The Cranberries - Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
I've always like TCs, always nice music, but of course lyrics is the main attraction.
This album: Dolores looks back at her life and thinks about what's important (love).

Bad Religion - Stranger than Fiction. Damn fine album. Damn fine. Needed a change.

Ardax · 12-26-2001, 03:20 PM

Ah, Stranger than Fiction is a great album. Heh.

They Might Be Giants - John Henry

Bouncy Bouncy Fun Fun!

Yep, that is a good album.

Miles Davis--Sketches of Spain: Picked it up tonight. Brilliant.

Radiohead--Amnesiac: Also bought this tonight. If there really is a fine line between genius and insanity, they definitely straddle it. Reminds me of Sonic Youth for some reason. Good CD. I still need to get Kid A.

Ardax · 12-27-2001, 07:48 AM

Ah, Kid A is a great disc -- I think I'll listen to it now.

Personally, I think that Radiohead are insane geniuses. I need to get Amnesiac and OK Computer yet.

Santa replaced my missing Tori Amos CDs (Boys For Pele and From the Choirgirl Hotel) too. I didn't realize how much I'd missed them until I got to listen to them again. My collection is now complete again.

Guns N' Roses - One In A Million - man this is a good song. As is the whole album. I find it strangely addictive.

jaguar · 12-27-2001, 02:59 PM

Personally i prefer Kid A to Amnesiac, but by a matter of very small degrees. they both whip ass =)

I recently got Ok Computer on vinyl...very different i think to the second two albums.

12-27-2001, 03:03 PM

OK Computer is a great album, don't get me wrong. But I don't see it as genius, really. I like listening to it, but it doesn't fascinate me, like The Downward Spiral or The Fragile do. Maybe that's just me, but I don't really see it. Anyway, what is musical genius? I see it in Bach. His music inspires awe in me, just like Trent's does. I guess my description for Radiohead would be "exceptionally talented musically". That's my question - what is musical genius?

In the end, I think a lot of it has to do with how a person "feels" about the music...what that music does to the person. Also, how it is composed or put together. Sure, I think Chopin and Beethoven and Gershwin are geniuses. I think many would agree on that...but there are probably some out there who could give a fuck less about classical music. I think Radiohead are musical geniuses as well, even though some would simply call their music "noise."

Nine Inch Nails--Further Down the Spiral: Remixes from The Downward Spiral CD. Trent always has good remixes, especially since several of them on this CD are done by members of Coil and Foetus.

The Clarks - Love Gone Sour, Suspicion, and Bad Debt

The Clarks are a regional band, so you may not have heard of them. Great stuff thoguh, it's a bar-rock kinda sound.

Has anyone noticed, on Bad Relgion - Stranger Than Fiction, the first track... at about 2:08, there's a Windows "Ding" sound? WTF is that? Every time I hear it it throws me off, since I expect to see some sort of error pop up (even though I no longer use that sound for anything).

I've heard it in a few other songs too, just in the middle where it doesn't really seem to have any place.

*takes his Stranger Than Fiction CD, listens to the spot several times*

The only thing I hear is a bit of feedback at 2:10, which sorta sounded like the Windows "ding."

Actually, this takes me to one of my favorite Bad Religion songs...

"So hooray for me...and fuck you!"

Ardax · 12-28-2001, 10:45 AM

I'm going to grab the CD when I get home and do more listening. All I have at work is the 128 kb/s Vorbis file, and the ding gets pretty muffled.

Hey, my speakers here suck, the volume is kept reasonably low, so 128 kb/s means I can store more music.

There's only a handful of songs that sound bad when I'm not paying attention. Hopefully RC3 does even better on those. Heh.

I am at home, which means I can hit my massive MP3 collection (mostly ripped from own cds). Today I'm listening to

VAST - Music for People

Very very very good. If you haven't heard of him, you should go buy his first CD, Visual Audio Sensory Theater. Pretty good stuff. Not as mature, lyrically, as Trent or anything, but the music is definitely pretty great and the first CD is my favorite. Music for People is his second and is definitely worth owning, but I don't find it as listenable as the first.

Home 'cause it's Jenni's birthday.
