"yessed out"?

you know, in and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky, and they stand there. I'd like to know.

Ah crap, the formatting screwed up my lovely ascii art.

I fucking love "Yours Is No Disgrace" so damn much. What a beautiful, beautiful song. Howe's playing on the whole Yes Album just blows me away.

I grew listening to WIOT out of Toledo, Ohio, and when 90120 came out they used to play "Our Song" all the time because it had that line "Toledo is just another stop along the good king's highway". Like, they actually thought it was about Toledo, Ohio!!

I can try, guy upthread. It's late in the great plains. There are many threads with new answers. Many of these new answers seem to involve Yes references. In the daytime this doesn't happen. The question is is this some strange phenomenon? What are its roots? Should something be done about it? Or should it just go on? I think it should. But am I wrong? Why? That is the question.

― trevor horn, Friday, 27 August 2004 04:43 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

grew up listening. damn, why I have been doing that dropping words thing so much lately??

Yes fans jonesing for more YESSOUNDS should totally check out those two latter-day Os Mutantes LPs, by the way. When they got all progged-out. Total Yes homages.

Pleasant Plains, one down one to go, another town and one more show.

― Monetizing Eyeballs (diamond), Friday, 27 August 2004 04:45 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Or to put it another way. Say I'm a veteran ILMer. "I think I'm appalled by these shenanigans. Yes. . . . No!" Is this an ILM death knell? That would be an interesting meta-discussion that will not occur.

― trevor horn, Friday, 27 August 2004 04:47 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Oh. See, I haven't EVER listened to a Yes song before (exception proving rule would be "Owner of a Lonely Heart" which I rather like) so all that's been going right over my head.

I thought "yessed out" was some sort of cockney slang for "sucking it's own dick" or somethin'.

― Forksclovetofu (Forksclovetofu), Friday, 27 August 2004 04:48 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

a few days ago, i felt like that dude in the "owner of a lonely heart" video when he was on the rooftop surrounded by the oh-so menacing members of yes (circa '84, so no rick wakeman [the ONLY vaguely scary member of yes EVAH]).

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Friday, 27 August 2004 04:49 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Forksclove, you should ditch the indie rock and pick up The Yes Album and Fragile toot sweet. Two of the finest albums on God's green, sticky, hydroponic earth.

ME OTM, though that's not where the goodness stops by any means.

― Ian c=====8 (orion), Friday, 27 August 2004 04:51 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Jon Anderson could potentially be scary in an evil elf-leprechaun sort of way.

Your mention of the "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" video reminded me there was one version that had a guy with maggots crawling around on top of his closed eyelids. Did "Fear Factor" rip off this idea? I think MTV stopped showing that version.

― wetmink (wetmink), Friday, 27 August 2004 04:53 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

speaking of the raincoats cds (er, on another thread tonight), those os mutantes reissues on omplattern are now OOP and worth $$$$. i actually parted with mine at some point, for reasons i don't quite understand.

i love yes. sometimes i'll be walking around and suddenly a bass line from some yes song will pop into my head and i'll be all excited.

would that ilm actually were a bit more yessed out.

― amateur!!!st (amateurist), Friday, 27 August 2004 04:54 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Hm. Well I'll certainly give it a run. Anybody who wants to mail a representative single or two is welcome to.

One of my (many) large gaps of musical knowledge is rock of any variety from 1970-1985 or so.

The really technical part of "Heart of the Sunrise" is killer.

Was this NAMM in Anaheim in like 96? At one of those shows I heard rumors that Jon Anderson was there and I was pissed that I never saw him. But for all I know he goes to all of them...

― wetmink (wetmink), Friday, 27 August 2004 05:20 (thirteen years ago) Permalink

Okay I guess he's not so here's his story of spotting Jon Anderson at NAMM

at a booth that sells vocoder software there is a man earnestly saying in a silvery, elven speaking voice reminiscent of Glinda the Good Witch "no, no, NO, you don't understand. I want to make my computer-" and here he erupts into a shivery high melodious flutter "s-i-i-iing!" and it's HIM and he's singing the word "sing" in THAT Yes voice.

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Tuesday, 21 December 2004 17:24 (twelve years ago) Permalink

ahh, side A of 'close to the edge' has really been doing it for me lately. i love all those drum fills that go right through the first ONE beat and splash back in somewhere in the middle of the bar. anothe reason of why i like it so much is because it kind of reminds of this local band here called form of rocket that does similar type things (fast, frenetic parts / churning, odd time signatures / that drum fill thing)

I always see a Dean landscape, or some Art Nouveau P. Craig Russell planet landscape whenever I listen to Yes. Except for Yes mach-90125 and onward.

These words spring into my mind often. I didn't know what they meant when I was younger and listened to Yes, partially because I was not just surrounded by myself, I was also full of myself. I was covered in myself and clothed in myself and swimming through a sea myself only to get to an island of myself, alone on a planet of myself, spinning through a universe of myself.

Just had a listen to some ARW, and like, damn Jon Anderson sounds good. I'll take Howe over Rabin all day (though Howe has been sounding not so hot lately...) but Anderson is just killing it, even sloppy old Rick Wakeman sounds better than Downes, and I like Downes a lot. I'm probably the biggest Drama stan on this board but still I gotta say, ARW pretty much blows Yes out of the water

So, have you guys noticed this thing where the intro for 'Roundabout' is being used in meme-esque video clips where some sort of collision or confrontation is imminent. Except, right when the collision/whatever is going to happen, the video freezes just as the whole band joins in and 'Roundabout' begins, with a "To be continued" text somewhere on the screen. And that's it.

Where does this come from? I find it equally intriguing and hilarious that 'Roundabout' has found its way into "meme culture" in such a random way. And I find that every time someone uses it in one of their videos, the funnier it gets for me.
