The Stone Roses

......the remix is soooo much tighter. Thanks to Reni (maybe the greatest drummer of o.g. brit-pop...if not of his time), we can see how an entire song can be written by a drum beat. just dont tell Ian Brown. Look, even I.B. wants to drop em like Alan Wren!

This song seems mysteriously unpopular in America, judging by a friend I recommended it to's attempts to download it P2P. Fuck you, America, it's a good song. A sizable chunk of Post-Punk was shit, so can we at least keep the nice bits around? OK, then. Note the bass there at the beginning. Or the entire song, really. It is happy and nice and I like it despite being a horrible, horrible person. You should to.

Through the blizzard of music we are experiencing, it is difficult for a song to stick with ya and achieve timelessness. For me, a song has to arouse a strong emotion in me to achieve that. Stone Roses' I Wanna Be Adored is one of the songs that has my eternal dedication. It doesn't even matter if it's about a certain popular arch fiend, insecurity, megalomania, redemption, fragility, the need to be loved, or all the above; either way you look at it, all that matters is ho...

While looking for the video to this song I found a YouTubers page filled with these 6min clips of something called ITV Chart Shows from 1989-1994, obviously British, these clips seem to give you a weekly update of the Top 10 Indie videos and Rock videos from back in the day. A pretty good research tool if your needing to look back on bands from that time. I found it informative and thought one of you may as well. Check it out here: ITV Chart Shows

i dont need to sell my soul he's already in me there once was a boy and a girl who were mis-matched in every possible way. she wore thick lines of kohl under her eyes, dyed her hair every other weekend, wrote in composition books, and smoked far too many cigarettes. he had long hair lightened blonde by surfing every morning, friends who invited him to keg parties that he never took her to, and lectured her on giving up cigarettes even though he smoked pot daily. despite ...

It is Funky Friday, so I thought I would bust out some my favorite funk. This song by The Stone Roses has got funk and it can make me shake my rump so it is therefore funky. Be cool my fellow moggers and most of all, Enjoy! Have a great weekend!

It's really good to discover some great music years after it first came out. That's certainly true for me and The Stone Roses. I must have been sleeping when this album came out in 1989 'cos it's brilliant. This is DEFINITELY my sort of music. 'I Wanna Be Adored' is my personal favourite. Hope you like it.

I just thought I'd remind everyone of just how good Mani was with his bass lines. I still haven't got it right yet. Genius.
