Actually, my position is that the last 13-17 years or so would have been much more enjoyable to me musically were I to have liked a few more bands than I did. I would have had so much more to enjoy and about which to exchange gleeful e-mails. When I bought stuff like BEE THOUSAND, TRANSIENT RANDOM-NOISE BURSTS WITH ANNOUNCEMENTS, EITHER/OR, or SLANTED AND ENCHANTED, I was very keen to like those albums. I also don't think low-fi itself was an issue - I couldn't have owned and loved all those R.

I'm looking to buy a new receiver (or maybe just an amp - - there's not a lot to listen to around here radio-wise), good sounding smallish speakers, and a decent quality turntable to listen to/digitize LP's. Oh, and probably a CD changer. Collectively you guys probably know way more than me about what's new, good quality stuff. Anything you can recommend yourself, or links to a starting point on the web or anything else helpful would be great. I'm not necessarily looking for super high-end audio equipment - years of playing in a band have probably screwed up my hearing - - but I'd like to find stuff that's good sounding, not cheap, but not necessarily expensive (maybe $1200-$1500 tops, but preferably less than $1000).

There needs to be something...well, not dumb necessarily, but that helps - or pretentious, or goofy, or out of step in some way for the whole lol thing to work, I think.

Oh, I didn't perceive you to be against that type of sound as a thing in itself, just a small clutch of the more visible groups filed under that heading. Maybe there's some cool musicianly thing going on with MBV that I'm > not hearing. I sort of picked up on them as an obligation, since I liked several of the other bands usually grouped with them (actually loved maybe two of them). MBV sort of grew on me slowly-- which I think is appropriate. It was maybe two years after first hearing them, and past the apex of "shoegazer" music, that I evaluated them as the top of the heap. And admittedly, it may have a thing or two about how most of the other bands, who actually put out more records, made some bad ones. I'd put them alongside the Pixies as the rare occasions where the most visible bands in a "genre" actually are the best ones, not just the most popular or influential. Speaking of inconsistent micro-genre appreciation, am I officially the only person who likes almost all No-Wave but simply can't get into the Swans? They seem much more like a ponderous, unsubtle 4AD-reject band to me. Whereas Live Skull rules.

It's easier here in NZ - the Maori wrod for the is "te", which is pronounced to rhyme with the "weh" in Wimoweh (thought a lot of people incorrectly pronounce it like "tea"). So teh is a no-brainer. Likewise, HP Lovecraft would've been great on a different band, one that tried to sound a little ominous. Instead, they were a folk band who got his name off a bookshelf and didn't actually bother reading anything by him until the B-side of their second album. (Rather like Fever Tree.

Sounds more like a firm of accountants than a rock group. Naming your band after the names of the members of the band shows two things: (1) no imagination whatsoever; (2) sales are primary - since the only reason to name your group after band members' names is that you think the names themselves will drive sales. Also: with only one or two exceptions I can think of, all bands named after geographic locations suck horribly. Chicago. Boston. Asia. Kansas. Europe. Etc. (one exception: Idaho) Another awful name I missed: System of a Down. What is that - the > topology of a hill in southern England? You know, I have no interest in their music at all - but I figured, there must be some sort of story behind that name. So I looked it up - googled it, wikipedia'd it, etc. Apparently, no one knows. It's some big secret. I suspect it was given to them by a man who appeared unto them from a flaming bong. "Whoa, dude - I know what to call our band!" "What's that?" "You're gonna love it. It's totally awesome. No, really - listen. 'System...of a Down.' " "Whoa. That's intense. It's like...a system, you know? And...that's all anti-establishment and shit. A 'down' - that's deep.

Joe Brown Beatles (figuring that no one else was using that name). - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 09 Jun 2007 13:55:12 -0400 From: "Stewart C.
