JonG, I'm dissapointed you didn't have EKTiN before today.

Unless you had the mp3 in wich it's okay. :)

EDIT-I'm downloading [I]Time Fades Away[/I] right now, I've waited so long to hear this album. Since it's only been released on viynl I've been wanting to listen to it so badly. I saw it at a record shop on the wall for $20 but I didn't have any money, if it's still there when I go back I'm so picking it up.

Does anyone like A Clockwork Orange? Book or movie....[QUOTE]I know Schyma might not like the transition stuff, but I'm pretty sure he likes all the pre-PATGOD Syd singles and stuff too, that's primo early Floyd stuff. That reminds me of the awesome video for See Emily Play.[/QUOTE]O brother BigTrav is correct, I do enjoy all/most of the various singles they released with Syd, they're really fun to listen to. I am woundering why you seem to think I am a very mean close minded person who enjoys nothing better than to prey on anyone who remotley comes close to the topic of Syd Barrett for both the good and the bad. You always post something like "So I really like Gilmour's guitar playing (OMG the wrath of Schyma will soon be upon me OMG!!!)" I think I have explained this already but please quit talking like that, you're making me feel bad. :p

Cramps: The song where he sings like he has apples in his rot is pretty funny but after that they're boarder-line [I]really[/I] horrible.[QUOTE]Schyma, I think we have like the same tastes in almost everything.[/QUOTE]I always thought you had tastes that most resembled me and now it has been proven true. I have reached the shocking conclusion that you are my long lost Canadian brother. :eek:

I feel the little power I once had has been striped away yet again!

I LOVE a Clock Work Orange. I've only seen the movie but I'm working on getting my hands on the book. It really makes you think. I think it really shows how right and wrong is just one mans point of view and imposing your view of what right is on others is dangerous.

You've got the Monk avatar back!

I was always kidding about when I'd say stuff about Waters-era Floyd and say something like that. I remember one time in the PinK Floyd thread you posted your story about the awesome trip with The Gnome, and I replied and said something like "Wow, that sounds like an awesome day. Seriously, sounds like fun :) " or something, and you thought I was being a spatula, and replied with like "I asked you guys to just hear me out, and you couldn't even do that! :rolleyes: " and then never responded when I said I wasn't being sarcastic. I felt really bad for a while :(

Oh, and in case you haven't seen it yet:

I'm not sure though.

I know he put in his jazz favorites list sometime recently Thelonius Monk, and his avatar looks a lot like him, but I'm not sure either :-/ I'll Google Image or something, I want to know now.

Wow I'm listening to [I]Time Fades Away[/I] right now, sooooo good. I can't believe I haven't been let in on this before.

I wanna see/read A Clockwork Orange some time. i tried reading the book once, it made little to no sense.

np: Stevie Wonder - So What The Fuss

Yeah, I had EKTiN before.

I think A Clockwork Orange is possibly the most overrated movie. Honestly, it was alright, but every blows it out of proportion.

I'm off.

:)

[QUOTE=Schyma]Get the book, it's so much better. It really is a great book it just takes a couple of pages to get used to the slang involved which floods the pages up and down. Have you taken in just how funny the movie is? [/QUOTE]

Yeah thats what I heard about the book that made me want to read it. I do think its a very funny movie along with being serious as well, its a great satire as well as commentary. Personally I will never think of the song "Singing in the Rain" the same again.

Hmm...I've never heard of A Clockwork Orange.

Hey Schyma, what do you think about The Madcap Laughs? It's currently one of my favorite albums.

[QUOTE=MidnightRider]Hmm...I've never heard of A Clockwork Orange.
[/QUOTE]

Never :eek: Hold on a sec....

[QUOTE=Wikipedia]A Clockwork Orange is a science fiction and dystopian 1962 novel by Anthony Burgess, and forms the basis for the 1971 film adaptation by Stanley Kubrick.

It is one of Burgess's "terminal novels," written to provide posthumous income for his wife after Burgess had allegedly been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour.

Burgess wrote that the title came from an old Cockney expression "As queer as a clockwork orange." ¹ Due to his time serving the British Colonial Office in Malaya, Burgess thought that the phrase could be used to punningly refer to a mechanically responsive (clockwork) non-human (orang, Malay for "person"). The Italian title, "Un'Arancia ad Orologeria" was interpreted to refer to a grenade. Burgess wrote in his later introduction, "A Clockwork Orange Resucked," that a creature who can only perform good or evil is "a clockwork orange—meaning that he has the appearance of an organism lovely with colour and juice but is in fact only a clockwork toy to be wound up by God or the Devil."

