Momus' first album and, perhaps, my favourite. Stories from Rome and the Bible with Momus' wry humour.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Thanks to this Germs book I'm reading, I'm going back and checking out some California bands that I missed when I was a kid (mostly because the CDs were unavailable and streaming wasn't around) and liking it. So far have checked out the Weirdos, the Avengers, and the Nuns, with more to come. At the time, I had been more into Circle Jerks, Fear, DK, etc.

Meh flick, but might be worth a gander if it's on a movie channel.

Right. Its chief virtue, I guess, is that Shane West is a pretty convincing Darby.Kory wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 6:43pmI take it this is a biopic rather than a documentary?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 6:35pmMeh flick, but might be worth a gander if it's on a movie channel.Kory wrote: ↑10 Jun 2019, 4:15pmThanks to this Germs book I'm reading, I'm going back and checking out some California bands that I missed when I was a kid (mostly because the CDs were unavailable and streaming wasn't around) and liking it.

CtC, obviously. But in between, my favourite album by Van Halen, a classic in my eyes.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
If anyone out there has copies of the 2 disc versions of their albums that were released back in 2004 - drop me a line ! They're very hard to find these days.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
The debut rules imo.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Their debut is one of the best hard rock albums ever recorded. They never really did a bad album with Diamond Dave - in fact - the overall quality was pretty darned high. The Sammy Hagar years never really did much for me, however.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Decided to give Elton John’s discography a fair shake (my wife is on a kick because of the movie - she’s a long-time fan), so I’m listening to the early stuff (I’m probably gonna dip by 1976). It’s surprising how country-tinged much of it is.
His first album is odd in that it’s very listenable but not very interesting. Good background noise.
The moment the second album begins with “Your Song,” it’s super clear he’s ready to release a hit. Also the production is so much better, even though both are by Joe’s feared Gus Dudgeon.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
It’s almost perverse how little Van Halen moves me despite my love of dumb hard rock bordering on dumb metal.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
