At that point, the song becomes poppy and happy and they sing "la la la, everybody's going to the party to have a real good time, dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine..la la la la la la la la la la."
I love their use of sarcasm, the fact that they sing about us being lied to and brainwashed, and "Cigaro" seems to be written from Bush's point of view:
"My cock is much bigger than yours" ..."We're the propagators of all genocide
Burning through the world's resources
Then we turn and hide "
The lyrics are meaningful and the music ROCKS!

Don't steal it- Buy it!!

We got this one yesterday...I agree...I love it.

I've been listening to Stevie Wonder mostly the past few days. The man is a genius.

Elspode · 06-10-2005, 03:59 PM

I'm *trying* to listen to Bob Dylan's "Blood on the Tracks", but my cheapass RCA unencumbered-by-any-features-mp3-player's output jack is toast.

I haven't been able to figure out a way to approach the Mrs. about needing something a little better...or at least actually functional.

Oh, that's easy! Just tell Mrs. Ep that the gods have told you to buy an iPod...who are you to argue with them?

Unfortunately, Mrs. Ep is on her own wavelength with the Gods, and I'm afraid there are few divine arguments or recommendations that I could slide past her without her doing a bit of checking up on her own...

I have not heard of a single one of those bands.

Els, what you need to do is do some major creative visualization work. The gods are funny about giving us those pesky lottery numbers, but every now and then a treat falls our way.

lookout123 · 06-11-2005, 03:24 PM

well, they are all metal or punk from one brand or another. but some highlights:

Coalesce, Uphold, and to a lesser extent Losa really play with alternate time signatures until your brain hurts.

actually so do The Esoteric, Warlord, and the Red Chord.

The Misfits were glenn danzigs baby when he was a teen and early twenty something in Lodi, NJ. his best band by far.

Van Zant
Donnie & Johnny are really good together. I can't really decide whether it's southern rock or progressive country.

Def Leppard - Hysteria

I had a Ratt moment yesterday, but could only find Detonator to listen to. Still, it has a couple good songs on it. Today is Porcupine Tree again. I can't recommend those guys enough.
