Best Ever Album?

We are getting old and the "art" of the album is lost literally and metaphorically . Well that's according to my cherubs, but even look at the beauty forgetting the songs for a moment

I'm sticking to my guns best Album and its transatlantic any is OK Computer followed by Kid A. I'm that douche that has 'how to disappear completely and never be found' lyrics tattoo'd on my forearm. Just one sentence one beautiful sentence I know carry with my permanently as a reminded of the darker times

'How to Disappear Completely!' My god, I'm glad I know that someone else adores it as much as me. One of those songs that is very difficult to describe, but the strings, synths and Thom Yorke's sublime vocals send shivers down my spine.

I first heard that song maybe...11 years ago, and it's still so fresh. Was listening to Kid A again for the first time in a while the other day.

Sadly I don't have it with me here to take a picture, but I have the vinyl edition of the Pyramid Song single from Amnesiac. I've got it in a plastic protective cover and barely touch it, haha. 'tis my precious!

It's a very special song so beautiful and, well everything you just said. I'm not one for piercings, body art etc. But I do have this.

Wow, now that's dedication - I like it! =D

I remember reading in an interview about the lyrics, and I think Thom Yorke said that Michael Stipe had said to him, when feeling depressed, to close the curtains and tell yourself 'I'm not here, this isn't happening'. I think Thom Yorke went through the depression hell in the writing and recording of Kid A. That'll be why it's such an incredible album, to be frank. It's the case with so much music.

Thank you  :P  It goes beyond fan boy/man status. I had to go through a serious of unfortunate events in my early teens when Kid A came out. And I would use the sentence/sentiment  but adapted slightly as I was in hospital not on stage. Yeah Thom Yorke has bi-polar. He couldn't cope with the massive flux in fame after ok -computer, so he asked Stipe how he could do it night after night giving so much artistically. And that was his reply, to find the ability to emotionally detach yourself. If you haven't seen it you should watch the the documentary 'Meeting people is easy" it's an all access pass to their Ok Computer tour  filmed by Grant Gee. Very interesting and difficult watch as you can literally see Thom Yorke move closer and closer to an emotional breakdown and all the intertwined band politics that went with it.

I bloody love this for more than the 1981 edition DSOTM! That is a very beautiful vinyl player! Gorgeous.

 
OMG 

Music / lit / fashion = my gig :)

Everyone needs a "bloody Valentine" record

The 1st IAMX record (huge fan - fuck him each time he's here - glorious)  *<--not bragging rights but this is man is Bowie/ Nomi and Him (G-d like)

Pulp " this is hardcore"

Read: Patti Smith "just kids" 

I grew up in the Chelsea Hotel from late 70's till 2011 (at that point I was where I am now and sub-letted) till they gutted us!

This is by far my favorite thread *<3  ahhh the memories

 
^^^ Cool. I didn't realise many Americans had heard of Pulp - no offence intended. 

Different Class is a great album, and His and Hers isn't bad either.

Jarvis Cocker is a very clever lyricist.

Patti Smith is cool too, very ballsy.

His n hers is the only pulp album I had, I went off them after that!  It's taking me back though, loved Suedes first 2 albums, 3rd was a little off kilter, but far more upbeat than dog man star, though I still love it.

That's one I haven't seen, I'll have to look into it, although I did buy the DVD 'The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time' when it came out in 2004 I think, a collection of short clips set to (mostly) music from Hail to the Thief. Dear God, I've never seen such bizzare clips..!

I couldn't get into either pulp or suede. I loved Placebo though, not an all time great band/album but Black Market Music is one hell of a comedown album. And Brain Mal all eyeliner and asexuality was rebellious to a younger moi. Also if you get the japanese version you get a David Bowie cover of 'without you I'm nothing' 

Tom waits - Rainy dogs. Sumptuous 

My Bloody Valantine - Loveless. There best by far (country mile) 

Primal Scream - Screamadelica 

The Magnetic Fields - 69 love songs. 

Thats this weeks shuffle and some more favs.

@runnerlk I went more retro (bulky!) but you have wireless speakers you can dot around the house so I can listen anywhere. Also you can burn your old CD to vynl which means they can be put to better use, like in the bin.

Hey @Hammerblowvery nice indeed. I should get one and rip my vinyl to digital, I could make one kick ass playlist for the gym ;).

But for now I must steal away to my man cave and listen to some Floyd.

came in when I saw the photos on the homepage (incredible listening set-up runnerlk, I would love to have a geeked out discussion over your amps anytime)...

Massive Radiohead fan here and one who is very pumped about the new album.

going to catch them at Madison Square Garden this July and I am stoked beyond words about it.

Very glad to learn others around here have great taste.

Edit: Totally thought this just was a thread about A Moon Shaped Pool. Oops.

  11. xenxra @ xenxra: pretty sure black also went rogue sometime late last year
  12. Strawhat7 @ Strawhat7: Yo, whatever happened to Mr. Black? Just got a rando email from him after ghosting me like a year and a half ago
  13. LW815 @ LW815: Know what’s really going on in somebody else’s head or how much they’re really dealing with and feel like they’re left with no other options. Been a very sad few days but 2 complete (irl anyway) strangers cared enough about what I was going through to talk to me about it, though they owe me nothing and have no reason to help my personal pain other than the kindness in their own hearts. Just shows that this place is a real community, not just a forum of people who only care about themselves.
  14. LW815 @ LW815: Was nodding in/out the entire time writing those shouts and spparently was fully out sending the last one lol. But II find it ‘uplifting’ as two people I’ve never actually met and only know the others online presence through subscriptions, who I have a better chance of getting a handy J from Jesus Christ himself, both were so quick to share their own experience and wise words and assurances that things will look up and not to feel guilty or be mad at somebody for going that route - as you never
  15. xenxra @ xenxra: @hotdog45 meh, same difference. they both got blacklisted on here. wouldn't be the first time a rogue shop sent out unsolicited comms after the fact.
  16. MOD @ MOD: Hello @everyone
  17. LW815 @ LW815: Own personal experience with this kind of this type kind of situation and sympathized with my pain when I really just needed somebody to talk to. Both went out of their way to help a stranger in a time of need when I really needed somebody, and body to talk to. MM
  18. LW815 @ LW815: Sent a simple conf email and I just dropped a ball on them. I really just needed to let it out, didn’t expect them to reply in such a thoughtful way that it drastically changed the rest of my day and mindset for the bette . Above and beyond - and the last night while chatting with another that I knew had at least once one child,, so i wished them a belated happy Father’s Day, which again caused me to spill it all to them and again received the most thoughtful and kind response, as well as their-
  19. LW815 @ LW815: They didn’t need to. They could have just continued on with the nature or the main purpose of what the relationship between us is, I didn’t really have anybody else to let it out to at the time and they both went far beyond what I’d expect. Not that I’d assumed they’re cold/A-holes - it was just a lot from somebody who’s technically a competent stranger. A very close friend of mine committed suicide on Father’s Day and iwas emotionally wrecked witih nobody to talk to, and the first author just
  20. LW815 @ LW815: @Mokachin0 not really uplifting in the normal sense, but two popular authors on here took the time out of their likely very busy days to not only read my massive walls of text, but both also replied with the most kind, thoughtful and positive responses when I randomly dumped my personal problems into their laps
