  3. a bunch of bands

    in Get the Word Out

    Posted

    Algernon Cadwallader "horror"

    Cap'n Jazz "take on me"

    photo atlas

    and hot iqs

    I could only find live Cap'n Jazz and Algernon, so the sound quality is low

    I recommend going to the myspace.

    But if one must be an internet elitist

    well, no new tunes fo' you.

  5. Yoko Ono Wants John Lennon's Killer To Stay In Jail

    Sirhan Sirhan probably didn't kill RFK

    It was big news for like.... 12 hours

    Real forensics and just practical thinking went into it.

    It's not speculation like the JFK stuff

    An audio recording records more shots being fired than sirhan sirhan's clip contained.

    and the wound doesn't match up with the distance Sirhan Sirhan was

    The wound does match where a secret service guy was tho

    a guy who currently lives outside the country.

    I dunno

    It could be conspiratorial bs

    but on the other hand

    the fact it was removed from the news so quickly

    without being rebutted

    makes me believe otherwise

    Here is a bunch of music no one will like

    A buddy recently turned me on to what I will call 'Good Emo'

    It's emo/hardcore without mindless screaming or corporate money grubbing

    it has super bouncy/slidey mellow guitars

    and pretty decent vocals.

    My Fave of those bands was

    Algernon Cadwallader

    http://www.myspace.com/algernoncadwallader

    my fave song of there's is called 'horror' but it isn't on that page. Oh well, most of their stuff is pretty good

    Then here's Cap'n Jazz

    a really influential band from the early nineties

    they do a badass cover of 'take on me' that actually made me like take on me.

    http://www.myspace.com/capnjazz1

    Now here are a couple colorado bands that are pretty good.

    This is the Photo Atlas

    they're from denver

    they do indy-emodancepop

    it's fun

    they're really awesome live.

    They've managed to make a pretty good name for themselves

    http://www.myspace.com/danceatlasdance

    Then there's the Hot IQs, probably my fave CO band

    The guy sings with a Interpol-ish baritone

    and has some pretty great lyrics

    'specially for a band no ones heard of

  8. The Best Song Lyrics Ever Written

    and some more

    Grounded

    Doctor's leaving for the holiday season

    got crystal ice picks, no gift for the gab

    and in the parking lot is a sedan he bought

    he never, he never complains when it's hot

    he phoned the foreign daughter in a sauna playing contract bridge

    they're soaking up the fauna, doing blotters

    I don't know which...which...which...

    boys are dying on these streets

    I know the medical world could knock you out

    to sell the coins that you jayed last Thursday

    dine by candelight and hold your savings tight

    you never, you never know when the bridge falls apart

    we spoke of latent causes, sterile gauzes

    and the bedside morale

    we traipse around the table talking sentences

    so incomplete... please! plea!

    boys are dying on these streets

    Gold Soundz

    go back to those gold soundz

    and keep my advent to your self

    because it's nothing i don't like

    is it a crisis or a boring change?

    when it's central, so essential,

    it has a nice ring when you laugh

    at the low life opinions

    and they're coming to the chorus now...

    i keep my address to yourself 'cause we need secrets

    we need secrets crets crets crets crets crets back right now

    because i never wanna make you feel

    that you're social

    never ignorant soul

    believe in what you wanna do

    and do you think that is a major flaw

    when they rise up in the falling rain

    and if you stay around with your knuckles ground down

    the trial's over, weapon's found

    keep my address to myself because it's secret

    cuz it's secret cret cret cret [etc.]... back right now

    so drunk in the august sun

    and you're the kind of girl i like

    because you're empty and i'm empty

    and you can never quarantine the past

    did you remember in december

    that i won''t eat you when i'm gone

    and if i go there, i won't stay there

    because i'm sitting here too long

    i've been sitting here too long

    and i've been wasted

    advocating that word for the last word

    last words come up all you've got to waste

    and the best country song ever

    Range Life

    after the glow, the scene, the stage, the set

    talk becomes slow but there's one thing i'll never forget:

    hey, you gotta pay your dues before you pay the rent.

