Wavves have more songs in their locker than No Age. The thing with Nouns for me, it's highlights are great, there are 2 or 3 songs on it that i repeatedly listen to, then theres some 'experimental' noise interludes which go along ok, nothing too offensive. THEN, there is the rest of the album that i just skip.

In comparison, the album Wavvves is, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION, brimming with infectiously good pop songs. He may be a tosser, but he knows how to write a tune.

My point wasn't that I'm trying to jump into the trends just that I'm fine with it if that's the only way you view No Age fans.

Urban Hat€monger ?

Well i'm not suggesting you are. Just because you like an album doesn't mean your buying into a trend. You are perfectly entitled to listen to it on it's own merits that's fine. I never at any point suggested it was a bad album, my criticism of it that it was too safe , not bad.

What I am getting at is that this album will be seen as nothing more than filler for a here today gone tomorrow trend recorded by a here today gone tomorrow band who from what I can hear on this album have nothing of interest to say & no aspirations of recording anything remotely original.

Hey, I thought you were going to stop being so easy on them.

I have a feeling that you are 100% correct about the future of this band's rep. I personally already regard them that way.

I really enjoyed reading your "Love" by The Cult review. I didn't know Ian had a fixation on Jim Morrison. But now that you mention it, it seems like I can hear a faint resemblance in his voice, he even looks like him too. And the "She Sells Sanctuary" music video is just fandamntastic. I am so unbelievably jealous that you got to see them live. Unless I ever get to see them live, I will hate you forever. This is so stupid but since I am so intrigued by Ian's since of fashion I just have to ask you what he was wearing when you saw him.

Urban Hat€monger ?

Well the Morrisson fixation runs a bit deeper than that, I was thinking more of him writing songs about wolves , snakes & native American ideology & that sort of thing (Especially on the Ceremony album). Just like Morrisson did.

I remember this well because I was right at the front for their set.

He was wearing black motorcycle boots, black leather trousers, black leather jacket and had a really bright red polo neck sweater under it. Black 60s style shades (Which he never took off) and his hair was short too. He has like a black bob rather than the long flowing locks he's known for.

Basically he looked like he was auditioning for the Velvet Underground.

I actually went out & bought an outfit just like that a few weeks later , minus the leather trousers of course.

Ah, I see. But I still think he has a faint resemblance in his voice and he does look alot like him when he got older.

oh and you just had to tell me that didn't you^ haha

Very interesting. Thank you! I hope he could bust out his dance moves with all that leather on.

Do you still have that outfit? *austin powers purr

Urban Hat€monger ?

I don't think he did that much dancing, he just sort of stood there looking cool & patrolled the front of the stage.

I still have the jacket (Along with another 6 ) and I have some boots that are similar.

Still wouldn't be seen dead in leather trousers.

That's a good observation.
Another clue was when he was asked by former members of The Doors to impersonate Morrison professionally and Astbury jumped at the chance.
