Well, if that's the case, we really ought to put some effort into convincing him to show up and play—or at least get his former bandmates on board... though honestly, having the whole crew together would be even better, wouldn't it?

["No, there is absolutely no way they would do something that blatantly stupid or unrealistic given the circumstances; a rational person simply wouldn't act that way in such a high-stakes situation. If they even have enough sense to function at all."] And then? They go ahead and do exactly that.

This Kurt is no more. It has ceased to be—it’s officially expired and gone to meet its maker. We are talking about a very late Kurt here; it's a stiff, really. Bereft of Life , IT rests in peace. Honestly, if you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would probably still be pushing up the daisies, wouldn't it? But no, the curtain has been drawn and it has joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-Kurt.
Did anyone else pick up the "Earth is not..." CD at the show and notice some serious Crunching during the first track? It’s honestly a bit disappointing that they’d sell CDs with a defect like this—unless, of course, I’m just having a run of bad luck here :2up:
Anyway, I shot an email over to the label, but I haven't heard back from them yet...
Elizabeth Ruiz2 Is Mull Historical Society a British band???
Yep—actually a Scot group, if you can tell by the name (assuming you have at least a basic grasp of geography!)🙂 I actually spent some time listening to "Loss" about two years back, though I grew tired of them pretty quickly since every single track feels identical... I didn't even bother picking up last year's album (well, downloading it, anyway)
Simple Life said:So you’re telling me you listen to maybe 100 to 200 albums a year—which means THAT is how you can justify putting together such an massive list of "best" albums?
Well, yeah—I mean, otherwise, nobody would ever take us seriously, right? but honestly... what you're actually getting at is that the specific artists appearing on these lists bother you, isn't that it?
2. Do Make Say Think ~ Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn 3. Xiu Xiu ~ a Promise 4. Thermals ~ more Parts per Million 5. you Forgot IT in People 6. Meadowlands 7. Televise 8. Everything is Good here / please Come home 9. Supper 10. Blood Brothers ~ Burn piano Island, Burn 11. 11. Stephen Malkmus 12. Shins ~ Chutes Too Narrow 13. 13. Bon Iver ~ master & Everyone 14. 14. Calexico ~ Feast of Wire 15. 15. Constantines ~ Shine a light
Is there anything quite like that pure, unadulterated piano magic? I was just sitting here thinking about "Son de Mar"—there’s just something about those melodies that hits you right in the soul, isn't there? It’s one of those pieces that makes you want to stop everything, pour a coffee, and just... exist for a moment. Does anyone else find themselves completely lost in those keys? It’s truly transformative. sonic youth — oh, where do I even begin? There’s just something about that specific wall of sound—that beautiful, chaotic friction—that stays with you long after the record stops spinning. It makes you wonder, doesn't it? Does music ever truly stop being part of our DNA once we've let it in? For me, it's always been about that raw, unpolished energy... that feeling of being right there in the room when the feedback starts to swell. It’s more than just noise; it’s an atmosphere. A mood. A whole different way of existing in the moment. Neil Young... specifically that haunting, stripped-back beauty of "Dead Man." It’s one of those tracks that just lingers in the air long after the final note fades, isn't it? There is something so profoundly raw about his delivery—it feels less like a performance and more like someone letting you in on a secret they've been carrying for decades. I often find myself wondering if he realizes how much weight those simple chords carry? It’s almost meditative, though perhaps a bit somber for a sunny afternoon in Chicago. Just a thought. Coil ~ Hellraiser (sad that it was never actually used for a movie...)

...and honestly, this might even be better. By the way—does anyone happen to have any intel on "Neuromancer"?... Like, when is it happening, what’s the deal, or if it's even still in the works? (I remember hearing somewhere a while back that Chris Cunningham had picked up the project...)

Oh, wow—well, that is actually fantastic news! 🙂 ...but it makes me wonder, who on earth would end up directing it? (I just pray to God it isn't P J 🙂 )
