Songs that hit you straight between the eyes...

[Abitrary]

Doubt many people will have heard of her but Rie Fu - a very talented Japanese singer/songwriter. The lyrics for this song really reach out to me:

that is particulary awful, having listened to it

 

[Dave5N]

No, Here's the thread closer. Gets really good around 1.50.
Beat that!

Mate, I don't wish to be rude,but that's embarassing. You wanna compare 'Little Wing' with 'I wanna talk about the blues, Yeah'?

'I don' wanna play the blues I play rock and roll.' The Manics were more convincing with 'we destroy Rock 'n' Roll'
try this again and turn the volume up.

 

[Abitrary]

Dave, nobody is going to listen to that link just because you repeat it

 

[Abitrary]

try this!

Hmmm. Never really was a Hendrix fan I'm afraid. I suppose he could play a bit, but his sound never did it for me and he always sounds as if he's out of tune and has taken too much acid. I appreciate that this is a bit rich coming from someone who posted this earlier in the thread.

Speaking as a fellow guitarist, i know what you mean, he's too overwhelming. And the non-guitarists only like him because they don't know what they're on about.

No I'm not a big Hendrix fan, but 'Little Wing' is sublime, and I'm afraid Graham Parker knocks your white blues boy into a cocked hat.

"White boy blues"?? But Jon Spencer himself devoted a large part of the song elucidating in great detail and at some length as to how he "don't play no blues" (hmmm, I suppose if you're being picky that could be construed as a double negative), but instead chooses to regale his audience with "rock and roll". Repeat to fade ...

This

Never fell in love with the Pixies -wrong time or they tried too hard. some of Frank's own stuff was interesting.

#That clip of yours is far too shrill and trying too hard.

does it for me and bears repetition!!!!

 

[Rhythm Thief]

Graham Parker? I managed to get through 23 seconds of this. More than enough for me.

I agree with you (at last!). I like a lot of Frank Black's solo stuff. But I also love the Pixies.

Actually, on second listening it's not a bad song.

 

[Dave5N]

Graham couldn't help it he wasn't Elvis - or even Joe.

1 or 2.

So you gonna summon up the courage?

You know you want to?
