CaledonianGonzo Posted October 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 No-one 's saying that if you name your album 'Now then, now then' you're immediately a wrong 'un. But questions need to be asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatyeti24 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 efestivals goes around and around, and eventually comes to the conclusion that I was right all along. here's another one that you can all agree with in 100 pages from now: disco (and its offspring) are the high water marks of human cultural expression. Ancient cave paintings, Shakespeare, Leonardo di fucking Vinci were all just the warm up for Nile Rogers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closest explanation I can offer is you will reach a kind of disco nirvana (the Buddhist concept not the grunge band) You'll have to find out for yourself if you are brave enough to try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco has limped along, picked up randomly by pop acts out if ideas (even, sadly, Daft Punk). I see decent, raw, upcoming acts perform every week. Funny how you don't see anyone in their late teens/early 20s limp through a disco set it's for boring oldies. There are no exceptions. My horizons are perfectly broad. I am right. That's because it's easy to do raw. Refined and groovy is hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not shite but I do think after seeing them once I have no desire to see them again. I don’t quite understand how they have so much staying power on lineups. But then again quite a lot of people like the same thing again and again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted October 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 It's because they're one of the greatest bands of all time and have more bangers in their arsenal than 99% of Pyramid headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
