I thought about putting this in the 'deep' section, but maybe it's only me... I just love how Danny Elfman can bash both sides at the same time.




There's nothing wrong with the capitalism
There's nothing wrong with free enterprise
Don't try to make me feel guilty
I'm so tired of hearing you cry
There's nothing wrong with making some profit
If you ask me, I'll say it's just fine
There's nothing wrong with wanting to live nice
I'm so tired of hearing you whine
About the revolution
Or bringin' down the rich
When was the last time you dug a ditch, baby?!

If it ain't one thing
Then it's the other
Any cause that crosses your path
Your heart bleeds for anyone's brother
I've got to tell you you're a pain in the ass
You criticize with plenty of vigor
You rationalize everything that you do
With catchy phrases and heavy quotations
And everybody is crazy but you

You're just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And you tell me that you've got to get back
To the struggling masses (whoever they are)
You talk, talk, talk about the suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain, you dumb fuck?

You got a death wish, child
Four cans of pesticide to drink
4:30 Western Time
The boy's been arrested, why do you think?

Clearly one of the best things and clearly one of the worst things I've ever heard in my entire life...

... how to be brilliant and stupid that the same time, but I simply love this song:

I don't use Spotify but my current recommendations are a compilation by the goth band, Bauhaus, a bit of indie from the latest Lemon Twigs album , with a bit of prog steampunk prog from the band Gandalf's Fist.

At 2:38... probably one of the best laughs I've heard.

SMOOTH... best with the company of la fée verte (in spite of it coming from the Austrian Alps), but keep both ears for the stereo sound. ;)

"We would be ashes
We would be silent and old
We would be wisdom
We would be left in the cold"

I cannot begin to say how much I love this band and wish they still made music...

BONO, THE BIGGEST EGO
I am a fan of physical music, especially music shops which are in steady decline. Believe it or not, I am the CD king, as I believe they are the most durable form of music. The important thing is not CDS, vinyl, but having good speakers.

Anyway, for my recommendation, which unfortunately offers no link( but you can find one easily) I think that U2 are my favourite band of all time.I am album fan, as the album creates the spectrum for a full piece of work and War, The Unforgettable Fire, The Joshua Tree, Achtung Baby, and many other works offer such inspiration, if you are not put off by the great ego of Bono.

I even met someone who said that she had met him and found his egocentricity as abominable. But I find his music, as well as inspiring.

I even find Prince a great example, a big ego even though he was probably about the same size as me.

But, as the CD king I recommend U2, Prince, The Doors, The Psychedelic Furs, Mercury Rev, Biffy Clyro, The The, , My Chemical Romance, Bright Eyes, The Flaming Lips, and so far my favourite album of 2020 is These Times by The Dream Syndicate.

I also like the crossover between genres, metal, goth, indie, dance etc. But the only problem would be that there is so much wonderful music to indulge in rather than the real pursuit of philosophy.

Joni Mitchell, best popular music artist of the now geezer generation. She did everything, and did it all so well, and has such a strong body of work. No 'one hit wonder' that Joni.

:up:

:clap: Lyrics almost don't matter with a voice like Marvin's:



"I Heard It Through The Grapevine" ACAPPELLA (3:13)
written by N. Whitfield & B. Strong, 1966
In The Groove, 1968
performed by Marvin Gaye

I feel I'm in a bit of an ethical quandary.

Where the line between 'sounds like' and 'copy-write violation'?

Probably one of my favorite recently released songs from DIIV "Under the Sun" (a marriage between Joy Division and The Cure) always sounded a bit more than vaguely familiar.

Today going thru some of my unusual CDs I found this and I had a 'that's it' moment.

Now I'm not too sure what to think.

Anyway...

This is DIIV (2015):

and this is Servotron (1998):

:cry:

I'm really not a fan of your musical tastes.

I could care less

Also you like(d) J Peterson. Weirdo.

This shit sucks

ah I don't blame you. Your hearings probably been knocked out of whack by repeated exposure to NYC noise pollution

Exactly. :ok:

In the memory of Alec Baillie :sad:

Stunning, @The Opposite

that's very decent. Cheers

I like Don Cherry, so I wanted to like that, but I just can't stand whispering.

not a fan of this then?

Fair enough. I just love that bassline and how Don sounds like he's being run through Frippertronics or something.
