I can deal with them, but I don't see the fascination. It's mind boggling that some people call them music geniuses. :huh

 

Oh God, it's so hard not slamming you into the ground based on your post and sig. So f***ing hard. Truth be told, their newer stuff doesn't interest me that much, but they still kind of made OK Computer. I heard that was okay. Confirm/deny?

considering OK Computer and their completion of the most successful merger of electronic and pop with Kid A i don't think its mind boggling at all.How many good radiohead covers do you hear?

of the new songs I think arpeggi and nude are the best, while bodysnatchers is sounding great to me

 

15 step sounds a little sloppy at the beginning, then it really picks up

 

the first bootlegs of 15 step...especially the first show...i was laughing at how bad it was...but then the next few really impressed me. I agree, i thought the orchestral arpeggi was a little cheesy, but the full band with the drums is really great. And big ideas has always been a fav. of mine. Bodysnatchers i'm iffy on.

Slam away, I never remember calling the Dave Matthews Band music geniuses. Extremely talented yes, music geniuses, not so much.

Of all things, I broke out the Traveling Wilburies this week, and remembered how awesome they were. Defiantely brought the term "superband" to mind.

 

Very cool. Roy Orbison gave that group a twang that they couldnt maintain when he passed away.

One of the few "Supergroups" to also live up to the hype of the people involved.

If you honestly think Sigur Ros is ambient, see them live, if not, you can be an ignoramus somewhere else. Please try and label them ambient after listening to Hjartad Hamast, Ny Batteri or Untitled #8.

 

Brian Eno is ambient, William Basinski is ambient, you're just flat out wrong. I mean, the only apt analogy I can find is like you listened to half of Mogwai's catalog and labeled them quiet. You're so wrong you're unbelivable.

 

 

"Yeah, man, f*** those Icelandic freaks who don't play formulaic rock and roll that's been beat into the ground for the past decade."

 

Yep, that's exactly what I meant.

Whatever you think about Sigur Ros aside (personally I find them completely captivating about 75% of the time, but I'm not sure I'd want to see them live), I think we can safely say Jim DeRogatis has been a douche long before this column. I figured it out when he wouldn't stop worshipping at Courtney Love's jockstrap on his awful Sunday night radio show.

 

A lot of people have that opinion about him, big deal, he's a critic. It doesn't mean he's always wrong. People will love him when they agree with him and call him a moron when they don't.

Yeah, you would think ego or something like that would really make it difficult for the sum of the parts to add up to the whole, but they did it. Incredible stuff.

What probably worked was the fact that the only member I ever heard of in that group that suffered from a rotten ego was Jeff Lynne. But when faced with who he was playing alongside, any ego would be quited I would think. I mean, there you stand next to Roy and George, how can you possibly have an ego with those two in the same studio???

well, it certainly came across that way.

 

>how come people don't talk this way about Greg Kott then. They both work together on Sound Opinions, yet people's opinions of kott are usually they think he's great or a far more gentler dislike. The reason being Kotts write ups are far more thoughtful and less reactionary then Derogatis...and he has a greater ability to write about more genres then Jim D.

 

is anyone gonna try and see The Fall 5/30

You must be a glutton for punishment. I think Mark is way past his prime, they were great in the early 80's around the time of Grotesque and Hex Enduction Hour but they're a bit long in the tooth nowadays.

Not to mention Bob Dylan and Tom Petty...
