WHO KNOWS..... I might have LIKED it and done another reverse.
How embarrassing I thought...as the first 30 seconds sounded pretty cool. But then it went down hill fast.
I could only get through the first 3 tracks until I really couldn't listen to it any more.
BUT... to balance out the negativity, here are some things I'm LIKING:
Music:
Yesterday I bought the new Raconteurs/Saboteurs album, Consolers of the Lonely and I'm liking it. On a couple of listen through I don't think I like as much as the first (i really enjoyed that), but it's still very good!I also bought "The Curse of Lightning" by Melbourne band Wagons, which I'm digging too! (There's a track on it that'll be making an appearance in my exhibition.
I've also been getting into The Lucksmiths a bit.
Comics:
Devoured Blankets by Craig Thompson. A great read that crawled into my head and stuck around for a few days. I haven't read his stuff before and I can't remember- is Goodbye, Chunky Rice meant to be better then Blankets? Is it similar stuff?Also read the first Sleeper by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips which was fun. Will go and get the other volumns.
Speaking of Ed Brubaker... I re-read a bunch of 100 Bullets and by being able to take a few steps back from the monthly read started to piece together what is going on in the over all story-arch. I feel like an obtuse dumb-arse.
Meow, Baby! by Jason was a fun romp. As was the re-read of pre-insanity Frank Miller's Batman: Year 1. Good to see that still holds up.
TV:
Bought season 3 part 2 of Entourage. Once you get into it this series is soooo easy to watch. I was only going to watch 1 ep today, but I think I ended up getting through 3. It's pacey, high energy format makes it addictive watching. Have to get tough and ration my viewing as I could easily get through it in another day or 2.Season 3 of Battlestar is starting to get interesting too. About 3 eps behind the current USA release. For a series that has many lame-arse and bumpy episodes, when it gets good... IT'S GREAT!

Raconteurs disc = excellent!
And extra points cos it was released this millennium!
There's life in Gran'Pa Frase's old bones YET, eh?
It is good, isn't it?!
I think my initial hesitation was there's a few face-melting metal guitar riffs in there as well as the ye olde rhythm rock.
And it's a NEW cd released for YOUNG PEOPLES consumption!!
(even though it harks to ye olde style music!)
I think I actually enjoy The Raconteurs OVER The White Stripes.
Sacrilege!
Especially enjoying the 'country' bits. Methinks my roots are starting to SHOW!
I'll hook you up with some REAL face melting METAL geetar, if'n you wants...
I'd agree. The Raconteurs have a fuller sound and more rounded a band. More interesting!
The more I listen to the new album, the more I'm loving it.
Very RICH! Face melting guitar and FIDDLES!
You're onto Old Crow Medicine Show?
Good rock/bluegrass action.
And local band Wagons are up that alley too. Dark country rock, ala Nick Cave/Johny Cash.
By Season 3, do you mean Season 4?? I presume so! Season 3 got bumpy, but Season 4 gets steadily more and more engaging. The climax at the break (Ep 10) is worth the wait...
I'm not sure. I think there was some confussion between when Season 3 ended.
We haven't watched anymore BSG since the episode where the fleet leave Adama by himself at the end.
That's definitely Season 4 then. You're almost up to date.
