Wow, when did David Letterman turn into Abe Simpson?
Nice performance by Mr. Mould."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all." -
Yeah, Dave is getting really old.Originally posted by senorsheep View Post
Mr. Mould was so on last night. They did Copper Blue in it's entirety and what I liked is they got on stage and went right into the first song and didn't say a damn word until they had played the whole album.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

That's how the Old 97s did 'Too Far to Care'.Originally posted by BuckyBuckner View PostIf DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Heh. So I was playing poker last night in my bar poker league, and somebody played this piece of crap on the jukebox:Originally posted by DMT View Post
(Listen to it all the way through, I dare you)
Somebody plays it every week. It makes my skin crawl. So I popped on my headphones to drown it out, and the pickup-truck-full of sh!tty, brain-dead, jingoistic, redneck pop country drivel that was sure to follow.
The dude next to me says "Don't you like country music?"
"No, I'm not a fan."
"Well, what are you listening to?"
"The Old 97's." It just so happened that the song playing in my random shuffle was Salome:
"What's that? Can I hear it?"
You can see where this was going. I let him put on my headphones. And then tried (and failed) for the next 15 minutes to explain the difference between The Old 97's and that horrible Chicken Fried song on the jukebox. And very delicately, so as not to offend him or any other country music fans at the table, because, believe it or not, I am impeccably polite in real life.
It was brutal exercise in futility. And a good reminder to pretend that I can't hear people once I pop the headphones on.

That's really funny. Rhett Miller claims they are not a country band and never were., which I don't buy. Wreck Your Life and especially Hitchhike to Rhome are very country.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Saw Metric tonight..great show..high energy dance rock!! Unfortunately they finished the night with an acoustic version of "Gimme Sympathy"..while it was still good..that song needs to ROCK!!!!!!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

I almost booked a trip to London to see them in the summer (any excuse for holiday) ... I should have done ... got into them after seeing them at a festival years ago, but never seen them live since I became a fan. Old World Underground is one of my favourite records of the oughties.Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostComment

I only knew two songs going in..i went with my step-daughter. but really enjoyed the show. What i really liked was that they extended some songs with dance/jam sessions in the middle.Originally posted by johnnya24 View Post"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment

My favorite Metric song, with one of my favourite lyrics:Originally posted by Mithrandir View Post
"Every ten year-old enemy soldier
Thinks falling bombs are shooting stars sometimes
But she doesn’t make wishes on them
When she wishes, she wishes for less ways to wish for
More ways to work toward it
Ten year-old enemy soldier
Our falling bombs are her shooting stars"
It's sad when you think about the turbulent political times we have lived through lately, and then see such complete apathy among popular artists to these events. Only a few newer bands even tried to tackle the war or the political and ethical fallout ... Metric, Muse ... and then some more established bands like REM, Pearl Jam, Radiohead. Sign of the times I suppose.

Video is pretty cool. Song is all over the place. The first guitar solo doesn't fit in with the song up until that point. I like the faster vocal part after the solo.
If you like headbanging you like this. It has a very limited appeal to me because i don't really care for the vocals."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."Comment
