Random Music Talk XCIII: IN-VIII-SI-COCK!

[iron yuppie]

I mean it's not waiting all day for a U2 video, but it has been a rough couple of weeks.

Also, glad you're alright.

 

[u2popmofo]

Pfffft. Have I gone anywhere but work, dinner, or bed? No.

Sounds like we live similar lives.

Similar note: I was thinking earlier today, I haven't been to an actual "record store" in over a year.

 

[Dalton]

Thanks all. It is great news, but we're still not sure what's going on so if we don't have a break in the next few weeks my invisicock is going to have it's Feb 11 moment.

 

[bono_212]

Anyone in L.A. want to possibly see U2 in two weeks?

Oscar Week: OSCAR CONCERT | Events Presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

 

[lazarus]

Performing that song?


Nope.

 

[corianderstem]

Laz, is that you?

 

[mikal]

In thinking about creating an alter here named Larry'sLover.

Thoughts?

Sent from my Nexus 5 using U2 Interference mobile app

 

[lazarus]

Laz, is that you?

No but strangely enough I think I know that guy.

 

[lazarus]

What time mark in the video is that, btw?

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I saw that guy and thought it was Laz too.

I wanted to mention, I pulled this post up in a meeting (a very NSW move, to be clear) and had to stifle a laugh at the exact same line you flagged.

Let's be honest. NSW probably wrote that during a meeting.

 

[gvox]

There are even less relevant bands you could be a fan of. Imagine sitting around all day waiting for a shred of Tony Toni Tone tour news.

Lol


Ps +1 on the Laz sighting

I did.

 

[phanan]

Why would they call it an "edit" then? No point to that.

Also, U2 songs tend to have a third chorus. Can't imagine they wouldn't here, especially considering how good it is.

Because it would still be editing the ending of the song before the segue began.

But I certainly hope I'm wrong.

 

[powerhour24]

I love how blasé everyone has to be, it's a pretty rad look for a performance video and something we might not have seen indefinitely were it not for this random release strategy, take what you can get, it's probably U2's best video this side of Electrical Storm (not that that says a whole lot, and for the record pretty much all their videos from Stay-ES are forgettable with the exception of Discotheque which isn't remembered for positive reasons haha). Though it does strike oddly as Romanek remembering doing Coldplay's "Speed of Sound" and saying let's do that but better, oh and angle the screen instead of curving it.

I do wish they had done live audio like the COBL video though, particularly because the sync here is kind of wonky.

 

[PhilsFan]

[lazarus]

I thought it was common knowledge now that I have a beard?

 

[PhilsFan]

I did.

 

[cobl04]

My beard was at its biggest ever on Sunday morning, but I was meeting a girl later that arvo and decided to shave it. Turns out she loves beards. I figure I will not contact her for six weeks, til my beard is back at its majestic best.

 

[u2popmofo]

later that arvo

I'm going to carvo your eyes out for saying bad things about The Knife.

 

[powerhour24]

Yeah, tell me 'arvo' isn't a thing.

 

[lazarus]

I can't with the arvo, guys.

 

[No spoken words]

I'm telling you, I speak to some of our Australian partners 3-4x a year and each conversation is more baffling than the one before it. I had an easier time in Germany.

SCUBA once had an interesting journey to Perth…..

 

[cobl04]

I've said arvo a million times, how is it new?

And Trevo, sorry, but this bloke reckons Shaking the Habitual was a dog's brekky.

SCUBA once had an interesting journey to Perth…..

Are you in a position to divulge anything about it?

 

[PhilsFan]

The only Australian I've ever met in person was fucking named Juzzy. What kind of shit is that?

 

[cobl04]

I know a few Juz's. Haven't used Juzzy much in recent years, it's too long.

 

[u2popmofo]

Trevo

My sister has been calling me this for the last year or two for some reason.

On the subject of Australia, and drawing back upon my obsession with listening to songs with "month" titles at the appropriate times, I have to say that this is likely one of my most listened to / liked songs under 1 minute:
Architecture In Helsinki - One Heavy February - YouTube

 

[cobl04]

I really need to get their debut. In Case We Die and Places Like This are both excellent. That's a nice song.

Such a shame they made their sound more generic.

 

[powerhour24]

It may be myopic bias but I swear the average American/Canadian doesn't use anywhere near the amount of slang people in every other English-speaking country do.

 

[cobl04]

Which is what helps make us a superior nation.

 

[powerhour24]

Preventing people from understanding you? Good luck with that. English may be the lingua franca in the world, but only as a second language to most people, therefore only a prestige version of it will be understandable to the majority of people trying to interact with native English speakers.

But for the record, I know you're kidding.
