Re: Which Absolute Beginners?
Anyway.....I love Absolute Beginners sweeping romanticism. I think it really captures that initial rush of love and adoration you experience with a new partner beautifully. The vulnerability, the nervousness, the conviction, all that jazz. Great record.

I didn't understand the chords thing but I took it more to mean that histrionic Bowie thing where he goes a bit over the top. See also: Wild is the Wind, which Coan hates.

I know you really like John, G, and he can't do much wrong with lots of members here, but he posted in this discussion (and that's what people are having) about overreaching chord changes. DAD asked him about this and he replied by posting some possible chords. I mentioned that the chords weren't particular special. In fact his chords were probably wrong.
Instead of engaging with the discussion he acted like a twat, calls in his buddy Gash, and was insulting.
And still, rather than engage in discussion, he won't. I have mentioned that had he explained himself it could have led to an interesting discussion, but John doesn't like that. He'd rather deflect.
Why we hide from the fact that he's the ultimate BCB troll, I don't know.
You must know pedantically trying to interrogate him is not going to yield any great insight, so why bother?
I knew what meant. He finds the record too over the top. It's a side of Bowie not everyone likes.

Re: Which Absolute Beginners?
How civil should someone be to a poster who says he could batter the fuck out of them?

So it's the bombast and over-powering theatrics of the music?
See, wasn't so difficult was it?
Absolutely no idea what that has to do with 'over reaching chord changes' but, well, each their own.
Shall we move on now?

Aren't you ashamed that everyone else on the board apart from you and Hodgson understood it the first time around?

I think you've already made it abundantly clear that you're a bit dense - why make people dwell on your confusion?

This is making the threadcrapping thread seem less embarrassing.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.
