strange, or surprising?


Er, both... Surprising because it's very famous and all that. Strange because you should like it.

In terms of speed of response, it was astonishing. I can't recall so many posts in such a short space of time. Tremendous effort by all.

It was great fun. I think everyone needed cheering up after posting on Peel all day. Kind of like The Beatles becoming massive in The States after the Kennedy assasination!

I understand that some people were upset with my comments back on page 10 of this thread. Well, it seems that my secretary (who types all of my tedious rantings) was "hitting the bottle" a bit and thus made a few typographical errors.

The offending quote:

king feeb wrote: Just about the only ones I don't like are TheFuckingDoors, Jeff FuckingBuckley's Grafuckingce and Jacko's Thrillfuckinger, which I would slag as highly overrated garbage. Anyone who likes these should slide down an incline of razor blades into a bath of salt! They should be forced to eat their own eyeballs, but only after devoring a bowl of Simon Cowell's feces! That'll teach them a lesson! HRRRUMPH! How dare people have different taste than I!


This quote should actually read:

king feeb wrote: Really I truly love TheFuckingDoors, Jeff FuckingBuckley's Grafuckingce and Jacko's Thrillfuckinger, which I would guess I've listened to maybe 500 times each. Anyone who likes these should be presented with a large sum of money, a full-body massage by the sexy Hollywood star or starlet of their choice and 79 cents off their next purchase of any flavor of Pringles Potato Crisps (while supplies last).

I apologize for any confusion or upset this unfortunate mistake may have caused.

Yeah. 'For Sale' is so next year.

i know i'm probably bandwagon jumping here:
but i really like beatles for sale! its the first complete beatles album i heard and the only one i have on vinyl, its my mums(i've stolen it) and looking back its quite strange that it's the only proper beatles album she owned! i love the way it says,

'The kids of AD 2000 wil draw from the music much the same sense of well being and warmth as we do today'
i was always fscinated by this, and it also talks about picnicking on saturn!
plus babys in black and i don't want to spoil the party are ace!

probably stil not my fave though! so you should probably ignore what i just said!

Why not, Ced? This thread should end with another Teenage Fanclub debate. It would make the thread structurally perfect- it would form a coda like the cannons being fired off at the end of the "1812 Overature".

Oops make that- "1812 Fucking Overature".

Beatles For Sale is the bomb. I'd LOVE it to be next year's must-have accessory for sad Beatles fanatics who actually care about which of their albums it's cool to like at a given point in time.

I think Goldie's and Leg of Lamb's posts about Beatles For Sale are interesting in light of the original liner notes by Derek Taylor which state:

"There's priceless history between these covers. None of us is getting any younger. When, in a generation or so, a radio-active, cigar-smoking child, picnicking on Saturn, asks you what the Beatle affair was all about---'did you actually know them?'---don't try to explain all about the long hair and the screams! Just play the child a few tracks from this album and he'll probably understand what it was all about. The kids of ad 2000 will draw from the music much the same sense of well being and warmth as we do today."

I'm not either. Unfortunately, this ended up on the crazy slagging thread somehow.

Maybe they did, but it still sounds like someone wanking into a bucket.


One of the very posts that gets me laughing out loud with every re-read. Just shows how inept some music writers are. Only thing: I agree on the bucket, but to me it sounds like someone vomiting in one.
