Finished butler, finished the suede. The funny thing is that Bernard's solo career has been obscene, like: in a band, ego excesses should always be kept in check....

Thank you all @ole With "White light," you can't go wrong. @lewis. Of course, "YTY" has a very different and recognized depth, but in the end, it's these small forgotten gems that warm our hearts the most. @supersoul, you're absolutely right, but in fact, Clark is not a country-rock author, but rather of "americana," a genre where that kind of piano often comes into play (think of some episodes of "No Other" by the same Gene, not to mention Manuel and Hudson from The Band, of course). @psychopompe, you're too focused on the astral visions of the sixties to appreciate the earthy scent released by the good Gene!

Yes, captain, but with Shaq they clearly can't do that fast run and gun style trademarked by Nash, so they completely changed their system during the season. It's not necessarily a bad thing; for example, they couldn't play their game against the Spurs, and maybe Shaq will prove to be a strong presence against Duncan... we’ll see! I invite you to come to Mondo NBA - Global Basketball News and Talk to share your thoughts!

When it comes to fandom, for me there’s only the magical Cagliari. As an old grunge soul that I am, my NBA heart obviously beats for the Seattle SuperSonics… even though as a kid I was more passionate about the players than the teams, particularly the blonde guy in the green jersey number 33. I’ve always had a soft spot for Phoenix; back in the early '90s, I adored Kevin Johnson. Last year they stole the championship from you, and now you’ve dismantled the team to bring in the retired Shaq (and yesterday you got taken down by 30 at home by Detroit!). Let’s see if D’Antoni can pull a few rabbits out of the hat!

Robert Redford Ordinary People (Gente Comune)

Great film, Gus Van Sant has said he loves it and has included a piece of it in each of his works... it's just a shame that it won the Oscar at the expense of "Raging Bull" (and similarly, Redford snatched the statuette from Scorsese) which was objectively on another planet.
Everclear World Of Noise

I think Everclear became really ridiculous after "Sparkle and Fade," which came out during the grunge backlash with the declared aim of riding the last wave with the approval of EMI. What to say about "World of Noise": to me, it seems like it doesn’t stray from the many demos (the lo-fi patina you refer to is due to this) that thousands of bands were producing at the time, struck by the popular music of the moment. While I believe it’s less bad than the fearsome successors, I still struggle to find a single noteworthy point. Regarding the phrase "Not derivative 'of' grunge, but derivative 'like' grunge," I don’t agree with that either… all genres after 1980 are derivative, and grunge certainly wasn’t the most exciting (non)genre around back then (bands like Jane's Addiction or Fugazi were on completely different tracks). However, I think we should make some distinction between people like Kim Thayil, Stone Gossard, or Cobain himself, who, by tinkering with the riffs of their musical forefathers, managed to create something electrifying even if not exactly "new," and those who simply followed along.
