Geir threads pawp!

Ween. Somewhere in an alternate universe, another version of Geir has a rabid evil insane sense of humor to match his love of the melody, and that Geir is a Ween fanatic.

Carole King - Tapestry. Geir you need this album!

Already have it.

Not that good. A bit too Brill Building (as in harmonically over-simple)

two years pass...

hey Geir, what do you think of Höst?? I listened to Hardt Mot Hardt last night ... pretty good! Seems like they would be up your alley.

I mentioned it on the Fall vs. Wire thread but I don't know if you saw it. You said "Wire, clearly." Have you heard the Fall's first two albums from the nineties, Shift Work and Code: Selfish? Probably their most tuneful and I think you would really like them!

I think I did the diacritical mark wrong. It's supposed to be the one where the 'O' has a slash through it.

does he like the free design?

Chords in the "harmonically over-simple" "It's Too Late": Am7, D6, D13-5, Dm7, Fmaj7, Bbmaj7, Gm7, E7sus4, E7, G7sus4, G7, Cmaj7. We are not talking about a I-IV-V song here, Geir...

― Douglas (Douglas), Sunday, 8 January 2006 21:22 (twenty years ago)

Høst was some kind of heavy rock band weren't they? Only heard a song or two, which sounded better and less bluesy than Led Zeppelin or Deep Purple at least.

The Free Design was a bit _too_ soft and nice, I guess. Kind of in the same way that I also find Air and High Llamas.

You are an enignma salad inside of a mystery sandwich.

Yes, basically. They tend to be lumped with the prog scene though. They have one really nice song - a twee "ode to a cat" - called "Nattergalen", but most of the rest is pretty forgettable.

Did you ever get around to Caravan, by the way?

― Øystein (Øystein), Monday, 9 January 2006 10:39 (twenty years ago)

Caravan is OK, but I wish they'd used more keyboards (including synths). Good prog needs lots of keyboards.

so how do you guys feel about Aunt Mary? Listened to Janus last night ... that's a damn good record.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 9 January 2006 16:00 (twenty years ago)

I think Geir should like Spoon; their new album should have been on his "best of 2005" but wasn't.

― National Roffle Association (Paul in Santa Cruz), Monday, 9 January 2006 16:08 (twenty years ago)

Aunt Mary = boring R&B with exaggerated "soulful" vocals.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 9 January 2006 16:34 (twenty years ago)

yeah maybe, but there are good melodies on the later record!! Damn, I just can't win with you Geir. you are one tough customer. Where is your Norwegian pride?

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Monday, 9 January 2006 17:01 (twenty years ago)

I am not a fan of hard rock. Also I am not a fan of anything that is too obviously influenced by the Blues

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 9 January 2006 19:10 (twenty years ago)

have you heard much early Alice Cooper, Geir?

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Monday, 9 January 2006 19:42 (twenty years ago)

Geir, what is your favourite Todd Rundgren song?

― Deluxe (Damian), Monday, 9 January 2006 20:18 (twenty years ago)

Geir, what is your favourite Todd Rundgren song?

Either "I Saw The Light" or "Couldn't I Just Tell You". Unoriginal, I know.

And, as for Alice Cooper, I do indeed like early Alice Cooper. If early means up to cirka the mid 70s. Just look at http://www.rateyourmusic.com/~GeirH and you'll easily see what I like from the 70s.

i gotta admit, your 1973 list is tops.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 00:36 (twenty years ago)

I'm glad you picked the Jayhawk's Rainy Day Music on your 2003 list...that was a good album but no one gave a shit about the Jayhawks anymore in 03.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 00:39 (twenty years ago)

Geir, why do you hate Paris 1919 so?

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 00:46 (twenty years ago)

I know nothing about Paris 1919 except it was a peace conference :)

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 02:06 (twenty years ago)

I have no quibble with your favourite Todd Rundgren songs, Geir. My favourite is "Real Man" but the two you picked are in my Top 10 anyway :).

― Deluxe (Damian), Tuesday, 10 January 2006 14:46 (twenty years ago)

manic street preachers - lifeblood

having given up on the manics years ago when i came across this beautifully unstated album i had to check the credits to make sure it was actually the same band that had bored me for so long.
