i've been listening to screwtape's playlist, and supper's ready just came on
Axver said:Yeah, I saw that entry. Lame friends for the fail.
especially lame friends who expect me to have some sort of sympathy for them because they almost got arrested because they were speeding because they were...upset over a boy. umm no sorry.
Axver said:
well i'm only a tenth into the song, but it's not too bad i suppose. i don't think i've heard any peter-era genesis songs before!
dead thread.

Best. Excuse for speeding. Ever.And by best, I mean worst.

It's not worth the time, really. The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway and Selling England By The Pound are truly terrible. I sort of enjoyed Supper's Ready, though.
Haven't listened to any post-Gabriel Genesis because, well, it's Phail Collins!
This is classic: http://forum.interference.com/t185773.html
i know! i was like...wtf. i didn't know what to say because all my responses sounded like something a mother would say. "you're lucky you didn't hit anyone," "you're lucky you didn't get killed" "you're lucky you didn't get arrested," etc.Axver said:

anyway, i'm nearing the end of supper's ready, and it's not bad. just...long.

I would've just said "you're a fucking idiot".I do tell my friends that when they do stupid things. It gets the point across.
I actually felt it went by much quicker than I expected. Felt closer to 12 than 22 minutes long.
oh yeah, it doesn't feel like it's 22 minutes long at all, just longer than the songs i normally listen to. i'm used to listening to songs that are about eight minutes tops. if i had to say how long this song seems, i'd say maybe fifteen minutes?Axver said:

See, eight minutes seems kinda short to me.
I don't think a song is long unless its runtime is past 15 minutes.
So U2 have played a long song twice in their career.
(40 on 31 January 1985 at 16:45 and Bad on ... shit, was it 16 April 1985? Mid-April 1985 anyway, it was 16:16. Might be other performances of Bad in 1985 that pass 15 minutes too; I haven't really checked.)

well i also don't listen to death metal or what have you ugh, yes. i hate the long versions of bad, because the snippetry just gets so ridiculous.

DOES PLEBA CARE!
and where is everyone else? tourist? ian? jen? etc. it's certainly not that i don't mind talking to you, but i'm just surprised none of them are around.
k, i'm moving onto your playlist now, dr. dré.
oh god, more pink floyd
wee, i have this thread all to myself now.

See, short songs kind of bother me. If it's only about four minutes long and I absolutely love it, it ends too soon! I find myself compulsively repeating my favourite short songs for about twenty minutes just to get the same level of enjoyment out of them.And
! Snippetry is what makes things interesting! My least favourites are the hugely long ones that have no snippetry, because Bono's jumped in the crowd or whatever and the band's just continuing to play until he comes back.
