EDIT- just rated Sancho's.
Hmmm.... 4, or 5. I can't decide. Maybe less.

I liked it. 7/10.
This one used to play in a city centre pub I used to work in in the 80s. It always takes me back. Great vid too.

Sorry, Mark. I’ve never been much good at following the rules. It’s caused trouble for me my whole life. At any rate, I was trying to rate your tune metaphorically: to me it felt like 4th and long, and I couldn’t do anything with it, so I punted. If I have to give it rating, I’ll say…nah, I can’t do it. It’s just not my cup of tea (not to mix metaphors or anything). I’m sure it works on some level for you and a lot of other people, but I’m tone-deaf to it. Okay, okay, okay, it had some pretty parts, how about…6/10? Y Amigos?Quote:

Okay, so, no Bieber fans here. Here’s a Canadian group I absolutely love:
Cowboy Junkies – Sweet Jane http://youtu.be/BHRFZFmEq9o
Well, JoH is no social critic, but it seems that the difference between Gaga and Bieber is that one of them obnoxiously pushes against the the status quo and one of them obnoxiously thrives in it. (Totally unqualified to make that statement, never heard a Bieber song.)
The Sanch, what you said about punting reminds this reader of Leo Kottke's commencement address to the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee. Kottke is a god.

9 for Sweet Jane. Simply haunting.

Here’s a blast from the past, and the first music video I can remember seeing, grade 2 or thereabouts, and a Lit-net appropriate selection:
Conjunction Junction, by the Pedantics (I just made up the group name)

10. They snuck some weird charm into those old Schoolhouse Rock cartoons.

7 out of 10 for humour, and the ability to mimic popular music exactly. :P

Then the song started and I vomited again. 1/10
I didn't vomit to this though. Lucky really - the monitor couldn't take any more.

I like the music production, actually, because of nostalgia, I guess. (I've been listening to the whole thing, but just now caught a glimpse near the end of the vid though, and that's a terrible sight what's going on in that penthouse, even the rest of the band seems to realize...) I don't know the song, but I'd give a confidential thumbs-up to anyone who felt like they needed to go to the barricades to defend this or that Richard Ashcroft single. Well there's only one I can remember, but THAT can wait for some other entry here (or forever, more likely). I just have a fondness for the sound..., so I had no trouble forgetting about all of this vomiting everyone thinks is so cool recently.Quote:

Really, though, this here observation is what inspired me to go ahead and dig back for the link and do this post:
Well, I recently heard something where they pretty much got the thing right, to my ears:Quote:

Ugh. 6 revisits to a traumatic childhood out of 10 Conway Twittys.

Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there but I wouldn't hold my breath. You wasted life why wouldn't you waste death?
I give it a 7!

Although I thought that was musically unsalvageable and I would never watch it again, I rather enjoyed it while it was happening. And that drummer's possibly very good indeed. 6/10Quote:

The **** did you just do to these ears? The worst rating in the history of this thread/10.

Rock on mah brothah, or in your case, Jacques, mon frère. 9/10 (the video is a little slow though)
How about one of K-Billy’s Super Sounds from the Seventies :
Stealer’s Wheel, Stuck in the Middle with You

After the movie, Reservoir Dogs, I can’t listen to this tune without seeing Mr. Black (Michael Madsen) torturing a cop - Also I get a creepy sense of schadenfreude.
exactly. 8/10.Quote:
