My brother bought the Morphine greatest hits cause I took the backcatalogue to spain with me and sez he´s not that thrilled with it. I like each of their albums as much as the other, tho Like Swimming was my intro to them and is in my cdplayer a little bit more cause it has Wishing Well on it, my vote for slinkiest bassline ever.

I'm hoping to go see Mark Lanegan as well, its one of my fave albums of the year.
Hence:
Mark Lanegan - Bubblegum
The Golden Virgins - Songs Of Praise (admittedly, this may not be available in Canadia)
Jeff Buckley - Sketches for My Sweetheart The Drunk
Godspeed You Black Emperor - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennae To Heaven
I don't read as much as I should, but one I found deeply superb recently was 'Cry The Beloved Country' by Alan Paton.

Morphine is one of my favorite bands but everytime I look for their cd's all I can find is their gr hits...and I only buy greatest hits when it's a band whose entire catalog isn't necessary. So I'm still searching... I have The Night. That's all I can bloody well find.

Ah but they do - you nearly had the utterly delicious Mastodon in Sheffield but they landed up cancelling - between Leeds and Sheffield I think we've got a pretty bum deal on the gig thing. |

This doesn't help you now, but maybe it'll be of use to someone else. If anyone's thinking of buying any older Cure albums, you might consider putting it off for awhile. Next year, the entire Cure catalog right up to Bloodflowers gets reissued as a series of double CD sets. |

go full scale trash with motley crue - the dirt for reading material and as for music, if you do not have 80s matchbox b-line disaster - horse of the dog (is this getting tiresome from me yet?), mark lanegan - bubblegum and spend the change on getting drunk. |

That's what happens when such self-absorbed artists fall in love...
Don't get me wrong...I love the pumpkins and Zwan...
I was crying at the concert because the just reminded me of the break-up I was going through at the time the album came out...I used it as therapy. song #5 especially.

sorta kinda. pumpkins had some happy songs. but zwan also had religious under and overtones in a lot of the songs. not everyone's cup of tea lyrically, but billy is a very good songwriter and if you can appreciate the craftsmanship of the songs then it's a great album.
'adore' is certainly his best, though. |

of course you get to interpret things and filter them more in a book than a film. but no more so than say, music, photography, painting, etc. film is the most explicit medium.
but my point was that a good book does not leave everything to the imagination of the reader. and as i said, the point of reading it is to see what the author's imagination came up with.
O.K. maybe it was a bad comparative. Of course there's no point an author leaving everything to the imagination of the individual, you might as well sit on a sofa and day dream. But a good author should be able to take an imagination into hitherto unexplored regions, does that make sense? or am I wittering... er...
I do like books that are explicit in their descriptive text, I mentioned 'dune' before that is one of the most thorough books I have ever read and one of my favourite books too (mega geek) but then books like 'post office' - bukowski are so sprawly and random and poetic and yeah full of holes but the holes are skanky and should only be looked in if you are of strong constitution, umm whats naked lunch, i suppose thats descriptive and skanky, I like books that make me work a bit, that force you to think in different ways entirely.
Which reminds me, I've lost my point entirely, sorry very tired and very ill today
