The Music Thread Strikes Back

Reminds me of Donington when the put Extreme on after Slayer. All these 14 year old knicker wetters running down the front straight into the Slayer hordes. Carnage.

Lest we forget, preceeded by Pantera & Sepultura!

I remember that day well....kinda!

That V festival is seriously messed up. Not a cat in hells chance...
 
Arguing that V is better than Glastonbury is like arguing that Tomaz Frankowski was better than Steve Bull.

This year's V line up is just hilarious. Absolutely dreadful. Yet loads of my mates are insisting that it's a decent line up. Erm - it really isn't.
 
I love Blues music, so thought I'd share this fucking ACE email someone just sent me:

If you are new to Blues music, or like it but never really understood the
whys and wherefores, here are some very fundamental rules:

1. Most Blues begin with: "Woke up this morning..."

2. "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, "I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town."

3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes sort of: "Got a good woman with the meanest
face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher and she weigh 500 pound."

4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch...ain't no way out.

5. Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs, or Sport Utility Vehicles. Most Blues transportation is a Greyhound bus or a southbound train. Jet aircraft and state-sponsored motor pools ain't even in the running. Walkin' plays a major part in the Blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.

6. Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.

7. Blues can take place in New York City but not in Hawaii or anywhere in Canada. Hard times in Minneapolis or Seattle is probably just clinical depression. Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City are still the best places to have the Blues. You cannot have the Blues in any place that don't get rain.

8. A man with male pattern baldness ain't the Blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is. Breaking your leg 'cause you were skiing is not the Blues. Breaking your leg 'cause a alligator be chomping on it is.

9. You can't have no Blues in an office or a shopping mall. The lighting is wrong. Go outside to the parking lot or sit by the dumpster.

10. Good places for the Blues:

a. highway
b. jailhouse
c. empty bed
d. bottom of a whiskey glass

11. Bad places for the Blues:

a. Nordstrom's
b. gallery openings
c. Ivy League institutions
d. golf courses

12. No one will believe it's the Blues if you wear a suit, 'less you happen to be an old person, and you slept in it.

13. Do you have the right to sing the Blues? Yes, if:

a. you older than dirt
b. you blind
c. you shot a man in Memphis
d. you can't be satisfied

No, if:

a. you have all your teeth
b. you were once blind but now can see
c. the man in Memphis lived
d. you have a 401K or trust fund

14. Blues is not a matter of color. It's a matter of bad luck. Tiger Woods cannot sing the Blues. Sonny Liston could have. Ugly white people also got a leg up on the Blues.

15. If you ask for water and your darlin' give you gasoline, it's the Blues.

Other acceptable Blues beverages are:

a. cheap wine
b. whiskey or bourbon
c. muddy water
d. black coffee

The following are NOT Blues beverages:

a. Perrier
b. Chardonnay
c. Snapple
d. Slim Fast

16. If death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So are the electric chair, substance abuse and dying lonely on a broken-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.

17. Some Blues names for women:

a. Sadie
b. Big Mama
c. Bessie
d. Fat River Dumpling

18. Some Blues names for men:

a. Joe
b. Willie
c. Little Willie
d. Big Willie

19. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Jennifer, Debbie, and Heather can't sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.

20. Blues Name Starter Kit:

a. name of physical infirmity (Blind, Cripple, Lame, etc.)
b. first name (see above) plus name of fruit (Lemon, Lime, Kiwi, etc.)
c. last name of President (Jefferson, Johnson, Fillmore, etc.)

For example: Blind Lime Jefferson, Pegleg Lemon Johnson or Cripple Kiwi Fillmore, etc. (Well, maybe not "Kiwi.")

Watched a film tonight a group called The Boxing Rebellion did a lot of the music. Anybody know anything about them?

They've recently release an album called The Cold Still. Playing Birmingham on Wednesday night.
 
The new Mogwai album is complete fucking :headbang: with a little bit of :windmilling: and just a soupson of :smarmy:

Highly, fucking highly recommended.
 
New Elbow album is out. And I have my copy. So excited! Will report back after I've listened to it.
 
Build A Rocket Boys - well I have to say that on the first listen, it's good but not in the same class as Seldom Seen Kid. The Birds (opening track which is 8 minutes long) is lovely, as is Lippy Kids. But it doesn't grip me quite as much as SSK, nor indeed Cast of Thousands or Leaders of the Free World.

Still, it could be a 'grower'. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I didn't enjoy it - far from it. I always say it helps to hear tracks live, which I will be doing 2 weeks tomorrow - cannot wait.

Any Bowie fans?

I've been a fan since 1972. Love the bloke! Wish he'd come out of retirement and surprise us, again. He was always at least three steps ahead of everyone else. Makes Elton look like a heavyweight boxer.
My favourites are....
'Wild Is The Wind'
'Amsterdam'
'All The Madmen'
'I'm Deranged'
'Soul Love'
'Life On Mars'
'Cracked Actor'

Fantastic. Did you ever see him, North-West?

Only the once mate (I'm only 29) but I am so glad I did. Great selection too by the way. I adore Five Years, Moonage Daydream, Always Crashing In The Same Car, Station To Station, Cracked Actor - the list goes on! I can't see him ever coming back now though. How about you?

Yeah. I really liked lippy kids when I heard it. I'm really undecided on whether to buy this or not.

I think One Day Like This is one of the best songs I've ever heard. However I find everything else by Elbow a bit boring (ducks for cover from Langdale)
 
Anyone else listened to the Beady Eye album?

I've had it on in the car for the last couple of days, growing on me more with every listen.

Not yet but as I love Liam (despite the fact that he's a dick) I'm sure I will soon enough.

I wonder if Noel will actually bother with a solo career? Doesn't exactly need the money, seems to me like he's happy enough watching Citeh and living with his family.
 
Any hip-hop fans on here? Not the modern shite that's around today, Tribe Called Quest, The Pharcyde, Rakim etc etc

Had a couple of listens and didn't think it was that bad. I think The Roller is a great song.

Wish I'd picked up tickets to see them at the Civic, they are going for stupid money on Ebay.
