hey i also ramble, have bad hair and cant play guitar to save myself !

But you don't ramble pointlessly for 10 minutes before One.

And in, what, 48 or so years on this planet, I don't think Bono has once had a good haircut.

in my @# years I think I've only had one good haircut. . . . . .and it sure as hell isn't right now.

I do ramble aimlessly on occasion

 

[Alisaura]

oh noooo, the telly's doing some spontaneous update thing. It's never done that before

Ours just did that too!! Freaked me RIGHT out. Thought Edge's family was coming to invade the planet...

 

[Axver]

Now, I've never had a good haircut and I ramble all the fucking time, but at least I never had a mullet.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Yeah, I downloaded Mezcal Head. I could upload it for you if you like. I've really enjoyed it, just a couple of tracks to go now. It isn't really that shoegazey in comparison to other stuff I know, but still rather good.

I'll track down some Telescopes then. I really badly want more shoegaze, so I'm open to any recommendations.

Incidentally, I've never understood why Loveless is worshipped as the ultimate shoegazer album. Nowhere fucking destroys it on every level.

Oh, if you could upload it that'd be awesome. I need something good to listen to and analyse tonight.

Loveless took ages to grow on me. For a long time the only songs I really liked were Sometimes and When You Sleep. Then I started liking I Only Said and Soon... and Only Shallow, and then the rest of the album opened up. I think it's a very complete album, in fact I think it's more of a single song than 11 tracks. I treat it very differently to Nowhere, and like both of them sort of equally, but in different ways. Mainly, I just love that those sounds could come out of a guitar! Shoegaze in all of its forms was so important in the early 90s - whereas most other rock groups were doing the same old shit in that time, rehashing the 70s and late 60s mainly, the shoegazer movement was incredibly fresh in comparison.

Of course, now a lot of bands today are rehashing shoegaze sounds from that period. The circle of life lives on!

Do you like Catherine Wheel? They had the heavier sound going.

Aw, you don't like the cute little JT ponytail?

phew, i thought we hadn't paid a bill or something. . . .and then it turned itself off and scared the crap out of me with that stupid static noise

I had a mullet. . . . . . . . . . . . . and the only guitar I can play is the Wiggles one where you just press the buttons

We both dove for the mute button...

[Cin]

you made that list very quickly for someone that doesn't care

 

[Axver]

*notices you don't evaluate your guitar skillz*

Because the phailure of my guitar skills cannot be accurately summed up in mere words.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I think this cut was okay.

If you didn't give a shit, you wouldn't have wasted the neurons on making a list

Also, you forgot the Dead Skunk Era and the Roosterhead Era.

 

[The Sad Punk]

Hang on I think I accidentally posted a picture of a female secretary that works at Optus.

Wouldn't that actually prove my point? A PLEBAn who does care would probably spend hours agonising over it, breaking it down by tour, tour leg, concert, and even main set vs encore. "Well, the main set was Cowboy Bogan Era, but in the encore, it was more Exhausted Cowboy Era with just a hint of bogan ..."

I think he's spent enough time watching U2 bootlegs to have a vague idea of what Bono has looked like.

That's the spirit we want in Phail

... do I even want to know about those two eras?

oh no, we're much too busy looking at neck sweat and tight pants to bother with that much detail

 

[The Sad Punk]

Bono really, really did look like a sleazy creep in 1994.

Once again, too much thought going into this for an alleged non-PLEBAn.

yes, yes it is

I'm not disputing that, and I'm not disputing his list...
