Random Music Talk LXXXVI: SCUBA Is Reporting for Duty

[PhilsFan]

He is outside the house of Alan Cross and he is awaiting further instruction.

I'm at the Osheaga music festival in Montreal and I have yet to see anyone in a onesie.

I just thought y'all should know.

From the last thread:

It's just a tag line from an old series of Under Armour commercials. The spots themselves were kind of unintentionally funny/intense. Some of us find it comical.

Popmartjin seems to think it is the most comical thing ever.

Speaking of The Cure, I am really contemplating buying a Sunday pass just to see them. I despise Lolla, mostly on account of the hoards of people who go just to be seen, but I fear this might be my only chance to see Robert & co.

Huh, I thought you already had tickets. Yeah, do that. The last three acts of the day are easily worth $100 to me, with Wild Nothing and Wavves being icing on the cake.

 

[iron yuppie]

I tried but got shut out. Now there are a hundred plus available on Craigslist, many for cheaper than face value. I may have lucked out.

Not in this case, fool.

In this case, SCUBA is the code name for an international spy/assassin. It's CLEARLY not me, I mean, come on......but, if it were me, it would be me.

So Daft Punk will be making an appearance on the Colbert Report on Tuesday. Should be interesting.

I miss the rescue pet squad

I the word apparatus.

It's Latin.

It's Latin.

The professor died before I could find time in my schedule to take Latin.

 

[LMP]

Swoop.

Keepers from Speakerboxxx/Love Below after my first listen to the album in over 6 years:

GhettoMusick
Unhappy
Bowtie
The Way You Move
Church
Flip Flop Rock
Reset
Happy Valentine's Day
Spread
Prototype
Hey Ya
Roses
Take Off Your Cool
Vibrate
A Life in the Day of Benjamin André

Even with this track listing, it wouldn't be their best album by any stretch because the chemistry isn't there and Three Stacks' rapping >>>>>>>>>>> his singing, but it would be very strong, and both albums are quite good on their own. Collectively, I'd put it below every album before it but far above Idlewild. Those cats had a remarkable five-album run.

Oh shit, the Pet Rescue Squad!

[bono_212]

Oh yes, please.

Scuba Steve?

GhettoMusick

That song is awesome. i remember listening to really crappy versions of it taken from some radio station months in advance of the albums release.

I'm contemplating seeing Angel Haze instead of Wild Nothing, Sunday. Does it make me a bad fan if I want to see someone I've never seen before and am very excited about, over a band that I legitimately consider to be my favorite new act since 2004, but have seen twice already?

Feeling good, feeling great
Feeling great, feeling good, how are you?

Do it.

Killers doing "Shadowplay" with Bernard right now

 

[Jive Turkey]

What are the Killers doing these days? Have they released anything good? They're a band that I really like when they're on, but for some reason slip into hating when they come out with something horrible

 

[Jive Turkey]

zomg U2 reference! The Other Place with shit their collective pants no doubt

 

[BoMac]

Hey, Laz, I'm going to check out Deap Valley tomorrow. I'll let you know what I think.

I'm of course, the most biased person to ask, but their last album was really good. Not their best, and the first that I don't actually know every song on, but it's still got a good number of songs on it I consider great.

Live, they just keep getting better and better. Love watching the stream. Glad I'm not out there in the rain seeing them for the 4th time (3rd time at a festival).

 

[Jive Turkey]

If Jimmy Page and Brian May had a baby, it would look like the guitarist from the Killers

Soundhound tells me that this song playing at Mimi's is by Portishead.
