I'm 99% sure I got A's in 5 of my 6 classes. It's that other one that I'm worried about, because my teacher was a dumbass. Dead

I'm just glad it's over though. I don't have a job this summer either, so it'll be complete free time.

I won't know what to do at certain points I imagine. LOL

Well, not in the conventional/musical sense, I think. The Doors were essentially a roots rock/pop rock/blues rock (at different times) band which brought in half a million psychedelic elements but still kept very much in touch with the visceral essence of rock. I hadn't really thought of them as self-indulgent, for some reason, combining alcohol/drugs with rock music isn't self-indulgent LOL, and The Doors aren't often particularly obtuse or difficult to understand.


That's a pretty good argument.

But still, self-indulgent doesn't mean bad. Wink


Approve

*nods agreement*

Impressions of TAGM listen 2:
  • It does sound like a VDGG album, even without the sax, overdubs or organo-massiv.
  • The love songs are generally a shade better than the unusual psych ones.
  • Despite this, I can remember the second half better than the first half.
  • The title track is hilarious
  • Ferret & Featherbird is probably the best thing I can remember, but it's still half as good as the one on In Camera.

I don't know how to write reviews for my favorite albums without sounding like a foaming-at-the-mouth fanboy.  For example, look at my review of Of Queues and Cures.  Terrible.

That's why I dare not review a Henry Cow album.  I don't think "ZOMG THIS PWNS THE WORLD!!11!" is of any value to anyone.

WRONG!!!!

The Aerosol Grey Machine was originally recorded as a Hammill solo album with the presence of the members of Van Der Graaf Generator at the time, including Keith Ellis, Hugh Banton and Guy Evans. However, it was released, via a deal with the record company, under the VDGG name, thus making it their debut album.

Also, you needed to know that Wink

I have that album around here somewhere, actually. Probably only listened to part of it. LOL
