1. That Sonic Youth song, "Sympathy for the Strawberry" that's supposed to be like a combination of Sympathy for the Devil and Strawberry Fields Forever, right?

2. what is c86? who is c86? and why is it called c86?

― Slump Man (Slump Man), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:11 (twenty-two years ago)

I think it's the Brit version of C90, which means 90 minute cassette. Because England sucks, they get 4 minutes less.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

of course, I'm joking.
England doesn't suck.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah it does, i should know, im english and i have to live there! at least american tv doesnt take off good programming and replace it with coverage of tim henman jerkin off on a grass court.

It was (originally) a cassette-only release of up-and-coming bands by the New Musical Express. It was released in 1986 so they made it 86 minutes long and called it C86.

Which looks about how I remember it except I'm sure the original cassette included "I Look Alone" by Buzzcocks - maybe there were copyright issues or they had to leave it off to get it on CD

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Here!

"up and coming", now there's a euphemism i haven't heard before...

Actually, wasn't that C80, to which C86 referred?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:45 (twenty-two years ago)

C81

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:46 (twenty-two years ago)

CDR03, there's yer nonexistent/unneeded modern equivalent.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:47 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, no buzzcox on c86 — also was it actually 86 mins long? i doubt it was that conceptually rigorous!!

― mark s (mark s), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes CDR03

― Jody Beth Rosen (Jody Beth Rosen), Tuesday, 24 June 2003 15:49 (twenty-two years ago)

c86 of the modern day = "little darla has a treat for you volume 203563463" etc etc

Perhaps it's because you can't get 86 minute CDs.

What's "mathrock"?

Suicide's "Ghost Rider" is about the Marvel Comics character from the 70's, right?

Yeah, but at the same time, the CD's Brits can buy always seem to have more stuff on them (as I mentioned in This thread.)

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

What's "mathrock"? -- Tuomas

There *was* a thread on that, not very long ago (I think). The thread shouldn't be hard to find.
As to whether you'll find out there "what is mathrock", though...
;-)

anyhow:
Falsetto's...
How does it fit in the octave range?
Is is after Alto and before Soprano...or after Soprano? Or is it just Tenor on helium?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Falsetto is a method of singing, rather than an actual range.

― kate (kate), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

DOWN WITH FALSETTO'S...WE DEMAND REALSETTO'S!

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 14:07 (twenty-two years ago)

...okay, but seriously...
What IS backpacker Rap?

It's both underground and indendently released.

― JoB (JoB), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

God, students suck. Unlike us, no students here

― Andrew Thames (Andrew Thames), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

the CD's Brits can buy always seem to have more stuff on them

Its to compensate for the fact that their singles come in two-packs.

in death metal drumming, what's a blastbeat?

― dan (dan), Wednesday, 25 June 2003 16:13 (twenty-two years ago)

The rapid clobbering of a snare drum.

― original bgm, Wednesday, 25 June 2003 17:24 (twenty-two years ago)

If a flamboyant and show(-off)y female lead singer is called a Diva, should not a flamboyant and show(-off)y male lead singer is called a Divo?
And if so, does this mean that Diamond David Lee Roth should cover his sparesly covered chromedome with one of Mothersbaugh's patented Flower Pot Energy Dome hats?
