never heard a stranglers song before. it's kinda catchy.

 

[Axver]

I was so looking forward to seeing your face when I was going to give you a lift home on Sunday night... but fate intervened.

... unless it's your fault my car got locked in the car park!!

Actually, I think Coldplay's first couple of albums have some listenable songs, where non-Chris Martin qualities manage to at least partially obscure all the negatives of his voice. I cannot stand anything they've done that's ballady or slow, though.

 

[Alisaura]

All right, I'll see how my guts feel about some toast. Then, practise.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Ugh. They're worse than Weezer. At least a couple of Weezer's songs are tolerable. But not much.

Go Clash!

i've only heard a few weezer songs, i don't think i could form an opinion on them.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

never heard this next song before, don't know this band. U2? sounds like a dumb name

(sorry, it's a lame joke but i had to do it)

 

[Axver]

That's the only one that appeals to me, yeah.

What else is in that part of town? Did you see my link last night to Melbourne Open House?

It's the only one I've ever heard, too.

I'm not sure I've heard a Coldplay song that you could call fast, actually. My favourites from Parachutes are probably Spies and Everything's Not Lost. mmmm, bass.

U2? Don't you mean Eww 2?

(Your lameness called for this lameness.)

I did see that, yeah... seems like it might be worth a look, although I probably wouldn't go of my own volition. My mum might be interested, actually... she's into historical things.

Meh. Overplay of "Sweater Song" killed them for me. One of the dumbest songs ever written.

I prefer the classics: The Who, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd (maybe a little too much on that one), Jimi, stuff like that.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

It's the only one I've ever heard, too.

ahh, i see.

I'm certainly keen on seeing some of the stuff in there. The Fed Square Labyrinth sounds especially interesting, though I'm not sure I care enough to go to the effort of booking to do it.

So you guys were talking about that amazingly catchy song

YELLOW?

What a great song, and it's wonderful how it never gets stuck in your head too.

You can sit there and sing and sing and sing:

Look at the stars
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah, they were all YELLOW

God what a fantastic song

YELLOW

is.

How I feel when I hear that song:

 

[Axver]

Hee, Ali, this made me think of you:

Standing at the centre of the Anglican Church in Victoria is St Paul's Cathedral. This landmark building is unique among Melbourne's great 19th century public buildings as it is made from sandstone, rather than the city's dominant bluestone building material. Barrabool sandstone and Waurn Ponds limestone, with spires of Hawkesbury sandstone from Sydney suffuse the cathedral in a warm yellow-brown, rather than Melbourne's characteristic cold blue-grey.

I knew somebody was going to do this.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

[LMP]

WHAAAT?:

Nike Actually Made Marty McFly's 'BTTF II' Sneakers! - Cinematical

 

[Screwtape2]

Huge points in my book for whoever put that song in.

Even more if someone put in Masoko Tanga.

I just knew better than to do it myself

Aha, that bit about St Paul's is interesting.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i've never heard of the go-betweens before. i like this song though

..... Brilliant!!

 

[Alisaura]

Didn't the Go-Betweens (Aussie group!) do that "in the streets of your town" song that closed the Aust. Vertigo shows?

 

[Axver]

Streets Of Your Town is excellent, but I haven't really gotten into any of their other material.

Like The Stranglers, me neither. I think it was on that "Songs U2 Liked" CD from a while back.

 

[Alisaura]

I am pondering your email, btw Frankie... but my brain is slow today.

Yep, and Bono also snippeted it twice in Brisbane, during Elevation and WOWY. Wish he'd kept snippeting it during Elevation rather than Kylie crap.
