Random Music Talk LXXXVIII: Don't mention your vacations

[Hewson]

So anybody travel anyplace good lately?

 

[martha]

I went to Hollywood last night.


TO SEE A MUSICAL PERFORMER.

 

[trojanchick99]

I want to Malibu last night to see a play. It was Prometheus Bound at the Getty Villa. The staging was great, and they even had the chorus chanting. Loved it.

 

[Popmartijn]

I'm coming over for your daughters soon!


To catch some concerts...

That sounds cool.

So what does everyone think of London Calling?

The city?
Never been, heard its nice.

 

[martha]

London calling can get expensive if you don't have an international plan.

 

[Hewson]

Maybe London Texting would be a wiser choice.

 

[martha]

After you pull off the road, maybe.

 

[bono_212]

I'd rather just use London wifi.

From the last thread:

Have you seen any of this season of Bellator?

No, but I've been watching Fellator, the new reality show about Lance's Mom.

That show sucks.

Is Sandinista is the best studio "triple-album"?

Other contenders include All Things Must Pass, Prince's Emancipation, and...I don't know.

 

[lazarus]

That show sucks.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Ultimate Felching Championship is a better organization imho

Think it's a night for some random music while I study Japanese for absolutely no classes I am in, but simply because I am a nerd.

Playing my mix station on Last.fm has led to the discovery of a few bands for me, let's see what it offers tonight

 

[bono_212]

Oh, by the way. Faine Jade's album: If you like the new MGMT album, or maybe stuff in the vein of Jefferson Airplane's folkier psych stuff, the album's a nice, fun little number. Certainly not essential, but these two songs were especially great:

First, the obvious:

FAINE JADE - INTROSPECTION / 1968 - YouTube

And then I really liked this one as well:

Faine Jade - I Lived Tomorrow .1968 - YouTube

Well, I'm sold. I'll buy twenty!


(Also, I understood like 1/3rd of that. Just enough to be horribly, horribly confused, but still understand the crux of the commercial)

So is this Arcade Fire concert special really airing after snl? My local tv listings don't show it...though it wouldn't be the first time they were wrong.

 

[bono_212]

Is that tonight?

 

[mikal]

Is that tonight?

Yeah. Snl starts in about 20 minutes. Looks like it's almost time to make some coffee.

 

[bono_212]

I don't think I'm going to watch, but stranger things have happened >_>

The listings in Seattle show it for 1 am our time.

Hey, Laz (and anyone else who might care, for that matter), I kept meaning to write up my thoughts on Riot Fest and I never got around to it, but "Ceremony" just came on and I meant to say something about seeing Peter Hook live. I don't know if your interested, since he fluctuates between playing a Joy Division set with a New Order set, but if you get the opportunity, I'd check it out, were I you. We saw him at 11:30 in the afternoon and he was already crazy loose, so I imagine his later shows are even more interesting. He seemed to be having a great time up there, his singing voice isn't bad and he just absolutely killed it on the bass....when he played it. That might have been my only complaint: Apparently he can't play bass and sing at the same time, but he had like, solo moments, every now and again. I don't think I've ever seen anyone windmill on the bass before.

Anyways, it was a really good time, except for at the end when he pulled his shirt off. Some men...should just realize that no one ever...ever needs to see that.

Nice! I'm as pumped to download a recording tomorrow morning.
