Ha, well she's not playing all those instruments herself.
On another related note, the recent New Pornographers album was kinda disappointing.

Rating your song from the last page: okay, kind of repetitive. 6/10
Let us reflect then on happier times:Quote:

Edith is classic of course, 9/10.
Here's some more French music, rather different from Edith.

It achieves level of the grotesque which is surely worth 2/10.Quote:

Somehow I got it into my mind that Madame la Marquise is making a cruize... which reminded me of the theme of the Love Boat, but I changed my mind to this song.
Downeaster Alexa
Hey, that's not half bad! I'll give that an 8/10.
Something else from Loki's random Youtube jukebox...

Nothing in my way - Keane

When you put the spinners i thought you meant this folk group.

I very much enjoyed the shots of scenic splendor that comprised the video. And I didn't hate the music, although folk isn't really my thing. 7/10

First reaction: this video is creepy.
Second reaction: Wow, this song is fantastic (they do sound like the B-52s).
9/10

I'm not sure Bauhaus were ever classifiable as punk, or even posey-punk. They were more sort of glam-goth-pop-rock-new-wave-indie. Er. Which was a very identifiable movement. But I'm not crazy about the song. 5/10
The best band in that vein, if you want my opinion, which of course you do, you know you do, yes you do, is this one....
Oh, crap. Some Canadian thing got in there. I can't face it. Pip, review the Furs and take yours up to the next slot. I beg you.
Haha, OK fine, 7.5/10, at least the sound is much better than the last one.Quote:

Liked some of the images and the music without the lyrics (not that I understand them). It would be all right on a movie soundtrack probably: 2/10.Quote:

Punk - maybe aspiring to that. We can agree to differ seeing as we're both socialist. (I'm more a cup of tea socialist). :biggrinjester:
I listen to this frequently as it's on my Spotify playlist. 9/10Quote:

Just when you think there might be some future for mankind, some focus on higher concerns, some elevated aspiration or inspired mutual satori, some significance to our species - just when you are within a blink of believing that human beings might achieve something together, you remember that the Red Hot Chili Peppers sell lots of records, and in that moment all hope for humanity is whisked away like Marlboro smoke on a gust of chilly wind.

The perfect excuse to trot out this little essay...Quote:

It’s a fair bet that more people know the refrain from Don McClean’s song about the man than could name five Van Gogh paintings. This is indicative of the problem with Vince.
Ate paint, became obsessed with a whore, self-mutilated, went mad, committed suicide unappreciated and in poverty. Pretty much the template for contemporary requirements of an artist. With a résumé like that, how could he not be a genius?
Well, look at the pictures. Heartfelt daubs, unarguably. Vibrant with colour straight out of the pot and bearing the frantic strokes of a man in a hurry to get along to the brothel. But twenty-five million dollars for a still life of flowers in a vase? If cost were a measure of talent, that would make Van Gogh a better painter than Michelangelo, Picasso, Raphael – which, let’s be honest, he ain’t.
He is, though, a more famously tortured soul than any of them. He’s the fine art equivalent of Marilyn Monroe – a lost and misunderstood spirit that everyone feels they could have saved, given a chance meeting over a glass of absinthe. People adore the man – and his art by association - because he’s the personification of the romantic view of the artist. Mad, sad and unrecognised in his lifetime, he has taken on a dually-vital role in our view of art.
Firstly, he lets us off liking anything contemporary, because he’s the proof that, despite our philistine laziness, the good stuff will eventually rise to the top. We have no idea what’s going on in art these days but – hey – we’re not supposed to. Posterity will sort it out for us.
Secondly – and complementarily - he allows us to be retrospectively insightful about genius. We are the posterity that rescued Vincent’s work. We are more perceptive than any of his blinkered and cloddish contemporaries. We don’t know what we like, but we know lots about art.
Our fondness for Van Gogh amounts to self-gratifying necrophilia – and it’s a pity, because the work is really not bad at all. Unfortunately we don’t stop to listen to the clarified silence of the starry night. We’re too busy amplifying the echoed whines of a nutcase with earache.
And I don't like the song much either. 3/10
