[MMouse]: SPIN's best of......

1999-12-02 Thread KneeXsocks

anyone seen the new SPIN? suprisingly, not too bad...well, maybe.

their best 20 albums of the year include:
#4: magnetic fields--69 love songs
#7: flaming lips--soft bulletin
#9: beck--midnite vultures
#11:built to spill--keep it like a secret
#16:promise ring (very emergency) AND rainer maria (look now look again)
#17: wilco--summer teeth
#18: sleater kinney--the hot rock (which i disagree with. i hate that album)

of course, being Spin, they put Eminem at #20. 

Also, on their list of the ten best albums we didn't hear:
godspeed, you black emperor! (slow riot..)
bonnie prince billy

and yes..."No Scrubs" for best single of the year.

Re: [MMouse]: 1999 where did you go???

1999-12-02 Thread Slackathon

I didn't buy much mosic this year, and most of what I did buy was catching up on stuff 
I didn't get around to buying last year. But this is my favorite thing to do, too, so 
my top 5:

1) Joan of Arc, "Live in Chicago"
--and not just because Chicago wears me the fuck down, too, but because I couldn't 
have survived the end of summer and the beginning of school without it--

2)Pavement, "Terror Twilight"
--oh, the controversy...but it definetly grows on you

3) Underworld, "Beaucoup Fish"
--combining two of my favorite things, cheesy concept albums and even cheesier(yet 
artsy!) house music

4)Beck, "Midnight Vultures"
--if you havn't heard him lately, you havn't heard him at all--

5) Chemical Brothers, "Surrender"
--beacause not enough electronic musicians flat out acknowledge that the 80's rocked--

My, that's a boring list...but I just can't think of anything else that came out this 
year that's worthy...ho hum. I guess I spent all my time at the movies this year, and 
listening to records that came out in the mid 90s...

The problem i was refering to was that i had heard  the first time they 
tested it, somethig was done wrong and showed that it was no where near the
time of christ's death, but recently the retested it and found that it fell
alot closer to his era. Of course i might have that mixed up!

1999-12-02 Thread jsl04


If you're going to be responding to a thread, why don't you make sure
you know who claimed what. I wasn't stating that the earth was only 2000 years
old, Sparky. I added that only because some other "enlightened" list-member
had stated that earlier. It's called "Flash-Back Humor." Obviously, it doesn't
work if you weren't there. (Do I need to start using foot-notes?) But, thanks
for the simple history lesson anyway.

As for there being a "certain order to the makeup of matter." Wow, thanks for
opening my eyes to the wonders of atoms/molecules! Gee, then someone as astute
& scholarly as you would also be "sure about" the fact that nature DOES affect
the decay of matter. Like, say, an ice age or a meteor slamming into earth,
DOES  alter the rates of carbon breakdown. Not to mention the contaminants
that we have been pumping out for over 200 years, well before the first
experiment of carbon dating. So, try not to be so fucking tunnel-visioned in
your 21st century!

with carbon dating.  it is only accurate if the object is less than 1
years old, i think.  when its older than that, the measurements that have
to be made are too small and therefore, creat a lot of error in the
readings.  or something like that.

It wasn't that there was a screw up..but if you take a look at the equation
for carbon dating..being off by something as tiny even as say.. .001 in
your measurements could have a significant effect(100 years..or so..) on the
date of an object..carbon dating works to give you a date within about
10,000 years..and that they tried it on the shroud of turin just strikes me
as retarted..

Yeah, if I remember correctly, there were some "authenticity issues." I don't
know if it was due to carbon dating, but I do remember church officials
balking at the idea of letting scientists get their mitts all over it. Good
question.

Easily my least favorite Flaming Lips album.  Yes, it's somewhat
"innovative" and "technically" very spectacular, but as far as actual
songwriting and especially as far as lyrics, I'll take -Hit to Death in
the Future Head- or -Clouds Taste Metallic- or even -Hear It Is- over it
any day.

My favorites of 1999:

Mogwai -Come On Die Young- and -EP+2-
Godspeed You Black Emperor! -Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada EP-
the Boredoms -Super AR-
Bardo Pond -Set and Setting-
Tricky -Juxtapose-
Ghost -Snuffbox Immanence-
Labradford -E Luxo So-
Trans Am -Futureworld-


np:Red Crayola, "War Sucks"

Ahh, but it's not really gothic, because Morrissey sung it with a sense
of humor...

For me the lyric that best captures goth is "Lucretia my reflection,
dance the ghost with me".

This isn't a new theory at all.  It's called "subjective reality".

Seth...why do you always like such good bands...come home to 
Ohio!
 
Oh, and before people flame me for having so many good albums 
so low on my list...pretty much everything outside of the top 20 is honorable 
mention and shares a spot at 21.  My opinions on those change faster than 
Ohio weather.  For instance, I just got the Dismemberment Plan album in the 
last month, but I haven't really been able to listen to it much...maybe when I 
give it some serious time it will crack the top 20...same goes for Kincaid and 
The Shyness Clinic.  Oh well.

Any top ten list that doesn't have Magnetic Fields' "69 Love Songs" way high,
