Thurston's poetry reminds of those biker films where Sonny Barger and Co. are giving us the benefit of their thoughts..."I look in the sky/Catches my eye/To Be so High/On The Road/Free Like A Toad/Ready to unload/The rules and ways/Of the Man these days/Purple Haze/The senses all phase/The broad's hot gaze/End of days/Erotic praise".

Kim Gordon said at the time of Coco's birth that she was never gonna become one of those of musicians who write all the songs about her daughter, and then you read that they recorded Rather Ripped with Coco in mind, or something along those lines. Your children should be kept out of your own creative process , mainly because you're selling records to a majority made up of childless people, so they can't relate to that sort of thing as well as you think they might. Nothing against kids, or having them, don't get me wrong.

Yeah Lee is my favourite from SY.

Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" is a truly horrible song. What a way to blot his copybook.

Babies are the new Yoko Onos .

well Kim sure has been influenced, but i don't think she has written any lyrics specifically about her, unlike coco's father
i was listening to some sister, and stereo sanctity was on, and those lyrics were quite cutting, and i think much has to do with the delivery of the lyrics more then the words themselves, sort of like Radical Adults Lick Godhead Style, while the words themselves don't appear to be much, the way he sings them really propels the song so he should write lyrics which he can be good at, and not poetry to music, like pink steam |
Joyce Sims' Come Into My Life is one of the best songs ever written.

I've always thought this thread invited the sort of shit I'm about to engage in right now. To write that Pet Sounds sucks is pretty fucked. Yes, Elvis Costello's best album is the first one with The Attractions, This Year's Model. Not that I care all that much about Elvis Costello. |
Quote:
Wolf Eyes may not be your cup 'o tea, but they do not suck. As far as the noise hybrid bands go, they are one of the best, if not the best. |

People who rank Pet Sounds in their top three or so might be overrating it perhaps. The Beach Boys are a fine group. |

Me too, it's inescapable. Those two weren't all bad back in the day, but I can't stand Green Day. The Fall can be extremely boring at times, and the opposite at other times. |

Wow, the first person I completely agree with. Yes, this thread is a bit of a stinker. |
Quote:
I guess they were good at what they did initially because it was slightly more novel then, but overall, I agree. |
Quote:
You're an asshole. I've just added you to my ignore list. I'm not the hugest Nirvana-worshipper or anything, but to remark that you are glad Cobain is dead shows very little character on your part. Toodle-loo, fuckface. |
I prefer Swans after Children of God to Swans before Children of God.

trance feedback doesn't care...they are just some blue-moon poster with an axe to grind. These people briefly appear on the board every now and then to write nothing but agitating messages and check back the next day or whatever to see if they heated anyone up successfully. |
Quote:
I think I do too. Earlier Swans may be their most raw, but it doesn't hold up to repeated listenings like say, early Sonic Youth. Children of God and after is a somewhat friendlier sound, less raw, but also somehow even more bombastic with the dynamics there with Jarboe. Of course, they went acoustic or otherwise stripped-down later. |

Dude, you love Tool and NIN and badmouth the Beach Boys & The Boss and then write that you love James Taylor? I can't stand James Taylor. That music has no balls. It's as bad as some jazz fusion...fucking elevator music. |
fuck your sig is annoying, how do i just turn yours off?

Bob Dylan sucks? Look, you may not like Bob Dylan, and that's your own demented prerogative (and your own loss), but please, realize you make yourself look stupid when you write that "Bob Dylan sucks..." Yeah, maybe you're someone that can't handle drugs. |
ALIEN ANAL This message is hidden because ALIEN ANAL is on your ignore list.

I don't like John Zorn and Mike Patton.
I don't like the Stooges. The Beach Boys were somewhat boring. I'm not a big fan of Bob Dylan neither. Trout mask replica is a good album, but not a timeless masterpiece. Blonde Redhead's last album is boring and uninteresting. Faust's self-titled album was a masterpiece, but Faust so far is very poor imho. I can't listen to Borbetomagus and Diamanda Galas. Recent Autechre albums are better than early ones. Grateful Dead are overrated. Flog me. |
i dont dig mike patton either, cant stand his voice.
|
Aphex Twin is overrated. He hasn't put out half a decent record in years, but some people still talk about him like he's some sort of Mozart. Besides, Raymond Scott or Pierre Henry did some of that electronic stuff better than him and way before him.

Quote:
Good call on The Heads. I hadn't heard of them and my friend played me one of their records the other day and it was pretty damn good. |
Awesome. Smelly, do you have this one? It kicks butt.
 |
Thanks, Pork, I can't see any more.
|
sarramkrop - I don't have that, but damn, that's a sho nuff funky cover. Looks like another one to add to the wants list.

Let me know if you want me to up it.

If you can, that would be much appreciated.

The Worst Band of All Time
Mr. Bungle Overrated Bands and Artists Radiohead Hair Police Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (I completely respect his unique and astounding prowess) Shellac Butthole Surfers Xiu Xiu Bad Religion The Shins Patti Smith Most rap Underrated Bands and Artists maudlin of the Well Tar Tar Lamb Kayo Dot Toby Driver Johann Sebastien Bach The Gerogerigegege The Smiths John Zorn Paris Hilton Swans This Heat CAN Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky Crass Nat Baldwin Current 93 All Rock In Opposition I love most things that The Ramones have made, have throughout my life and feel I will still listen to them a lot every so often until I die. Most electro-punk/punk-funk we have around is abysmal art faggotry and I hope their radio shows are taken off the air and their art galleries burnt down. |

ther smityhs have sold millions of records, can i can understand. but zorn. he wonm the mackarthur genious award last year. doesnt that make you "rated" hjow much more rated can you be that to be awarded 100 grand for five years, simply to continue to be a genious? |
And saying the Butthole Surfers are overrated is a difficult claim considering how early material is the only stuff worth really mentioning. Do you mean the early albums? Or are you saying the band's whole career? Because if it is the latter, I'm sure a lot of people will agree.

Mr. Bungle I'd liken to spending an eternity in a "special" class with kids who spend their breaks spinning around in circles watching the mittens attatched to their jackets going round and round. The Smiths are one of those bands that are so ace that they're aceness is independent of however many mere humans love them. Yes, John Zorn has been recognised as a genius which is something that was bound to happen. This doesn't stop him from being far too underappreciated and underlistened. 11 year olds should be making Zorn #1 in the charts. And for the love of merciless God, why can't you spell? |
Quote:
Can are great and underlistened but not underrated being widely hailed as a great and influential band by rock critics. |
I must say for this case CAN and Pink Floyd's positions on the -rated scale must be switched, except Pink Floyd have a reasonable amount hate at their position, which CAN of course should never have. Yes though, us smart ones do put CAN where they deserve it.
And liking Kayo Dot too! I bid thee the best of days! |

Apologies. I got confused with the covers of the albums (as you can see they like orange and red on their artwork), so i've thought that that was the album by The Heads in my possesion. After nearly dropping a big pile of cds on me, i've found it and here it is. It's called 'Under Sided' and it's on Sweet Nothing.I couldn't find the image on google , so i've scanned it. If you don't have it, i'll up it:  |
