This very enjoyable thread has put me in mind of a line (please excuse the
pun) from Abel Ferrara's Dangerous Game, a squalid and not-very-good film,
although it does contain Madonna's best acting performance. Anyway, Harvey
Keitel's character, the indie film director, says to his leading man, James
Russo, words to the effect of "I don't care whether you have to take more
drugs or less drugs, just give me what I need."
That says a lot: snorting coke could help produce a masterpiece (Hejira,
Station to Station - or Taxi Driver) or it could produce a monstrosity like
Oasis's third album, which I'm convinced only got such reviews because all
the hacks who reviewed it had been partaking themselves.

Last played: Blur, The Great Escape - I've been listening to some neglected
albums, with the intention of getting rid of a few - this one just about
survives the cut although it's far too long
