First, I think you can show me the experience. If you prick your finger with a pin, you can show me the experience by pricking me with a pin. Are the ...

"Question" and "poll" are options available as checkboxes under the main text box. You're never forced to choose one of them, as far as I know.

You say that like these are the only options, as if when you're sober and in a sane state of mind you can only like easy listening and background musi...

My post covered all of those points, I think.
November 17, 2022 at 13:07
That's the best bit! Yes, I got Zoolook after getting to know Oxygene and Equinoxe. I haven't listened to it for thirty years but I remember liking it...

That's from Ommadawn. Call yourself a fan :roll:

I mean, I filleted fish in Tesco for a year and it didn't put me off fish.

I didn't know that when someone paints things for a living, they don't like to paint the same colour for too long.

I view them similar to the way I view the newer Star Wars movies, though to be honest I haven't given them (the Oldfield albums) a chance. To be even ...

Yeah I can see that. I think my current hi-fi is not up to the task. Plus, what I heard sounded kinda derivative, hence the cheese factor.
November 17, 2022 at 09:22
I may seek out some of this stuff, although I'm not very good at DIY. I doubt they were clones of anybody. Just cos they use the same instruments and ...

I regret to say that it would have been better without the Scottish lady's aimless wailing. The other musicians were playing tabla, sitar, kora and th...

No, it wasn't them. They'd got together just for that gig and I can't remember who they were off the top of ... ma heid.

:party: It's so long since I've been to see live music, I've forgotten what it's like. Actually no, what am I talking about? I went to see some pleasi...
November 17, 2022 at 08:30
I'm with @"Moliere" on this, because I thought of the same objection. To say that in talking about an experience, something is left unsaid--because it...

First time listening to Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart. I'd been led to expect unlistenable cacophony but a lot of it's really groovy to my e...

I think Uncle Paul deserves more credit.
November 12, 2022 at 18:34
You missed Paul Russell's founding of PF, the illustrious progenitor of TPF, which I'm guessing was in the early 2000s.

It's all beginning to make sense. The first time I heard that, I didn't know the story behind it, but I found it fascinating and moving all the same, ...

@"Srap Tasmaner" I took some time to explore Cecil Taylor and, rather than the early stuff, I've settled on the solo live album Garden, recorded in 19...

I see what you mean. Sounds quite conventional to begin with and then goes a bit mad later on. I like it.
November 04, 2022 at 18:17
OK boomer.
November 04, 2022 at 17:22
I'll give some earlier Cecil a spin. Now that's someone I know absolutely nothing about.
November 04, 2022 at 16:52
It didn't really bother me either; it was just disorientating. To end the book "making you feel like the layers of reality can continue to be peeled b...
November 04, 2022 at 16:35
I've got it playing now. Thanks :up: Yes, that's how I see it. Cecil Taylor is baffling. I guess I haven't given him enough of a chance.
November 04, 2022 at 16:22
:cool: I don't much like Ascension or the later stuff like Interstellar Space, but I like a few things from around 1965 and 1966, like Kulu Se Mama an...

It might be useful for those who are not so familiar with football if you summarize the problems and the criticism more clearly. What makes this one s...

I'm also bad at chess and the only time I felt drawn to play and improve my skills, I quickly became discouraged. Whether this was to do with the way ...

It's a wild ride, very enjoyable, original, and stimulating, and obviously hugely influential. He's full of ideas and has the ability to pile them up ...

Thanks for the recommendation, I hadn't listened to that album before. Cool to read your personal jazz story. I have mixed feelings about Sanders. Som...
November 04, 2022 at 07:56
I agree. I've found it fairly easy to get back into the language, although I've forgotten some of the characters. I reckon I'll re-read it in the near...

Mason & Dixon by Thomas Pynchon. I thought I ought to finish it before starting Against the Day. It's good to be back into it.
November 03, 2022 at 08:30
Ubik by Philip K. Dick. I think I'm finally beginning to appreciate his work. Just got a copy of Against the Day by Thomas Pynchon. That's 1232 pages ...

Thanks. That video is unavailable so I'll just assume it's motivational and life-affirming. Yep, that's me. Seeing the "jr" in Hank's name, I did some...

May you be restored to full auricular health very soon.

I'm on the wagon, no there are no comedy clubs, porn is not entertainment, and TPF is the best the Internet has to offer.
