i saw frank black at leeds last year
it was an amazing experience, but the catholics are never gonna be the pixies.

matt · 24th December 2002, 12:50 PM

I really can't listen to frank black and the catholics. i don't know what it is about them, i can't just have them on to listen to, or in the background for that matter.

mike lennie · 24th December 2002, 01:08 PM

i know what you mean.
the catholics are good, but cos every pixies album is so different i always just reach for one of them.
theres something about joey santiago's guitar playing i really like. its really amatuer but it does the trick.

matt · 24th December 2002, 02:39 PM

i liked the way pixies stuck nice little guitar patterns on top of pretty simple bass lines. i think it's a winning formulai think.

mike lennie · 25th December 2002, 11:08 PM

whats your fave pixies song?
mines is motorway to roswell

St.Magumba · 26th December 2002, 12:58 PM

I was always a big fan of ' Digging For Fire '.

However Husker Du , Sugar and any other Bob Mould incarnation really turned me on to music.

Particularly the Copper Blue album.

Classic!!!

mike lennie · 26th December 2002, 01:55 PM

yeah husker du and sugar were fantastic, just stear well clear of the workbook album <img border="0" alt="[Barf]" title="" src="graemlins/barf.gif" />

St.Magumba · 26th December 2002, 05:44 PM

Love Dinosaur Jr.

What is J.Mascis up to this weather?

Last thing i heard was the excellent ' All the Girls ' from him and the Fog.

I wish i was a teenager again!

Sniff!

mike lennie · 28th December 2002, 04:52 PM

that would be me i believe.
its shit being a teenager just now, cos you have to work hard to find out about all the cool bands that you grew up with, like gang of four and redd kross and the likes

St.Magumba · 28th December 2002, 05:03 PM

Well that little side road has taken us full circle back to Nirvana. I loved being a teenager listening to all the top bands of the time, the difficulty though was keeping up with the buggers! There was just so much good music kicking about. The bad thing though was pigeon-holing by the record companies and by the fans themselves. These days i dont care if a band is punk, metal, rap, etc. At the end of the day its all rock'n roll. Nirvana were one of those bands that blurred the lines. Nirvana made me glad to be 17. Nirvana got me wanked off by a 22 year old student teacher. Nirvana may not have been the ' most important band in the world ' but people will remember what they were doing the first time they heard them.

mike lennie · 28th December 2002, 05:11 PM

thats cool, nearly all the bands that are important to me had their hayday in the late eighties, ive never found a scene that i fitted into cos everyone else like me is way older, or has "grown up" and left their teenage angst days behind them and got a job, the only band i really have are idlewild and their about to eat the world and lose all their passion and appeal.
