ha ha. yeah, actually, i bet it's brilliant.

it's digusting that charity albums are nearly always shit, and dylan is refusing to buck the trend. he could have released Together Through Life for charity . . . actually, no - that was shit too. ok he could have released half of Modern Times for charity. yeah, . . . that's better. edit. anyone got a link to the leak (i'm a charity case - just so's ya know)

ooops. i called his acoustic guitar pick-ups "those bastard pick-ups he uses on stage". actually he must have stopped reading anything i wrote after that post, cos the next few posts were a discussion about listening to music on headphones & speakers - and the differences in doing so. i think what i said after that was all fair enough. I actually think he's upset with Solace, not me!

"they are playing all the RIGHT notes . . . just not necessarily in the RIGHT order!" although missing out AGIB is mental.

oh, so it turns out jeff actually would like to go to his studio after all. where is the thread anyway?

ha ha. mericless diatribe. i never claimed to work in a studio! don't know where he got that from?

yeah. looking at that list actually makes me want to go out and kill some music, it's that shonky. "fetch me my ukulele!"

ah, but not in the uk. so, there! . . . maybe if they'd mixed it in mono

i think they went in the studio in the down-time between the beatles sessions of sgt. pepper. or maybe i just made that all up.

"i've seen it jumping up and down in the racks at hmv! . . . . don't give me all that!"

alright, it's not that bad an album. it just draws attention to itself too much, by being copied, whereas if it hung around at the back somewhere - just doing its thing quietly - i'd not pick on it like this.

yeah. plus it's not very good - the fact that it has been copied is just what sets it apart from something else which is not very good that hasn't been copied, which is why i mentioned it.

these ones are all the joke entries for me. modern times has 3 or 4 good songs, smile is just a poor photocopied image of the original album, raising sand is music for whatever old hippies with beards use for coffee tables, fleet foxes has 3 good songs on it, and is this it has spawned so much shit that it's hard to like anymore. oh, and white blood cells, no. 1? as for no british music. where the fuck are the super furry animals? i thought uncut really liked them, or is that mojo? i forget.

search for it at atease - they have everything. i think the music is pretty good etc . . . but the lyrical content is shit. if you can ignore that - then it's ok.

ouija

that's what i want from a magazine. i know what they like, therefore i like them (cos we like similar things) and therefore when they say something is good - i know i'll think it's good too, something middling and i'll think the same etc.. i'm not necessarily saying that's how i feel about pitchfork - i generally find out what's good from what people say on a few forums (which is probably an indirect pitchfork influence anyway!), but what i'm saying is that what you think is bad , and everyone else seems to think is bad - should actually be the best thing about them.

i think the americans have finally worked out he's not likely to make any good films like he did in the 60s and 70s - they've given him nearly 3 more decades to have a go, and he's failed - so they're haulin' him in!

you're really missing out. you've probably only heard the remix of brimful of asha as well, which is nowhere near as cool as the original. check these out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lT1mzg7eqo&feature=related apart from the super furry animals (who admittedly are actually a lot better) they are one of the few bands that were able to outlive that whole Brit Pop bollocks and still make interesting music

in western society, in the modern age - before that, and still in certain countries today, it's common and one would have to assume as likely to be consensual as anyone older. by the way, i don't know this woman at all - was she in that Beach Boys/Mama's & Papa's kids band? i do really love her dad's first solo album, though!

ah, my work here is done. (unless you're being sarcastic, in which case - shame on you!)

it's very common. actually my nephew went on one only the other week. at the top he was nearly crying, saying "i don't want to do it!" - and at the bottom he said, "again, again!". which is kind of like the song really.

true - i think it's inthe sexual sense, though. it's got that "yeah, i fingered her behind the bike sheds" kind of feel to it - like it meant nothing, and was just done so you could tell your mates. basically, the cheapening of rock n roll. i still find it funny that they managed to get on T4 a few years back and sing Shit repeatedly, by claiming they were saying "the overgrown supership" instead of "supershit" in lessons learned from rocky 1 to rocky 3

just order it from amazon.co.uk - it's not that much for shipping. it really is a great album.

i agree with you about the beats being heavy metal - they are too fancy and complicated for punk. but, i still think the rest of it is punk rather than metal myself. it's because i like the mono version - which is more harsh and in your face. you all have to understand that my situation is the opposite to all of yours. i've grown up listening to the mono ones, and it's the stereo that are the curios to me - that's all just from a personal point of view. i still also think that there is a very strong case, beyond my personal tastes, to the mono being the definitive versions - and the ones tha
