godthedog 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2005 i fooled around with it while doing errands this morning, and came up with something like: bowtie interlude love hater happy valentine's day the rooster roses knowing war my favorite things pink & blue flip flop rock dracula's wedding she lives in my lap unhappy a life in the day of benjamin andre hey ya ghetto musick the love below (intro) don't remember exactly (the placement of "war" and "dracula's wedding" are especially a little fuzzy), but that was the gist of it. works a lot better if i don't try a one-to-one alternation and just let andre do his thing for ten minutes plus at a time, i think the trick is to take the explorations and cut to big boi just before it gets boring. the minor key-ness of "she lives in my lap" gives it a whole different tone when it's placed further back. IDRM was right, "bowtie" is the perfect opener. i'll probably give up by tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For a guy who has lived the life he has, you'd think the content would be a little more than blowjobs and bitches. I thought he'd have at least a good three album run, but he's already run outta steam. Also, where's the legitimate feuds in hip-hop? I mean you got Game dissing Jay-Z over a misquote. What bullshit!

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 The joys of groupthink. Why do something original(or step aside, allowing a spot for someone who can), when you know you'll make your money tossing anything out there? I can't think of any musical leaders right now that are showing any inclination to take their chosen music style into a creative and positive extension of the current product. There are no Michael Jackson's or Varg Vikernes' or King/Hanneman, etc etc etc to insert fruitful thought into what they're doing to influence others to do something that doesn't pollute the musical gene pool any further.

Red Hot Thumbtack In The Eye 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 For the Metal people in attendance, i have just thought of a better way to describe the new CoC album. If you remember what happened to Down between NOLA and NOLA2, when they somehow became enamoured with the idea of paying tribute to the music, instead of just paying tribute and rocking out. Multiply that by 1.5 and water down the heaviness into the more accessible rocking root of Thin Lizzy and Lynyrd Skynyrd of Pepper Keenan's musical love. Paying tribute to the idea of being retro, instead of just doing it maybe? Rarely do they show as much rhythmic range as they do on this record, for what that's worth.

I thought he'd have at least a good three album run, but he's already run outta steam. Also, where's the legitimate feuds in hip-hop? I mean you got Game dissing Jay-Z over a misquote. What bullshit! That's because we've been treated to the G-Unit (starring 50 Cent), Young Buck (feat. 50 Cent), Lloyd Banks (feat. 50 Cent) and Game (feat 50 Cent) albums in the span of a year. If all that wasn' enough to whet our 50 Cent appetite, we also got to hear every song (single or not) on the radio from his debut album with a few mixtapes thrown in. Over-exposure. Someone needs to explain his approach to me. Is he afraid we're going to forget who he is if we don't hear his voice every five minutes? You know you need to take a break when you're coming out with shit called "Gatman and Robbin." That's so bad that it almost crosses over into being brilliant.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Two things: First of all. I don't find the guitar work in Stairway to Heaven to be some masterpiece. I listen to it and I say "meh" to it. I don't see how the solo is that impressive and I think there are some songs like Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On, The Ocean and Tangerine all better songs that he wrote. Second. Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2, sounds disco-ish if you ask me. Someone can turn that beat into a funky club hit if they want too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
godthedog 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 tori amos came out with a new album tuesday called 'the beekeeper', an epic concept album about a bunch of gardens. reviews seem to indicate that her downward spiral is continuing. i am saddened by this, but not surprised.

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2005 Its cover is suitably horrible. w/r/t Amos, she has one song I like—"Cornflake Girl." When she isn't steeped miserably in womynhood, she's far too precious for me to stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see how the solo is that impressive and I think there are some songs like Whole Lotta Love, Ramble On, The Ocean and Tangerine all better songs that he wrote. Don't get me started. There's also one Tori Amos song I like but I can't remember what it's called. It starts with "Look I'm standing naked before you, don't you want more than my sex". I first heard it sung by the priest on Oz, which is probably why I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 I listened to It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back today. "Bring the Noise" and "Don't Believe the Hype" are my two least favorite songs on the album. I noticed how strange it is that I usually skip the two hits, and it's not overexposure either, I never really liked them. At least they're right at the beginning. A strange mar on what I would otherwise have called one of the best three or four albums of the 80s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2005 By the way, The Head on the Door is what I actually do consider the best album of the 80s. Next would be a Prince album, but his releases were so strong during the period I have trouble picking one. Nation of Millions would be in the next slot, or maybe Appetite For Destruction.

"spiderman '79" is a damn good song. i'm almost inspired to check out their later stuff, but i've heard that it isn't nearly as good. now that i think about it, that whole year was a great one for totally enjoyable, totally forgettable pop-rock albums. our lady peace's 'naveed', letters to cleo's 'aurora gory alice'...why can't the young people write good pop hooks and just add some fuzz anymore?
