Stingy, it's a bit late, notice-wise, although it's true that I want to hang with the good doc again.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:27 (sixteen years ago) link
if i remember correctly, he basically picks a fight with joey and maybe even dumps her because he's flunking out and insecure. he may even try to hook up with another girl. all this while they are trapped on a boat.
this is why social events on moving boats are BAD.

If I were A, I would use my POS car to push the dumpster so it parks in the SUV. Then I would go have a beer. QED
i would block in the suv then fill said dumpster with several 80lb bags of sackcrete then take a garden hose to it. trying to get that thing to move after the concrete sets would be a sisyphusian endeavor.

Yeah, dumping the garbage in the spot would be a GREAT idea. Honestly, what I see happening is me going door-to-door asking for help push/pulling a giant, heavy dumpster back to its rightful home. And maybe taking pictures so people NEVER FORGET 9/25/07.
xp - He's insecure because his dog is an attempted rapist.

Wait, maybe I have seen that episode.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:35 (sixteen years ago) link
Thanks for the National link, dan. I have trouble following discussions about recording gear but the drum sound on that record is great, and those dudes have some sweet sweet guitars.

whoa -- stormin'
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:44 (sixteen years ago) link
I love the drumming on that record. Dude plays uncomplicated but really interesting parts.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:45 (sixteen years ago) link
big storming!
that episode was pretty sad but not as bad as i remembered. still, i'm not going to go on parties on boats just in case, you know?
― colette, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
This video is funny because I think you see the drummer more than you see the singer.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh you better believe I was mentally recording how he played some of those parts while watching them the other night. He's got a pretty minimal kit (only one cymbal + hats) but gets a hell of a lot out of it.
― dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:47 (sixteen years ago) link
er, plus bass, 2 toms & snare
Their singer is very uncharismatic.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:48 (sixteen years ago) link
but in general, I think a lot of the dark meaty sound came from the 1953 Neumann U-47 in front of the kit.
This is the boring answer to why good-sounding records recorded in awesome studios sound good
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Does anyone have a 1953 Neumann U-47 we can borrow?
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
would i like that band better if i played an instrument?
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:50 (sixteen years ago) link
You have to have some tolerance for sad bastard indie rock, I think.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
When I saw them (The National) touring on the last album, the singer was very, very charismatic. Also very, very drunk. But the kind of drunk that seemed to make him all the more intense and focused instead of aloof and/or petulant.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't have said tolerance, but that is a cool drum part and a good sound.
― Jordan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:51 (sixteen years ago) link
No.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Hm. Ok. I tried to like them because you guys are always raving and I found myself feeling very little enthusiasm.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
and I'm not really sure why I love that album so much, since I don't really like sad bastard indie rock that much. I think part of it is that his lyrics are kind of general and enigmatic, not embarassingly personal and sappy like a lot of sad bastard indie rock.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I still don't get very excited for the new album, but I like them plenty.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not a huge fan, either, Amanda.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:53 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't feel antipathy, but I did not want to listen to the album anymore. (I think the one D dl'ed is the most recent)
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I like them. They sound a bit like old U2 to me.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I can understand people not liking it, there's nothing really that jumps out about it and lots of people hate on dude's lyrics (though I think they're great), but I don't know, something about it just gets me.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:54 (sixteen years ago) link
See, I love old U2.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Also, two sets of brothers = cool.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:55 (sixteen years ago) link
love the lyrics, love the voice, love the band.
― kenan, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:56 (sixteen years ago) link
Also old U2 contains some serious belting in the vocals and this guy sounds asleep/like Crash Test Dummies dude. I like a little more belting, less laconic snoozing. Like I said, I didn't hate it or anything, but it did not move me.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I *heart* The National.
My sad bastard indie rock tolerance is wicked high, though.
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:57 (sixteen years ago) link
I think he sounds a lot like the Smog dude at times.
― dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, my sad bastard indie tolerance is at an all-time low.

Ha ha, he does sound like the Crash Test Dummies guy.
Do you guys know if their pre-Alligator albums are any good? They have all of them at that record store on Roscoe.
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
So apparently they played pitchfork last year. I guess I just hadn't heard of them then.
― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 20:59 (sixteen years ago) link
I wish I could sing low. ;_;
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
Whoa, thats some interesting stuff about the CMJ submissions on Pitchfork. The headline is needlessly alarmist, but does sound like that SonicBid site needs to get its shit together.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
I didn't mean to start anything -- I just wondered if my lack of attention to little details of musicianship/recording had anything to do with my inability to like this band.
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:00 (sixteen years ago) link
i can!

IMHO Sonicbidzz blows.
Pre-Alligator = hit or miss, according to mattttttttt
