THE PASTURE

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

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

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

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-two years ago)

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

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

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

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 5 December 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

nine months pass...

remember these guys?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― kyle (akmonday), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

i still like echoes.

― peter smith (plsmith), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Fabtabulous! Echoes is an absolute dance-rock classic!

"Open Up Your Heart" still sucks, though.

― Mr. Snrub, Wednesday, 22 September 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

Any bets on what another album will sound like?

― mike h. (mike h.), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:19 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

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.

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

"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 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

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

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Somebody else on here likes Gogogoairheart!

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

i think.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

nice one, Tim.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:36 (twenty-one years ago)

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 (twenty-one years ago)

have their voices improved?

― manthony m1cc1o (Anthony Miccio), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

congratulations adam, you are now a scotsman!

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Fantastic! I will expect some sort of certificate, for tax purposes of course.

― adam. (nordicskilla), Wednesday, 22 September 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

three months pass...

From my friend Mike (a conversation he had at a party last week):
---

Me: Yeah, I use to play drums about ten years ago in Detroit--.

Dude: What was your band?

Me: I was in the Catfish. Not that alternative band, but an old school punk band. We never put out a record or played outside of the city.

Dude: That’s what I do, play drums.

Me: What’s your band?

Dude: The Rapture.

Me: No Really, what’s your band?

Dude: The Rapture.

Me: You’re in The Rapture?

Dude: Yeah.

Me: Okay, be honest with me. How much do you hate “House of Jealous Lovers?”

Dude: No, I like that song.

Me: Come on, is there part of you that’s all, “Goddamn, this song again,” when you’re playing out?

Dude: No, no, I like playing that live. Like, I look forward to it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 21 January 2005 21:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Good for him! I like that story.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 21 January 2005 21:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Of course he loves it, you'd love it too if you got to wail away on a cowbell. I bet he even calls it "the cowbell song."

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Friday, 21 January 2005 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

hahaha - awesome story.

― peter smith (plsmith), Friday, 21 January 2005 21:57 (twenty-one years ago)

matty plays the cowbell, vito ("the dude") plays the highhat.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

whoops i mean gabe plays the cowbell.

― gygax! (gygax!), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:00 (twenty-one years ago)

xpost - it's the sax guy hitting the cowbell.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

carlos d. has herpes?

― Ian John50n (orion), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:02 (twenty-one years ago)

(Yeah, it's Vito.)

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Carlos D got herpes from a gabe the cowbell player?

― djdee2005 (djdee2005), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:14 (twenty-one years ago)

Carlos Delgado got herpes from Gabe the Kapler AND Mike Piazza is getting married? Get the fuck out!

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:17 (twenty-one years ago)

I am enjoying The Rapture at the moment.

― .ada.m. (nordicskilla), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:19 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread inspired me to listen to Echoes, which I am doing currently!

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:20 (twenty-one years ago)

You Pink Floyd freak.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:28 (twenty-one years ago)

MORE FLYING PIGS PLEASE

― David R. (popshots75`), Friday, 21 January 2005 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

More about The Ratpure please, they sound interesting, anyone know anything about them?

― elwisty, Saturday, 22 January 2005 01:11 (twenty-one years ago)

They make atonal micro glitchoid twee punk and are based in Milton Keynes. Expect to hear more of these lads in 2005.

― James Oldham, Saturday, 22 January 2005 01:13 (twenty-one years ago)

I kind of like it when DC says they were a load of horrible cacophonous squawking. I can imagine it being true - yes, I can. But, it's only my imagination.

― the bellefox, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 19:26 (twenty-one years ago)

six years pass...

revive?

― it's a meme i made and i like (Steve Shasta), Friday, 20 May 2011 19:39 (fifteen years ago)

I hear they are coming tomorrow.

― The Reverend, Saturday, 21 May 2011 01:34 (fifteen years ago)

hahaha

― jeff, Saturday, 21 May 2011 17:05 (fifteen years ago)

this thread is the reason why whenever I hear "rapture" I autocorrect in my minds to "ratpure." "thanks," ilm
