Signs of the apocalypse...

--- Quote from: Rubby ---I was gonna say something smart to add to this but now it’s 3:00 in the morning and I’m too tired. I just wanted to add that I love it when people get into music arguments with BB because:
1) They get totally killed.
2) I learn stuff.

I don't know if I'm really "winning" an argument here. I think he just misunderstood my position, and I'm explaining it here. Learning stuff is always good. I was thinking about this last night. I love music an incredible amount. Seriously. And learning about somehting I love is incredible. I highly recommen that, in honour of this thread, everyone go out and buy a book about some aspect of music that they've kind of wanted to know about for a while, but never got around to it. I would do the same, but I already own about five or six that I have yet to read.

I think a lot of people here should enjoy this, if theyve not already seen it.

A percussion ensemble from my youth orchestra in high school played Zappa's "G-String Tornado." It was pretty hot.
Garcin:
I have never seen a book published within the last five years, on the pop/rock scene, that I thought was worth a damn. I'm not saying it's not out there -- but if it is, I'm definitely not aware of it. The commentary that you tend to get from professional media varies from obvious to painful. (For example, check out the NPR radio performance of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in DC. You learn two things: Karen O wears tattered clothes, and they sound a lot better live.)
You want to recommend one, I'll order it, and then we can do some kind of music nerd book club (yay!).
Bastardous Bassist:
Oh, that would be sweet, but I don't know shit about the pop/rock scene, and the books I need to read are older anyways, before I can move up to anything current. Hell, I still haven't read Miles's autobiography.
karl gambolputty...:
It's an excellent book. I particularly love the chapter on the Butthole Surfers. Simon Reynold's Rip It Up and Start Again is also awesome, if you are into the British Post-Punk scene.

Bauhaus supporting NIN!? Trent Reznor should be cleaning Peter Murphys shoes with his goddamn tongue!

I heard about that. Such a shame.
Nine Inch Nails has become so removed from gothic music (were they ever even really apart of it?)
