A Good Day In Hell - The Official ILM Track-By-Track EAGLES Listening Thread

some prefer vinyl porn

Eagles (sort of) in the wild: I listened to "On The Border" today completely of my own accord.

the bad guys always win

Well, yeah.

Got a certain Eagles song stuck in my head this morning (See Vine post. Warning: Some caterwauling involved.)

I'm still singing it in the car with kids - "Honey, you can't hide those changin' lights" - when I felt a force move within me. "Say, let's turn on the radio. I bet they're playing this song I'm singing."

Turn it on and -- it's the last sixteen bars of "Life In the Fast Lane". Not dead-on, but spooky nonetheless.

omg that Vine

Beeps made a good correction, instead of "Lion Pants", it should've been "Lion Butt".

She's a great song arranger, definitely the Glenn Frey of the family.

ahhhhhhhhhhh that is the best! i love it

Check out the sex-face on this tortoise.

hahaha fuck this band

In The Wild: I'm in a Fuddrucker's and "All She Wants To Do Is Dance" fighting to be heard over the patrons.

listened to the long run today

it’s almost like when Pavement did “Crooked Rain,” we thought “We’re going to do the Eagles and Free, but like, indie rock. We’re going to see how much of this people can take, or how much we can take.” There’s a certain self-hate involved in it or something.

Did you come out of that with a new appreciation for the Eagles, or did you end up hating them a little bit more?

I still hate them. There’s too much — it’s not even the music. It’s kind of like “Graceland” for me, that album too. There’s levels of evil in it to me. We know what they are but I don’t want to go in print saying too much. Not the Eagles.

DON: Have Stephen Milk...Malk...mus?--What the fuck kind of name is that?--Malk-mus? What is that, Polish or something? Anyway, have him killed.

GLENN: But first find out from him were the 'Summer Babes' are now! They don't like to be called 'Sexy Girls" anymore, you know.

DON: Well, yeah.

In the wild: I heard "I Can't Tell You Why" in a restaurant this morning (via Sirius 70s on 7 they use as muzak) and now I've just heard "The Long Run" in a grocery store.

you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave

well, yeah.

The following came up as a "Sponsored Post" from Don Felder in my FB feed this morning:

Don’t forget that if you purchase a VIP package your meet & greet also gets you up close and personal with my guitars. Hope that’s some extra incentive to purchase a VIP package for #thesoundtrackofsummer.

Even the...double neck?

lol comment from his page:

I love you Don (like a brother, of coarse), but Newark NJ is the murder capital of the country. Please be careful going in & out of the gig. I'm going to have to pass. Maybe you should send Frey first to test the area out!

send photogs around to "do***ent" the life

this is way upthread, but lol at the needles censorship here. not sure whether this was self-policing by the commenter or the site it came from being overly aggressive with its filtering. either way, lol.

It's ok Don you'll be fine without an open carry permit. I'm trying to get VIP tickets and meet Mr. Fingers.

Think we've seen that one before, but oh no pretty mama, what they gonna do in those shirts.

"Can we be shown pictures of weirdos with Mike Love and Don Felder's guitars?"

felder = irl victim of Love

:D

No Henley & Mike photos? There truly is not enough Love in the world.

I'll show myself out...

In the wild: As I typed my post to the CVS obscure singles thread, the Jack In The Box muzak channel began playing "How Long".

ew

DON: The industry sucks so bad that we're lucky when fans get to hear our music by whatever legal means at their disposal. I'm told "How Long" off our last album is a big CVS hit.

GLENN: "How long" is right -- 20 minutes on my last visit just to buy a pack of Trojans!

DON: Well, yeah.

I can just picture someone going to CVS to buy condoms and changing their mind after hearing 'How Long'

it's the perfect aural contraceptive

you just wrote and conceived the commercial!

Heard "Old '55" in Kroger yesterday ...

... but it was the Tom Waits version! Kroger, you never cease to amaze me.

If I had one ILM wish, it would be that I had been in this group when you did this, I would have been right with you people every torturous step of the way. Bless yr hearts, this thread brings me profound joy.

^^We haven't had that spirit here since 1969.

also I need to say that I have a sleep disorder and I need to have something very familiar and bland and comforting on TV to help lull me to sleep and when the Eagles doc is on Showtime On Demand, it's my go-to soporific. Every single night.

this is the thread that i deserve
