another music thread
Gid moaning. I have recently been introduced to Galaxie 500 and have taken my first steps into the world of music blogging. What musics have you lot discovered/ been introduced to and has it led on to anything else?

As a lifelong lover of jazz, I was introduced to Scat
I do not wish to speak of what it led to.

but then I remembered that blogs are gay and stopped immediately.

Ignore this lot,
as you'll see in the previous thread, a lot of them are drinking subpar uncaffeinated hot beverages and as such are bitter and grumpy at this time of the morning.

Well, moreso than usual.

Hehe
I like that idea actually: blunder into work as usual, the tube's been crowded, the weather's shit and I've got a load of crap to do that I really can't be arsed with...but at least I'm not as much of a cunt as Bowie. Now GIVE ME MY COFFEE!

I wrote a review once for a Lostprophets album
and decided to post a message on their MySpace page (this was a while ago) telling them about it.

They did not reply.

Bastards.

Was the review bad?
Lostprophets are shit.
(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Tue 16 Mar 2010, 10:33, Reply)

It was pretty good, but I was blinded by my affection for the previous albums
I did begin the review by pointing out that they were a bunch of pretentious hypocrites. Not the best way to make friends and influence people. Which, as we all know, is a 1994 Terrorvision album. Duh.

Gives me an idea though
Does anyone know if David Bowie has a myspazz page?

Yeah, what exactly is Monty's problem with Le Bowie?
Just out of interest

I believe this is from around the same time
that the word 'helmet' came back into common parlance on QotW. I don't think I'll ever tire of this vitriolic rant, or the well-placed use of the word 'helmet.'

Twitter. The most pointless creation to gain mass popular acclaim since Britpop

I'll wager a hefty sum no-one is bothering with it in two years' time.

I really hope you're right
But our celebrity culture ensures that as long as there are conceited idiots who get their kicks from updating 100,000 people they've never met on what they had for breakfast, there'll be fucktards who want to read about Lily Allen's bowel movements

Holy shit, this guy is awesome.

If you like instrumental prog/metal/post rock. I've been caning it for days. Also, the guy gives away his music for free, as he has no need or want to make a typical 'music career' out of it.

Fantastic.

I thought you were referring to an extremely obscure hip hop release on classic independent label Fondle 'Em, the Cloudkickers EP.

But you aren't. Fucking great record though.
