*revives*

Paul M. Sammon's "Future Noir - The Making of BLADE RUNNER". After buying the 5-disk Collector's Edition box I'm obsessing over the movie again and trying to read up on the books written about it. "Future Noir" certainly is informative, lots of behind-the-scenes stuff, but it gets a bit ...

"Darkest Birds". One, it was what got me into the band in the first place, and you never forget these first-time songs. Two, it's connected to certain imagery and characters dear to my heart; I often think about the hypothetical soundtracks or music videos accompanying stories and once you've made ...

What an interesting thread! I don't mind long posts, by the way, and like the other commenters I don't think one should apologize for them (or get complaints... like you said, skipping them or hitting the back button in your browser shouldn't be that hard).

it is like having a favourite period ...

ETA: I started typing before Melaszka posted, so my apologies if some parts are a bit repetitive.

I often find labeling in general very difficult when it comes to music. If I had a penny for each "This band is X" / "No way, they're Y!" discussion, I'd have... um, masses of pennies. Some terms, like ...

Perhaps I'm just too... okay, "spoiled" is not the right word here... let's say, I've seen so much worse that this environment is, um, quite refreshing. Sure, it wasn't nice, but conflict never is, and besides, unless someone's a downright troll, you're never happy to see forum members leave. Of ...

I find it fascinating how they went in "with nothing prepared" (according to Haskins), didn't rehearse, finished the recording in mere 18 days, and didn't even rework the first takes -- and yet the album came out just fine. It seems that they work amazingly well on the musical level and always have ...

Well, not right now, because the computer I'm using here doesn't have sound, but I listened to it repeatedly one hour ago -- "Slit & sl√§ng mig" by Magnus Carlson. He's a Swedish singer/songwriter and usually I'd never have thought of listening to his works, but it came up on my last.fm ...

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!

2. Never mind about being a newbie. You've got the rest of your life to catch up. Though you might need a well-paid job :D
