True story, I have witnesses to back it up - last time I listened to Pyramid Song whilst watching an ace YouTube vid someone had made for it, I cried tears of wonder at its beauty and it's close association with a poem I had just written. I know, I sound like a right fucking twat but it was such a transcendent moment that I felt obliged to share it.
Ok, you can all get sniggering now.

Yes I have.Its rare to find someone who is clear and succinct hence eloquent and doesn't procrastinate.Chomsky is the prime example of this.
petit bourgeois ?the genre he's in is that.Music can only go so far in consciousness and unless you think it's a panacea to all then you can be accused of being petit bourgeois.I don't know if he's claimed that but you take what he says and the positives regardless.
I meant because he is a businessman and a landlord although in my case I'm in no position to stand in glass buy to lets and start throwing stones.

Noah, you describe Down in the tube station and The Jam as 'horrible ladishness'. For that I was admonishing you and pleading with you to listen to the lyrics – they are not laddish. As for 'dreary', that is quite a good description of this song but that just shows the skill of the songwriters to reflect their environment. Have you ever been to Slough?

You're actually suggesting that I listen to the ghastly thing? Ew, what an appalling idea!
The ladishness is not necessarily the fault of the band but Comrade Weller's following have always been revoltingly laddish. I can't help but be prejudiced against him for always having been a particularly irritating form of liberal lefty. Oh, and then there's the personality bypass.
Weller fits nicely into the genre of 'Dad Rock' these days. Hope that explains.
Anyways, don't worry about it, I'm a well known troll on Libcom music threads, all sorts have been subjected to my peculiar scrutiny - Jimmy Hendrix, The Clash and Patti Smith have all been grist to my mill.
Seriously though, I can't stand po faced, pop denegrating, 'credible' music snobbery. I'm simply trying to redress the balance.
You talk of lyrics skilfully reflecting their environment, well this does so with equal skill plus it's funny and entertaining. This is a very smart song and video and it drives me crazy that it goes unnoticed as such and is condemned to the cultural dustbin. I am serious about this comrade.

Midnight Lyrics:
The distant echo
Of faraway voices boarding faraway trains
To take them home to
The ones that they love and who love them forever
The glazed, dirty steps, repeat my own and reflect my thoughts
Cold and uninviting, partially naked
Except for toffee wrappers and this morning's paper
Mr. Jones got run down
Headlines of death and sorrow, they tell of tomorrow
Madmen on the rampage
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I fumble for change, and pull out the Queen
Smiling, beguiling
I put in the money and pull out a plum
Behind me
Whispers in the shadows, gruff blazing voices
Hating, waiting
"hey boy" they shout, "have you got any money?"
And I said, "I've a little money and a take away curry,
I'm on my way home to my wife.
She'll be lining up the cutlery,
You know she's expecting me
Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork"
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I first felt a fist, and then a kick
I could now smell their breath
They smelt of pubs and wormwood scrubs
And too many right wing meetings
My life swam around me
It took a look and drowned me in its own existence
The smell of brown leather
It blended in with the weather
It filled my eyes, ears, nose and mouth
It blocked all my senses
Couldn't see, hear, speak any longer
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
I said I was down in the tube station at midnight
The last thing that I saw
As I lay there on the floor
Was "Jesus saves" painted by an atheist nutter
And a British rail poster read "have an away day, a cheap holiday
Do it today!"
I glanced back on my life
And thought about my wife
Cause they took the keys, and she'll think it's me
And I'm down in the tube station at midnight
The wine will be flat and the curry's gone cold
I'm down in the tube station at midnight
Don't want to go down in a tube station at midnight

Breaking Benjamin - Natural Life (from 'Saturate.')
I guess it's kind of like pop music? Like, music more pop than alt, after 1999? Who would listen to that?
Everyone knows this is the best Pulp song, She's a lady.
Some interesting stuff in that song - Pulp often sound like they're recording in a haunted house - but it might come off as a bit too similar to 'Do You Remember the First Time' or 'Something Changed,' songs which to be fair would possibly be a decent portrayal of the history of left communism from Bordiga in the latter to the modern ICC and similar in the former. In addition, brings up quite a few themes, eg. selling pictures of herself, but doesn't really take any particular stance on this apart from vaguely taking issue with it, as it were, which comes across as a bit incomplete of course. 'Pink Glove' is a bit sharper, if indefinite, for instance, although they probably have better songs, and in general their music can be a bit samey once you get past their gimmick of Jarvis Cocker being friendzoned and abused by everyone.
Surely there's got to be someone to say that it's 'Underwear,' though, just for the sake of such a niche existing.

