...oh, nevermind :P

[redqueen]

1. Yay!

Now I have Heaven or Las Vegas in my head.

Man, that's some nice sexin music.

[no name no slogan]

2. "Makeout music for punk rockers"

as one of my college buddies called it.

I'm listening to Treasure right now after being on a Siouxsie kick this afternoon. Sounds nice........

[tuvor]

4. Treasure is absolutely gorgeous.

That, and Head Over Heels are my favourite CT albums.

9. I've had a jones for "Garlands" lately

"Blood Bitch" and "Wax and Wane" just blow me away. I bought the 12" box when I lived in the UK, and will probably listen to the whole thing tonight. Ah friday....

[MN ChimpH8R]

5. Siouxsie

Gotta remember to pull out "The Scream" or whatever LP Dazzle was on tonite.

[tuvor]

8. Hyaena, I think.

[no name no slogan]

10. I think that's it

I've had "Juju" in heavy rotation today. I just found out that John McGeoch (gtrist on Juju et. al.) died last year :wtf: Where the hell have I been hiding?!?!?

[MN ChimpH8R]

12. That is a huge bummer

McGeoch was a GREAT guitarist. :cry:

You might recall that he came to S&TB from the muchly fab and tragically undervalued group Magazine. They were one of my late 1970s faves - nasty attitude but serious musicianship and the awesome lyrics of Howard Devoto.

25. Magazine were AMAZING

One of the first true "post-punk" outfits. McGeoch was a real talent and it's a true tragedy that he died so young (49, IIRC). I'm going to miss him :cry:

[baby_mouse]

20. Total psyche-out coincidence

Had "Pure" running through my brain all day today... Odd. Not exactly earwormish.

Also have been plaing juju on and off for weeks...

[I Know How To Do it]

3. I had a friend that screamed at them to, "Start ROCKIN!" at

a show.

[no name no slogan]

7. My bass player screamed "Freebird" at a Suzanne Vega show

she heard him, too, and gave him a smirk and a smile. Yeah, she got it :)

[tuvor]

6. If you like CT, check out Titania from Edmonton.

(Formerly the Sensualists)

Some really good stuff there.

ON EDIT: I'll bet a link'd come in handy. http://www.fedge.net/titania/

11. I'll check that

I'm a sucker for that sound. I'm a guitar player myself and have invested mightily to get that Robin Guthrie/Kevin Shields beautiful roar. Just a few delays, some chorus, flange and a couple Roland JC120s should do it :P

[tuvor]

13. Listening to Oceans and Stairways right now.

No, your band does NOT suck at all!

And I can make out the lyrics! ;)

[no name no slogan]

16. dang

aw shucks! :blush: The blatant Guthrie rip-off sound is on "Valentines Day" and "Call in Well". Actually, "Call in Well" is damn near plagiaristic of Kitchens of Distinction. Totally inadvertant, but when somebody pointed that out to me I had to agree. :D

[tuvor]

23. Yeah, I totally hear

the Guthrie thing on Valentine. Nothing wrong with that!

You'll hear a lot of that in the Sensualists, and maybe in their Titania incarnation, too (which I'm not really familiar with, since I left Edmonton ten years ago). Even the vocals are in the Liz Fraser vein.

[baby_mouse]

21. Such a Beautiful Sound

And it was lost...

Make moozik! Make a website! Post link here! I will buy your albums!

[baby_mouse]

22. "Winged Water, Feathered River...

Dirty rich soil, strong and fertile..."

[no name no slogan]

24. I'll send you a CD if you like

just PM me your address. I'm sending a couple out tomorrow-- I'll add you to the list! :hi:

I'm the process of resurrecting the band. We've been on again/off again for the last eight years, but my recent divorce has created a lot of free time and has given me a boot in the ass, writing-wise. More tunes are coming, I just need to figure out how this newfangled digital multitrack recorder thingy works so I can get some demos done! :dunce:

[swag]

14. I like that song "Should I hiccup my cheerios"

Should I hiccup
Should I hiccup my cheerios
Should I hiccup my gum
Should I hiccup my cheerios

[tuvor]

15. LOL

Well, I guess I can't listen to that song anymore!

:rofl:

[swag]

17. What is that song really called?

A friend had that on a mix-CD on a trip to Baltimore.

[tuvor]

19. Sugar Hiccup

Don't ask me for they lyrics, though.

[no name no slogan]

18. :D

:rofl:
