Ah. I never got to be post-punk,New Wave/post punk. And no, didn't get a chance, life and new pillows got in the way.
No worries. Just curious.

overall great stuff! though i thought some of the transitions were rough - Tribulations > Ladyflash was bad, among others.
well, give it a shot at least. And do feel free to skip the Green Day song. This goes for anyone else who listens to it after this. Upon further review, it really doesn't fit there or anywhere on this list. I threw it in at the last minute and now I'm regretting it.if reggo's playlist wasn't somehow inverted on my ipod, i'd do that now (i am too lazy to fix it at the moment). i want to hear dark and twisted. on paper it doesn't look nearly as fucked up to me as everyone's been saying, but i don't know every single song on there.
oh yeah transitions are definitely subjective. that just didn't work for me.Ha, it's funny you mention that transition, as it was specifically mentioned as one of the better ones elsewhere. I guess, no matter how much effort I put in, transitions will remain subjective. Personally, I thought that was one of the weaker ones also. That and Kanye > Daft Punk showed me running into walls a bit.

electronic dance music is pretty far up there on the list of things i hate most about the world.
Halfway through the Robert Plant song, I realized was enjoying it quite a bit and didn't know who it was(while I love all of LZ, I haven't heard any of his solo stuff), and was surprised to see it was him.
finished your list BigSimpsonsFan. i give it an
I'm glad that I did not disappoint you, sir. I love your enthusiasm for jazz - if you like, I could definitely give you a list of my favorite jazz albums. It's not that I'm an authority or anything; I'm just always looking for a reason to talk about jazz.
This.can we kill kenny g?
really? Bomac is right, you are very near-sighted at times.
you're telling me that there's nothing out there that you dislike? the guy who called ska a plight on human existence, or some other such ridiculous hyperbole?
I would be equally interested in seeing this list. As of today, rateyourmusic claims I've only heard 18 jazz albums (not counting albums that are clearly jazz-influenced but wind up heading elsewhere), and that's just poor. Brubeck, Coltrane, Mingus, Miles, Guaraldi, Sun Ra and Eric Dolphy are the artists I'm familiar with.
But I can not disagree with you more about "Revolution 9" I felt like that was truly a tying together part of the list, and without it, it wouldn't have worked to the extent that it does.
Also, "Please" fit in marvelously. That was quite a shock.
See, I thought the list had been building up a great, interesting, and involving mood, and Revolution 9 just made me switch off and tune out. Definitely the weakest moment for me, and if the list had just gone straight to Subway Song, it would have been all the better.
Although I don't think you've read me wrong, I'm worried that I worded my post badly, so to clarify re: Please, it didn't stick out like the sore thumb I thought it would, but it did stick out in the sense Ashley describes - that it fit marvellously, far better than expected.
Agree to disagree. I find Revolution 9 so frenetic and creepy that it gave the terrified vibe Reggo wanted so perfectly.
Yeah, no I didn't read you wrong, that's what I meant as well. We good.
like most everyone is saying they don't like slipknot (i don't either, but i have a feeling i'm coming at my dislike of the band from the opposite angle that it's not hardcore enough, it's weak as hell, and there are a million other bands playing heavier, better music. slipknot are the watered-down, radio-friendly version of this. but anyway, not the issue), i haven't really ever been known to like anything that anyone has ever called "dance music." and usually things that are electronic-based turn out to be things that i hate.
but did you read the rest of the paragraph? pretty sure there was something in there about how i really enjoyed a bunch of the songs, and your electronic dance portion of the mix was...oh, how did i put it. i said it was pleasantly relaxing. THAT MEANS I ENJOYED IT.
if i'm close-minded and near-sighted for 1) trying something i normally can't stand and 2) telling everyone that i liked some of it, fine. but you've got some hell of a warped definition of those things, then. stating i'm realizing the more i hear, the less i like lcd soundsystem is close-minded? hate to be the first person to tell you this, but not everyone worships james murphy. disregarding the "more i hear part," which implies that i'm further giving the stuff a try, you're telling me that there's nothing out there that you dislike? the guy who called ska a plight on human existence, or some other such ridiculous hyperbole?
oops. through my blind rage, i thought i was actually replying to you (LM) in the new essay i just wrote. now i see that was the cobbler reiterating mr. bomac's comment.
otherwise i would have just blown it off as a friggin' cobbler moment.
