Deppo Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 Mansun - Six very much a curate's egg of a band.
Ponty Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 Pearl Jam - No Code. never really got into this album, so Im giving it s proper listen after 13 (!!!) years "Hail Hail" is one of my favourite PJ tracks.
Julian H. Cope Posted 24 February, 2009 Author Posted 24 February, 2009 Mansun - Six very much a curate's egg of a band. Agree.I also think Attack Of The Grey Lantern is a classic. I must say you have such fine taste sir.
Deppo Posted 24 February, 2009 Posted 24 February, 2009 Agree.I also think Attack Of The Grey Lantern is a classic. I must say you have such fine taste sir. Why, thank you. 'Stripper Vicar' is my favourite song of theirs. Little Kix is a bit rubbish, though, 'I Can Only Disappoint You' aside...
keithd Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 killers hot fuss cos i saw them at the o2 last night.
TheSaint75 Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 Agree.I also think Attack Of The Grey Lantern is a classic. I must say you have such fine taste sir. Funny enough I was listening to those albums the other day, hadn't heard them for ages but still loved 'em Just listened to the new prodigy album and wow what an album, back to their kick ass style, played it very loud whilst the wife is out and it took me back to my proper ravin days with some classic samples. Not visited this forum before, didn't even know it existed TBH, hope you don't mind me butting in
Pancake Posted 25 February, 2009 Posted 25 February, 2009 The Posies - Frosting On The Beater Oh, classic! Ive been playing a load of Unkle...

Julian H. Cope Posted 27 February, 2009 Author Posted 27 February, 2009 The Housemartins - London 0 Hull 4 Strange, although not on the album I have recently been singing 'Always something there to remind me'. I have been getting funny looks at work when I belt it out.Stupid f*ckers.
SuperMikey Posted 1 March, 2009 Posted 1 March, 2009 Dawn Lamb - The Seal Cub Clubbing Club Because We're Dead - Slow Club Happy Birthday You - Jay Jay Pistolet Are my three favourites at the moment.

Contains hard to find UNKLE remixes, great intrumentals and "mash ups" and other awesome tracks from the likes of Stereo MCs, Quannum, Jon Spencer, South, DJ Shadow, QOTSA... PM me if interested.

Pancake Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Amon Tobin - Foley Room Live in Brussels Freebie from here: http://www.amontobin.com/storeNew/detail.php?item_type=freebie&id=42
St Landrew Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 My awful guitar playing. How that hell do you get from G to F [E shaped barre chord] in a spilt second after every other line..? http://www.accessbackstage.com/america/cord/cord002.htm I'm not getting frustrated. It's great fun. I'm just not able to visualise my fingers moving that fast yet. Ah well, back to the grindstone.

It's great fun. I'm just not able to visualise my fingers moving that fast yet. Ah well, back to the grindstone. Yep, just tried it... can be done! If you want a good song of practice getting to F quickly with, try Bob Dylans Hurricane. not only is F used a lot during it, the tempo piocks up as the song goes on (for 8 mins).

Don't suppose you have a tabs-link Pancake..? The guitar has been in the family since 1973-74. Bought completely new then, it's almost in identical condition, having hardly been used. I walked into Fret Music the other day and almost laughed at the quality hanging up with typical price labels of £120 or more on them. A musician friend looked at it yesterday and reckoned way over £300, and he said he was being cautious. Trouble is, I'm not good enough for this guitar and I know it.
Pancake Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Don't suppose you have a tabs-link Pancake..? http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/tabs/b/bob_dylan/hurricane_crd.htm The basic chord layout, dont really need a full tab for a nice acoustic strumathon.
saint francis Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Landrew have you tried to play the G as a bar chord (two frets up from the F) instead of open stringed? Your hand shape would then be the same for the F which would probably make more sense and would almost certainly be quicker.
LVSaint Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Sabres of Paradise - Haunted Dancehall. Brilliant and dark. Forgot how good this was.
LVSaint Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Amon Tobin - Foley Room Live in Brussels Freebie from here: http://www.amontobin.com/storeNew/detail.php?item_type=freebie&id=42 Thanks. Will listen to this later.
Julian H. Cope Posted 5 March, 2009 Author Posted 5 March, 2009 I can feel an electronic vibe going on.In light of that I am listening to Material - Mantra Sun Electric - Ahhh!
Deppo Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Badly Drawn Boy - Ep3 I particularly enjoy My Friend Cubilas on this ep.
St Landrew Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Michael Hedges - Watching My Life Go By; followed quickly by Michael Hedges - Aerial Boundaries [both for the umpteenth time]. That latter one is why I picked up the guitar after 35 years of looking the other way. Now I'll never be able to play like Hedges could, but I'm OK with that. When I was a teenager, the enormity of the task, and the fact that I wanted to play well, or not at all, meant that I denied myself the chance. Well, not now. I can play badly and listen in absolute contentment to a virtuoso. The way MH got such dynamism, drama, and delicacy from a 6 stringed instrument is compensation enough.

Cheers for that. I'll do a bit of that when I'm sober enough [ah-hem]. Btw, also ta, Pancake.
St Landrew Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 More oh dear... it's has become an XTC evening/morning. Complicated Game [Drums & Wires]... If there is anything better in the genre, I've yet to hear it. Truth is, there's nothing like it. Well, possibly Scissor Man.
Pancake Posted 6 March, 2009 Posted 6 March, 2009 Quannum - Specturm Neil Young - Harvest Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers DJ Muggs/GZA - Grandmasters Leftfield - Rhythm & Stealth Whiskeytown - Faithless Street Placebo - Once More With Feel An odd mix today.

Rory Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 Picked up a copy of the Dark was the Night compilation on Friday and have been listening to it all weekend. There are a few top tracks, notably from Yeasayer, Feist, The National but a few dud ones too.
Rory Posted 8 March, 2009 Posted 8 March, 2009 Been sent this on Facebook: It's been a long time. We shouldn't have left you... After the touring for OLTA came to an end, we all dispersed to tend to our individual personal lives. ...And to get our ducks in a row. Now the band has reconvened, and we are rehearsing new songs. We find ourselves marveling at the tremendous focus that has defined our early rehearsals for this, our 4th effort. All kidding aside, we feel like a new band. Once again, we have no concept to this batch of song-writing. (We are often asked about our intentions when we set out to write music.) There is rarely any intention to this process. We just make the music. And without going into too much detail, the songs sound vital. It's as though we've hit upon a balance between our urgency and our calm. And true to our better work, this is music that unravels over time. We anticipate that, once it's done, you high-minded folks will welcome the music... into your bedrooms...to swagger and breathe... It's still early, yet, though. We will keep you posted. In the meantime, a couple of us have kept ourselves busy with extra-curricular activities. Carlos has made a film called http://www.myfriendstoldmeaboutyou.com/>My Friends Told Me About You and Sam has released a record with his band Magnetic Morning. And we hope that you're all weathering well the turmoil of the age. Lovingly, Interpol www.myfriendstoldmeaboutyou.com Source: http://www.myfriendstoldmeaboutyou.com

St Landrew Posted 9 March, 2009 Posted 9 March, 2009 Rendevous With Rama by Arthur C Clarke. Made a point of recording the Classic Serial off Radio 4 online for the 2 x 1hr episode story. 20 minutes in and not bad at all.
