Random Music Thread LXXII: National Lampoon's Bogan Vacation

[IWasBored]

Hey IWB,

I listened to the latest Glasvegas album today, EUPHORIC /// HEARTBREAK \\\, and I really, really, really liked it. Really emotive, has some gorgeous but heavy sounds. Thumbs up all around.

Yeah, I listened to it a second time after the Christmas album, and changed my mind about its utter dullness. It isnt bad at all. Still doesn't come close to how much I like the first one, though.

 

[IWasBored]

Exactly how I feel about it.

Were there other pop songs back then where the singer was screaming with such intensity?

Not that I know of.

 

[martha]

You what I like? David Bowie: Live at Santa Monica '72.


I also like that old man dancing to Led Zep.

212ers cure survivor got me to finally get around to hearing actual cure albums rather than the handful of about five songs I knew. I still like those songs better.

 

[the tourist]

I'm going to spend today listening to early Black Keys and White Stripes albums. It's going to be a good day for guitar tone!

 

[bono_212]

You what I like?

I what you like.

I'll give them another try (I really only made it through disintegration and three imaginary boys--not much at all, I know. But it's not like a pulled a total cobbler and started at 4:13 dream or anything). It's the fucking cure. I probably just wasn't really feeling it that particular day. I still love plainsong and a forest, at any rate.

 

[lazarus]

Well, my day is officially ruined:


Los Campesinos! ? Blog Archive ? Ellen: It’s Been An Awfully Big Adventure

 

[bono_212]

What the fuck? Is Gareth just a complete scum-bag or something?

 

[LemonMelon]

Yes.

 

[Imperor]

Lame. Really lame.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Wow, um...I really have no excuse for that one.

I meant Station to Station.

ashes to ashes, station to station, we know that ashley's umm...something.

i still don't like that many cure songs. i've tried, i've downloaded a buttload of their albums and given them a listen. and i certainly hear a fair share of their songs on the radio. there's only a whopping three i like.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm pretty good, now that I'm 239,000 miles from The Cure.

 

[No spoken words]

Yeah everyone's gotta have the sickness. Cause everyone seems to need the cuuuuuuuuure.

 

[PhilsFan]

Really hurtin'. Feel like I drank a thousand beers and quit Los Campesinos! last night, you guys.

I heard a Glasvegas album when it first came out. I can't remember what it was called, started with a G I think. Anyway, it was pleasant but unmemorable and kind of sucked in a way. I can't remember which way. I don't care about Glasvegas.

I have on of their albums. I kept me entertained for a couple of months. Never bothered to check out anything else by them though.

 

[bono_212]

Beav, weren't you crazy Glasvegas guy?

 

[the tourist]

I liked their debut quite a bit. In fact, I think I'll listen to that in a bit.

 

[lazarus]

Why is it always assumed that Gareth is behind it? As he writes all the lyrics and Tom does pretty much all the music, it's not hard to imagine someone creative not feeling fulfilled in that department long-term. And it's not like they're making a lot of money, esp. split between 7-8 people plus tech guys.

Anyway, they have to get another girl, right? Can't leave Kim hangin' like that.

 

[No spoken words]

.....and now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to unwrap my Celebration Day Blu Ray and enjoy some Led Zeppelin......

I saw this in the theater, it was awesome. I really need to buy it.

It was awesome, for the record. I cannot claim to love every song they performed but overall I really liked it. Some of the songs sounded way better than they had any right to sound, at least to me. Also, really glad that it's Bonham's kid behind the drums....the way the concert ended, with him bashing away at the conclusion of "Rock and Roll" as the other three all look at him with wry smiles was actually kind of touching to me. But I'm a sap.

Anyway, great great stuff.

There's a Los Camp! thread somewhere on this site, right?

 

[lazarus]

Yeah when the LC! talk goes on for over a page then we'll talk.

 

[No spoken words]

Well here's hoping it ends right about now the funk soul brother.

 

[PhilsFan]

Calm yourself, Lazuli.

I wouldn't mind rockin' my feller in that skank.



Wait, we're not in Hottest Chica, are we?

 

[lazarus]

Calm yourself, Lazuli.

Now that's how it's done.

Spoiler

BOOM.

 

[UberBeaver]

Beav, weren't you crazy Glasvegas guy?

I liked their debut, I think it was, yeah. Saw them in concert with Kings of Leon (who I really don't like) and sort fizzed out on them after a while. Time is always the biggest test of bands for me. I don't think they've helped up that well, but we shall see. Ask again in 5 years.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ha, Pitchfork reviewed the Aloud's new greatest hits album.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

The fuckers gave it a 7.0

Fuckin bullshit

Where the fuck is everybody?