I heard a tune on the radio in the mid to late Nineties. It had a Poppy digital rhythm track and could loosely be described as 'reggae'. The only lyrics I can remember were:
"Got to be, part of the working class, yeah
For your friends and family:
Because we need that company... "
Does anyone know the artist and song-title ('Working Class', I presume)?
Another tune from the early Nineties that I would desperately love to track down was more underground and contained the lines:
"Jim is having his party,
Where is the police tonight?"

Rise Against - Ready To Fall.
Rise Against are impressively determined about committing suicide.
She said, "Just go on do what you
Pretend is your life, but
Please don't die on me." -
Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall.\
They'll stop at nothing to get what they want. They'll stop at nothing, so why should you?
I saw Rise Against at Brixton Academy with phoney ass politico Tom Morrelo a few years back. It was awful beyond words - a lecture between every song made up of mostly liberal claptrap but regularly employing the word 'revolution'. And then, as if it hadn't been bad enough, as an encore the dragged on Billy Bragg for some campfire revolutionary songs. It was the musical and political equivalent of having your toenails pulled out.

It was the musical and political equivalent of having your toenails pulled out.
Rise Against were generally objectionable, that said they are a bit bipolar, as they do opt despite popular trappings to identify with the fairly obscure and marginal genre of punk. They have occasionally been doing a bit better of late live, I'm told, but that might depend. The straightforward suicidal angle there does sort of encapsulate the punk elements of their style, though, so it does have a sort of appeal. Generally their earlier records are a bunch of slogans and Valentine's Day card extracts shouted loudly, which may or may not resemble the word 'revolution,' but there are occasionally some bright spots. Their earlier song 'Black Masks & Gasoline,' does include some of the trends you mention, but also some slightly similar attempts at detachment to the song previously mentioned, such as the perhaps rather cynical take on MLK, 'And I have an American Dream, but it involves black masks and gasoline,' as well as slightly less liberal sentiments than those associated with the band, like, 'We're not putting up with this planet one more day, much less one more year.'
You sort of figure that if Satan, the adversary, made a rock band, it would be quite different from Rise Against.
That may well all be true and I've no reason to doubt such a splendid fellow as yourself but it doesn't alter the fact that regardless of the sentiment expressed, their set up as 2 whole hours of imagination free tedium. The very dullest of metal tinged punk that had a similar effect to swallowing a large dose of Mogadon and the keeping yourself wake by bashing yourself over the head with a croquet mallet.

Maybe, but what it encouraged them to think was you could change things through voting Labour. So, at best, it was suggesting a kinder form of capitalism. As usual, the false hope obstacle of liberalism was placed firmly in the revolutionary road.

Some interesting references to imagery of Hell, etc., to characterise temptation, entrapment and so on. Slightly mild, but nonetheless does seem to be aiming for something more pronounced and less conventional with its imagery.

Noah Fence. If Killing Joke had made as much money as Paul Weller maybe they would have joined Red Wedge to safeguard their investments. We'll never know.
Well, I doubt it but I only posted it as some interesting and energising music of the eighties to compare with the beige drudge of Comrade Weller.
I've worked in the studio of the extremely wealthy Youth(the bass player). As a pop producer the guy was a a fucking wizard. As a person he was a stoner hippy woo woo merchant of the worst type. I don't supposed that's changed now. Anyway, he is hardly the type to join Red Wedge. I would also suggest that he is considerably richer than Weller. He's an incredibly successful songwriter and producer as well as an astute businessman. He masterminded the career of Bananarama and has a very successful record label.
God knows why I'm telling you all this. None of it alters the fact that Weller is the most boring cunt to ever catch the focus of the Noah eye.
Btw Scmoopie, I'm not sure why exactly but I like the cut of your gib. Let's be friends eh? Would t that be lovely? xxx
Thanks Noah Fence. I don't think I have any friendship on this forum so yours would be very much appreciated. I like Killing Joke. I saw them at the Hammersmith Palais. I think it was the first (and only) time I inhaled tear gas – the bouncers let some off in the lobby.
I think one day you will have a change of heart about the songwriting of Paul Weller. Stranger things have happened.

