I think it's probably an effect of my middle class white American upbringing... but I just don't enjoy the sound of the Spanish language when put to music. French, definitely. German, sure. Icelandic/Norwegian, most definitely. But I simply don't enjoy the sound of the vocals here. The music is quite good, but I find the vocals halting and interrupting.

Great name though.

lol.

Sorry. That was lame.

I've always really liked their music, but like I said, the lyrics and flow of the vocals are halting and disruptive to my senses, so I never get through a full song, much less an album.

I'm down to try, though. Keep posting stuff and I'll keep listening, thoug I've got a couple of their LPs already. I haven't listened to them much, but I'm open to it.

how does that make you a RACIST?
please explain.

DDD, it's funny to call it a town but yes.
my parents knew them back then.

[DeadDiscoDildo]

WHAT?

^^regarding your parents.


And I'm pretty ignorant to that part of the world, other than I know brazil has high crime (big whoops, so does 90% of the world now).

So why would you not consider it a town? is it just really small?

Stammer punk?

Stutter punk? haha

Actually, the Fall are one of my favorites. Hex Enduction Hour would rank among my top 10 albums ever, most likely.

This is a different kind of "halting". I can't explain it. I've said I like their music, I just can't get into the flow of the vocals/lyrics.

that was actually kind of a joke about knee-jerk liberalism.

Kinda like how the more arrogant environmental activists will scream at you for using toilet paper that's distributed by a company that's owned by a company that once supported a senate candidate who wore a jacket that was made by a company that owns a company that clear-cuts old growth forests. Lol.

it's the 5th ot 6th largest city in the world and 3rd largest metropolitan area, one of the most densely populated cities on the planet.

 

My parents went to University in the 60's and met some of the Mutantes people there.

as for the crime rate, i'd say it's pretty high but less than some cities in the US.
They just enjoy making films about it more.

except that the mutantes are very much white.

[Genteel Death]

Check ouy Gal Costa's first album when you have less time to talk shit on here. Great record.

[DeadDiscoDildo]

Will do Genteel. I've had alot less time to talk shit on here lately anyway. My band's playing too many gigs now and instead of finding a day job I decide to spend the little money I have on starting a vinyl collection haha.

I found my dad's old record player still works so I started buying vinyl.

I'm going to be very sad when the needle breaks.

[DeadDiscoDildo]

Spending less time on here has been awesome, because now that I've sucked every bit of enjoyment I can out of sonic youth's music and discussing sonic youth, I'm discovering a shit ton of incredible music & rediscovering music I loved in the past and forgot about.

[Mortte Jousimo]

I have had a great interest to them. I read a review their comeback album Haih or Amortecedor and try to order it, but vinyl was sold out. I have listened some songs from sixties from youtube and like them quite a lot! I will buy their album someday...

There is still needles available, of course it depends what kind of player you have. I have Dual and I just bought it a new needle.

You're missing the point... the point is that a knee-jerk uber-sensitive liberal might accuse me of that. Of ethnocentrism at least. I'm not saying that's actually the case.... just that some idiot might say so.

[knox]

it'd be more like culturalcentrism?
does that exist?

[Gulasch Noir]

I like the original version of ando meio desligado much more than the version sung in english (i feel a little spaced out) on Tecnicolor. Gotta love the Romance languages!
