Badger is back


One of the first weblogs which ever linked to me is in full blossom again after a couple of weeks of rather sparse posting. Badgerminor has been posting lots of stuff on music in the morning and in the afternoon during the last two days.

I have always been perplexed how similar our musical tastes were. It might not be as surprising that we both love Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot but we also share dislikes. He writes that he lost interest in the Smashing Pumpkins after Gish which still is my favourite of theirs. Hypnotic and psychedelic at the same time (in 1991/92 My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and Gish were the sonic spaceships for my mind odysseys). The tracks I downloaded from the new Zwan album didn't do anything for me as well: ok tunes but nothing remarkable. He doesn't like Sigur Ros, I hate their pretentious sounding overproduced ambientish artificiality (German Amazon review). Last but not least Radiohead's most critically acclaimed album OK Computer left me totally cold, Badger says "it sails right over his head".

I'd really like to know what he thinks of the new Massive Attack. There is something profound about it in the sense that it perfectly captures the current tense and sinister atmosphere though the vocal deliveries of O'Connor and Horace Andy are not really my cup of tea.

P.S. I am just listening to 100th Window again and realizing that I don't like 3D's voice neither (at least in the 1st song Future Proof). Maybe the only voice I ever liked in Massive Attack was Liz Fraser's. Though Daddy G was a nice change to the others. Bizarre that I like Massive Attack's music a lot but I don't like their singers. Did Tricky ever sing for them? I don't like his voice neither...


 
 

Re: Badger is back

yep, tricky lent his voice on the first two albums, i think. then they broke, probably because he was not mentioned as a full member in the album notes, which means that he couldn't say "thank you" to his family. anyway he had to go his wary, which the others maybe wouldn't have been able to walk. i like trickys and 3ds voice, but horace andys voice bores me after a few minutes. strange.
