I appreciate the cross-post here, as I'm not on facebook. Thanks, Ian!

I have not yet figured out how to paste in a youtube link but dammit I'm going to keep trying.

I give up, man. I am defeated

aadamm

I'm in the middle of the documentary now (watching it during cardio in the gym), it's quite good.

aadamm

aww hell yeah

aadamm

I know how these kinds of projects can be and don't mean to provoke any negative feelings, but I'd be delighted if you guys came back and did any more episodes. Gentle encouragement, no guilt.

I regularly forget the name of this song & band but it rips. I love it.

aadamm

I think The Return's key scene (if it has one? whatever) is the arm wrestling scene. "It feels good when we're back how where started, doesn't it?" feels like direct commentary on audience desires and that Dougie Jones can be understood as response to that.

aadamm

Went to Modest Mouse's Lonesome Crowded West tour last night in Vancouver. It was wonderful, despite Isaac's voice being a bit shot from a cold. Their rhythm section was tight as hell and brought out aspects of the songs to which I hadn't really paid too much conscious attention, previously. Then th...

That's from the boxed set, I had that: https://www.discogs.com/release/57000-M ... ngles-9098

I'm just waking up to what a talent Mac Miller was. I never paid any attention to him when he was alive, but started to slowly become aware that he seemed to be kind of an interesting guy - changing from a kind of annoying sort of bland frat rap youth into a dedicated artist constantly striving to i...

aadamm

Hmm. Angel Sigh, Shine A Light, Medication, Good Dope Good Fun, Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space, Cop Shoot Cop, Won't Get to Heaven, Hey Jane, I'm Coming Home Again, On the Sunshine, something like that? It hurts me to disrespect the songs that were a hair's breadth from the cut, so ma...

aadamm

they added another one:

aadamm

Ah, finally got around to watching the NYC show last night, that was fantastic. Absolutely wonderful. I'll watch yours next, plan.

aadamm

Spz added "Let It Bleed" to the youtube channel, looks in the vein of "I'm Coming Home Again"; I haven't watched it yet because my roommate is KO'ed and I'm considerate like that:

https://youtu.be/1ywy95_iTsc

aadamm

For some reason I'm especially fond of the Ladies And Gentlemen (Original Oratone Ideas).

aadamm

My favourite Spiritualized moment right now Right now I'm walking around thinking "Angel Sigh is the best song ever written and the live versions of it with the first band lineup are unmatched" which I don't quite mean literally, but I don't not mean it either. Best Thing is fantastic - I...

aadamm

PERFECT, thank you both. That's really wonderful.

aadamm

In the episode I was listening to last night, you all were talking about being floored by New Order live. Are there any classic New Order shows on youtube that anyone is aware of? I love New Order, but never even really thought about them as a live act.

aadamm

I find the line "you can always shoot the messenger the moment they arrive" genuinely funny. That song is the highlight of that album, but I do like "The Morning After" more after the show I saw in April.

aadamm

There's a fantastic quality to this kind of archival effort, in that we're in the internet era (he said on a bulletin board), but this stuff isn't _of_ the internet era, and the participants are mostly still around. This effort of remembrance, when we have things like dodgy recordings and low res vi...

aadamm · Re: Spacemen 3 - 13.4.1989 - Willem I Netherlands - DVD This is wonderful.

This is wonderful.

aadamm

2/3 of the way through the conversation with Mark. I love that he remembers his contributions to songs as snatches of melody, still - I'm not sure I would remember what I played 30 years ago.

aadamm

I'm sapped! The ole' toss n' turn for hours, noticing the sky lightening before real sleep is achieved, etc. I've got that drained battery feel today. But I've taken this week off from work, so I have nothing I need to do today. But! I was really glad I made time for both EWB and Perfect Prescriptio...

aadamm

well

i took LSD today, and listened to Fucked Up Inside, The Perfect Prescription, Dreamweapon, Everything Was Beautiful

and a smattering of others

and it's all really good. thank you

aadamm

One interesting point in the landscape of my feelings towards Spiritualized is LICD. I probably hadn't listened to it since the 2018 Mexico trip until recently. I always liked it - when I first heard it I probably loved it for a while. But in recent years as my feelings towards Spiritualized kind of...

aadamm

Just discovered this last night, listened to the first episode. Great work, loved it.

aadamm

I seem to have missed it, if someone doesn't mind popping it back.

aadamm

Amazing, bless your heart. Thanks so much!

aadamm

I went for a long walk with it the other day, and I do think it's as impressive as you say. I'm not sure I'm going to give it the listens it deserves, as it just isn't what I'm reaching for most of the time when I'm deciding what to listen to these days, but I'm sure it will reward deep engagement.

aadamm

The almighty algorithm fed me this video and I had to come here and search for it. Really remarkable. I watched this last night on some edibles and a few drinks and the inebriation and camera work married in a way to really make me feel like I was there. Truly precious.

aadamm

I just can't get over how much I like this album. Really wonderful.

aadamm

okay but the way the host says "spiRITualized"

ah, this version of Let It Bleed is nice

aadamm

Thanks!

and that somewhere is deeply important.

