Random Music Talk XXVII: The Return of Knife Crime

[corianderstem]

Yeah, yeah. Was he cute? Did you break him off the math?

I'm not sure what that means, but I'm pretty sure the answer is 'no.'

GAFferiffic post.

Um .... oh. Oh, my goodness.

*backs away slowly*

April will find me in Salinas, and in July (late June as well), I head out to San Antonio and then I'll meet up with Steve for a few days on a friend's cattle ranch on the panhandle, southeast of Amarillo; after that we head to Taos for our anniversary. The way home will be through Mesa Verde, (hopefully) Monument Valley, and Grand Canyon. I've never been to the Canyon in summer.

Sounds great!

Have you decided when you're going to Ireland?

 

[If you shout...]

 

[corianderstem]

Have you decided when you're going to Ireland?

September. Likely the second half.

Now that it sounds pretty certain that there won't be a Dublin show, I can get to start making firmer plans. WHOOT.

 

[martha]

September. Likely the second half.

Nice.

I like ten solid (unpaid) weeks off every summer, but it would be nice to travel at off-season times.

 

[PhilsFan]

Yes, I was drunk. I fell asleep, though.

 

[Jive Turkey]

kinda reminds me of
YouTube - Peanuts Dance to "Linus & Lucy"

They should make a ytmnd link and incorporate all that

 

[Reggo]

I love GAFfer's drunken tirades.

Sometimes, this board is one of the greatest places on the Internet.

This is one of those times.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ooooh, sorry about that. Reading that back, I don't think the tongue in cheek aspect came through very well. My bad.

Anyway, what do you guys think about the Dixie Chicks?

 

[corianderstem]

Home is one of my favorite albums; it's just fantastic.

I liked Taking the Long Way as well, but it was a little too polished compared to the down-homey acoustic feel of Home.

Their first two albums are fine enough, with a couple of great singles, but they're a little too "mainstream" country for me to really love.

 

[cobl04]

I discovered through Ashley's di list that that huge single Landslide was a cover.

 

[lazarus]

The Dixie Chicks ain't the only ones who covered it:


YouTube - Smashing Pumpkins - Landslide

 

[corianderstem]

....... I feel very old right now.

 

[lazarus]

And speaking of the Pumpkins, I still can't believe this happened:

YouTube - Splashing Blumpkins - Play (Shuttlecock Cover)

 

[Reggo]

Friggin' Cobbler.

 

[iron yuppie]

In my humble opinion, the Pumpkins' cover of Landslide is the single best version of the song.

 

[lazarus]

Not humble enough.

those aren't their first two albums.



...is it wrong that i know that?

 

[corianderstem]

Weren't Fly and Wide Open Spaces their first two with Natalie Maines? I know they put out some stuff with their original singer, but does that count?

 

[u2popmofo]

Don't worry, GAF, I now hate just finding out that a show called Gilmore Girls apparently had a character with a name far too close to resembling a Cocteau Twins song title. Stupid WB poser tv show can't come up with an original name.

Spoiler

107.7 The End � First Listen: Justice – “Civilization” Full Song

I usually prefer the lyrics-free Justice songs, but I'm liking this (though it's not all that different from anything on the last album).

 

[bollox]

Once again that Seattle radio station gets another major premiere. Can anybody remember the last time radio was the first place they heard something new? (granted, most people will be listening to the stream, but still)

 

[Danny Boy]

So did Lorelai ever figure out that her father was the head vampire?

 

[LemonMelon]

In my humble opinion, the Pumpkins' cover of Landslide is the single best version of the song.

Disagree. Musically, it's almost identical, but listening to Billy Corgan sing (especially on ballads) is about as pleasant as watching him sing. I have no idea how the man became a rock star. Thank God for that kickass guitar tone of his.

Spoiler

I was never embarrassed to have seen 50+ episodes of that show, but it would increase the coolness factor had that been the source of Lorelai's name. Best song on Treasure.

 

[lazarus]

YAWN, I've seen all of the episodes.

Spoiler

I've also seen all the episodes of Dawson's and Roswell. What's wrong with me?

 

[u2popmofo]

I don't know if I've ever seen a single episode of a show on the WB, or whatever it's called now.

I did like this song / album a lot when it came out though. EDIT: Sheesh, 7 years ago? Feels like 3 or 4.

YouTube - The Coma's "Tonight on The WB"

"And now premiering on the WB, another crappy show that no one will see...I need a cigarette." /Simpsons

I really want to know what connections The End has, because most of the time they play a sort of generic alternative top-40 play list (Use Somebody herp derp). Not where I'd guess the Tron Daft Punk soundtrack or Justice would leak.

 

[u2popmofo]

They have Death Cab For Cutie's single premier today as well (check the thread for link).
