What about Samson?

 

[STN]

What's your point?

Oh he's just one of those famous people who I feel a strange antipathy towards...

More like troo doom w/silly lyrics anyways

i saw the waterboys with my dad about this time last year, it probably was the shittest gig i've ever been to, the atmosphere was like a darkened assembly with everyone looking uncomfortable and depressed apart from 10 or so pissed up 50-somethings shouting requests - and their music is bullshit too. rant over

Vim: You just need a smiley T shirt, a noseful of vintage MDMA, a load of dry ice and a roomful of people telling you they love you, man.

Wait a sec, I know someone who can help with that...

No idea. Well into Twisted Tower Dire at the moment, though (modern, yank, very heavy, NWOBHM-style).

Sorry were you under the impression we were talking about Mike Scott's group? You've never heard of the other Waterboys? God, some people!

Dunno if you're kidding, but I'm sure I remember another, totally different act who made techno or house called something similar. Mid 90s? Googled but couldn't find anything. The Waterboy, Watermen, Water's Boy, something like that.

 

[STN]

I was kidding, can't help you there I'm afraid.

In other news, I have been listening to Planxty's Words and Music almost constantly for the last week.

On Irish fiddle-dee-dee nothing can beat Planxty, though I prefer the original line up stuff (Cold Blow and the Rainy Night & The Well Below the Valley) to Words and Music.

Compared with this I always found the Waterboys a bit portentous and over-stated, but I love 'Fisherman's Blues', and 'And a Bang on the Ear'. Whole of the Moon gets me going too, but its one of those tracks where I can't disentangle nostalgia from criticial appreciation (i.e. would I like it now if I didn't like it then?)

I reckon Iron Maiden probably sound quite good on MDMA.

I know/knew someone who took his first pill at a Napalm Death gig in the LA2.

The Well Below the Valley is ace, don't really know the others.

I also rather like the first Bothy Band LP for a really unpretentious take on that sort of material.

Harsh music can be really good for that thing sometimes, not that Maiden is harsh exactly.

"Run to the pills..."
