What a reminder! It’s been a long time since I listened to them. Eyesore is my second favorite, though.

Link seems dead. Honestly, I wouldn't mind something heavy for a change 😁
Since we're talking about outlaws 😍 I'm looking forward to this. I've fallen a bit behind and only recently started digging into Shepherd... The guy can't miss, even if he tried. It's basically written in stone.
Lately, I've been looping an old favorite singer-songwriter. It always hits that soothing spot for me. 🙂

But man, that final scene in Blow Out? That last shot is easily one of the greatest moments in cinema history. At least if you ask me. It’s a good scream
Ufff, a heavy, unforgettable moment. Whenever someone brings up Brian De Palma, that specific part is what hits me first. Haven't watched it in ages, but Travolta's expression is burned into my brain.

-Robin Williams in Carlito's Way
☕
Carlito's Way is my personal favorite.
Say hello to my little friend! - a line heard in bedrooms all around the world 😁
Robin had the sharpest tributes alongside Rickles during those awards...
>, >, then >. In that order. I’ve always liked it when key movie moments go down at train stations or depots.😁
Jamie Davis9 said:Exactly. Now that my friends who are scattered all over the country are finally heading back home, we can actually hang out. Plus, my mom will probably whip up something decent to eat. :D
Man, sounds like a hell of a vacation. 🙂 If they happen to stumble into a groove somewhere—maybe play a few wrong notes by accident—that’ll be the whole thing.
Jamie Davis9 said:Mexicans, apparently. )) I just caught the language and didn't really pay attention to the band's name.
Instead of hitting the coast this summer, I grabbed my bike and headed out on an eight-day trek through the Midwest. This song just happened to be blasting from my portable speaker. 😁 Spent two days in a small town along the Mississippi. Caught one of the most beautiful sunrises I've ever seen right over the river. Turns out, there's a group of Mexican workers nearby—completely innocent bystanders—who are now my first mental association whenever I think of the Mississippi. 😁 It was fine. It was alright. 🙂
Back in high school, I actually had those American Outlaws posters on my wall. A friend gave them to me at this local dive bar where we used to hang out all the time back then.
Guess what just popped into my head? The assassination of Jesse James. My obsession with the American Outlaws started all the way back in high school. 😁
I can't work with just "vs." Give me some actual text to rewrite.
So, back where I grew up, we have two different seagull monuments. One is a monument to the revolution... Seagulls' Wings 😳 And the other one is just as much of a monument to revolution—only this one’s dedicated to our eternal emperor and seagull. I don't know what you're talking about.. 🙄
Richard Fox63, did you make it to the Rainy Night in Seattle concert? Got some work to knock out today. I’m traveling the day after tomorrow in the evening, so I want to get everything squared away now. But first, I'm grabbing coffee for an hour. :D
Just a little something for you guys. American Jews. Good morning. :) Greetings from the UK market.
This is pretty good. I think Chloe Wilson46 might actually dig this. 🙂
Yeah, I somehow managed to make it up to the embankment. For the first ten minutes or so, you couldn't tell if the main act was the rain or the band. 😁It was absolutely pouring, and the thunder was relentless... Things finally settled down after a while. It turned into a really laid-back, stripped-back set. The crowd wasn't huge, but you could tell everyone was just hungry for some live music. 🙂
So you're heading out of town soon too... excited to see the seagulls? 😁
Just signing up for this thread 😁 . 🙂notsoevil praise for the title.🧐 Just letting you know I'm lurking and reading along.
Small things, like finding some forgotten concert uploaded online, make me pretty happy. It's been a few months now, and I'm still feeling it.😁 Now that I've said it out loud, they'll probably just take it down tomorrow.🙄 It’s about the Pips and their God—specifically promoting that album "Phenomenal Day," which toured theaters in several cities. Supposedly, attendance was low everywhere except in New York City. It marks the end of a major lineup that leaves us with a handful of unforgettable performances and one killer collection of songs. Despite all the chaos, everything somehow fell into place. Musically and lyrically, it’s easily their strongest album, at least regarding that original lineup. That's how it usually works: when something disappears, something else beautiful grows from it—like trees and rivers—but that's a different story entirely. Darkness, Rosita, Narco, God, Sao Paolo, Coach... it's hard to choose. Really hard. Every single one carries a specific memory, an emotion, or an event. The Sao Paolo part—and I definitely need to get out of here—is one of my favorite Pips moments. Coach has this specific vibe; that song was on every compilation and hits every note. Your Avari tribe is waiting for you. Darkness... what can I say? One of their peaks. Trying to make sense of their longest track yet is quite the undertaking. The music video is fantastic. Even today, if someone walks into my office, I tell them: take off your hat and relax. Rosita is classic pop-rock, basically made for the radio. God lives up to the album title—a total classic. I love everything except—and don't cry in public 😁 vidati... you can already hear the ideas for the next record; it feels like a reliable older brother or sister, I don't know. Motorcycle Boy is that shadowy track that sticks in your head after a few listens—it's where time stands still for a moment. Narco... that intro is intense. Our friend Samuel (better known as Srđan) played the sitar on it. That's the number where the band truly tore themselves apart and paid the highest price. The result is probably the most beautiful song on the album. Because at the end of the day, you won't know if I'm kidding, but you'll be sure who 🙂 . Time flies. I remember us singing "How is it, how is it!?" back in the early 2000s. Somewhere in a National Park, haha. It was good to see them again, even if it was just through a recording. I've been listening to the concert often since it was re-uploaded. Sometimes it takes me back to those uncertain but beautiful teenage years at the turn of the millennium... Brown beer bottles and blue Walters for a couple of bucks.😁
I agree 😁 regarding those albums mentioned earlier, specifically Wilco - Being There and Swans - The Seer.
I’d also throw these into the mix: Joanna Newsom - Have One on Me, This Mortal Coil - Blood, The Flaming Lips - Embryonic, and The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs.
But I have to highlight Unwound and their swan song from 2001, the double album Leaves Turn Inside You, as one of my all-time favorites. It’s hard to pin down a single genre for them without being reductive. 😁 If I had to say, much like their earlier stuff, it’s rooted in post-hardcore, punk, noise, and math rock. With this final record, they really pushed their sonic experimentation further—the two-minute drone at the start of "We Invent You," those gorgeous vocal harmonies on "Demons Sing Love Songs," the orchestration and haunting vibe of "Radio Gra," the layered guitar parts reminiscent of My Bloody Valentine on "One Lick Less," the interplay between guitar and cello during the psychotic second half of "Terminus," and then returning to their roots with the raw energy of "Scarlette"... It’s an album that hits you with a massive range of emotions, yet it can deliver several different moods within a single track, like my favorite long cut, "Below the Salt." Basically, a perfect swan song for a great band.
A few days ago, they dropped the first song from the new record, The Magic Whip. It was recorded in Hong Kong (as if that matters) and features 12 tracks. Release date is April 27th. Besides the usual online pre-orders, you'll be able to pick up the album at all the decent record stores.😁 I was a little skeptical about the intro, Go Out, but after a few listens, it makes sense. I think it'll be an okay album, even though it's been 12-13 years since their last great one, Think Tanak. And Coxon's guitar is back in the mix. It seems to me that neither Albarn nor Coxon, as the main creative forces, are the types to just release anything. It’s like they’re being forced to. They could have easily used their solo projects to keep filling Central Park once a year or playing festivals across America and the rest of the world—it's not like they lack the demand. Maybe the chemistry is still there, or they just got the gang back together because they feel they actually have something worth offering. Anyway, it would be nice if the brothers reunited too, so we can get Battle Vol.2 in 2015.😁
