After listening to this album right now, and in the spririt of ARCH's topic.... EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL rule!!! I am drawing a line in the sand now, I would hate to hear anyone dispute that: Amplified Heart Walking Wounded Temperamental and even Back to Mine are VERY good albums.... LOL...I hope there are some other EBTG lovers here...Anyone?? Bueller? Bueller? |
||||||||

Yep, I've loved em since they first got together...I've even got a tape of Tracy Thorn when she was an All girl group before she met Ben... They've had loads of different stages tho...Some kinda Smiths-like, some very Jazzy & countrynWestern... but yeah, I fucking love em...the new dancey stuff is great even if his DnB was a little weak... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right on Jand..... Her acoustic cover of Springsteen's "Tougher Than the Rest" is sooooo beautiful. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Her voice just makes me go weak at the knees...I always had a secret crush on her since I was a teenager.. Ever read Patient by Ben Watt?..He's the guy in the band and was very very at deaths door Ill for a while and this is the tale...it's good read, if a little depressing... But at least he doesn't die in the end... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aint heard em in ages... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO, I will have to check it out....What was he sick with? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same thing as Beth Orton wasn't it? Something to do with the digestive system I think. Jand: is that book any good? I love Missing so much. She's probably my favourite female vocalist. Anyone got the Lazy Dog comps? I've a DJ mix he did on the radio of deep house. His remix of Sade's 'By Your Side' is class. I'm really into the deep house sound he plays. Apparently he plays a drum n bass set at Grooverider's (or is it Fabio?) club every month and the Groove plays a deep house set at his. Cool eh? |
||||||||

|
|
also, the song SINGLE....man, how haunting and meloncholic...reminds me of real LOST loves....It evokes the PERFECT broken up or lst love feeling.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
EVERYTHING BUT THE GIRL got some very nice tracks havent heard a fulllength ever tho...liked that track hmmmm whats the name hmmm......"like the deserts miss the rain".....nah forgot the name. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's "missing"....excellent track...I recommend you check out the album "Walking Wounded" Arch=) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, the book is ok...he gets a mystery illness and basically his whole body just collaspes and he has bits of digestive system removed etc...not that nice reading really but an interesting story... Check out their early albums as well before they went all dancy with the remix of Missing & the Walking Wounded album...I really liked their Smiths period stuff (LOVE NOT MONEY album, I think...) but I was a rabid Smiths fan in my teenage years... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ooooohhh...me toooo...I STILL love the Smiths.... |

What was all that stuff about Morrissey being a nazi/racist? Was there anything to it? I wasn't around at the time so to speak. I've got Eden but have never listened to it. Someone gave it to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I dont think soooo...Mozz is too much of a passifist (or how ever you spell it) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think Morrisey has a bit of a fascination with nationalists. He has that song "National Front Disco", right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
EDEN is their first album... real jazzy stuff...you'll probably like it... All that stuff about Morrissey was kinda wack...but yeah, he was flirting with some pretty odd areas.."Nationskinheads & draping yourself with the Union Jack at a Madness concert etc... Think it was the NME who really got the boot in & made more of it than it really was...M was pretty intelligent guy and a lot of what he wrote about went over a lot of people head; I don't think the NME knows the meaning of the word Irony really...too PC for their own good I guess.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NME's ok, they're too fucking arsey about some stuff though I hate Everything But The Girl! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nme sux shit imo |
||||||||
|

I used to religionsly buy it every week for years & years and it had it's moments... But any I've picked up in the last few years have felt a bit like a comic....where has all the good writing gone?..You used to have people like Julie Burchill, Tony Parsons, Paul Morley...real writers..... nowdays its just a glorified Smash Hits ... whether this is due to a)me getting older b) NME getting shite or c) The indie & dance scenes going overground big style , I really don't know... probably a combination of the 3... |
||||||||

i don't read it regularly but flip thru it here and there. They are A BIT PRETENTIOUS AND STILL SLAG OFF OLD iRON mAIDEN. i MEAN REALLY... oops, sorry for the caps, must've struck caps lock w/o noticing |

Nobody slags off old Iron Maiden in my presence! |

gimme five jarworski!!! |

|||||||||

I used to buy it and occasionally pick it up. Its a rip off though and they hike up the price every few months. I took to nicking it from Tescos for a while because I resented paying for it. Its getting worse with more pictures and fuck all reviews. The only thing I like is 7 magazine. |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i only get those free cd'd that they give to all readers (usually when they raise the price). Excellent comp's tho. I never seem to be able to get all the money at one pile to subscribe. But am thinking about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What kind of mag is the wire? I subscribe to Razzle. |

jonesy: it's for pseudointelectuals who will rather listen to obscure than good music and analyse it from a post-structuralist viewpoint while pissing on postmodernist wanabes. Perfect fo me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i can't believe i'm reading this shit.... i H A T E Everything But The Girl. |

Give me Smash Hits any day. I hate intellectuals. Get this dude: while in Blackpool at the National Union of Students conference a group of tits and myself were sat around the hotel restaurant table eating dinner when the others, knowing I was a Trotskyist and they were Labour students, started to wind me up about class. We all stated our social class and the reasons why and this total dufus said "I'm part of the intelligensia because my dad is a lecturer" without a hint of irony. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm with you man! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nothing worse than working class intellectuals |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Missing" is most annoying track ever made....i hate that whining cunt stinking piece of shit song.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Are you a middle class intellectual then? Phresch: get of the thread then you gonch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just felt like sharing my opinion on this matter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no I'm a lazy class bum. I'm not an intellectual, I have no school to speak about. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hate that whining cunt stinking piece of shit song.. LMFAO! |

The Wire is very cool...not every issue is way up there but if you wanna hear the real avnt-garde stuff, The Wire is your one.... And Jonesy...you fall into that Intelliegensia camp...don't lie ...;)... And KEN...yeah, that Better Things track is soo soo good...totally agree wit ya... Have you chked the ENO remixes of Protection, they are a work of art... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, I'm descended from the manual working class despite my pretentions. I still haven't given those Eno mixes a good listen. I've got the MA singles box set but, after three years, have yet to go through it properly. I love the Perfecto mix of Safe from Harm, used in Heat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same here, mate....working class (or lower) all the way... Time for some Class WAr ...;).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
with me it's the other way round, i descend from a long line of intellectuals and I am just a lowlife. BTW, Jand, I knew you were digging the wire. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
5 yrs ago The Wire was so much better tho.... Loads n Loads of IDM itc and less Peruvian Nose Flute Speed/MidgetCore... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, I like it even now. I like that peruvian midget noseflute noisecoresplatter modern classical improv avantgarde shit. And IDM, well, you had Le Tigre several issues ago, right? And Kid 606 (a hell of an interview), Prefuse 73 etc. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, agreed..I still buy it every month... I actually dig the way they dig thru so many diff styles and such...from AvantGarde to Boc..:)... Still no sign of South African SpeedDub tho..;).. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is it available in newsagents? Does it cost £5 like those glossy style/wank mags? I might seek it out, sounds good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think it's £3.10. But you'll hate it. |
