No way Nash was above Stills, at least at the time! Above producing and playing guitar, he wrote some of their best stuff, unlike fluff like 'Our house'

Just saw it, late into the game, but I'm surprised no one has thought that the possibility of Luke being Snoke could be not that he is a Sith, but that it's a disguise, his actual plan to redeem himself for Kylo Ren, by creating this evil figure to lure Kylo Ren and eventually finish off the Empire's First Order…

I know where I want MY niece to get her role models from!

Well, fortunately Lucas had the awareness and time to fix all this in the prequels with Padme, right? Huh? That was one force-of-nature gal, wasn't she?

Yeah, that's right, the celebration being more intimate made you be there with the main characters. You knew, or imagined, it would be big throughout the Empire, but like so many other things, it was best left to your imagination while you got down with Lando and some faux-world music. It kept things on the human…

Thank you! For putting into words my vague frustrations with the way music is being handled recently in this website. I know reviewers need to include the "hard facts" (who participates, the general lyrical tone), but they are increasingly forgetting to talk about music as a sound! What comes out of the speakers when…

I think the insistence on tying an artist's production to their biogaphy comes from the journalist's, or critic's, or public's, unwillingness to accept the uncertainty, randomness, ineffability, the mystery, of actually creating art. The need to have an explanation, a "what it's about", is really strong in a majority…

(Copying from another post below) Does anybody else find the only problem with this promising teaser material is that it feels a little TOO Star Wars, in an unoriginal way? It's all built on explicit references to equivalents in the previous films; there are no new robot or ship designs, no new environments, no new…

Well, I find the only problem with this promising teaser material is that it feels a little TOO Star Wars, in a non-original way. It's all built on explicit references to equivalents in the previous films; there are no new robot or ship designs, no new environments, no new creatures…for a story that takes place so…

The Yes Album and King Crimson's Discipline!? So prog was making a coolness comeback already in the late 90's!

Oh my, how times have changed. I remember watching the film when it came out, and Google was very far away in the future, so it was just a shrug, and maybe a mental note to research (on paper, of course), a note quickly forgotten. I think I didn't know the band doesn't exist until this very article. I wonder if it…

Ambivalence is probably what they were going after. I don't see Jagger writing lyrics that say, "I know this is touchy ground, so in order to avoid any misunderstandings and false controversies, let me make it clear that my intention is to highlight the injustices and inhuman treatment at the root of African American…

But, as I posted above, there was a lot of great music coming out in the last years of the 90's if you wanted to stay away from nu metal and boy bands. Although they did come mostly from England, and from Argentina we weren't as flooded with the American music industry's last gasp of monoculture. But these all came…

So much great music came out in the last years of the millenium! I had a great time avoiding the new metal and boy band fevers with music like this:

Glad you chimed in to put the record straight on the Cardigans. They had one huge hit that stands above their other, lower porofile hits, but they were actually a great band, in taht 90's cool kind of way. Nina Persson is like the male music fan's dream come true in terms of voice, look and poise. And they got a song…

Yes, and one of the deep cuts from No Jacket Required that I might actually enjoy discussing with Patrick Bateman

Same here. Just to complete my embarrasment, I could point out that it also comes very close to referencing a Genesis song (on an EP!). I am so hip…

Hmm…I should look into it. Might give me a nice idea for an avatar

Really? With the clapping and the bass snaking in and the "shoot me" and the swampy groove? I find it one of their best perfomances as a band

Yes, I remember the first time I heard the single version Let It Be guitar solo and I thought, "Am I missing a speaker? What the hell is this awful doodliing?" Geoff Emerick's book on recording the Beatles is really really hard on Harrison as a guitarrist, and if that solo is the kind of thing he played at first…
