doo doo doo doo...

It's a dull day too!

Time to wash it away with a nice, warm dose of shoegazing. Catherine Wheel.

I've woken up with Here Comes The fuckin' Sun stuck in my head.

It's a long and lonely winter

Awesome. You told me to remind you what songs you seemed to like. I think you particularly enjoyed Even Less, Don't Hate Me, Baby Dream In Cellophane, Stranger By The Minute, and Tinto Brass.

My personal favourites are Even Less, Piano Lessons (my favourite PT song full stop), Pure Narcotic, This Is No Rehearsal, Stranger By The Minute, and A Smart Kid. Though A Smart Kid took forever to grow on me and I still hate the title.

Ah, we have a Stupid Dream listener. Excellent.

My personal faves are Even Less (which is probably my favorite PT song, or at least in the top 3), Piano Lessons, Pure Narcotic...wait, see a pattern here?

I would be AB's biggest fan if it didn't sound so shitty. It's a GREAT set of songs, but I like being able to hear what's going on, if at all possible.

I think they had enough songs from that session that were good. It needed a few swap outs, overhauled production, and a change in the tracklisting. It would be in the top two if done correctly, for me.

At least we can agree on this! I think Slave Called Shiver deserves a nod too. Colin Edwin abso-fucking-lutely rocks the bass on that one.

Based on the live versions, I agree. Ultraviolet is a fucking anthem live, but on the album it just sounds like a U2-ish pop song.

Every song on this thing can pretty much get a nod, really. The only one I tend to skip at times is Tinto Brass.

Usually U2 attempts to do things better live, but with Achtung baby, you can just tell it was bad production. Most of it is core parts of the songs that shine through live and are muddled out in the studio.

Ultraviolet Live
Ultraviolet Studio ... average

I usually skip the last few minutes of Don't Hate Me. I think it would have been better as a more concise song.

Also, it's a shame the full Even Less didn't make the album, as I love the second half of it.

 

[phillyfan26]

I don't like the last couple of minutes of the album Even Less. That kind of dragged on.

How's the second half compare?

Agreed. That would have kicked ass.

HOLY SHIT MOM HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!?!

SHE SAT A BOX OF DVDS ON TOP OF MY BOX OF VINYLS!

She destroyed the casing of Hotel California!

 

[bono_212]

btw, i'm listening to a Tom Petty album right now, as I've been meaning to do so for over a week now, but then I'll listen to the TP album

 

[Axver]

How's the second half compare?

It's rockin' and expansive, and adds a couple of verses of lyrics. I'm quite fond of the "fuck you and your book too/you can have it back/when I'm gone, these songs will be my tracks" verse.

What PT album are you giving a listen?

 

[phanan]

Yeah, on the album version, it goes into that counting thing, which just goes for a bit and that's it.

On the original version, it also goes into a quiet section (without the counting) but then starts to slowly build up in a crescendo of drums before SW comes in and goes nuts for a bit. After a while of this it finally gets back to the way it started for the last verses, which are fantastic.

I love it. All 14 plus minutes of it, or however long the thing is.

 

[bono_212]

Oh God, I forgot the name
*checks*

Long After Dark


So Far I've heard (In order of preference):
Full Moon Fever
Southern Accents
Wildflowers
Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)

I think after TP and PT giggle: ) I'll listen to Damn The Torpedoes

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm anticipating Axver sending me that 14 minute version via e-mail.

 

[Axver]

Phanan, have you ever found the demo version of Even Less with the ... rather blasphemous chorus?

Context, Ashley. This is primarily a Porcupine Tree discussion right now. That's what he meant.

I'm dyslexic only not really

I didn't think you cared about Tom so I was rather shocked by your question in the first place XD

PT album is Stupid Dream

 

[Axver]

Just catching up, and ...

Usually.

HEART'S DELIGHT!

Baaahahahaha, that's the funniest street sign I've ever seen. GG, never stop posting in here.

 

[phanan]

Phanan, have you ever found the demo version of Even Less with the ... rather blasphemous chorus?

No, I've never heard it. I haven't exactly been looking, though.

pfan, the full version of Even Less is on the compilation Recordings. Did you ever download that one?

 

[Axver]

I'm anticipating Axver sending me that 14 minute version via e-mail.

Is that a hint?

 

[Angela Harlem]

are dildo and heart's delight neighbouring towns, then?

 

[Angela Harlem]

and hello, planktons

 

[phanan]

Is that a hint?

Or, to make things easier, I'll whip out another blog. I can't find the one from way back when, but this one seems to have everything also, including the Recordings disc.

Metal Discography: Porcupine Tree

Go nuts.

 

[phanan]

Apparently. They go well together, don't you think?

 

[Axver]

Anna, good morni- afternoon!
