Just dipped into the forum for my twice-annual check-up
Saw this
That’s it I’m getting the fuck out of here, see you in six months. Maybe.
Not sure who came up with this shit:
Not one mention of MF Doom or Kool Keith?
You have to scroll to 22 to get to any member of the Wu Tang Clan?
I appreciate that there are some new faces in there, but some seems exceptionally high.
Nicky Minaj over Ghostface?
Scarface over Ice Cube and 50 Cent (…and I love Scarface)?
Andre 3000 over Rakim?
Lil Wayne over Snoop Dogg?
Hmm…
I’m out.
Shit, I didn’t even see that…yes, because “Hey Ya” is, of course, vastly more lyrical then “Follow the Leader”
Wazzocks
Drake should not be in top 10, he’s barely a rapper
it’s Billboard, not even worth the click.
Andre 3000 has done some good stuff…but…he still is incredibly high on that list.
I guess there is a lack of info on how people have placed on that list.
Maybe inclusion was garnered simply my meeting the criteria of “Favoured by our intern.”
I’ve probably been living under a rock, but christ tickets for gigs sell pretty quickly these days!!!
Because I’m old as shit I thought I’ll grab a couple of tickets to see Wilco, wanted seats because standing is for the young with intact knees. within a minute most seats in the first balcony are sold out unless you want to sit behind a pillar.
Oh well, my copy of Sleep - Dopesmoker arrives today so i’ll terrify the kids with that one
Incredible album. Listened to that over and over and over.
Might stick it on today as it has been a while…
You should go see them live. I’ve seen them a few times now and it was amazing.
They’re so loud live, like to the point I think I was pushing the limit of the earplugs I normally use with the amount of bass and feedback that was coming out of the stacks haha.
Been on a Bacharach tip for the past couple of days. RIP.
Only got into them and SUNN0))) in the last couple of years, keeping an eye out for live dates for Sleep, I really would like to see them. Melvins tickets are out today too but to be honest live shows have become less and less appealing to me the older I get. Might console myself over the lack of Wilco tickets and grab Electric Wizards Dopethrone album
Never got into Electric Wizard. They are British and from Dorset, right?
Sleep played a few times here - I think I’ve seen them 4 times. I’ve seen Melvins a shit ton of times. Best shows were in Brixton and only a few years ago - they did curated nights - so one night was Bullhead and the next was Houdini (IIRC). All the songs off of those albums. And some extras…Was ace.
That said, this was the most powerful show I went to of theirs:
Sunn are fun. @buildafire sent me a shirt of theirs a long time ago. Again, their live shows are really sick. Better than the records, tbh but I guess thats how they are meant to be heard.
My favourite Sunn O))) stuff isn’t the instrumental stuff when it comes to listening at home…
This is epic:
Yeah. Dopethrone is great but I’d start with Witchcult Today if you’re investigating them.
Electric Wizard are incredible. I think Come my Fanatics is their best.
RIP Dave aka Trugoy
