Next week on Khan's boob-posting....

I'm all set to ask Prom Girl to prom officially tomorrow.

Everyone went to B&C.

Axver, holy shit, I just heard PT's version of The Cross. Wow, that is mindblowing.

I never took the time to download the Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape album of rarities, as I had heard a couple of the songs and wasn't impressed. But The Cross is worth the download alone, and another song that is standing out for me is Mute. Great stuff.

Yes.

Axver, if you're still doing the Mass "Get Everyone into PT"-Day, chalk me on that list, please.

YLB:

I know Axver was looking into sending some people PT albums, but here's a blog where you can get all of them if you wish (I'm assuming the links work - note that the password is bunalti.com).

http://bigrock666.blogspot.com/2008/04/full-discography-porcupine-tree.html

Now this discography lists everything, included compilations, singles, EPs, early demos, etc. For now, if you're new to PT, stick to the regular albums, which are:

On The Sunday Of Life
Up The Downstair
The Sky Moves Sideways
Signify

Stupid Dream
Lightbulb Sun
Recordings

In Absentia
Deadwing
Fear Of A Blank Planet

I've separated them into three groups, as PT have gone through three phases in their career.

The first group is more ambient and experimental, and at times sounds like Pink Floyd (see The Sky Moves Sideways).

The second group is probably their most accessible, as they streamlined their songs for a more rock sound.

The third group goes a bit further, incorporating progressive metal into their music.

So choose the group that you think you'd find most interesting first.

My pick for the first group would be The Sky Moves Sideways, for the second it's Stupid Dream, and for the third, well, take your pick. Any one of them would work.

And I just downloaded a PT rarities album (the one I just posted about) from that blog, and it worked just fine, so go nuts people.

 

[LMP]

Wow, thanks P-funk.

The concept behind this blog blows me away.

Good job finding it.

omg i love ssb

So, some guy who works overnight where I work left his cds in the backroom. So I'm ripping some of them while I work--Dark Side of the Moon, The Wall, and Mothership (the Zep greatest hits).

 

[the tourist]

This thread's kinda dead.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

heh.

 

[the tourist]

Heh indeed.

 

[the tourist]

Kind of a dead forum at the moment.

Jackpot.

 

[the tourist]

Jackpot.

No kidding. I guess I could've taken a bunch of Def Leppard and Motley Crue and 80s hair bands (with 6 random Britney Spears albums mixed in).... But that's kind of a waste of hard-drive space if you ask me.

I honestly think that album cracked my top five ever. Superb.

 

[the tourist]

I've heard it once, a long time ago.

 

[the tourist]

I'll probably listen to that one first (tomorrow).

Is Def Leppard's Hysteria in there? That's a great album IMO.

 

[the tourist]

I really didn't look close enough. I like my hair-bands few and far-between.

Very dead. Undeclared voting is idiocy. I wish the mods would change the format so anyone could look and see who voted for what.

I am listening to Agaetis Byrjun now. () I fell asleep to last night. That's no indication of it being boring, just what I put on at 4am - but I can't judge. I like Takk, you should check it out

 

[Varitek]

so is ian ahead of me? or just really close?

 

[Varitek]

i'm way too lazy to check, so i'll just post a little while i wait for my 2am engagement, so i can pad or catch up.
