Sarah I found some footage of some terrible bands playing at meridian coffeehouse but it's really dark and you can't see anything.

Nick, it looks like there are two videos. I was watching the first one.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:02 (sixteen years ago) link
Can I tell you what they were?
1. walking on stones (some looped) 2. walking on pavement 3. leaves being torn 4. leaf eating a carrot

It kind of blows my mind that people I know started that improv troupe (Matt P. came up with the name) and now there are kids 14 years younger than them who are in it, who have no connection with that original cast.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:05 (sixteen years ago) link
I liked the looping effects.
We should organize a giant get-together through the ages.

I think there was talk a couple years ago about doing a reunion show at Homecoming.

Actually, in that second video, someone is using a cell phone and is scrolling through their address book and L1za B1elby is in it.

i didn't watch that one!

i don't mind saying 'my husband' even though it still feels weird, but i really hated saying 'my fiance' and pretty much called him my boyfriend or if forced to say 'my fiance' would do it in a jokey way.
why does firefox spelling thing correct 'fiance'? they want toby to be a girl!

I had to stop after a minute because I was afraid I'd get too embarrassed.
nah. They look like they're having fun!

I remember being on vacation with my family somewhere in India and me sitting around the hotel room waiting for lame Asian MTV to play the video for "Easy." I don't think they ever did. I love that song too, though it's weird how faithful it is to the original.

Eazy should cover that song.

I always liked the cover art for that song.

also I wish I could change my ILX name to "your menstruating heart."
Half of the people in my band are big Faith No More fans.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:51 (sixteen years ago) link
I think I am the only big FNM fan in the FFs, but I'm big enough of a fan that I make up for the other two.
― n/a, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:52 (sixteen years ago) link
I want to change my screen name to "another body murdered" after the song they did with Boo-Yeah T.R.I.B.E.
― dan m, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Actually I know I am the only big FNM fan in the FFs.
I didn't even know they covered it! When I heard it, I probably just assumed it was the Commodores version and changed channels.

Why did I never get into Tribe Called Quest? I went to Dusty Groove for the first time yesterday and they were playing Midnight Marauders, and it sounded fantastic.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I would like to hear John's band cover Faith No More, for real. It would be so different that it would be transformed and fresh.
I don't think I've heard a whole Faith No More album, but "Midlife Crisis" is one of the few college rock songs I liked in college.
― Eazy, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:54 (sixteen years ago) link
I listened to a cassette of my radio show last weekend. I still like everything I played. I sound oddly quite a bit like John on the air.
― Eazy, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 16:55 (sixteen years ago) link
I only ever had the first album but FNM is great.

It's not from the same album, but "I Left my Wallet in El Segundo" was my and my neighbor kid's theme song for a summer in like 6th or 7th grade. We had no idea what it was about.

I have "why did I never get into" moments so often that they're just part of listening to music. Don't fret, John, just pick up a copy of The Low End Theory.

I mean, in light of the fact that in 1993 I owned these three albums:

A friend in high school put a couple of Tribe songs (like "Bonita Applebum") on mixtapes, but I've never heard a whole album.
― jaymc, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 17:02 (sixteen years ago) link
On Tribe's first album:
Although now heralded as a classic, at the time of its inception it was met with less fanfare. Chuck Eddy of Rolling Stone wrote that the album "is one of the least danceable rap albums ever" and he went on to say "it's impossible to imagine how people will put this music to use"[2].
― jaymc, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 17:04 (sixteen years ago) link
Haha, I had DP and US3 too.

Blowout Comb >>>>>>> Reachin'. Still sadly underrated.

Reachin' is still one of my favorite albums ever.

really? Well, I haven't heard it in years, so I'll hold my tongue.

guys cococoma are LOUD
― river wolf, Wednesday, 19 September 2007 17:08 (sixteen years ago) link
And Blowout Comb is really good, too, it just had the misfortune of being released after I'd turned my back on hip-hop and so I haven't spent nearly as much time with it as I have with Reachin'.

I guess those hippie drum circles in MT weren't loud enough to keep the earplugs in yr bag anymore?

I love watching L1sa play drums, btw. She grins like a maniac and I just like her smile.

If I were her friend I'd just go around trying to make her grin all the time so I could see it.
