Roxy Music...

You a pre or post Eno fan? Much and all as I like Eno, I like RM as they came to the end of their careers and started making very polished pop...

bittersweet is really somethin, thought i'd just say that

after hearing their first few albums, Avalon came as a bit of a surprise. polished describes it well.

but i'd have to go with their Eno involved albums for my favorites

Two enjoyable phases. I enjoy more the demented Eno-era Roxy.

like i said in the other one

*dejected teenagers dance, confused*

*ferry leers like a gay venusian cabaret artist*

*an oboe is abused*

*teens, less dejected but more confused than before*

*eno's gloved hand descends to give another burst of alien sound*

*no longer confused, but still rather glum teenagers continue to sort of shuffle*

*ferry amps up the sleazy leering a notch*

still.... we are flying down to RIIIOOOOOOOO!

i love this clip, despite the glum teens.

i was sad to see musikladen is down now?

it's all mirrored on this muzu.tv thing tho.

when i start watching these early clips of roxy on musikladen, i can't stop.

they were a truly original group and their live setup was totally groundbreaking

eno's 'solo' on this fuckin KILLS IT. and 'look out sailor... wooo!' so lol

man everyone just goes fuckin mental on this one

so good.

Andy McKay had a house in South Kerry so know a few who knew him and Ferry, who used to visit. And while McKay was a popular fellow, think the consensus on Ferry is as you describe.

Every album they made is a classic.

funny, roxy music (especially avalon) is one of my first music-memories! my dad had the album on tape in his car.

and there is this great fsol-rmx of a brian ferry-song:

(i think i liked the shorter version more but its not on yt)

I love them. LOVE them. Listening to Sunset from Stranded on repeat as I write. For Your PLeasure is probably my favorite album of all time.

Country Life, Stranded, Manifesto ~ Oh me Oh my...

my MOM liked these guys

so? i grew up listening to awesome stuff like joni mitchell, steely dan, the beatles, and bach. (also shit music like barry manilow and stuff i can appreciate but wouldn't listen to like gordon lightfoot). the point? moms are people too, with taste, some of which you'll like and some of which you won't. to dismiss music just because your MOM listened to it is fucking stupid. now go and check out the self-titled album and for your pleasure. and then come back with an opinion.

kthx

we are flying down to riiiiiiooooooo

i fucking love roxy music

edit: just noticed this is a *very* well-made edit of two performances - top of the pops and musik laden. pretty cool.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v27SIQPZ6cc

still sounds good. even if ferry is still a fucking cunt.

i think especially with the early live shit, i've hardly ever seen a band do so much onstage - tape loops, ferry back and forth between mics, synth, piano, fucking oboe. really really ambitious for the time. the musik laden site, which hosted loads and loads of pretty good quality recordings of germany's version of the old grey whistle test (was aka beat club) went offline due to lack of funding a couple of months ago, and all the videos were transferred to a youtube channel instead. a minor tragedy imo.

I was being sarcastic? She liked Kraftwerk and a lot of things too. And it wasn't dismissing the music, yes sort of in disbelief that not just someone's mom but my own but not really I was pretty much being sarcastic all the way

Roxy Music?

Feel like a bit of a tirade of abuse welling up. But being English I shall quell the demons of vitroil and will just politely say, 'not my cup of tea, thank-you very much squire.'
