Anyone have a listen to the new Zebra and Giraffe cd? Comment 1, posted at 13.12.10 12:02:23 by Clayton(PJLD)

I’m going to start off by shamelessly plugging MY band http://www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk/ I call them MY band cos I own a 10000th share in them… if they make it big, I will probably make like £100 🙂 Comment 2, posted at 13.12.10 12:02:44 by robdylan

@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 1) : no – keep seeing references to this band on Twitter, but haven’t actually heard them. Is it a SA act? Comment 3, posted at 13.12.10 12:07:48 by robdylan

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 19) : dude… they were formed in 1978 and released their first album in 1981 🙂 All their best work was done in the 80s! Comment 20, posted at 13.12.10 13:09:38 by robdylan

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 19) : I struggle a bit with other 80s bands, though… there were lots of them that I loved at hte time, but few really translate well now. An the reunion thing is just appalling… every man and his dog has now got back together for one last pop at fame. I reckon of the bands that I used to like back then, it’s only really A-Ha that I can still stand now. Along with DM, of course, but they just never stopped. Comment 21, posted at 13.12.10 13:11:19 by robdylan

Def leppard, Guns n Roses, Depeche mode, ZZ Top, Alphaville, Chess, The Cars, Crowded house, The cure, Siouxie and the Banshees, Terence trent D’arby, Erasure, Eurithmics, Foreigner, Frankie goes to hollywood, Tears for Fears, Yazoo, Midge Ure, Cindy Lauper…too name a few!

Was listening to Maxwell while working on my paper last week: great lounge music. Have a listen to “Changed” if you are a man who has ever met a girl who makes you wanna stop your doggish ways.

Asking me for musical recommendations is akin to the 2nd opening of Pandora’s Box… Prepare to listen to me proselytize deep into 2054… So anyways, currently I am completely and utterly obsessed with Bon Iver’s For Emma Forever Ago. From what I can surmise Justin Vernon (Bon Iver’s one and only member) apparently sequestered himself in a remote, snowbound cabin for four months, where he wrote and recorded his debut solo album. I’m not sure what precipitated the whole retreat from civilization, but the album exudes such a strong sense of loneliness and remoteness that it’s hard not to imagine some sort of tragedy behind it. It’s a pretty bleak album (it actually makes me think of Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road), but it is super-evocative and utterly, utterly absorbing. On an unrelated tangent, I’m not generally very lyric-orientated, but I’ve been listening to a lot of older Modest Mouse albums, and Isaac Brock has such a cool turn of phrase that I just have to stick earphones on and haul out the lyric sheets. Sample lyric: “Trying hard to get my mind clear, I push things out my mouth and get refilled through my ears” Hurt by Johnny Cash. Forget the fact that it was originally a Nine Inch Nails song, the man in black owns it. Respect. Off to a meeting now. More in the coming hours, days, weeks, months and years… Comment 57, posted at 13.12.10 15:43:33 by Culling Song

Hey Rob I8 dont know if you visit the other rugby sites much but Ive picked up on Keo and Ruggaworld that an old blogger from those sites has passed away. He blogged under the name of Jinx.

@Pokkel (Comment 96) : Squeal was, to me, much like Boo! and Wonderboom, an exceptionally good live band that never quite managed to transfer the magic to their cd’s. Which is not to say the cd’s are bad, but they just don’t quite have the same personality that their stage shows did… On the positive side, as a producer, Squeal lead man Dave Birch is doing some wonderful work helping to keep the SA music scene vibrant and vital.

Wonderboom. What an awesome act. Cito had something as a frontman, for sure. Reminds me a lot of Dave Gahan. Never Ever Ever is still one of my top 5 ever. Salmo, I know about Michael. Great guy and will be missed. Comment 107, posted at 14.12.10 09:44:52 by robdylan

@Ice-Cool CC Champ 2010 (Comment 69) : My two year old has, thanks to the influence of her mother, decided that Tracy Chapman is the be-all and end-all of the musical universe… Also, in the afternoons when I get home she now insists I turn on the hi-fi and dance with her, which naturally I love doing, but is probably a bit painful to behold, given my complete lack of rhythm. Gotta love being a parent! Comment 108, posted at 14.12.10 09:46:51 by Culling Song

@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 125) : Speaking of rap, is anyone else as perplexed as I am over the sudden hype surrounding Die Antwoord? Not that I particularly dislike them per se, it just seems to me that they’re more of a novelty act, and that any (and all) of Watkins Tudor Jones’ previous groups (Max Normal, Constructus Corporation, Fantastic Kill) were actually superior. Sort of a style over substance situation they’ve got going on… Comment 130, posted at 14.12.10 12:25:29 by Culling Song

@Ice-Cool CC Champ 2010 (Comment 111) : Claiming to like music while saying you dislike ABBA is like saying you like breathing but can’t stand the smell of oxygen… Comment 131, posted at 14.12.10 12:27:29 by Culling Song

@Ice-Cool CC Champ 2010 (Comment 134) : Now I think you misunderstood me, madame Ice! My statement regarding ABBA was not aimed at you; more of a general comment about the genius of ABBA. Comment 137, posted at 14.12.10 14:41:41 by Culling Song

@Ben (Comment 136) : Talking about guitars, I’ve always like Keith Richard’s response to being asked to classify his style of play: “4 strings, 2 fingers, 1 **sshole”. Comment 138, posted at 14.12.10 14:43:55 by Culling Song

@robdylan (Comment 141) : I’m also a huge Depeche Mode fan. I listened to some of the tracks of their first couple of albums the other day and most of it was utter crap.

