Everybody makes me cringe... Tool- too dark and humorless, and even the attempts at humor are so black, they become ANTI-humor... NIN- Trent is obviously an amazing artist, with cheese to spare... Radiohead- Thom is getting on my nerves lately, and again, too serious... Pink Floyd- too smooth and sexy and slow... Bob Dylan- too... folkish... Kinks- Too showy... Rolling Stones- too badass... Clash- too anti-establishment, and their line ''phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust'' infuriates me, cocky little fucks aren't fit to suck Lennon off... RDJ-trying too hard lately... BOC- too samey and funless... Autechre- why do I get the feeling they WANT to be melodic again, but feel obligated NOT to be?... Tom Jenk- DYKS sucks Anyway... I just listed so many of my favorite artists... and all their cringe worthy points that get on my nerves. This leaves three artists that can do no wrong... The Beatles Syd Barrett Joy Division Perfection! The Beatles, even when doing something goofy, or even an artistic misstep, seem so genuine... enjoying themselves and catering to NOBODY, I mean, what demographic were THEY targeting, other than the four guys in the band? Syd Barrett- so goofy and weird, but so sad... I love him and I'd give my left arm to give him the chance to be young and creative again, the guy always makes me smile a sad smile, poor guy. No pretension in his weirdness, he just WAS that weird. Joy Division- aside from a few 80's aspects (I don't like the synth in ''Isolation'', for example), Curtis is just too great, pessimistic angry lyrics with none of the Trent R cheese. He just seems so REAL.. his depression was genuine, and unfortunately he proved it... And that's all I've got to say! Everybody else has flaws, but these three have never let me down and did everything to perfection. And all three ended prematurely... do you have any idea how mad I get that the Beatles stopped at Abbey Road, when it was obviously music's nadir? Went out on top! FUCKERS!!!!! Do you fol |

Why am I not surprised that such a random thought is generating so little response? *mumbles more gibberish |

"The Beatles Syd Barrett Joy Division" i haven't heard any syd, but there are some beatles and JD songs that make me cringe. most old beatles, and a couple JD songs with overly dark lyrics that i don't think were sincere. |

Well it's your opinion... you have the right to be wrong. ;-) j/k Actually some early Beatles cover songs just annoy me, but when they hit their stride they're just the band I wish I was in. |
||||||||
|

|

if u call Syd goofy again, I'm gonna smash your face in. |

Well he ain't James Dean cool! He's ''aloof''... is that better, tough guy? |

weee it's face smash threatening time again on .nu |

i think it's good these artists aren't compromising themselves for opinions like yours... no offense, i just like it that pink floyd are so incredibly what they are, and radiohead so serious, and so on. as for the question... bjork makes me not cringe. |
||||||||

Real shame about his hair. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

..and his sanity(syd barrett that is). |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Wouldn't you be aloof if you were stuck in his head? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What's wrong with my opinion? I love all the artists listed, made it a point to bring up all my faves... it's not slighting the artists, it's just an opinion... I can delete it if it'll hurt their feelings. Bjork makes me cringe, BTW. ;-) |

i know -- shame he didn't look as cool as you |

You can cut the sexual tension in here with a chainsaw. |

I'd like to reiterate my previous post. Thankyou |

Opchecks...there was a great article in last weekends OBSERVER magazine about Syd (now called Roger) Barrett...and how life is treating him nowadays... I can scan or perhaps send it to ya in the post if you're interested.... let me know.... |
||||||||

He lives with his mum doesn't he? I saw that but didn't get chance to read it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you listen way to much of rock music |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

jd is so good. and so is the beatles. you're right with that genuinity thing. no other musician would sound credible singing about octopusses and submarines. (allthough yellow submarine is such an annoying song) i've never even heard of this syd barret. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RDJ -- Trying to hard lately? explain. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm living with my mom too. I'd like to see the article if possible, maybe Syd Barrett has some words of wisdom for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His mum died. Jand, I'd love to read that article too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, his mum died a few years back... It affected him pretty badly.... Lives on his own now, still in Cambridge tho... I'll get it scanned for ya at the weekend & post the link here.... There's a great full A4 pic of your Syd avatar in the article marlowe BTW... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the article on the net somewhere perhaps? i'd like to read it ophecks - syd doesn't make you cringe? even when he's singing 'yes, i'm thi-iii-ii-iiiii-ii-i-ii-inking...' ? when i hear that i always feed sad :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'd love to see that article! If you can get that scanned that would be great, thanks! Syd was hot, once upon a time! |
||||||||

Is going for the Dr. Evil look lately. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he looks a lot better than he did in the early 90s though. He was hardly gonna look 23 forever. :( Dobbin, I know what you mean -- but that's an outtake -- put in to perpetuate the tragic mythos. LONG LIVE BARRETT! |

Bon Jovie.....he sucks and is a gay.....yeh...think about it |

Ophecks you didn't mention a single classical composer or jazz musician. How about world music, like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan? Or the unknown genius who composed incidental music for The Beachcombers. You can get these old CBC tapes where Glenn Gould is stuffing yams in his asscrack. PS nadir means lowest point. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh oh oh don't tell me! zenith means highest point?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, because I don't listen to them... these aren't FACTS I'm posting, these are OPINIONS... Fuck, nadir is such a cool word and I used it wrong. Blech. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im getting dyks anyways, it cant be that bad....i heard its exactly like go plastic. is it not? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If you're expecting another Go Plastic... I think you'll be sorely disapointed. And if you read his ''manifesto'', it seems even worse. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont understand whats different, is it in similar style to go plastic or just the songs suck on this 1? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Anstromm Feck 4 is pretty drilly, and would fit on it, but this track gets old... at first I thought it was great, now... eh. The rest is really... strange. I've barely listened, they just don't interest me at all, so I couldn't really tell you what the fuck they are. The first track is the Untitled single from a while back, and THAT song is amazing! Buy it just for THAT if you don't already have it. The live show is a non factor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, maybe ill download some first to see since it is getting quite a bit of bad reviews. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont seem to like spusher as much as i thought anyways. i love go plastic but big loada is just not as good, same with selection 16 and hard normal daddy. those last 3 releases are ok but just not all of the songs are good and they dont flow or have a similar theme\style. |
