My Breakfast With Gjuddy: “Critical Mess”

3:27:10 PM Gjuddy McMudd: The kindest that may be said of the studio compositions–by and large interminable avant-prog rambles in search of the lost chord–is that they haven’t dated terribly well.
3:27:26 PM BuCkSaTaN: Floyd?
3:27:30 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Yeah.
3:27:30 PM BuCkSaTaN: What fucker wrote that!
3:27:42 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Andrew Mueller.
3:27:44 PM BuCkSaTaN: Needs his teeth stomped in, sounds like to me.
3:28:18 PM BuCkSaTaN: “Haven’t dated well.”
3:28:27 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Well I dunno…
3:28:31 PM BuCkSaTaN: What does he want? For them to sound like a band from this era??
3:28:43 PM Gjuddy McMudd: He talking about ummagumma.
3:28:51 PM BuCkSaTaN: hmm…
3:28:55 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Not Floyd as a whole…
3:29:15 PM Gjuddy McMudd: Released in 1969, Ummagumma represents where the influence of departed founding songwriter Syd Barrett began to fade in favor of the rather less whimsical and pastoral visions of Roger Waters. Ummagumma is a double album, divided into live and studio halves. The live cuts–”Astronomy Domine,” “Careful with That Axe, Eugene,” “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” and “A Saucerful of Secrets”–established the Floyd’s predilection for gloomily atmospheric and faintly preposterous sci-fi bombast that would turn them into such a successful stage act. The kindest that may be said of the studio compositions–by and large interminable avant-prog rambles in search of the lost chord–is that they haven’t dated terribly well. –Andrew Mueller
3:29:46 PM BuCkSaTaN: “faintly preposterous sci-fi bombast”….
3:29:53 PM BuCkSaTaN: Pretentious creep.
3:30:11 PM Gjuddy McMudd: touchy…


3:30:37 PM BuCkSaTaN: I rest my case

3:30:58 PM Gjuddy McMudd: haha
3:31:20 PM BuCkSaTaN: It’s really not his fault he can’t get laid.
3:32:14 PM Gjuddy McMudd: “Mueller’s prose is as spectacular as a Taliban attack on Lollapalooza” – P.J. O’Rourke
3:32:20 PM BuCkSaTaN: Great.
3:32:37 PM BuCkSaTaN: So he’s a terrorist.
3:33:24 PM BuCkSaTaN: And apparently has a religious hatred for bands – according to O’Rourke.
