Interference Random Music Talk Phase X: In which THE COFF! gets her oats

[phillyfan26]

Speaking of the Irish, how bout Shuttlecock?

See what I did there?

BECAUSE THEY'RE FROM lRELAND!

 

[phillyfan26]

I only got as far as you and I'm 18 and have only been to three concerts ever.

Did you guys do this on headphones or just computer speakers?

 

[lazarus]

I just used my computer speakers.

 

[Imperor]

Did it on both. Same result.

 

[phillyfan26]

Hmm. So, I have the hearing of someone in their mid-30s.

 

[lazarus]

Expect me to be right there with you. Although those earplugs the article featured look pretty spiffy...

For $72 bucks?? Fuck that, I don't value my hearing that much.

...30 years later...

 

[Imperor]

Resisting Lance's Mom joke about that photo...

In any case, the $72 was the headphones. These are the plugs.

 

[lazarus]

For $12?? Fuck that, I'm not spending that much on earplugs.

 

[LMP]

Yeah. It was a jarring listen because of how normal Waits sounds on it, but it's a really beautiful album.

Ol' 55 is one of my favs.

How many of his albums have you heard? I know we had an appreciation thread here at some point.

Oh hell yes. Have you heard the version of "Closing Time" with Allen Ginsburg reading America over it?

Closing Time and Rain Dogs in full and some assorted tracks in-between.

Well, no one's like Lou Holtz. He has pictures of someone, I swear. He's the worst analyst I can think of, ever. Literally.

His lisp never fails to crack me up. His name is perfect for one, too.

Final Jesus Lizard show announced! New Year's Eve, at The Metro! Last show ever! Tix on Saturday! CANNOT FUCKING WAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Waterloo is having another 20% off URRRVERYTHING sale.

Goodbye, money.

 

[lazarus]

Oh hell yes. Have you heard the version of "Closing Time" with Allen Ginsburg reading America over it?

This can't possibly be better than Shuttlecock's musical accompaniment to Ginsburg on Spunk Thicken, or Ginsburg's reading of Boner's lyrics to My Racket.

Yeah, I couldn't really make a list of specific Waits songs. But I love Rain Dogs, Foreign Affair, Alice, and Nighthawks at the Diner. I'm still making my way through the others, inc. Swordfishtrombones and Frank's Wild Years. I kind of got a lot of them at once and am trying to process slowly.

I think Sister Ray may have made it onto my overrated list. Really, how many times do I need to listen to him carrying on about someone sucking on his ding-dong?

Best Velvets song EVAR. Evar, I tell you.

 

[Imperor]

Well we all know songs about fellatio weren't really perfected until the rise of Nickelback, Marther.

mmm, no.

 

[lazarus]

Cockrobat FTW.

Also, I have a bootleg somewhere with New Order covering Sister Ray. Sweet.

If I were a Christian woman, I'd be on my knees (see what I did there?) thanking God I have no idea what you're talking about.

I think it was Joy Division? Or, at any rate, Joy Division also covered the song on at least one very well-circulated bootleg recording.

 

[Imperor]

Wait a second. So there's a new game called Band Hero which is essentially the exact same thing as Guitar Hero, except you can play as Taylor Swift? Is that what the commercial I just saw is trying to say? Has GAF had his inevitable heart attack yet?

 

[martha]

you can play as Taylor Swift?

That's who that was.

 

[lazarus]

No. It's a New Order. Some BBC thing with a blue cover. I think it's an official import, so I probably shouldn't have called it a bootleg.

I'd advise GAF not to play in the Risky Business tighty-whities, or things could get messy.

YouTube - America, Ginsberg

Ginsberg recited "Miami?" I need to find this.

Yeah, I couldn't really make a list of specific Waits songs. But I love Rain Dogs, Foreign Affair, Alice, and Nighthawks at the Diner. I'm still making my way through the others, inc. Swordfishtrombones and Frank's Wild Years. I kind of got a lot of them at once and am trying to process slowly.

I'll have to do that at some point after I go through those Lou Reed albums.

 

[lazarus]

YouTube - Allen Ginsberg recites the lyrics to the backing track of Shuttlecock's song My Racket

 

[LMP]

That would've been great if it was the actual backing track instead of just the song playing in the background.

 

[lazarus]

You'd think that would be enough for eternal hipster cred, but apparently not.

I'd love to see this as a bonus track on a Poppycock reissue with Ginsburg replacing Boner's voice.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

fyi, it's this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radio_1_Live_in_Concert_(New_Order_album)

 

[Imperor]

Harry Muffin doesn't look to have aged well in 12 years. And Ginsburg looked like Leslie Cochran there.

 

[lazarus]

P-Fork gave Julian Casablancas a 5.5. Good. Never liked that little rich kid poseur.
