[meat puppet]

cigs & alcohol and rocknroll star are my oasis faves. in retrospect, they kinda lost it after morning glory. but then again the peak was huge.

as for "britpop" records, to me pulp's different class, oasis' definitely maybe and super furries' radiator seem to have aged best. radiohead's bends and ok computer not so well.

now listening to the minutemen - two beads at the end

FAITH NO MORE - CAFFEINE LIVE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRFPs7L9Vgw&feature=bf_next&list=PLD7E6282CF09EA2C4&lf=results_main
Pour shame all over us
Harden into a crust
- - - cement - - -
Forget the glamor and
Mumble a jackhammer
- - - under your breath - - -
Hide your face in the curtains
Better unsaid, so close
And it rolls off the tongue
ALMOST
The world expects the pose
Perfectly natural
- - - loosen up - - -
Smearing wet concrete
And swearing you'll never be
- - - caught - - -
At your weakest, etched in stone
And we're frozen here, peeking
ALMOST
sweet talk
CAFFEINE
Make contact
Up to my neck
I confess in quicksand
"But it's so easy for you"
"There's always one thing"
"Do you have something to tell me?"
"Say something"
"Anything"
I'm warning you
I'm warning you
I'm f**king you
I'm warning you
"Relax"
"It's just a phase"
"You'll grow out of it"
Believe anything anyone ever tells you
It's not funny anymore
It's the thing you hate the most
The thing you hate the most
The thing you hate ALMOST

Oasis have aged better than Radiohead? That's... not the most common of viewpoints.

Personally I think Oasis have aged terribly, it's all well and good if you were the right age at the right time for nostalgic purposes, but there were far better British bands throughout the 90s.

Her new LP is sublime, great talent that lass

I used to frequent a restaurant where this young Englishwoman worked as a server. She was a Londoner but had been living in Manchester for a few years before her move to the U.S. One night we had a discussion about the varying appeal of different English accents. I have always preferred the Liverpool accent to the Manchester accent (she felt the opposite), but I couldn't quite explain my preference. Some time later, it dawned on me- when I hear a Liverpudlian accent I'm reminded of John, Paul, George, and Ringo; that Manc accent just makes me think of those loutish Gallagher brothers.

Strangely enough, I believe I saw the minutemen's last concert. They opened for REM at the last stop of their '85 concert tour in Charlotte, NC. About 10 days later guitarist D. Boon was killed in an auto wreck.

Jump ahead to 2008 and I catch Iggy and the Stooges at the Virgin Mobile music festival in Baltimore. Minutemen bassist Mike Watt is now a part of this version of the Stooges. The following January Stooges guitarist Ron Ashcroft dies of a heart attack, IIRC. Soooo..... it would seem that each time I appear in the life of poor old Mike Watt, I bring death to someone close to him. Sounds like the next sequel in the "Final Destination" series.

am loving the Jezabels - Indie rock

 

[auscyclefan94]

Just a little question. I contended on twitter that singers who lip synced during performances were frauds. Fair call or stupid call?

 

[The Howling Fantods]

am loving the Jezabels - Indie rock

Yes!
Been looking forward to this album since the EPs. It doesn't fail to deliver.

Looking forward to getting that one. Also ordered: some old King Crimson, the new Kate Bush, Bjork, Radiohead, King Creosote, and the one and only Thomas Waits.

Last week went to see the Villagers (a Dublin based band/project). You can check out "Becoming a Jackal" at

Stephin Merritt: Great pop songwriter, or Greatest pop songwriter?

 

[mortand]

Merritt is a Great pop songwriter.

He's no match for Joe Pernice, though:
Pernice Brothers - She Heightened Everything
Pernice Brothers - Saddest Quo

Or Gerard Love:
Teenage Fanclub - Shock and Awe
Teenage Fanclub - Sparky's Dream
Teenage Fanclub - Going Places

Or Robert Forster:
The Go-Betweens - Caroline and I

Or Grant McLennan:
The Go-Betweens - Was There Anything I Could Do?

But he sure knows how to write an intelligent, baroque pop song, Merritt. The Nun's Litany is one of my favorites. He's quite a lyricist.

And that was quite a number of YouTube links, sorry 'bout that.
