Really didn't like this when it came out, but I'm giving it another chance. I'm upgrading my view to "don't hate it."

The years have born out the others' claim that PM is an immense ass. Still dig the hell out of his album Love Hysteria.Kory wrote: ↑14 Aug 2019, 1:27pmIt's funny that Burning is the easier one to listen to even though it's the one they did without Peter while he was in the hospital.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 Aug 2019, 1:22pmI quite like Burning From the Inside—wonderfully moody and varied.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Holy crud. Fingers crossed for the arse.
Also, I'm currently listening to Love Hysteria right now. The Boss, who knows not a lot about music, came in and said it sounds like an 80s record. Well, yes, it certainly does.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Well from a marketing standpoint its much easier to promote the vanilla stuff. Its so inoffensive, which is largely my view of a lot of "new wave". De-claw it and more people can enjoy it and more money can be made.Flex wrote: ↑14 Aug 2019, 12:34pmMarley is pretty similar in discographical content to the Clash, imho. It'd be like if there was a greatest hits for the clash that showcased mostly 1-2 crush on you and lover's rock and sidestepped, like, guns of brixton and stuff and that's how everyone remembered them.
Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Such a great album. File with Go For It, The Crack and Valley of the Dolls as second-tier punk bands making great straight-ahead guitar rock albums.

What a brilliantly ill conceived cover for a solo album by a great singer. It looks like one of those cassettes my Dad would buy in a service station and play in whatever car he'd bought for £200 in a pub that week.There would be a song about how much the fella missed his dead mother, a song about a fight in a tavern, why the Irish were great in bed, and a cheery novelty song about a dancing farmyard animal being exploited by a grifter.

My mate's favourite album. It is rather catchy and very good.

Burns always has, and always will be, drastically uncool. He even plays some shit lime green guitar with a Daffy Duck sticker on. I suppose it's good that SLF made it on purely musical terms without any real image to speak of.Silent Majority wrote: ↑15 Aug 2019, 2:54pmCross posted from twitter. Screenshot_20190815-194845.jpg

I used to have a Yamaha SG2000 the same as Jake played on Go For It. That guitar was great.Heston wrote: ↑15 Aug 2019, 3:21pmBurns always has, and always will be, drastically uncool.

That ESP EII that Jake plays nowadays made in Tokyo ain't cheap but I agree it does look shite.

Yeah, those SG2000s were great, had a similar model about 20 years ago.Marky Dread wrote: ↑15 Aug 2019, 3:49pmI used to have a Yamaha SG2000 the same as Jake played on Go For It.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Marnie Stern, This Is It & I Am It …. God, she is such a shit-hot guitarist, and I say this as someone who generally doesn't give a fuck about individual skills and all that. All of her albums are fucking captured electricity.
