look for Dirt era bootleg concerts...that'll freshen it up for ya, works for all great albums/eras. bootlegs are kinda what made me fall in love with Nirvana's music after Kurt died, as well as the Live Tonight video.
Jar of Flies and Sap are 2 of the best EPs i've ever heard...they're one of the very few bands i've ever known to use EPs as an outlet for their other musical sides and they did it brilliantly. odd other bands don't follow suit.
i LOVED this album so much, listened to it constantly for 2-3 yrs, makes you miss Lane so much hearing it now...same with Jeff Buckley, Nirvana out-takes...without question one of the top heavy albums of all-time, metal/hard rock/grunge whatever.
2 of their top 10 for sure...don't forget about Your Covers Blown, I Love My Car, Piazza...so many, i made my own double cd 'best of' after Write About Love came out, it was hard to choose those top 30 tracks. had to leave out some old favs that i think of as boring, like Fox in the Snow.
of course Moby did it first, he's a tiny lil vegan with nothing else to do anymore...Billy's just now getting to that stage. (though their teeth are suddenly looking very similiar)
i find it ironic that S'gum find B&S worthy of album rankings, YET Write About Love was NOT worthy of being listed as a friggin' Top 50 Album of 2011...RI-diculous. The title track and I Didn't See It Coming make it more than worthy ALONE...add to that 'Little Luke'...the best duet anyones heard in YEARS with Nora Jones, Read the Blessed Pages, a perfect oldschool folk song the whole Joni Mitchell gang woulda loved...I Want the World to Stop...there isn't a weak track on the whole album and it was their best in years. I'm still waiting for their apology to the band.
STELLA!! I'm sure there's a few people here who went to the Radiohead show when this album came out at Alpine Valley, and the radio station there gave out a sampler cd before we left the show with the first single on it...i still remember listening to that on the way home. i knew the song but didn't have the album yet or anything. It also had Dandies 'We Used to be Friends' , OH and uhh Molly's Chambers haha, the 3 good songs on it. that was amazing concert btw...the best.
you can see the emotion there at the end, that's what it's all about...i hope that spurs them on to keep going and NOT let this be their last show, that would be a stupid waste. anyway, 'good on ya' UK, i'm happy for ya, it's been a great fortnight...you won way more medals than anyone thought you would and it was nice having an olympics in an english speaking country again (like Oz 2000) so i could actually enjoy the music and cultural references haha...though RIO should be a blast even though no one on the planet understands Portuguese;)
THANK YOU haha...think tank=NOT a blur album. Why Damon chose to put that thing out under the Blur name is still beyond me, specially since a couple years later he's forming 1 off bands left n right. Musta been trying to stick it to Graham, classic power trip. And it IS a crap mediocre/trying too hard album.
BTW, one of the only stomach-able tracks on Think Tank? it's the hidden track, pause track 1 and go MINUS 5 minutes or so haha...almost forgot about that nugget.
no it's a bona fide Blur song played by their amazing guitarist...UNLIKE the whole Think Tank album featuring a mercenary guitarist which is basically a DAMON dicking around album that sounds nothing like real Blur:)
i was wondering what he was up to these days...i really think he needs to form a 'side' band, get with someone to share the vox and songwriting etc, a female single would be the most logical. and yes the heckler DID deserve the 'fook off wanka tossa shite bawstard!'
hahahahahaha litereally, you couldn't of choses worse songs IF YOU TRIED! most idiotic list EVER. NO Charmless Man? TWO songs from Think Tank, the FAUX 'blur' album that's not EVEN blur?! that brand new song makes the list?! no Girls and Boys?! HILARIOUSLY awful list hahaha, points for being making me laugh though hahaha wow.
87 was really the last hurrah of 80s metal, total downhill FAST once 88 came, Hysteria was the peak for sure. but yes the album definitely deserves respect, it's near flawless.
yeahhhh i hope so BUT...i mean, who's doing Nirvana songs lately? Will Dave Grohl/Foos EVER cover ONE friggin' Nirvana song for ol times sake EVEN?! (and no Marigold does NOT count nerds who think i'm clueless) All i know is way more bands should be doing Nirvana covers at least now n then, where's Radio Friendly Unit Shifter? Where's Breed? Oh actually i stand corrected, i forgot about the Joseph Gordon Levitt cover of Lithium hahaha...SEE WHAT I MEAN?!
if this were a guy singing this i'd probably hate it, but i'm totally ok with a girl doing it, specially if they slow it down and do it stripped, nice job LDR!! (PLUS...im really afraid of Nirvana's music 'dying' so the more covers, by people who can actually DO one, the better...long live Nirvana!!!!)
if you out there love No Code...you need to seriously get your head examined. it was a super quicky album they did instead of touring for Vitalogy cuz they were in that whole ticketmaster war and could only play in like 8 venues on the planet...Hail Hail? how bout SHIT SHIT haha.
yeah OK guy...just cuz in your PJ mind you can imagine Eddy singing that one, which he DID when they played that PJ Fest together right? So what, means nothing, its coincidental, slightly at best.
