any album-title you could conscionably add 'yeah' on the end of in regular speech isn't worth adopting imo

your mind works in such bizarre ways

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

ozymandias' labia pt. I: the cum-drops of evermore, yeah?

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

The problem with that proscription is that you can add "yeah" on the end of anything.

xp: dammit max I was about to post that

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:31 (fourteen years ago) link

there's surely something offensively platitudinous about 'This Is Happening', isn't there?

no not really

goole, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link

guys I'm not sure but I think there might be a song called "yeah"

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link

xpost Come on it's Jams Murphy - he subject to different criteria. Every gesture he makes is filtered through this jokey/sincerity dichotomy. I'd agree if like Sufjan or Lady Gaga called their hotly-anticipated album 'This is Happening'.

Although i kind of see yr point.

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:32 (fourteen years ago) link

the title is fairly crap but i don't think it's worth getting offended over

I can't wait until this album leaks. This thread will be bananas.

Davek (davek_00), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link

im boycotting the album on the grounds of it being too corporate

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Mashed Bananas and Jams

Bonnie Prince Stabby (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:34 (fourteen years ago) link

Just remembered that the words 'this is happening' form part of the title of my favourite self-penned poem - I retreat in shame anew

That frog is swollen with immanence

Bonnie Prince Stabby (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:35 (fourteen years ago) link

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:35 (fourteen years ago) link

fwiw nakh I got the 'DIOYY?' reference

j0rdslovesomedude (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:35 (fourteen years ago) link

dfa site has gone down due to the shitness of the title

mdskltr (blueski), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link

corporate buzzsite dfa taken down by incensed franz ferdinand fans

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:36 (fourteen years ago) link

Okay Lady Gaga is a difficult example...Jay-Z better?

Venus in Fursuit (Future_Perfect), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:40 (fourteen years ago) link

Joanna Newsom should call her next album "This is Harpening."

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:40 (fourteen years ago) link

n/a on fire today

Mr. Que, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:41 (fourteen years ago) link

I retreat in shame anew

Nononononononononono. Post the fucking poem.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:46 (fourteen years ago) link

DO NOT POST THE FUCKING POEM (in this thread, start a new one)

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:47 (fourteen years ago) link

it's fucking 16 sides of A4 long and there are bits where it's oddly formatted

j0rdslovesomedude (acoleuthic), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:47 (fourteen years ago) link

please post

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:49 (fourteen years ago) link

GIS for A4 long turns this up:

kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:49 (fourteen years ago) link

That looks like more than a 4 to me.

Bonnie Prince Stabby (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 16:55 (fourteen years ago) link

is this happening?

does oxymandias have labia?

juan the intern (The Reverend), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 17:14 (fourteen years ago) link

Merriam-Webster says:

Main Entry: happening
Function: noun
Date: 1551

1 : something that happens : occurrence
2 : an event or series of events designed to evoke a spontaneous reaction to sensory, emotional, or spiritual stimuli
3 : something (as an event) that is particularly interesting, entertaining, or important

Thinking the second and/or third definitions are most relevant to this album.

I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 17:23 (fourteen years ago) link

I'm pretty sure it's also going to be something that happens though.

congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link

an "occurrence" if you will

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 17:58 (fourteen years ago) link

kinda wish he'd titled it This is Sparta

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:01 (fourteen years ago) link

fails the 'yeah' test

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:04 (fourteen years ago) link

This is Sparta, Yeah?

STAY ALIVE USING EQUIPMENT (HI DERE), Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:05 (fourteen years ago) link

the last words of a lost athenian warrior

iatee, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:06 (fourteen years ago) link

Hah awesome, love the title/art. Just trying to think what the cover reminds me of...some early-to-mid 80s early CD art by an established artist, no?

This has been killing me for the last couple hours. Bruce Springsteen's The River is almost it, but not quite.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:17 (fourteen years ago) link

it reminds you of franz ferdinand, and corporations

max, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:18 (fourteen years ago) link

No! I don't even understand that! Isn't Franz Ferdinand's aesthetic like Eastern Bloc propaganda or something?

kingkongvsgodzilla, Tuesday, 30 March 2010 18:20 (fourteen years ago) link

Man, Franz Ferdinand. Missing 2004 right now.
