The Living End rock it out.

But anyway, I've always wondered why you guys don't fall of the globe? I mean, since you live on the underside of the earth and all, logically you would fall off. But you don't. What's up with that?

I've always wondered that. I heard somewhere about this thing called gravity though? But I dunno...

I heard that on days with low gravity, erections are wide-spread.

So anyways I saw Bloc Party and they were pretty darn good. Better than they were at Reading. Great long set :thumb:

As for the support band Chromeo, I don't think I've laughed and been entertained that much since I saw GLC. Chromeo = Michael Jackson crossed with rock basically. Chromeo is a 3-piece: One 'pretty fly for a white guy' on guitar (a flying-V he uses might I add) and occassional vocals, secondly basically a great drummer, typical experienced session drummer, used electronic pads etc..toight as toiger. But then lastly on keys, occasional bass and vocals (but the vocals always had that weird effect on them, like vox guitar but without the guitar, I dunno) was this guy who looked like a suave rapper basically who, using his vocal effects, sunbg like a mutha****a! Great, hilarious and ingenious with songs like 'Meaty Girl'. Check them out!

Iai 03-06-2005 01:00 PM

I've heard of Chromeo before. Can't think where, though.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I went up to a cabin on Lake Burton with my lady and we had lotsa fun. We also listened to [SIZE=7][color=red][i]I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning[/i] by Bright Eyes[/color][/size] a lot. We really did. I'm not just f[color=white]u[/color]cking with Zmev.

I seriously don't see why Bright Eyes have all this hype and are supposedly one of the best bands ever or of our era, everyone is creaming themselves over their cds and seeing them live (e.g. a few friends of mine) and I have heard the cds and I basically think 'meh'!

talk show host 03-06-2005 02:57 PM

I'm not tremendously keen on them, to be honest.

sweboy 03-06-2005 02:57 PM

Who the hell are Bright Eyes anyway?

JonM 03-06-2005 02:57 PM

Actually, I loved [i]Wide Awake[/i] and [i]Digital Ash[/i] so much, and I went back and listened to [i]Lifted[/i] and [i]Fevers and Mirrors[/i] and all the earlier stuff that's supposed to be so much better and all I heard was trite, maudlin, gag-me-with-a-spoon emo crap. The two new records, [i]Wide Awake[/i] in particular, deserve all the acclaim they got, but the rest? Forget it.

That's pretty much what's always said about the new records. I need to check them out.

JonM 03-06-2005 03:03 PM

Yeah you do. They're nothing alike, really. It's almost like a different band. [i]Digital Ash[/i] is all electronic and dark, and [i]Wide Awake[/i] is all gorgeous, evocative folkiness. They're both good things, just totally different.

pixiesfanyo 03-06-2005 03:13 PM

I don't like Bright Eyes that much acutally.

The occasional song, but probably the most uselessly acclaimed band of the '00s.

JonM 03-06-2005 03:17 PM

I would agree with you up until these new records. Perhaps they don't make up for the over-hype Bright Eyes records have been getting since [i]Lifted[/i], but finally he's done something worthy, and it's [i]REALLY[/i] worthy.
