At what point did it become acceptable to describe music as 'absolutely gorgeous', I was going to say on the GF, but I don't believe that's ever been acceptable anywhere, Would never have happened under a Reich regime.

 

I used the word "yearn". Deliberately.

When I said it was...and everyone else shuffled their feet and fell in line.

How can you hear the blackbird if you've got earphones in.

 

Columbo over here.

 

Biglad messed up with his blackbird/earphones overlap. He was definitely off killing somebody.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Yep, and as Columbo would always say, case fucking closed.

[setreal]

Wrong, he said "I love it when a plan comes together"

[ZonkoVille77]

It's like 11 tracks recorded for film.

[Total Longo]

To be fair, Al, even Tom Ross said it was lovely. High praise indeed.

So far I have only listened to the two songs with videos, but man, Burn the Witch on headphones is so goddamn intense. Combines the best of a lot of musical worlds.

[Hand Shandy]

Just bought it.

 

You cunts better be right.

A turn of phrase for when no other adjective will do, like just about everything this magnificent band produces.

I made the mistake of listening to The Bends this morning. I like the new album but it's not even close really, is it?

[Joe Strummer]

After hearing the first two tracks off the album I was quite disappointed the rest didn't match up.

[Spy Bee]

As soon as people describe a band as 'important' I just have to avoid listening to their music, especially when that music sounds like a dog crying itself to sleep!

21 years ago that though, if they were still churning out the same stuff as they did on that album i'd be massively disappointed.

How would you know though, if you had avoided it?

The Bends was written in an era where guitars and nothing else mattered. Bands typically start out with guitar driven tracks and then progress to different instruments. THe best bands are successful at this instead of staying static. Be biting listening to the dame regurgitated shite

New album is better in my opinion.

Wow, you must have missed out on the vast majority of the greatest music ever made then. Not the greatest strategy ever, really.

I just had a thought that at some point in the future we may get to see Burn The Witch performed live with a full compliment of strings. 

 

It made me a little bit hard.

Any of you blokes lucky enough to see them later this month?

[Adebisi]

It's no Kid A, Hail to the Thief or In Rainbows, but I am enjoying it. Will give it a real good listen over the weekend.

Sadly, no. But i've seen them five times in the past and i'm happy enough with that.

I think describing music as important is pretentious and embarrassing.

[Stu Monty]

Well people call footballers geniuses and results important too.

 

Surely more pretentious? Given music's huge cultural significance?

 

There are bands and artists that are important in the history of music, and some are important in terms of their effect on wider culture, hard to get away from that being a fact really.

I think Hail to the Thief isn't that great. Always felt half completed ( in terms of production) and overlong. Knock that down to a ten track album and it's a winner. 

 

Minus points for the dirge that is We Suck Young Blood, in my opinion the worst thing they've recorded.
