I got an advance copy a couple of months ago for $2.99 and it was worth every penny. Though, I'm not sure I would shell out full price for it.
They will be at The Black Cat on June 5th with Raveonettes and Vue. I wouldn't want to see any of these three bands alone, but together its synergistic.

i might get killed for saying this... but why is it that nirvana ALWAYS wins top songs of the 90s or whatever award is given out. not that i think they dont deserve any recognition, but it gets old when i watch some horrible top 100 show on vh1 and nirvana always wins. it takes the fun out of it.

It does take the suspense out of it.
I think they reserve the #2 spot for surprises. I mean, I like Radio Free Europe, but I don't even think it's the best song on Murmur.
So what would you vote for Paige?

Definition of Verbose - Using or containing a great and usually an excessive number of words; wordy.
Yours had just as many words.

Originally posted by markie:

It's good, if you like Spiritualized. Have only listened to it twice so I'd really rather give it a couple more listens to commit myself.
One of the drawbacks is that there is nothing new. Same hooks, themes, ideas, etc.. Don't know if Jason would be worth listening to if he went in some other direction anyway.
Some of it drags and could use a little more production and some of it really rocks. I think the rockier songs work better except for my favorite song on the album which is called Rated X. That song is very good. Very etherial or dreamy.
The album was put together in only 2 weeks, so hopefully it will be mastered and any weak spots pumped up.
There are a few horns here and there but not loaded with them like the last one was. Let's just hope that he leaves the damned horns home this time around!

LOL! You know, when I looked at the list, I too thought something along the lines of...
...these damned lists are nothing but guidelines for the stations,publications,etc. and their listeners. Music lists for the clueless who need some guidance. In some cases, they are lists for corporations required to present and stick to some format.
I too am sick of seeing Nirvana at the very top of these lists. Maybe it has more to do with the fact that I was never much of a Nirvana fan in the first place. They were okay and I enjoyed them but they were way down, closer to 100, on my list which would include a lot of music often never on anyone's list.

Well starting in reverse, reverse order #1, a clear winner is
The only ones, another girl another planet
Somewhere is Birthday by the sugarcubes
and
Shipbuilding by Robert Wyatt, written by Elvis Costello.
those three never seem to appear on American lists.... The second two oft appear on NME lists though, along with the cocteau twins first single.
Right now Cinerama: health and efficiency is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. I cannot recommend that show highly enough.

did you hear the flip side of birthday, same song with the jesus and mary chain and called christmas, i prefer it because im fond of great scottish things........

Back (way back) in the day, when HFS was a good radio station, Another Girl used to get a fair amount of spins.
Weasel is on 94.7 now. Perhaps you could request it.

I love that song! Use to play it all time back around 1980. Along with some Robert Wyatt and Matching Mole....among lots of others, both on and off lists.
-
I had not heard another girl another planet till one of my friends got it on a punk compilation when I was 20.....
So its cool you got to hear it on the radio.
As for Marquee Moon, well if it is the longest 8 song album its probably also the finest....

I'm not too sure about the radio play but wouldn't be surprised to find out that they played it. HFS was actually cool back then but I never bothered with them until WGTB was forced off the air in January of either '80 or '81.
I too found the song on a compilation album that I had then. Wonder if it is the same one?

I think it was this:
http://www.clickmusic.co.uk/Clickmusic_Web_Guide/Styles/Rock/Punk/Reviews/ (http://www.clickmusic.co.uk/Clickmusic_Web_Guide/Styles/Rock/Punk/Reviews/)
Sounds familiar, it was a not very punk compilation....
although I think it had the members sound of the suburbs on, which is a cracking pop song.
Oh and now I am listening to New Order: movement.
I always find new order albums hard work.

Hummmm.....not too sure about that. Can't find mine online. It's possible that that is the same one but reissued or just a different cover. Keep in mind, back then, no one had even ever heard of The Cure, let alone most of the others on the album. I don't remember The Ramones being on it though but I haven't listened to it for years and am not too sure.

