Omg....I am in so much pain right now. I was snowboarding all day yesterday. It was fun, but all my joints and bones and whatnot hurt like hell.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to mosh hardcore tonight :(

np: Tom Waits - 9th & Hennepin

I know you'll bring the mosh harder than ever before!

Besides, when you have all that adrenaline, your pain tolerance is much higher. You'll just have to go one or two songs in pain, then you'll be fine.

A Softer World rules

i skated today for the first time in 2 months becasue i tore all of the ligaments in my ankle. i also made a new ramp. and now im making a leftover crack stencil for my board.

I was browsing round Last.Fm bored when I found this user: [url]http://www.last.fm/user/MaZaA/[/url]

They've only got 43 top artists, only 22 of whom are in double figures, yet they've listened to Radiohead over [i][b][u]37000[/u][/b][/i] times.

I swear they must just leave their media player on round the clock.

Get that YSI Joe?

Anyone here listen to folk. I just started listening to Devendra Banhart and I'm hooked. Any more good folk acts?

My God. In one particular week they listened to 6597 Radiohead songs. No way that's possible.

It's probably that one guy from South Park

Phil mother****in' Ochs

Not as good as Nick says though.

[QUOTE=Brain Toad]Phil mother****in' Ochs[/QUOTE]
I second this with a passion.

Dylan > Guthrie > Ochs > Bragg > Lightfoot > Graham > Seeger

I like Ochs more than Dylan. Guthrie I don't compare to either.

Dylan > Ochs. Better song writing even though Dylan sounds like he has downs.

Dylan may have been a better songwriter, but his voice grates on me really fast.

And Ochs dabble in electric was better than Dylan's

Dylan didn't dabble, he went into it full-blown and created some of the greatest and most beautiful songs of the 20th century. (Stuck Inside A Mobile With the Memphis Blues Again, Visions of Johanna, Like a Rolling Stone, Subterranean Homesick Blues etc)

I agree Dylan's voice is an acquired taste but Ochs occasionally sounds slightly too self-satisfied and self-conscious to me while Dylan was clearly self-conscious he manages to hide it better I think.

I was expecting flammage.

Ochs' electric was basically just a "I'm tired of being political, I want to cover Elvis and Buddy Holly for awhile in a gold suit" so I found it quite funny.

I find your face quite funny.

I'll only flame the "DYLAN SUX LOL" idiots. Dylan's electric period was "I'm tired of politics, I want to write druggy surreal anthems to bitterness, love, loss and everything in the world"

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]Dylan > Ochs. Better song writing even though Dylan sounds like he has downs.[/QUOTE]

Actually, Dylan had conceded on multiple occassions that he would never, ever, get to be as good as Mr. Ochs.

And while we're on it:

Guthrie > Dylan > Ochs > Leadbelly > Lightfoot = Seeger = Bragg

But if we wanna go back to blues, like where Leadbelly came from, man, you could go on FOREVER.

Yeah but I think Dylan is better and you know... I'm the Emperor. :)


iluAlex.

I don't think Ochs got the popularity he really deserved. He should've been as popular as Dylan. A joint effort between them would've been awesome.

Oh crap. I forgot Leadbelly.

If we're talking blues (see what I did there?) then I'm a Robert Johnson man myself but I like a bit of Odetta, Skip James, Blind Willie McTell, Mississippi Sheiks and Sleepy John Estes.

Bluesmen have the coolest names.

Corrina, Corrina just came on my iPod. Dylan writes the best love songs because they're not sappy and so punk.

Corrina, Corrina is probably my least favourire on Freewheelin' maybe because it's a traditional song.

Dylan writes twisted love songs that are either bitter, or funny or melancholy so that half the time you're not sure if they're love songs or not. eg I Want You, Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands, You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go, Visions of Johanna, Just Like A Woman, Love Minus Zero/No Limit.

Though some are more conventional eg Lay Lady Lay.

I like Robert Johnson a lot. Especially when I found out his song Sweet Home Chicago isn't actually about Chicago, IL but Port Chicago, CA which is a tiny old port town about 15 minutes from me. It's famous for a big explosion that happened there during WWII and caused a mutiny.

I have Freewheelin' and Blonde on Blonde and I'm not sure if this is his blues or folk or rock or wahtever era?

[QUOTE=Skrunnch]I have Freewheelin' and Blonde on Blonde and I'm not sure if this is his blues or folk or rock or wahtever era?[/QUOTE]
Blonde on Blonde is pure thin wild mercury sound. It's the last album in the 'electric trilogy' before his motorcycle crash and he went back to his folk and country balladry roots.



You shouldn't definitely get Highway 61 Revisited, Bringin' It All Back Home and Blood on the Tracks too as a minimum.

I got an IPOD today! SCORE!

I basically agree with everything Joe said about the folk recommendations, and I'd throw in Neil Young, and older country like Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, which was closely tied with folk. Also, for modern folk, try Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens.
