True. And it's shit. Two good reasons not to include it.

Derek 10.26.2008 12:36 PM

Pookie, do you like ANYTHING? Do you even listen to music? Seriously...


I like DJ Rick's list, that guy is hella cool.

Glice 10.26.2008 01:08 PM

Boo. Down with Pookie criticism. Boo I say.

Derek 10.26.2008 01:23 PM

Oh come on, I've never heard the guy say anything positive about any band discussed.

Too bad you think so, "Space Ritual" is my pick for most epic live recording ever. But it came out in 74, how the fuck could anyone think it was from the 80s? The inside cover features tons of shots of a young Lemmy, who by the 80s was old and already in Motorhead for years. So the person who thought it was made in the 80s has obviously never seen the actual physical copy of the album, and therefore assumed that the Fururist Sci-Fi Glam-Psych Prog Rock general headfuckery could never be made prior to 1980. But amazingly, this shit was mid 70s, 74' if I assume correct.

Meh. He makes me laugh. I'm sure he like some music. I don't think I've ever known him to post anything that made me despair for the state of the world as we know it, and there's not many people doing that at the moment.

Edit: I looked through some of his threads. He likes the Cramps. And anyone liking the Cramps doesn't have to be positive about anything else, because the Cramps are fucking awesome. It would seem he likes Takemitsu as well, which is a fair sign of having better taste than most of the turd that's dredged about here.
