I'm definitely a rather off-the-cuff purchaser, probably because I often find interest in albums that I just plain don't hear much about. So I'll read some post about it on a forum, realize that it sounds really interesting, find it fairly cheap and give it a shot.
It's worked quite danged well; though I've definitely hit some amazing duds this way.
I come from a metal and punk background though, so charts etc never really was much of an issue with me; I sorta got used to this method from the get-go; though I've definitely gotten less tight on the ol' money-pouch over the years (well, tightening it up again nowadays, as I'm trying to convince myself that I have so many CDs that there's no reasons to order more all the time)

I think I'm more apt to do impulse purchases in jazz, as there I'll often go "ahh, Mingus plays on it? Well gee! Probably rules then!"
While in genres like f.ex. metal where I'm all jaded and crappy now I'll just go "i bet that sucks too - BALEETED!"
I'd go back and fix this post up into something that was interesting and made sense, but I leave that to you guys!

Take:

1 frustrated 15-year-old teen from middle America, 1978, after having read Tolkien and seen Frank Frazetta for the first time

A vague attempt at artistic talent

A desire to create a spooky landscape showing the setting for Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song," where the narrator 'comes from the land of ice and snow'

An unhealthy desire to portray either a Wagnerian landscape or the purported view from Hitler's mountaintop retreat

Mix, let set for three days. Include a logo, meaningless title and what look like overlays from a CAD program designing a new airport.

Serves millions, or so they hope.

outside of belgium, as everyone knows, electrinic music was ALL OVER by the time the '90s started. i never bought all those silly stories of "escstatic raves" or whatnot.
What, and New Beat had nothing to do with those "silly" raves?
What great injustice did 1990 do to you to make you bookend Balaeric as the endpoint of 'worthwhile' electronic music?

Your fractured and dismissive take on the subject just makes you look old and stupid.

Of course it'll never happen, the two are interdependent and have been for years, although this may not last much longer. It's difficult to see who of the other big boys would be in there with a chance though - Jack Straw has been very quiet of late but is too closely affiliated with Blair and I suspect that Blunkett or Clarke or whoever are too unpopular.

And there's no one else really, unless someone rises to prominence bigstyle over the next couple of years. Although people are always talking up David Miliband and Hilary Benn and people like that as future leaders, but future = 15 odd years away in this case.

Heavens!
It's not every day that I come across quotations from Finnegans Wake while browsing these, um, pages. It's not every day I read something by the boy Troussi, either. I feel compelled to say something.

First, as a really ignorant soul in so many ways, I ask to be forgiven for commenting: Finnegans Wake doesn't have an apostrophe in it. Myles na gCopaleen used to say that the mistaken insertion of that apostrophe hastened Joyce's demise.

I'll try and take things one at a time.

1. The Radiohead review I found silly. It was OK-ishly written, but overcooked - incredibly hyperbolic in tone - in fact, it could easily have been a parody. I come close to refusing to believe that the following three moments were not parodies:

The first album was a year of my life, but I lost interest, as so often, after the second one proved to be not quite as good. (In fact a bit duff...). Beginning to wonder if i should hear some of their more recent stuff, but maybe I'll put on the old tapes when I get home, and sit and shiver (puny central heating, large bedroom) along to them. Phenomenal live, when I saw them just after the first LP, but then I was absolutely trolleyed, if that's the word I'm looking for, since none of my hipster friends were willing to go, so I got pissed first on green banana vodka. Still no idea what the wretched stuff was made off.

By the way, what's this Mark Radcliffe, MArk Radcliffe show stuff--is this a Lard diss, or is Robin trying to suggest that they've gone rubbish since they sold out and went to commercial broadcast hours when five million people might get to listen to their show and enjoy them. ;-)

i try to keep my headphones fastened to my head for at least 6 out of the 7 hours i'm working; then when i get home i usually listen to music for 2 or 3 hours in the evening, with breaks for reruns of the simpsons.

personally i've been trying to slow down my record buying, just due to the fact that i do have a stack of CDs i've only listened to one or two times - but lately i've been developing better habits about listening to things, trying not to get too obsessive over albums so i don't burn out on them and exclude other things that might be just as appealing but take longer to get into. don't want to let the new missy elliott overshadow avey tare, panda bear & geologist or bladder flask, after all.

Dance-hall. Lately though I've been overhearing some stuff that sounds kind of interesting. Also, some of the Latin nights I go to play some dance-hall (is this term even used any more?) with Spanish lyrics, or something of that sort, and it's okay. There's some genre called reggaeton, but I'm not sure what that is.

Weird, I thought "would smash" was a Brit construction...

That's probably because Dom did the most to popularize it on here, but it doesn't originate with him.

The Last Laugh wrote this on thread Killing Joke - Classic Or Dud, Search And Destroy on board I Love Music on 21-Mar-2001

as a member of the kj mailing list that has invaded this board i think it's interesting to hear people attack the band coz we're all so used to agreeing with each other on how awesome they are etc. and it's good to have to defend them for once. firstly, i'd say kj are an innovative, highly influential band with a varied output, always exploring new musical territories and certainly worth checking out. the music is not to everyone's taste, a bit serious for some people, perhaps. a bit silly for others. that's cool. geordie is one of the most accomplished guitarists on the planet and has a unique style that i personally find very compelling. jaz coleman is a talented loon. i think by and large they appeal to sensitive introspective types more than metal-heads. phrases like 'honour the fire' etc are just a bit of fun not to be taken seriously and there's certainly more to them than your average metal band. at least jaz explores a wide range of ideas and his lyrics can be insightful sometimes but also very cheesy too. anyway, here comes the plug: if you'd like to find out more about killing joke check out my website: "http://www.the-last-laugh.com";. there are loads of mp3s and videos and articles so at least you'll be able to make a balanced decision.

"What are you listening to? etc etc"

joanna newsom.

she makes total honest-to-god fairy music, just singing and playing harp. she's from s.f. and devendra banhart told me to listen to her, uhhhh, so i did. it's totally elfin, totally twee, and it rules in a bjork-meets-jolie-holland-ish way.

most people i know would absolutely hate her music, that's why i just stuck it on the end of one of my "best of 2003" mixes!

Yeah it's a British expression.

Bad pun alert:
Either Pennsylvania or New Jersey -- I think the latter -- organizes itself into "townships", abbreviation "twp", and on the highway each of them gets a sign -- "Twp of Gloucester", "Twp of West Fleurville", and so on. Surely there must be a joke somewhere about the Welshman who comes to NJ and asks "Twp, twp, twp -- so where might one find the Call of West Fleurville, then?"
