Darth Drabek Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 I leave for a weekend and you guys get into a battle over Hootie and the Blowfish. Geez. Hootie has got a bum rap for years because their ridiculous ride from college rock bar band to gazillion-selling recording artists. That first album was a great album. It was like those early Michael Jackson CDs where every song was a hit. I had it on tape back in the day, and picked it up again for $1.99 on CD a few years back. Maybe it's because they were my first "real" concert, back in '98, but I refuse to jump on the Hootie-hater bandwagon. I had their second and third albums too - they were okay, but never matched the magic of that first one. As it is, we should all remember the words of that long-dead patriot, Patrick Henry. I may not like what you have to post on an internet message board, but I will defend to the death your right to post it, sir! Then he said, "Give me Tubgirl or give me death!"

Darth Drabek Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Oh boy, oh boy. I bet you'd like to hear the Twilight Singers version of "Hard Time Killing Floor." It's just Greg Dulli, Mark Lanegan and an acoustic guitar. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs

Darth Drabek Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 It's on She Loves You, the covers album I was talking about a few days ago. They do everybody from Mazzy Star to Fleetwood Mac to Marvin Gaye. Nazi Driver..... good pick. You hear the song they let the bass player sing on that album? "Circle of Power." Awful. baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
Baley Posted June 12, 2006 Author Posted June 12, 2006 Just read it. Wow. I'm going to see if can find some stuff by this guy Patton. I hadn't heard about him before. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Utterly devastating at times. Great loss. The Blues Revival sure missed the likes of him and Robert Johnson. Skip James - Devil Got My Woman <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From Ghost World? I really like that version. The recording. Sounds great. Drabek, gonna try finding that one. Though I can't say I'm all that psyched about the other covers. Shall see. Heard Summertime. Liked it. Gonna listen to Circle of Power next.
Blarghagh Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 E - Hello Cruel World A bit poppier than Mr E's Eels work, but still great.
Darth Drabek Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 My favorite covers on that album are probably "Too Tough to Die" by Martina Topley-Bird and "Black is the Color..." Although the Dulli/Lanegan "Strange Fruit" is pretty powerful in its own way. You know, back in my Soundgarden worshipping days I actually recorded the the songs "665" and "667" from Ultramega OK onto my computer and reversed them using sound recorder (which could do that at that time, don't know for sure if it still does). What sounds like nonsense if played normally is actually really funny played backwards. It's basically Chris Cornell crooning stuff like "I love you Satan, baby" and "Satan, you got what I neeeeed." baby, take off your beret everyone's a critic and most people are DJs
Dark_Raven Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darth Drabek Posted June 12, 2006 Posted June 12, 2006 (edited) Circle of Power is awesome. That is all. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ha. Figures. Their music was quite different back then, heh. Here's part of the "official" lyric transcription. Ol' big bad ass circle of power's comin' to getcha! (lots of screaming, mumbling) (spoken) Not necessarily dumb, but just uh...beautiful...beautiful... (/spoken) Soundgarden - Mood for Trouble Now that song kicks all kinds of buttocks.

karka Posted June 13, 2006 Posted June 13, 2006 I've seen JP's Rising in the East live DVD. Good performance despite thier ages. Well, Rob's voice isn't much powerful anymore but he's still a great frontman. Most charismatic gay i've ever seen. They've never been in Turkey. I want to see them with my own eyes.