Yes, yes. Pure Phase into Spread Your Wings does that for me, as does the horn towards the end of the noisy bit of Cop Shoot Cop that signals the transition into the final section.

aadamm

(This is going to be self-indulgent) We had a scheduled power outage in my apartment building the day after EWB came out, and so I had planned to sit and give it a full-focus listen in the dark. And it reminded me of a couple of trips to Mexico, about a decade apart. The further-back one was I-don't...

aadamm

the clap and the piano at 5:50 in "take your time"!!! I had a bit of an Avalanches recording as my outgoing message for a bit, and then my grandfather made a comment and I realized it was alienating and bewildering for them, and I've had boring normal messages since, even though my days of...

aadamm

Hey folks. The new album has me re-energized for Spiritualized in a way that had waned over the years, and I've been going for walks and listening to albums I haven't listened to in a bit, and thinking about the band, and I wanted someplace to dump some random Spiritualized thoughts as they came to ...

aadamm

ahhh this is wonderful

aadamm

That was a really good version of The Morning After.

aadamm

Yeah, I enjoyed it also, although I took edibles for the first time in 5 years or so, and I think that helped considerably. I also missed those two songs, but oh well. I definitely would have preferred more older material, but thought they did a fairly excellent job with what they did choose. The ba...

aadamm

So, to be honest, I didn’t realize this forum had survived, and started investigating when looking for a show time prediction for Vancouver tonight. i primarily associate this board with these shows (as that was what my own activity here), and it’s weird to reach back through time like this. i remem...

aadamm

Yeah, me too. I *think* this is my first post-covid show? I feel like i should definitively know that but i guess i’m too old to remember things now.

aadamm

Sorry to do this again, but can someone make them available for me? Cheers.

aadamm

That's all I've heard. LP comes out next month on Warp. I like this song enough that I'm preparing myself to be disappointed already.

aadamm

Reminds me of classic Spiritualized. Love it.

aadamm

Their album dropped today. Still lovin' it.

aadamm

ugh no way I can afford it this year. Heartbreaking. Have fun for me, please.

aadamm

Over-analyzing takes the fun out. Don't worry about it. Back in the day, I'm sure I would have said Faith No More's Angel Dust. Doesn't matter. You can argue that the thread shouldn't exist because the concept of perfection is nebulous. What does that gain us? Are we better off without the thread? I...

aadamm

Not bothering listing Spiritualized: Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep Modest Mouse - The Moon and Antarctica Aesop Rock - Labor Days The Antlers - Hospice The Knife - Silent Shout Oh, and I know it's not supposed to be their best because they felt it was too polished and pop, but Nirvana's Nevermind is o...

aadamm

Okay, so SMLTS didn't get first, but it got, "More than any single song, "Smells Like Teen Spirit" altered the face of the 90s." That's pretty much what I wanted. Happy to see high scores for Pulp, Wu-Tang, Pavement and Aphex. I never got what the fuss was about with "Parano...

aadamm

#1 should be Smells Like Teen Spirit, IMO. Not because I think it was "best", but it is the song I most associate with the decade.

aadamm

I love Rated X. That's crazy talk.

aadamm

So these guys are rocking my world right now.

So, anyway, I checked with Sonic and he thinks that's the whole show, as does the friend of the person who recorded it.

aadamm

I read the posts here and elsewhere. i bought the cd yesterday. Have listened to it twice. There is nothing on this cd that is going to make want to put it on a third time. For me, personally, and I realize this may not apply to you at all , three listens is not enough time to form a good opinion o...

aadamm

I think Embryonic is the best thing they've ever done. It's like they finally made the album I always wanted them to, or something.

aadamm

It's quite unambiguous in its wording ("Sonic Boom checked his watch 90 minutes in (longer than they ever play with breaks between songs!) and began to wind things down." - that's from memory, mind you). I mean, it could be flat-out wrong, but it's clear that the author is saying, "I ...

aadamm

The sleeve in the copy I have says they played for ninety minutes.

aadamm

Is there an unedited recording of this show floating about anywhere?

aadamm

mn_spi, that was me and my friend Troy that you helped out with tickets for the second night. Thank you so much for that, and please say hello to your wife.

I thought it was pretty amazing to be at a show where so many people were crying.

aadamm

Back home in Vancouver now. What a trip. I cried the first night several times, which I don't believe I've ever done at a gig before. Was sitting next to Modlab and his wife, very glad to have met you two (and for the arrangements for the second night). Sound-wise, my only complaint was that I found...

aadamm

My excitement just increased exponentially. In 23 hours, I'm on a flight to London from Vancouver. My first trip outside of Canada/US/Mexico. And to see Spiritualized play this show. Oh my god, I am so glad I did this. I hope to god they play more than just the album.
