On this note, it only takes one occurrence to screw everything up.

I will preach to you about preaching to others.

I've handed out my fair share of rec's to you, so I'll say you're welcome. (and if you need future recommendations, I'm always willing to help)

Indeed, you in particular have been a great help this past week (especially when I came asking for jazz/blues/funk).

Some people don't find it fun when they're so drunk they're acting like complete morons.

Heh, no problem. You'd better listen to those albums or else.

I've yet to dig into them (I've been really turned onto metalcore lately), but I expect that the jazz stuff will be hardest for me to really "get".

Lucky indeed.

count me in too...
i have a terrible memory in the first place, but alcohol doesn't seem to noticeably affect it the majority of the time.

now that i think about it it seems like all of my friends have this crazy "luck" thing going for them, too... strange.

I've drank maybe three times in my life... I'm not really sure. However many times it is, I blacked out each and every time.

The jazz stuff is pretty accessible, in my opinion as a seasoned jazz listener of course. :P They're pretty much standard fare as far as jazz goes. As long as you have an appreciation for the music, it shouldn't be too hard. (but I guess that goes for everything, right?)

RF: Never fully trust Wikipedia 100% (Common Sense). I read that Tantric's new album will be sold exclusively through Arby's Stores (The Fast-Food Restaurant) Yet I seen a few copies at Best-Buy today. The stupid part, is where that Said that at on Wikipedia, it came from another source. That source came said the same thing pretty much. Ugh!

Why would people say that if it's not even true. WHY?

I can definitely appreciate the music technically, I'm just worried about how long it'll take before I get the emotional side of it (which is where just about all of my enjoyment of music comes into play). It's just very different from what I usually listen to by myself.

that's rough... i still remember my first three nights getting drunk, and they were about ten years ago.

the only time i've ever had any real trouble is when i was drinking everclear and gin mixed with the flavoring syrup they use in slushies...
i had alcohol poisoning and barfed all day... it sucked bad, but it led me to trying pot for the first time, so all that hurling wasn't for nothing.

Sorry... I couldn't resist. I just saw that movie for the first time and I've got it stuck in my head. :o

That's true, I suppose, but the majority of the stuff I recommended is pretty catchy and easy to get into even for the jazz newbie, especially Kind of Blue by Miles Davis. It's not like I recommended you some super avant-garde free jazz or something. :p

though perhaps it would be wise for him to check some out soon...
i honestly feel more of an emotional connection to stuff like "machine gun" or "universal consciousness" than any other jazz.

(I hope no one cares about my random opinion here, but that's the name of the thread)

I really like heavy metal (I'm in a thrash metal phase at the moment, actually) but I can't stand Death Metal. Worst of all, CHRISTIAN Death Metal. It's too contradictory, to be honest. And I enjoy the occasional screaming, but I just don't get the "belching" sound some bands acheive. It all sounds the same to me: like crap. I respect the muscians because they are muscians, but I still don't like it.

I love free jazz, but I can't see it being too appealing to the average first time listener. Hell, it took me at least ten listens each to fully appreciate each of the albums you listed. Even still, I prefer more "traditional" jazz to free jazz by a large margin.

Oh, and to the above post, I hope you've braced yourself for a ****storm.

Ignorant People FTW....

I mean, FTL!

Ugh!

Rec. me some free jazz and we'll see if anything magical happens.

RO: This thread is starting to lose it's "Coolness."

I seriously regret not giving Dark Quarterer a chance earlier, they're completely awesome. Definitely picking up their stuff as soon as I get my hard drive reformated. Gama Bomb is pretty cool too.

It did when a certain person showed up. :rolleyes:
On the alcohol topic, I was scared off one night when my drunk dad gave me some pretty bad emotional scarring.

Peter Brotzmann - Machine Gun
Alice Coltrane - Universal Consciousness
Sun Ra - Space Is the Place
John Coltrane - Meditations
Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come

I doubt any of this will be up your alley (even less so than traditional jazz, most likely), but it's worth a shot. For me, personally, free jazz is some of the most inaccessible music I've ever listened to.

Really? That's funny. Try it now, I think I had it set to "away".

I think I have every one of those albums on my computer except for the Brotzmann one, for the record.

Huh, that's funny. I only have one guy downloading from me, so it should be fine. I just rebooted Soulseek now, see you can try it again. If not, I guess you'll just have to get them elsewhere.
