Neglected Fields - The Spectator

This Latvian progressive death band progressively becomes less progressive and more death. I like that.

Hee, my Last.FM top artist for this week is The Gone Jackals, the group who contributed to the soundtrack to Full Throttle.

That's what happens when I start pining for the game to be supported by ScummVM DS.

I've just been listening to Breathe Me by Sia.

I should check out more of the Jenny Lewis and the Watson Twins, I really like what I've heard so far. Oh, and Starlight Express? Admit it Lacey - you wish you could be on How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?

No. I'm not big on solo singing in public. Now if there were a programme searching for someone to conduct...

thom yorke, "the eraser."

it's not a terrible album. it's also not a great album.

like everyone else before me, i will say two things about this:

it's almost completely coherent. also, it's /very/ much some of the best vocal work thom yorke has done in a /long/ while.

It wouldve been better if you werent expecting something of radiohead style and quality.

np: smashing pumpkins - mayonnaise

hammerite:

i wasn't, exactly. i'd heard "analyze" and "barrowdown hill" quite some time before the rest of the album and i liked those well enough. i /like/ the album. i just don't think that it's totally stellar. as others have pointed out, i don't think he took as many chances as he might have done if it were a radiohead record.

on the plus side, i admire mister yorke. that was brave. also, i think he made the record he set out to make, which is wonderful. i enjoy it, and will listen to it along with the rest of the radiohead catalogue, but i tend to think of him as more risk-taking than "the eraser" suggests.

hammerite:

i figured you might.

it amuses me greatly that people seem to think that he /is/ radiohead, when that's not the truth at all. radiohead is all of them put together. while i do think of thom as the risk-taking one, i also think that there's a great deal of input that goes on behind the scenes from the other members. he's just the most vocal person in the band.

[this conversation got me to listen to the album again, i'm presently sitting at analyze. which is an awesome song.]

Your avatar is horrible, you're a horrible little man and you should not quote NIN in your sig. That said, everyone else is a horrible horrible little man in this thread except for me.

I am now listening to the album of the Future Sound of London - Dead Cities
