being a cop wold be great

I would detain weed dealers, give them a harsh talking to, confiscate their weed, then let them go witha warning and smoke till the coes come home.

they all do it.

I see what yr saying, but on a personal level have to say it doesnt really work that way with me. Often times I like those sorts of collections more than a bands' "regular albums". Like say ELECTRORETARD by the Melvins, or f'ing INCESTICIDE for instance. In a way b-sides collections work as a better greatest hits... because they tend to show of the extreme tangents bands might venture into.

And if I'm being totally honest, my favorite track on INSTRUMENT is "I'm So Tired," and nothing on their studio albums sounds like that song. Right?

PAULYBEE2656 · 08.28.2008, 12:03 PM

i never got the whole fugazi thing at all.. they are ok but no more..
same with the meat puppets and melvins.....

GravitySlips · 08.28.2008, 12:17 PM

I don't feel weird about not having listened to something...if I really want to try and get into it, I'll eventually get round to it.

as for bands/artists don't "get" the reverence for...hmmm.

Devo
Elliott Smith
Ween
Deerhunter
Clinic

I have respect for all those bands, they just do nothing whatsoever to impress me with their music.

atsonicpark · 08.28.2008, 12:21 PM

Agree with all those bands except for Devo.

acousticrock87 · 08.28.2008, 12:35 PM

Oh Ween. Haven't heard them once in my life. My friend even gave me this huge rant on why I need to put down the CDs I'm about to buy and get something by them. I picked up a CD, said okay I'll buy this, and then put it down when he wasn't looking.

noisereductions · 08.28.2008, 12:45 PM

Sebadoh = hit or miss
Devo = ridiculously awesome
Elliott Smith = very good singer/songwriter (but there's others)
Ween = funny/interesting at first, but lost my interest 2 or 3 albums ago.
Deerhunter = awesome
Clinic = terrible

atsonicpark · 08.28.2008, 01:02 PM

I got a Ween cd once I found on the side in a parking lot. It's the one where the cd is all white. It's terrible. Everything I've heard by them sucks except a few songs on the Mollusk.

I found a burnt cd at the some time that had a big skull drawn on it and it said "rawr!!!!!!!!!!" It was misfits - static age. Sweet.

king_buzzo · 08.28.2008, 01:04 PM

captain beefhart
the clash
fugazi
radiohead

noisereductions · 08.28.2008, 01:08 PM

I only have SAFE AS MILK by Beefheart. And really, I've never payed a lot of attiontion to it whilst listening. I mean. I know "Electricity?"

atsonicpark · 08.28.2008, 01:12 PM

To paraphrase John Peel, Captain Beefheart is probably the only musician to deservedly be called a genius.

Easily my most-listened to artist of all time; I pull out one of his albums once a week.

Safe as Milk doesn't even begin to help you understand Beefheart. Get lick my decals off baby.

king_buzzo · 08.28.2008, 01:14 PM

^ its not that i dont like him, i've never listened to him

I know Buzzo. I was just giving my reccomendation.. and replying to noiseredux.

noisereductions · 08.28.2008, 01:21 PM

Thanks atsonic (& howd you know the redux slang?).

And yeah, really same as buzzo... just never listened to him much. Sometimes I have to "be in the mood" to actually open up and discover some new body of work (like my recent delving into FZ). Just haven't itched for Beefheart enough yet.
