MUSIC: the official thread.

Never mind, found the list

I have 18

That list is absolute SHITE, by the way

 

I love TV on the Radio. They're the best band since the Pixies.

 

Hut, you remember the Clothes Show theme on a Sunday evening? That were a banger, aye?

 

don't think i ever saw it, mate. The Youtube search is just 3 pages of Gok Wan mincing around telling fat birds with skin problems they're beautiful

Found it, yeah that's pretty bangin'. Totally Hacienda.

 

Isn't it just!

I got 48....but when I finished I thought to myself, 'why do I have even that many'?

 

Yeah, it is ridiculous. There's so many on there that aren't even particularly GOOD

There's many things not on there at all

It's the list of a 22 year old guy who likes Greil Marcus and Robert Christgau a lot::

 

I know there are some Oasis haters on this site but I miss the fighting Gallagher brothers. (Noel doesn't like the way Liam is singing "Whatever" so Liam tells him "fuck off and sing it yourself." So he does.)

I really liked their first four LPs and all the b-sides. (Most people got off the train after two LPs.) After 2000, I only liked a few songs here and there. They just weren't the same band. I do want to read Tony McCarrol's(original drummer's) tell all book. It was a common belief that Liam and Bonehead were the wankers of the band and Noel (though a control freak) and Guigsy were the calm ones that kept the band together. In his book, he portrays it the opposite way and he was there. That Liam and Bonehead were alright while Guigsy and Noel were backstabbing cunts.

 

:giggle:

 

Noel is a much better singer than Liam

 

That was one of the least shite Liam vocal performances I've ever heard. He normally sounds like he's trying to sing while shitting glass

 

Liam was a good singer before he became a parody of himself and started prnouncing every word as 'eeeeerrrrrwwweeeesrrsssewwwrrr'

I really liked that clip. I love seeing the original five Oasis members (although I preferred Alan White on drums over Tony McCarroll.)

 

Yes. Noel returned from a tour as a roadie with Inspiral Carpets and joined his little brother's band. The story is that once he seized control of the band he made it a rule that they would practice seven days a week until they made it big or in his words "became the biggest fucking band in the world." One day they all turned up for band practice minus Bonehead. He aksed where he was. Guigsy told Noel that Bonehead isn't going to make it because he had to move house that day. Noel phoned Bonehead and told him to come and get his equipment because he was out of the band. He did let him back in but the message was sent. No one skips band practice for any reason. He did eventually kick Bonehead out of the band in 2000 after an incident while they were recording their fourth LP in France.

 

Inevitably the original Oasis will reunite in the future. Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Guigsy, with the only exception being Whitey on drums other than McCarroll, who sued the band and wrote a tell all book about them. They'll be a novelty act. Playing(poorly) 95% tunes from the first two LPs. And they'll still sell out huge venues and make loads of cash.

 

cdogg, can you suggest a jazz song that is fun to play and not overly complicated? I need to learn somthing new.

 

Sure... some easier ones...

"Perdido", "All Blues", "C Jam Blues", "Tenor Madness", "Song For My Father" are very straightforward tunes

The heads on the last two are pretty tricky, but the chrod progressions are very straightforward and good for soloing

 

I'll check them out.

 

I'll Holler 5000

 

Do you learn anything from tabs?

 

Cdogg, this is stupidly open ended but do you have any commentary on the lead guitar on Marque moon from a style or theory POV? It sounds very 'un-bluesy' to me if that means anything.... the lead work towards the end of friction for example

 

Oasis is shit.

 

no, I can't read that stuff, really

same with sheet music

it's all Calculus to me
