JAMC used to bore me a little too. I get that. Honestly I really wanted all of their music to be as grand and epic yet still searingly loud as "Just Like Honey." It took me a while to see the charm of their music. Much like Spiritualized and Spacement 3, there's a lot of "sameness" to JAMC, and at first it can sound a bit plodding. But soon I started to hear the Beach Boys in their music, drowning in an ocean of reverb, and that just fascinated me.
So even though a lot of their music sounds the same, it doesn't matter because the music's awesome. Awesome + awesome = MORE awesome. But they're also one of those bands that I like to hear build a song up out of and alternate takes (like the Lips in the '80s and early '90s). A lot of the songs start out with the same elements but end up working on totally different levels. I think this is why I like listening to the Power of Negative Thinking and Barbed Wite Kisses and 21 singles. I like hearing the JAMC process. Kickass fuckin' rock band man. |

Dude you got a little weird last time we talked about ween. I think you ended up insulting me for liking ween at the end there. Can't be sure sometimes with you though. |
did he? Prob not for real. Pepper lovesss Ween. For real.

Yeah, probably not for real. I know he loves Ween, because he and I were both like, "yeah Ween!!" for a good page before he said something that made me go "what the hell?"
I'm not in a very Weeny place at the moment. I've actually been struggling to find shit that fits my mood lately. I went through a mega Beatles phase that lasted a few weeks and actually had me conversing with my father for a while. Since then I had some PJ Harvey time and have otherwise been just scrolling through my iPod looking for something to make me happy. I usually stop on Aphex Twin after going through the entire alphabet. Man, what's good y'all? |

Aluk Todolo White Hills Goat All quite good. |

I LOVE New Day Rising big time. awesome record.
JAMC? not so much. Their music lacks something I cannot place, something that would draw me in more, instead, it lulls me to boredom.... I guess it was "noisy" guitar rock for people who think distortion is the pedal the Edge uses on EVERY FUCKING U2 SONG EVER........ |
I'm in the market for some new electronic shit. It's a new year, usually those guys are on the ball, and the techno, house and footwork shit is dropping like bombs by February.
