Calza Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My friend let me borrow Tori Amos's first two albums, I crucify so far but I will need to listen to them properly before I give a proper review of what I think. He also let me borrow Gling Glo which I've been looking forward to, don't know what to expect though. He also gave me the option of Scouting For Girls, I just stared at him for a while before he put it back him bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 My friend let me borrow Tori Amos's first two albums, I crucify so far but I will need to listen to them properly before I give a proper review of what I think.

He also gave me the option of Scouting For Girls, I just stared at him for a while before he put it back him bag. Tori Amos's music is like a journey. The first one is great, but also very "single"-y. Under The Pink is more expressive. Boys For Pele is just mad. Really raw and visceral. Each album is unique and just amazing. (Except The Beekeeper, where she went all motherly and sings about butterflies and ribbons...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 What the fuck!? The Format have broken up. I wanted to see them tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Okay so its birthday week, which means selfish song requesting at various outlets. Heres the plan so far; Tonight. Club - Klaxons. I want it to be 'Atlantis to Interzone' but they probably won't, so probably going to have to be 'Its Not Over Yet' instead. Wednesday. Work - Was going to be The Wombat's 'Lets Dance to Joy Division' but with The Format breaking up I may ask for something of theirs ('You're Not A Whore' would be nice, but I doubt they would). Although they probably don't have any The Format anyway. Thursday. Club - Bloc Party. Flux. Trying to think of other occassions to edge my taste upon people. Its always fun.

Dan_Dare Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 flux is win, but i hate the wombats so much. Klaxons just...I have no time for them, and they're clearly massively produced and shitty musicians- just watch their 07 glastonbury set and marvel at how piss weak they are.

ipaul Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I used to really like Bloc Party but I don't as much anymore, nowadays I just find them somewhat dull =/ Flux was a bit different but I thought it just sounded like a crappy dance tune. Also Orekeke's voice now grates on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portlett Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 you can probably get a decent ashdown or peavey one for around that price, second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodleman Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I'm going to Glastonbury this year, and if Rage really are playing Reading I will go to that day not arsed about the rest of Reading but the chance to see one of my favouritest bands ever will not be passed up. Even though they wont be as good now and the crowd will be full of 13 year olds who have only heard sleep now in the fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaul Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 you can probably get a decent ashdown or peavey one for around that price, second hand. I'd prefer a new one tbh, not keen on buying a 2nd hand amp =/ Thanks anyway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ipaul Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I have just watched The Chemical Brothers Glastonbury set, it looked (for want of a better term) sick. One of the most intense gigs I have seen, I soooo want to see them live now!! Hey Boy Hey Girl.....just incrdeible really xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paj! Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Tori Amo's cover of Only Women Bleed is just amazing. I mean she always does amazing covers, and makes them her own, but this is really striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hem Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have just watched The Chemical Brothers Glastonbury set, it looked (for want of a better term) sick. One of the most intense gigs I have seen, I soooo want to see them live now!! Hey Boy Hey Girl.....just incrdeible really xD Yes, it's amazing. Saw them in Birmingham in December. Quite a few good videos on YouTube as well. Anything really, I like pretty much all of what you mentioned above, but in particular ambient/trance. Hmm, let me think of some recommendations for you, if you can access these songs then I think you'll like them: Orbital - Halcyon On + On Orbital - Belfast Underworld - Rez The Prodigy - The Narcotic Suite: 3 Kilos Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground Olive - You're Not Alone Boards of Canada - Roygbiv Some albums I'd also recommend: Chicane - Behind The Sun Chicane - Far From the Maddening Crowds Leftfield - Leftism Primal Scream - Screamadelica Aphex Twin - Richard D. James Album Thievery Corporation - The Richest Man in Babylon The KLF - Chill Out As far as ambient/(balearic) trance goes, you'll probably like: Chicane - Saltwater Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Stone's Atlantis Remix) Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar '98 Three Drives - Greece 2000 IIO - Rapture Nalin & Kane - Beachball York - On The Beach ATB - 9pm (Till I come) ATB - Don't Stop Jam & Spoon - Stella Plummet - Damaged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey_T Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm really liking Machine Head's new cd, but gotta listen to it a bit more. Halo is fucking amazing though It really is. Clenching the fists, Aesthetics Of Hate and Halo are amazing. An hours worth of metal genious. The lyrics to Aesthetics of hate are brilliant too.
