Commentary or review, this is definately one of my favorite journal entries.

Anyways I actually rather like this album. It gets a second place medal for biggest grower. Trout Mask Replica getting first place.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 07-17-2009, 01:07 PM

I'll listen to it again in a decade & see if it's grown on me.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 07-17-2009, 01:19 PM

It's just occurred to me. I should have made a comment about wanting to go get a curry halfway through the album.

Yeah I didn't dig this album the first time I heard it, it really is a grower.

However a repeated lsiten might be too much to ask for poor Urban so let's applaude him for giving his best efforts.

But yeah, there's way more inaccessible prog out there, believe me. Ever heard of Henry Cow?

An Open Letter To 'Brenda'

Dear Brenda

Thank you so much for invading my personal space today in the form of asking the local village idiot who masquerades as a local radio DJ to play Achy Breaky Heart by Billy Ray Cyrus. I cannot even begin to express how much sheer loathing and contempt I have for you in mere words alone.
People like you are the reason life isn't as fun as it should be. People like you are the reason Any & Dec have an audience. People like you are the reason more people vote for the X Factor than vote in general elections. People like you are the reason why when the phrase 'the general public' is used it conjures up images in my head of human shaped pink bags filled with excrement being force fed even more shit by people like Louis Walsh & Simon Cowell while they flick through Heat magazine.
In short you are an uncultured waste of life.
Now I realise that you were requesting this song for someone else. I'm sorry I didn't quite get their name as I was busy fantasising about pummelling you in your fat head 50,000 times to catch it. But then even so if I had a friend who's day would be brightened up by listening to Achy Breaky fucking Heart the first thing I would do is bundle them on a plane to Zurich and then whisk them off to the first euthanasia clinic that would accommodate them. As a supposed member of the human race it should be your job to ridicule & mock this person for their total lack of taste, not advertising it on radio and forcing the rest of us to suffer as a result.

Yours sincerely
Richard

P.S. fuck you Brenda
