Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow

Yea, I saw that as well. The OK Computer and Kid A one looked pretty good. Too bad for Pablo Honey and no Amnesiac though. You guys will never guess what I am listening to... [hide=] Spillane Spillane. I feel like I just smoked a deck of cigarettes and forgot to blow out the smoke. 8-) Spillane. I put his head where his wallet used to be. I haven't got much different music on the computer, since that it crashed. But I can't get enough of this piece anyway. So it's all good. I've got some more music on the computer now that I have ripped some CD's. But I still can't get enough of this track. :) Here's a documentary about the piece. Some of the music on the background as well. [/hide] Nah. :') #3 Ringing Hand http://allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sq ... fyxqy0ldhe

I'm going to try that Bert Jansch as well. Never heard of him either. 8-)

Andrew Bird - Fitz and the Dizzyspells

Doesn't really matter to me. Most of the time we have over, but it's not like I won't wipe my [wagon] when it's under. Hm. This topic made me wonder how everybody wipes their [wagon] (a much more interesting question if you ask me), and I googled it. /]http://www.randomsalad.com/go/how-to-wipe-your-[wagon]/ :')

Good. :) Curious to what you think of them. Arigatô-san It seemed ages ago that I last seen a Japanese film (a few pinkies excluded). The new Hiroshi Shimizu box released by Criterions little brother Eclipse had to change that. I started with Mr. Thank You. It's about a ride in the bus of Mr. Thank You (they call him that because he's such a carefull driver and he always "Thank you!" after passing you), he's a sort of thing to hang on to in bad times, because he's so friendly and he always helps those in need of help. Anyway, we get a little insight on Japanese culture although that is more below the surface of the movie since Japan was in depression at the time and this movie is pretty joyous on first sight. Some laughs, a little romance and lots of nature (mountains, valleys etc). I also really liked the visuel motif of this movie: shooting from the front of the bus to dissolve into a rear view shot where you see the things you passed getting smaller. It may not be interesting the full length, but it's pretty touching and very relaxing movie.

It's pretty bad in my opinion, but the only Mastodon record I ever liked was Leviathan. Ok. What is it that you don't like about this album (or any of the others)? I always thought they are pretty interesting band (I only heard Leviathan and Blood Mountain), something else than what I am used to, but as said earlier: I don't know much about metal.

Uncle Tupelo, that's Jeff Tweedy (from Wilco), right? Is there something that you can recommen, Pf?

Have you seen this before? I caught it on TV a year or two ago and thought it was excellent. That's the Sinatra film right? If so, it's pretty good I agree. Yea, it's the Sinatra film. I haven't seen it before. I really should though, Preminger is incredible, and Sinatra in a somewhat tougher role, I think. So far the only films I've seen with Sinatra are the musicals and some other stuff. It's interesting, because Dan said (in his 50 albums thread) that he must've needed a stick to get the women away from him, but in the movies I've seen he's no ladies man at all. Often he's very shy and not very good with the women. In the end he always gets away with a woman, but not the one he originally aimed for. I'm sorry, Indy. :P I guess I'm not really a series man. I'm just not very good at watching them, it's probably the length. After a while I just get a little bored with most characters. I should continue watching though. But there's so much to see.

haha, I never thought you would be a sci-fi fan. :lol: haha. But BSG is really good, from what I've seen. Got the first two seasons, but I stopped at the last episode of season one, and never continued watching. : If you want to get into Glass, here's a nice thing to watch click. :)

Rainbow's On Stage is so incredible. I remember that you tipped me on Rainbow a couple of years ago, and I listened to nothing else than the On Stage record. Good stuff. I am surprised that there is no Deep Purple on it though, you used to be a pretty big fan, right? I also expected Dog Man Star insead of the self titled Suede record. Also thumbs up for picking In Utero instead of Nevermind, it would be my Nirvana pick as well. I never heard of the Pretty Things, The Fall and some others, so I've got some new stuff to check out. I kind of hoped Assassin would've picked you, since I was very curious. It was kind of what I hoped for: A list with stuff I knew you liked and also some new things to check out, I always like to try new stuff when you're recommending them.

