I know Sting is now a total prick but doesn't anyone rate the Police? They are on the radio at the moment. I used to love them and realise I still do. Very rare with the music of my youth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nope - sorry mate! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh well. I'll let you off on that one as you're from Barry and can beat me up. Just kidding. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blushes...( I am a closet Police fan from my childhood...).... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't get involved in beating people up - I just know people who can arrange things ;-) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Hold your head high Iron Lung. There is nothing to be ashamed of... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
your right though....Sting solo is SHIT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Some of Ten Sumoner's Tales is not bad but the rest is shite covered in shite. Ddi you hear Nas' sample of Shape of My Heart? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Stingis great. Police are great.... Fields of Gold is a fantastic song. The Police created their best work when the band was under pressure of splitting up. Cant stand losing you is my favourate by far. |
||||||||
|

I'd have to sat Walking on the Moon - great bassline. Message in a Bottle a close second. |
||||||||

i really like the police actually when i was 9 years old the first vinyl record i bought was Zenyatta Mondatta |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still like the Police, but yes, Sting is annoying now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Uh, the Police should be prosecuted just for clearing that sample for puff daddy. Atrocious! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Fair point Meho! Jonesy: I can't believe it, something we agree on! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
puff daddy must die!! he is a little homo |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, I kinda like some of his shit, it's so kitschy that it kinda rocks. But that Police sample and song are total crap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know mate. I agreed with Meho the other day too. I must apologise for my know-all posts in the past. I get carried away when having a discussion. Sorry for being an arrogant twat. I am always right though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Plus I don't think he's homo, he used to bang J Lo, didn't he? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
As far as I know he is a homo sapien. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, is that what he meant? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hope so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean, we should have him crucified for spreading homophobia on this messageboard (just kidding) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Crucified? That's a bit lenient. I'm not a soft touch you know. PC enforcer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right, OK, so what do you suggest? Decapitation, dismemberment and then burning at stake for the final touch? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i used to love The Police when i was about 10 when i got given their greatest hits; i still like their old stuff. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Meho: you forgot disembowelment you reactionary |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh, yes, yes. And the family, don't forget the family: to death camps with those!!! |
||||||||
|

|
Did you know Marx thought that homosexuality was a bourgois deviation? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just proves he was wrong on more than just one point. (lol) Homosexuality can be found among various animal species (hell, some of my cats do it here and there), and I doubt that even Marx could find any class distinctions there. (well, maybe among certain species...) |
||||||||

I've been reading up a little on Baudrillard (you'll never escape this). So he thinks that everything is a mere representation of things that aren't real. Representations based on images that are not true or can't be known? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
o my god ! you wanbt to kill me!!:) when i say home i mean and idiot i have nothing against gays btw puff "idiotik"daddy i can't stand him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jedy: an idiot? So, now you're bashing mentally challenged people? You'll have a lot to answer for my friend (lol, of course). Jonesy: What have you been reading? I mean that idea stretches back to greeks. Nietzsche is famous for saying "There are no facts, just opinions". That's just one side to Baudrillard, though... Check out that site jand's tipped us on (www.textz.com), plenty of free stuff, and a lot of Baudrillard amongst it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Jedy hates gays and people with learning difficulties - its official. Ha, ha. I've been reading bits of Against Postmodernism by Alex Callinicos. Oh, and (don't laugh) Postmodernism for Beginners. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Postmodernism for Beginners? well please please do give me the definition of Postmodern |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm not laughing, those for beginners books are a fair starting point providing you don't start namedropping and boasting around the second you drop the book (i know I do, heh). His latest book (Baudrillard's): Perfect crime is the easiest to read, sou you might want to start there... Mind you, my girlfriend dropped it after about 3 pages, but she doesn't have the firm marxist foundations that you have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I'm stumped man. My take is that there are no ideologies that can explain any kind of truth. There is no truth. Liberal deomcracy is the only model for social organisation. Ask Meho man coz I ain't got a bleeding clue. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ugh, Marlowe, you might like to have Lyotards definition: postmodernism is incredulity towards meta-naratives. Mean anything to you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i understood it, but it is basically meaningless - it seems to be saying, more or less, think laterally... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Meta-narratives a la Marxism, feminism etc. So how much do you agree with Baudrillard? The Gulf War etc? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with crowley: SIT STILL STOP THINKING SHUT UP GET OUT! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Just a second here: meta-naratives as in: Truth, Justice, Humanity etc... It's not how much I agree, it's how much he has me rethinking the things I thought were beyond any further analysis... Postmodernism (or shall we call it post structuralism, as it sounds a little less fashionable) is all about taking very different perspective on what you already know (while modernism was all about inventing new). Uh, the gulf war? That article was dead on. Funny how we succeed in turning every thread into socio-political debate. Phobia will have our asses. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like to talk about "wider" issues... ...back to meta-narrative -- we now require a definition of the word narrative...i took this contextual definition to mean straight storytelling |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you know, i've been thinking - i've always hated the label Postmodernism; always struck me as sounding so 1950s...and now i am thinking of labels, which i also hate -- as you may know, the word CONVENTION has its root in the word CONVENIENCE...labels are used as a convention - but i am disturbed because, when using labels, a lot of people think withing the insular confines of whichever LABEL they are talking under... the universe is one, there are no Label Walls between things - they are all inter-related. this may sound like a sudden burst of static, but it's just what occurred to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, no storytelling, but those big concepts that we base almost the whole of our culture on. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Marlowe: you just stumbled upon founding postmodernist concepts. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love The Police... and I love Stings solo stuff... They Dance Alone, and All This Time are great songs... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what are the big concepts? truth, justice, humanity? i don't see an awful lot of that triumvirate of righteousness |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shit, does that make me a postmodernist! :S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No, it's just that it's, for instance always been considered that there actually exists one objective truth, regardless of if there's anyone knowing it (an implicit reference to God I guess). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Police are legends. |
