We get letters!!

(by "we" I mean, me)

from a Ms. Vaj in Auckland, who writes:

"...i have a story for you and your SG mates... when i was getting tattooed on friday, i was laying there on the table thingy and i was looking through my new SG cards... and the other guys getting tattooed and the tattooists were asking what they were... so...

I must respectfully (but firmly) disagree with you regarding The Cure's best album. It is Faith, not Pornography. I will admit I have grown to like Pornography better over the years than I did at the time it was released, but Faith is their masterpiece. The new Cure DVD in which they play Pornography in it's entirety is excellent though.

I just wanna thank Cherry for the mix tapes!

Yes, the SG Mix Tape Swap was... um, a swap of two. Maybe prana will be able to make it a perfect trio, but... anyway, dreams come true, you can complete a music swap on SG. wink

Also, thanks to the other people who've sent me music n things: WhiskeyFightPit, WaTed, and Paul/ Franchise/ Too, whichever he...

I just noticed YLT on your profiel. I saw them in person this summer. The floor of the venue is sprung, so that you feel the music in your body twice as heavily as normal. And their music is already so tactile.

I felt like I was on acid the whole time.

And then (how embarassing is this?) in the last song of their second encore, I actually fainted. I think it was the heat. But it was too bad, because I was really enjoying the song.

I completely agree with you re 70's movies. Killing of a Chinese Bookie is brilliant. There was something a whole lot grittier about movies back then. It's all so slick, high-tech and boring now. frown

Anyway, keep up the dumb posts!! biggrin

WhiskeyFightPit sent me The Killing of a Chinese Bookie. It was one of the best things I've seen in a while. I told TunnelSlats why I love 70s movies; they look so damn real compared to the stagey earlier decades or the slicker following ones.

It has left me in quite a mood. Not depressed, or sad, but uniquely serious & contemplative. I'm gonna...

You wanna see a really great movie???? See "Happiness Of The Cattagoris" (from the director of the Audition and Ichi The Killer) RIGHT NOW! It'll blow the socks of your ass.

ps - I don't mind the song... it's just a really dumb lyric. Come on, admit it.

I don't like love songs. Would you call those lyrics whistful? I like Nick Cave style love songs.

"the girls was beautiful with a ribbon in her hair. We made love by the mountain brook. Than I caved her skull in with a limestone boulder 'cause I wanted to see all beauty die."

Stuff like that. His lyrics always hit the spot.

Best albums I have purchased recently Hmm. I have been given some good albums, such as Drive-By Truckerss Decoration Day and The Art Ensemble of Chicagos Les Stances a Sophie. I have bought Sebadoh stuff; Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock seems to be my fave. I need to listen to Bubble & Scrape and The Sebadoh more. I was listening more...

You are oh-so-indie in your musical taste but pretty mainstream in your movie picks. I suppose there's some sort of meaning in that but I'm not sure what it is.

9/6/03 update downstairs

This is a audience-participation segment...

--ask me anything--


I figure I've been writing a lot this summer about stuff I've read, or records. Maybe you want more insight into me than that. Perhaps there's been something you've wondered. Or maybe you wanna ask a really embarassing question. Go ahead. I might answer it.

9/6/03 ps -- I will likely be busy Sunday...

BBC Wales isn't John Peel - it's a DJ called Adam Walton: http://www.themysterytour.co.uk smile

John Peel has his own sessions, often called "Peel Sessions" and then the other Famous Radio 1 DJ, Steve Lamaq has his sessions too, which are called an "Evening Session". We just got a Radio Wales session tongue

I've been slacking with your burns and surprises. You have to burn me some Neil. All I own is Rust Never Sleeps, Decade, Everyone Knows This Is Nowhere, After The Gold Rush, and Broken Arrow. Hook me up, brotha!!!

I do have TRANS on vinyl though.

For my vocal duties on our latest noise rock album, I read passages from the Christian Science bible thing in a Captain Beefheart fashion. The only thing on my mind the whole time was GIMME THAT OLD TIME RELIGION. My cohorts are transferring it from MiniDisk over to CD. I'll get you a copy. Only one guy in the group knows how to do anything. What I lack in talent I make up for in energy. Cheech might get a a chuckle or two.

NOW GET ME A BEER, SLAVE!!!!!!

crazydasaint:
"Adventure" is pretty much what I'd been lead to expect-- the songs are good, but the procuction is much too glossy. The drums are mixed way down low and recorded so that they sound like a cross between a drum machine and a kid's toy. The vocals are mixed too high. The guitars are overall ok, but too orderly and restrained. But if you can look past the overproduction, yeah the songs are there.

This is my little R.I.P. for Bronson. I hope not just out of laziness (I haven't done anything yet today except clean my bathroom, vaccuum, and copy a CD; I expect you don't need explicit details about all that) but just to marvel at the quote I read on Yahoo News, that Charles got into acting "to make money." I mean what are the odds...

he was such a great on-screen personality. it's just more spicy that he was not too succesfull in the US at first.

it's so weird. a guy i never exepcted to die. he had this almighty feeling around him.

I get so grumpy when I hear people applauding madonna and britney, saying they've taken a step forward for gay rights. Of course they haven't. It's a step BACKward. Not only was it probably insincere, but pretty "lesbians" (the kind that really like men and just kiss women and who are stereotypically sexy) have ALWAYS been acceptable to the media. This is nothing new at all, it's just the same old game!!

Stupid madonna and britney. I'm glad someone else agrees, I felt like maybe I was just being a killjoy.

Okay, I was wrong. Nobody likes U-boats. I guess sinking all them ships made them some enemies or something...
whiskeyfightpit:
I liked the fuckin' U-Boats. But they need to be modernized to meet my drinking and Grand Theft Auto Vice City habits. They can leave the guns in the tourettes, too. I imagine I would like to mimick what I see in video games after about 28-33 Amstel Lights.

Plus we'll need the soundtrack from Scarface. It just makes sense.
