A well dressed, well mannered guy has left the building! Something we will not be able to say when some guys of this NG will take the staircase to heaven. I was quite fond of Robert Palmer in the Eighties (as with Thomas Dolby, Zain Griff, Rupert Hine, M, A Flock Of Seagulls, and so on...) Felix

Chemical Lips

Yeah, I've been really excited about that one, but since I don't have MTV and avoid the radio like the plague (not that they would play it on most stations) I still haven't heard it. Can't wait until it's released next week, hopefully the vinyl will have it on there! Sorry thrash but I've been into the lips since high school, they may be trendy now (especially in the UK), but there's a reason. I bet you would like there early stuff, much more lo fi and punky, in fact there first album is called Finally the Punk Rockers are Taking Acid, which is a pretty accurate description of their first few albums. They put on a great show too, Wayne actually upstaged Beck on their tour together, which I thought was quite an accomplishment.

the lips are one of my favorites. they're a local band and they threw their listening party for yoshimi here (norman, ok). they had a contest for the best robot voice and robot dance. fun! when the album finally gets to the battle, its cool. i like the soft bulletin better, though:) ivy --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

prog rock
by Alan 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

I agree with the Radiohead/general direction back towards something proggy going on. You've got FSOL playing with live groups (and sounding incredibly amateurish IMO), Orb doing albums chopped into songs,... and some other electronic guys going (or returning to) rock sounds and instruments. I was recently lamenting the absence of stupid, overblown crap like Styx or ELP or Rush. Actually I hate listening to Rush but damn did they put on a killer show. And I still wince at the thought that I can sing along to the Cornerstone album by Styx. Or the huge soft spot I have for Tarkus by ELP (I think I was 8 when I bought that lp). Close to the Edge and Fragile are both incredible albums by Yes and I think define all the best qualities that that awesome combination of musicians could produce... Man, I haven't listened to those in years. JG, I hope that digital rotten tomato I chucked at you didn't hurt. I got a cool lp from a lady I was working for today. It's a "super high definition stereo" lp of sound effects from 1957. It claims to have a frequency response of 16-25,000hz! I can't wait to give it a listen. It includes cop cars, motorcycles, and a bunch of horse sounds. Well, I have to wait as I'm leaving for a few days. I wish I had something to say about Thomas Dolby but I don't. The very concept of listening to Thrash having sex (especially since he's as old as he is and is only just figuring out the G-spot) really made me kind of sick to my stomach. I knew about and had found the G-spot back when I was 18. That girlfriend wasn't super sensitive on the clit (compared with many women) though her nipples were extremely sensitive. Go figure. Does anyone here like Psychic TV? They supposedly held ceremonies in the studio and recorded the resulting orgasms for looping. I'm one of those people that really loved Towards Thee Infinite Beat. Unfortunately my cd has started flaking towards the outside so many of the tracks are gone. I've got an lp (limited to 666 copies, how cool is that?) of Allegory and Self which is very different but I also love that. www.psychicreform.com Change your mind. "I'm the commander--see, I don't need to explain--I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being the president. Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody an explanation." -- George Bush

<< I was recently lamenting the absence of stupid, overblown crap like Styx or ELP or Rush. >> "absence"? i know that Rush just released a live show (SARSstock in Toronoto earlier this year) in MP3 on their website. [NOTE: i did not download this, but the Film Critic for my site is a huge Rush fan, and he was going on about it....] and Styx were on tour this summer. they played at the Ampitheatre here in Atlanta, i think with REO Speedwagon. and yet, i somehow managed to miss it.... << Does anyone here like Psychic TV? >> they have such a wide variety of stuff out there -- some of it great, some tedious. i like some of it... << I'm one of those people that really loved Towards Thee Infinite Beat. >> i'm there with you on that one. great album. << Unfortunately my cd has started flaking towards the outside so many of the tracks are gone. >> ha ha Evil. << I've got an lp (limited to 666 copies, how cool is that?) of Allegory and Self which is very different but I also love that. >> i don't know that one. what is it like? is it more psych-prog type stuff? i think the bulk of their stuff is like that. for example, i had a buddy in college who was collecting a series they did in the early 90's of live shows. (something like 13 12" shows in 13 months...) anyway, the bulk of that was basically stoned out prog. parts were awesome, but some of it...

Music BS

I listened to the new Matmos today and I thought it was total shite, pretentious wankery. Which is a shame considering that the side project one of those dudes put out a few months ago called "Soft Pink Truth" was totally booty shakin'! And howzabout I let y'all in on a little secret. . . YES BLOWS!!!!!!! The Flaming Lips on the other hand are genius.
