HELLO, EVERYONE!!!

Hi,New to all of this. It's pretty good, though. Unlike MySpace and the like, it's a fair bet that most members on here have pretty spiffing tastes in music and the like.If I've sent you an add request, it's because I think you get "it", whatever "it" is.Cultural references; music, films, literature.If I've added a disproportionate number of people from Russia, it's probably Dostoevsky's fault. If you've mentioned Orwell or Vonnegut on your profile, that's the reason.If you've mentioned "Apocalypse Now", I can't help it. I probably love you already.Otherwise, I may just like the cut of your jib, or think your home town has a funny name.If you're French, it's probably because of student riots or "La Haine".If this sounds like an invitation to join a religious cult; don't worry, it isn't. At least not yet...I'm also on MySpace and Bebo;www.myspace.com/omniblobwww.bebo.com/THEBEAGRIEI also have a blog;www.stevebeagrie.comMainly geared towards my musical and literary interests. My book;http://www.amazon.co.uk/Every-Now-Then-Stephen-Beagrie/dp/1403395780/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207860097&sr=8-3If you don't want to add me, it's OK. If you do, strap yourself in for a bunch of pretentious horse-shit and bad poetry.Oh, and tell your friends. Tell all your friends...Much Love,Steve.

on the subject of "Bangers and mash" #2

Posted by rocky on April 8, 2008 at 12:30am
The bangers and mash live session video appeared sometime "last night" and I saw it this morning. Bangers and mash was a real favorite of mine and many others from the moment it appeared.... partly due to the name which refers to a hot meal. It's kind of a jazz-music name.... like referring the feel of the song as its title. The recording of bangers n mash published on the In Rainbows disc and record set had a lot of mutations from the original whilst keeping most of the lyrics written for the initial live performances of bangers n mash. The original live versions had overdriven guitars which sounded like the studio and most live Bodysnatchers do today, or how the song "Feeling pulled apart" sounded in a live performance from 2001.Surely can't be beat.But this new one has more detail and more breathing room. It reminds me of Sonic Youth 's "dirty" from 1992. Moreso this live version than the studio one (which has more synth sounds than "dirty"). and thom doing the vocal "moans" during the slow part. A song called "Swimsuit issue" from "dirty" has this kind of feel. The second verse has a completely new guitar part, i just realized. the range of the bangers and mash riff for jonny seems to have been extended fivefold, but i feel that the new ideas are quite fitting; if you're playing one of five parts in a band and you come up with something that seems even better than before then go for it . : ) the cymbals work by phil s. is exemplary --- he makes it sound like there are three drummers instead of two : )
