Random Music Talk XLIV: Haunted By Dalton's Ghost

[u2popmofo]

Hey guys, I'm seeing "The Australian Pink Floyd" this weekend. My money funds the enemies of art, how does that make you all feel? Even worse, Australian enemies of art. I'm pretty much worse than Hitler, right?

 

[bono_212]

Regardless, I'm jealous. They're supposed to be pretty great.

 

[iron yuppie]

Yeah, Australian Floyd is apparently the zenith of Floyd tributes, of which there are many.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, but the lyrical changes they make to some of Floyd's most famous tracks are a bit dodgy:

"G'day You"
"Have A Fosters"
"Another Shrimp On The Barbie Part 2"
"Shine On You Crazy Kangaroo"

I mean, I'm sure they're good musicians, but that might be taking it too far.

 

[Imperor]

I thought you meant Tame Impala for whatever reason.

Anyfart, I signed up for this Spotify shit finally. Leggo.

 

[LemonMelon]

Holy fuck, Dirty Mind was on the radio this morning. Probably the coolest Prince pick I can think of, if I'm considering my favorite songs of his. I may have heard When You Were Mine once, but this tops that anyway.

 

[Imperor]

Her discography is small at the moment, but I would start with the Stridulum EP.

I rocked Valusia since it was available on Spotify and I love it. Will check out your rec next when I get a chance. Thanks, son.

re: Kelly Clarkson's new song

Haven't heard it yet, but am sad to hear you guys think it's awful. Can it be worse than Never Again?

 

[Imperor]

iYup, bro, I listened to the EP you rec'd. Hot shit. Hot hot hot. I love this broad. It's like if Austra were even more awesome. And I found out she's playing at my favorite venue in a few weeks.

 

[LemonMelon]

My band is better than your band. We've got more songs than a song convention.

 

[iron yuppie]

Yeah, it's haunting stuff. Place Stridulum and Valusia together and you have a damn fine LP. I would recommend Zola Jesus Meets LA Vampires as well, though it is even more dirge-filled than the EPs.

 

[Imperor]

I'll definitely check that one out too, thanks. Really pleased with how this is working out. And for $10, I won't be missing that show.

In other news, Scorsese's Harrison doc premieres tonight. Who's watching with me?

 

[u2popmofo]

I just realized Harry Nilsson wrong the songs in the '80's live action Popeye movie. That's sorta weird.

 

[Jive Turkey]

It's like if Austra were even more awesome.

Does that mean more goat-like or less goat-like?

 

[Imperor]

I'd expect this kind of lesbian bashing from Cobbler. But you, JT? You should know better.

 

[cobl04]

I'd watch lesbians.

I'd love to see Australian Pink Floyd. Shame they haven't actually played in Australia in like 10 years or some shit.

I did see Pink Floyd Experience though, they were pretty good. It was my first exposure to Dogs of War, and, lo and behold, it was not the worst song of all time, like many here had said.

 

[cobl04]

Happy birthday to Cassie!!

 

[bono_man2002]

Please do it.

They are way way up the back though

 

[cobl04]

Hey impy have you heard Thundercat's Golden Age of Apocalypse? I remember you loved Cosmogramma. You'd dig it.

 

[bono_212]

I just realized Harry Nilsson wrong the songs in the '80's live action Popeye movie. That's sorta weird.

Indeed, it WAS wrong of him

They are way way up the back though

Doesn't matter.

 

[bono_man2002]

I also wanna go see The Tallest Man On Earth, but he is sold out

 

[Imperor]

Must have slipped under my radar, Cobbs. I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

I also wanna go see The Tallest Man On Earth, but he is sold out

Bummer. Dude's mad underrated.

dammit, i forgot i was supposed to wage a war with the tivo dvr beast. we're not on speaking terms since the whole on demand fiasco. i'm sure it will air a bunch...i'll sort it out later.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm DVRing it, but excited to watch.

Is it two parts? Does anyone know when the second part is supposed to air?

 

[Jive Turkey]

I'd expect this kind of lesbian bashing from Cobbler. But you, JT? You should know better.

If only lesbians were a different colour, I could paint my face for halloween

Dave Chapelle's Block Party was spinning in my car this afternoon. If only those fucking phone calls were NOT THERE it would be a stellar record. Freakin' stellar.

 

[bono_212]

Bummer. Dude's mad underrated.

I felt like he was pretty overrated myself. Not that I don't like his music, but it seemed like everyone was worshiping the ground his little folk feet walked on last year.

Considering he's the tallest man on earth, they'd probably be pretty large little folk feet.

 

[LemonMelon]

Bummer. Dude's mad underrated.

And really good live too.

Sorz, Daniel.

HA! I didn't realize, btw, when I wrote that that most people might read it as "Little Folk" as in Leprechauns, that's not what I was referring to
