  • The thing of my day is Spoon's new album Transference.

    Written in Reverse
  • EDIT - Holy christ, I got something that actually sounds reasonable -
    I thought all of the ones ending in "go down the pub" sounded pretty reasonable as well.
  • I've heard such polarizing things about Transference. Everyone seems to either hate it or think it's brilliant.
  • It's got less of a harsh sound than Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga did. It's also more experimental; they did weird cuts all over the place. I agree that it's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but it's not a bad record by any stretch.
  • I'm rather enjoying Rock Paper Shotgun's series of posts on Solium Infernum, and the related blogs (which are linked in later posts).
    ...However, just after I send in my turn file ordering my legions to rip his balls off, KG contacts me over Steam. He is somewhat surprised at the vehemence of my reaction, and says that he was just angling for a bit of extra prestige, but he reckons he can take me in a vendetta.

    At the suggestion that I just let it go, I fly completely off the handle and start ranting furiously about just how badly I am going to fuck him up. I tell him I’m going to crush his legions. I tell him I’m going to seize his PoPs. I tell him that if it takes every last army I have, every artifact, every praetor, every misbegotten soul and fetid ichor and unholy scrap of darkness in my dwindling resource stockpile, I am going to watch him burn. I may even have threatened to kill his family and set fire to his house during this tirade; the red mist was making the words in the chat box kind of hard to read so who knows.

    KG eventually gets the message that I am ever so slightly aggrieved by his insult and has second thoughts about getting into a vendetta with me. It’s too late to take it back now, he says, but if I accept the insult he offers to regear himself to help me exact some revenge on Zah’hak.
    Fun stuff; it almost makes me want to buy the game.

    Broken link is broken. Try this.

    Scott, you don't actually think that, do you?

  • That made me all warm and fuzzy inside, Churba.

    On first listen, I really don't like it.

    I heard it earlier, I don't really dig it. I'm hopeful for the rest of the album, though. It's hard to go wrong with collaborators like "Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Barry Gibb, De La Soul, Mark E. Smith from the Fall, Gruff Rhys of Super Furry Animals, and Mick Jones and Paul Simonon of the Clash".

    Unless you allow your collaborations to overtake your style and water down your material...
  • The Gorillaz have always been hit or miss with me. I really like some of their stuff, and don't care for just as much or more of their other stuff.
  • edited January 2010
    Gorillaz is and always has been an excuse for Damon Alburn to mess around with different styles and do collaborations. There's no "watering down", here. If Stylo is diluted, it's because Alburn sucks at trying to make a 70s electronic disco/funk song.

    And of course this approach lends itself to very hit-or-miss music, as gedavis said.

    'S a'right. My thing with the Gorillaz has always been kind of lukewarm at first, but having the albums really grow on me over time.
