@Norman: What an unpleasant little post! I simply sought to tease you, in good humour, with a few questions. Why did my post touch a nerve? Rather than engage in an interesting discussion, you just come back with the ad hominem attack. What do you hope to achieve with this style of yours?
Democratic governments? Hmm…Do you know of any?
How much harm has been done spreading 'liberal democracy' around the world?
So you believe the fairy stories around bin Laden?
Who are the real victims of data mining, do you think? How is it 'justified'? What is the true objective? Who benefits?
There's your homework, Norman!
@Johnny: Ha! I think the conscience beat you to that one! See the other thread (you know, <i>that</i> one).
@supernaut: Don't worry! I'm not going to try to take this thread in that direction! I just can't resist a little bit of fun sometimes!As far as Ek is concerned, I'd rather he'd invested in <i>the</i> Arsenal rather than <i>an</i> arsenal. Perhaps he could put a rocket up Martin Ødegaard!
Seriously, as an Arsenal fan, if I was uncertain about his designs on the club before, what you have revealed would make me completely against. He would not get my money – just as Murdoch does not get my money (no Sky in my house). The decisions we all make as consumers make our world.

Obviously, that was a quote from the Sex Pistols' 'E.M.I.' and not in any way a reference to people standing in line for their third (fourth? fifth?) shot of graphene hydroxide.
Good on your dad!
And blind acceptance is the sign
Of stupid fools who stand in line
It was good to get it off my chest.
Dank State?
That'll be the nascent, global, totalitarian state then. (Sorry – couldn't resist!)
Feel & Waiting for the One. Thanks to brindsem:
This seems to be the nearest we have to a Little Lucid Moments thread. It's a shame we don't have a dedicated thread for each album going right back. Anyway, if I were absolutely pushed to name the best Motorpsycho album, I would probably go for this one.
The reason for resurrecting this thread is simply to find somewhere to park this. Yes, it's another one of those first-time-listen reaction things just in case anyone's interested. If you can't recognise greatness listening to The Alchemyst you never will. Some favourable reactions in the video, although they really didn't get the end – one of the finest moments in ALL music – not merely in MP's oeuvre. The comments below from those new to MP are pretty positive. Welcome, guys!
@TraktorBass – Well that guy knows what he's doing!
I headed over to watch Band Geek's version of Starship Trooper. I must say, that is a very impressive stab ar it. I'm just wondering whether you know what kit the drummer is playing? I'm particularly interested to know what cymbals he's using in that setting (even if – as is to be expected – they don't sound that great).
Would love to make that sound! Oh, and he used brand new strings every time he played.
And the secret to Chris Squire's sound? A bit of thumb along with the plectrum.
Hope you all caught that splendid S.T.G. while it was still available. Unfortunately, it has now been made a private video. This is as good an opportunity as any to restate how very much I appreciate all those good Psychonauts who make their recordings freely available to all in the spirit of sharing and mutual cooperation. A heartfelt "Thank you"!
S.T.G. – sounding good!

Thanks to Sletterod (hope you're able to stand upright again soon).
