Do you read music magazines while your eating your dinner ? If so what do you like ?

[David Biedny]

Ah, now here's a thread I can sink my ears into.

OK, some of the music I dig:

Frank Zappa - Dog Breath



Chris Whitley - Hellhound on my Trail (Mark, check this out, I think you might appreciate Chris). Chris was an old friend, and he left this Earth too soon and that just sucks.



Sigur Ros - seeing these guys live is nothing less than a religious experience. When they're playing, you can hear a pin drop. Gorgeous, ethereal music.





Radiohead - need I say more. Here's the latest music video for House of Cards, done entirely with lasers. VERY cool.



Yes, Radiohead can rock hard. Here's the proof:



Did I mention that I adore Radiohead?



Allan Holdsworth - if you're a guitarist, you've probably heard of Allan, if not, this guy inspired Eddie Van Halen and Zappa.



There's soooo much more....

Well, if you link Trent Reznor/NIN, then you have to see

this video

, included on the Natural Born Killers special edition laserdisk, and not seen since. Great song, sick video.

Wait. You are in a Country/Rock band from Hertfordshire??

Wow. I just looked it up. Pretty unique. That song reminds me a of a mix between 38 Special and something like Blackfoot. The rest of your stuff is a nice reminder of things like Molly Hatchet, Mother's Finest, etc.

My sister and her husband (English) live in Potters Bar. I'm sure she'd love to catch a show.

I am a music addict but I listen to the radio and CD's. I have not caught up with the times.

I wouldn't worry too much about that - "the times" sucks @zz...

Hey David,

Thanks for the tip on Chris Whitley.
I have got his album "Living with the law", favourite track is "phone call from leavenworth".

Brilliant, one of my favourite albums actually. I noticed on another thread that you said he was a friend of yours.
Until then I wasn't aware of his passing. So sorry for your loss.

A great talent lost but at least we have his music and in my opinion nobody really dies, but that's a whole other story.

Also Hi! to digigeek,

Yes it may be a surprise but Southern/Country rock is alive and kicking over here and yes those bands are an influence along with many others. Hope you like what we do.
Tell your sister to check out our myspace page at:

www.myspace.com/medicinehatuk

For upcoming dates.
Let me know if she wants to come a show and I will put her and her husband on the guest list.

Not much happening at the moment, we are currently writing new material for another album and getting our new guitarist up to speed with all the old stuff.

Peace,

Mark

Hi Irishseekers,

Been giving this some thought today, and yes I agree it would be interesting. Whether or not an alien species would gain any insight into how we tick emotionally is obviously debateable.

I would think that they would however.

Mainly because it seems to me, and i'm making an assumption here, that even though they themselves may not relate to our many musical forms. I would find it hard to imagine that any form of intelligence would be unaware of the importance of rhythm for instance.

Melody may not be of any importance to a telepath admittedly, so perhaps some species may have evolved away their ears. That I think is
my point, that they might have had at some point in they're evolution, the capacity to hear things as we do.
If that were the case then I would have thought that they would have some sort of record (excuse the pun) of that sense.

Anyway aside from all that, which is probably all nonsense after all. I would be very interested to hear music from an alien intelligence, that really intrigues me, and what do you think we would make of them emotionally from that experience?

C, D, B flat, B flat octave down, F.

• Mark[/quote ....That is a hard one to Judge Mark, I couldnt answer that until such a scenario happened' However today" Music" is almost universal to everyone on this planet, We can sing it withount useing our vocal cords and we can write it withount haveing to sing it out. So maybe if the storys being told are right about some of these visitors" (Thats is of course if they are visitors and are not from here but hide amongest us) That they would be able to understand music through some type of written means devised by us. That is if we could ever design should a language that they would understand (IT IS OPEN TO QUESTION THAT ONE) however if they are telepath beings they should be able to at least understand written language of some sort or am i talking bullshit mark
