I <3 Harry Nilsson. After spending a week indoors I left the house today. I like, sometimes, doing things alone. Wandering around aimlessly downtown alone. Trying not to spend any money I came to the realization If if you're trying to save money that in a way going to antique stores is like going to museums but for free. Museums of junk. But still. I overhear a Nilsson song and come home and listen to more Nilsson and it's the perfect soundtrack for an odd Saturday in the day in the life.

but most people who reads about techniques in guitar magazines care more about speed, difficulty, and complexity not necessarily musicality and "nice sounding" phrases. or creativity, even

This perfectly encapsulates why I couldn't give a flying fuck about those magazines or those sort of people. Unlike most here I've never even played guitar so I don't really know what I'm talking about. I just like what I like.

David Gilmour is a good example of a great guitarist who can do both though. Take his beautiful, slower playing on a song like Fearless, or Cymbaline. Gorgeous and perfect. But he can also shred, like on Sheep, which is probably my favourite solo of his.

How is this even a question? Have you watched television before? Start with Season 1 Episode 1 and fucking watch the show like it was meant to be watched. Is that a difficult concept? A good "starting point"? Ummm how about when the show started? Jesus fucking Christ. Ridiculous. What's a good point to dive in?!? Hahahahahhahahaha.

This gets less and less funny every time man. Nice.

surprisingly Gilmour is pretty respected among guitar community. not that they can be as great as he can be, but......

I love Gilmour as a guitarist, but I'm starting to realize that he is best as an accent player. He's damn tasteful on songs like Shine On, and though he can play some excellent solos, I appreciate him most in atmospheric mode. That might be why I liked The Endless River more than most.

 

[Mack_Again]

yeah have you heard newest new Dream Theater album? that's like opposite of tasty guitar

I wasn't trying to be funny. Fuck you.

 

[martha]

The wine wore off and I bought the ticket to Dungen on a school night in May anyway.

 

[Danny Boy]

Hey, this Eleanor Fried Burger album is pretty tasty.

 

[david]

It's weird to think that at one time in the 90s Jeff Buckley existed and "graced" us with his talents.

I've decided to finally try to get into Sonic Youth. Better late than never. What are the albums would you all recommend starting out with ?

Daydream Nation. that's only Sonic Youth record I happen to love.

 

[LemonMelon]

Daydream Nation (their widely accepted peak)
Goo (some necessary singles on this one)
Murray Street (a little warmer and more accessible, but still expansive and fresh)

 

[Mack_Again]

I feel like i should listen to Diamond Sea. or is that bad choice?

 

[david]

What the hell happened to Death Cab For Cutie after Plans? I actually liked Plans.

After Daydream Nation, of course.

That's a great choice.

 

[liamcool]

EVOL is also very good as a starter album - the first side of that album is especially strong.

 

[Mack_Again]

That's a great choice.

thanx.

 

[Mack_Again]

I'd ask you this: was there really a time when Dream Theater was listenable? question from yesterday

 

[Axver]

Early nineties, Images & Words and Awake.

 

[IWasBored]

I'm telling you, we need a part 2. Re-tell that story from the side of the NOMACS. Let them tell their tale!

holy shit that sounds like fucking fantastic idea. ironically.

 

[Mack_Again]

look at all of this: we're saying it was disgusting garbage but these people are praising those prog album. I don't know what to believe.

 

[IWasBored]

There are people out there praising the "story" as involved and complex. I'm beginning to doubt these people have ever read anything more complicated than the back of a cereal box.

 

[cobl04]

Fucking hell that Dan Deacon album was underrated. I love it so much

I'm not going to trust the guy that looks like he could be a member of the band.
