Interference Random Music Talk Part IV: Avoiding KNIFE CRIME for One More Sequel

[phanan]

I didn't get it right away because the original sale price sucked, only a couple of bucks off.

But then about a month or so later, it was on sale for $19.99. I snagged it then.

 

[lazarus]

Reckoning doesn't really excite me, but I wouldn't mind hearing that live show on disc 2.

And I haven't bought the Murmur thing either.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

So I randomly decided to listen to The Downward Spiral today... It's not as good as I remember, still interesting but not nearly as earth shattering as my 17-year old self used to think, go figure.

It's listenable enough, but Trent Reznor is one of the worst lyricists of all time, so I can't stand much else by NIN.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

lol, he's not a terrible lyricist but his voice isn't the greatest... I just find from Spiral onward he’s basically written the same thing over and over again…

I'm listening to Dirt now by Alice In Chains - another one of my favourites when I was younger - it's aged better than Spiral but it still doesn't sound as awesome as when I was in high school...

getting older kind of sucks sometimes...

The Downward Spiral is the shit.

Mr. Self Destruct is a fucking killer track. And there's a handful of other great ones on there, too. The singles...March of the Pigs, Closer, and Hurt (Hurt was a single, right? I know the other two were) are especially great off the top of my head.

Musically I still think it's an amazing album, I love the recurring notes he uses in several songs.

The Becoming is still as good a song as I remember, in fact, I found myself enjoying the second half more now whereas I used to like the first half more...

Jar Of Flies still sounds good, though.

The 90s album that aged better than any other:

true, I stopped paying attention to them after Jar Of Flies

Did anyone ever buy the Murmur reissue?

I finally have seen it in a few stores over the last couple months, but it's friggin' $30. I only want the second disc as I'm wary of a remaster, so I keep passing on it.

Yep, I think it's worth it for the live disc, but if you can only find it for $30, that's pretty ridiculous. I also think they did a pretty good job with the remaster, still not as clear as the original vinyl mastering, but it's far less muddy than the original CD version.

I bought that album for $1 back in elementary school. It was quite a hefty purchase for a ten year old, but I never regretted it.

Not that there was much after that anyway.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

there was that album with the 3-legged dog on the cover - I don't remember liking anything I heard off of that... Their Unplugged album was one of the better ones I thought...

Apart from Heaven Beside You and Over Now, there wasn't much else to remember it by.

 

[corianderstem]

The only Alice In Chains songs I like are Would? (which I just love) and Man In the Box.

Dead junkie or no, Staley could sure wail.

Meg White is getting married, I no longer have anything to live for.

 

[impy13]

If it makes you feel any better, I never really thought you had much to begin with.

 

[martha]

Meg White is getting married

Will this help her get over that anxiety thing? And will they freaking tour now please??

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It looks like they won't be touring in '09 at all, at the very least. I read an interview the other day and Jack was talking about touring with The Dead Weather through most of the rest of this year.

I have a feeling that the Stripes' big comeback will be in 2010.

 

[phillyfan26]

A few guys I know are going to see a small little festival thing down in Philly in a few weeks. The headliner? The Roots. So, yeah, I'm bummed I'm not going but it's not a huge deal or anything. Then I find out ... one of the support acts? TV on the Radio. Fuck those lucky bastards.

 

[martha]

Fuck those lucky bastards.

Indeed. The Roots are very very good live.


How did you like the OC?

 

[phillyfan26]

The OC was pretty chill, though I was really only in Anaheim. I also got to experience LA for a day, which included a few hours on the boardwalk at Venice Beach. That was the first time in my life I experienced culture shock.

 

[impy13]

The OC

Don't call it that.


In other news, St. Vincent is so great.

The resident of SoCal called it the OC, I figured I had permission.

 

[impy13]

If I may take off my pants and pull my analrapist stocking over my head, I think residents of SoCal may be suffering from what we in the soft-sciences call "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder", or the "The O.C. Disorder."

 

[LMP]

Don't call it that.

 

[phillyfan26]

Let's just settle down and relax with a nice sing-along:

YouTube - Phantom Planet - California

 

[u2popmofo]

That's such a great song, I always hated that they had to use it for that show. Same with Remy Zero's 'Save Me'. For some reason Massive Attack's 'Teardrop' on House doesn't bother me as much though.