Just listened to Another Girl Another Planet, is it just me or does it sound like it could be off an Ash album
-
There are probably 1000's of punk compilation CDs out there... I have never bought one, but I have enjoyed listening to other peoples.
talking of punk.....
Now I am listening to: New York Dolls
how it influenced Morrissey is way beyond me.

Only 1977, I think girl from mars owes it a debt. Still there was about 15 years between the two songs.
Where did you listen to it Jadetree?

It was much later than '81 that they played it on HFS. I think it was a favorite of Weasel's.

It was much later than '81 that they played it on HFS. I think it was a favorite of Weasel's. [/b]
Maybe so. Was never a big HFS fan but did listen. There were so many good stations in the area at the time. Boy, do I miss those days!
By looking at the list on your link, I now recognize the title of my album:
Permanent Wave: Collection of Tomorrow's Favorites by Today [77]
The year sounds much closer too. I was thinking that it was the late 70s but wasn't sure. I think mine was a promo that was given to me at the time. The album is half good. One of those that I would skip around on, and I rarely do that.

Well I thought that it had appeared on a lot more compilations than that..... But the power of GGW and allmusic has won once again.

I thought that is what compilations were for....
A good way of getting a good copy of songs by bands that only had a couple of good songs.... (handy before the download age)
Steve harley the cockney rebel's come up and see me (make me smile) is a good example. Incidentally the wedding present did a fantastic cover of that song. The lead singer of the Wedding Present is going to be intown soon with his current band, CINERAMA.
Why dont we all go?

I figured you for the London Punkharmonic version, I bet it took somebody many long seconds of deliberation before they came up with that name. :roll:

Greg Kihn -- The Pride of Charm City......
We had broken up for good just an hour before,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing 'cross the floor.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And then the band slowed the tempo, and the music gets you down.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
It was the same old song, with a melancholy sound.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
-
I still have not gone to allmusic, but the song GGW just posted was funny enough......
Slobberbone vs Cinerama....
I band I know almost nothing of, or one thats main mamber I have seen five times live already and own almost all of his albums...... let me think about that one.

Greg Khin had sort of a Ryan Adams sound but no good stories. Even lamer, actually. Ryan rocks more. He tended to play to the dull yuppie set who thought they were hip but wouldn't know hip if smoothered in it. He was much more popular in DC than in Baltimore. In fact, I don't even remember him ever playing any dates in Baltimore. I'm sure there were a few but we never heard of him playing the circut....thank God!

We'd been living together for a million years,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
But now it feels so strange out of the atmospheres.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And then the jukebox plays a song I used to know.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
And now I'm staring at the bodies as they're dancing so slow.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
They don't write 'em like that anymore.
They don't write 'em like that anymore.
Mmmm, now ?
I wind up staring at an empty glass
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
Cause it's so easy to say that you'll forget your past.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah.
They don't write 'em like that anymore.
No, they just don't write 'em like that anymore.
Oh, they don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't, no they don't, no no, uh-uh,
They just don't write 'em like that anymore.
They just don't...(fades)

I was joking, but you make a good point, you have had enough of Gedge, time to see something else.

The only thing that gave away the fact that he might be a bit dodgy was the album titles series of puns.....
Citizen Kihn indeed.

Sorry Jadetree, when I find something I like I tend to stick with it, besides you are just not my type. I prefer blondes.

Hey, I was around then. I know. Unfortunately, he is from Baltimore but it was the Georgetown set who adopted him. Suckers!

"A southern rock opera about growing up in the south in the 70's, the rise and fall of arena rock, the mythology surrounding the band Lynyrd Skynyrd, and common misconceptions about the south."
And then some. Yeah, it's really that good.

This is the song Misfit (http://server1.sxsw.com/audio/sxsw03/mp3hi/Elefant-Misfit.mp3) but the song Sunlight Makes Me Paranoid is even better.
BTW, they sound nothing at all like Phish....not in the least.

So I held off on buying it for some unknown reason. Then realized I was being ridiculous and bought it today. And the verdict is? I really like it! I think the songs will be excellent live -if we ever get to see them, of course...
