I always kind of liked that first single that came on t.v. here in europe, One Step Closer. It was kind of hard, and well, it was catchy. In the end was alright as well. But I kind of grew over them, which is what most people will do.

I was at "Tera Gotha" yesterdaynight, to see Birthday Massacre, and that was quiete an interesting experience, since I've never been to such a concert before. There were a lot of weirdos, but there also was a little record stand where I bought: Mask

Oh, man! The album Unknown Pleasures was amazing, I knew that already but the remastered audio gives the spacey sound an entirely new dimension. And that live CD in the same package (The Fabric live July 13 '79) is amazing as well. It has got a really authentic sound that almost drops you back to where it was happening nearly 30 years ago! A MUST for the fans! :shock:

Climb out of your window and slide down trough the tree. They did that in the fifties, and Christina Milian still does it. From am to pm.

Isn't he just being himveryrandomself?

You're getting funnier by the day... :|

There's a pretty nice sale going on at amazon.com. The franchise collection DVD's by universal are on sale. They were relatively cheap already ($27 for five films) but they're not on for half the price. So I decided to go for the Marlene Dietrich collection (which includes some great early 30s Sternberg/Dietrich movies and the Jimmy Stewart Collection (yes! Another two Anthony Mann movies I can see!). And my Joy Division CD from earlier this thread came in. Guess what I'll be doing tonight. :)

Yea, I just read about it on another forum. Don't know the band, but always a sad thing to see young musicians go.

The "grandpa" in case is 77 years old. So, I wouldn't too much of a problem out of it. :P

That's alright. Nevermind, not the right thing to do.

As long as the world keeps turning there is news for the tip.it'ers to share on the off topic forum.

You just don't get it do you. It is about the fact that people are just carelessly consuming, you don't pick what you like with care, you just want to have everything, so it's as easy as possible (and YES the MP3 player deffinitly has got something to do with that). Greedy, that's how I call it. Stand still for a moment for the things that you have, and choose something with care. People are constantly listening to everything, because they can. And just because you can doesn't mean that it's a smart thing to do. What does something in the arts mean when you are CONSTANTLY using it, nothing, right? That's what it is about.

Yea, I also dont't really know why I'm arguing this. Everybody here only thinks about "more more more more", and always need to be supplied with everything they want when they want it. Moderation, it's something that few here seem to understand.

Yes, spoiled. Movies aren't meant to be watched on a screen that isn't just 5 by 5. in centimentres And with the music spoiled that means that you are spoiled when you've always got 2000 songs with you to choose from, and when you pack a discman you take two or three CD's at most and then you're learning to value what you've got and how it is made, not when you just brainlessly go from #42 to #1837. Besides, why is it neccesary to always have all your music with you. It's sad when you're on the street and you see all those zombies with something in their ears just walking a bit. You know, you don't always have to listen to music, it's nice to communicate with other people as well.

It's not kind of dumb. It's very smart; I'm giving him advice to get something better that he hadn't thgought of yet. By your logic all those people recommending a Zen are doing something kind of dumb as well, since he asked about I-pod. A CD player isn't 'large', you're just spoiled with your tiny music boxes. I always took and still take my discman around and I never had any problems putting it away. People had discmans to listen to music "on a go" as well, you know.

What an annoying folk.

My advice would be to get a nice discman. One like this: I've had it for nearly 10 years now (although it's not the exact same model) and it stll works perfect. With the money you save you can buy a good pair of headphones and then you still save a lot. Besides, anybody heard of an I-pod that lasted longer than five years? And not to mention that it will make you a better person. It will learn you to appreciate what you have, instead of mass consuming your music like a fat and greedy piggy.

No, far from it. Sorry. Mine has changed to: Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Ry Cooder Lou Reed/Velvet Underground Steely Dan Talking Heads

I just used the Dutch word, didn't know the English version, but you all knew what I was talking about. How cool is that.

Go to a dietist.

My favorite band is called Open Your Eyes. http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=701720

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Papa won't leave you Henry fragment lyrics. I went out walking the other day The wind hung wet around my neck My head it rung with screams and groans From the night I spent amongst her bones I passed beside the mission house Where that mad old buzzard, the reverend, Shrieked and flapped about life after your dead Well, I thought about my friend, Michel How they rolled him in linoleum And shot him in the neck A bloody halo, like a think-bubble Circling his head And I bellowed at the firmament Looks like the rains are hear to stay And the rain pissed down upon me And washed me all away

If you're really my friend, you'll sit trough Andy Warhol's Empire for me.

You can check out My Name is Buddy anytime. It's sort of surreal experimental country album about a cat on a journey trough America in the thirties. The CD is a wonderfull package with the album of course, and then a wonderfull booklet giving introductions to the stories of the songs and of course lyrics, giving some great sketches of the cat and what he encounters on his journey. But with ChÃÆÃâÃâávez Ravine things are a little bit different. It's about the Mexican community that lived there in the 40s/early 50s (the Dodger stadium is there now), but that had to part of L.A. was completely distructed so that the stadium could be build. This record tells the story, but is also an homage to the place because it is so dear to Ry. There's a wide variety of styles used on the album, everything based on what was played at that time on that place. Most of the musicians on this album are also rooted from L.A. But that also brings that a lot of the songs are in Spanish, so unless you speak spanish you won't be getting the essence of it when you're downloading it. But when you buy the album there comes a great booklet with it giving first a little introduction to what the song is about, a little background information, and then the lyrics in spanish with english translations next to it. :) Of course you could get it the other way to get an impression of the album first, there are also English songs on it. Nick Cave - A box for black Paul Went to Amsterdam yesterday to see Editors in paradiso, and that was a very, very impressive concert. I loved it. But I also had a little bit of time to check out what Boudisque had and picked up some Cave albums I didn't have yet for a nice price. :thumbsup: From het to eternity is one of them. Pff, good luck on that Scientists song. :P They're pretty hard to follow, saw them live a while ago. They sure had a lot of energy. :shock: Fun to see them preform though, but it can't be easy to top them? Funny that bands like the wombats and WaS are already being covered. :o
