Random Music Talk LXVI: This is not a rutabaga song...this is CELERY SALTY CELERY!!

[Moonlit_Angel]

I wasn't a fan of any of those bands specifically, but I do remember liking the occasional song from some of them when I was younger.

Except for Trapt-I only know "Headstrong" by them, but I HATE that song, and Slipknot I've only heard bits and pieces of (which is odd, given they're from my state) and therefore can't really comment on.

Also, regarding Van Morrison, just heard "Brown-Eyed Girl" earlier. Love that song. But "Moondance" has to be my personal favorite song from him.

I hate to pry, but, do you know your right from wrong?

Well, given my political views some out there would claim I don't .

Found a picture of Iron Yuppie:

“I hope they kill that iron yuppie, thinks he’s so big.” – Homer Simpson

One of my favorite all-time Simpsons lines. I love the delivery from Homer.

But "Moondance" has to be my personal favorite song from him.

Same for me.

 

[Reggo]

Last Exit To Springfield is probably one of the best episodes ever.

 

[cobl04]

I haven't seen it in years, but I remember not being one of my favourites because I never thought it was that funny. But I was probably just too young.

 

[iron yuppie]

It's my personal favorite.

 

[u2popmofo]

Which episode is that?

 

[corianderstem]

After seeing Van Morrison a few years ago, I picked up a bunch of his albums (I'd had Moondance, Tupelo Honey and a Greatest Hits before that), even hunting down a few out-of-print older albums. I can't remember if it was Veedon Fleece that was hard to find, or Saint Dominic's Preview.

Anyway. I've been really into him the last year or so. Just great music to play on a Sunday. Or any other day where I feel kind of mellow and Vanny.

A friend just offered me a free ticket to Bumbershoot for Monday, and while I'm not really a big fan of going (festivals, you know), I will certainly take him up on the offer. I can see Best Coast and M83 for free!

And then, if I'm feeling really ambitious, I can stay until the end of the day and catch Skillrex!!!!!!

(This will not happen.)

DENTAL PLAN

So we'll march day and niiiiiight, by the old cooling tower
They have the plant, but we have the power!

 

[iron yuppie]

Which episode is that?

Homer becomes the plant union boss and fights against Burns for the dental plan.

Highly recommend getting the b-sides collection The Philosopher Stone if you don't have it already.

Yep. Back when the Simpsons was quality. Too bad the show has been in its 'Around The Sun' phase for more than ten seasons now.

Yup, got it!

 

[u2popmofo]

I don't mind recent Simpsons seasons. I don't think they're nearly as bad as many assume.

 

[bono_man2002]

They definitely have their moments every now and then.

 

[lazarus]

Got a conflict here at Fuck Yeah Fest, guys:

Sleigh Bells or Purity Ring?

Also:

Pains of Being Pure At Heart or Future Islands?

 

[iron yuppie]

Purity Ring put on an excellent show. Almost all of those songs improved in the live setting. I like Future Islands, but I'm not sure how they would hold up live.

 

[bono_212]

I do love Pains.

 

[PhilsFan]

Hey Tennessee Williams, the click just kicked in.

 

[the tourist]

My personal favorite is $pringfield.

 

[lazarus]

Well, I started at Pains (which began about 15 minutes earlier), then went over to Future Islands despite enjoying the former a lot. Wasn't feeling it at all and quickly returned to Pains. Never heard any of their stuff before but definitely going to check them out.

Sleigh Bells were pretty awesome. Totally over the top with these giant lights and stacks of speakers but very fitting. Got the crowd riled up. I left to go see some of Purity Ring, who were rather lifeless. So again, returned to catch the rest of the first act I was watching.

The Vaselines were a lot of fun. Always nice to see some of these classic alt. bands. Funny and lewd stage banter.

Caught some of Warpaint, not bad, but kind of boring.

M83 delivered in a big way. Having that full band really makes a difference. While they didn't play some of the songs I was hoping to hear (esp. New Map), I loved everything that was in the set.

 

[bono_212]

Did Purity Ring have all their lights with them? That made a lot of it for me.

 

[cobl04]

Well Grimes is like the exact opposite of what I was expecting. I wish someone had informed me earlier.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

did you think it'd be one guy with a black buzz cut and glasses who whined all the time about having to earn everything the hard way?

 

[cobl04]

Replace "guy" with "girl" and you've pretty much got what I expected. For some reason I really just thought it was yet another run-of-the-mill flavour-of-the-month female indie-pop singer.

 

[cobl04]

Do you reckon I could fit a few more hyphens in that post?

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i'd go and see a show just so i can call her grimey. (who the hell picks the name grimes as a stage name, anyway?)

 

[cobl04]

Grimes does.

 

[martha]

I think I need to check out the Vaselines.

 

[Reggo]

Fingers crossed, guys! Riley might get to come home today!

(Riley is my little brother)
