Random Music Talk LXXXI: Now with special V.I.P.-level option ($450)

[LemonMelon]

Man I don't know about you guys but I would have been totally ok with She & Him not going past Volume 1.

 

[the tourist]

I haven't heard the first one, but I love the second one. So hey, there's something new! We disagree!

 

[gump]

My wife is going to their concert here in July and is wondering whether to buy the new one or not. I'm somewhat discouraging her, given that there's so many good albums to buy this month.

Speaking of new albums, I'm late to the party, but Rhye is phenomenal. I have to admit I didn't realize that the singer was a guy until I read about them online. Great voice, though.

 

[Imperor]

Rhye

singer

guy

Holy shit really?

 

[LemonMelon]

Holy shit really?

Yeah, that's why they don't show their faces live. They want to retain their mystique, particularly about that.

 

[gump]

Yeah, I was really surprised. Suddently the album title made more sense.

 

[Imperor]

I just dropped a coffee mug that said Rhye on the bottom.

 

[PhilsFan]

I just dropped a coffee mug that said Rhye on the bottom.

The lead singer is Keyser Söze!

 

[bono_212]

Holy shit really?

Wait... Wait... Wait.

Nope. I can't... Comprehend

 

[martha]

He must be a countertenor then, but from what I just listened to, a countertenor who has some trouble hitting all the right notes.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Man I don't know about you guys but I would have been totally ok with She & Him not going past Volume 1.

Yeah, they kinda suck, but New Girl doesn't. I need to catch up with that show. Taylor is gonna be on the season finale, apparently.

Cori, do you still watch New Girl?

 

[u2popmofo]

Looks like somebody stole Laz's cranky pants.

I was making one of my old-timey "I hate Wilco" jokes. I don't mind them anywhere near as much as I used to. I actually was going to go see them with Dylan and MMJ until The National show was announced today.

You guys blew my mind with that Rhye thing. I've only heard a couple songs, but never would have guessed that in a million bazillion years.

 

[Imperor]

The lead singer is Keyser Söze!

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna hit up one of those Dylan/Wilco/MMJ shows. That's too good to pass up.

Being There, Summerteeth, and YHF are three special records, and three personal favorites. Don't really love anything else they've released, though.

 

[cobl04]

I definitely thought Rhye was a female singer. The album didn't do much for me. New Girl is a great show.

 

[corianderstem]

Cori, do you still watch New Girl?

Yes! I love it. I haven't seen this week's yet.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Look out for next week's episode. The writers have gotten very fearless with the plot line.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

 

[joyfulgirl]

I was making one of my old-timey "I hate Wilco" jokes.

I knew that. That's why you only got a cranky pants reference instead of full-on wrath.

 

[cobl04]

I really wish I'd enjoyed their live show more I blame the venue mostly. It was like a big funeral parlour.

 

[joyfulgirl]

It's okay. Just a fat dude with bad hair after all. I blame Springsteen.

 

[LemonMelon]

Just a fat dude with bad hair after all.

Are we talking about Wilco or U2 or what?

 

[joyfulgirl]

Now now...

I was quoting FROM MEMORY cobbler's Wilco review.

Oh, and hey guys, apparently we don't have to do any weird tricks to use caps anymore.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm going to see if that is true

EDIT: Still need tricks.

 

[martha]

Lets try it

 

[martha]

I'm going to see if that is true

Lets try it

It's not true.

 

[cobl04]

I did say something like that. I like him a lot though. I've watched that clip of him reading Black Eyed Peas lyrics so many times.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I feel like a bit of an idiot asking this. I feel like it's something I should just know. But what the fuck is that instrument on Wilco's "I'm Always In Love"? That thing running through, making that high-pitched tone? It's one of the song's big hooks. Is it just a form of keyboard or synth set to a cool tone?

 

[LemonMelon]

Bono is a big fat liar

EDIT: no, clf is still in effect

 

[LemonMelon]

I feel like a bit of an idiot asking this. I feel like it's something I should just know. But what the fuck is that instrument on Wilco's "I'm Always In Love"? That thing running through, making that high-pitched tone? It's one of the song's big hooks. Is it just a form of keyboard or synth set to a cool tone?

It's mixed pretty low here, but at 0:25 you can see it's a keyboard:

Wilco, I'm Always In Love, live on Later With Jools Holland - YouTube

Rad tone for sure.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Weird, I typed FROM MEMORY without tricks. How?

And also the other day I typed FUCK CONDOS.

How?