    over the turnstile turn out in the traffic

    there's ways of living it's the way i'm living

    right or wrong, it's all that i can do,

    and i wouldn't want to let you be

    i want a range life, if i could settle down,

    if i could settle down, then i would settle down

    [x2]

    run from the pigs, the fuzz, the cops, the heat

    pass me your gloves, there's crime and it's never complete

    until you snort it up or shoot it down

    you're never gonna feel free

    out on my skateboard the night is just hummin'

    and the gum smacks are the pulse i'll follow if my walkman fades

    but i've got absolutely no one, no one but myself to blame

    don't worry- we're in no hurry

    school's out, what did you expect?

    i want a range life, if i could settle down,

    if i could settle down, then i would settle down

    [x2]

    out on tour with the smashing pumpkins

    nature kids, i/they don't have no function

    i don't understand what they mean

    and i could really give a (bleep).

    the stone temple pilots,

    they're elegant bachelors

    they're foxy to me are they foxy to you?

    i will agree they deserve absolutely nothing

    nothing more than me

    dreamin' dream dream dream....

    In the Mouth of A Desert

    Pavement

    can you treat it like an oil well

    when it's underground, out of sight?

    and if the sight is just a whore sign

    can it make enough sense to me?

    pretend the table is a trust knot

    we'll put our labels down, favors down

    i'll watch some yards of twine unravel

    and you'll never get it back

    it's what i want (it's what i want)

    it's what i want (twine comes down)

    it's what i want (it's what i want)

    don't you know, i could make you try

    make you try [3x]

    i've been crowned the king of it, and it is all we have

    so wait to hear my words and they're diamond sharp

    i can open it up and it's up and down

    it's what i want (it's what i want)

    to see you beg like a little dog (ball of twine)

    don't you know that it's what i want (it's what i want)

    i'll see you beg and it makes you dry

    makes you dry [3x]

    i've been down, the king of it, it is all we have

    i've been down and i could wait to hear the words

    they're diamond sharp today

  13. Sonic Youth

    in Questions and Answers

    Posted · Edited by Guest

    He's a great guitarist because of his intricate tunings and chord structures

    and he plays with melody and harmony

    rather than playing scale after scale to form a 'solo'

    edit- so it's not quite something you can witness in a youtube video, but by grabbing some SY albums and listening to them, overandoverandoverandover

  14. Sonic Youth

    in Questions and Answers

    Like BF said, Sonic Youth is the single most influential band in the modern era.

    Formed in 79(or 80) depending on your source, they stared right a the end of the punk wave, and took every influence from yesterday and turned it into something new, fusing John Cage with Johnny Ramone.

    Excellent band.

    excellent excellentexcellent band

    As a sidenote, Sonic Youth jumpstarted Nirvana's career, by inviting them to open on a series of shows for them. and continued to mentor Nirvana to the end.

    also, they did the same for Pavement, which if you're into pavement, is pretty rad.

    And Thurston Moore=GeniusXabazillion.

    Probably my fave guitarist of all time, he's not always playing the pretty notes, but he's playing 'em well.

    To add to the list of things they might play, Probably a couple of their newest disc 'Rather Ripped' which is quite excellent- I'm almost 100% 'incinerate' will be played, and possibly 'do you believe in rapture' and maybe (slim) 'Reena'

    Then look for 'Unmade Bed' from Sonic Nurse

    and 'Schizophrenia' a great tune that they like to bust out live.

    but it's hard to predict what SY will play, because that band has written 100s of hours of music.

  16. PREPARE YOUR EARS FOR A SONIC TSUNAMI

    We're actually planning on a last.fm dealy-o the day we stared recording they announced they were gonna pay unsigned acts royalties

    .05 cents yes!!!!!!!!!!!

    but we're using myspace as a launch point, cuz it's real trendy and easy to use it to prostitute yourself out.

    I've never heard of mog, I'll have to check it out.

    Yeah totally DIY

    and all we had for the instruments and vocals was one mic, a kind of general condenser guy- and if you guys know anything about recording, you know the studios use like 500 different kinds of microphones

    and we had a generic low end drum mic kit, and that worked prety well.

    yeah, we are pretty happy with how the recording is going.
