I vomited all over the computer screen before the song began.

It was the:
"I've worked really hard to get where I am. I've been all over the world to find myself....I love you all..." blah blah blah. Yeah - doesn't know what work is.

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.

So, 7.5/10.

Really, though, this here observation is what inspired me to go ahead and dig back for the link and do this post:

...

The other problem was a tendency towards the apparently arbitrary. Any kind of art - but particularly music - ought to convince you that that's exactly the way it goes, and if it didn't go that way, it wouldn't be what it is.

When you listen to prog rock and you hear tiddley-bonk-tiddle, biddle-whack, biddle-whack-whack, you can't help thinking, "Well, that's alright, but there seems to be no real reason why it could not just as easily have been tiddley-tiddle-bonk, whack-biddlewhack, bonkity-bonk-whack."

Well, I recently heard something where they pretty much got the thing right, to my ears:

I really liked that song. . .nice progression, musicianship. . . .

I'm in the mood for somethin' from my roots. If you don't like twang, consider yourself warned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xxCM...eature=related

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. 6/10

I seem to remember that this works best if you're lying on the floor with your head between the speakers and a spliff in your hand. If you want to skip the Bleep'n'Booster bit, the proper music starts as about 3:15.

[Jack of Hearts]

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

EDIT: If you're high, is it like watching TV?

EDIT EDIT: Ugh, it's like piping synth straight into your head!

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.

In the comments one contributor says, "Someone please inform Bruce Springsteen that his playbook has been stolen." And you can see the point. That sounds like someone who listens to a lot of Bruce but whose own writing lacks the authority, the joy and the sheer vein-popping conviction of Bruce's stuff. 4/10


...all I could say was 'Ouch!'....

Oh, hell yeah! 9/10

Also, I thought a Steely Dan was a lady's appliance.

Anyhow, here’s a local gal from around where I live:

I don’t know, man. E.C. is one of the greats. He’s even a guitar genius by some estimates, but he gives me the creeps. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s because people around him keep dying. And that’s not fair, I know, but I just can’t separate the man from the music in his case.
