The best stoner CD from the best stoner band?

Being so closely involved with Whoremoan led me to check out their main influence and favourite band, Kyuss. Most people seem to say Return to Sky Valley is the best Kyuss CD but I disagree, When The Circus Leaves Town is my preffered Kyuss album. There's some damned fine tunes on this CD with no need to press skip at any point. Very melodic, very chilled, very rocky, very bassey and very cool. Fully recommend this CD, it's one of the best albums I own (from a very extensive collection) BUY IT! (And no, I don't sell it, I do sell Whoremoan though, check them out ;-)

Superb Machine

Does the job beautifully, especially with a good fluid, like Vinyl Shelter fluid. The included fluid really should be avoided as was probably made more than a year ago and is known to leave deposits in the records and worst still, the stylus. Don't bother about the newer model either, this (and good fluid) is all you need.

The Best Band in the World?

In 1994 I was heavily involved with a struggling unsigned band and loved my music. I saw on TV a bunch of scallywags claiming they were the best band on the planet and they were going to be massive, all with a swaggering arrogant attitude. It immediately put my back up big time. One year later, I had to admit, "you know, they were right, they bloody well are!". The band, as you may of guessed, was Oasis. At the time they were simply incredible. If you do a bit of research as to what was in the charts around the time they arrived you'll soon see that their arrival was more than welcome to people of similar likes in music to me (and there's a good few million of us). People hated Liam but they fail to see the whole point, he is the very definition of a rock star and boy, could/can he sing! I loved them. As many Oasis fans will testify a few years later it started going a bit array, only occasionally releasing something worthy of those early hits. For me, as soon as Wonderwall went massive with all the houswive's and then Champagne Supernova came out, I was falling off the love cart. Oddly enough it was the exact same time I went to the massive Knebworth and Loch Lomond gigs. I felt gutted becuase I loved them so much but felt reassurance in that at least the first two albums were in my possession and I'd always own them. So I just kept half an eye on there following releases and eventually lost touch with what they were up to. Recently I saw a documentary about this album where Noel and Liam talked about it in 2006. Great program. I discovered the track Songbird from this and thought it was great and how nice Liam wrote it, a great track. So I bought the CD. There's so many, and trust me there really is, so many superb Oasis tracks and I would of compiled a triple CD just from the tracks I knew about. Noel - I think Cloudburst is the archityple Oasis track and it's not on this CD. What is on it though is a whole load of seriously superb anthems. Just buy it, mine only cost me 3 quid with Ebay. Buy all their early singles also, you always got 3 superb bonus tracks, which maybe where Noel went wrong, he should of held 90% of those back to keep releasing as singles and the greatest band of my life would of flourished for much longer. Thanks for such a huge enjoyable moment in my life guys, give each other a hug!
