take out the distortions and it'd be strictly ok I guess

the other week i was thinking while intoxicated that it is almost a template for that very early oasis sound, give or take a little less monody and distortion and a bit more t rex beatles football chants etc etc

its a bit that ok, but I'd go status quo/trex/slade first before assuming noely g was spreading wings any wider

yes i wasnt suggesting he was copying spacemen 3, although its not too unlikely thar he heard them
he probably he did borrow something from ride, chapterhouse etc who were following in their slipstream
― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 6 January 2015 00:10 (nine years ago) link
youd possibly like the first two albums by ride actually, assuming you dont already know them or think they are shit
― nakhchivan, Tuesday, 6 January 2015 00:15 (nine years ago) link
I will check em out &thks
I dont v often think "thats shit" but I do tend towards "I dont rly need to hear anything right now" and then its even more seldom I need that anything to be new iykwim

idk there's a selection committee he's a returned emigrant who's settled in Kerry and writes poems and has gotten a bit of notice so I guess that and being from down the road got him this years gig
I know nothing of boll and only a little of Camille souter or paul henry truly I eschew the arts as packaged to us simple islanders
― local eire man (darraghmac), Friday, 20 February 2015 13:52 (nine years ago) link
idk who either of those are

I feel better so

paul henry could be the name of a water engineer from westport

he'd be from the Newport side tbh in fact to my experience he'd be from polranny lynchehaun (not polranny sweeney)

thank you darraghmac for welcoming drunkposting insufferable me to ilx
was a fan even as a lurker, yet your kindness surprised me; goodhearted ye are
tbh sometimes don’t understand your posts (I’d need like Ulysses Annotated) but always esteem them anyway

Darragh I'm reading the coldest eye, have you read it and if not can you read it and comment on the accuracy of every declaration made about "The Irish"
― prole, you'll be a yeoman soon (wins), Sunday, 15 March 2015 14:28 (nine years ago) link
Oops, a colder eye I mean /tipsy

hi drash, I'm as cuddly and soft as it gets. I dont know where I get a rep otherwise tbh. also the hard to understand thing baffles me but maybe its the accent. idk. hi anyway.
wins ive read v little apart from mediocre to good teen fantasy the past few years due to college pressures and a frankly appalling attn span but if you recommend a synopsis or offer what you feel to be a representative quote I'll happily critique the entire work

New q can you recommend some teen fantasy

like, ive been called obtuse a good bit this past year, which is a projected judgement of my motive/position in arguments and usually quite incorrect imo but normally its wins or nakh so its ok, sometimes by eg stevie or xelab posters I like but I tend to annoy and thats ok and sometimes its by genuine honest to god idiots,confused by toasters morons, in which case eh you can only shrug I spose
but to be called obtuse by afl posters is a bit lol tho im a fan of all there obv

xp I cannot, my tastes have been comfort reading of the lowest sort and my recommendations would invariably appall.
I'd recommend stuff to raggett maybe, we've liked same stuff before. I might expand now that my evenings are free but it might be mainly about pensions from now on have u read any good pensions stuff

ACE is a v amusing account of "the modern Irish writers" by the American Hugh Kenner, here is an early tidbit:
The Irish story is more complicated. Plenty of the reading matter and acting matter they produce seems intended for natives alone, but Irish writers have always been naggingly aware that Irishmen do not as a rule buy books, have never bought them, have even inherited a tradition whereby to write when you might be talking is an unnatural act. Books in England are sacred objects, exempt from the 10-percent Value Added Tax: not (until 1 April 1982) in Ireland.

I'd be happy enough to endorse the thrust of that excerpt every pub has a genius gabber seems a bit rich to scribble it down and sell it to the Brits as work

The opening goes on about the "Irish Fact" and holds up Brian o'nolan as the foremost exponent
It's really lively, I'm only 70 pages in but may post more later if I can be bothered to tap out passages
― prole, you'll be a yeoman soon (wins), Sunday, 15 March 2015 16:16 (nine years ago) link
nakh started a poll before listing derogations (mainly) from Richard Burton about the irish consider that imo
― post you had fecund thoughts about (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 March 2015 16:18 (nine years ago) link
Derogations not my aim! Author is m/l a hibernophile but obv makes a lot of sweeping statements about the place, thought it might be interesting or funny to cross-check w experience

somewhat obtuse of you to confuse that term with obscure, your timeworn criticism of the minority interest subforum ilafl
― pom /via/ chi (nakhchivan), Sunday, 15 March 2015 16:46 (nine years ago) link
I stand by it yr projecting intention again
XP I know derogation wasn't the aim but aimed accurately (and from Burton and indeed nakh idk can you not take causticity as seriously as from other less interesting sources) and allied with obvious kinship its often as illuminating and intimate as any praise/comment

this is my criticism more than obtuseness as such, you are far less of a rube than most despite the culchie posturing
consider your last tilting against landfills episode in the c_____n thread -- you suggest that both you and your interlocutors /really/ know what you are talking about, when it isn't clear that you do, and even if you did then they probably woudn't
― pom /via/ chi (nakhchivan), Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:04 (nine years ago) link
that was amazing work by mencap incidentally

Agree that garden variety incoherence is the main problem with darraghmac's tedious mra vaguebooking, not to pile on or anything
― prole, you'll be a yeoman soon (wins), Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:11 (nine years ago) link
lol at landfills
I fear I'm exactly the rube suggested but in knowing it may have a possible advantage at times. I'm a culchie before all else, without any element of expertise beyond purely functional education in the liberal or classical or what have you spheres highly valued on ilx. seeing as imo there's no accounting for different experiences/education/knowledge otherwise attained so better not to assume it imo.
wider point than discussing just myself obv there's ppl with degrees and private schooling and experience on things I like to discuss and as soon as I disagree with them they're wrong.
― post you had fecund thoughts about (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:16 (nine years ago) link
MRA, like I reject this utterly obv but fair enough shorthand distaste but its actually one of the things that irks. discussion on ilx on such issues is p much 100% a race to label ppl as in the tent or not, and the results are eh imo they're shit but I'm not getting an online degree on bell hooks to get in the tent to say so.
― post you had fecund thoughts about (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 March 2015 17:20 (nine years ago) link
XP just to be clear u and nakh making oft repeatdd and often valid criticisms are not a pile on, a pile on is digs from ppl I dont like.

tho admittedly as an appreciation thread ye could do with keeping some sort of fair ratio in mind but I'm not a high maintenance kind of guy or anything

Well you have like 20 degrees and I have none and we're agreed you are a good poster and person I just don't relish the next 6000 variations on "____ shaming itt tsk tsk nagl safe space safe space twitter ____shaming *mutters unintelligibly"
Added mra unfairly just to put something before vaguebooking

its a reaction to an otherwise total lack of ilx content, and thats read as reactionary, like tbh I meet an ilxor this stuff never comes up as ive zero interest in most of it and tbftm would readily acknowledge ive zero at stake. ive several wonderful liberal friends etc etc and am kind to the elderly, animals and children irl.

like matt DC landed a srs zing there lately by referencing my lack of content in the clarkson thread and I thought dear god the poor fella thinks that this hollow porridge-consistency triumphalism over a cunt like clarkson transitioning from adored BBC presenter to adored sky presenter is *ilx-level content* and I'm spoiling it and yknow I was shook and sad and sorry for all involved inc me