In his essay "Clockwork Oranges"² he says that "this title would be appropriate for a story about the application of Pavlovian, or mechanical, laws to an organism which, like a fruit, was capable of colour and sweetness." This title alludes to the protagonist's negatively conditioned responses to feelings of evil which prevent the exercise of his free will.

The book was partly inspired by an event in 1944, when Burgess' pregnant wife Lynne was robbed and beaten by four U.S. GI deserters in a London street, suffering a miscarriage and chronic gynaecological problems³. According to Burgess, writing the novel was both a catharsis and an "act of charity" towards his wife's attackers - the story is narrated by and essentially sympathetic to one of the attackers rather than their victim[/QUOTE]

Hey Schyma, what do you think about The Madcap Laughs? It's currently one of my favorite albums.[/QUOTE]

I know I'm not Schyma but I just have to say that that album is wonderful for me its one of those albums that sounds new every time I hear it. I think some points on that album are better than Syd's work with Pink Floyd.

[QUOTE=Schyma]You said somerthing like "Wow, I'm suprised you can type that good while intoxicated and skiped out on a free education" that kinda pissed me off but I don't hold many grudges with anyone.

I know, I was honestly joking, I realize now you couldn't have realized it though, it sounded like I was just being a spatula. I remember that your post was really long, so I just cut most of it out when I quoted it for space reasons, and as a joke I replaced the cut part with "blah blah blah something about missing out on a free quality education" or something, then I said the thing I said earlier. Sorry if you thought I was serious :(

the books really not supposed to be funny. in fact, the author of the book (can't recall his name) disowned the movie BECAUSE it showed everything in a humorous light.

I was actually going to buy A Clockwork Orange (book) because I heard so much about it, but I skimmed through a few pages and I honestly couldn't understand what the hell was going on. Normally I love books like that, but I guess at that time I was really into the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and Ender's game series (still am), and I didn't feel like starting something new that would be kind of difficult to read. I'll pick it up sometime.

Love the books.

Absolutely HATE the movie.

A Clockwork Orange was the only book I asked for that I didn't get for Christmas.
I [I]did[/I] get Slaughter-House Five. Really good stuff. Vonnegut is up there with Orwell as one of my favorite authors.

[QUOTE=EMH]Never Hold on a sec....[/QUOTE]

That looks pretty deep, I'll go check out the book sometime.

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]I think some points on that album are better than Syd's work with Pink Floyd.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I like it better than Syd's work on SOS. I probably listen to it about equally as much as I do PATGOD.

On Sunday night I started reading [I]The Charm School[/I]. It's pretty good so far. I'm trying ot get back into reading, because I know that I love it, even though I felt like I grew out of it. After about 5th 6th grade I couldn't find too much that interested me.

Books are good. Novels are good. Textbooks, generally, are not good. The Boy Scout Handbook? F[size=2]u[/size]cking Hilarious.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]Love the books.

I haven't even read the book and I hate the movie. Not just because it was bad, but because I can regognize a brillent idea when I see one and the idea behind the movie was brillent. Seeing the movie made me want to read the book more because there is no way the same brillent mind who thought of the concepts in that movie could have written such a horrible story with it.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]Love the books.

Really? I haven't seen it yet, I had high hopes :upset: I've heard it was passable at the very least because Douglas Adams wrote the bare script before he died, but then othe rpeople had to work out the details and stuff, so it was a mix of awesome and meh. But with that strong of an opinion from someone whose musical opinions I respect, I don't know what to think.

[QUOTE=Mister Blue Sky]Love the books.

What was wrong with the movie? I liked it.

im not a fan of slaughterhouse 5. i don't think it's one of his best. i prefer mother night, cat's cradle, and a bunch of others.

I liked Lord of the Rings. If I read it agin, I'd probably like it more, but it's just not something I'm willing to, nor do I have the time to do.

I sent out Grateful Dead s/t (1967)

I was looking through my friend's and I read the child abuse pages. I died of laughter.

[QUOTE]What was wrong with the movie? I liked it.[/QUOTE]

Well, they just screwed everything up. It wasn't like the book at all. The Point of View gun? What? The only part that I really enjoyed was when Arthur and that old guy who's name escapes me right now are going through that world building factory.

Most movies based on books suck. The only exception I can think of is LOTR.

[QUOTE=TheDMV]I liked Lord of the Rings. If I read it agin, I'd probably like it more, but it's just not something I'm willing to, nor do I have the time to do.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, they're great books. I have sort of an unhealthy obsession. :)
