Random Music Thread LXII: Which we did not let Cobbler title.

[No spoken words]

Oh, and, by the way, I'm pretty taken with Twin Shadow.

So, now you know that, people.

 

[LemonMelon]

I have no idea who Red Sparrowes are. Why was Fang Island opening for them?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

NSW!

You came back for the Olympics. I knew you would. I just knew it. Good to see you, man.

 

[No spoken words]

Hey GAF, good to be seen! Yeah, I couldn't resist. I love the games and that thread too much to keep away.

Off to Ocean Shores today, on the coast (duh). Spending two nights there, renting a condo on the beach (well, as close to the beach as you can get - there's dunes between you and the actual beach). There's not much to do in Ocean Shores, but I'm just going to spend two days chilling by the ocean. It's still a novelty for this midwest gal.

There's an Irish pub there that makes a mean Guiness stew, or at least there used to be. Wishing you good weather.

U2.com Brazil show happening now, interested subscribers...

I captured the stream last night. Decent quality but there's an annoying popping going on the whole time.

 

[joyfulgirl]

No popping going on now. I hadn't heard The Model with Seu Jorge before, so that was nice.

 

[iron yuppie]

Is your degree in classics or history? From which university? I'm a classicist and teach Latin and Greek now. And I'm the kind of dork who went to my best friend's house last night so we could sit and eat pizza while translating Propertius 4.11.

NSW!

How about that! I am in history, though I have had a lot of Greek and Latin as well. Got to love that Propertius.

Random personal stuff:

* SPOILER *

Also, welcome back NSW.

At the museum? I was going to try to go there on my day trip a couple years ago, but I couldn't bear to leave Pompeii. next time I will make it there.

Holy crap, there are other Classics people here? I was an undergrad Classics major. There were only 3 in my class in college. I need to work on my Latin again as I haven't done any reading in a couple years.

 

[IWasBored]

Yeah, but these posts weren't about sports.

* SPOILER *

You mean there's more to this place than b&c?

I don't believe it.

Post-rock, like Russian Circles, but more ponderous.

Same record label. It was a tad incongruous.

Fuck that, that place is scarier than pleba.

Gets an enthusiastic from me.

He's a little like the Kanye West of Latin poetry. Everything he does it just a bit over the top, but you can't help but love him. Who's your favorite ancient author? I'm an Ovid girl myself.

Sweet! I have my bachelor's and master's in Classics. Latin is the love of my life.

 

[cobl04]

I'd love to learn Latin.

Speaking of dead things, I don't know where my Animal Collective thread went, but here is the lead single from Centipede Hz.

Animal Collective - Today's Supernatural - YouTube

Not a big fan.

I lasted till 2:20.

They're back to this crap again?

The stuttered le-le-le-le-le "hook" is one of the worst ideas they've ever had.

 

[IWasBored]

That's pretty terrible.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I didn't even get to the one minute mark.

At the National Archaeological Museum.

Who's your favorite ancient author? I'm an Ovid girl myself.

That's a really difficult question. Ovid would be near the top; I had a class exclusively devoted to the Heroides that was really enjoyable. I'm also fond of Homer, Suetonius, and Apuleius.

Shouter, in case you're not on the Purling Hiss Facebook, a link to a download:

GASH FASHION: Purling Hiss - Paisley Montage

 

[cobl04]

I was listening to it trying to be objective and see how someone might enjoy it. But yeah, it's pretty terrible.

 

[No spoken words]

It's a bag of shit.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I considered working in a Missy Elliott "One Minute Man" joke when I posted but was too lazy.

 

[bono_212]

What the hell is wrong with me? I liked it.

 

[LemonMelon]

L-L-L-L-Lies!

 

[bono_212]

I probably will be singing another tune if I heard it again, but you guys had me so prepared for ear rape, I guess it just helped it out a great deal.
