I've seen various bits of their output. I get a sinking feeling every time I see a standup comedian come on stage with a guitar in their hands.

No, the evidence speaks for itself. and please, do try and move on from "your opinion is invalid because i dont like your music" and "ohhh look at you being all tough behind a computer" every time your opinion is challenged. It's so childish.

Oh I see, we shouldn't discuss things or express an opinion because many other people have a differing opinion. Brilliant logic. Many people like smoking crack, but I don't see anyone suggesting there shouldn't be a debate about the problems it causes society simply because it's popular.

Agreed, before I started buying music I did listen to my parents tapes and lp's, but to be honest that's why I now can't stand pink floyd, donovan, the eagles etc. It would be great if the internet and music sharing over it managed to dismantle some of the wierd baseless reverence people have for these artists.

hahahahahaaaaaa ...

Do you not just get sick of watching crap like those guys on telly? I hate to break it to you, but you perceive me as being a constant critic of everything you like, because literally everything you like is utter shit and you are a mindless philistine.

I find it impossible to believe that anyone who isn't at least in their 50's can truly relate to any of that shit. These groups and artists are revered by younger people just because there is a history which is rammed down their throats constantly by the recording industry and the music media. I cannot take seriously anyone in their 20's who claims to be a huge bob dylan or johnny cash fan. Where are the dylans and lennons of this generation? If that is a hard concept to grasp maybe it's because the original dylan and lennon weren't the fucking second coming either and are infact the same kind of media creations that dominate the top of the music industry right now.

Of course it matters, that is the question I'm posting.

Well thanks for your input but try to stay on topic please.

oh, they are that pair of tedious unfunny guitar playing tossers that simpletons find amusing.

Are people like bob dylan, johny cash, the beatles, the rolling stones, etc etc so hugely rich and famous and widely revered because they have some kind of actual worth and value to humanity, or have they achieved this quasi-religious status through what amounts to a process of record-label and media driven cultural indoctrination? You always hear people talking about bob dylan as if he's some kind of revolutionary master poet, but he isn't by any stretch of the imagination. Why is this irritating harmonica playing simpleton a cultural icon? Has anyone listened to his radio show and not felt like smashing his face in? The same broadly applies to johnny cash and the beatles, why are these people seen as being important when they have no relevance whatsoever to this current generation?

don't take it so personally! anyway I found this video earlier, it's much more rewarding

No, I just think it's pointless, boring, insipid and dated cheese.

Thousands of neds storm pendulum "performance", how unsurprising.

this is the worst and most pointless thing I've heard in months.

From what I've read on the internet that "pound for pound" study seems to be widely regarded as flawed...presumably the efficiency will go up depending on how you drive aswell. Lots of people seem to be claiming more like 40-50mpg. I'm less concerned about co2 production footprint than I am about getting a car which isn't going to cost a fortune to run, but isn't a 3 door 1.0 rollerskate either.

Having just read about the Tesla 100% electric car going into production Tesla Motors - acceleration & torque (0-60 in 3.9 seconds) I've been looking into the availability of hybrid/electric cars in the uk. There are quite a few Toyota Prius on the second hand market at very affordable prices, an alternative seems to be the hybrid Honda Civic which is a bit more expensive. I was wondering if anyone here has driven or owned either of these and what they thought of it. I don't really like the idea of driving an automatic (which they all seem to be) but then again a 1.5l car that will do 50-60mpg and run off self-charged electricity when in the town sounds very appealing.

I thought it really was noel fielding for a moment. I would gladly punch those 2 and vic galloway in the cock for being utter twats.

nah it reminded me that I have a sense of humour.

this thread reminded me of the remix of ring of fire remix i made a couple of years ago as a tribute to johnny cash http://neuscan.com/johnny_cash--ring_of_fire--stripeys_pigfuckinghick_remix.mp3

everyone should own a feather duster

yeah those tunes are weak, it just sounds like straight overdubbed drums and bass

*ahem* thanks.

Relocating your life which has commitments and obligations and so on is not quite as trivial as that...

Hey it's a thread about thoughts on aberdeen, I'm posting my thoughts on the city just as everyone else is. There's no need to make it personal.
