this was like my #1 fav song when i was 14, unimpeachably great imo
I wanted all songs to be like this when I was about 15, just chugging going nowhere riffy grooves with tribal shouting
a decade later I discovered motorik krautrock and was like " oh riiiiiiiiight"

it's a great post

it's also completely unnecessary; was it really that difficult to see that my argument was that the emotional impact of the song only really works for me in the context of the album and hearing it as a standalone song first made it come across as a maudlin, inferior version of "Summertime Rolls"?

Just realised the version of Three Days on Spotify, and hence the version I've grown to love, is a live version, and that it is if anything slightly better than the studio version.

which version is that?
― srahell (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 8 September 2010 22:37 (2 years ago) Permalink
It's the Kettle Whistle version, sans Perry Farrell crowd-banter at the start. Fucking killer.
― acoleuthic, Wednesday, 8 September 2010 22:40 (2 years ago) Permalink
apparently the live version was included in the southland tales soundtrack
don't let anyone persuade u that film is anything other than waste
― srahell (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 8 September 2010 22:41 (2 years ago) Permalink
yeah it's the Southland Tales version, which IS the Kettle Whistle/Cabinet Of Curiosities version, edited appropriately
so fucking well-recorded that I assumed it was the studio version - would have been so amazing to be there

Achilles Last Stand

the success of this song is that it reminds you, or alternatively sheds profound light on, an unashamedly decadent era in rock music when artists all but fulfilled in persona the godlike, mythic status attributed to them. three days is at once a thrilling take on the unyielding, flamboyant lifestyle of the rockstar and a more subliminal portrait of imminent burnout.

Uh, not for me.
I crashed & burned to a mental backdrop of this song with a girl I liked in my English class. She'd written a story called 'Jane's Addiction' which I was complimenting her on, I guess hoping that we had bonded instantly over our shared love of music and could take things from there.
Instead she slowly & patiently explained that Jane's Addiction were a band. Maybe if I had 1% smoothness I could've told her that I'd been jamming Ritual for months and this, the centrepiece, was my soul, dammit - but suddenly seeing myself as the geek who could never possibly have heard of them was just insurmountable and I slunk away in disgrace.
I mean wtf, she thought I actually liked her story?! Sheesh.

As a youth, I too, prepared the room with Christmas lights and a city of candles. Could have probably done "fresh sheets" a little better though.