Strange Things, by Sugar 'Booga-Woogah' Minott
Hmmm, I could also become a Labour voter or start enjoying sticking pins in my eyes but I doubt it. I could even become a Billy Bragg fan! Ah stop it Noah, now your just being silly!
BTW, embedded videos won't play on my fancy new phone so I've no idea what that song is like. I do remember though that Sugar Minot had a spring instead of a neck resulting in a very wobbly head!
Also, I used to have a non sexual crush on Youth when I was young. I thought he looked so cool and glamorous and then later on I met him a number of times it was very disappointing to find he was a smelly hippy with a similar conversational style to Neil from The Young Ones. Never meet your idols, they'll let you down. Unless they don't - David Icke was fucking great!
I met Mick Jones. He met my expectations. I still love him.
Strange Things is an excellent tune. Type the artist name and title into youtube.
Hmmm, the horribly trendy Clash are another one of my pet hates. Love Complete Control though. The second best 70s punk record.

Blimey, this new fashion craze for dying amongst musicians is getting out of hand. That said, ideally hope the Annie Lennox and Billy Bragg get radio able real soon.
Annie Lennox I agree with but Billy Bragg should stick around long enough to have a nervous breakdown. The Damned are alright but sound more US than UK and I don't think it was called punk until it reached the shores of Britain.
Auld-bold's selection was good and it is sad that the man has passed away. Potrokin's tunes are good too. Roots Reggae is king:

I don't actually care too much about 70s punk. It was 40 years ago and was very much a thing of the moment. What bores me on this thread is the lack of pop music, like commission are too cool for that shit. Duh. That said, I may be wrong coz I haven't clicked on every link. If so then my bad.

I propose a comradely debate: Who is the best Spice Girl?
Let's try to keep this one civil. I know there are some hot heads around here.
Seahorse - best idea anyone's had on Libcom for a very long time.
So, at the time for me it was Sporty, mostly cause she could do backflips. I'd like to see a fucking Ronnette try that!
I've changed my view now but I'll hold back on that for a while.
BTW, watching Springwatch with Mrs Fence so can't listen to those songs at the mo. Lol, Chris Packham was talking about Great Tits and then moved on to Cock Chafers!!! I kid you not!

Don’t know no spice girls – though Alberta Hunter is spicy enough for me:
My Handy Man - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmFtwwCOmmo
Sporty Spice is my type but like a fool I bought her solo effort, Northern Lights. Nuttin' as good as the breed of weed.
Scary Spice because she seems the most fun.
So my favourite Soice has to be Emma B. Her voice on this is like spun sugar...

AB - there are all sorts of musical taste sensations available to us and I like most of them, from sugar sweet to bitter vinegar. The problem is that around 99% just don't get the recipe right so they taste like shit though. Regardless of all that, as far as this thread is concerned the morning st important thing is that the tunes don't meet the standards of credibility that the more po-faced Libcommers hold up.
Edit: Or, to put it another way, just ignore me - I'm a troll!

Yes I have.Its rare to find someone who is clear and succinct hence eloquent and doesn't procrastinate.Chomsky is the prime example of this.
petit bourgeois ?the genre he's in is that.Music can only go so far in consciousness and unless you think it's a panacea to all then you can be accused of being petit bourgeois.I don't know if he's claimed that but you take what he says and the positives regardless.
I meant because he is a businessman and a landlord although in my case I'm in no position to stand in glass buy to lets and start throwing stones.

Noah, you describe Down in the tube station and The Jam as 'horrible ladishness'. For that I was admonishing you and pleading with you to listen to the lyrics – they are not laddish. As for 'dreary', that is quite a good description of this song but that just shows the skill of the songwriters to reflect their environment. Have you ever been to Slough? As long as you're not against me, I'm not against you. I don't know what 'pre-dad' means.

You're actually suggesting that I listen to the ghastly thing? Ew, what an appalling idea!
The ladishness is not necessarily the fault of the band but Comrade Weller's following have always been revoltingly laddish. I can't help but be prejudiced against him for always having been a particularly irritating form of liberal lefty. Oh, and then there's the personality bypass.
Weller fits nicely into the genre of 'Dad Rock' these days. Hope that explains.
Anyways, don't worry about it, I'm a well known troll on Libcom music threads, all sorts have been subjected to my peculiar scrutiny - Jimmy Hendrix, The Clash and Patti Smith have all been grist to my mill.
Seriously though, I can't stand po faced, pop denegrating, 'credible' music snobbery. I'm simply trying to redress the balance.
You talk of lyrics skilfully reflecting their environment, well this does so with equal skill plus it's funny and entertaining. This is a very smart song and video and it drives me crazy that it goes unnoticed as such and is condemned to the cultural dustbin. I am serious about this comrade.

