Random Music Talk LVI: Featuring Hologram Shouter and NSW

[martha]

I also may be posting at random since my book doesn't fit in my bag, and even I don't like to carry a book at these smaller venues.

 

[Reggo]

card cheat.

One of my favourite Clash songs.

 

[martha]

Not the oldest one here! And the impossibly tall singer from the Horrors walked by me. At least I think it was him. He looked musiciany and English.

 

[martha]

It's too dark to read in here anyway.

 

[iron yuppie]

Damn, I would love to see The Horrors. Enjoy.

 

[martha]

I will. I saw them on their first tour (it was their first album anyway) and they were crazy and kind of intense. Their music has changed since that first album, so we'll see.

 

[phanan]

The guy who did the flute in Down Under died in mysterious circumstances yesterday.

Greg Ham.

That's really weird. I listened to those first two Men At Work albums in full for the first time in ages yesterday.

 

[LemonMelon]

Thanks a lot, Phanan.

That guy played the saxophone hook in Who Can It Be Now. This whole thing bums me out.

 

[martha]

Did any of you guys ever see Urgh! A Music War? It's a bunch of late 70s/early 80s punk and new wave. It's a lot of fun. I haven't seen it in ages.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Ooh, yeah, I saw that on VH1 Classic a number of years back. I taped it, too, but that tape isn't with me at the moment. Of course. It was fun.

I also saw, by the way, in the last thread that you got you some Nick Lowe stuff, martha. I approve of this .

I would be surprised if you had never heard California Love before.

I have to say I really like that song. I dunno why. It's just fun to dance to, I guess.

As for Arcade Fire...I've only heard a few songs from Neon Bible, but I like what I've heard from there. Particularly this song:
Arcade Fire - Ocean Of Noise - YouTube

Also, sorry to hear about all the people who've passed lately. That stuff really does come in threes, it seems. And Robin Gibb's apparently in a coma of late, too, so...yeah. Sad times musically.

 

[martha]

The Black Angels just ended with a shredding sitar solo.


Iyup, I only came to see the Black Angels, but because you're just so awesome, I'm going to stick around and check out the Horrors rather than going back to my room and sleeping.


I'm also apparently talking to myself in here.

Oh darlin' that was stuff I was trading in.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

Oh. Sorry. Misread .

It's been a long week.

 

[martha]

I hear ya.

 

[Reggo]

A friend of a friend trying to make nice with me suddenly started badmouthing Green Day on facebook chat. I did the childish thing, sent her a link to the GTFO rage face guy, then closed facebook.

She typed like an idiot anyway. no punctuation or capitalization so you werent sure when one vapid thought ended and the next began like this all throughout the damn chat and she talked over me all the time

I'm sort of angry I showed her Cookie Waits now. Cookie Waits is one of my favourite YouTube Things ever.

 

[Jive Turkey]

What's your favourite song off TOTBL? I can't pick one.

Leif Erikson and The New

 

[mobvok]

Googled Cookie Waits and realized I haven't heard a Tom Waits song before now. Huh.

 

[martha]

Dammit. I really miss Shouter.

 

[Reggo]

Googled Cookie Waits and realized I haven't heard a Tom Waits song before now. Huh.

You poor deprived soul. Go listen to more, not all of his songs are that growly.

Dammit. I really miss Shouter.

Me, too. What gives, GAF? Gave up on your alter?

 

[LemonMelon]

The Black Angels just ended with a shredding sitar solo.

It's funny, I finally heard one of their albums today, Passover. Really strong, reminded me of Black Lips and Spacemen 3.

Leif Erikson

Hell yes.

I need to admit to myself that TOTBL is one of my favorite albums. I just found it so overrated for so long.

Dammit. I really miss Shouter.

We were just starting to find some music in common

 

[joyfulgirl]

I'm gonna watch "The Last Waltz" this weekend.

 

[martha]

Iyup, I tried. I lasted a song and a half.

 

[martha]

It's funny, I finally heard one of their albums today, Passover. Really strong, reminded me of Black Lips and Spacemen 3.

(

I need to check out Spacemen 3 I think.

 

[LemonMelon]

Spacemen 3- Take me to the other side - YouTube

Hell yes you do. They're like Spiritualized (same singer) if all they did was shoot heroin and listen to Shouter's acid rock favorites.

 

[Danny Boy]

I'm working from home this morning and listening to the new record from Allo Darlin'. Nice enough alt-pop, I guess. Sort of like 10,000 Maniacs with a slight county lilt, but nothing really jumped out at me the first time through. Capricornia is the "rocker" on here, I suppose. I like that one.

 

[martha]

Spacemen 3- Take me to the other side - YouTube

Hell yes you do. They're like Spiritualized (same singer) if all they did was shoot heroin and listen to Shouter's acid rock favorites.

Yep. I'll put them on my list for the next trip to the record store. Thanks for that.

 

[Danny Boy]

OK, now back to regularly scheduled programming Spiritualized.

 

[Danny Boy]

Oh, I almost forgot; today is GAF's favorite holiday. Happy 4/20.

 

[Imperor]

Stupidest god damn "holiday."

 

[lazarus]

It's also Hilter's birthday, NSW BTW.
