'Lifelines' by A-Ha is a top piece of Adult Contemporary that should manage to quell Sensei's recent petulant outburst to a bone fide footballing legend. The cheek.
Great harmonies. That, surely, is what it's all about......
Very apropos that we allude to RealPlayer in a thread which involves downloaded choons and, inevitably, the internal electronic media outlet (or player) needed to hear such Eurodung. The wit never stops.
A-Ha probably would have gone away and died if it wasn't for the faithful pandering of 80s children like yourself (it is so time to flush your Devo cassettes, Ian). I blame the Mexicans for keeping Morissey alive. But I'm still looking for a culprit responsible for the longevity of the Manic Street Preachers.
Mexico's been kind to Morrissey after he left his wallet in el Segundo. I'll have you know, however, that I never liked Devo, Michael.
I heard the new Coldplay album yesterday and it's genius from start to end. Even Jinky should give it a chance after his refusal to listen to 'In My Place' any more than 1,874 times in a day. Exquisite.
The Crystal Method's remix of Rage Against the Machine's "Renegades of Funk"
This isn't all that new, but it's been re-released on TCM's new compliation, Community Service. Rage's version is good, but this version is . . . well . . . really, very, quite . . . um, bad. I've only decided to keep it on my hard drive because it completes the set.
On the other hand, P.O.D.'s "Boom" isn't all bad -- as far as inner-city techno-hip-hop goes.
Looking back, that Elvis remix is by JXL. You can find it without difficulty on your local thieving software.
Don't waste your bandwidth or dineros with the new David Gray offering, 'New Day at Midnight'. He's only managed to write two half decent songs this time out and that's only because two of them don't sound like Tracey 'Her with the Fast Car Who Won't Fcuk Off' Chapman.
It's been too long. It gets lonely wandering the halls of this thread on my own.
The orange M is the award-winning design favoured by the Meralomas. I like to stick to my roots.
Jwalk- A Night on the Rocks is a good listen though this lot are from Manchester (cool). There's another band called Jwalk out 'there' from Abbotsford who sing about how clever Jesus was and spend a great deal of effort bothering God with their 'music' (not cool).
I haven't seen the packaging for the new Thievery Corporation. Why don't you ask a few more rhetorical questions?
Big Boutique II can fcuk right off. Not because it's a bad CD but because the memories of that particular event, in my admittedly small and rather insignificant world, are those I'm rather keen to forget. Fcuking women.
I shall endeavour to find the Jazzanova (though their name inspires very little confidence and makes me reasonably angry) and Trevor Jackson though I can listen to Trevor Jackson anytime I like on Kiss 100. That's free.
All I can offer up today is that the new Sigur Ros is 'nice' in a lo-fi art-wank 'we're from Scandinavia somewhere and, therefore, we can get away with being fcuked up' way. Royksopp have just re-released the stouthearted classic 'Poor Leno' with new mixes. That and keep listening to Kosheen's 'Hungry' repeatedly with the windows open so as to annoy the neighbours as much as possible.
If I'm not mistaken, which I rarely am, I believe hedkandi is referring to the big reg target symbol on the lush forest green background of the new Thievery Corporation sheedee. And I'm not sure why it looks like that either.
A few tracks for your listening pleasure. Some may be old. So fcuk off in advance.
Looper's "Mondo '77" has its moments, unfortunately the track has been pimped by the Vanilla Sky soundtrack, and for some reason doesn't appear on their self-titled debut.
DJ Shadow's latest effort, "Private Press" is brilliant throughout. No need to extoll the virtues of individual cuts, as this sonic landscape doesn't even require a skip-track button.
Beck's "Sea Change" is a big, slow step down from Midnight Vultures. He's gone from campy kitsch to morbid Bjork in a hurry. It's an interesting album, sounds as if he's been listening to Sigur Ros in between heavy doses of Bob Dylan and Badly Drawn Boy. Take that for what it's worth.
Download away. Their 2001 album, '604', is a classic and they're set to release their newest album 'Light and Magic' on the 4th Dec. For you lucky bastards with kazaa at your disposal try their new single '17' and go from there. You can thank me for this later.
Joy Division meets Kraftwerk in a dimly lit side alley bar in which Beck is pulling pints and the Beastie Boys have brazenly declared squatter's rights upstairs.
Roots w/Cody ChesnuTT - "Seed". This shite is tight, yo.
DJ Shadow - "Six Days". Inexplicably packaged with a dull remix featuring Mos Def. Cop the original.
Johnny Cash - "Hurt". The Man in Black seemingly croons his own obit courtesy of Trent Reznor. Not the most uplifting track ever produced. And the video is downright morbid.
In deference to the dearly-departed HedKandi I broke down and bought the new Hed Kandi 'Winter Chill' compilation on the weekend during my, 'one for them, two for me,' Christmas shopping session that lasted 38 minutes. And cost £200.00.
Highlights of the 'tight, yo' (copyright Sensei Hanson, 2002) compilation include the sublimely sexual 'Jericho' by the woesomely underrated Weekend Players. Worth the £14.99 for this track alone. Or you could just download it off the 'net. Cnuts.
The biggest surprise comes from the fact that 'Winter Chill' also includes a rather good Moby track. Another oxymoron if ever there was one.
My Christmas gift to you is to print the tracklisting so you can just nip off to Kazaa and have the lot for nowt. Which I can't do. Cnuts. I've just saved you well over $30.00. Thank me later.
