Doves

[mikal]

sounds good. well, if you make exceptions for YT clips, here you go:

YouTube - Doves - Push Me On

 

[Saracene]

So now that we've had about a year or so, where would you guys rate Kingdom of Rust in comparison to the other albums?

Probably ties for the second spot with The Last Broadcast - I can't decide which album I like more. Lost Souls to me still feels like their most "complete" album even though others have stronger individual tracks.

I, sadly, am like Scumbo

NSW hates me more than he hates grammatical errors.

 

[powerhour24]

Yeah, but to be fair, I completely ignore your posts.

Wow, we've had few cognizant conversations that you must have completely pulled out of your ass then.

I'm very assoquent.

Ugh, no, that sounds wrong.

But it's staying!

I bow out, nowhere to go from here haha.

By the way, Mikal, thanks for posting that clip, I liked the song a lot.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, I definitely haven't listened to it enough, or at least not recently. I had no memory of what a lot of the songs sounded like, so i was a bit surprised at how many I thought, "How did I forget this one?!", when I listened to it today.

I had the same experience, but a while ago.

Bought it, gave it a few listens, liked it, then moved on. Came back to it, was like "damn this is better than I remember" and listened some more. Etc.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

mikal, thank you for the youtube post. For some reason it reminds me of one of their other songs and at the moment I cannot name it.

 

[powerhour24]

Push Me On definitely screams b-side to me, I enjoyed it, but it sounds like much of KOR in a blender.

 

[mikal]

no prob folks. yeah, i don't know if it would have fit the album well or not. it's one of those b-sides that i just can't get enough of, but at the same time, would it have been the weakest song on the album? maybe.

it's kind of like how Stand Up Comedy would have been a kick ass b-side.

 

[FitzChivalry]

it's kind of like how Stand Up Comedy would have been a kick ass b-side.

I think we need to update your definition of "kick ass".

 

[mikal]

ok...maybe....sufficient b-side?

 

[phanan]

I never heard that B-side before. That definitely should have been on the album. Great track.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I think I will be passing up on this best of album.

 

[powerhour24]

The 2CD/DVD set looks awesome, even if I have to import it.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I'd buy the the 2CD/DVD set if I could play the DVD here in the States.

 

[powerhour24]

An awful lot of players can be unlocked and set to region 0 (all play), that's what I do with mine. Typically most brands except Sony make it really easy to do so.

[MissVelvetDress_75]

thanks!

YouTube - Doves - Andalucia






Of course this is kind of making me sad for the who-knows-how-long period we'll have to wait for a new album.

 

[mikal]

right? i'm calling 2014, lol!

 

[powerhour24]

I hold out hope for Q4 2013!

 

[u2popmofo]

I keep checking iTunes to see if that track's been added. So far, no dice. I think I'll hold out on listening to it until it's up.

 

[agentorange]

Not bad... Anyone else hear traces of Catch the Sun in there?
