can't really defend hendrix on that point, though

"At one point" being a year and a half ago.

Danzig really cememted my realization that metal was retarded, mostly by refusing to sing about anything other than Satan and his super best pals. Not that Danzig's solo work generally sucking shit had something to do with it!

Come to think of it, I stopped liking metal at the same time I realized Pink Floyd sucked a prolapsed anus, this cannot be anything but the rapid onset of maturity trying to purge myself of faggotry as I become a manly man

Deep Purple's still neat, though. There must be a scientific explanation for how they've got a keyboard in nearly every song but avoid being gay.

[Aaarg]

no offense but you have a trout mask replica image in your signature.

safe as milk is awesome. trout mask replica is garbage, and i don't care how many big-name people think it's something great.

but yeah. metal sucks and pink floyd mostly sucks (fuck off, meddle is great) and glenn danzig is glenn fucking danzig.

i checked in on him to see what he's doing, after making a joke about black aria iii. turns out he's working on black aria iii. fuck. i was joking, for fuck's sake! also he's working on a new album, apparently with the help of hank williams iii.

music is shit.

Trout Mask Replica's first half is sorta shitty, but from China Pig onward it's pretty good. Even after multiple listenings I've failed to hear what it's trying to come together as; usually that'll happen with confusing double albums after I've dismissed them as generally mediocre. It's definitely not my favorite Beefheart album, I just like the cover art, Sugar n' Spikes, and Veteran's Day Poppy a whole lot.

Bat Chain Puller, on the other hand, is a fucking mad good album. Probably one of my all-time favorites, definitely the best thing Beefheart ever did. Safe as Milk is good, too. I like that all the alternate Strictly Personal songs on the bonus edition are better than the ones they ended up releasing.

IT'S THE BLIMP, FRANK, IT'S THE BLIMP!

WHEN I SEE YA FLOATIN' DOWN THE GUTTER, I'LL GIVE YA A BOTTLE'A WINE!

[Fathom Zero]

I'm getting back into Pink Floyd. I listened to it way too much when I was 12/13 or so. Same thing with Led Zeppelin.





Electric Wizard is so badass.

a sustained, simplistic, and lingering blues influence paired with a raw, gritty style and good riff work, plus a large number of unrecognized classics like stormbringer, lady double dealer, speed king, and black night will keep your interest for a little while until you suddenly "get over it", briefly become interested in EXTREMELY seventies-period white druggie blues like tommy bolin's private eyes album and atomic rooster's Death Walks Behind You, at which point you will either to continue to fixate on blues/rock and end up with a love of contemporary blues-(ish) artists like Jackie Green and, possibly Clutch if you also veer into Thin Lizzy/lynyrd skynyrd/molly hatchet territory; or you will enact a personal rebellion and reject the blues harder than a Pat boone fan hating on thelonius monk and further develop your love for shit contemporary like the White Stripes, Modest Mouse, and Coldplay, possibly stumbling onto decent Art-pop bands like Trotsky icepick and pride yourself on "discovering" them

ugh douchechills

[Guitar Woman]

I like music that sounds good quit hating

I don't like claiming to discover bands, usually I "start listening" to them

I mean, I've probably said I've discovered a band before, but I submit that it's asinine

That's like how Colombus said he discovered America despite the fact that people were there already

[Grislygus]

Eminem, Lady Gaga, and country music fans also expect us to believe them when they say that

[Fathom Zero]

I've really discovered a few guys, especially DJs that are making it kinda sorta big lately. It's weird when you hear some really epic sounds and see that they've only been played only a hundred other times.

QUIT HATING, GUYS

Temporarily back on topic I'm actually backing up Aarg's choice at the moment, he's gotten me hooked

[Aaarg]

john fahey? awesome, the dude was great.

dance of death and other plantation favorites is probably my favorite album of his, so check that out if you aren't familiar (even if only for the title track). also, "dry bones in the valley" is an awesome song on an otherwise... different album. it's on an album that has a few guitar duets and then a few songs with a "dixieland jug band" (though the songs they do are good, just... different).


also, currently really enjoying:

Yeah, adding to the content of a post rather than directly changing anything deserves to be called attention to, I just can't get my story straight

My favorite album of every moment...since it came out when I was in highschool...

This album is solid, but there's something about Eno that makes me really tired of listening to his albums even if I've only heard it twice (Taking Tiger Mountain, Before and After Science). Here Comes the Warm Jets is my favorite, but there's dozens of other albums I'd pick over it.

The guitar solo on Baby's On Fire is orgasmic, though

[Aaarg]

I only know that one and Taking Tiger Mountain, and I like both of them.

I'm trying not to get too much of his stuff, I'm trying to stick with the old ones so I don't ruin his image in my mind. It's why I refuse to listen to much more Elvis Costello than I already have, haha.

[Esuohlim]

I went through an Elvis Costello phase that ended pretty quickly after it started
