Killing Joke - Turn To Red

Alt-rock / dance / dub crossover. Before any of those genres (apart from dub) existed, at least as we know them today.

And more, this time less dubby but with a bubbling synth that wouldn't have sounded out-of-place at a rave:

Killing Joke - Almost Red

Recommended to anybody with taste - not necessarily those who'd usually click a Killing Joke link (which probably isn't many).

Have I ever mentioned how much I fucking love this band? Well I do. And even the most churlish bastard on the planet can't fail to admit that this stuff was waaaaaayyyy ahead of its time. Genius.
 
THE DOORS

30th anniversary DVD

3 live concerts+vids

highly reccomended on a large flatscreen with home cinema surround. oh yeah an acid is essential.
My fibre optic christmas tree is dancin cant keep my eyes off it lol

Race-related nonsense Farmaz. Anyone who's suffered can sing the blues. Its just there's plenty of examples of white folk doing it badly. Still ain't nothing to do with colour though.

Nice choice with Mr. Savage though, cheers.

Thanks, I pride myself on my blues music :)

on your post I 100% disagree there is not a single white guy in history that can play or sing the blues like the old black guy's & thats a fact.

Alan Lomax said the same thing!!!!!
If you don't know who he is use Google, he is the guy that found among others...............

1) Mississippi fred mcdowell
2) Leadbelly
3) muddy waters

for a small sample, he said in his book the black guys can do blues, whites just cant do it & yes I am white & did my best for months on end to learn how to play in a real delta style, I FAILED in a huge way ;)

anyway...................some more real blues that makes your blood run cold, any poker players know the feeling for this one :)

Both really - it's The KLF reviving the JAMs name, which they were pretty fond of doing.

Choon anyhow, as rightfully pointed out. And many of those towns are indeed grim. Fact.

I'm as unpredictable as ever this morning:

Johnny Thunders - Great Big Kiss

For the two women in Manchester to whom I'd like to administer a great big kiss.

Johnny Thunders - She's So Untouchable

And for the frustration that comes with one being a rapidly-rising star who'll soon forget all about me and the other being 'taken'.

Life ain't fair, kids. Boo-hoo, poor me.
 
Placebo - I'll be yours

I owe my love of Placebo to my missus, this is "Our song"
It was going to be our wedding song also <3<3


Placebo - Every You And Every Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJFTdMECtFI

Like the naked leads the blind.
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind.
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind.

All alone in space and time.
There's nothing here but what here's mine.
Something borrowed, something blue.
Every me and every you.
Every me and every you,
Every Me...

Not wanting to split hair too much but saying white people can't sing the blues LIKE black people is very different to saying they can't sing the blues. No, i don't think they can sing it like black guys who have that era of pain etched into their hearts. And for a while guy to try and emulate a delta blues style is likely to fail every time really, specially when they're not even from America.

That said, many think that 'the blues' is simply an approach or a way of conveying pain through a particular use of a scale - in which case i think white folk do it very well (here and there).

This kinda debate could, and does, run and run so lets spend the time sticking on another record ey? Think maybe some early Peter Green...
