yeah! you know it too - just come clean, we won't gloat

You do know about the sicko bastard-bullies that run riot and destroy the good parts of this board for the normal members, don't you? Obviously not. If you did, you wouldn't be asking that, surely!

Your Farm's Next by Pikey Bill & The Didicoy Boys

well that's subjective!

i like them all, apart from turn! turn! turn! - there's something about that album, and especially that song which i don't like (apart from Satisfied Mind and Oh Susannah - they're good tracks)

i was going to say - "no, we'll have to agree that you agree with me" , but i won't rubbish; not even picasso would give a man (or is it a black candle) 5 fingers on one hand and only 4 on the other! and that other thing has got 6 god damn toes on one of his feet!

yeah, i know what you meant, but that doesn't make it true. these things really aren't that subjective, or at least they should only be concidered subjective amongst the people who know most about it.

meaning that some people are BETTER at telling what is better than other people.

einstein's theory of relativity means nothing to the average person. the way in which your computer works means nothing to the average person. people walk past buildings every day and drive in cars, but don't know how they stand up and move. just because these things go unnoticed, it doesn't mean they don't have an influence on us all. the same thing goes for music. the velvet underground don't mean anything to the average person, but their influence on the music which does mean something to the average person (by this, i'm talking about sales - cos just because someone owns something doesn

apparently stan lee is going to be making citizen kane into a comic book soon, although it's not being started until next summer (they're not to keen on the original script from the film - that whole "rosebud" thing is just superfluous, let's face it) and will take about 4 years in production - he's going to begin by making it in pen and ink - whilst they've also developed this state of the art computer effect to do a lot of the art work which lee can't be arsed to spend time doing himself - but i'm sure the pen and ink are gonna pull out before completion and he'll have to draft in some crayo

i really liked get behind me satan, but eveything after that hasn't worked for me. i think that album had a really great sound to it, but for all he goes on about analogue recording and bad mp3 rips - the production and arrangements on all his new songs is shockingly bad.

i've had a quick skip through the raconteurs new one, and it's pretty rubbish. it's got all the things i didn't like about the last white stripes album. i think jack white done shot his wad. has he forgotten how to write counter melodies? does everything have to follow the guitar line always? these are some of the questions i'll be asking jack in my head at 8.00pm this evening: channel 7 - don't miss it.

but self-titled is so boring!

check out their myspace page: here and then listen to white winter hymnal and then and then you'll see that fleet foxes are the future. (well, not the future, but they're good - kind of old sounding actually.)

what is the fleet foxes album actually called? is it ragged wood, fleet foxes, or (as i thought) netherlandish proverbs? anyone have any solid facts on this?

have you heard this ? NP. that

i'm liking all of these, so far: el guincho - alegranza neon neon - stainless style howlin' rain - magnificent fiend animal collective - water curses beach house - devotion fleet foxes - netherlandish proverbs hello, blue roses - the portrait is finished etc...

So, what you're saying is - he didn't inhale.

That's ok - do you sing it like that old Wilco live version?

That's not the same study he was talking about. It was undertaken in 1993 by Hirschfeld, not in 2003 by Axelrod and Hammond. Plus it's 30 pages long (well 17 and then index) and I can't read all that - especially as it's not the same study. You're right about missing the point - mainly cos there isn't one to hit.

It shows what you said, but it does not show any reason why that is the case, which would be the thing which would make the findings valid. Therefore there is nothing proved - it's far too floored to be even concidered as scientific evidence. And, that scientist is saying they are logical isn't he? Not that they aren't. Otherwise the results would be evenly spread. Maybe if he'd chosen a black child without an arm in a policeman's uniform (and the black man had both his arms) and then the results came up the same, then he'd have a point. They wouldn't though - everyone knows that kids are inhe

Mark Buchanan says: Oh my fucking life! The only thing out of those three things that would definately be the same from child to adult would be the skin colour, surely? Fat people can get thin, policemen can stop being policemen, but the black skin is difficult to change. Unless you have that Michael Jackson thing. That experiment proves that the scientist is an idiot - the results should show that, by the age of 3, children are intelligent enough to distinguish which of those 3 things is a non-variable throughout a persons life - therefore linking a black child with a black adult is the on

I seem to remember something mentioned about how the footage didn't make it seem like there was an audience, and thus it didn't seem live enough. So what they did was (and here's the clever bit!) remove all the film part of it, and made it just into a cd. On cd that audience really comes alive. I think that's the official word. Either that, or John got pissed that he looks like he's taking his jacket on and off repeatedly throughout the song. I personally think that they had a falling out with the director, cos that Kicking TV footage looks a million times better than any of the live stuff on

i think he's actually got 4 solo albums (the third one is the "the american dream" album i was talking about and then "farewell to paradise" is fourth and final) - i've actually got "Daisy-Fresh From Hawthorne, California" which includes his first solo album and then the best of Mirror & Farewell on cd - but it's expensive to buy now, I think that's all I really need from him. His self-titled and The American Dream are actually my personal favourites anyway. Did anyone mention Badly Drawn Boy's first album in this thread? I'm pretty sure that was home-made.
