snowbender 3 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 I read an interesting review of Stings new lute project: His overwrought delivery is unfortunately and irresistibly evocative of your English teacher revealing his frustrated theatrical ambitions during a class reading of Macbeth.

gerard 6 Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Maybe the writer of the review things that Sting is a mediocre wanker and that he more or less ran out of ideas after 'Nothing like the sun'. A lot of what he's been doing is just recycling his older songs with different musicians. He's got the clout to bring on some of the best non-pop oriented musicians, which gives his music --which is ordinary pop-- an false sense of sophistication. His live shows are amazing to hear --great musicians, great production and great sound, but he's still a pretentious wanker. That might be the writers opinion. I won't be spending my money on the Sting album but I definitely want to check out CB and Motherhucker's recommendation. Good enthusiastic reviews written in cool vernacular.

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i am gonna go back to my habit of second-hand shop hunting, and buying nothing over 1000 yen. The other day i found THE golden-era hip hop classic by Poor Righteous Teachers, `NWO`. Every track is amazing, save one. And i also saw a Talib Kweli CD in the 350 yen bin at Tower yesterday. What the fukk? Are people so infatuated with crap like 50 cent that talib gets relegated to the bargain bin? Its criminal! Oh, and This Bike is a Pipe Bomb is great country-flavored punk from Florida. I`m digging on them right now too. Link to post Share on other sites

moloneb3 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Currently I am listening to: Trivium - The Crusade - some amazing songs but there are one or 2 dodgy enough ones. The ones that are good are class. Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm - Kirk Kammet from Metallica called them an absurd band and he was correct. Still one of my favourite albums and if you like ridiculously long guitar solos, then they are the boys. Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage - again as mentioned before. Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 I've been listening to a lot of REM recently - the Up and Reveal albums have some really good songs on them even though they are kinda down feeling in general. Got Royksopp on in the car right now. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Underated albums I reckon those from REM. Quite laid back but some cracking songs esp on Reveal. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Vivaldi. "Winter, Allegro non molto" is renaissance high-energy groove. It would make a fantastic soundtrack to a short snowboarding video, especially if the rockin' bits were extended slightly. The opening bit where you're putting your boots on and slithering to the lifts sounds really cold and wintery but with that building excitement. It even ends with the chattering of braking snowboards as a crew of increasingly fat gaijin haul up at the gondola again. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I have a music challenge question. Can anybody tell me the name or artist of the music on the latest Yanmar fishing boat TV CM. It's a trancey sort of track that I know I might even have on my HD, but I can't remember what it is. It's killing me. Link to post Share on other sites
