August 2003: Your Favourites. - Page 2

I've seen Xerxes post classical (however, not in the favourites of the month thread). I didn't know Tchaikovsky's middle name was Ilyich - you learn something every day! Did you know there's no star birth in eliptical galaxies - there's no loose matter floating around (no nebulas). This is because the actual space in elipticals can be white hot, smashing dust particals before they get a chance to gather. The stars are mostley between 10-14 billion years old.

taylormemer · 23rd August 2003, 07:34

Well there you go, I thought I had a good understanding of eliptical galexies. you learn something everyday.

Cylob · 23rd August 2003, 11:31

Last week I manned our Queen Street office, it's just one desk and a PC (no one to talk to). The PC was down, so I ended up reading a book on the universe (left by the book club). FOR 4 FUCKING HOURS!!!!!!

There's nothing I don't know about galaxies.

taylormemer · 23rd August 2003, 11:48

Fair enough. lol.

ShyShy · 24th August 2003, 05:42

adding on to my list

Single: Lumidee's "Break Away"
Album: Silverchair's "Frogstomp" btw... one of the cd's stolen, so, by cough*downloading*cough the album, it's like hearing for the first time again.

Cylob · 24th August 2003, 07:24

I have Frogstomp but I haven't had time to air it yet (embarrassment of riches and all that). Maybe one day I'll click on it (probably by accident - 'Silverchair' is next to 'Silverfish'.

taylormemer · 24th August 2003, 07:40

Silverchair i think is one of the greatest bands, for some reason they remind me of Nirvana.

Cylob · 24th August 2003, 07:52

Yeah, I'd put them in the grunge camp as well. Aren't they from down under Taylor? I'm into grunge circa 91-92, but albums after that seem to have passed me by.

taylormemer · 24th August 2003, 08:20

Yes they are from Australia Cylob.

Cylob · 24th August 2003, 16:41

Blank & Jones - Future Trance, Vol 2. Not party music, more like 'getting ready to party'. Funny how you can discover a trance act via The Cure.

ShyShy · 24th August 2003, 16:46

i'm very impressed with how Blank & Jones did "Forest", so i'll definitely be checking out your latest recommendation

Cylob · 24th August 2003, 16:50

I didn't find their remdition of Forest A+, more like C+. But it's hard to remix any track that's total class in the first place (I'm sure you agree).

Have you heard their remix of Pet Shop Boys/Home and Dry? More like A+.

ShyShy · 24th August 2003, 16:59

well, i found it hard to believe that anyone could remix any Cure song with a trance flavor, so, with what they had i was impressed.

gawd... what would i ever do without you, Cylob??? no i haven't seen that remix of "Home and Dry" yet, must take a looksie!

Cylob · 25th August 2003, 07:57

Radiohead - I Might Be Wrong
Pet Shop Boys - Rent (Francois K Mix)
Markus Nicolai - Bushes
Placebo - Speacial Needs
Ladytron - Seventeen (Droyd Mix)

Twilightseer · 25th August 2003, 08:55

Fave album for this month is "Happy Songs For Happy People" by Mogwai. This band is awesome.

Well, most remixes suck when it comes to Cure songs, according to me, it's quite hard to remix rock songs but it definitely shows with the Cure. Hell, look at what William Orbit (whom I like, though) did to Inbetween Days on the Mixed Up album. So yes, the Blank and Jones version seems even better than it is because of that

I almost bought a Mogwai CD in ’98, but I was put off by their name and appearance (ugly bastards). Never made it as far as the music. WHat does Mogwai mean anyway?

Twilightseer · 26th August 2003, 10:11

"Mogwai" I think is an entirely made-up name. It was used in the "Gremlins" movie : it's the name of that plush-like animal that turns into a gremlin if fed after midnight...

If you are to get Mogwai stuff, I strongly recommend the latest two albums "Rock Action" and "Happy Songs For Happy People" : wonderful instrumental (sometimes sung) rock with strings and guitars.
I'm not to fond of "Come On Die Young", considered as their masterpiece (kind of heavy instrumental rock anthems)

Figures, as they resemble gremlins. Anyway thanks for the tip, first albums can be critical.

Cylob · 27th August 2003, 14:54

Adding to my (now) lengthy list:
The Kills - Keep on Your Mean Side

Nice. Similar in style to BRMC, Raveonettes, Jesus & Mary Chain.

Twilightseer · 27th August 2003, 14:59

Read some very good reviews about the Kills, will check the out

Cylob · 27th August 2003, 15:02

Good to hear it. I'm checking out Mogwai (sampling phase).
