I had to send someone detailed instructions on how to complete a PDF form on their iPhone the other day. They didn't have a printer or a computer.

In fairness it's not as easy as it should be.

My expectations of the Grateful Dead and the reality are basically 180 degrees apart. On paper, they have cool artwork, a cool name, huge long songs, drugs, and a weird cultish fan base. On listening… a wet fart that smells of patchouli and disappointment.

I too was really disappointed that they didn't live up to my imagined expectations. However, once I got over that I really like a handful of their songs. The whole package of tie-died white hippies and drugged-out jams is not for me though. I'm also a little disappointed that contemporary bluegrass artist Billy Strings appears to have been co-opted by these people.

Good logo though

Garcia had a nice guitar too

Primal Scream were another misleadingly named band

I was expecting something raw and vicious, not a stones rip off bar band

I get that accountants liked them because, like them, they also did drugs (at weekends and festivals) but ...meh

Saw Primal Scream live a couple of years ago, they were pretty good, but I may well be biased after just watching the bass player

Primal Scream and Grateful Dead both run on "they mean it, man" energy but surely Grateful Dead are miles better.

I could imagine waking up after a three day drunk in my underwear and there was no duvet to begin with and dancing around to this in a room of heads, and imagining a worse existence out there... eh, as long as it's a 1968 cinema verite arthouse movie and I'm a young Harrison Ford.

what about this:

Grand, but totally unnecessary given the breadth of The Byrds' output.

'if they move, kill 'em (my bloody valentine arkestra)' is one of the greatest pieces of music from the 90s. Admittedly Kevin shields deserves the majority of credit for that.

That first one is more in line from what I expected from them, I’d listen to more of that. That second one is absolutely nightmarish.

Was awake at 5 am yesterday because of work. Actually finished work at 9 pm.

Dickhead neighbours were partying all night. Was awake at 2am, and at 5am when the guitar playing started. Hate those pricks so much.

Can't find a video of Atarahs band playing Nutrocker

I liked a good few primal scream tunes, but overall all, they're not great. They always talked a good game, but rarely delivered. Always felt a bit too self consciously curated. I'm sure they could do up a good compilation of cool, druggy bands that wear leather jackets & sunglasses.

Second minor complaint, OTT vinyl reissue over load.

Ground rent?

 

[magicbastarder]

yep. been here nine years, first time we've received a letter for ground rent. €76 so not exactly ball-busting. €1.1k to buy it out.

Buy it out.

 

[magicbastarder]

we're thinking along those lines. wonder what'd happen if i contacted them and offered €800.

 

[ann post]

300 eu either way isn't a lot.

I'm getting irrationally and pointlessly annoyed by Twitter's stupid and ridiculous topic suggestions. I deselected all of the twitter "interests" that they selected for me thinking it would put a stop to it but the fuckers added dozens more and selected them for me.
