  4. f***in right gotta get back to Japan and Indonesia and see more of Vietnam and see anything of Burma Myanmar and and and
  5. Chilliwack? Asia? China Crisis? Alabama Shakes? Hyderabad Company? Styx? Beach Boys? Heaven 17?
  6. Mozart rules, Hindemith drools! -Rushhead666
  7. A little Mozart party music: The title translates to "Lick Me in the Arse." Who says classical music is dull?
  8. As can dying young. Getting old is just another stage of life; a time to start slowing down and focusing on the things that are really important. Like posting a buncha shit on a band forum

  10. "Albino: the "real" white meat!" - Ted "I didn't poop my pants" Nugent
  11. Dunno about phony, but forced...yes! "Hey there, Blunderbuss! Sorry you're in jail, and I really shouldn't complain, but yet I will. Americans are fat. I saw a bird." The letters also seem like padding. Lots and lots of padding. The book needed serious pruning, which he was apparently uninterested in. Jack Kerouac disease: "I mean what I write, so don't change a word." I'll admit the quantity of the letters was perhaps a bit much, even with the omissions to avoid repetition, though I suppose they did advance the story. As for the actual content, I dunno, I read it as authentically Neil, and I had to believe that the tone of them was appropriate (Brutus being a close friend of his). Still, the entire chapter of "Letters to Brutus" could have been condensed. Wait a sec, there were omissions to avoid repetition? :o But what about all the remaining needless repetition? :P A good editor would've helped, although NP apparently balked at the idea. I understand NP not wanting to do too many rewrites, but that's what good writers do. There is a very compelling story hiding in the book, but NP wasn't interested in telling it, which is why the "redemption" he finds at the end seems anti-climatic. The album kicks ass though.
  12. Forever Changes rules. If you haven't, check out "Forever Changes Live" (with Arthur Lee) at Glastonbury 2003. It's pretty damn good. "You Set the Scene" is one helluva song.
  13. Because they frequently wander away from their keyboards? Because they're trying to keep you in suspense? Because they don't know how or where to deploy an ellipses? What are boomers? Explosive technicians?
  14. That second gif is certainly interesting :o Looks like a kung-fu movie that I need to see! I wanted to use the overflowing milk scene from "The Girl Can't Help It", but the gif was a little too subtle :P
  15. Revolver, Fresh Cream, Black Monk Time. (sassy guitar at 1:57) monks! :haz:
  16. :goodone: They have never really done much for me. They're about as prog as a bunch of old dad rockers wearing black wigs and tight pants to look "trendy". Don't forget gratuitous use of crows!
  17. I'm going to wade into dangerous territory --- Do you think those letters to Brutus read as a little phony? Dunno about phony, but forced...yes! "Hey there, Blunderbuss! Sorry you're in jail, and I really shouldn't complain, but yet I will. Americans are fat. I saw a bird." The letters also seem like padding. Lots and lots of padding.
