  1. I looking to buy some of his music. I want Hymnen, Gesang Der Junglinge or Kontakte(the original 1950's recordings not the remakes). Does anyone know a site that sells hard to find records or cd's.
  2. Oh and I meant opinion on bands. The radio thing is a FACT ask anyone.
  3. Oh I wasn't trying to be mean and I never said you couldn't listen to them I just think they are weak and I did say RAGE did all the same things in every song so I agree with you.
  4. What???! Are you guys being serious? I'm not some big RATM fan and I do think that all their songs do the same thing, but Audioslave really do you want some wine with that cheesey [bleep] name. Chris Cornell was awesome in Sound Garden but he's weak now maybe he's spending to much time on gelling his hair. Audioslave is RATM but with no emotion and more MTV friendly(looks and attitude wise). When I listen to it I just dont feel like it has a soul I wish I could explain it better but thats my opinion
  5. Have you ever heard of Clear Channel. Well its plain to see you don't but let me inform you. "Clear Channel owns stations in 247 of the nation's 250 largest radio markets. Clear Channel in particular dominates the Top 40 format and controls 60 percent of rock-radio listening. Want your record played on one of those stations? Be prepared to pay -- dearly -- for the privilege. Want your band's concert to be sponsored by a radio station? Be careful: If you pick a competitor, the behemoth might pull your songs off its playlists overnight -- from two, 10, 100 stations. Looking for classy radio programming? Don't look here. The company is known for allowing animals to be killed live on the air, severing long-standing ties with community and charity events, laying off thousands of workers, homogenizing playlists and a corporate culture in which dirty tricks are a way of life. Welcome to the world of Clear Channel -- radio's big bully." http://dir.salon.com/ent/feature/2001/04/30/clear_channel/index.html Go to this site read it for yourself this is not my opinion. So what we get to hear is what about 12 executives want us to hear or who has the most money to pay for airtime. So read up and think about it dont follow everything so blindly and you might find some good music out there.
  6. I think Pink Flamingos is art and a little of a gross out. It does something to you you cant forget and when it comes to the scene with the dude and his butthole it makes feel something even if it is sick it makes you feel. Movies dont do that anymore they want to think and feel for you.
  7. I think people's definition of punk differs from mine if you ask some one what type of music they like and they say punk then you ask what band and they say Sum 41 it goes with out saying they don't know what punk is. When I think about punk I think about the people that where punk before it had its name usually called Proto-punk like The Velvet Underground, Iggy and the Stooges, Captain Beefheart, MC5. Punk is dead now there is to few(good) bands left(and the ones that are good are ripping off the older bands) to keep it alive but we still have the older(better) bands to keep us on our toes. So dont dis punk for what people are doing to it now.
  8. These are the bands I hate. Creed Nickel Back Dave Matthews Phish Metallica Do you remember when musicians tried to do something different instead of putting out the same song over and over again. When people didn't have to record 50 guitars to make them sound heavy. IM sorry people Creed and NickelBack are not heavy, not artists, not intense, not metal they are the Bon Jovi of our time. Now Phish and Dave Matthews I respect as musicians but I find it very cookie cutter. I have had to many experiences with Phish and Dave Matthews fans getting upset that I don't worship the ground they walk on. When I say that I respect them, just dont like them they usually flip out and say I dont understand music and will go on with their spill about how Phish is awesome. This might be a stereo type but to show you how well I know phish fans. If you ask a Phish fan what type of music they like they will say.....bluegrass They will say the don't like Widespread Panic but will drive 3 hours to see them play and vice versa. Most Phish fans like Government Mule, MOE, Bela Flec, and Allman Brothers. ***Rule of thumb if you go to a show and there is a bunch of 13 year old girls there the band you are listening to is not punk, metal, and wont be remembered in 20 years unless as a joke. If you go to a show and a bunch of frat boys and rich girls are there the band is not underground.
  9. Awesome I have never even heard about it. Does it have sub titles.
  10. Let me see millions. I dont think I know 5 people that have saw these movies and I go to FullSail a school that has thousands of future film directors. He also did Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart and The Straight Story. He is one of my favorite directors
  11. Maybe some of you have heard of these bands maybe not but this might help. 1. Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band Trout Mask Replica The most unique record you will ever hear combines blues, jazz, and rock. I would say he is the Picasso of music. It sounds like they aren't even playing together but if you have ever listened to John Coltrane you will understand what he is trying to do. The Captains voice is able to make sounds you wouldn't think a human could do and he writes about stuff you wouldn't think about and this is all done in the 60's. Captain Beefheart has influenced tons of punk bands, Radiohead, and any other band that is doing something different. PLAY IT SAFE THOUGH IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN CAPTAIN BEEFHEAT BUY "SAFE AS MILK" TO GET YOUR FEET WET BEFORE JUMPING IN THE DEEP END. 2. The Velvet Underground All four studio albums are excellent. Consisting of Lou Reed the velvet underground wrote about things that is still shoved in the closet today. All the records are 10's in my book but my personal favorite is the self titled CD(at least right now I switch time from time). It seems like they are getting more known because of the Strokes saying they like them(more like ripped there whole image off). These records changed my life if you are thinking about buying a strokes record do yourself a favor and buy a Velvets record instead. 3. Television Marquee Moon If you think the guy from the Viloent Femmes has a unique voice buy this record it will change your opinion. Awesome guitar parts. 3. Wire = Pink Flag 4. Big Star = Radio City 5. The Pixies = Doolittle 6. Iggy and the Stooges = Raw Power 7. Can = Tago Mago 8. Pere Ubu = The Modern Dance 9. Kraftwerk = Trans Europe Express 10. Lou Reed = Transformer 11. Patti Smith = Horses 12. Elvis Cosello = This Years Model 13. 13th Floor Elevators = The Psychadelic Sounds of If you like Jazz check out. Ornette Coleman(influenced Lou Reed) John Coltrane(influenced Captain Beefheart) These are my opinions and if you haven't heard of these bands dont feel bad but dig for better music dont let the radio tell you what is good when you know its not(Creed, NickleBack). The best bands are usually not on the radio and thats a fact.
  12. This is for true movie fans not you people who think "Varsity Blues" is a classic. This is for you people who are tired of the same old thing they spoon feed us now. This for you people who want to see something different and want a movie to make you think not think for you. I only said this stuff as stupid as it seems to make sure there would be no confusion because these movies arent for everybody but if you really understand the definition of art and think of movies as art not entertainment these movies are for you. I wish somebody would have done this for me so here it is in no order. Eraserhead Brazil El Topo Pink Flamingos Un Chein Andalou The Exterminating Angel Crumb There are more but check these out if you want more just write.
