Interference Random Music Talk Part XV - We're using Charlie Rose tinted glasses

[The Sad Punk]

I rate Gasoline Dreams about as high as BOB, personally.

Also, So Fresh So Clean, Stanklove, Red Velvet, Slum Beautiful, Xplosion, ? and... uh, yeah, pretty much the whole album's great.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Not sure how much that has to deal with it. My perception of my own manliness (quite high, mind you) isn't affected one way or another by my taste in music. There's plenty, plenty of shit I listen to that wouldn't really kick my manliness scores into the stratosphere or anything. She & Him would certainly apply, but like I said, I don't care for the project (mostly due to M. Ward).

In any case, I know a song I like when I hear it, so there you go. I dig "Thieves."

I'm not being serious. I do like the song, and even the album, a great deal. I'm not for real worried about my manliness.

awesome i trust your judgement.

i'm almost ready to proclaim them as the Artist of the (Previous) Decade.

I love Gasoline Dreams as well. I'm probably the only one, but I think Humble Mumble may be my overall favorite Outkast song. The 'Drinkin' Again' interlude after it always cracks me up as well.

[corianderstem]

.... is that Limahl?

Now I have Neverending Story stuck in my head.

Let's not forget How We Love Deez Hoes.

AND Billy Ocean!

 

[corianderstem]

Tuuuuurn around ... look at what you seeeeeeeeeeeee-eeeee-eeeeeee!

His lip syncing in the first part of that music video is so atrocious, I laugh every time.

 

[corianderstem]

Maybe he was just too shy-shy about being on camera.

 

[Imperor]

I still love this.

 

[corianderstem]

I can't stop listening to Elbow's "Mirrorball."

I may need an intervention.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

"One Day Like This" is my favorite thing I've heard by those guys. Stunningly gorgeous song.

 

[corianderstem]

That song has finally been overtaken by several others on the disc as my favorite. But yeah, it's entirely awesome, all the same.

Go check out Mirrorball, GAF. Prettiest song ever, y/y?

 

[No spoken words]

Mirrorball is stunning, best song on the album in my opinion.

 

[phanan]

Actually haven't listened to it in a while, but yeah, what an album.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Drinking in the morning sun!
Shaking off a heavy one!

They gained at least one fan with those lyrics right there. And the rest of the song is great, too.

I will listen to "Mirrorball" right now on the YouTubes.

 

[nielsgov]

Mirrorball, Grounds For Divorce and Friend Of Mine are all great. But the middle songs are boring.

 

[corianderstem]

I don't dislike any of the songs on it, although the almost-jovial feel of The Fix and Audience With the Pope almost seem out of place.

That's even a stretch to say that, because I still really like them.

Some Riot is fantastic. Grounds For Divorce is bliss. The Bones of You is glorious. Friend of Ours is heartbreaking.

Loneliness of a Tower Crane Driver didn't do much for me at first, but it's really grown on me. Ditto Starlings, which I now love. The lyrics and the way the melody climbs is just wonderful.

 

[phanan]

So Cori, what inspired you to listen to this album non-stop this week?

 

[corianderstem]

I have no idea. I think if the songs would get out of my head for one minute, I might be able to move on to something else. And I've listened to other music, so it's not like I haven't tried!

Woe is me ... what a horrible fate, listening to a great album all week.

 

[lazarus]

Mirrorball is stunning, best song on the album in my opinion.

I think I liked it better here when you were The Seldom Seen Yid.

 

[u2popmofo]

Hey guyz, we have Elbow threads and stuff.

~Justice League of Utah

 

[corianderstem]

Do you bring out your musket of justice anytime anyone gets on a tangent about a particular band?

Or are you just yanking my chain because you heard I was lacking in sleep this week and wanted to see if you could make me burst into irrational tears?

 

[u2popmofo]

I thought one of my stereotypical posts was due. In reality, it doesn't actually bother me.

I do think this section of the forum would do better with new threads more often and such, it can sometimes move a little slow.

 

[corianderstem]

Oh, okay. Because I was ready to burst into tears and storm out of the thread.

I will go bump the Elbow thread, though. Because you cocked your musket so nicely.

 

[lazarus]

I will go bump the Elbow

This has a completely different meaning when GAF says it.

 

[corianderstem]

I thought you'd go for a joke about my "cocked your musket" comment.

I'm disappointed and a little hurt.

 

[lazarus]

I thought it kind of covered all of your Freudian goofy references.
