He's a lower middle class (drum roll) libertarian. He had a very idealistic view of the market as the true and proper arbiter of all qualities. I tried not to judge him too harshly. We all think we understand the world at 21. I'd like to think that post-school will provide him with a harsher experience with the marketplace.eumaas wrote: ↑14 Jun 2018, 5:57pmI just can't understand that.

Wow. Frat boys across America rejoice! I cannot even comprehend how much this channel will suck. My brain simply cannot process it.

I dug their first couple albums back in the early 90s. On the Happy Mondays side of things.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
They may have been around the same time as Happy Mondays but they do not sound anything like them. The Charlatans sound is based around a Hammond organ just another band lumped in with the so called "Baggy scene". They have survived because they were always good musicians.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑30 Jun 2018, 10:38amI dug their first couple albums back in the early 90s. On the Happy Mondays side of things.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
*shrug* Those first couple albums sound a lot like Happy Mondays to me. Happy Mondays are more guitar, Charlatans more organ, but both sound like the commercial side of late 80s, early 90s house.Marky Dread wrote: ↑30 Jun 2018, 11:10amThey may have been around the same time as Happy Mondays but they do not sound anything like them.
