awww at that kilbeyblog
its so fucking loud
I’ve heard quieter jumbos taking off
this is figuratively true but the room they played is literally a converted factory directly underneath the flightpath, 4 miles from the airport so Steve may also have been jazzily confused

(saboteurs is the raconteurs' name in australia due to a dispute with an existing band here)
lol this is an incredible fact. that’ll teach me to out-sic sic

it's a hilariously ineffective & petty way of thumbing their nose at the existing band
(who were complete nobodies who had no idea why someone was offering to buy their name, so counter-offered out of curiosity, and apparently enraged White by their impertinence)

i have almost never listened to dynamite steps, forgot how much i liked low-key gutter twins track "be invited"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:10 (three years ago) link
dynamite steps has a few awesome songs, the mix is a bit crowded though iirc

i have to revisit saturnalia and then my tracks ballot will be done... i'm already furious about most of the cuts i've had to make
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:19 (three years ago) link
"on the corner" still really hits
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:22 (three years ago) link
"gunshots" also amazing... too many good songs.....
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 02:27 (three years ago) link
the atmosphere of saturnalia is so goddamn thick
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 03:08 (three years ago) link
fuck, i’m gonna have to vote for “circle the fringes”
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 03:13 (three years ago) link
Been listening back thru everything for this poll and I’m feeling like blackberry belle might be my number one album vote when I thought gentlemen was a forgone conclusion.
― Will (kruezer2), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 05:28 (three years ago) link
Really enjoyed this acoustic Dulli/Lanegan set from Brussels ca. Saturnalia. Gutter Twins-heavy, but some solo-Lanegan/TS.

i was super hyped for the gutter twins album in college, probably because they had been recording it for so long, and "idle hands" was like a rock song from hell. i think saturnalia has the best production of nearly any of dulli's records, and i think this is funny because it's surrounded by two twilight singers records where i'm not entirely down with the production choices. imo the first half is still a terrifying sink into black murk; for some reason the spell breaks for me after "circle the fringes"... which is fine given how good "circle the fringes" is. (until i revisited the record last night (my first time in at least ten years) i had completely forgotten that song existed, so it sort of feels like i've been reunited with an old friend lol)
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 14:48 (three years ago) link
if i had enough room on my ballot i would also vote for "all misery/flowers"
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 25 May 2021 14:50 (three years ago) link
wow i had no idea they turned "candy cane crawl" into such a live epic, wish they'd done that on record

is "faded" the greatest power ballad ever or what
― ufo, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 10:02 (three years ago) link
yes
― intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 11:16 (three years ago) link
btw 'faded' > 'purple rain'

going through it all now....
Up In It is great, standout cuts are definitely Hey Cuz & I Know Your Little Secret.
omg rhythm section on I'm Her Slave and Turn On The Water so amazing. John Curley probably the best rock bassist of the 90s?
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:10 (three years ago) link
fuck and Conjure Me. oh god it's one of those polls where I listen through and just make a note of every single song on some albums and just cry at having to get the poll down to a reasonable length.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:16 (three years ago) link
John Curley probably the best rock bassist of the 90s?
thats a bold claim but i was listening to Gentlemen a couple of days back, and was definitely struck by just how tight and punchy the bass tones are on that
― building a hole (NickB), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:32 (three years ago) link
for the sakes of that bold claim i am filing John Wm. Sims as 80s.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 14:57 (three years ago) link
covers ballot? nearly as hard as tracks
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:01 (three years ago) link
btw that frank ocean cover they did in 2012... is the best
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
Right? I don't know how I'm going to vote in any of this.xp
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
does backbeat count for the covers poll? i assume yes
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:22 (three years ago) link
not that i plan on voting for any of it lol
i am however definitely going to vote for "the temple" which is my favorite non-"miles iz dead" song on congregation
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:36 (three years ago) link
Forgot about that, backbeat, I mean. How exactly is it relevant again?
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link
Faded is great, Black Love is great overall, but its second half is really superb eh.
Also I agree with whoever was repping for Bonnie Brae upthread, it's gonna be high up on my list if I can find it a spot! Lockless too.
― Will (kruezer2), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link

better than the original (which i like) by a lot imo
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link
always enjoyed the cheekiness of putting "train in vain" drums under their cover of "lost in the supermarket"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:39 (three years ago) link
and then singing "stand by me" and "train in vain" over the outro
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:43 (three years ago) link
Cool, never heard that before!
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:51 (three years ago) link
I mean didn't know they covered that song, never mind the other stuff.
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:53 (three years ago) link
also highly recommend their cover of tlc's "creep"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:54 (three years ago) link
Cool again, thanks again.Does anyone stan for "Every Little Thing She Does is Magic"?
― Blue Yoda No. 9 (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 19:58 (three years ago) link
yeah, creep was on the honky's ladder ep, i played it to death! xp

my favorite thing about their "creep" is that it isn't a transformation like some of their other cover version, but actually a very reverent, faithful rendition
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link
he does quite like to sing one song's lyrics over another song's music
eg touch me i'm sick/i touch myself/let it all hang out or mother/dr jimmy/ holocaust/in the mouth a desert during live versions of 'you my flower'
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:10 (three years ago) link
does that all the time with his own songs too, mostly on opening tracks iirc
― building a hole (NickB), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:13 (three years ago) link
one song that the whigs haven't covered but definitely should is neil young's "powderfinger"
― the mai tai quinn (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link
yeah if you really want
their wiki page says the whigs did cover "like a hurricane" live in the past but i can't find any recordings
their "lost in a supermarket" cover is certainly one of my favourites, it's one where i could make the case it's better than the original, and the original is one of my very favourite clash songs too
― ufo, Wednesday, 26 May 2021 20:55 (three years ago) link
Backbeat soundtrack seems missing from streaming, although one can find the OCR of the musical version.

one last shout-out for late period whigs, "oriole" is the best song ever
