Fess up on what it is !!!

Other than what it obviously seems to be …

It made a noise with someone singing …

Does that mean it works ???

Now we’re getting somewhere!

Now we just need an iBroomstick to pound the e-walls until you kids cut out that racket.

And a cyber fist to shake to get you off our goddam compu-lawn.

Bah. When I was your age, we made music by banging two witches together. If it was good enough for John Chrysostom, by gum, it’s good enough for me!

Hell yeah. If you could just make it randomly insert the sound of an 8 track deck changing programs, then I would be right at home with it…

This version has stuff that didn’t make the final mix. It’s sometimes more interesting to hear a soloist’s second-rate playing and mistakes than to hear a polished performance: You can really tell what his instincts and limitations are when you hear him make wrong turns and try to recover, when you can see the familiar territory he’ll retreat to when he gets in trouble.

much like writers

television huh?
i see your television, and raise you a pere ubu.
what the hell, the lyres. there.

jullian, how do you tune two witches?

television huh?
i see your television, and raise you a pere ubu.
what the hell, the lyres. there.

I see your Lyres and Pere Ubu and raise you The Girls – ‘Jeffrey I Hear You.’

Muahaha.

uh oh, i may be in over my head..

flies? feelies?
willie loco alexander?

The Neighborhoods? The Freeze?

Apparently, Splashcast works in comments too. What a dangerous toy!

“They ran the tape, having Verlaine play straight through a number of times, and mixed the best parts into a single performance.”

As a veteran of several of these “battles”, I’d hate to burst anyone’s guitar hero bubble by telling you this is the norm. So I won’t.

What, no Gang of Four?

Pikers.

ooooohhh . . . excellent new toy . . . Thanks for the version of Marquee Moon.

um..(backing away, hands raised,)

fred schneider- helicopter
best song about acid. ever.

now, let’s just calm down..
don’t make me get all bud powell on yer ass..

gavin, that girls song is most righteous.
fuzzy goodness

Can you post Schneider’s Helicopter? If you have the MP3, you can throw it into Splashcast and just paste the code.

Bud Powell? MONK, BIZNICHEZ!!

This sounds excellent. Too bad I don’t recognize any of these. Just how old are you trying to make me feel today?

Bossy would follow that Le Garage tune into battle.

Here’s what I do, mrstrailerco. I check in off and on and at some point somebody will say something that is at least remotely familiar to me. But for now, I gotta go turn over the Pat Benatar record…

mikey

splashcasting my MP3 code would strain my computer skillz
i’ll try though..

“if this stuff gets any stronger, i won’t be able to leave the house..”

You guys are loosing it. Artitst?

Plus, server overload? Can’t comment…

Most of you guys are speaking a moonman language. I don’t follow music, so I’m sort of lost here. Oh well, I’m listening to music on that Splashcast thing. Interesting. Damn, I’m a young guy. I should know about this stuff.

Ah, the sweet essence of giraffe.

need to convert from acc to mp3.. eyes glazing over..

A lot of the songs are pretty old. I think the Skids song came out in ’79.

It’s a record that you’d expect the guys in Franz Ferdinand to have tucked away. The Skids later morphed into Big Country and had some hits.

The Business is fucking awesome!

Oh, nevermind.

Mikey, the garbled nature of it all is a feature, not a bug…I think. Precious few can follow all the inside jokes, I’d wager.

I certainly can’t.

But I’ll never foget that night in ’83 when I saw the Babies open for Scandal. Damn, what a show.

But just to make Gavin feel bad, I had a friend drag me to see Gary Wright at Winterland, it was right after he left spooky tooth, probably ’75. But here’s the thing. My friend didn’t care a hoot about Gary Wright (I did), he was going to see the opening act, whom I’d never heard of. I’ll never forget his performance that night, regardless of how wrecked we got. It was Rory Gallagher…

mikey

i’ll have to get back to you on helicopter.
it’d be easier to mail a friggin cd

ok, right over the plate…
the birthday party
bongwater
rockets from the tombs
and, fyi all, most of these are ancient history. you think you’re old?

i have a tape of bongwater at the channel
ann in that pink negligee
favorite line”they have nick cave dolls? i waaaan’t one!”

I’ll never forget his performance that night, regardless of how wrecked we got. It was Rory Gallagher…

Argh! I kneel in abjection — that guy could play the guitar. He’s not even one of those guitarist-guitarists whom only other guitarists like. He just had it…

What? No ‘Plastic Bertrand?’

ahh bongwater….
theres band i recognize – as well as television…

“shopping and sucking, shopping and sucking….” or is it fucking?

let’s try that again..

helicopter is somewhere in splashcast
posted by knapperige kikker

hugely, and what is it about chicken pussy?

Tenpole Tudor’s Swords of a Thousand Men

wow. i haven’t heard that song since like 80 or 81 – back when MTV used to show videos.

FYI, this worked for me in Camino under Mac OS 10.4.8…

Mikey, ain’t those the greatest surprises? Mine–’76, I think; 3,000 seat hall, Univ. of Iowa. The band I’d never heard of? Springsteen and E Street, “Thunder Road” tour. I still get shivers…

Without trying to be too anal. You said.

arrow-thing

I believe the correct term is “arrow-thingie”. Just a suggestion.

Lou Miami & The Kozmetics ?

Songs missing in action include: Wire’s Map Ref.

Wire is objectively one of the best bands ever.

Reuters, if you we are talking Wire.

Personal life highlight, right at the top where it will remain forever:

My friend shoots his movie “Love and a .45” and goes back to NYC to mix the music/record a soundtrack. he calls me, says “hey man back from Austin come by my place [on the bowery across the street from CB’s funny enough] i’ve got a guy playing some guitar and jamming out a soundtrack you should check it out.”

so off i go, wandering from whatever extraordinarly tiny shithole i was sharing with an inordinate amount of other bong smokers off to carty’s loft.

and there, sitting with a guitar and amp, is Tom Verlaine. who, upon noticing that a few people have gathered and are sitting there slack-jawed, proceeds to play whatever we ask for–soloes, riffs, songs, covers, everything. and leaves us after ripping out an arpeggiated version of the marquee moon solo.

i still get chills. they were also pretty spectacular at UCLA a few years ago, but that was just a show.

also, if we are being objective, or objectivist or whatever,

THE FALL. they are the best band of all time. by far. by very very far.

and tonight’s dance-around-with-the-kids playlist:
Tie Your Mother Down-Queen
Drug Raid at 4 AM-Lard (objectively the greatest punch line in punk history)
Street Hassle-Lou R
Aladdin Sane-DB (always need to bring them down a bit for bedtime, but that went poorly with this choice).

Because, like, everybody has Gang of Four records now

Really, that’s nice but if you like your marxism straight and undiluted with any commercial consideration (or much musical consideration for that matter) nothing beats the Pop Group.

Wow. The best I can do is an X show in 1984. Billy Zoom had two poses: Left foot forward cool pose with a big grin, and right foot forward cool pose with a big grin. He just kept shifting from one to the other. I think that might be meta but I am not sure…

Is Wide Boy Awake the band that did Chicken Outlaw? Stupid song but catchy as heck.
