Random Music Talk LXVII: All the First-World Problems You Can Handle

[Moonlit_Angel]

even have a soft spot for Sexy and I Know It.

I've mentioned before that I don't mind that song, either. Yeah, no denying it's stupid, but that's the point, and it amuses me. Plus, it's tied to an inside joke with friends, so there's that, too.

I don't have the songs on my iPod and never seek them out on youtube or whatever, but I get down when they're played at a party or something.

Same.

Anywho, eh, kinda surprising, but really, how much further could they go with their schtick?

 

[IWasBored]

This shit finally has an album cover and release date. I'm not going to lie about how excited I am, what's the point? Tuesday, September 25th is going to be a day that goes down in history in my own personal life:


[*]World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria

I am disappoint.

 

[bono_212]

I am disappoint.

I haven't played WoW in like 2 years, but the concept of Panda ninjas legitimately being an expansion is too much to pass up.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Dr Luke is producing on the new Kesha album.

?

He's produced/co-wrote practically everything she's recorded.

 

[cobl04]

I didn't know that. I posted it cos we used to joke about him.

 

[Hewson]

Just an FYI:A well connected friend just sent me a early version of one of the songs on U2's new album. On it, Bono uses Battlestar Galactica as an allegory to explain who will win the current US elections.

Old school Lorne Greene Battlestar Galactica or new female Starbuck Battlestar Galactica?

 

[iron yuppie]

People are queuing around the block at this Verizon store more than three hours before it opens. I assume this is for an iPhone release. Seems a bit excessive to me.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Spoon fans, is the Divine Fits album any good?

 

[Imperor]

Yes.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Yes.

Thank you for that in-depth analysis Is it still Spoon-like?

 

[u2popmofo]

Thank you for that in-depth analysis Is it still Spoon-like?

Sorta. I'd say it's more later period Wolf Parade / Sunset Rubdown like, but with Britt Daniels singing (sometimes).

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Interesting, after the epic disappointment of Transference I may give this a try...

 

[u2popmofo]

Just remember, it's a collaboration with people who also come from popular groups, so they're singing as often as he is (or more often).

 

[Reggo]

Nighthawks At The Diner. Sorry, Alice, Bad As Me and Mule Variations, I have a new favorite Tom Waits album.

 

[iron yuppie]

Nighthawks At The Diner.

I have had this for a while, but have not yet listened to it. I need to rectify that.

Did you manage to see Beach House last night, Impy?

Just stopped for breakfast. Looks like only a dozen or so people in line at the AT&T store across the street, but I'm in bumfuck suburbia.

 

[bono_212]

Jesus, I'd never done a ticket pre-sale before. Fuck that shit.

 

[u2popmofo]

It was good of you to edit "butt" to "bum", DB. Keepin' it clean.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Jesus, I'd never done a ticket pre-sale before. Fuck that shit.

Not even for the 2?

 

[bono_212]

Oh I'll do it again. That was more post-insanity hyperbole than anything else. It's definitely worth it, having multiple chances.

What sucks is, if I'd done a bit more research, I could have had three chances, and now instead have a useless Killers fanclub membership.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

a useless Killers fanclub membership.

That phrase sounds a little redundant

 

[bono_212]

That phrase sounds a little redundant

Har Har.

Complete with my useless membership is my equally useless MP3 download of the album I received from buying the tickets. Considering that I dropped $90 on the deluxe edition bundle of the album to get the damn membership.

 

[Danny Boy]

I can't take the credit...

[Imperor]

Did you manage to see Beach House last night, Impy?

No, it didn't work out, but I'm at least over the being bummed phase. They'll come around again.

 

[lazarus]

It was good of you to edit "butt" to "bummed", Impy. Keepin' it clean.

Hmm.

 

[LemonMelon]

After The Gold Rush is so good it instantly makes me want to sit down with my guitar and write the best song ever.

Which I can't do, because I'm not Neil Young.

 

[the tourist]

I was in a band for a month called After The Gold Rush. The singer/songwriter is a huge fan of Neil Young.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm really digging this song. The whole album is really good, too. I think I'll buy it!

shit, the link is breaking the thread. I can't remember what to change to make it not break the thread. I swear, I copy/paste URLs from Youtube all the time and don't have this issue.

Anyway, the band is First Aid Kit and the song is "Emmylou."

 

[LemonMelon]

Good tune. Not even my favorite on the record, actually. I watched them at Lolla for about 20 minutes and they sounded surprisingly energetic. Really enjoyed it.

 

[nielsgov]

Nice album, but nothing too special. They both have beautiful voices.
