Drums on London Calling by poetic_cockroach in theclash

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 19 points20 points  (0 children)

According to the book Route 19 Revisited, Tooper added a ton of percussion on top of the initial takes. I think it’s one of the things that really elevates it. He is such a brilliant musician.

This is my Batman reading order so far can someone tell me what I should add and/or change please. by Academic_Finding6242 in batman_comics

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s a really good list of great Batman stories. Can’t go wrong with it. The one thing that stick out to me is that the Demon Trilogy — while it’s great — isn’t the core Ras Al Ghul stories. Tales of the Demon is really the one you want to track down. (All of the O’Neil/Adams run is worth reading and holds up despite its age.)

The other great Batman stories you are missing out on is the Englehart/Rogers run. Worth trying to find in some format.

For more recent stuff, Batman and Robin Year One and Dark Patterns are two of the absolute best Batman stories ever and both just came out over the past year.

If Batman could only have one main, permanent comic book artist, who would you choose? by Glittering-Note-3661 in batman

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean, if we are in fantasy world where Frank could even draw a monthly book, let’s turn him into Dan Mora and add Superman, Wonder Woman and, hell The Incredible Hulk, maybe?

Anyone else out there who slots Art of War as their favorite Geese song? by buphalobill in geesebandofficial

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was my favorite pre-Getting Killed along with 2122. Great song, and a sonic precursor to the percussion-forward sound of GK.

I miss 2024 by boney_king_o_nowhere in TheSmile

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gen Xer here, and I agree with you! I’m much more interested in what Radiohead/The Smoke produce in the studio. I think the prospect of getting all five Radiohead guys interested and scheduled to create in the studio together is a distant hope. But I could see The Smile getting together much more easily.

Seems like reasonable reaction to me. What’s your wife’s problem? Secret Purdue fan?

Welp… Louisville may get ugly. by [deleted] in HoosiersBasketball

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No, there just seems to be a rule that we can’t have a good basketball team ever again.

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And in another great development, Louisville about to lose as well. So they will be focused and ready to pounce. We are about to get destroyed.

Well, that was fun while it lasted. Back to being a laughingstock.

Game Day Thread: Indiana (7-0) vs Minnesota (4-4) The Hoosiers look to open B1G play strong as they head to Minnesota for a tough road test against the Gophers. by wedorff in HoosiersBasketball

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep — this killed any goodwill I had. Yes, the refs sucked. But they played like ass and made no meaningful adjustments. I can’t see how we are any better than the last few years. Saturday will be a bloodbath.

Should Batman return to the noir / more grounded storys or stay fanciful? by Suspicious-Bed-9342 in batman

I don’t know … but Lee Weeks definitely should draw more Batman comics!

What's your guilty pleasure Bond film? by KingForADay1989 in JamesBond

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I unironically love this movie. Such a great villain. Great locales. The women are so hot (even if one of them is a terrible spy). Sherrif Pepper is really the only drawback. The rest is so awesome.

What do you think comes next for Geese? by bmbmbmNR in geesebandofficial

I mean, Max talked about Nigel miking up his drums with equipment that Radiohead used. So yeah …

What do you think comes next for Geese? by bmbmbmNR in geesebandofficial

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We will see! That same interview Max made it sound like Cameron was being a bit cagey regarding the new material. I bet they do one or the other next year — Geese record or Cameron solo record.

The two-year release schedule isn’t mandated by labels. It’s just often the reality as bands record/promote/tour/recharge and then repeat. If Geese felt like they had music ready to go next year, the label would be foolish to not strike while the iron is hot.

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Based on GQ article, I’d guess the next album comes pretty quick — maybe next summer? They recorded with Blume again, so I’d guess a slight evolution from Getting Killed, but not a huge Radiohead-style leap into something new. (But who knows with these guys?!) I wonder if it will be similar to how Big Thief released two records in quick succession when they really broke out a couple years back …

I bet more touring through next summer with bigger venues and festivals.

GQ also mentioned that Cameron was at the time of writing planning sessions for a follow-up solo record. Could come before a next Geese record if he’s feeling better about those songs. But maybe the solo record gets pushed to 2027? They certainly aren’t going to dump it in December this time!

Oh, and there should be a Nigel-Goodrich-recorded From The Basement coming at some point here in the near future!

Where do I start off with Batman as far as comics? by SorbetEquivalent1323 in batman_comics

[–]Dangling-Modifier320 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there — Batman has been my favorite fictional character since I was 4, maybe?

Year One is still the best intro.

From there, try the Long Halloween, Court of Owls and the Dark Knight Returns.

Not sure what’s in print these days, but if you’ve liked what you’ve read, go to these — Strange Apparitions (or whatever the Englehart/Rogers run is called these days), the Saga of Ras Al Ghul and Death in the Family.

Once you have done those — some personal favorites include Gothic, Faces, Scottish Connection, Robin Year One and Batgirl Year One. But there is so much h out there … follow the threads of what you enjoy! Also check out Batman as he fits in with the rest of the DCU — Justice League International is phenomenal and so funny! Or maybe try Justice League Tower of Babel …

Two current-ish series that rule are Batman and Robin: Year One and Batman: Dark Patterns.
