I'd love to peruse your thoughts on this album, if you'd be so kind as to provide a link?

Also, what do you think of their self-titled album?

Your opinions of Beijing? Personally, I enjoy some of the attractions, but find the city itself to be a little bland, compared to Shanghai or Chengdu.

Xi'an is lovely, though.

(I'm a Galapogos Islander, by the way. The 'how?'
or 'why?' is unimportant. Trust me. :crazy:)

I like this game.

I haven't been able to get a copy of their ST, I have their Zombies on the Airwaves of Paris EP which is fun but obviously a big step down artistically.

You might possibly the funniest and wittiest troll I have ever seen.

I have to admit, reading this was truly enjoyable. :)

:laughing: This thread is fantastic... delusional or not, he's recommending some great albums. You should stick around for a while. Snowman looks quite good, based on your review fruit.

I need a cure for boredom at work.

And this game likes you. Very much. Possibly in a disconcertingly unprofessional manner. Now, how about a...*ahem* lollipop?

Fruitonica, that is an excellent review. Exceptionally well-written. Snowman's self-titled album is very different to The Horse, the Rat and the Swan, but I still rather enjoy it. Should you be so inclined, pm me your postal address, and I shall send a copy of this album directly to you, at my own expense.

Again, my sincerest compliments. I shall look forward to your future posts, and any prescriptions that you might make.

Good sir/madam, I take umbrage at your accusations of trolling, yet remain rather chuffed that my medical terminology has affected you in such a positive manner. It's confusing, this duality of emotion. Perhaps some xanax and a little nap is in order...

Ah, yes, the common modern day malady, "Occupational Doldrums". Incredibly contagious, and a health threat to rival any mutated H1N1 strain.

music_phantom, for you I prescribe my absolute favourite indie band and album:

Band: Not From There
Album: Sand on Seven
Descriptors: The most indie of indie, this band exposed the ARIA's for the sensational farce that it is. Upon winning an ARIA award (egads! tautology!) for the above album, they took to the stage, whereupon the lead singer was heard to remark, "We don't even know what the f*** we are doing here."

Poignant.

The album itself encompasses a vast array of aesthetics- jagged post-punk morphs into soaring riff-age, before giving way to hypnotic loops and samples. Vocals alternate between spoken word, croons, and barked German. It may be difficult to find, but it is certainly worth the effort.
"Seek" it out...*ahem*.

Don't mind me. Just take the positive side of your duality of emotion and don't do drugs. :)

This sounds good! I will give it a shot.

EDIT: hmmm. having trouble finding it. any chance of an upload?

What would you have done if I was a guy?
