Random musical chat.

Yeah he's shite. It's actually embarrassing how bad he's let his playing get.

 

I was pissjng myself at times watching their Glasto set on the tele. He can't even keep time anymore, which regardless of your playing level is pretty important for a drummer.

 

He's a chump

[Carvalho Diablo]

Lars Ulrich is an incredibly average drummer as well.

 

I've gone on a total Curtis Mayfield trip recently, almost forgotten how good he was.

 

[General Dryness]

Lars Ulrich behaving like a total bell end, who could imagine such a thing?

 

That entire album is woefully produced compared to the likes of Master. 

 

Lars Ulrich is the definition of bell end. A proper cunt.

[Dr Nowt]

Ah man are they playing Psychocandy? I went to the Manchester show last year and while it was obviously ace I was hoping to hear some of their other stuff this time around. They sound like a hoot, I'll definitely check them out barring any bad clashes. Excited for Ride, the Pop Group, Ariel Pink, Pissed Jeans, Earl and Alvvays mostly. 

 

Anything we should be aware of regarding drugs? I took so much MDMA at Beacons last year I'm scared to touch the stuff again. I think it was possibly mixed with something mind, because me and my mate had hallucinations and I have brain zaps for almost a week after. The zaps are fucking horrible made me wary of touching the stuff again. Hallucinating wasn't pleasant either. I might have enjoyed myself if I was expecting it but instead it was closest thing I've had to a 'bad trip' Genuinely thought there was a 6 foot purple leopard in the tent while I was trying to sleep. 

 

My mate had it worse mind, he thought he was at work and tried cleaning the fucking toilets at one point. He also saw his sister floating inside one of the indoor tents during Daphni. I think everyone was a little worse for ware at that point though. People of all ages with jaws swinging in ways that defied logic. Ahhh, can''t wait for more of that! Only 90 odd days to go. 

 

That sounds more like 2CB than MDMA, mate.  I'd imagine it was that or something very similar, based on what you described.

You got 'Curtis Live'?

 

Had it on cassette years ago and wore it out, just got the cd tonight, fuck me it's good. His cover of We've only just begun is sublime.

Yes mate, love his live stuff. Like I said in an earlier post, some of it is rough sounding, but any deficiencies in the recordings are more than made up for by the obvious warmth and groove going on.

 

Oh, and the man has one of the best, sweetest voices ever.

 

You get that Live in Chicago album then mate ? Only short, but an absolute belter.

Long story with the Chicago one, the ebay shop sent me a random Bing Crosby cd instead. Twice. Anyway, they've refunded me so I'll get it elsewhere.

 

Used to listen to Curtis non stop when I was younger but this thread has revived it a fair bit, love all the Impressions stuff too. Had Billy Jack on a lot recently, what a tune.

Bit of a tangent, but I saw Martha Reeves and The Vandella's live at a (smallish) open air festival last summer; drinks were flowing, the sun was blazing and the old girl was bloody brilliant.

 

 

Band of fantastic musicians.

My mate met her when she played in Edinburgh and said she was fucking nuts.

 

In a good way.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Public Enemy headlined that festival, this vid was taken probs from only a few feet from where I was. Fantastic they were, Chuck D is just an enormous presence and a great, great frontman.

Yeah it doesn't sound like MDMA.

Just listening to Curtis Live now mate, great recording, especially love the sound of the percussion, drums and bass.

Agreed, I've decided Right on for the Darkness is the greatest song of all time today.

 

Fucking hell, it's so good.

Listening to it atm...great guitar and vocal. Love the strings on it too.

His string arrangements were magical.

 

The boy was a genius.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Just dl'd a James Brown Greatest Hits lp. Really digging it, grooves real hard. Band sharp and tight as a nun's chuff.

Thundercat is a cool mofo, I just can't get into his music at all though.

Papa didn't cuss
He didn't raise a whole lotta fuss
But when we did wrong
Papa beat the hell out of us

The Father John Misty album is pretty special, my favourite of the year.

[The Golden Eel]

Was listening to Psychedelic Furs in the car there for the first time in a year or so.  A band that doesn't really get the attention or kudos they deserve.

 

[Carvalho Diablo]

Brilliant.
