Random Music Talk LXXIX: A Tradition Like Many Others

[u2popmofo]

I had a crazy drama filled week, haven't been around much. Aside from Sigur Ros, anything else cool that I missed?

Ha, I came in the thread to say a similar thing. I've basically been just watching basketball for the last four days and haven't spent much time on the site and was wondering what I missed.

In music news, I'm just really stoked to buy Comedown Machine tomorrow.

 

[nielsgov]

I'm gonna buy that one as well, along with anither album I can't think of at the moment.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Biologically speaking, I think they would be beyond that now. Perhaps DB, JT, or one of our other resident scienticians can back me up on that one.

but it was be pretty tough to get a controlled trial past an Institutional Review Board.

If you're up to the task and are looking for a control... in the name of science and all that

 

[Jive Turkey]

The Barenaked Ladies also wrote the theme song to one of the most trite television shows currently airing.

What show is that?

 

[Jive Turkey]

Oh, and just got some tickets to see the new National documentary at the HotDocs film festival
Lots of good ones showing this year (as is usually the case). If anyone is in Toronto, it's highly recommended

 

[u2popmofo]

Do you mean HotoDoco Filmo Festo?

 

[cobl04]

You guys are doing it all wrong. We only give the doco treatment to shorten words. "Hoto" and "Filmo" is ludicrous.

What show is that?

Big Bang Theory

Apparently Tilda Swinton was in a box at MoMa today but there was such a mob I didn't see her. However, I did way better than that. Way better. Don't hate me.

Spoiler

Michael Fucking Stipe. Looking at art. Right beside me. Literally right beside me. Probably going to the Sigur Ros show tonight, too.

Jealous for both Stipe and your Sigur Ros show.

 

[martha]

She leads a damned charmed life.

Last time I was at the MOMA I saw Kyp Malone from TV on the Radio. Though it may have just been some random-ass beardo.

 

[cobl04]

That dude is so cool. And Dave Sitek looks like Clark Kent.

 

[Danny Boy]

Though it may have just been some random-ass beardo.

Plenty of those outside MOMA but usually not inside.

 

[PhilsFan]

Any reference to Stipe now just makes me think of that picture of him at the dentist's office. Which is awesome. I hope that popped in to your head when you saw him looking at art.

Ha, hardly. I've had a good run this year after a long, sad and sorry spell.

I did not think of that but I wish I had. I might have been less star struck.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Jealous of your Stipe sighting. Did you say anything to him? I honestly don't think I could have resisted saying at least "Thank you for the music" or "I'm a big fan" or something like that. Yeah, actually, I definitely would not have resisted. I would have said something to him.

 

[u2popmofo]

The one and only time I tried to say anything "real" to a musician I'm a big fan of, I sounded like Tonto or Tarzan. "You make music me like. You good. Me fan long time. Me excite for you show. Me drive long time get here. You look me weird. Me buy shirt now."

 

[martha]

I'm laughing at that.

I mean with you. I'm laughing with you.

 

[bono_212]

I'm laughing at him.

But because I relate. When I met Colin Hay (yeah, not exactly the biggest celebrity in the world) I couldn't even look him in the eye. I kept trying to pull Travis away because I was afraid we were taking up too much of his time, but Hay was apparently enjoying his conversation because he kept on talking and talking and I was just so shy about the whole thing, it was horrible.

 

[cobl04]

I'm pretty sure I'm sobbed uncontrollably when I walked past Lisa Lobsinger after a BSS gig. The whole band was just standing out the back of the venue having a smoke on the curb.

I think this is a cool convo topic.

 

[PhilsFan]

Some guy just wandered into my apartment, looked at me sitting here on the couch with my laptop, nodded in my direction while tipping his Budweiser pounder and said, "Good night." Then he walked out and shut the door quietly.

I hope he has a good night too, because his morning is going to be a bitch.
