Butt Bridge, Dublin, Ireland Superthread

[Irishteen]

I didn't know the name of that bridge until today...

I didn't know the name of that bridge until today...

We were rather amused when we spotted it on our map and had to take a walk to it.

And I just edited Part II of that trivia article ... thought I better make a mention of Passengers at the end for good measure. It sort of makes Zooropa's live representation look not so bad, but sort of makes it look more shit too.

 

[Irishteen]

It is a rather funny name






I'm having a lyric writing fail right now...

 

[Axver]

You could do what Bono does and plagiarise the Bible.

Not as if God can sue you anyway.

I'm stealing lyrics from young me, god I was a depressed 15-17 year old

 

[Axver]

I'm stealing from an essay I wrote a year ago and I still can't seem to get any momentum going with this thesis.

Hopefully it's a good essay



These lyrics are emo, oh well I guess the song needs more sell out



Ironically the one guitar part I wrote for this song sounds like a piano...fail

 

[Axver]

Yeah, I think it was one of my better essays.

Is this the sell-out song you mentioned, or are you selling out even more?

Well at least that's a good thing to copy off


Nope same song, I finished the guitar parts for it early, writing lyrics for it right now, then tomorrow or monday will see a drum and vocal track being laid down. And then we'll hopefully never have to sell out again

 

[Axver]

Watch out, the song will go to #1 and everybody will expect an album with more of the same.

Then again, what does it take to go #1 in Ireland nowadays? Four sales?

People will want more of the same...what would be the same pop-prog, it's gotta the complexity of prog but only lasts 2:50 minutes, but we use every second for solos and random tempo changes!

I'm pretty sure we could get to number selling it on the street

 

[Axver]

I want you to write a 60 second song that features 60 different time signatures. Get to work!

 

[Irishteen]

Ax our songs are so experimental it takes us 60 seconds to even repeat a part!

 

[Axver]

Are your songs so experimental that they are made entirely with kitchen appliances, though?

Because I am very interested in a fridge solo.

I'm thinking of doing a harmony with a fridge where I sing "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm"



Plus you haven't heard Cows yet

 

[Axver]

That sounds like it has the potential to rip off that Crash Test Dummies song!

 

[Irishteen]

It's a tribute to Pink Floyd's Animals album, it opens with the sounds of cows

 

[Axver]

I insist upon a goat snippet of the soddin' mountain variety.

 

[Irishteen]

That's possible, we haven't done much for the song, it's based on a long jam I played and the opening has cows over it, that's the song so far

 

[Axver]

Haha, awesome.

Now I shall wait impatiently for the album.

 

[Irishteen]

My internet is so slow today, Interference takes 10 minutes to load

 

[Axver]

Well you sure aren't missing much ...

God I need to stop procrastinating. Uuuuuggghhhh.

 

[Angela Harlem]

hello, arsescabs.

 

[Axver]

How's your Sunday going, Anna?

 

[Angela Harlem]

How's your Sunday going, Anna?

pretty good, thanks axo. how was yours?

 

[Axver]

Procrastinatory yet productive. Kind of contradictory times.

And I've discovered a band I'd never thought would tour Australia are touring here in January. I'm sure I'm the only Cynic fan on here, but awwww yeaaaahhhh.

 

[Angela Harlem]

You might be their only fan, full stop! I've never heard of them. Which reminds me, what's this band called Anvil? There's a stupid ad for a movie which is coming out in September. It all looks dumb. I don't get it. If it's supposed to be another comedic documentary, then they've failed already.

 

[Angela Harlem]

Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2008)

Pfft. If it's so side splittingly funny, then why does the trailer lick balls?

 

[Axver]

You're the second person who's mentioned Anvil to me in the last few days! I'd never heard of them, and they look like a pretty crappy metal band.

(But then I tend to think the vast bulk of metal prior to the 1990s was pretty crappy.)

 

[Angela Harlem]

I suspect their crappiness is the point. It smells like a poor Spinal Tap '08. And I don't think they actually do exist in a legitimate sense as a band. Or maybe I'm just hopeful?
