What are you listening to, right now................

[quote name='Scorz']I've been listening to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, because the sax player, Clarence Clemons, died after a stroke the other day.[/QUOTE]<br />
<br />
Surely his high point was getting the mention from Bruce at the start of Santa Claus Is Coming To Town? -

Some mellow blue-eyed soul. I saw this girl busking years ago when she was a teenager. Beautiful sultry voice. I'm hearing My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth (minus the cyclone, feedback, and buried vocals, but oh, it's there.). There's an official video version, but sadly it's a single edit cut to artsy dance grant video; and there's a cool raw handheld video of the threesome performing the song live under a bridge to nobody in particular (a puzzled kid shows up); but being (ahem) a purist, I'll go with this (unofficial) version that a fanbot posted 'cos it's the original-length album version.<br />

Nice bit of jazz clarinet for 1/2 the song, then cool singer for the rest. Class -
So as is tradition in the MN5 household a mate of mine pops round for a fry up. Sangas, bacon, hash browns, beans. THe whole works. Anyway hes busy cooking as I come downstairs, he's having issues<br />
<br />
"Fark dude you're smoking the place out !" I say. Naturally once it clears I find myself drawn to this smooth tune on youtube and we pump it up and act as Gangster as a couple of white boys can.....<br />

Strangely I was never a huge fan of Gza even though he was probably the cleanest on the mic of all the clan. <br />
<br />
I was a Ghostface and Meth fan. Raekwon and ODB to a lesser extent. Always thought Rza was good with words but his flow is not my thing, trying to fit too many words in.<br />
<br />
Inspectah Deck was average. And then the part timers, in their thousands, were often crap. <br />
<br />
Should be awesome though. -
Yeah I'm an ODB fanboy for sure. I love Liquid swords and Beneath the Surface - fav Method man album was blackout with Redman. Ghostface is very sharp too - he was amazing in his Akld gig earlier this year (or late last year). The Wu were all about chemistry and the fact they were fresh and had good skills. Most have at least one solo album of note but a lot of the more recent material has been average.<br />
<br />
The RZA has been the most successful outside of rap - acting and writing the score for several movies - even got some material on Kill Bill.<br />

36 Chambers is frequently revisited in our house! -
