Henry Spencer

Hey Battlenuts, I saw somebody on another forum who had the same avatar as you. What's it from?

I've always considered Ebert to be amoung the least populist of major film critics.

I don't know of anybody who visits allmusic for their reviews.

Yeah, but if he started listening to them, people might mistake him for you.

Yesterday and thus far today (looking to add in a few more, I have a day off of work): Now spinning:

Since I've Been Loving You is the most tedious song on that album. Otherwise, it's probably their best, although I'm only vaguely interested in Led Zeppelin.

The Magnetic Fields did a version of Heroes, too. It sounds like most of their early work, but I don't mind, the sound suits the song well enough. Still, I don't really think people should be covering Heroes. Resist your urges.

A warning - one of the best songs on the new album is the thunderous 'Mama lay softly on the riverbed'. So enjoy that one. Great song. I think he's gonna lose it the most to National Front Disco, though.

I'm going to make a new list of ten favorite songs without even looking at my old one. In no order: Nico - I'll Keep It With Mine Galaxie 500 - Don't Let Our Youth Go To Waste Guided By Voices - Blimps Go 90 Guided By Voices - Smothered In Hugs Beat Happening - Tiger Trap The Magnetic Fields - Papa Was A Rodeo Roy Orbison - In Dreams The Modern Lovers - Government Center Mickey & Sylvia - Love Is Strange The Left Banke - Walk Away Renee

Jingus ignores my e-mails every time I try to sign up for The Pit. Think of what I'm missing.

I always liked Sorted For E's & Wizz the best from Different Class. A bit surprised that nobody else has mentioned it as a favorite.

Plastic Ono Band is more cathartic, which probably makes it less hopeless and sad ultimately. As for which one is the better album? Hard to say. Nebraska is a stronger collection of songs, but very few albums provide as intense an emotional experience as POB.

They've been using that same ad campaign for years. I'm not sure the economy has anything to do with it. Maybe Kansas is just in a permanent state of peculiar depression.
