Quote from: ShanghaiOrangeI actually first heard of Can as one of Sonic Youth's favorite bands. From what I read, they hey sounded interesting: VU, Zappa, and Pink Floyd-inspired. I started out with Monster Movie, but the real best stuff was the Damo Sazuki period. Tago Mago is probably one of my favorite albums ever.

I just got Neu! recently, and it's pretty good, but I like Can better. I've also ordered the first two albums from Faust, which sound like their really fucked up.

I haven't heard any of the Fall though. I've been meaning to start listening to them, but they have so many albums. Where do you think I should start?

The Wonderful and Frightening World of the Fall, This Nation's Saving Grace, and the 458489 a-side and b-side compilations are excellent. I see you're now getting into Gang of Four (or have been into them and are currently spinning their finest moment); if you like that, you're bound to like The Fall, whose music of their prime is looser and odder but similarly catchy in the sly way.

You know how all roads lead back to Morrissey for me? Well, The Fall was one of his most favorite Manchester ("local" for him) groups, so that's how I first got into them. And then they name-checked Damo Suzuki, so.... Thanks again, Mr. Morrissey: You indirectly got me into Can!  :)
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

Cursive - Burst and Bloom ep

Sigur Rós

We have come to a point where everybody has made about 50 posts in this thread. So I think we all now eachothers taste in music quite well. Therefore I suggest we recommend the CD that we are playing to a Xixaxer we think will enjoy it (the album has to be relatively unknown ofcourse).

It's just an idea....

as long as it continues the rule of one cd per post, and no more than two consecutive posts within an hour of each other, with titles for unclear albums.. sure.
under the paving stones.

cron

pubrick note.. to who? read sigur's proposal again.

I recommend this to Godardian! It's really good and messed up and fun. Seriously, listen to it if you haven't yet.

Since By Man - We Sing the Body Electric

reccomended to phil marlowe

Unfortunately, I don't know anyone here but I'll try to learn the "tastes" of others. So I recommend this to all, soul fans, or if you just need good music- just re-released and sounds great.



And if you dig it, don't forget, there is a volume 2. Great stuff.

admin note: next time u flood a thread, we'll just delete all the extra posts.

Dude, I fucking started this thread, I should be able to post in it as I damn well please.  Why is this site always so cocksuck-ish about this stuff?  Now I recall why I don't stay around here long.

Nonetheless: nice job on cleanup.

Oh, and:

You were flooding the thread with one post after another and furthermore, you quoted several album pictures which we've mentioned in YOUR thread MANY times now to NOT do that. If you fucking started this thread, maybe you should've known that.

Quote from: MeshWhy is this site always so cocksuck-ish about this stuff?  
Too much ignorance to even begin answering that stupid question. Not only is it to organize the thread but it's to prevent morons from flooding it without thinking.

Quote from: MeshNow I recall why I don't stay around here long.
Yeah, I guess. Since you quoted ShanghaiOrange  :roll:

Oh and another thing. You created this thread. That doesn't give you creative license to do whatever the hell you want. Flooding is flooding. Live with it.

hm... if i could delete mesh's first post in this thread then it would look like godardian started the thread. :idea:

oops! did i say that out loud?
