Thanks, but I know what fucking trip-hop is, and I know what I'm talking about. Tried listening to the track? I didn't say the whole album was like that, it's not, that and Butcher Blues are the ones with the trip-hop leanings.Fuck that. Trip-hop=Portishead/Massive Attack/Amon Tobin. Kasabian are fucking pop at best.
Although i'll give Processed Beats a thumbs up for trying.
And anyway, what Jack says goes.
Jack: Butcher Blues and Running Battle definately have trip-hop leanings at the very least.

hahahahahahahahaI know what I'm talking about.
anyway i have no idea what trip-hop is nor do i have any idea what a Kasabian is so thats that.
also Music Has the Right to Children is a fucking awesome album, I lost it a while back though, but its no big loss because it was a burned copy. -

Oh Spoonie! You're such a fountain of musical knowledge/righteousness! The amount of assumed authority you exert upon this forum is fucking inspirational, man - it gives me an erection larger than you've seen since your dad's sex education lesson when you were five. (Yes, that's right, three mighty inches)anyway i have no idea what trip-hop is nor do i have any idea what a Kasabian is so thats that.
I'm impressed, I really am. I mean, you have to be some sort of fucking musical scholar to create a favourite albums list THIS fucking radical and diverse:
I mean, shit, man. It's just intimidating, is all. You remind me of my hipster sister, who used to play AFI every fucking day, in between other truly awesome bands like Staind and Green Day. Then she turned fourteen and lost all interest for some reason.1. Radiohead - Kid A
2. Tool - Lateralus
3. Radiohead - Amnesiac
4. Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights
5. And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes
6. Tool - Aenema
7. AFI - Sing the Sorrow
8. Gruvis Malt - With the Spirit of a Traffic Jam
9. Gorillaz - Gorillaz
10. System of a Down - Toxicity
11. Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf
12. Incubus - Make Yourself
13. Ash - Free All Angels
14. Lostprophets - The Fake Sound of Progress
15. Coldplay - Parachutes
Yo-.. You're just such a role-model, man. The way you define yourself through what you listen to in order to make up for your personality deficits and spiritual emptiness is just.. Brilliant. I wish one day to be the same way, so people won't see me as the jizzed-upon tabula rasa I truly am.
[I'm so alone all of the time.]
I hate myself for not knowing about such obscure avante-garde free-jazz musicians as these Boards of Canada you speak so highly of, I really do. I do know, though, that Canada is home to many fine bands, such as Rush, Nickelback, and the people's favourite, The Arcade Fire (any band who has Napoleon Dynomite in it kicks ass).
Your musical superiority is to be expected, though. Must be genetic, or some shit, considering your father's taste in music is even better than your own. Because The Marshall Mathers LP is the pinnacle of street philosophy, just ask Special Ed.
It's okay to not know what trip-hop is. Small unknown genre like that, who could blame you? I mean, shit, what the fuck is a "Mezzanine", anyway? Or a Maxinqueer, for that matter?
Tell me, Spoonie, do you spend your nights alone in your room, thinking of happier times, times back before the divorce that cut you in half, taking tearful comfort in the unparalleled genius of Eisley?
It's okay. It's okay. I understand. You can cry, now. Come, sit on my lap.
*drops pants*
Anyway. I'm now listening to.
Sea
Codeine
The White Birch
One of my favourite songs ever. Up there with such masterpieces as Burn, Baby Burn by Ash and Linkin Bizkit's masterful Rollins.
Oh, and Mantis? Amon Tobin is not trip-hop. Drum-n-bass, dude.
Snippets:
So I read this one interview with Merzbow, and he claimed that he was influnced by King Crimson. I FUCKING KNEW IT! I bet Robert Fripp is dead proud of himself. A shame that he's not just dead period. That last Fripp & Eno blew harder than Spoonie's mother ever could (I'll never get those five dollars back
).
While we're on the subject of shameless whores: Cave-In got dropped by RCA and are back at Hydra Head, presumably making proper music again. Hooray! Let's hope Brodsky doesn't give Aaron Turner some sort of metaphorical commercial STD, AM I RITE?
Speaking of Hydra Head, Justin Broadrick released the best album of this year (yes, my son, I can see the future) under the guise of Jesu. So In the immortal words of P. Diddy, Antichrist: "Buy it or die." Especially if you're a shoegaze fan. Die, that is.
Did you catch that Mogwai reference? Good. It was a lame attempt to seague right into my plugging of the DEVASTATING 18 minute version of Like Herod found on Government Sessions. It's the third best track you will ever hear in your miserable excuse for a life, regardless of the fact that the original, Young Team version is a dull Slint imitation. Download it here (after 25 downloads, though, this link is dead - so click only if you want to be brought closer to God through soul-destroying, ear-shredding aural catharsis. In other words: Stay away, Spoonie.).
Hey, look! I'm now listening to:
Shadow Journal
Max Richter
The Blue Notebooks
Notice how this is considerably better than Franz Ferdinand's Matinee? Something for Spoonie to think about.
Speaking of which. Franz Ferdinand and the Red House Painters both have songs called Take Me Out and Michael. What's up with that? Still, I find Mark Kozelek's distaste for modern trash-TV thrillers endearing:
"24 keeps breathing in my face like a mad whore"
Kiefer Sutherland would be distraught.
That's all for now.
Tater, laters.

My goodness. Interestingly enough: don't drive around to Max Richter. Last night we did, and his music synched up perfectly to EVERYTHING! The beats synched with the windshield wipers, and flashing of signal lights. The strings swelled as we sped up, disappered when we stopped, got really fucking creepy when we got lost, etc.
Futhermore, both me and my mother saw, and heard, people who looked, and sounded, and dressed, and acted, exactly like Eisley's Weston and (dad) Boyd at the Apple store, which would be scary enough, but made even more scary by the fact that they were buying the exact same thing we were, and the "real" ones were in Atlanta at the time.
Fucking fucked.
Oh, and that bird sample is way, way, way, way, to realistic over a car stereo too... let's not get into that though, okay? -

It was probably them. I'd almost guarantee it was them. maybe their calendar is off or something.Futhermore, both me and my mother saw, and heard, people who looked, and sounded, and dressed, and acted, exactly like Eisley's Weston and (dad) Boyd at the Apple store, which would be scary enough, but made even more scary by the fact that they were buying the exact same thing we were, and the "real" ones were in Atlanta at the time.
at any rate, that Boyd guy is a creepy fellow. would not want to meet him.
also, what I said about Eisley being really good considering its straight pop...upon further review, it is really good for straight pop, but straight pop is straight pop and that record lost its luster in no time.
now the Slip. there's a band people should listen to. Fans of Bloc Party, Bright Eyes, and Talib Kweli would definitely like The Slip.
