Comments which don't warrant a thread.

Recommended Posts

I want to listen to long, droning, shoegazing, ambient albums. If you know any that you like a lot, recommend them to me.

Spacemen 3, which was Jason Pierce's band pre-Spiritualized, for one.

 

Also, check out Galaxie 500. Go in chronological order with them.

Fuck Monster Magnet. I got tickets to their show at Hampton Beach Casino & Ballroom w/Motorhead, and heard that MM isn't going to play after all. So now I'm stuck with tickets to a show that I really don't want to see.

 

And this is the 4th local show that Monster Magnet had announced and then canceled in the last year or so.

London Calling was my favorite album for years. After that, it was Abbey Road.

 

Now, I'm not sure. In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Doolittle, Blonde On Blonde, The Soft Bulletin, Enter The 36 Chambers, and Odyssey & Oracle are all in contention, no doubt.

Eskimo is currently enjoying increased circulation also.

Do you own the DVD as well?

 

 

 

...And does anyone else on these boards enjoy Tim Buckley aside from me?

Not yet. The Commercial album DVD fucked me up enough for the time being. Not least because Andy Partridge is credited as playing on the new tracks!

 

I like 'Hi Ho Silver Lining'...I've heard nothing else.

The climax of the last track on the DVD is amazing to watch. Especially when the polar bear pops up smiling and holding a bottle of Coca-Cola.

I know that's him singing on "Margaret Freeman" from the original album, but I wasn't aware he did anything new for the DVD release.

I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon of naming your favourite album now. For the longest time, it was Disintegration, but I now think it's London Calling. I listened to it for the first time in about two moths today and decided that it's my favourite, along with being fucking flawless from beginning to end.

In order to decide which is my favorite, I should listen to nothing but Rain Dogs and Seamonsters for the rest of the week. Of course, this could end up backfiring, causing me to hate both albums. Hm.

 

Anyway, this is a big enough breakthrough for me, as I used to never be able to narrow down an all-time favorite list to less than five.

That might be it, then.

 

 

 

As for The Clash, I think it's solid and I have a bizarre soft spot for 'Jail Guitar Doors' for some reason, but yeah, it's not a classic.

I have no desire to see Motorhead again. Seen 'em once, and it was more than enough. I skipped them when they played with Maiden, and would have skipped them in Hampton, too, by just leaving after Monster Magnet.

 

Now I think I'll just go up and miracle my tickets to someone that's in line to buy a pair.

But what about Sandista!???????????

Never heard it. Whether your comment was sarcasm or not (no offence btw) I can't help but compare every punk album to Pink Flag. And I know what wins.

 

In other news, an album which is certainly not in contention is Spiderland. It's good. Very good. But I don't like it half as much as anyone else seems to. Suicide is very high as far as my personal punk rankings go, and I've only had it a few weeks.

My punk rock obsessed friend insists that if you cut Sandinista! down to one disc with the choice songs, it's the perfect album. The prospect of listening to the whole thing several times in order to do so is one that I am not willing to face, so has anybody here done it?
