Thanks, I hate it!

"Cortez the Killer" for me, which is why I needed Zuma.

Other days it's "The Needle and the Damage Done" "My My Hey Hey/Hey Hey My My" or "Crime in the City (Sixty to Zero Part I)"

I love this version of Cortez. Can't park the car until it's done playing, I just keep driving around.

Yeah, no.

Will it even register 0? Or do I have to make it a 1?

De La Soul marathon since to rinse the taste of this shit out of my ears.

I didn’t pick it the fucker who wrote the book subjected us to that nonsense.

You have to make it a 1.

I’m just glad you guys aren’t like, “what’s wrong with you? this is brilliant.”

The Divine Comedy ~ Casanova

1/5.

 

[Whiteout75]

Catching up.

Portishead - Dummy: Great album by a band with a very distinct and unique sound. Had basically just heard the singles before, but the whole album still brought back some nostalgic memories. Score: 4 stars

"Rust never sleeps": One of the best rock albums ever recorded. Score: 5 stars.

The Divine Comedy - "Casanova": Yeah...not my thing. Although I think it's meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek? Still....no. Score: 1 star

 

[Whiteout75]

..and just to be clear. I tend to enjoy the kind of tongue-in-cheek profane romanticism that The Divine Comedy attempt here. Father John Misty and The Magnetic Fields are masterful at this very same genre. But Divine Comedy are just hard to listen to. Why is it on this list?

I mean, isn't Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit on the list too?

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

I'm only a few songs in, but I love this Divine Comedy album so far. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Never heard anything from them before.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Ok, could do without In & Out of Paris and London.

 

[CrazyDiamond84]

Songs of Love is really good after a couple of stinkers.

I hadn't listened to them before but I knew I'd probably enjoy it if Lee and Joe Mac didn't. Almost done with the album and I'd probably give it a 3. Don't love it but don't hate it.

I think that's where I'll end up, unless it takes a crazy turn. A solid 3, but could see a 3.5 if I familiarized myself with it in the future.

I've come across them online from time to time, but never bothered to listen. It's not doing anything for me. It's not causing revulsion, but this has not enticed me to ever listen to anything else of theirs on purpose. 1.5/5

 

[Wicked Dreamer]

52 minutes of mid. 2/5

Man, I'm at 33 Neil releases (Vinyl, I don't catalog the rest), y'all are impressive.

View attachment 169925

Now bootlegs, back in the CD trading days i had Neil boots coming through the mail on a daily basis. I've probably got 2-3 shoeboxes full of Neil bootlegs. Favorite of all of them is A Perfect Echo if you can search it out, 10 discs of soundboard quality performances over the years.

Sadly, I only catalogue vinyl as well.

And boots? I'm a taper. You know what kinda shape I'm in.

Not ashamed.
