Looks like I’ve missed a ton of shit since I’ve been gone. Not sure where I stand on the personality front (I haven’t been here long enough) but I’ve always found Grmpy, Peligro and Olsen to be engaging characters.
seriously? I can understand myself [cool] and Peligro being engaging personalities But Olsen doesn’t really show up enough and when he does he’s usually bitching at me (or Connelly this last time) over some imagined slight which quickly turns into real slights based on the idiocy of the imagined ones, which then devolves into long winded rants from both of us. granted he starts it. but that aside I just think based on sheer presence he’d no be engaging simply because he’s absent from class most days. Ya’ follow?
It’s a shame that personalities have to start fires on message boards but there you go.
I suppose I could ignore him but that almost seems disrespectful at this point since this seems to be what he and I do.
Mind Control for Infants is an album by Lotus Eaters… In fact I own that thingy on both cd AND vinyl (the vinyl looked so beautiful I didn’t want to touch it!).
Me too! Although, I bought the vinyl first and did play it cause I didn’t think it existed on CD. So, I only played it once and that was when I ported it over into MP3. I dug it right away.The vinyl was in such beautiful packaging I think I plunked down 35 or 36 bucks for it. and then found the CD for like 4 or 5 bucks on Ebay from Amoeba about 2 or three months later.
Grouper - I have only heard two Grouper tracks, but I liked them enough to warrant further investigation
Peligro hooked me with I’d rather be sleeping and I bought the Album, I think, when I bought the Mind control vinyl. Still my favorite track on the album.
Fennesz - Grmpysmrf I am shocked that you didn’t appreciate the inherent beauty contained with Endless Summer. It is simply transcendental.
I don’t hear it. Sorry. just sounds like computer beeps and feedback manipulations. buzz erk beep beep twish buzzz erp erp. If it makes you feel any better I don’t consider the old dial up modems connecting to the net music either and that’s pretty much what it amounts to in my ear. I might think it was the shit if I was a robot. Sadly not the case.

If it scores me any points, the first time I listened to it all I could think of was 1970’s brooklyn, (I’ve never been there in my life) black children playing in a fire hydrant out in front of their apartments. In my mind a lot of them looked like young Rudy from the Cosby show and that pseudo boyfriend she had that would always spout out sexist crap and then say “that’s what my brother says” Not sure what those noises had to do with black kids from Brooklyn in the 70’s or why those noises are even associated with summer particularly one that never ends
Earth - I love them and I will not stand to hear them derided on this forum or any other. Which Earth album was it anyway, because some are better than others. My favourite is hands down Hex: Or Printing In The Infernal Method. That got me through some tough times. Some tough times it did - sobs - .
Legacy Of Dissolution, Bought specifically because Peligro said the Broadrick remix was HEAVY and I think Broadrick had just scored with me again with Pale Sketches. So, I picked it up at Amoeba based on Peligro and Broadrick and yeah well you heard my run down on it. Very disappointing. Not just for the $$ lost but for the slap in the face that presented itself as music. They may as well have recorded some dude saying “Sucker” over and over again for an hour.
