BDO announcement (2 Viewers)

[Brad]

If anyone watched metallica last year they are stupid.... The flaming lips gave the best BDO set ever.

 

[smegthehead]

wooohooo. nice line-up. jbt, powderfinger, the streets, little birdy, dallas crane!! top stuff.

i like the streets, but they really suck anus live. did anyone see them on rove a while back?

oh and speaking on shit performances from good bands, did anyone watch franz ferdinand on letterman last night?

 

[steph@nie]

I thought the streets was just one person?

 

[breaking]

yes it is just one person.

and no i didnt see FF on letterman the other night, i switched off during the howard dean interview.
which song did they perform?

 

[walrusbear]

The next announcement had fucking well better have interpol in it, otherwise I'm not going. Might as well just go to a powderfinger solo show.

damn straight
i'm going to cry if interpol don't come to australia in january

 

[smegthehead]

I thought the streets was just one person?

it is the brainchild of one person, mike skinner, but when they performed live they had a 3 piece band behind him, and the black dude that does all the other vocals on the songs.

and no i didnt see FF on letterman the other night, i switched off during the howard dean interview.
which song did they perform?

they did take me out, and the vocals and harmonies were just shi-ite.

howard dean shitted me off too, it was 20 mins of him going "john kerry is my hero, i want to make love to him blah blah blah...."

come to think of it, letterman sucks dick, im never watching it again

Take me out vocals always seems to be shit live. You don't notice when you're actually in the crowd though. Everyone's yelling the lyrics and it's really only about the guitars, drum and bass in that song anyway. I heard the JJJ replay of TMO from Splendour and didn't recognise it. Apparently he forgot the words at one point, ran out of breath at the end of every phrase, sang off-key and couldn't reach the low notes, but I wasn't aware of any of it at the time. I don't think I'm gonna bother with BDO this year. I might go to Homebake instead and I'm going to Falls in Lorne.

 

[CarloVonSexron]

I heard Television might be coming.
Television + Interpol = me going

 

[Brad]

yeah... television and the cure are strong rumours as are green day...


Eagles of death metal would be fucking ace.... Josh Homme isnt touring with them though,.

 

[thejosiekiller]

eagles of death metal would be pretty good- id like to see them play live

even if they r a bit chuck berry in style

 

[Brad]

yeah.... but it makes me dance soooo badly that it has to be good. Whorehopping is a fucking mad song


I admit the album can at times be a bit samey, but i reckon its good.... never match up to QOTSA.... not during the days that Nick + Mark were in it.

 

[steph@nie]

the cure? yay. throw in interpol and i'd be a happy lassie.

 

[thejosiekiller]

yeah.... but it makes me dance soooo badly that it has to be good. Whorehopping is a fucking mad song
.

ah i havnt heard their album- worth a buy or a listen??

qotsa rocks!!!!!! would have like to see them live at the BDO years b4

 

[Brad]

Yeah.... buy it... not from sainity though... they charge like 35 for it.


Ummmm yeah i reckon its the goods. its one i can listen to all the way through


I dont mind interpol, i need to be in the right mood for them.

The killers and the hives are meant to be there,

 

[thejosiekiller]

yeah ive been told about the killers- apparently theyre good as well

 

[Brad]

The first four tracks on Hot fuss are awesome, the rest are good. But not as good.


I <3 the hives too.

 

[thejosiekiller]

id imagine the hives would be mad live- i like thier earlier stuff though like die alright...

 

[Brad]

Yeah... i only have your new favourite band and i reckon its good.... i like the couple of newys i heard on JJJ, but i heard its not as strong as the single suggest

 

[thejosiekiller]

nah my favourite band is massive attack

theyre not really a band and they probably would be pretty unique live

and their best release was mezzaine. but they r great along with apc and deftones

 

[Brad]

Yeah APC are good... you heard theres a new album coming out really soon. and a live DVD (The album is mostly covers.) Including john lennons imagine


MAssive attack, yeah i dont mind them... they're are down to like one guy aren't they...
