I suddenly feel bad for Zappa's future roommates. I'm all empathetic like that.

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist]am i the only one who finds that Wire song incredibly boring and bad?[/QUOTE]

in terms of boredom, it pales in comparison to the title track. they shouldn't have ever attempted to break the three-minute mark until they made more normal songs later in their career.

Zappa 08-23-2006 10:10 PM

Oh man, I think the title track absolutely roars. But I don't dislike any of the songs on [I]Pink Flag[/I].

asdf 08-23-2006 10:59 PM

I don't like this. Since my brother is moving away, he installed the last.fm program on his computer, but he's still using the same account that we had both been using, forcing me to get a new account.

I don't like starting over :(

Anxious 08-23-2006 11:16 PM

Thats pretty retarded.

omg, this semi-famous 90s rock song is actually a ripoff of "Three-Girl Rhumba" by Wire.

or at least, that one riff sounds kinda similar, iono :o[/QUOTE]

I thought most people already knew this.

Anxious 08-23-2006 11:17 PM

They don't

Well_Respected_Man 08-23-2006 11:40 PM

that song sucked.

Matt? 08-23-2006 11:46 PM

i think it's dumb when people call bands out on plagierising when the chord progression is really a by the books kind of thing

Well_Respected_Man 08-24-2006 12:16 AM

Oh I just remembered. There was a lawsuit involved with that song. This is the group that got sued. ha.

YDload 08-24-2006 12:21 AM

[QUOTE=Excursions]I thought most people already knew this.[/QUOTE]

"most people" don't know who Wire is. and that song i posted is probably pretty well-known even if most people can't name the artist/title (just like The Breeders' "Cannonball" or ATDI's "One-Armed Scissor).

but Alt/Indie is special and we should know these things :)

Post-Jawbreaker

Singer Blake Schwarzenbach went on to form the New York City-based band Jets to Brazil, which has also since broken up. Between bands, he found work as a freelance writer, even writing a few game reviews for Gamespot. He is now an adjunct English professor at Hunter College in New York City.

That's one way to get into a band.

sweboy 08-24-2006 06:48 AM

George Best? Aw man, so that's why it doesn't work, all this time I've doing it as Bobby Charlton. :(

sketchyjoe 08-24-2006 06:51 AM

The combover is not a good look on anyone.

plebeian scum 08-24-2006 09:41 AM

I'm going to see the Flaming Lips and Sonic Youth tonight at the MN State Fair. It should be crazy-good. It's outdoors and I've heard their shows are insane. I'm hoping it won't rain last night. I'm going with a girl that's pretty sweet. Looking forward to that aspect as well.

ATM 08-24-2006 09:48 AM

Sounds good.

I'm seeing the Flaming Lips at the end of September :-D

Well_Respected_Man 08-24-2006 12:16 PM

I went on a dub journey with the local college of enginering today on my way to get my hair cut and through the park. That was awesome. The guys were hippies too talking poetry and enlightenment. Bathing in a soup of sound.

Further UK chart hit singles followed: "Connection" and "Waking Up". In 1995 there was a lawsuit from Wire claiming that many of the band's melodies were taken from Wire compositions. Notably, Wire's "I Am the Fly" has a chorus similar to Elastica's "Line Up", and the intro of "Connection" is nearly identical to Wire's "Three Girl Rhumba". Indeed the band had originally intended to sample the intro of the song directly. The Stranglers also passed comment that Elastica's "Waking Up" bore a marked resemblance to their song "No More Heroes". The band did not deny these accusations and were not ashamed by these similarities, stating that all pop bands have borrowed ideas and all music was eventually recycled.

haha what a bunch of fags

Anxious 08-24-2006 03:48 PM

I hope Wire saw some money from that.