Jack Parow!!! You have to give it to the guy for being original. Comment 146, posted at 14.12.10 15:50:07 by Pokkel

@Ben (Comment 140) : oh sorry – my bad 🙂 Keith Richards is the guitarist from the Rolling Stones… the original rock’n’roll bad boy. It is, quite frankly, a miracle that he isn’t dead, after all the shit he’s done. Or, then again, maybe he is dead and just hasn’t realised it yet. Have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean 3? (I hope not – awful movie). Anyway, if you have, Keith does a cameo as Captain Jack Sparrow’s dad Comment 147, posted at 14.12.10 15:51:44 by robdylan

@Pokkel (Comment 146) : nah – he’s not original. He’s just uncouth. Swearing a lot is not really original. Just vulgar. OMG – I just turned into my parents! Comment 148, posted at 14.12.10 15:53:10 by robdylan

@robdylan (Comment 147) : What is even more amazing is that after all that he has done and his age he has hardly slowed down. Comment 149, posted at 14.12.10 15:54:40 by lostfish

@Culling Song (Comment 130) : Die Antwoord should be fading into black shortly, Max Normal was a much better product than this weird little party pack.The boy can spit rhymes but how much times do you want to hear “ma se p>>>” on an album, I must say Jack Parows verse on Wat Pomp Julle is out of this world Comment 158, posted at 14.12.10 16:09:35 by Clayton(PJLD)

@Pokkel (Comment 156) : can’t say I enjoyed it best movie I’ve watched lately was inglorious basterds! Haven’t seen a better 1 after that Comment 159, posted at 14.12.10 16:25:10 by Ben

@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 158) : Die Antwoord is huge in Europe. I see them regularly on NME and MTV Germany. Before someone caught on what p**scool meant the fully uncensored version had been airing for weeks already 😆 . I agree that Max Normal was a better quality product, but one has to give the dude credit for creativity and promotion – there are some marketing “experts” who should sit up and take notes. Die Antwoord (as you said) will likely fade to black, but Jones will pop up soon enough afterwards with something new and super-satirical for everyone to either love or hate.

@rhineshark (Comment 159) : While I may not be convinced by Die Antwoord, I totally worship at the altar of Waddy Jones. The guy is just a bundle of creative energy, and doesn’t limit himself to a single field of endeavour. The packaging he devised for the Constructus Corporation album is some of the best I have ever seen, period, and I should know, being an unashamed and unrepentant cool-packaging-collector-slut.

DMX was brilliantly bad. Tupac still rules the streetz, although Kanye deserves respect. I see no mention of Marvin Gaye or Sam Cooke. Unwashed Philistines… Comment 167, posted at 14.12.10 20:49:09 by Big Fish

@Big Fish (Comment 166) : Come on now,when everybod made a scene about slim shady DMX just dropped PARTY UP and that was it for the real slim 😎 Comment 168, posted at 14.12.10 23:57:52 by Honey Badger

@Honey Badger (Comment 167) : Party Up was one of the worst rap songs recorded ever. @Big Fish (Comment 166) : Was thinking about that on the drive in this morning.No soul.So sad Comment 169, posted at 15.12.10 08:28:24 by Clayton(PJLD)

@Big Fish (Comment 166) : Continuing the rap thread, any fans of Dizzee Rascal out there? Yesterday my better half was playing TV on the Radio when I arrived at home. It sure ain’t soul, but Tunde Abepimbe and Kyp Malone have the kind of voices that could have made them soul/R&B legends. Comment 170, posted at 15.12.10 08:41:44 by Culling Song

Stop the Press ! What is this shaize I read on Twitter about Beast leaving us? 👿 Can anyone confirm or deny? Comment 173, posted at 15.12.10 09:18:22 by Original Champion

@Original Champion (Comment 172) : Exactly, see my post above. Comment 174, posted at 15.12.10 09:23:09 by Pablo Dinero

@Pablo Dinero (Comment 173) : Hope someone in Sharks management approached Coenie Oosthuizen by now. If this deal goes through we are well and truly stuffed up front. Coenie is the only viable option unless we can get BJ Botha back in a hurry. Comment 175, posted at 15.12.10 09:28:57 by Original Champion

@Original Champion (Comment 174) : No on both accounts!! We want Beast and noone else. Look at how he destroyed Tialata in the Baabaas game while Coenie had done… nothing. Pay him what he wants, just get him back!!! Comment 176, posted at 15.12.10 09:34:56 by Pablo Dinero

@ruggabugga (Comment 183) : Oh crap, my cover’s been blown! Seriously though, given my patent lack of any form of musical talent beyond pressing the “play” button on my cd player, you may want to retract that statement before the real Dave Birch sues you.
