Mike Vennart states that "Commemorative ____ T-Shirt" - originally entitled "Commemorative 9/11 T-Shirt" - doesn't have "anything to do with 9/11. I was sold a t-shirt by the singer of the Cardiacs. On the label it read 'For ages 9-11', and when he sold it to me he said "oh, here's one of our commemorative 9/11 teeshirts," so I got thinking about what sort of person would wear a 9/11 teeshirt. Someone who's not really looking to the future.[8]

This. It's still "Commemorative ____ T-Shirt" though, and should be called that.

Who gives a shit? I call it 9/11

Too bad that I already have a copy of the album. :/

Sell it on, give it to a charity shop, give it to a friend.

Zantera · « **Reply #458 on:** May 28, 2011, 04:58:58 PM »

I would probably get the signed copy if I had mastercard/VISA or whatever, but I've been seriously slacking on getting that.

They're both top 5

zxlkho · « **Reply #462 on:** May 28, 2011, 05:10:50 PM »

PT, Opeth, Coheed, TDH, and dredg.

Actually, I considered Oceansize.

The Degenerate · « **Reply #463 on:** May 28, 2011, 05:12:14 PM »

dredg is amazing but Oceansize didn't make Chuckles

rethink your list

zxlkho · « **Reply #464 on:** May 28, 2011, 05:14:00 PM »

Chuckles > your face

mizzl · « **Reply #465 on:** May 28, 2011, 05:22:40 PM »

That makes perfect sense.

I feel like this thread has been drifting slightly offtopic lately.

Anyhow, Getting Where Water Cannot is such an underrated tune, it would most likely end up in my top5 Oceansize-songs.

Ooh I have to listen to this song

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #474 on:** May 30, 2011, 04:46:59 PM »

is that on an EP?

Mootles is talking about it, so it's obviously better than everyone song on the albums.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #476 on:** May 30, 2011, 04:50:04 PM »

I just want to know what EP it's on so I can try and find it

zxlkho · « **Reply #477 on:** May 30, 2011, 04:56:18 PM »

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_and_Minor

Took me ~10 seconds.

Zantera · « **Reply #478 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:22:54 PM »

It's on the Home & Minor EP, perfect nighttime music tbh.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #479 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:23:11 PM »

I'll have to get it!

Zantera · « **Reply #480 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:27:21 PM »

Shouldn't be too hard to find, no matter if you're downloading or buying it.

It's pretty common in stores, sadly that does not apply to Music For Nurses which is much more rare, but still probably obtained through Amazon or similar sites.

ClairvoyantCat · « **Reply #481 on:** May 30, 2011, 05:36:05 PM »

Home and Minor is pretty awesome. Really nice to hear a mellow side to their work.

I'm still kicking myself for having never heard Music for Nurses, though. Gotta make that a priority.

Music For Nurses is considered by many to be their best release, so I mean, judging by that, it's obviously something you should hear.
Even if you may not like it as much as others.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #483 on:** May 30, 2011, 06:14:01 PM »

making both a priority

Pirate · « **Reply #484 on:** May 31, 2011, 03:00:04 PM »

I've settled on Long Forgotten as my favourite off of Effloresce. Massive Bereavement is amazing, but it doesn't really belong up there with the quasi-minimalist epics like Music For A Nurse, Ornament/the Last Wrongs and The Frame. If I were to rank my favourite songs they would be:

Music For A Nurse
The Frame
Ornament/the Last Wrongs
Long Forgotten

Those are really "The Big Four" I guess.

Zantera · « **Reply #485 on:** May 31, 2011, 03:43:23 PM »

Long Forgotten is really fantastic, so great to see some love for it.

My rankings kinda change everyday, but top5 as it would look now.. (no particular order)

The Frame
Music For a Nurse
Paper Champion
Getting Where Water Cannot
Savant

mizzl · « **Reply #486 on:** May 31, 2011, 04:09:53 PM »

1) Ornament/the Last Wrongs

2) The Frame
3) Music for a Nurse
4) Savant
5) Long Forgotten

zxlkho · « **Reply #487 on:** May 31, 2011, 04:24:03 PM »

Ornament/The Last Wrongs
Trail of Fire
Massive Bereavement
The Frame
Music For a Nurse

I've also been listening to Self Preserved... and I've gained an appreciation for Oscar Acceptance speech. It just ends so beautifully.

Silent/Transparent is also really great

Zantera · « **Reply #489 on:** May 31, 2011, 06:14:51 PM »

Self Preserved is much better then people give it credit for, I'd say it's on par with the rest.
Silent/Transparent is actually my favorite, though Oscar Acceptance Speech is really darn fantastic as well.
It took some time to grow on me, but like the whole album it was really rewarding.
