the dude Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 So what's their deal? HIM, that is. I asked a while back but none of you crazy Scandanavians responded. I hear they're popular with the Nordic crowd. Are they like the Finnish gothic version of Bon Jovi? I haven't been in a mall lately, but I bet the Hot Topic crowd loves 'em over here too. I do think they did a good job with that Chris Isaak cover, "Wicked Game," however. edit: Screaming Trees - Nearly Lost You <{POST_SNAPBACK}> just know that they are more like fall out boy with black eyeliner= crap Nothing- Negative Approach btw, that screaming trees song is awesome words are weightless here on earth because they're free
Darth Drabek Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 Mark Lanegan is awesome. Whether it's Screaming Trees, QOTSA, or the Twilight Singers, anything he touches is better for it. Have any of you heard his solo stuff? I was thinking about picking up "Bubblegum," which I heard was the best of his solo albums.

Baley Posted April 27, 2006 Author Posted April 27, 2006 I've been thinking about the same thing, just with "Whiskey For The Holy Ghost" instead of "Bubblegum". Killdozer - Man vs. Nature
kirottu Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 You actually paid money to see them? This was what, 96-97? You were 15? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Something like that. I think the tickets were under 10€ or something. The gig was in some rundown old tiny place. The band itself was about two hours late and whoever organized it decided to play techno at max, while the fans waited. It had no air condition what so ever so after people had smoked there for couple of hours and the gig actually started also meant that some people started to pass out. It was awesome. :D So what's their deal? HIM, that is. I asked a while back but none of you crazy Scandanavians responded. I hear they're popular with the Nordic crowd. Are they like the Finnish gothic version of Bon Jovi? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pretty much so, yes. I do think they did a good job with that Chris Isaak cover, "Wicked Game," however. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I like that one too. First album was the best and after the band started to drift more to this "love metal" thingy two of them called quits. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Kor Qel Droma Posted April 27, 2006 Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) On the topic of Screaming Trees, Sweet Oblivion is one of my favorite albums from the Grunge era. Nearly Lost You, Dollar Bill, Butterfly are all near classics. Although the opener Shadow of the Season was one of my favorite tunes to get baked to, along with 'Lounge Act' by Nirvana. edit: I just finished listening to Spoon - Anything You Want Edited April 27, 2006 by Kor Qel Droma Jaguars4ever is still alive.

Enoch Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Eyeball Skeleton - The Smokey Turtle. You can hear the track on their Myspace Site. Lyrical sampling: In the garden, he was running all around When his shell made a sizzling sound. Someone made eggs on his back 'Cause they're hungry for a really good snack... The Smokey Turtle, he was so smokey, When he came around, the people chokey, chokey. The next verse is even better-- it's about the turtle's breakdancing skills. Edited April 28, 2006 by Enoch
Kor Qel Droma Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Heh, I liked Eyeball Skeleton. I like how they draw a new picture for each song they make. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 They're awesome. The whole 'my dad is my drummer' thing is a bit weird though.
Kor Qel Droma Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 It's just a guess, but I'd assume that the Dad is playing all of the instruments. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Enoch Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 It's just a guess, but I'd assume that the Dad is playing all of the instruments. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dad plays lead guitar, runs the drum machine, and probably writes most of the music. The boys play guitar & bass, write the lyrics, sing, and do the cover art.
Krookie Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 "Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades"- Brand New She hits the lights. This doesn't seem quite fair. Despite everything he learned from his friends, he doesn't feel so prepared. She's breathing quiet and smooth. He's gasping for air. "This is the first and last time," he says. She fakes a smile and presses her hips into his. He keeps his hands pinned down at his sides. He's holding back from telling her exactly what it really feels like.
