AHH!!

I wish I was living in Toronto now!~!!

 

[scatteroflight]

He is SO excellent. Some of the best songs ever written, a gorgeous voice, a great sense of humour and connection with the audience, and he's also a really cute guy...see him if you can. I hope he comes to Europe sometime soon!

But today I'm still sad about Midnight Oil breaking up

 

[browneyedgirl]

I was into Crowded House when I was younger...thought they were great.
Altho I kinda lost track of what Neil has been doing.....can anybody suggest some solo work to check out...

 

[Ali Rose]

BUY IT NOW



I thank Bassy And Gina can thank him too. it was all his doin's

 

[browneyedgirl]

thanks.....

I'll have to check that out.....

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

I thank Bassy And Gina can thank him too. it was all his doin's

Thank you, Bassy.

Browneyedgirl: if you want to download some of the songs from that album, I recommend, well, ALL of them. But specifically:

Driving Me Mad
Lullaby Requiem
Wherever You Are
The Climber

God, I love this album. Enjoy!

 

[dizzy]

Might go to the DC show

Some of the best songs ever written, a gorgeous voice, a great sense of humour and connection with the audience,

So true. He's really funny and talented. I saw him in NYC last July. Just got the "7 Worlds Collide" dvd and I it. Johnny Marr was great too and Eddie Vedder.... that voice.

 

[cloudimani]

bah, he never come here
Come home Neil! (ancestral home that is )

I havent seen him live, but I've seen and heard a couple of his gigs and I'd love the experience, he is an immensely talented musician and songwriter and a genuinely nice and funny guy, I can guarantee you'll be well entertained.

Has anyone ever heard the bordelrine show that was streamed on the web a while back? That was hilarious

THere is a DVD for 7 worlds Collide? That CD is great. I saw him at 9:30 in DC in July. It was one of the best shows i saw all year.

Re: Re: Might go to the DC show

Yuppers. It doesn't have any special features, but it's pretty good. Neil's son, Liam has a band and they played with Eddie Vedder. There are also bits of interviews with Neil, Johnny Marr, etc.

My favourite track from the cd and/or dvd is "Anytime".

BTW, I guess you're going to the Interpol show. Apparently, I can't make it. Have fun!

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

I bought my ticket this morning. Gah. Can't wait.

 

[joyfulgirl]

I just got the Best of Crowded House CD and I can't stop listening to it. It's an amazing collection of songs. As soon as I hear the intro to "Weather With You" I get happy. I HAVE to get Neil's solo stuff and now I'm seriously contemplating a road trip to Denver in February.

 

[Ali Rose]

I bought my ticket this morning. Gah. Can't wait.

Haha are we both losers going all by ourselves to see him???

ME: (to random friend) Wanna go see neil finn?
RANDOM FRIEND: Who?
ME: exactly.

JK i kinda wanna go alone for once. Just to see what its like to go to a show alone.

and Rhett miller is opening....

*sings* "am i gonna be LONELY FOR THE REST OF MY LIIIIIFE??!??!!?"

I just love that song. It suits me well.

 

[Hallelujah Here She Comes]

RANDOM FRIEND: Who?
ME: exactly.

BAHAHA. I do believe we are. But, hey, we can't be held responsible for the crappy music taste of our friends, now can we? And it's actually not

Hey, have you listened to Neil's first solo album at all? I just got it and I can't wait to listen to it. *uses hyper smile in every post*

 

[Ali Rose]

Hmmm no i better go get that...wahts it called?

*joins in hyper smilie posting*

 

[joyfulgirl]

I LOVE going to concerts by myself--especially in small venues. I recommend it.

I need to own every Neil Finn solo record by the end of the week.

 

[meegannie]

He's touring with Rhett Miller, who is also

 

[Kieran McConville]

His first solo album way back in 1998 was Try Whistling This. I think it's probably better than the more recent one, in so far as it's a little less laidback and very eclectic. Before that he did an album with his brother Tim, called Finn (which is where a few of the 'Seven Worlds Collide' songs such as Angels Heap came from). If you can find a copy of that I'll eat my shoes and smile while doing so.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Also, while not being the world's biggest fan of Interference, I would just like to add that these new 'quick' reply boxes are a really good idea. Especially for those of us whose computers crash on the big smilies page.

Aaaand it didn't work. Sorry Tiff...

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

*bump* because Neil Finn =

I really love Crowded House. I haven't gotten into the Split Enz as much, but I'm slowly discovering Mr Finn's solo work and it's brilliant. Yay for Neil Finn!
