Gold to Me - Ben Harper

that review was entirely superfluous.
Falling Out - Ween
Posted 21 years ago by a8o:
I think they got typecast a little with the success of "Waving My Dick in the Wind" and before that :"Pushing Little Daisies". Those songs would be the most famous (in the broader sense) Ween songs got a fair bit of play on radio when they were released and so nowdays when the name Ween is thrown about, those songs come to mind.
And so it makes it difficult when presented with a song as diverse as this to comprehend - this is the same band.
Don’t You Get It - Mark Knopfler

maybe I'm on the wrong radio station because all the other comments have been positive for this track.
Am I missing something? Sorry, just sounds like a really competent sunday guitar player, jamming with his mates down at the local bar over a few lite ales. That same level of SOUL, or lack thereof. There's just no FIRE in Knopfler and his music, sorry. Seems painfully obvious to me. maybe I'm missing something, but it's all just so mediocre. Great guitar technique, granted, but still mediocre, on the originality, intelligence, wit , dynamism scale.
Sorry to have treaded on any sacred cows' toes. Moooo.
I think most of the appeal is just that. That he can get around a fretboard well and constuct some luscious melodies. And the production on every ( ? ) Knopfler release is impeccable. So basically, you've got yourself an excellent guitar player who is extremely audible. And if that does something for you like it does me sometime (you've got to be in the mood I find), then you, my friend, are a Knopfler fan. Otherwise, listen some more and like Bob Dylan you'll understand jsut what is so great about this man even if listening to his music isn't an absolute pleasure. Although he does decend into wankery on occasion (try some live releases...my god, and the audience really WANT 10 minute solos?)
Still, there is sometihng worth hearing and worth appreciating here. You've just gotta search a little more.

Moonlight Sonata - Ludwig van Beethoven
Posted 21 years ago by a8o:
I thought it was a lacking rendition of this tune. Needed to be a little more confident in its material cause it's bloody good. I've grown up on this shit - me old man's loaded with classical LPs.

Oh shit, I just realised i wasn't listening to the stream but actually to Squarepusher's new album.
Apologies. That comment was unfounded. It obviously sucks balls.

Carbon Kid (w/ Brian Molko) - Alpinestars
Posted 21 years ago by a8o:
Molko's voice annoys the hell outta me so it get's ho-hum in that regard.
The music isn't crash hot either. Fuck off, next song.
Once Upon a Time in the West - Dire Straits

I've got three copies of this album on vinyl, don't know why. I can't decide which is in the best condition.

I may be alone here, but I really dislike this song. The sentiments are certainly romantic, but I'm not one for going sappy--and this pushes the reaches of sapville.

Amen.

What an amazing set... Patsy Cline's "Crazy" followed by Mr. Davis! A perfect way to spend some time at 4 am... can't wait to see what will be played next. Thanks RP! 
Again, the same tunes (Patsy CLine "Crazy" was just played) come up back to back. How strange.
But the segue was impressive. I love this track. Utter magnificent. I'm meant to be writing an essay for English class, but I can't be arsed right now. I'm just gonna listen to this station for a bit. Hopefully a good next song will come in and won't ruin my vibe.
