Incidentally, if you like flugelhorns I recommend the Art Farmer Quartet's Sing Me Softly Of The Blues - jazz without a hint of rock, but some splendid flugelhorn and two immense compositions by Carla Bley.
 
Anyway, back to the Censoreding ranting ...

"Theatre" is spelled "theater" in the US


Syzygy is just horsing around, of course.  Actually, both spellings are acceptable and used in the US.

I still think Hamster Theatre (who also hails from the US) is better, and not just for their spelling of theatre/ theater.  But as for Hamstre Theatre.  Angry Hate it when hamster is spelt that way.

HAmster


 
I once saw in the window of a pet shop somewhere in Essex a sign which read 'Hampster's' - I think even hamstre would be preferable to that. And let's not forget the long running Essex blues band The Hamsters - but let's leave the Pet Shop Boys out of this discussion.

It's been almost two years since DT's last studio release. I remember back in the 70s it wasn't uncommon for bands to release an album every 9 months. Do you have a double standard?

I'm not a big DT fan, but I respect them and like (most) of their music. They are very talented musicians, but their talent isn't wasted. They play what they know, and they play it well. I know these guys aren't very sonically creative, but not everybody can be a Sonic Youth.

What's wrong with ripping people off? If rock guitarists didn't rip off blues guitarists all the time, we really wouldn't have rock. And don't you dare say it isn't the same; Clapton plays Albert King's solo in Crosscut Saw on Strange Brew. I think that's the same with DT playing a melody that sounds like something by Kansas.

You think you're all high and mighty by deriding DT, but you're only deriding yourself. This attitude is what makes people hate prog; many prog fans hate anything derivative or unoriginal, no matter how good it is. Get off your pedestal, and try to be open-minded.

And another thing AngryAngryAngryAngry
 
Apparently Dream Censoreding Theater are releasing another Censoreding album - I mean for Censored's sake it only seems like 5 minutes since Censoreding Octavarium came out and every other thread on the Censoreding forum was devoted to that Censoreding, Censoreding total Censoreding squandering of talent and electricity and then the CensoredCensoreding live album and then the Censoreding DVD and then the Censoreding live album with orchestra and then the Censoreding DVD of that as well I mean don't those guys ever take a Censoreding holiday you'd think they could just Censored off to Barbados for a decade or so and wait for Yes and Metallica to release some more material for them to rip off but what really Censoreds my Censoreds is the way that every Censoreding note of music they ever Censoreding fart out gets about eight Censoreding trillion 5 star reviews, half of them before the Censoreding thing has even been released.
 
OK, I'll say no more about it and I hope that DT's numerous fans thoroughly enjoy the latest release from their heroes. The CensoredCensoredCensoreds!

[QUOTE=The-Bullet]Unbe f***ing lievable. Am I now being forced to give Jeffrey Archer money via my TV license fee also ? Way to go, bloody BBC. Angry [/QUOTE]
 
Reminds me of a poem I once wrote:
 
If I was on television
I'd be forward and upfront
If I could speak to the nation
I'd call Jeffrey Archer a ....
 
Well you can probably see where it was going. I can't remember all of it, but there were verses dealing with his latest book (But nobdy gives a ....), Archer getting plastered (What a total ... ) appearing in a farce, weighing anchor, having a luxury flat and so on.
 
I wrote to the BBC and offered to read it - I though it might go down well on Terry Wogan - but for some reason they never got back to me. Perhaps my poetic vision was too subtle for them.

Animated sig pix are the thingy that pee's me off. And, even worse, enormous sig pix that take up the whole screen when it's just a one-line reply like "I agree".

I do admit, though, that bunches of kids mouthing off outside shops is annoying. I'm just becoming an old t**t, I guess.

It was repealed after Avon & Somerset police tried to arrest 90,000 people at the Glastonbury Festival for loitering within tent.

Things currently peessing me off and need to get of my chest:

1. Corridor Gangs: About 5 or 6 in a line in front of you, walking slow as hell, this happens in college, the gits have no consideration for people who actually want to get somewhere.

2. Bums: hanging outside Tesco, with their "Oh look at me I'm so effing cool and hard, yeah and I'm with my cool friends" sort of kids, bumming around in a big gang shouting, swearing and messing around, are these human beings???, well they are not hard or cool, just a pathetic idiots who THINK they're great and big and cleaver AngryDead

Rant Over......

A fine rant, sir - exactly the kind of thing this thread was set up for; full-on, no nonsense, undiluted bile.

A bit rich coming from a scouser, though...
