It was really long, I didn't realize how long it would take when I started. Whoops, it's 4:40am again... Harry, Vivaldi rules, don't you implicitly talk about him that way by saying Baroque sucks. And I did end up buying the Vivaldi CD twice accidentally, and now I can't cancel it because it's already shipped. :(
You should be sorry. |

Vivaldi played some mean violin and I dig some of his work, so I was kinda exaggerating when I said all of Baroque sucks. It's just not up to the quality of Romantic or some of the 20th century shiz.
Four Seasons is a good occasional listen. After a while, there is something almost grating about the use of pedal point lines being used so much though. It could be because Yngwie Malmsteen and every single neo-classical guitar virtuoso ever since has over-used the pedal point thing though, I dunno. |

I'll compromise.
Family Guy is funnier and I prefer the purile and below-the-belt humour. The Simpsons episodes flow and work as a story better. Mike is right. Series 1-7 are excellent. |

It's been a long time since The Simpsons kicked ass, I tell ya now.

But it is. It's basically Henry Cow under the Art Bears moniker. Edited by James - March 11 2009 at 06:38 |

Damn it, why are Art Bears better than Henry Cow?
Well... Hopes and Fears is better than IPoL. Easily so too. This album is fantastic. In Two Minds is an avant-prog version of The Who. Brilliant! |

Yay, two days off from work. Time to listen to music, perhaps finish a review of Metallica's Live sh*t box and have a nostalgia rush with Alfred J. Kwak http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_J._Kwak

I can almost imagine Frith dressed up and doing the whole Pete Townshend circular arm thing. It happens to be better than The Who as well. Greaves has some lovely fuzz bass on there. |

Have you heard In Two Minds by Art Bears then? It's not squeaky noise. |
