are they playing philly? perhaps my glowing review from a newspaper in another state will get me in.

"hey, jolly green, down in front."

But jess, aren't you like, taller than everyone else?

I think he just pointed out the downside, see.

on the other hand, you might get a lump of coal.

hence the "jolly green" (plus his clothes are made of leaves)

these guys are good to see live, you can shake your hips

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:45 (twenty years ago) link

when will i find a litle green sprout to call my own

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:45 (twenty years ago) link

okay, that was just wrong

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:45 (twenty years ago) link

and my hips are only good for breeding

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:46 (twenty years ago) link

Ok, I'm slow obv. Because see, I'm kinda short so I'm usually the one grousing; I projected onto jess' statement.

Anyway, I was thinking of going to that Chicago show tonight but I've already been in that shithole (the Metro) once this week, and I realized I've only heard "House of Jealous Lovers" and I only really wanted to hang out for Tommie Sunshine's dj set afterwards anyway. Plus I have no $$.

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:48 (twenty years ago) link

is the album as good as the gogogoairheart album?

there are no DFA tracks on the gogogo so obviously nearly every track on the rapture album blows the exittheuxa out of the water. taken on it's own terms, however, i think the gogogo album is great. they just lack a deadly-efficient dance moves. i have friends who claim "dancepunk" and like the rapture but think "beat connection" is just plain stupid; i'd probably recommend the gogogo album to those friends.

haha! when i interviewed them, that was the interview going on before me. i overheard most of those questions. (or maybe it was another mag asking equally dumb ones)

THE PASTURE

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 5 December 2003 03:06 (twenty years ago) link

i still want to hear them cover "Unbelievable" by EMF!!!

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 5 December 2003 03:12 (twenty years ago) link

I wanna hear them cover the Warriors theme!

(disclaimer: I want to hear all my favorite bands cover the Warriors theme)

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Friday, 5 December 2003 04:35 (twenty years ago) link

gogogo has about 50 great songs though. the rapture have about ten.

― twelve, Friday, 5 December 2003 05:51 (twenty years ago) link

Oo nostalgia. This thread holds my first ever posting on this board.

nine months pass...

remember these guys?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:29 (nineteen years ago) link

i saw them a month ago at the cure show. thye were good.

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:34 (nineteen years ago) link

i still like echoes.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:42 (nineteen years ago) link

Fabtabulous! Echoes is an absolute dance-rock classic!

"Open Up Your Heart" still sucks, though.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:55 (nineteen years ago) link

i still like "open up your heart".

i really feel like this album is one of the few hypehypehyped albums (wilco, interpol (never liked that one), etc) of the past few years thats survived some time for me.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I liked it enough to defend it to the death, so good on 'em.

― B.A.R.M.S. (Barima), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:06 (nineteen years ago) link

Any bets on what another album will sound like?

― mike h. (mike h.), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:19 (nineteen years ago) link

I sold this album to my friend for four dollars. It's not very good.

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:46 (nineteen years ago) link

HOJL = single of the decade.

The album's flawed but it's still pretty fabulous. From the new songs I've heard, the next one probably isn't going to be as good and they'll probably never come close to matching HOJL, but it'll still be a damn fun album.

― The Good Dr. Bill (Andrew Unterberger), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:54 (nineteen years ago) link

somebody say something about gogogo airheart? I like the rapture but gogogo does kick their asses, a lot bit. I don't think this is a thread about gogogo airheart kicking rapture ass though.

― Brandon Biondo (twinkiebots), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 17:28 (nineteen years ago) link

judging by the live shows the new one will be alot better, at least that's my opinion. each show I've seen over the last year has been a little better and more developed.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 19:26 (nineteen years ago) link

question: i really like Echoes, but is any of their earlier stuff worth getting? was the dfa production thing important to Echoes?

― paulhw (paulhw), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:04 (nineteen years ago) link

was the dfa production thing important to Echoes?

Yes, BUT the DFA also did the Sub Pop EP and that sounds little like Echoes does.

― Vic Funk, Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:30 (nineteen years ago) link

"Out of the races and on to the tracks" (the track itself) is definately worth getting.

Also i Love "open up your heart" but i couldnt care less about "Sister Saviour"

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:32 (nineteen years ago) link

Why do you have to hurt me like this? Does it give you pleasure?

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:33 (nineteen years ago) link

The early Mirror EP is pretty good. Not dissimilar to a good Gogogoairheart record.

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Somebody else on here likes Gogogoairheart!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:36 (nineteen years ago) link

i think.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:36 (nineteen years ago) link

nice one, Tim.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:36 (nineteen years ago) link

the last song on the subpop ep is pretty good too, i have no idea what it's called, it reminds me of thin white rope meets ramblin' jack elliot with missy elliot beatboxing over it.

gogogoairheart is fine, i take it adaml has an aversion to the search function (as do a few of the other Scots on ILX).

― gygax! (gygax!), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:43 (nineteen years ago) link

have their voices improved?
