Jim O'rourke is a fucking genius

ozZuB-ginK · 06.18.2006, 03:26 AM

i went out to a bar with a girl tonite. i got drunk, smoked a little herb afterwards, and drove home listening to halfway to a threeway. lately i am soo fucking hooked on jim o'rourke's solo shit. eureka, insignificance, halfwya to a threeway, this man is a fucking genius. i just wantwd to see who else would agree with my drunk opinion. Also Jams run free is the best song off the new SY record.

So true. Unless thats why they became shit. Maybe they got him in the band because they've lost it?

Aww, love halfway to a threeway. Is the song REALLY about raping handicapped people? I have to pick up a few of his records soon, I love his stuff.

maybe jams run free, but as far as i know, james is still enslaved by his mind, man.

no one has to care about my drunk opinion from last night, i just asked who agreed. Getting smashed has nothing to do with Jim O's solo work, but driving home last night his music was the perfect soundtrack to end the night, and i just realized how great he is (as if i didn't already know it)

Hes a good musician but not a genious. Most musicians aren't.

speak for yourself.

seriously, though. it does take a certain level of genious to compose some of the more...genious works in music. i'm not limiting that to strictly classical music, either. there are geniouses in pop, hip hip, jazz, and everything else...except country.

then again, you said most musicians and these geniouses aren't "most".

hip hip? must be a new scenester sub-genre.

jk...

Haha!

Hip-hip... I only heard I'm Happy, I'm Singing, And A 1,2,3,4 partially... Wasn't sure what to expect at the time... I can't really offer a opinion without giving him another listen... Speaking of geniuses, Optometry by DJ Spooky is inspiring.

it is actually. every rhyme is punctuated by a chorus of crunk ass people yelling "hip hip hooray!" if that isn't genius, then i don't know what is.

acousticrock87 · 06.18.2006, 02:58 PM

Brother James Run Free is an awesome song. What are you talking about.