Glad you did, Range. Yesterday I wanted to see the Man with the Golden Arm, but the first shot after Saul Bass' opening credits reminded me so much of Do the Right Thing that I couldn't get that movie out of my head and I just had to watch it. So I turned off tMwtGA and put on Do the Right Thing. Which is one of my favourite movies, and certainly one of the most important (if not the most important film of the last twenty years). What makes this movie so great is that it is made by an afro-american and you can clearly see this, but at the same time this movie doesn't ram it's ideas down your throat. In fact: it's not very clear what the message is since the movie is in conflict with itself. [bleep]e allows you to think for youself. And that's great.

#9 Eye Shaking King I'm playing this record more and more last weeks. :thumbup:

The compilation album Godard/Spillane is a pretty good start, since it displays his qualities so well. Godard might be a little hard to get into (very good though, especially when you know something about the theme Godard), but Spillane is pretty accessible. John Zorn has done a lot of things, and I haven't heard it all, but some other good things to try are Naked City (check out the debut Naked City this band is very diverse. In a two minute song he can change genre five times, most of the time within seconds. Vocals are for Yamatsuka Eye, whom you might know from Boredoms), Electric Masada (At the Mountains of Madness), and under the name John Zorn the trilogy Moonchild, Astronome, Six Litanies for Heliogabalus. I guess you'd like the last three and Naked City a lot with your metal background. Amon Düül II - Yeti #1 Soap Shop Rock - Flesh Coloured Anti-Aircraft Alarm

nah. :thumbup:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - the Carny Dog-boy, atlas, half-man, the geeks, the hired hands There was not one among them that did not cas an eye behind In the hope that the carny would return to his own kind

While rippin a little live clip in between. I think this is fromt he live DVD I've got. [yt]IYyl78qQPVI[/yt] :thumbup: Good stuff. haha, he's actually siging it wrong. :') Looks you ain't scored in tide a quime. Warren Ellis is pretty good at the end, it's better with Blixa though.

Ripping some of my CD's to the computer now. I figured you can't listen to Spillane 24/7. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Oh my Lord Man, I just love the bass on this song.

Spillane Spillane. I feel like I just smoked a deck of cigarettes and forgot to blow out the smoke. 8-) Spillane. I put his head where his wallet used to be. I haven't got much different music on the computer, since that it crashed. But I can't get enough of this piece anyway. So it's all good. Have you ever tried Zorn's music, Silversword? I think you'd like his stuff. :thumbup: The way he composed this stuff is really something else. First of he chooses a subject. In this case Mickey Spillane. Then he comes up with musical themes for this subject, writes them down on file cards, places the file cards in an order that he thinks is best, writes the music and form it into one big composition. You would think that the result would be like 25 different ideas in one song (or something), but it really feels like a whole.

Called a number from the phone and gave it back. It's the best thing to do. I've got a cell-phone, and why would I give somebody else a lot of trouble when I can prevent it. If the phone wasn't on, or the battery was dead I'd just bring it back to the police station, that way the person that owns the telephone might get it back as well. Last year I found a telephone, turned out to be a police phone. :') Brought it to the police station. A few weeks later I got a voucher for a record store for my help. :)

Chicken Feather, of course. Or Peach.

A Time to Love and a Time to Die I wanted to do a Douglas Sirk double bill yesterday night. First A Time to Love and a Time to Die, followed by Imitation of Life (notice the greatness of both titles!). But I was so incredibly tired that I fell asleep around half past eight. I didn't even have the energy to put the disc in the dvd-player. Around two in the night I woke up, and I felt like I was reborn. So I decided to watch A time to Love and a Time to Die. And I think that after seeing this movie once, it has got to be my favourite Douglas Sirk movie so far. It's so different from things like Written on the Wind, Magnificent Obsession, All That Heaven Allows (again, notice the greatness of all the titles!), and at the same time it isn't. It's a Sirk melodrama set in World War II. So you've got the grim look and the horrors of war (which is not very Sirkian), and within that a German soldier and his love closing their eyes for the world around them trying to escape (very Sirkian). Loving to live and living to love. The sets are brilliant, and so is the love of John Gavin and Liselotte Pulver in this movie. A very moving picture!
