Murmuring Beast Posted June 10, 2005 Report Posted June 10, 2005 I went to see Ambulance Ltd in a bar in Glasgow last night and they were really good. I think I'll buy the album.
King Kamala Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 I'm going to Weezer, weirdly enough for me, it's the only show where they're playing with no announced opening act. They'll probably just have a shit local band play on the big stage.
Guest Derek Bailey Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 King Tuts doesn't count as a bar venue, cheater. I saw Vetiver in the hilariously styled Grand Ole Opry in Glasgow last night. Devendra Banhart is a very strange person.

King Kamala Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 I just found out, who is opening for Weezer when I see them in July, an indy band named Spoon. Anybody know anything about this band?
Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 They have some great songs ("Everything Hits At Once" especially) but I've never really gotten into them too much. I haven't heard Gimme Fiction, their latest album.
Guest Derek Bailey Posted June 11, 2005 Report Posted June 11, 2005 On the vague subject, what exactly is the deal with the new Weezer stuff? I've only heard the first single and "We Are All on Drugs", and the only way I can explain their existence is as being some kind of in-joke or a bizarre satire or something or another.
King Kamala Posted June 12, 2005 Report Posted June 12, 2005 Yeah, I don't like their new stuff much either. But I've read some of their older set lists and it comprises of a lot of stuff from Blue Album and Pinkerton.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted June 12, 2005 Report Posted June 12, 2005 They were very fun when I saw them on the tour to support Maladroit. They used a computer program to generate the setlists each night; it was designed to make a set that was 2/3 Pinkerton and Blue Album, and 1/3 Maladroit and Green Album. Still, the show was only about 80 minutes. I have no idea what they're doing now. And, Fooster: it's just really bad. Simple as that.
PLAGIARISM! Posted June 12, 2005 Report Posted June 12, 2005 I thought Weezer swore off Pinkerton altogether for some reason. Oh God, 'Dare' is on pretty much every recent Wedding Present setlist I've found. I can't fucking wait for Leeds fest.
King Kamala Posted June 12, 2005 Report Posted June 12, 2005 Tired Of Sex In The Garage Pardon Me Buddy Holly Photograph Hold Me Getchoo Say It Ain't So We Are All On Drugs Island In The Sun My Name Is Jonas Peace Slob Beverly Hills The Good Life Undone - The Sweater Song --- Haunt You Every Day Hash Pipe There's a recent set list, lots of stuff off the new album, barely anything off of Maldaroit, a few of the Green album and the rest is stuff from Blue/Pinkerton. If they a setlist like this it'll be worth the $35 I paid for tickets.
Skywarp! Posted June 12, 2005 Report Posted June 12, 2005 The excellent tracks on "Make Believe:" This is Such a Pity Freak Me Out Haunt You Everyday The good tracks on "Make Believe:" Pardon Me The Other Way The "Eh" Tracks: Beverly Hills Perfect Situation Hold Me We Are All on Drugs The Damage in Your Heart The awful tracks: Peace Best Friend They should have built the album around the vibe of Freak Me Out and Haunt You Everyday. Then it would have been an 8.0 album, instead of a 5.0 one.
Hank Kingsley Posted June 13, 2005 Report Posted June 13, 2005 Snow Patrol (Final Straw, at least) far exceeded my expectations. I'm digging this CD.
Red Baron Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 Bad Company is playing at my hometown summer festival this year. Its an improvement from last year which was Trooper and Glass Tiger playing.
B. Brian Brunzell Posted June 14, 2005 Report Posted June 14, 2005 Bad Company is playing at my hometown summer festival this year. Its an improvement from last year which was Trooper and Glass Tiger playing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I so would have marked out for "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone."
snuffbox Posted June 15, 2005 Report Posted June 15, 2005 That's disappointing. I like the newer material and all, but only four songs before Moon? They've got such a wide catalogue that they could put on a great show where they really spread out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree. Ive seen them 5 times in the last several months and theyve only played a few older tunes. The setlists are always different and the shows always huge fun but Id still like some Cowboy Dan or something in there.

Carnival Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 New twiztid SONG and VIDEO is out called "The story of our lives". I don't like the chorus, but the rapping is alright. The video is just strange.
The Czech Republic Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Oh that's funny, I thought this was the music folder.
DCMaximo Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Despite being full of late-90's pop culture references (lyrics about Sunset Beach, Coal Chamber etc), the Urusei Yatsura album "Slain By Urusei Yatsura" has aged fantastically well and has become maybe my most played album in the last fortnight. The start of "Strategic Hamlets" is enough to make me want to dance like a twat.
Guest BrokenWings Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 I haven't watched the video yet, but I heard the song. Madrox raps pretty quickly on the last verse. Pretty standard Twiztid stuff, though. Carnival, have you heard Monoxide's solo album Chain Smoker? I keep meaning to look into it, but forget.
Carnival Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Carnival, have you heard Monoxide's solo album Chain Smoker? I keep meaning to look into it, but forget. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have and it's pretty damn good. I really enjoyed it. Of course it has a few just wack songs on it. But others are really good. I suggest a DL of it. If you can't find it, i can send it to ya, no problem. Mono is a pretty f'n good rapper. Only Violent J does it better in terms of white boys, who aren't eminem.
Guest BrokenWings Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 Monoxide's always been the better of the two, but Madrox holds down his half well enough. Rap's not my forte, but I imagine there are better white rappers out there than Violent J, who, while he does have his moments, isn't even close to the level of Eminem. Hell, I think song-for-song, Monoxide's better than J.
Carnival Posted June 16, 2005 Report Posted June 16, 2005 There is a big drop after eminem....then Violent J. J has gotten 50x better than he used to be. And he used to be passable. DL "Burning Up" off the Hell's Pit album. It's all J and it's all amazing. Guys that could be better than violent J. or are close to his level. Slug, Monoxide, Madrox, Cage, Ill Bill, Necro, Lil Whyte, Copywrite, probably some more that i can't think of at the moment.
Skywarp! Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 I wish the Toadies had more than 2 studio LPs before calling it quits.
King Kamala Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Weezer replaced Spoon with another band I've never heard of called the Fray. I checked a video of theirs on their website, they described themselves as a mix between Coldplay and Lifehouse. I was hoping that description was wrong....it wasn't. Ah well, Weezer is going to kick ass.
Guest Derek Bailey Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 I've seen Modest Mouse three times, once shortly before the release of Good News... and twice after. The first two times the sets were about 50/50 Good News / older songs, but the third time was almost entirely Good News stuff. I find it strange that they're still playing so much of Good News live, since the third time I saw them Isaac was clearly pissed off by the very "mainstream indie show" audience, and in the brief chat I had with him he made it very clear that he was resentful of a lot of the new fans who would "be back listening to Usher again a year from now" (or something similar).
snuffbox Posted June 17, 2005 Report Posted June 17, 2005 Perhaps Isaac should, I dont know, play the old shit then...sinve the audience will be gone in a year anyway.
