  2. The fuck that is going on is a result of an evolution since the start of Life millions of centuries ago. I'm quite surprised at the fact that so many people wondering about the "why" aren't more interested in the observation of the Wild Nature (before the Human kind built cities, with which his God has nothing to do), that is the early state of all. If there's a religious act, it's to watch and listen to the wild environment, to observe the Nature, to know more about the life of plants and animals, and to observe the sky and the universe, outside the Earth. In short, the only religious
  3. Sure, I always loved train wrecks, it's part of my culture as well. Here's one of Paris Gare Montparnasse, 1895. A great souvenir.
  4. I personally have already answered this to the previous page. Apparently you don't mind having a discussion, or answering relevant points? I repeat: what is the logic of thinking there is a creator because there's a creation? Your creator is what, exactly? A creation, too? Who created the creator? Why a creation couldn't be self-created? Doesn't it sound obvious to you that God is just something the man conceived for the only reason he doesn't find answers to questions which are beyond his perceptive faculties? And isn't it obvious to you that so far, only science brougth answers to ou
  5. Yes, and I like them less. I prefer The Sunlandic Twins, and Hissing Fauna.
  6. I haven't listened to this new record, but listened to all the previous ones, and only liked The Sunlandic Twins so far. Hissing Fauna was already too much all over the place to me. If you look for hooks, The Sunlandic Twins is the real gem, imo.
  7. I have no idea why there is a dislike of "Pieholden Suite" (there is??), since it's my fave song of Summerteeth, and giving the fact it's my fave Wilco album, it's my fave Wilco song. Why? Well, because of the music. There are three gems in one song here, and it's more perfectly done than anything McCartney could do on Abbey Road. Thinking about it, only John Lennon succeeded - with stuff like "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" and "I Am the Walrus".
  8. I'm afraid Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere won't be correctly remastered to CD before Neil Young's death.
  9. Mark Spencer is one of my favorite guitarists.
  10. There is no logic to think it must be a Creator for everything, otherwise there'll be always that mysticism for wondering about who's the creator of the creator of the creator of the creator... It never ends. So yeah, at some point, something does exist by itself in my opinion, just as an happening or chimical reaction, without creator behind. Life is that thing, as well as the Universe. In my opinion again. The nonsense about God is that it's not clearly defined, so it's like talking about nothing. If you tell me your idea of God is just a space where some chimical reactions happened,
  11. Someone gave me the idea from the M. Ward thread I have several names to mention but will reflect about it edit: you can mention several ones
  12. More exactly, playing an album five times in a row to be sure it makes nothing to you. I guess I don't hate it either. Lately I've been playing all the CDs I hesitate to keep. I need to get space on the shelves. I got nice surprises - some CDs I didn't like much and now like a lot. But mostly, I find more space on the shelves now.
  13. Did you read wikipedia about "atheism"? An excerpt: "It is difficult to quantify the number of atheists in the world. Respondents to religious-belief polls may define "atheism" differently or draw different distinctions between atheism, non-religious beliefs, and non-theistic religious and spiritual beliefs.[97] In addition, people in some regions of the world refrain from reporting themselves as atheists to avoid social stigma, discrimination, and persecution. A 2005 survey published in Encyclop
  14. How d'you find the time to post here, man?
  15. I've played Post-War five times in a row since yesterday, and if you except the first track which is really great ("Poison Cup"), the rest doesn't grab me. It even tends to put me to sleep. I've listened to all the M.Ward records (except a really early one under another name, I think), and there's only one I find great from start to finish: Transistor Radio. But I think I'll buy the one to come, 'cause Lucinda is a guest, and her vocal presence can only add something. Matt played on her new record as well, but I've yet to hear it (the CD is on its way to me).
  16. I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of Sam Cooke's Harlem Square Club (a classic, yes, but often forgotten on these kind of lists). And I'd never heard of The Wrens before.
  17. Here's a review to leave in doubt the most scepticals...
  18. Thanks. I did correct myself above: I meant Easy Beat, not the self titled one (that I listened to last night and enjoyed). I also have We All Belong and will play it again.
  19. I decided to buy this new album since I like the previous ones (especially Easy Beat). How would you compare Fate to the previous albums?
  20. I've bought about twenty CDs released this year. So far Sam Phillips' Don't Do Anything impressed me the most.
  21. That man is eternal. Almost everything is in his eyes. Great screen figure, and great human being.
  22. Looks like you listened to Pink Moon or Bryter Layter. You have to start with Five Leaves Left. I can't imagine anyone being bored by that.
  23. Well, I mentionned her album "A Boot & a Shoe" pretty high in my Top 100, if that ever means something. I'm still wondering how one could dig the Beatles and not Sam Phillips. Her stuff is easily as tuneful, or when it's not, it's delightfully tasty. Her last album sounds like a mix of Martinis & Bikinis and Fan Dance. The sound of the first with the mood of the second. Sam Phillips is very high on my list, I say it again. Her music is subtle, deep and rewarding.
