[8:27pm] <acousvnt> Your last post on I Am A Bug was pretty good btw
[8:27pm] <acousvnt> It seemed to end kind of quick though like you ran out of things to say
[8:27pm] <acousvnt> But in a way, that's fitting, isn't it
[8:28pm] <ash`wyrk> heh
[8:28pm] <ash`wyrk> well, i am no expert on matters RKB
[8:28pm] <ash`wyrk> so i guess i did
[8:28pm] <acousvnt> You did well considering that
[8:28pm] <ash`wyrk> :)
[8:32pm] <iMooBook> I Am A Bug?
[8:32pm] <ash`wyrk> the Blog
[8:33pm] <acousvnt> Vic is a blogosphereonaut
[8:32pm] <iMooBook> hmm
[8:32pm] <ash`wyrk> did a quickie Syd send off
[8:33pm] <ash`wyrk> it is pretty fascinating to realize just how much PF owes to him, if that is the right word
[8:33pm] <ash`wyrk> and how completely fucked they really should have been after he was gone
( ... )
[8:37pm] <acousvnt> For me the mystery about Syd is what he actually wanted, if anything, because he never got a chance to even say it ... how far he wanted to go as a musician or what he wanted to do
[8:37pm] <acousvnt> Like if he was basically pushed into it or driven to do it
[8:38pm] <iMooBook> I think from what I read he wanted to do more pop songs
[8:40pm] <acousvnt> You get the sense that he at least partially wanted to destroy his own success
[8:40pm] <acousvnt> He didn't come around in his clearer moments and say "damn, I gotta do something about this, I'm really sabotaging everything"
[8:41pm] <ash`wyrk> yeah
[8:41pm] <ash`wyrk> it does seem like this was all a lark and a giggle
[8:41pm] <ash`wyrk> and then when it exploded he was kinda "uhhh, shit"
[8:41pm] <iMooBook> Then it became a job to him
[8:42pm] <acousvnt> AND HE SLACKED OFF
[8:42pm] <ash`wyrk> and, forgive me for saying so, but those two solo albums to me seem like somebody who didn't know what else to do with his day
[8:43pm] <ash`wyrk> i get the idea that they were pulled from him more than they were created, but i don't know the whole story behind them
[8:43pm] <acousvnt> I agree with that
[8:43pm] <acousvnt> That they weren't driven by a vision of his
[8:43pm] <acousvnt> That he was basically being propped up like Weekend At Bernie's
[8:45pm] <acousvnt> That said I think there are slivers of melody in there that the average schmuck couldn't write
[8:45pm] <ash`wyrk> sure
[8:45pm] <ash`wyrk> i admitted to liking a few tracks here and there
[8:46pm] <ash`wyrk> but slivers is a good word
[8:46pm] <ash`wyrk> those are very tough albums to like |
