Some Raw Vision types would wanna see these, they are genuine outsider/naive/folk art pieces.

LaserWolf said:And Nirvana was doing the same kind of long complex songs with lots of parts? Uh, no, their songwriting was quite conventional.

Magma, Genesis, and Soft Machine, all progressive and nothing much like each other.

batmon said:Isnt that what most Rock bands were doing in the early 70's? Some of them, yeah. Sabbath was definitely proggy, especially in the mid-'70s.

Yeah, grunge bands seemed more into mining a sound than songcraft. Slint [post-rock, maybe the first] Laughing Hyenas, Steelpole Bathtub, Unsane, Six Finger Satellite [post-punk, a generic term that encompasses a lot of disparate sounds] …

With today's ears, the biggest problem with that scene was a lack of good songs. Same thing with stoner rock; that genre had such great potential (combining zoned-out psych with tough hard rock) but most of the bands had awful singers and couldn't w…

Man, you have some thin skin, bud. :-) I bought 90% of the first 200 or so Sub Pop records new (almost all are long gone). I voraciously read all the fanzines and magazines, saw all the bands who stopped in Albany. I know the context and cont…

At first Nirvana weren't much more popular than label mates Mudhoney or even The Fluid (!) in real terms. They had an LP and a couple of singles that got press, but so did Tad. It wasn't until they were on Geffen that they hit it big. Thus, not unde…

Hmmm. In the context of their times, I think Ramones would get the edge. Coming from Captain and Tenille and ELP it was a jolt to the system. Nirvana had many musical precedents. But they were both rock bands who wrote mostly traditional pop songs w…

A band for those who felt Nirvana were too "edgy." Room temperature rock with a uniquely painful goo-goo ga-ga vocal style.

I still think a record store/bakery might work, demographically. Tough hours, though.

Go to the market anyway, you could spend all day there, at least in the harvest season.

Since you're near there, at the Jean Talon market, chow down at El Del Ray Taco. They make a sort of Cuban sandwich that's so good I have to grab an extra for home as we leave: pork, beef, chorizo, eggs, cheese, avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, and jalap…

Co-sign on Jardin Nelson, beautiful spot. While you're there stroll Place Jacques-Cartier and the adjoining streets.

MARCO, it's my favorite city, been many times. Hit me up! I will say, if you're traveling alone or with non-fran├ºais then bring along a simple French cheat sheet, with shit like directions, days of the week, etc. Civic stuff. Most people in …

As someone from an area where water is cheap and plentiful (Upstate NY, with our thousands of lakes and waterways), I'm shocked at how flippant southern California is with water use, especially the desert areas. It's actually more stringent up here,…

Hmm, good question. I'll go with living people. If I had a bunch of songs and needed a backing back to do some gigs and record an album, money's no object, I'd go with with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. Fuck it, go all the way!

Bastards! I also like the later Casus Belli.

I will add, DJs, if you're considering traveling, that there is good digging in central and western NY. Lots of rust belt towns.

As someone who earns a living as a graphic designer, bad on this guy for working without a contract. Swim with the sharks...

Frank, I'm with you except for blocking intersections. When bikes are on an organized run, or "procession," it's a tactic that needs to be employed to keep the group together. That said, it should be done in an organized manner, not flippantly, and …

Firstly, no video, no story. Secondly, there's a reason most MCs and RCs have very strict, military-style riding rules, to avoid this exact situation. If you've ever ridden in a large group of bikes you know what I'm saying. These guys on the…
