cheers




ive got an 18th in two weeks. very much looking forward to that.

so am i , so will you be rocking out wezza corey style ???

 

[the tourist]

No. Not all albinos have pink/red eyes. Mine are pale blue.

Aww, that's too bad.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Yes, it was. I have loads of U2, but I rarely listen to it. Generally listening to their music pisses me off, because the songwriting is excellent pre-2000. But the mixing generally sucks so hardcore that it ruins it for me. That's why I'm really loving that they're remastering it.

Man, you reminded me how much Under a Blood Red Sky sounds like shit. I'm listening to Trans-Europe Express and it has fucking better mixing.

haiku of the year from No spoken whales


Original Haiku:

Screwtape you are pure
Don't take this the wrong way, but
please go fuck yourself

This still seriously cracks me up. I think New South Wales is going to have a hard time topping that one.

1990-2000 for me

mine is better than yours.

Well, we'll get the 3 (arguably best mixed) remasters in May at least!

Axver can besiege its flow all he wants, but to me it fucking flows. (doesn't know what Axver feels about its flow )

I think Zooropa may be my least favorite pre-2000 album.

[Canadiens1131]

Too easy.

Best Of 1980-1990? It's alright. Never play it these days though, I prefer proper albums.

Also, anything is better than U2 18's shocking flow.

flow = stock album criticism by axver

Glad to be a classification. Personally, all three of those are very important to me (as I generally agree with Axver's assessments of flow). Though Peterrrrrrrrr's vocal taste is kinda screwy if he likes Bono's current voice better than 80s Bono.

 

[Canadiens1131]

Oh, thank you,
Varitek.


GOD I HATE PETERRR.

For some reason Pride and New Year's Day seem destined to be coupled together like that, though.

 

[the tourist]

Oh, Ian, on my break earlier I had Reese's Peanut Butter cups and I thought you should know!

 

[Axver]

Yeah, it's a good opening duo.

SBS --> Bad is a bit weird though.

 

[the tourist]

Oh, thank you,
Varitek.


GOD I HATE PETERRR.

No seriously. Listen to his voice on the "eee" in She's A Mystery To Me at 3:31 from 6/1/buttfuck.

I think it works though. I'm just getting to SBS right now.

I just like all the others better, though War might be close but it was my original album that caught me so I'm reluctant to let go of it.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Stay, fucking brilliant. I also love TW, TFT, DD, Zooropa, Lemon and Numb. I really don't care much for the other songs on it.

I guess if you averaged how much I like a song, Stay's amazingness would bring the album up, but as a whole not so much.

No, i shouldn't have.


Can you post some to me?

 

[coolian2]

No seriously. Listen to his voice on the "eee" in She's A Mystery To Me at 3:31 from 6/1/buttfuck.

Don't forget his voice from 12/12/12 in West Fuckyou during the soundcheck. It might sound like static, but check out how he holds that psssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssh note.
