This Gas Rag demo is the freshest bit of HC I have heard in a while. http://www.mediafire.com/download/9fhc0 ... -_Demo.zip Their new single shreds accordingly, as it comes from the same session.
I've had this in my collection forever, but somehow it's never meant anything to me. Tonight I think I became a fan.
Been getting back into this one lately. I'm still an Aiden fan, so it's pretty cool to see Will doing something so different.
I guess its about gosh darn time I put Roscoe back in my rotation. Such soul, thanks for the reminder, RudeBeast
I still keep Five Steps... and Through the Looking Glass in constant rotation alongside a lot of Himsa. Two of the very few bands I put my lady through listening to constantly that she doesn't at all mind. Ha ha.
For some reason when I worked in NYC many many moons ago and got a promo of 'Clint Eastwood' by the Gorillaz I never explored them beyond that one single. It was a great single, but I think my feelings on Damon Albarn being a total Britpop twat ruined it for me. Recently I gave them another chance and I'm seeing that whole first LP in a different light. I especially like Double Bass, Soundcheck, and Tomorrow Comes Today, b-sides like Dracula etc. Anyhow wanting to find more tracks like Dracula and being a fan of Dub (not Dubstep- I fucking hate Dubstep) I discovered this gem called "Laika Come Home": The whole first Gorillaz LP remixed by Spacemonkeyz. Pretty good.
^^ Total Britpop twat ?! That's harsh He may be a tad pretentious . . . . . . I'm curious, do you have any examples for why you think he's a total twat?
First off let me start by saying I almost exclusively listen to British music. I have my whole life. So me calling Damon Albarn a twat, is not a condemnation on all British people or music. I'm a little older so I grew up listening to Joy Division, New Order, The Cure, Specials, JAMC, into Madchester bands, Shoegazing bands etc. BUT when Britpop came about it was a complete 360 from how grounded and special that other music was to me. I don't like Pop music. I've never listened to the radio. I remember liking the first Blur album but I think by the time Britpop came about I was a raver listening to DnB anyhow. Oasis annoys the shit out of me, especially Liam, so maybe I lumped Damon in with him?
^^ No problemo, i wasn't assuming you were condemning all British people or music! I'm a long-time Blur fan so i took it a bit personally . . . I think Britpop was dragged into the mainstream tabloids with all the stupid feuds between the bands etc . . . all the bullshit at the time detracted from the music. For the record, i also think Oasis suck. One of the most over-rated bands ever. I totally agree . . . Liam is a twat.
