[Jacaranda]

[perriwinkle]

another morning stoner is pretty much the only song i listen to of theirs, that and it was there that i saw you

[Zmev]

You need Sources Tags and Codes and Worlds Apart.

[Jacaranda]

wtf worlds apart sucks ***

get madonna

[Zmev]

Have you heard Caterwaul?

[Jacaranda]

have you heard the lyrics

[Jacaranda]

Look at those cunts on MTV
with their cars and cribs and rings and ****.
Is that what being a celebrity means?
Look boys and girls, heres BBC.
See corpses, rapes, and amputees.
What do you think now of the American dream?

[Zmev]

i dont listen for the lyrics :o

[Jacaranda]

but seriously madonna is just as good as anything else

madonna = source tags > s/t > worlds apart

[Zmev]

Worlds Apart > So Divided

[Jacaranda]

[Jacaranda]

[Interstate]

I had Sources, Tags & Codes but I lost it. I remember it being pretty good though.

[niobium]

waiting for ydloads input

[YDload]

band rules but not anymore i guess

[Correction]

source tags was good

then band went homosexual

[PatchworkNeurology]

I got all their cd's, the early stuff is great.
Even the later stuff up untill now has some decent standout tracks.

Another morning stoner rules.

So does it was there that I saw you, and will you smile for me again?

[perriwinkle]

i'm 4 and some mins thru will you smile again live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4zL8VXCGxU and its really not that good
makes me want to watch drive like jehu live
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOxV9UChgUY mmmmmmm yes

[YDload]

i thought you were already a Trail of Dead fan. well in that case what YOU need is the album Madonna. start with that first you'll probably be okay. this is a perri-specific post, i know what u want.

[perriwinkle]

ooo sexy boi u ;] well ill take your word for it and pick that up

like i said i have source tags but have only listened to it through like once or twice or maybve never because i dont even remember specifically doing so. but i do know that one time i had 'it was there that i saw you' stuck in my head after not having listened to it for a whle and i was like man UGH that sounds so gooood what is thatttt!?!?!? (this also happened once with the heavy shouting part in Can - Mushroom Boy but since it was just that part i didnt think to consider Can, was thinkin about more punk/hc bands) and when i realized it was Trail of Dead that i was looking for i started to appreciate that song a whole lot more, and i played Another Morning Stoner on my show several times before i was really familiar with it, honestly mostly because i hear you jerkin that song off all the time sayin its the best and it actually is really good too. still havent give the rest of a cd much of a chance, but ill check out Madonna

[YDload]

it took me several tries to really get into STAC too. probably because the songs sound very similar to each other at first. but i knew right away "that second track, whatever it is... really good"

[perriwinkle]

gettin Madonna now btw

[perriwinkle]

listenin to Madonna... i'm jsut on Mistakes and Regrets and its really grabbing me like an opener should, i bet the album is awesome all together. i hope they slow down sometimes and do some interesting Unwound type stuff

[Hedgedive]

can anyone link me to some RARs plz?

I have none of their albums, I just like what I've heard via intraweb and on this mix CD my friend made.

[Zmev]

[Hedgedive]

zmev shoots he scores!!

[Jacaranda]

a perfect teenhood is the best song on madonna and prolly my favorite ToD besides baudelaire

[cbmartinez]

source tags and madonna plz

most of the other stuff is pretty worthless

[perriwinkle]

i like his voice. i'm playin thru madonna again right now and it's actually on a perfect teenhood this second (checked which track it was when i read jac's post) and yeah this is an excellent song. i like when they change the pace/rhythm of the song like they do in this song and in track 3

[Liebensaft]

Only listened to STAC once, but I remember thinking "some of this is really good and I'd probably like it a lot if I kept listening to it." I have a terrible habit of taking forever to revisit music I'm relatively unfamiliar with though.

[perriwinkle]

yea just start it cuz the first 2 tracks are bommmmbbbbbbbbbbb diggity yo yo y o yo oyoyo

[team_racket]

Never listened to Madonna, but Source tags and Worlds apart were great albums.

I heard So Divided blew.

[YDload]

this aint a mercy mission
this is target practice

[cbmartinez]

source tags and codes is close to perfect I'd say, great album

[okay]

source tags and codes is the most overrated album of all time

[cbmartinez]

:(:(:(:(

[okay]

; everyone always talks about how perfect it is and how good it is but i dont hear anything special, and ive given it numerous chances

[perriwinkle]

all im sayin is

first two tracks ****in ruuuule

[cbmartinez]

yeah the first two tracks are great another morning stoner is def their best track but you'll come to love the rest

relative ways is so good

[perriwinkle]

also i've listend to Madonna like sevvveral times through, and every single time, tracks like 5 through 11 just kinda blow past me, and i start paying attention again when Perfvect Teenhood comes on

[Jacaranda]

another morning stoner is not their best song ffs

[YDload]

it is.

source tags and codes (the title track) is better in the context of the album, but AMS works even as a single

[Jacaranda]

nah.
i'd take baudelaire homage and maybe even days of being wild over it

jason reece > conrad keely

[YDload]

keely has that stupid whiny voice BUT he just happens to play on all my favorite songs (except Caterwaul)

[Jacaranda]

jason also likes unwound

can't remember did you see them live ydload?

[YDload]

im sure everyone in that band likes unwound. they're thanked in the liner notes of STAC

no ive never seen them live. but im excited about the prospect of it ever since someone said they dont play So Divided songs live :D

[Jacaranda]

aye they've disowned that album and new album out in september i guess w/o label so maybe it'll be more madonna/self titled/stac like hopefully.
their one of like 5 bands that i would travel like 4-5 hours to see again.

kinda wish neil busch would get back with them though

ya i don't read linear notes i just remember him talking about them in interview.

[YDload]

neil busch has some pretty cool basslines in STAC... when you can hear them. but the bass really isn't the point. im mature enough as a bassist to be able to enjoy music that doesnt put it front and center (like Trail of Dead influences Sonic Youth and MBV)

[cbmartinez]

the basslines on stac are siqqqqq

[YDload]

esp. how near how far and of course... ANOTHER MORNING STONER BEST SONG EVER

[Zmev]

But as TIME WENT ONNN
I WONDER WHAT WENT WRONG
I WONDER WHAT BECAMEEEE

[YDload]

LET ME HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS DEAR and
LET ME MELT IN THE HEAT OF YOUR GAY-EEZ

[Zmev]

Why. They. Forced Your Voice To Change
From Silence To A Caterwaul?

[YDload]

What was I to say? How was I to know?
~*was it ur soft voice that said so*~

[Zmev]

let it DIVEEEE
let it DIEEEEE
let it FAADDDEEE out of SIGHTTTT

[Motown]

band sux

[YDload]

you can tell us all about it when you're burning in hell for sacrilege

[Motown]

i know dem by the trail of bad songs

[Zmev]

so divided more like so crappy but thats it.

[PatchworkNeurology]

Source Tags is great stuff, I kinda get into everything this band has done.

BTW Another Morning Stoner ftw!

[niobium]

it took me three years to decide this but

source tags & codes is very good. borderline great. at least when that occasion strikes to listen to it, otherwise it can sound very meaningless and jumbled

yes another morning stoner is one of the greatest singles of this decade

[Bukowski]

i think Source Tags & Codes was the first album i ever got thanks to praise from this forum, back in early 2005. it's got some great songs, for sure. "relative ways" was my favourite.

[YDload]

yeah thats what made me get it too. also pitchfork's 10.0, which is a pretty bad way to judge music normally, but this time they were right.
