Tuesday listens...what u got?

[-Jar-]

IYerself Is Steam - What a piece of crap IMO. I actually found myself clenching my teeth a couple of times and eventually just pulled it out of the player about half way through. This one was like nails on a blackboard. I'm really glad that I listened to Deserter's Songs first. Had YIS been my first listen, I might not have given them another chance.

..it's not as easy as it may seem, remember that yerself is steam..

I always forget that most people like normal music.



YERSELF is definately not normal music. But for those of us who like noise sweet noise, it's just a heavenly album. I guess you have to consider the environment that spawned them, just about everyone in the underground/indie rock world was doing the noise thing back in 1991. And copious amounts of drugs for sure. But, they all grew up and now make cafe' soundtrack music and toonz for Apple commercials and Nissans.

I still say "Frittering" stands above anything the band that calls itself Mercury Rev has done since.

IMO of course

I like DESERTER'S SONGS too.. but really only the first few cuts really grab me, the rest of the album is just a little on the nice side. I still think "Goddess on a Hiway" would sound awesome covered by Tom Petty.

Now, excuse me while I go crank BOCES. (you thought YERSELF IS STEAM was crap, hehe, I can't imagine you'd have very nice things to say about BOCES either..muahahah)

Funny you should word it this way. As I was listening to the first few tracks, I swear, I thought to myself..."this isn't music, it's noise". Now I know how my mother felt all those years ago when we were still living at home.

mom was saying those things about Andy Gibb and Free To Be You And Me. She always made me turn off Joni Mitchell, but she did like Tangerine Dream and wanted to come to see ELP with us.

Hmmmm. What kind of pills was she taking?

Free To Be You And Me. Wow. It's like an acid flashback. I had totally blocked that from my memory. There were some very positive messages in FTBYAM. You should consider a copy for your kiddies. Hmmmmm. Maybe they'll get one for Christmas. Bwaahaaahaaaahaaa.

I was watching a biography on the Bee Gees a coupla weeks ago and, I don't care what anybody says, Andy Gibb is still a total hunk! Well...okay, Andy Gibb probably isn't looking so hot these days, but my heart still did a little pitter patter as I watched old video footage. RIP.

Whatever pills she was taking...she wasn't getting them from me! I kept a close eye on my stash.

I'll have you know that somehow my kiddies have been listening to FTBYAM, and so have I, in the car. It was recorded from some scratchy record. How many times do I have to hear "Billy wants a dolly, Billy wants a dolly" sung by Alan Alda? Bwaahaaahaaaahhh is right! Fortunately, the whole thing, while pathetic, is not nearly as subversive as The Simpsons or those gender-neutral Teletubbies, or A Clockwork Orange, especially for pre-teen girls (I'm not sure my kids really "got" the whole Clockwork Orange thing). This weekent, Rocky Horror Picture Show!



Wouldn't share with your lovin' mum? How bad is that.

[ForeverAutumn]

Hmmmmm. Somehow I remember it as Barry wants a doll. Must be those acid flashbacks again.