Breaking Benjamin - Natural Life (from 'Saturate.')
I guess it's kind of like pop music? Like, music more pop than alt, after 1999? Who would listen to that?
Some interesting stuff in that song - Pulp often sound like they're recording in a haunted house - but it might come off as a bit too similar to 'Do You Remember the First Time' or 'Something Changed,' songs which to be fair would possibly be a decent portrayal of the history of left communism from Bordiga in the latter to the modern ICC and similar in the former. In addition, brings up quite a few themes, eg. selling pictures of herself, but doesn't really take any particular stance on this apart from vaguely taking issue with it, as it were, which comes across as a bit incomplete of course. 'Pink Glove' is a bit sharper, if indefinite, for instance, although they probably have better songs, and in general their music can be a bit samey once you get past their gimmick of Jarvis Cocker being friendzoned and abused by everyone.
Surely there's got to be someone to say that it's 'Underwear,' though, just for the sake of such a niche existing.

I heard a tune on the radio in the mid to late Nineties. It had a Poppy digital rhythm track and could loosely be described as 'reggae'. The only lyrics I can remember were:
"Got to be, part of the working class, yeah
For your friends and family:
Because we need that company... "
Does anyone know the artist and song-title ('Working Class', I presume)?
Another tune from the early Nineties that I would desperately love to track down was more underground and contained the lines:
"Jim is having his party,
Where is the police tonight?"
Any help will be gratefully received.

Rise Against - Ready To Fall.
Rise Against are impressively determined about committing suicide.
She said, "Just go on do what you
Pretend is your life, but
Please don't die on me." -
Wings won't take me
Heights don't phase me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step
Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall.\
They'll stop at nothing to get what they want. They'll stop at nothing, so why should you?
I saw Rise Against at Brixton Academy with phoney ass politico Tom Morrelo a few years back. It was awful beyond words - a lecture between every song made up of mostly liberal claptrap but regularly employing the word 'revolution'. And then, as if it hadn't been bad enough, as an encore the dragged on Billy Bragg for some campfire revolutionary songs. It was the musical and political equivalent of having your toenails pulled out.
Noah Fence
Rise Against were generally objectionable, that said they are a bit bipolar, as they do opt despite popular trappings to identify with the fairly obscure and marginal genre of punk. They have occasionally been doing a bit better of late live, I'm told, but that might depend. The straightforward suicidal angle there does sort of encapsulate the punk elements of their style, though, so it does have a sort of appeal. Generally their earlier records are a bunch of slogans and Valentine's Day card extracts shouted loudly, which may or may not resemble the word 'revolution,' but there are occasionally some bright spots. Their earlier song 'Black Masks & Gasoline,' does include some of the trends you mention, but also some slightly similar attempts at detachment to the song previously mentioned, such as the perhaps rather cynical take on MLK, 'And I have an American Dream, but it involves black masks and gasoline,' as well as slightly less liberal sentiments than those associated with the band, like, 'We're not putting up with this planet one more day, much less one more year.'
You sort of figure that if Satan, the adversary, made a rock band, it would be quite different from Rise Against.
That may well all be true and I've no reason to doubt such a splendid fellow as yourself but it doesn't alter the fact that regardless of the sentiment expressed, their set up as 2 whole hours of imagination free tedium. The very dullest of metal tinged punk that had a similar effect to swallowing a large dose of Mogadon and the keeping yourself wake by bashing yourself over the head with a croquet mallet.

Some interesting references to imagery of Hell, etc., to characterise temptation, entrapment and so on. Slightly mild, but nonetheless does seem to be aiming for something more pronounced and less conventional with its imagery.
Noah Fence. If Killing Joke had made as much money as Paul Weller maybe they would have joined Red Wedge to safeguard their investments. We'll never know.
Schmoopie
Well, I doubt it but I only posted it as some interesting and energising music of the eighties to compare with the beige drudge of Comrade Weller.
I've worked in the studio of the extremely wealthy Youth(the bass player). As a pop producer the guy was a a fucking wizard. As a person he was a stoner hippy woo woo merchant of the worst type. I don't supposed that's changed now. Anyway, he is hardly the type to join Red Wedge. I would also suggest that he is considerably richer than Weller. He's an incredibly successful songwriter and producer as well as an astute businessman. He masterminded the career of Bananarama and has a very successful record label.
God knows why I'm telling you all this. None of it alters the fact that Weller is the most boring cunt to ever catch the focus of the Noah eye.

