I wonder if she's listened to the c.d., much more appreciated it. Actually, the image is pretty dadaesque, very surreal in it's unreality. Post Edited (08-26-06 12:07)by Manila Syndicate
*sigh* The passage of time. And to think that at the beginning of the year I was giving the man a tribute here on his 60th. Long live the man and his music. The Floyd were at their best with him. Post Edited (08-09-06 15:03)by Manila Syndicate

Two Psychedelic legends gone in the space of a month. Relistening to Love now makes me appreciate more the enduring quality of their music.by Manila Syndicate
"I've got "No Time Like the Right Time" by the Blues Project stuck in my head after induling in selections from all three Nuggets box sets this past weekend." Good song and those "Nuggets" boxed sets are Stonehenge to Rock audiophiles.by Manila Syndicate
"Houses of the Holy" by Led Zeppelin. I've been listening quite frequently to "Physical Graffiti" lately, tuning in to random tracks here and there, and that song stands out. Classic Page riff and a quite lilting tone which still pleases as it did since time immemorial.by Manila Syndicate
Congratulations rhett. How about Ugly Kid Joe's version of "Cat's in the Cradle"?. Not the most indie-correct group to mention but the track's listenable and the lyrics will always be relevant. Don't play Richard Hell & the Voidoids "The Plan" with your daughter.by Manila Syndicate
Good playlist.by Manila Syndicate
Heh, i find it amusing enough that you mention him. I didn't even know he split up with that actress wife of his.by Manila Syndicate
Good thread Shizzle. For me there's no "better" one. Both scenes made important and distinct contributions. What makes both fascinating and relevant are their respective styles. The NY scene was more eclectic, while the London one more uniform in sound. The British punks popularised and defined the genre to posterity, but as Richard Hell said, "we we're more interestingby Manila Syndicate
Thanks. I recently discovered the site and have been enjoying it. It is indeed quite addictive, and a goldmine for viewing videos of non-mainstream artists.by Manila Syndicate
Allman Brothers Band - "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" Rush - "YYZ" Santana - "Soul Sacrifice" Joy Division - "Incubation" Propaganda - "Jewel"by Manila Syndicate
Shizzle: I share the same line of reasoning when judging recordings.by Manila Syndicate
I've been enjoying the works of the two "Vegetable Men" of Rock, Syd Barrett and Roky Erickson, particularly the groups they respectively are most known for. True visionaries and talented artists, the broad range of their efforts were ironically fueled by the muses that eventually undermined them. And since the Madcap turned 60 a little over a week ago, this is some sort of tribuby Manila Syndicate
"What is that album like 205 minutes?". ( lol )by Manila Syndicate
Not an expert, never really cared much for them. They were exactly a "quasi-Spice Girls group" as you described them. Disposable pop, really. They did a cover of Blondie's "The Tide is High" which was listenable because they barely deviated from the original. They were pretty and charming girls though and you could like them for that.by Manila Syndicate
Good post Shizzle. "Automatic for the People" is a good c.d. and was part of the group's early-mid 90's run before Bill Berry left and it was never the same. It's one of their best recordings, but certainly not their best. Blur's one of my fave British groups of the 90's and their individual c.d.'s are always a listening experience. "The Great Escape&by Manila Syndicate
James K: Those are great songs. Listening to "Shed No Tears" and "(I Saw You) Shine", one could immediately tell that this was no typical punk band. Post Edited (02-09-06 23:57)by Manila Syndicate
Best recording by a New York band for me would be "The Velvet Underground & Nico". Perhaps the best and most influential from that part of town. It's nice to see Strokes fans here. Theire the only Rock group I listen to nowadays. Thank God that such a group exists to make listenable music in these times. "Room on Fire" is a slight improvement over it's predecessby Manila Syndicate
"Best of 2005 " - isn't that an oxymoron?by Manila Syndicate
Good mention of The Smiths.by Manila Syndicate
There's an 80's song with a chorus that goes something like this, "Asia, you're all I hear and all I see...". Then there follows a lovely and stirring oriental instrumental that compliments it. Could anyone tell me the name of the artist and the song?by Manila Syndicate
"Raw Power". "Fun House" is a strong set but theire not the Allmans, so the jamming can get a bit too long and wearying at times. "Raw Power" is a bit less consistent, but it gets to the point. And how.by Manila Syndicate
Well, you sure told us what your interests are.by Manila Syndicate
A marketing ploy.by Manila Syndicate
I agree with your views. It's all very corporate to me - MTV in suits and gowns. It's nice to know U2 beat out Mariah though, for whatever theire worth nowadays.by Manila Syndicate
"5:15" would be by The Who.by Manila Syndicate
What's wrong with change?by Manila Syndicate
There was never any overinflated media hype surrounding Nirvana; certainly not any more than other bands of the time. In the early 90's the group was seen as one among many talented artists. They were credited with opening the doors for the Grunge and Alternative genre to the mainstream and the groups that comprised it but that was about it. Pearl Jam had as much media coverage, perhaps evenby Manila Syndicate
I agree. "Nevermind" is best appreciated in occasional doses, but once done, no other recording exists. Post Edited (02-05-06 21:08)by Manila Syndicate
