Interference Random Music Talk Part XV - We're using Charlie Rose tinted glasses

Looks like NSW's gonna have to pick a side soon. His tribe, or Boner's clan:

Gaza Blockade: Israel Vows To Block Rachel Corrie, New Aid Ship

 

[Imperor]

I've never listened to Elbow. Not sure if I plan on it. Terrible name.

 

[lazarus]

More like ElBLOWS, right Lance? Lance?

 

[corianderstem]

I thought it kind of covered all of your Freudian goofy references.

It's like a Cori Dirty Poetry generator.

Elbow got their name from a book ... one of those old, well-known crime authors or something, and the main character has a line about how "elbow" is the most sensuous word - saying it is, not necessarily the word itself.

Or something. I just learned that today.

They're no Steve Pole Bath Tub.

Well, Deputy, time to give 'em a chance anyway.

 

[If you shout...]

Band was awesome.

YouTube - Steel Pole Bath Tub "Soul Cannon"

Dudes clearly knew how to cover a song. God damn.

They're no Steve Pole Bath Tub.

STEVE POLE!

I love Gasoline Dreams as well. I'm probably the only one, but I think Humble Mumble may be my overall favorite Outkast song. The 'Drinkin' Again' interlude after it always cracks me up as well.

i look forward to the interludes... Good Day Good Sir from The Love Below is pretty funny.

 

[lazarus]

The Love Below never gets enough credit in general, despite the Grammy wins.

 

[cobl04]

The Love Below is fucking amazing, from start to finish. i couldn't imagine how many times i've listened to it.

 

[lazarus]

In case anyone was looking for another reason to hate Vampire Weekend, here you go:

Pretty self-explanatory.

 

[martha]

The Love Below is fucking amazing, from start to finish. i couldn't imagine how many times i've listened to it.

I can barely get through it. Speakerboxxxxxx on the other hand.....

Fucking Amazing.

 

[LMP]

The Love Below never gets enough credit in general, despite the Grammy wins.

It begs to ask the question, "Where are my panties?"

 

[cobl04]

maybe i'll just lay here and let him touch my booty...

YouTube - Doves - Caught By The River

 

[u2popmofo]

Spoiler

I like Doves more than Elbow

 

[lazarus]

Anyone get that Shuttlecock vinyl song yet and wanna PM me the info/link/whatever?


thx

 

[cobl04]

Spoiler

I like Doves more than Elbow

Spoiler

i like Outkast better than both

thx

What's this all about?

 

[corianderstem]

The song that comes on the vinyl that comes with the DVD box set. It's the song they came onstage to on the tour. I'll PM you.

 

[Imperor]

This is all news to me, but it's nice to see they're still putting out money grubbing deluxe editions.

Ah, I remember this song. Thanks for sending it. Kind of a trifle, no?

 

[corianderstem]

Jah, a bit. Nice to have a non-bootleg version of it, but not really worth the giant price (although it does come with a bunch of stuff).

If they do ever release Songs of Ascent, and if this song is actually on it, I could see it as an intro song type thing.

 

[PhilsFan]

Can someone PM me this too? I haven't heard the song in any form, since, you know, U2 hasn't played Philly.

 

[corianderstem]

Done and done!

 

[lazarus]

I think it's awesome, BTW. From an instrumentation standpoint. Sounds like new (or at least less-covered) ground by the band.

Strings are very cool, even though they might be fake.

 

[corianderstem]

They did that with Original of the Species too, right? Fake strings on the album, and then the real thing on the single?

What the eff is up with that? Like they can't afford to hire a handful of orchestral musicians.

 

[lazarus]

Well I'm pretty sure the strings on Swing were real, no?

The stuff on Original of the Birdies was painful, though. Not enough to ruin the song, luckily.

 

[corianderstem]

I had to stop and think about what "Swing" was. Yes, I believe that's an actual honest-to-pete cello.

 

[lazarus]

Would have liked Moroccan strings on the album, to be honest. Hell, Moroccan ANYTHING.

Maybe there will be some more Fez flava on Serves of Ascent.