Strange Things, by Sugar 'Booga-Woogah' Minott
Hmmm, I could also become a Labour voter or start enjoying sticking pins in my eyes but I doubt it. I could even become a Billy Bragg fan! Ah stop it Noah, now your just being silly!
BTW, embedded videos won't play on my fancy new phone so I've no idea what that song is like. I do remember though that Sugar Minot had a spring instead of a neck resulting in a very wobbly head!
Also, I used to have a non sexual crush on Youth when I was young. I thought he looked so cool and glamorous and then later on I met him a number of times it was very disappointing to find he was a smelly hippy with a similar conversational style to Neil from The Young Ones. Never meet your idols, they'll let you down. Unless they don't - David Icke was fucking great!
I met Mick Jones. He met my expectations. I still love him.
Strange Things is an excellent tune. Type the artist name and title into youtube.
Hmmm, the horribly trendy Clash are another one of my pet hates. Love Complete Control though. The second best 70s punk record.

Blimey, this new fashion craze for dying amongst musicians is getting out of hand. That said, ideally hope the Annie Lennox and Billy Bragg get radio able real soon.
Annie Lennox I agree with but Billy Bragg should stick around long enough to have a nervous breakdown. The Damned are alright but sound more US than UK and I don't think it was called punk until it reached the shores of Britain.
Auld-bold's selection was good and it is sad that the man has passed away. Potrokin's tunes are good too. Roots Reggae is king:

We are Justified and Ancient . I bet those royalties weren't divided equitably: no business, no show baby!
Thanks you guys, I really appreciate the effort but I'm afraid those 2 pop tracks don't count. Why, I hear you ask? It's simple really, they don't count coz I don't like them.

Schmoopie #267: Justin Bieber (JB) — Love Yourself
I liked this, good lyrics and the video’s choreography is excellent (in a smarty-pants sorta way).
Re Noah’s dismissal of same – Noah, yer bum’s oot the windae.
Shit, what's a man gotta do to get a down vote around here theses days? It's just not fair.
Talking of bums oot the windae, did you see the poem I posted about Old King Cole, written by my innebriate, octergenarian, inventor neighbour for my kids when they were little?
Noah #271
Yes, I enjoyed it. Bums and gardyloo - you cannie go wrong.
Matt McGinn wrote a verse something like this:
Who farted?
Wee Annie.
Do it again,
I cannie.
God bless Wee Annie's bum.

Heavens to Murgatroid! What a peculiar world we live in.
The Home track was singularly pleasant and then it was like someone took a shit in my ear.
Oh, and correction - this is the best girl band track ever. Mimed to perfection!

Here's a good, fun, kinda trashy pop song that I'm not too ashamed to enjoy the hell out of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4XjmDqG48A
I propose a comradely debate: Who is the best Spice Girl?
Let's try to keep this one civil. I know there are some hot heads around here.
Seahorse - best idea anyone's had on Libcom for a very long time.
So, at the time for me it was Sporty, mostly cause she could do backflips. I'd like to see a fucking Ronnette try that!
I've changed my view now but I'll hold back on that for a while.
BTW, watching Springwatch with Mrs Fence so can't listen to those songs at the mo. Lol, Chris Packham was talking about Great Tits and then moved on to Cock Chafers!!! I kid you not!

Don’t know no spice girls – though Alberta Hunter is spicy enough for me:
My Handy Man - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmFtwwCOmmo
Sporty Spice is my type but like a fool I bought her solo effort, Northern Lights. Nuttin' as good as the breed of weed.
Scary Spice because she seems the most fun.
So my favourite Soice has to be Emma B. Her voice on this is like spun sugar...

The problem with cotton candy is it is sweet with no substance.
To me ‘spice’ should have something more, even be a bit salty.
Billie Holiday - I Love You Porgy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZxapd_LUaM
AB - there are all sorts of musical taste sensations available to us and I like most of them, from sugar sweet to bitter vinegar. The problem is that around 99% just don't get the recipe right so they taste like shit though. Regardless of all that, as far as this thread is concerned the morning st important thing is that the tunes don't meet the standards of credibility that the more po-faced Libcommers hold up.
Edit: Or, to put it another way, just ignore me - I'm a troll!
I hope you're listening to this, Noah
This never fails to cheer me up and I always admire the genius of the lyrics

Ms Holiday doth not float Noah's ark I'm afraid.
