''They both suck. Proof: this thread has turned into a discussion of Miles Davis' 70s records. Nuffsaid.''

Well, Dave Q, you should remember your Shakespeare. Art holds a mirror up to the soul, and if a monkey looks into it, it sure as hell won't see a philosopher staring out.

like monkeys which escaped from radiohead message boards, etc?

Unless its a very philosophical monkey of course.

Christ that was quick Jess! Are you following me?

Chris Sallis, Monday, 15 April 2002 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

All right then, it's a fair cop guvnor. I admit before the entire web community that I have visited, of my own free will, websites dedicated to the british pop band radiohead. How any of you will be able to find it in your hearts to forgive me I cannot fathom, but the fact remains.

Radiohead piss on MM from a very, very great height.

Matthew- go down the road from your house (we know where you live), turn left, and you will find ILM-ers chewing the fat over Miles 70s albums.

seven years pass...

Wow, this was a weird thread.

Relistening to Mechanical for the first time in a bit. Still fantastic. This might have been Michael Beinhorn's year as a producer (see also Celebrity Skin).

Mechanical may not be the best record but its by far more enjoyable to listen to. still love it.

nine years pass...

It's Mechanical Animals.

reminded today that this year also had Mansun - Six / Pulp - This Is Hardcore / Smashing Pumpkins - Adore / Eels - Electro-Shock Blues

it was a good music year for me to be a moody 14 year old in.

What a thread.

I was a moody 13 year old when Mechanical Animals came out and I remember liking it less than Antichrist Superstar.

^^ Same, was very disappointed by it.

'The Dope Show' was cool and all but it didn't send a transgressive teenage shiver down my spine like 'The Beautiful People' when I first heard it a year prior or the rumour according to which he'd removed one of his ribs to suck his own dick.

pretty sure time reveals that mechanical animals is just better all around from a songwriting standpoint

which, ofc, i haven't really been able to listen to any of his records since the jeordie white stuff came out

xp it's true, nothing says 'transgression'' to a teenager like triplets

That and the diabolus in musica.
