it made me want to wave at them :):)thanks a lot, guys
I started with "Everything’s fine" and liked it, although I’ll give it some more & closer listens some time soon.* * * * *
yesterday, I’ve seen the great duo Swearing at Motorists from Ohio, who are on the quality label Secretly Canadian
To compare them with the White Stripes would do them wrong, because they do have a good basis of their own repertoire, which grew steadily over the years, and they’re by no means an imitation or something, but the similarities are also there, as they are a duo out of a singer/guitar player and a (male) drummer, also their music has got the same kind of influences out of Rock, Blues and a bit of Country, with a lot of lo-fi appeal.The guitar player/singer Dave Doughman is apparently a big lot into playing and performing, which is to conclude from the way he kneels into the songs with high energy and passion, while the drummer drums along rather stoically. From what I’ve heard they were on tour almost throughout the last couple of years, so they currently couldn’t say, where exactly their home is
The tiny club was rather full with about 50 people, who were very much into this intimate and pleasing show. the band offered to hang out with them after the show, but unfortunately it was way past midnight & I had to leave.

The other week I’ve seen Interpol.
It was a show which appeared almost as a mainstream show, as the band’s popularity has grown a lot around here, and the quite big hall was sold out with over 1000 people — there were many young girls & students, who passionately sang along with all of the songs. But nevertheless I’m still very into the both Interpol albums, and so I enjoyed the gig myself quite a lotobviously "Show me the way" seems to be a matter of taste…
it’s true, it kinda doesn’t fit with the rest of the record, as well as Poledo, but for me, both songs belong to the record, and it always impressed me how it’s possible to do a cool cover version of a Peter Frampton song
I can’t find the facts on keeblin.com about that song not being on the vinyl version of YLAOM, but it’s true I’ve heard something like that before, either.
don’t forget to meet us there tomorrow!
I forgot to post the essential link for starters: http://www.slsknet.org
Willard Grant Conspiracy sounds worth while to take a closer look. but they skipped Hamburg on their tour schedule, so I don’t have the chance to see them live this tour. but maybe I’ll get me one of their albums to check them out. which one would you guys recommend for a start?
"Robert" wrote:well to enlighten you sceptics I can inform you that Flying Cloud was kind enough to sort out that problem for me and made the pics show.
I am glad that you take an interest in my mental health though. It is very nice of both of you.oh dear, I forgot to post a "fixed now" post, now they query your sanity, Robert
cool to know closer details about the reissues
but yeah, Jeremiah’s list of songs which also could be included is also cool. I wonder if there is any chance to extend the track lists?
I always liked "Show me The way", it’s hard to understand why a song which has originally been on the record will be kicked out but "Just Like Heaven" on there is cool of course, as well as the videos mentioned
so, how about next Sunday??
…starting at about noon in Eastern Standard Time (which is 5 pm in London and 6 pm in central Europe)
everyone’s welcome, and if there’s anyone new to soulseek, don’t hesitate to ask any kind of questions here or in the room, we’ll try our best to guide you around
seeing Robert being the Master of Defused Farms
