late 60s to 70s was a good period. I still prefer nineties though. Better and more varied instruments, more powerful sounds and better progressive music.
Has anyone else noticed that Catempire has disapeared from these boards since the announcement?
been going through my old catempire albums again. Not a top 10 favourite but still a bloody good band. One of the best australia has ever produced.
the peak of rock/indie/alt/dance music was the late nineties. Everything before that was just building up to the nineties. Everything after has just deterorated.
peak of jazz was the fifties.
peak of classical/opera was the latter part of the 19th century.
all other music mostly sucks...
Tools new album is awful. Only the first 6 minutes of descending is worth repeat listens. Maynard barely sings on thisalbum. He is what makes tool awesome. Without him its just more progressive instrumental work. Decent but not spectacular.
My favourite band has finally produced a dud album.
The quality of the dialogue and twists does fall away I agree. But to partially counter this the story does move at a much better pace which means a lot more is happening making it more entralling. Its a pity the dialgoue and lack of twists isnt quite as good though.
Of the list ive only seen breaking bad and dexter. My wife loves six feet under though and keeps pushing me to watch it.
Breaking bad is excellent. The first season has a couple of dull episodes and due to the writers strike has no real season ending. The show gets better and funnier and from...
I never actually saw the Addams family show but both the movies. Actually the same thing with Beverly hillbillies as well originally but eventually saw some of the episodes while at home during uni years.
Don’t know half of these but the other half looks like the list of shows that was on tv during the middle of the day when I faked being sick to stay home from school. Astroboy, bewitched and Monty python and Benny hill are awesome. Mr squiggle scared the sh** out of me as a kid though.
I’m afraid Im from a different generation. Off the top of my head my fav shows were Seinfeld, Buffy, Angel, coupling, Breaking Bad, Macgyver, Saved by the Bell, newsroom, Harvey Birdman, A Country Practise and Rick and Morty.
Do you think there is any chance the Democrats may wake up and elect a Sanders type to become leader. Someone actually interested in fixing the system.
This goes beyond Nth Korea. Im far more concerned about China and Russia. Focus on the big picture as well. Not just the immediate one at hand. China is now moving away from the western ideals it was headed towards 5 years ago. Its also already started taking up the power vacuum created in Asia...
yeah lets take out the one media organisation in the country that isnt driven primarily by a corporate agenda and is actually willing to focus on global issues and ask anything close to a proper question to our politicians. Not saying the ABC suffers from flaws. It clearly does. But only fools...
The way media is done can be improved dramatically as it too is far too concerned by corporate interests and also suffers from poor regulation of media integrity standards. But the fact you only notice this problem in the media on one side of the political spectrum and dont mention the herald...
I agree that many people who are against Trump are focusing on the wrong issues. Womens rights, health care and immigrants are important but they are minor issues compared to what the focus should be on. Democrats have either not figured this out or do not care and run a real risk of losing 2020...
Yes and no. He is a symptom of a political system that has fallen prey to corporate lobbying and a democratic party that is focussing far too much on identity politics rather than economic fairness. Getting rid of Trump by no means will fix all of americas problems.
However he is also a disease...
you were the one who went off topic and if it wasnt the fact your comment is potentially very dangerous to my future offsprings well being I wouldnt of bothered. Go read some history on what happens when you dont have public confidence in the free media and when the lines between presidents and...
yeah cos dismantling the publics trust in the free media, rejecting expert advice, failing to understand why trade is mutually beneficial to both parties, questioning the seperation of state and walking away from global order in a world where tea pot dictatorships now have nuclear weopans is...
Can we please not normalise trump with silly jokes. Whats happening in the USA right now is horendous and should not be trivialized.
As for ablett, any news on how he is travelling? is he fit and injury free at the moment.
What about all the people who did vote for the democrats? More did actually vote for Clinton then Trump. And what about the 6 billion non Americans who will all be influenced by the new populist nationalist global world order whether they realise it or not. Did all those people deserve it to? Do...
For favourite singers I would go:
Jazz: Armstrong and Ella
Opera: Maria Callas and Emma Matthews
Folk: Joanna Newsome
Rock: James Maynard Keenen from Tool
death Metal: Mikhael Akerfeldt (best death growls in the business)
