Ok, maybe you could say that they are brown metal.

Let's talk shit on Stereolab.

Stereolab don't have a single bad song in their huge discography (even the stuff with NWW!). Brilliant band.

A lot of the rock music I like I'm dead certain hasn't been composed with a mindset that worried about what the analysis of an expert musicologist makes out of it, even the kind that seems to stretche the conventions of what was previously there, or, like I often find now, takes inspiration from the more under-explored corners of otherwise celebrated ''golden eras'' of music. I find the whole debate on the alleged antagonism between pop music/electronic music in general and guitars to be a regurgitation of British music journalism of the now distant past, since time and again, and particularly in the past decade, the instrumentation of a considerable number of rock bands has in many cases evolved from the more prominent set up consisting of just guitar/bass/drums/vox of yore.

Yeah, that's very true - the only exception I'd make is that Dub, certainly 75-83 or so, has some incredibly clever ideas floating about. I think Pablo's really quite astonishing in some of the things he does. But I've got no bones with saying the Happy Hardcore is equally, if not more, formulaic than most other genres. I just happen to think it's a brilliant formula (particularly the continued cod-counterpoint they use).

I think they're good.. I feel there's no 'lack of understanding' and they do what they do like they do because they like it that way..

I don't really see a resemblance with metallica

I don't understand weed music. I don't listen to anything different because I'm smoking which is most of the time. When I get high I am normal and pleasant to be around. I'm not going on some artistic trip. Now ecstacy acid and alcohal are a different story. Your perceptions are greatly altered so I can see where one would pick certain music in these instances.

The only resemblance I see is the loudness and heavy feeling. I absolutley adore Metallica. I have loved them since I was 12 and followed them ever since. If they are metallicaesc I would have picked up on them a lot earlier than I did.

funny I just found an old steriolab CD I forgot about when I was cleaning up my Cd's. I like them still, but I am in a different phase now.

Chemical Chords is pretty rubbisch so is Fab Four Subture. And the groop played has 2 killer songs but the other ones are let downs.

Still Dots and loops, Peng! and tomato are pretty amazing. Great band but just to many rubbish albums to be called amazing

Ephesians 5:18 "and be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit"

bible'll get ya every time

80s pop is awesome for drunk. Crowded House-I Don't Wanna Lose Your Love

Oh and does anyone watch Californication? Rick Springfield played himself in the last season and was a fucking riot. Sample line, "Two nights, 6 chicks, no rubbahs."

I fucking hate the Cure.

I was kidding about Mozart. Though I do prefer Ludwig Van.
