bertrand Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) It's amazing how any post by Clem generates five more trying to figure out what he is talking about.

clifford_thornton Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 "Not only wasn't this what I wanted from jazz, it wasn't what I needed from pop—songs, concision, dumb fun. Despite Henderson's funk bass, the operating aesthetic is closer to prog—too smart for its own good, but not as smart as it wants you to think" I disagree - there are implications of 'song,' and revelry, but if one actually pays attention to the process of this band in continual reinvention over four nights, any of these implications are hacked to bits. I would say that most prog rock is far more obviously orchestrated than these works here - even the Softs at their most "out." My $.02, fwiw.

couw Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 If everyone spoke English around here, it sure would save a lot of bandwidth. it would save even more bandwidth if everyone spoke Dutch. Much less blahblah, more to the point, and much less native speakers who think that every shitty little nuance is caught by the entire world and everyone beyond. We desperately need more talk-like-a-pirate days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Post edited for clarification, for those who thought I was some sort of American imperialist. Quite frankly, I'd be happy to post in French from now on. Bertrand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bertrand Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I don't know why English has become the language used universally for people from different countries to communicate; perhaps a linguist could shed some light. It's certainly nothing I have imposed. Should we perhaps switch to Latin? I'd be all for it. It would keep out some idiots. Bertrand.

Aggie87 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Unless something happened, you have another 8 fingers. Details about the tasks they perform would be appreciated. Using my rudimentary math skills (I did go to Texas A&M after all), 1 + 8 = 9. If you're counting thumbs, them couw maybe really IS an pirate, and lost a digit to his parrot or something? Conversely, not counting thumbs, perhaps he's an alien or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I paid € 69,90, but I don't mind. I knew the set would be great - I long hoped to hear this music in its unabridged form, as the tracks as released on Live-Evil were a pivotal experience to me at the beginnimng of my "musical career". For me, it's indispensable, and the commentaries of all the band members are a very nice read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
