not Revolver ??



my latest (since i've been converting vinyl to MP3 :

(Sparks - about 12 different albums)


and (lord i'm gonna take shit for this) :

That's got some goodies on it. I've always dug Tomorrow Never Knows and Taxman off that one. Its just a case of overplaying a lot of the older classic bands and kinda killing it for myself.

Never heard Sparks before... ABBA have always creeped me out :)

Sparks are a power pop band from LA that transplanted to the UK.

I dont know how to describe them ... i dont think most people would get them but i think they have the best lyrics of any other band ... really odd and goofy .. alien almost.

worth checking out just to satisfy your curiosity ..

do a search for the song : This Town Aint Big Enough For the Both of Us,

or anything else off of the album : Kimono My House

the music always compliments the lyrics ... something most bands dont even bother with.


here's the lyrics for Amateur Hour - off of the same album...


Lawns grow plush in the hinterlands
It's the perfect little setting for the one night stands
Now the drapes are drawn and the lights are out
It's the time to put in practice what you've dreamed about

She can show you what you must do
To be more like people better than you

Chorus:
Amateur Hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know - she'll let you know
Amateur Hour goes on and on
When you turn pro you know
She tells you so

Girls grow tops to go topless in
While we sit and count the hairs that blossom from our chins
Our voices change at a rapid pace
I could start a song a tenor and then end as bass

Choose your partners everyone
If you hesitate, the good ones are gone

(Chorus)

Dance, laugh, wine, dine, talk and sing
But those cannot replace what is the real thing
It's a lot like playing the violin
You cannot start off to be Yehudi Menuhin

(Chorus)








oh .. and as far as ABBA goes .. i have no excuses - i'm an unashamed fan :)

I can't make fun of you... I have the Gold album on my playlist.

They sound pretty cool. Kinda like Zappa meets Queen but their own thing.
Found a video for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8p8PYV86wo they guy with the mustache is great so deadpan :D

yeah - he's a weird guy ... paper thin with a hitler mustache and a 1940's hairstyle..

Ron and Russel Mael (singer) are brothers. they have about 20 albums out over the years and recently put on a huge series of concerts in the UK where they performed each album - 1 per concert ... verbatim.

i throw up in my mouth just from hearing the trailer.:p

NIN - The Slip
Nomeansno - All Roads Lead To Ausfahrt
Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Evil Curse of the Vampires

It'd be quite a interesting show for sure. I'd rather see eccentric bands like them than a lot of the revived rock bands from the era.

@ Mothman:

Fuck yeh... Negative Approach are one of my favorites.

A couple of F.U's albums:
