i looked at sigur ros's schedule again...it must have been another band that's doing the europe/states switch with me. but they're basically in the wrong part of europe for me at all times, or at festivals which i don't want to bother with.

Yeah, I see that for Australia, they're here to do a festival and we're just lucky they've added a couple of side shows. I don't find the idea of a festival event remotely appealling. Far too many people for far too little reward.

 

[LMP]

Would you guys frown upon me having a random live track in the middle of my list?

Even if it's by Huey Lewis & the News.

 

[Varitek]

ax you should be on Convict I think...one of my favorites on the album, though I think I can say that about 40% of the album

 

[RavenBlue]

Huey Lewis..

man they used to play that at my old job all day.

Over and over

 

[Axver]

Actually, Vazza, I'm already up to the closer. I'm amazed how seamlessly this album has flowed by. What great composition.

i don't even know what they sound like live. i'm seeing them this summer, though. yeah, i admitted it though.

i have them on my list though

I went to a local radio station's festival when I was 14. I think I saw Coldplay, no joke. They played Yellow. They were pretty damn new, it was 7 years ago.

But yeah, in a country where I don't speak the language, alone, with one band I know I"m interested in, and having to travel there, deviating from my plans? no thanks

the one possibility is Warsaw but I really can't tie myself down enough to get tickets. Oh well. Maybe I'll catch them some time in the next year in Europe.

I've seen them live, too. Pretty awesome stuff.

Yeah, Trouble in Paradise off of the We Are the World album. Ballin' sax solos to the max.

get the 2nd one, and next time, listen to vol 1 and 2 in a row.

I like vol 1 better, slightly, and maybe it's because i've had it longer so i'm more familiar, but they're great together.

Do you really care what I think after this time around?

 

[phillyfan26]

Running diaries tonight.

First up: "Mercy" by Ours, which Andrew sent me a while ago.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Yeah, I see that for Australia, they're here to do a festival and we're just lucky they've added a couple of side shows. I don't find the idea of a festival event remotely appealling. Far too many people for far too little reward.

the great thing about festivals though is even if you want to see one band and leave (which is ridiculous because you'll be there for 2-3 hours for one hour of music, so you might as well hang around), you paid probably half the price you'd normally pay to see the band. unless it's a smaller band, of course.

 

[LMP]

Do you really care what I think after this time around?

Not particularly.

At least you're honest, which I do respect, even if your final assessment was a bit harsh.

Mia's not around to do the Bumpass thread soon, is she?

we are the world...as in usa for africa?

in related news, i solved the problems with my list in regards to me being over. even though it's still months away

 

[Varitek]

Yes... USA for Africa.

Slightly embarrassing, but it's the muthafuckin' News, Khan.

Make sure you save the list as a .txt file in case you make anymore changes to it. I learned that the hard way.

There you go.

 

[Axver]

you do it

Righto, getting it ready now.

 

[phillyfan26]

The first track is Mercy, and it's very good so far.

 

[Varitek]

mia's coming to make the thread

 

[Axver]

The first track is Mercy, and it's very good so far.

But the big question is: Mercy by Ours vs Mercy by U2?

 

[Axver]

mia's coming to make the thread

Oh, just as I finished writing my draft too. But good!

Wikipedia informs me that Bumpass used to have the Grasberger Ice Cream Spoon Factory.

 

[phillyfan26]

Mercy by Ours for 200, Alex.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

There you go.

now i get to start on my entry for #6, which will be the one i mentioned will be the worst playlist ever.

You should collaborate with Phanan. You both seem set on making everyone ache in pain, when you both would clearly not.

 

[phillyfan26]

The Worst Things Beautiful is probably better than the opening track, a little shorter and more concise.

 

[Varitek]

we're making it to bumpass just in the nick of time, before the clock strikes midnight
