Are you a Smiths fan?

i wouldn't go so far to say i was a fan, but i do appreciate their music, the lyrics of many of their songs apply to everyday situations, not a day goes by where a line from a smiths song doesn't come into my head, why do you ask?

"What Ubik said to me at the end of the day, Caligula would have blushed"


That's very close to a line from a Smiths song,

"What she said to me at the end of the day, Caligula would have blushed. Oh, you've been around too long, she said. And I happily fled."

From 'William, It Was Really Nothing'

Ubik is a member on this forum it was a joke, i did get the inspiration for that quote from that song.

Isn't it 'naturally fled' not 'happily fled'?

LMAO i know the feeling

We have a few other smiths appreciaters on this board, Yshania is one. I take it you are a fan then

Yes, I'm a big fan.

Odd, I normally listen to electronic like Frontline Assembly, Delerium, 242, etc...

And, of course, Pink Floyd


My favorite line is,

'Amid concrete and clay and general decay, nature must still find a way'

Morrissey is a great lyricist. If only he would team back up with Johnny Marr!

Not to bash your musical prefernce, but me i have only ever heard of pink floyd (out of your list) it is refreshing to talk to someon who doesn't listen to D12, Linkin Parj or Dr Dre Could you give me some specs on those bands you mentioned?

Johnny Marr did work with another band, can't remember who off hand though. I saw morrisey a few years back on Jools Holland, did a track called 'Boy Racer' still sticks with me even now after about 6 years

'Have you seen him go though, oh. Boy Racer, we're going to kill this pretty thing.'

Thats a pretty good song off of 'Southpaw Grammar'. Not a very good album overall, IMHO. Morrissey's best solo, again IMHO, is 'Viva Hate' or perhaps 'Bona Drag'

Frontline Assembly, Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Delerium, Orb, Orbital, you can find 30 sec clips @ [url="http://www.cdnow.com"]www.cdnow.com[/url]

I'm sure you've heard of Nine Inch Nails? This is the same genre, more or less.

I'll have a look (when i am busy not spamming up SYM ) Nine Inch Nails, (this is going to sound like a cliche) i kind of like their early work, some of those bass lines are excellent

Do you have any interest in any other genres, or are you a strictly one genre person?

Well, considering you now know that I like The Smiths, Morrissey, Pink Floyd, and NIN, you could safely assume I'm not stuck to one genre

As a matter of fact, I'm listening to Vivaldi as I tear this power supply apart

LMAO

So what other music (that i might have heard of ) do you listen to....

@tearing cables, and why would you be doing this?

Other music you've head of, let's see....

Well, that would be a long list.

I can say I generally DO NOT like country, rap, boy bands like Nsync and pretty much anything else played on the radio. I do like some hip hop like Beastie Boys, Tribe Called Quest, DJ Shadow, etc

What do YOU listen to, O great gamebanshee BBS Elder?

Oh, and I'm tearing this PS apart to put a new fan in it. I don't want to order more today

Heh, we got bumped

Buck??? Skinny Puppy??? I never would of thought. I took you for the Mozart Groupie type.
