PLAGIARISM!

I can't see how the hell Gang of Four will have anything like enough energy this time round, but I'll still go and see em. The Wedding Present are touring in February as well. Inc, have you heard anything by The Associates? Some of the instrumentals are pedestrian but Billy Mackenzie's vocals are pretty cool. He's mainly compared to Russell Mael and Scott Walker. Play some sparks.

Fuck.

I actually just listened to that on Sunday. I'm curious what you've enjoyed most out of the Residents that you've heard. Meet the Residents Fuck it, I don't think it's worth trying to figure out what God In Three Persons means. The Residents have a canny knack of pretending to be highbrow when they're just fucking around. I do like that album though. Everything they did in the 70 was pretty much awesome. And get Demons Dance Alone from 2002. It's their most accessible work, but don't let that put you off.

'Becalmed' off Eno's Another Green World gets me, and it's an instrumental. Stuff like Morrissey doesn't really make me feel sad, but the thing about depressing music and lyrics is that it gives you the sense other people feel the same way and they're just as angry as you (if you can relate to it directly) and that makes you feel better, just like talking to someone about stuff makes it better.

This is old ground. Next, I challenge you to make a cube.

As long as Kurt's always got room for a J.O.B. to my boy Show he can politic his ass off.

Kickass. I'm gonna mosh to 'Rented Rooms'.

Mozza - 'Late Night, Maudlin Street'. Got to listen to 'Kitchen Person' soon though, cos I'm addicted to that, and 'Fearless (it takes a full moon)' by The Associates at the moment.

Kanye West's rants about the education system 'oh I've got my degrees' etc are very one dimensional and just crap, really. That would be an example of my least favourite kind of 'skits'. I'm not a big fan in general. Can't think of one I like immediately.

I liked it, it's one of those childhood memories that kinda scared you, but you remember it fondly. Like Ghostbusters 2. I had to leave the cinema the first time I saw that one though.

A guy I know (who has posted here in the past) went to a fancy dress party last month, and right up until the day of the party he'd decided on Mario, hero to generations of children everywhere and jolliest of plumbers. Then he thought 'Right, I couldn't be arsed with getting the costume, so what have I got already? Bear mask, boiler suit, toy machine gun...I'll go as a terrorist!' only when he got there did he realise it was 9/11. I just love the fact that Mario could offend practically no one on the planet.

They were tremendous fun at Glastonbury 2003. Like, really.

I'm OK but I'm not here.

The Velvet Underground & Nico then Pink Flag & some Associates, I reckon. Kitchen Person kicks all kinds of ass.

Have to agree.

Well, Sparks for fuck's sake. This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both of Us is a classic, and so are all the rest. Also Television Wire

The Associates - Fourth Drawer Down. Mostly kicks ass. Siouxie and the Banshees - Juju - pretty damn good also.

This does suck. He always played the right stuff, can't really say that about anyone else.

I think Prince is fairly well-to-do guys. He still shifts the odd record here and there.

I recall recommending the Residents' Roadworms to IDRM as a slice of fuckered up shit, I mainly like it because the intention of the original version of Wormwood was to scare the shit out of everybody, and it was sometimes a bit tame. Not this time. Christ.

I leave you guys alone for two weeks....

Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician and yeah, TG. 'Persuasion' is currently a favourite, and 'Hamburger Lady' is probably the scariest. You need the sleevenotes though.

And following on from my first post in this thread, bye for now.

Well, there were seven bids...

I'm er...just off to the patent office...
