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.

  1. ontovzik @ ontovzik: When I had long term shingles, lasting two months. All he could give me was a 10 day supply of dilaudid. He looked at the ground while we were talking about it. I could tell he was ashamed but it was the legislature and the governor that tied his hands. He was very upset that non-medical political people, the media, and the scared public were controlling how he treated his patients. Someday those people will need meds and a hospital bed and they will be gone.
  2. ontovzik @ ontovzik: I had a great doctor, he had the true gift of a healer and he stayed on top of all the science. He straight up told me that for many people opiods work for managing short and long term pain.
  3. ontovzik @ ontovzik: He peed it in the snow in my backyard.
  4. WTF7218 @ WTF7218: @xenxra 😆😂. Yes, but only a few brave souls will ever find the number. You must first order a Dirty Shirley from the bartender. Then you must discreetly take the cocktail napkin from under your drink and unfold it. There you will find the map to the location of the phone number, and clues to decipher the code that it is written in.
  5. xenxra @ xenxra: he left his phone number scribbled in a stall at the pub three blocks down
  6. aBBazaBBa123 @ aBBazaBBa123: @rockychoc How do I contact you?
  7. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar I would try one of those easy online ones .. reddit gives useful info about that
  8. Alkazar @ Alkazar: @NYStateofMind I dont really have a history of abusing things, my docotr is just really stingy. I am thinking of switching.
  9. C @ Cheesus: Thanks xenxra
  10. xenxra @ xenxra: @Cheesus yeah, use snote
  11. P @ psychedpsych: Trump is cracking down….
  12. P @ psychedpsych: Hackers are the scum of the earth
  13. N @ NYStateofMind: so it was easy bc of my history
  14. N @ NYStateofMind: I didnt really tell him but he knew I needed a new script since my dr went to jail
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @xenxra I was on Adderall since 15 years ago so my dr prescribed that w no problems and then when I lost my best friend my doctor rxed the valiums but
  16. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  17. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  18. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  19. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  20. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
