Because it's Sunday.
That's Boom Shaka paying tribute to, or butchering that song, depending on your point of view.

are you playing on that one?
SLEEP-Holy Mountain
early Stevie Wonder is magical.
Bach is my favorite classical composer. especially The Goldberg Variations or The French Suites.
and to fix the snoring spouse, wear headphones.
o, and I'm still listening to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs new cd. and the Bob Marley box set.

well, I can't help you there. I fall asleep with my headphones on. I need music to sleep. somehow, in the morning the headphones are on the floor beside the bed. these aren't earbud things, but the big style ones. the thud on the floor should wake everybody in the house up. but it doesn't.
That's what you think!:eek:

I was not a huge fan of Dance Hall at Louse Point. How does this compare?
song will win you over. I think. like the beautiful bastard child of Patti Smith and Iggy Pop.
more songs stand out for me on this one than Dance Hall, which I liked, but it's probably one of her weaker cds. this one is a little more frantic and desperate. that's pomo mofo hipster speak for raw. ;)

jesus christ. I wish I had BBC just for that one show.
Deary me. All those music lessons...
yeah, it's no Jethro Tull, but...uhhhh. thank fuck it's no Jethro Tull.
are you really that much of a music snob? I like challenging music. Ornette, Braxton, Cage, ICP Orchestra, Mingus, Coltrane, etc. but does music that comes from the gut scare you that much? and why does it? just because you can play extra notes doesn't mean those notes are better.

It is what it is
That's what I would say about that clip.
Lots of notes - no guts, no craft, no sense - to me.
well, I wont try to convince you otherwise. I always say something ( music or whatever) works for you or it doesn't. if it does, great. if it doesn't, move on.
but we'll always have Paris.

1. For the most part, yes
2. Not at all; I can't truly answer why it does, because I just indicated that it doesn't. What that partucular clip did was offend my senses. To me, that clip even tasted bad. And yeah, that's just my opinion. I would also add that if Mingus and Trane don't play music from the gut, then I've been deluded for over 20 years.
3. Of course extra notes don't always sound good or better. And it's all very subjective. But that clip reminded me of a 3rd grade school pageant interrupted by a sea lion being sodomized by a syphilitic pterodactyl.
I just can't let it go on initial impact. But I will agree that we can all like what we like and move on after we've had a chance to discuss said issue on an open forum such as this. BTW, I'm speaking as a person with ears and a mind, not as someone who plays (and I'm a nobody in that forum). But perhaps the two are inseparable.
You know, just had to say this. :)
my gut comment was off the mark. Coltrane did play from instinct. maybe I should've left him out of my argument to help my point ;).
I just tend to get my back up with comments like:
which smacks of snobbery. but I might be a touch sensitive when it comes to songs that affect me. and to your point, i can't tell you why it affects me, it just does.
or is it effects. I get those confused.
