Random Music talk LXXXIV: More weeks at #1 than Elvis & The Beatles

[No spoken words]

I'm at 25 states, I believe.

And, for what it's worth (probably not much for most people here), all 10 Canadian provinces. I need the three territories, and then I have the whole country covered.

Just two provinces for me.

 

[cobl04]

California, Nevada, Arizona, British Columbia, Alberta.

 

[nielsgov]

California, Nevada, Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Florida, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey. Might be a few more. Pretty good methinks.

@AidreenWhen There was most definitely one with EDGE ON LEAD VOCALS. I lost it...completely.

Ungh!

 

[IWasBored]

Oh yeah. Montreal counts as off the east coast of the us. My parents took me there on vacation when I was about 8 or 9. All i really remember is we went to an expos game and my mom kept going on about how much cleaner the city is than ny.

From the department of obvious truths, I just got back from the Bruce Springsteen concert here. It was EPIC! He played the Darkness... album in full and wouldn't leave the stage after 3 hours and 20 minutes (it wasn't raining hard enough, he said ). Amazing!

That's great. I'd love to hear Darkness in its entirety.

This is a goal for me, but Canadia is so far north from me.

More news from The Other Place, someone who heard new material via the band:


@AidreenWhen Bono and Edge were having some sort of listening party with random people. Adele was also there.

@AidreenWhen There were a few new recorded songs that were blasting outside..(haven't they learned their lesson yet?) And then it switched to reggae.

@AidreenWhen The new songs sound ethereal, powerful, and like Lanois said...BIG. Definitely still U2 but different.

@AidreenWhen There was most definitely one with EDGE ON LEAD VOCALS. I lost it...completely.

I'm 'cited.

That's 17 states. Four months ago it would have been 15 states. I'm not good at this.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Back from Vegas. I have stories. But I will read the thread now.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Can someone explain this to me?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrUvu1mlWco

What the fuck do you mean? It's a pop music video, for a party song, featuring a pop star partying. How is anything about this hard to understand?

It's one of the best things that's ever happened, by the way.

Wow, so awesome. Tweedy must have been in rare form with some good audience banter. I hope a decent recording emerges.

Except, somebody's not gonna like this:
“Cut Your Hair” (Pavement)

Dude, that shit stays in Vegas.

 

[cobl04]

I'd like to hear them.

That Miley Cyrus song is a gigantic pile of shit though.

How was everyone's weekend?

For those who remember him, Cujo / Pinball Wizard was safely evacuated in Calgary, and his place wasn't flooded.

 

[martha]

I didn't realize he was up there. Thanks for the good news.

How was everyone's weekend?

Fantastic, thank you. Yours?

Has anyone else heard of a band from Belfast called Cashier No 9? I was introduced to them this weekend and their sole (I think?) album is really great.

Mine was good as well. Spent 3 days at home with my parents, watched some movies, looked at the moon a bunch of times, shot some guns, ate a ton of unhealthy food. It was fun.

 

[martha]

Cori, I liked that band.
