Alright, I see. That's some pretty good music, actually. I like most of that stuff. Not much of the Beethoven or Dylan, but I like the others.

coolrazer · 08-10-2008, 08:07 PM

I love Dylan. Good stuff

Damn dude, thanks for the Zep bashing. Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and say your playlist is alright, with the exception of Liz Phair

I'm of the belief that all people between the ages of 9 and 39 should own Exile In Guyville just on principle.

I've only heard "Gimme your HWC", "the Divorce Song" and some other single she had a few years ago, and they didn't really do it for me. You ever heard of a band called Ruins?

I've heard the name somewhere, no idea where though. any songs to look out for? For Phair, check out 6'1.

lolwut? I'm a gen Xer. Only reason I ever listened to Zepplin was because I played guitar, and then I moved on to better guitarists. On the whole, when I was coming up only people who played guitar gave a rat's hind end about Zepplin. Everyone else was either listening to gangster rap or grunge. And IMAO, Zepplin is musically superior to both the genres I just mentioned, with the possible exception of Soundgarden.

for Ratatat. I've got a few vinyl singles on their way, and I hope some of the B-Side songs are just as good as their LP material.

I should rephrase generation x to generation x and late baby boomers. And the point I was making is that Led Zeppelin is just as poppy as the newer teeney acts, they've just got fans who have liked them longer who attach nostalgia to the equation and act like they're a godly band.

Grunge isn't even a valid genre, there's way too much variety under that umbrella for it to all be labelled grunge.

Evil_Wayz · 08-11-2008, 09:32 AM

Back then grunge consisted of like three bands. Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana.

I'm pretty sure the proto-grunge, post-punk likings of The Pixies or Sonic Youth would disagree with you. While not grunge themselves, they certainly influenced a lot more than those 3 bands.

The name grunge is still useless, the music could already fall into other categories (such as noise, general alt, etc.) easily, the name has as much to do with the image of the bands as it does the music. Possibly more.

Evil_Wayz · 08-11-2008, 09:39 AM

Eh I was in school when all those bands descended from Seattle and proclaimed themselves " not alternative, but GRUNGE!" All I know is they knew power chords and didn't have solos, which to me was fail. Incidentally, The Pixies , the Lemonheads and Sonic Youth are way better than most of the Seatlle crowd.

100% agreed, the only reason the Pixies never became a bigger act than they were was because of the timing. I was actually hanging out with the local band a few weekends ago (I was shooting their show) and a guy from one of the bands they were playing with commented that they were thinking of changing their name to "The Faeries". I made the comment that they were getting dangerously close to Pixies territory and I got a blank look from him, he'd never heard of the Pixies before. I wanted to smack him.

Coincidentally, there's also already a 'The Faeries', they're an indie group with a pretty good lo-fi sound.

Speaking of music, my friend got a Mandolin for his birthday. It is really cool. The doubled notes really add a cool sound to it.

Also, after looking at how it is put together, I have decided to put f-holes into the instrument I am making, and use a bridge to carry the resonance from the string to the resonator. Such as on a cello, or mandolin.

So who likes gas station cigars? I got a black and mild yesterday and enjoyed it. Aside from a hookah, the only tobacco product Ive ever tried. I just grabbed some honey backwoods today.

I dont really intend to smoke em too much, but its something I think Ill enjoy every now and then.

drchocolate176 · 08-11-2008, 11:19 AM

Black and Milds dont really qualify as cigars. They still are hella tasty though.

coolrazer · 08-11-2008, 11:26 AM

My best friend and I would always pick up a few strawberry philly blunts to smoke when we went to bonfire parties at night last summer. I don't smoke them anymore, nor do I smoke anything anymore.

I read something the other day that smoking hookah is even more dangerous than smoking cigs. Apparently it puts out the most carbon monoxide of any kind of tobacco product.
