I can't imagine shelling out the cash it would take to go to the cinema enough times to have seen enough films that I had to cut the list down to a top 10 per year. I went to the cinema maybe once in '08. And I'm a film enthusiast and student.splitenzfreak @ 01/07/2009 08:03 PM : Re: The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society
His guitar work on [i]The Dance[/i] is amazing, especially that melodically flowing part-Spanish/part-classical style on the lighter songs. What sort of guitar is that... [wi:LBTD] ?joshua_henry_snape @ 01/07/2009 08:02 PM : Ironically, the bands mentioned on here are quite popular.
Devil Doll to me really are teetering on the edge between experimental rock and experimental metal. The guitars (albeit rarely prominent) have a certain aesthetic of metal music even if they aren't particularly that heavy or chaotic. The vocals have that "I am the lord of insert generic ominous name of place" attitude and it's all a bit dark. Can't really put my finger on why but to me they are metal. Even the pianos through "Eliogabulus" are as metallic as zinc.divided @ 01/07/2009 08:00 PM : Re: Medieval significance in Metal Music???
medieval history was awesome. who wouldn't want to be a part of that? and, it's a big part of history, especially european history. what do we (Americans) have to sing about? the civil war?elgringocolombiano @ 01/07/2009 08:00 PM :
G.O.Z. said: I will agree that post-[i]Soul Survivor[/i] Pete Rock wasn't the same calibur as Pete Rock of the early/mid '90s, but I hardly consider that "falling off". The beats on [i]PeteStrumentals...[/i] imho PeteStrumentals is a dope slept-on instrumental hip hop album. imho, superior to the stanned-on J Dilla "Donuts", for instance.streetmouse @ 01/07/2009 07:59 PM :

Props for putting WALL·E over The Dark Knight.divided @ 01/07/2009 07:58 PM : Re: scientific attempt at most wanted and least wanted song
those are both hilarious. most unwanted? i'd listen to that a hundred times before i'd listen to anything by nirvana.RockMonster @ 01/07/2009 07:56 PM :
I actually own a copy of 'Fabio After Dark'...but then again...I own discs by these 2 artists,as well...[Artist7741] & [Artist66249] . Go figure!Aqueronte @ 01/07/2009 07:55 PM : Re: The Lindsey Buckingham Appreciation Society
I just got Tusk only because Kronz said it's so great with such conviction, I hope it is, I don't like throwing money away. And I like Fleetwood Mac a lot. The Peter Green era is great, so is the post-Green era, I love Mystery to Me and Rumours. Gonna buy the self titled probably next week.G.O.Z. @ 01/07/2009 07:55 PM :
Frankly, it's incredibly stupid when black people use the "N" word so loosely and irresponsibly. I understand that they use it so much to try and make it less taboo, but the whole damn purpose is defeated when you're gonna be offended anyway when a non-black person uses it. How's a brotha gonna go around saying "nigga nigga nigga" like it's nothing and then turn around and take offense when one of his non-black friends says it? Either the word is offensive or it's not.hopalong_ @ 01/07/2009 07:55 PM : Top 10 of 2008
I do this geeky thing every year where I make a Top 10 of the best films I've seen in the cinema the last year. So for 2008: 1. Diving Bell and the Butterfly 2. Wall*E 3. Gone Baby Gone 4. Waltz with Bashir 5. Young @ Heart 6. The Visitor 7. King of Kong 8. Up the Yangtze 9. Dark Knight 10. You, The Living I do watch a lot of bad films each year, but there's always plenty of good ones as well. Worst: Max Payne tetragrammaton @ 01/07/2009 07:54 PM : Re: YouTubeDoubler

A summary of our current situation: King Of The Hill isn't a bad show but it doesn't really fit on [as]. They should have gotten Beavis and Butthead! Drinky Crow is good but not great. Superjail is great. The PJ's = suck. New Xavier in february = win. New Tim & Eric in february = eh. Please let Squidbillies die.nh3 @ 01/07/2009 07:53 PM :

[quote cravenmonket] I finished Season 5 a few weeks ago after a memorable year of getting all the seasons on Netflix and watching them in sequence. I'm now depressed that there is nothing even remotely approaching the excellence of the show out there for me to watch next. Although, I did just get a few episodes of Homicide: Life On the Street on Netflix, and it's not a bad substitute. It features the excellent Clark Johnson (the Sun editor [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gus_Haynes,Gus Haynes] from Season 5 of The Wire). I guess the producers and writers are the same group of people, and the style is similar. Not as good, obviously, but pretty decent.[/quote]Yeah I'm kinda concerned about the day, which will inevitably come, when I finish it and realise that all other TV is worthless. Still, 4 seasons to go...

Playing Guitar - A Reflection Of Your Soul
By Arthor Pens
The guitar, be it electric or acoustic, is the most versatile of instruments. You can strum a few chords, adopt a highly disciplined classical guitar technique, or play sophisticated jazz chord and scale progressions. The choice is yours. Whatever your bag, the journey to achieving your goal and the fundamental sound is the real buzz.

It's a funny thing, but is unlike most other activities. Take football for example, there is no escaping the fact that if you want to play pro-football you had better be good and there are no short cuts. Technique and fitness is an absolute must. Musical expression is different and shares may similarities with the spoken word. A few well chosen words can be far more effective than a tidal wave of sophisticated verbal statement. So it is with playing the guitar.

Arguably, the most successful singer songwriter who ever lived is Bob Dylan, whose delivery is based essentially on guitar sounds combined with an awesome skill as a lyricist. His musical structure is generally simple - but the simplicity of the combined with great hook lines and lyrics is bang on the nail as a musical statement.

So the fact to take on board is that technical ability has little to do with musical talent. If your groove is a simple country, reggae or blues feel you can be damn good and highly relevant without being a technical genius. The simple player who plays with feel and taste is a musician, the same as a highly accomplished classical or jazz guitarist. It is amazing how formally trained musicians, i.e. classical, or other technical jazz players, are usually the most ineffective exponents

of rock, country, pop or blues music.

Playing guitar is essentially an attitude, combined with feel and the necessary musical knowledge to express what you wish to play. Don't be fooled into following the path of so many potentially great musicians and be fazed by more accomplished players. When you tune in to the simplicity of a player such as the great blues guitarist B. B. King, you can't help but be affected by his economy of notes, played in such a meaningful, soulful musical context.

Playing guitar has an infinite number of possibilities. It is the most adaptable, useable instrument, and it's the journey to your goal that's the fun part. You will never stop learning guitar. Each time you pick it up you will discover something new and it needn't be hard to play to be relevant!
