Random Music Talk CXXII: 2018 It Is

[cobl04]

How to Make Gravy
Bradman
Every Fucking City
Everything's Turning to White

I've only listened to the two Songs from the South comps, tho.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias, guys.

Spoiler

I didn’t go only because the tickets were so fucking expensive.

 

[Axver]

Bradman is another over-rated Paul Kelly snoozefest.

His long rambly story songs do not do it for me one bit. I'm here for his excellent chorus hooks.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Plus Bradman's also a little bit dependent on you caring about Don Bradman... and I kinda don't. I generally avoid Paul Kelly's cricket songs.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Everything's Turning To White on the other hand is unforgettable. Maybe I just feel that way because it always makes me think (obviously) of the film 'Jindabyne', but yeah.

See, I fucking love cricket, and that song still doesn't get there for me.

Is this an episode of I Love Aussie Music?

I've not seen that film, but just before I went to ask what it was about, I thought I'd look it up, and yeah, based off the same short story. It's a remarkable short story. So powerful. And PK's version is haunting.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah. And you've pissed off to frog land while you miss Gang of Youths.

Yeah, a Raymond Carver short story, I believe.

I'm pretty sure Kelly had a hand in the soundtrack work on that film, also, and if not, then certainly on Lantana by the same director a couple of years earlier.

Frankly a lot of that evocative film score stuff of his is almost more interesting to me than his regular hits.

 

[Kieran McConville]

See, I fucking love cricket, and that song still doesn't get there for me.

I also don't go for Leaps and Bounds as it references the MCG.

Remember that time when the Late Show did a piss take about Things Of Stone And Wood, about their song ticking off Melbourne cliches and landmarks?

 

[Axver]

My whole life is a Melbourne cliche, so.

 

[Axver]

Hey Cobbs, have you listened to Mod Con?

This year's Cable Ties, perhaps. I suppose in style they sit somewhere between Cable Ties and Wet Lips.

 

[cobl04]

I have not. Should I?

Also, I've been trying to do the '10 albums' thing on FB, but I'd really like to split it male-female 50-50, but whilst there are like shittons of albums by men that immediately spring to mind, very few by females come to mind I need to listen to more women.

Absolutely fuck you on your first point, why do you hate the single greatest construction mankind has ever made?

Of course I fucking remember it. It's iconic. Rhyming Captain Cook's cabin with Moorabbin. Incredible.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Oh come on, I don't hate the MCG. That's... absurd. But as I said, avoiding Paul Kelly's cricket songs on the whole.

 

[Hewson]

Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias, guys.

[gump]

On double billing, I once had a The National (opener)/Modest Mouse/R.E.M. in MSG (circa 2008). That was pretty awesome.

That thread's on smoko, so leave it alone.

 

[Danny Boy]

So, I did not know until Cinco de Mayo that cilantro and coriander are the same thing.

 

[lazarus]

So you mean a triple billing?

 

[gump]

So you mean a triple billing?

Well, I am tend to see a double billing as a show when there's technically not a headliner. In this case, it was a double billing with Modest Mouse/REM (I think they were touring together or something like that), and The National were an opener.

I guess it doesn't really matter.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Hewson, I have that photo of Mr. Worldwide saved in my faves. You never know when you’re gonna need it.

So I wanna recommend DJ Koze to a coworker this morning...is it pronounced Cozy?

 

[Hewson]

So, I did not know until Cinco de Mayo that cilantro and coriander are the same thing.

So in actuality we have a regular here named cilantrostem?

 

[bono_212]

You know that thing where you didn't know something until recently and then you run into it all the time? I just found out about this last week and it's the third time now I've seen it referenced since.

Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias, guys.

Spoiler

I mean, let's be real, if that was your music scene, that's a jam, right there.

 

[iron yuppie]

That would be a great alter.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

So, I did not know until Cinco de Mayo that cilantro and coriander are the same thing.

they both taste vile.

 

[Hewson]

they both taste vile.

But which is worse?

 

[corianderstem]

I would NEVER name myself after something as vile as cilantro.

Coriander at least sounds pleasant. Had I known it was the same thing, I would have thrown Find the River into the trash and never listened to it again.

Damn it, Stipe.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

But which is worse?

don't make me choose! It tastes like feet.
