Latest records I've been listening to:
Cornelius -Sensuous: Great. Weird, but great. Good to see that somebody still remembers the concept of "textures" in music.
Her Space Holiday - Home is Where You Hang Yourself: like floating in amnyotic liquid.
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations: Another hypnotic, psychedelic cd, kind of like the 60's and 70's but still does not sounds retro. Its a 21st century psychodelia and I like it! Syd Garret's Pink Floyd meets U2 meets Pulp sort of thing. Which takes me to the last update for today...
Jarvis c#cker: The leader of Pulp on a solo album. I am listening at it right now, and having mixed feelings about it. For one side, music is great, really different from Pulp. He seems to adevnturo into different styles and does so gracefully but...he sounds too neat, too "clean". No desperate voicings, nothing like "Common People" which is one of my all time favorites.

Yes, I agree with you about Black Holes and Revelations; excellent. As for Pulp, they're finest moment was This Is Hardcore. Musical sleaze. I'm currently listening to The Kinks "We Are The Village Green Preservation Society". Wonderful.

Be sure to hold your c#ck, lest it trip off. Hmmm....where would a c#ck go when tripping off? The pub? Maybe a strip bar? Probably get arrested somewhere and need to be bailed out.

Dunno about Ben but I'm confused! Were these songs written before me and him were born, or am I just ignorant, or both?
Both, probably. About 1970, if that's any help.

Dig that jive, Jack. Put it in your pocket, and don't look back.

Look Ben, the idea with an album like 'Entroducing' is that you enjoy the sum of all its parts. You don't listen to clips and make judgements, the album isn't written to make that form of evaluation fair or justified. It's an album that can be enjoyed socially or in isolation. It covers a spectrum of moods from chill out to hard beats; it's an album for all occasions. It is ironic in places, spiritual and very clever. It uses samples that are relevant to my generation (30 somethings) and yet it caters for the teenager who wants to dance to it. I played it in front of my Grandad at a barbeque and he didn't bat an eye lid because it has the sound of social acceptance over generation spans.
If you do not like it, fair play to you. Why should you like it? Taste is a subjective argument. All i'm trying to suggest, as many are here is that instead of enjoying squirty cream and saying it's great because many people eat it, that you try double cream and take a bit of time to enjoy the subtle virtues and differences. This will sound patronising now, but often you will not appreciate the finer things in life until you get a little older and life gains more perspective. I remember the joy my father used to glean from sitting up to his dining room table on a sunday morning, eating his cooked breakfast and looking out into his garden at the birds feeding. 'What a bore' i used to think but now i find myself enjoying similar simple pleasures.
I think it important too for you to appreciate the root cause of so many peoples dislike for band like Girls Aloud. The girls can sing, they have sold plenty of CD's they are great to look at and they have a big following but they represent a small part of everything wrong with society today. They are throw away; they aren't here to stay because they are not significant, they don't improve or move the game on atall and the public grow more fickle by the day. We want the next big thing and we want it now. It wasn't always like this Ben. Bands were able to have an album that bombed and then come back. It made them what they were, it DEFINED them. These days bands are deliberately conceived to make huge ammounts of money quickly and are then destroyed when the next new band some along. There is something very wrong with that and that is why i despise them and the industry they feed.
Music is an ART. It should be protected and nurtured and not flogged to death for commercial means. People who have a true and deep appreciation of music understand this. Try and look at it this way Ben and you may begin to appreciate better music on a deeper level.
That's the last i'll say on the subject.

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"
Chris Cameron-Dow
"One might be tempted to say Ferrari are inconsistent this year. I think the opposite.
They are having one very good race followed by one very poor race. Consistently."

Well, I know you are not dumb but you can't understand why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said "dear boy I'm gonna make you a man"
It's a very nice song. I'm listening to it now!
Can I ask the more antique members of the forum, do you think popular music has become more offensive/controversial/dangerous today or not? It interests me because a lot of imho talented modern artists are criticised for this, but there are plenty of controversially themed songs like this from the old days too.
To be a willing slave of a loving God's commands,
That's the key to a freedom that I'll never understand.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.
--Mark Twain (1835-1910)
