bmags Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 06:28 PM) I was just thinking about Weezer's Pinkerton album. Because I was listening to it on the way to work today. It kind of reminds me of PetSounds/Smile stuff in a way. Because it was Rivers really opening himself up and exposing himself on a CD to the rest of the world. It failed so badly, and the work was so misunderstood that the band just kinda disappeared for a while. And what came back just isn't as good. Or as personal. it failed miserably...commercially? For one i think they made a couple of mistakes with that album in using el scorcho as a single...but pinkerton is one of my all time favorite albums and i think is much more highly regarded now.

Sometimes you just have to let an album soak in for a little while. The band didnt really disappear as much as the Rivers decided to go to college(Yale or Harvard, cant remember). I remember playing El Scorcho in SIU's college station WIDB and thinking that I kind of liked it, but I couldnt see it going over well with the mainstream, coming off of how huge The Sweater Song and Buddy Holly were.

Rex Kickass Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 It was panned huge when it first came out. Critically and commercially a flop and from what I understand, it did nearly break the band up. They haven't written anything anywhere close to as personal or raw or based on emotion. Now its all deconstructed Nirvana songs with not much feeling behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born He played it from the night time to the peaceful early morn He soothed the souls of psychos and the men who had the horn And they all looked very happy in the morning Now jimmy didn’t like his place in this world of ours Where the elephant man broke strong men’s necks When he’d had too many powers So sad to see the grieving of the people that he’s leaving And he took the road for God knows in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane The years passed by the times had changed I grew to be a man I learned to love the virtues of sweet sally maclennane I took the jeers and drank the beers and crawled back home at dawn And ended up a barman in the morning I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown I heard them say that jimmy’s making money far away And some people left for heaven without warning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane When jimmy came back home he was surprised that they were gone He asked me all the details of the train that they went on Some people they are scared to croak but jimmy drank until he choked And he took the road for heaven in the morning We walked him to the station in the rain We kissed him as we put him on the train And we sang him a song of times long gone Though we knew that we’d be seeing him again (far away) sad to say I must be on my way So buy me beer and whiskey ’cause I’m going far away (far away) I’d like to think of me returning when I can To the greatest little boozer and to sally maclennane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 bow to Shane, bow! It was christmas eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won’t see another one And then he sang a song The rare old mountain dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you Got on a lucky one Came in eighteen to one I’ve got a feeling This year’s for me and you So happy christmas I love you baby I can see a better time When all our dreams come true They’ve got cars big as bars They’ve got rivers of gold But the wind goes right through you It’s no place for the old When you first took my hand On a cold christmas eve You promised me Broadway was waiting for me You were handsome You were pretty Queen of new york city When the band finished playing They howled out for more Sinatra was swinging, All the drunks they were singing We kissed on a corner Then danced through the night The boys of the nypd choir Were singing galway bay And the bells were ringing out For christmas day You’re a bum You’re a punk You’re an old slut on junk Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed You scumbag, you maggot You cheap lousy f***** Happy christmas your arse I pray God it’s our last I could have been someone Well so could anyone You took my dreams from me When I first found you I kept them with me babe I put them with my own Can’t make it all alone I’ve built my dreams around you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 One of my favs, The Pogues with a Latin twist: I am francisco vasquez garcia I am welcome to almeria We have sin gas and con leche We have fiesta and feria We have the song of the cochona We have brandy and half corona And leonardo and his accordione And kalamari and macaroni Come all you rambling boys of pleasure And ladies of easy leisure We must say adios! until we see Almeria once again There is a minstrel, there you see, And he stoppeth one in three He whispers in this one’s ear Will you kindly kill that doll for me Now he has won cochona in the bingo All the town has watched this crazy gringo As he pulls off the dolls head laughing And miraldo! throws it’s body in the sea El veinticinco de agosto Abrio sus ojos jaime fearnley Para el bebe cinquante cincampari Y se tendio para cerrarlos Y costello el rey del america Y suntuosa cait o’riordan Nor vompere mis calliones Los gritos fuera de las casas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 i just bought LIars - drum's not dead and McLusky - McLuskyism(3cd farewell from my favorite group of welchman that just make fun of everything) this McLusky is awesome... i've had liars forever and its my favorite of the year so far. It's so beautiful. They got this studio in east berlin where the commies used to do stories over the radio so they had these 5 rooms in the studio with incredible acoustics where they'd record like crunching footsteps and stuff so they used all the rooms and its just this incredibly atmospheric album with amazing drumming...

You know, at one time I think Megadeth was really on a roll with "Symphony of Destruction" and "Sweating Bullets", and then they just faded faster than a hypercolor t-shirt(ha, im dating myself).

But you should check out the last CD they put out, The System Has Failed. I like it a lot. The DVD set is great, by the way!!! ....hypercolor t-shirts..... :puke .........

AddisonStSox Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The new David Gilmour cd, "On An Island" is quite good. There could be some bias there because I've been waiting so long for some new Gilmour material, but, I am liking this. It's not great by any stretch of the imagination, but, it's good.

Fotop Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 People in Planes album, As Far as the Eye can See, came out today. I've only listened through it once, but I really enjoyed their EP (the songs from there are all on the album) and I'm liking the rest of the album. Look them up if you're looking for something new.
