No Depression and Harp Magazines
hardwood floor replied to CortezTheKiller's topic in Someone Else's Song
just a fucking shame depressing as hell i don't know what the hell kind of society we've become where there's no room for a magazine as routinely brilliant as No Depression then i see kids walking around or sitting in restaurants and coffee shops staring like fucking zombies at their cell phones and waiting to be told by corporate america what faceless piece of shit MP3 to download next and i guess i understand it sickens me what we're becoming i'll miss No Depression, but more than that, I'll miss a world where a magazine like that can thrive -
A Thread for Musical Blasphemy you Truly Believe
hardwood floor replied to hardwood floor's topic in Someone Else's Song
Patti Smith is a total no-talent who has parlayed bad poetry, dirty hair and a fluke song co-written by bruce springsteen into legendary status Patty Smythe > Patti Smith Berton Averre's guitar solo in My Sharona is better than anything Jimi Hendrix ever played I wish Bono would just fucking shut up I would rather have major dental work than sit through a Dave Matthews Band gig Clap your Hands Say Yeah blows The Kinks > The Who -

people have been gradually re-upping stuff it looks like two of the Wilco DVD Project (volumes 40 & 41) have been posted, and both have several seeders right now hopefully, many of the ones that were previously up will slowly reappear.

OK ... Big Star is overrated Led Zeppelin never wrote a good song Bon Jovi's first single, Runaway, is actually a pretty good song I find the Monkees' music far more interesting these days than the Beatles' Grant Hart's Husker Du stuff overall is better than Bob Mould's REO Speedwagon > Jeff Buckley The Doors are the worst band in the history of popular music I liked Wilco more before Nels

i mean, good for him for admitting his music sucks, but i'm baffled that somebody would record and release music that they have so much contempt for that they admit they wouldn't listen to it

ya know, it's a good question to me, the name of a band has always mattered if you can't think of anything more clever than, say, limp bizkit, there's no way your stuff is worth listening to by the same token, when i see a record by a band i've never heard and the name blows me away, i'm buying it. 7 Mary 3 may be awesome, but i'll be damned if i'm ever buying anything they put out
-
I might love these guys if I listened to them, but Le Loup might be the worst band name I've ever heard.

hey, i dig reading what ya'all are listening to but if the album art (or image properties) doesn't say what it is, could you write it out? thanks

hardwood floor replied to hardwood floor's topic in Someone Else's Song
doesn't come close to my top 5 either, but i love it 1. Teenage FBI -- great little pop tune 2. Zoo Pie -- meh 3. Things I Will Keep -- all-time top-20 gbv track with phenomenal gillard solo 4. Hold on Hope -- don't hate it like most gbv fanatics. live version was awesome 5. In Stitches -- meh 6. Dragons Awake! -- again, live version totally better than flat studio version. cool song 7. Surgical Focus -- all-time top-20 gbv track 8. Optical Hopscotch -- meh 9. Mushroom Art -- meh 10. Much Better Mr. Buckles -- fairly cool track 11. Wormhole -- decent track 12. Strumpet Eye -- i dig it 13. -

5 Favorite Albums by Guided By Voices
hardwood floor replied to hardwood floor's topic in Someone Else's Song
god, i couldn't agree more brianjeremy ... nothing since FaCE has blown me away. he really started losing me at normal happiness and it's just gotten progressively worse ... but as much as i'd like to blame todd tobias for the rut bob's in, i think the big thing is he just isn't writing good songs anymore (with occasional exceptions like Supernatural Car Lover or Miles under the Skin) the psycho and the birds record is awful sgt. disco is unlistenable standard gargoyle decisions might be the worst record ever made coast to coast i thought was OK but just OK hope he gets it back toget -
