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

Oh, the first ones. Just at school. When I was very young.

Says the Good Charlotte fan...

Haha, genius. :thumbsup:

I haven't got a best friend. But two people that are very close to me: I met one the first time when I was threatening to throw her sister in the ditch. Obviously she didn't like what I was doing, but later on (a few months later) we got along pretty well and we've been friends for nearly 10 years now. The other one was at school. I went from Havo/VWO to Mavo in school and so I got into a new class. I didn't knew anybody and I had to make some friends, for English I had to make a collage about the Jasper National Park and I had to do that with somebody so I picked out my now very good friend. We had an A for the project by the way.

Haven't been posting much lately and don't feel like summing everything up so just what I've seen yesterday: The Baron of Arizona Already the last movie from my First Films of Sam Fuller box, unfortunatly. But like I Shot Jesse James and especially The Steel Helmut this was a pleasure to watch. It's has got less Fuller than the other two, because of James Wong Howe with his smooth style which is not really what you expect from a Fuller movie which generally has a pretty rough, straight forward approach to film making. But there are deffinitly some moments of Fullerian greatness in this movie. Next to that the movie never bores and Vincent Price is delicious in this movie, and his role in this movie is still one of his favorites. One of the last films he directed, John Huston returned to Mexico 20 years after shooting Night of the Iguana for a nightmare called Under the Volcano. Right from the opening scene you get sucked into it. The mysteriousness of the DÃÆÃâÃâía de los Muertos is overwhelming with the smoke and the dancing skeletons. We follow the last day of Geoffry Firmin, ex-colonel and now alcoholic living in Mexico. Thanks to Finney's extraordinary (really, a preformance like this is rare) you're going in completely, you start losing your grip on reality, but it's just on the edge; you still have a slight idea of what you are doing. And then you come to that final palce, on top of the hill. Then you go over your limit, and you completely lose control over everything. A terrible nightmare for the viewer. Hell is my preference, I choose Hell, Hell is my natural habitat! He couldn't have said it better.

Yea, the Bruce Springsteen album is really good. I heard Chrome Horse II only one time so far, but that sounded promosing as well. But yea, a lot of older rockers are releasing a lot new material lately (Neil young did three albums in two years?). But most of it works really good. Dylan's Modern Times is very good. And what to think of Ry Cooder's last two albums ChÃÆÃâÃâávez Ravine and My Name is Buddy. I think we can count My Name is Buddy as one of the best albums released so far this year. Cat Stevens coming back after a long period, but now under the name of Yusuf Islam. Even Meat Loaf released a Bat out of Hell album last year! But I didn't dare to listen that one. :P

I'm at the newspaper part now and so far he didn't say anything we didn't already know.

For 2 dollar an album you might as well download it illegaly. :roll:

Hm, I think it's an extremely cheesy and overproduced record. Especially the first disc is extremely hard to get trough. With tracks such as No More Walks in the Wood (an extremely sweet a cappella opener), Busy Being Fabulous, What do I do with my heart (this has got to be the worst track of the album) and I don't want to hear anymore. I'm not really a fan of the "grabaguitarandsingalong" sound, especially not when it's aimed at a 40+ audience that likes to think they still have it. And the fact that it's all so obviously fake considering the egos in the band can drink eachother's blood doesn't make it much better. Just a quick cash-in using the succes of previous hits. The only track that I got trough was the titletrack.

Anybody listened to the new Ealges album? Man, it sucks donkey balls.

Yea, I saw a trailer in cinemas. I'm kind of looking forward to this movie, since the trailer was quiete promising. Nice detail you found there.

I think I stopped playing Runescape in 2004. I do remember that second welcome from the tip.it site this one. The other one was before my time. I haven't got much scapeboard/tip.it nostalgia anyway. There were some good times when Darkwebz was so active, but other than that I don't have much great memories from it or something, I feel a bit alone on the forums most of the time, or maybe I just don't care enough. I don't know. :cry:

You aren't going as an Armani model, T-Roach? :P

Beastie Boys - Pauk's Boutique Shake your rump!

I need to think of something that I can do. i'm not much of a writer.

Yea, Cash has done some amazing cover work. Those American Recordings albums produced by Rick Rubin are amazing! Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - City of Refuge

Of course I can't do that. It's hard to describe what it exactly is. But it's been bothering me for a while that when you hear people talk about pop-music they often act like it is something bad, they always talk about Britney Spears when it is said that pop-music is bad. And then I wonder if people know what they're talking about (Not that I'm all-knowing of course). Pop isn't really a genre of music, it's more a category. Just like Jazz is, or Classical music. Pop music is just about everything that doesn't fall in those other two categories, so it varies from the beatles to the cheeky girls, from Madonna to Joy Division and Paul Simon to Michael Jackson. And within pop-music there are the various genres, just like you have with Jazz and with classical music. Dance music, rap, soul,RnB, rock are a few of those genres. Then you have got all those musicians, who fit in those genres, some combine certain genres, some musicians even combine categories. And within all those musicians there are differences as well; pop-music with a popular sound that appeals to a lot of people, and pop-music with a sound that sounds less appealing to a lot of people. And if you've got pop-music that appeals to a lot of people that doesn't automatically mean that it is bad. And that goes the other way around too. I think that's about it. in a nutshell. Boo, be happy that there is some kind of half interesting conversation going on in this otherwise very uninteresting topic of yours.

Then you got a pretty bad and wrong image of pop-music.

Supersister - Memories are new

'pop' that sums up your entire list. I wonder why it is that people don't want to believe that they are listening to pop-music.

How can you say that you don't listen to mainstram music and then mention: Interpol. Foo Fighters. Paolo Nutini. The Strokes. RHCP. Kings Of Leon. The Fratellis. Biffy Clyro. Bloc Party. Wolfmother. Razorlight. Snow Patrol. Damien Rice. Daft Punk. I can't follow todays youth anymore. Yesterday I was working and I was playing the new Neil Young album Chrome Dreams II, when I was playing that I had two DIFFERENT groups of 15 year old kids "ooh, the new HIM!! i NEED that so much!! Look at those FALL OUT BOY belts! Amazing!! BTW, what kind of crap are you listening to right now?!"

Bloc Party - Flux Their latest track, what a strange clip. :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsIMTwVa ... p=26260940

Got it yesterday, it's pretty easy. That first fire temple took me about 15 minutes. :? It's fun though.
