Fripp. Is. God.

The guy's such an inspiration to me as a guitarist...he's a fucking FREAK.

And I've only heard his work with my God, D. Bowie, and one of his minions, Brian E.

His work with God catches him in between his "340 notes a second" phase and his "let's play some 80s pop" phase....

So yeah, not TOTALLY representative. XD

 

[cobl04]

my GOD there's an intimidating amount of music I want.

If only I had an endless supply of JB HiFi vouchers...

 

[Axver]

So no 5th, 4th and in between ones?

I've been using some 19th fret harmonics too. Haven't really touched 4th ... 5th I've tried, but I just don't find them that crisp. Maybe I'm just not good at them.

 

[Axver]

Well...well...*can't think of a comeback*

Nah, tried them, found them insufferably boring. May go back at some point, doubt it.

Hah, good, glad I'm not the only one who thinks they're dull ... everybody else who knows them seems to think fairly well of them!

And now you know at least part of how I feel when I listen to The Smiths.

Well, here's a taster of Crim.

One note about them: THEY CHANGE EVERY SINGLE ALBUM. THIS IS BY NO MEANS REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER CRIMSON. It's off the Discipline album and as such is from that sound. They didn't have a stable lineup until their ninth album, so...

YouTube - King Crimson - Sheltering Sky (1982)

I haz arrived again! With completed homework.

 

[cobl04]

that.. was pretty cool.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I believe Bonnie once called it something like floppy-haired Englishmen making their guitars sound like dying elephants.

I didn't mean that in a bad way, though!

I don't think Loveless is the best shoegaze album but I still love it and think that it's maybe the most essential to the sound, not necessarily in being the greatest, but just because it shows what the sound is like better than any other album, MBV or otherwise, IMO.

Did you just get your mind blown or something?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Ahem ...

I didn't mean it in a bad way then either!

I'd still introduce people to shoegaze via Nowhere. It's a great representation of the sound too, and perhaps the only thing Loveless represents more is the indistinct vocals (but then again, MBV did take the indistinct vocals to an extreme that the likes of Ride, Slowdive, Kitchens Of Distinction, and especially Swervedriver never went).

I mean, Seagull's wall of sound just makes anything on Loveless look pissweak.

 

[Axver]

Ahem ...

Here's $10. Go gaze at your shoes buy Nowhere or something.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

So i'm not welcome here anymore.

 

[cobl04]

Did you just get your mind blown or something?

i wouldn't say that, no, but i was glued to it.

should one of their albums be $10, i'll be back here in a few days to talk about it.

for now, i'm off, watching either bathurst highlight dvds from the past 40 years, sound relief, or how i met your mother.

goodnight one, goodnight all.

Hi Vlad. Go look at the picture I finished a few pages back.

 

[liamcool]

God yes, a new Crimsonite.

Uh...hi guys?

Vlad, I recommended music a while back, go and get some.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Hi Vlad. Go look at the picture I finished a few pages back.

Okay, I will, i'm predicting that I will be surprised at the result.

God yes, a new Crimsonite.

Uh...hi guys?

Vlad, I recommended music a while back, go and get some.

You recommended music ... for me?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

RE: Bonnie's picture.

You drew that? I was aware that you had some skilled artistic talent so I wasn't surprised to see something that fantastic, and professional.

 

[Axver]

Ooh yes, I need to buy that Sound Relief DVD ... : lazy and stingy :

 

[liamcool]

You recommended music ... for me?

I recommended music for people. Are you one of those?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I don't know.

Thanks Vlad, glad you liked it.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Thanks Vlad, glad you liked it.

[liamcool]

[liamcool]

Hey, I'm recommending albums for people. Your choice whether to get them or not.

 

[Axver]

The Cure - Faith

This x1,000.

Maybe sometime later. School has returned for me, but thanks.

 

[Axver]

The more I listen to Wavering Radiant, the more I think Isis have released one of the albums of 2009, and possibly their defining album. Fuck Panopticon, all its awesomeness notwithstanding.
