The Reigning Sound kinda came out of nowhere to blow me away...i'd heard of leader Greg Cartwright's earlier stuff, like the Oblivians, and i liked his 'zine Wipeout, but this dylanesque combo he's formed is the best stuff he's done by far. i love the organ sound, the songwriting, the lyrics...it's the whole works, people. Laura and TN, you ever seen them? they are memphis locals.

holy crap, complete indifference to one of the best songs i'd heard all last year.

could be time to hang up SotD.

Or time to play better music....

Truth is we are all just greedy whores sucking up your SoTD's like a 0.10 popsicle in a heat wave and can't be bothered to comment.

 

[McGRP01]

Or that....

 

[narlus]

Or time to play better music....

true.

but c'mon, this particular song slays!

er, i mean

 

[jdcamb]

true.

Uhh. Its OK. Not SOTD quality. Sorry.

 

[Toshi]

why i don't comment immediately is because i usually don't have my headphone setup plugged in, and playing anything musical on the built in speaker on this computer does it no justice whatsoever... if i get bored today and don't get called in i'll go through and bump a whole bunch of old sotd threads with comments

 

[BurlyShirley]

I've actually NEVER listened to ONE sotd

Im sure it's really good though...

 

[jdcamb]

SOTD rocks. Kind of like the GM thread. I look for it everyday.

 

[binary visions]

Just listened to it.

I liked it, in that if it were on a CD with other good songs I would listen with interest. I didn't like it enough that I'd seek it out on my playlist like I would with some of the other SOTDs.

But SOTD definitely rocks, even if I don't comment every time. I feel like my comments get stale: "I liked it." "I didn't like it that much." "This rocked! I want more" - I mean, how often can you hear those half dozen feelings worded differently?

that would suck.

better than dylan because you can understand him...

 

[narlus]

ok, you have allayed my self-pitying ways.

BS, what did you think about the floyd boots i sent you?

Gnarlus Barkley - Don't get worked up. I have a SOTD playlist on my Ipod - it kicks ass, and this song (like every SOTD) ended up in there - but it's not the best on the list by far.

Meanwhile - I thought of you - I just found out I missed Yo La Tengo in Prospect Park, doing a free show, providing a live soundtrack to the film Sounds of Science! Damn, can't believe I missed it!:mumble:

 

[narlus]

dammit, i've not seen YLT in a long time, probably 6 years at least. not sure why, i guess they haven't been where i have.

the new record's great, you hear a leak of it yet?

 

[jdcamb]

Esther be the one!

Nope, I have not heard it, but of course, if you want to send me one.... you have my address...

 

[Toshi]

hmm, not so hot on this track. reminds me of well-done country-meets-folk-meets-the-muppets...

D maj: I --- IV -- V64 -- V -- I -- IV -- V ------- I, etc. with walking bass, not too much there. kinda cool B C natural C sharp riff going on, i guess

overall i would not rock this song in my car with the windows down for fear that passers-by might sneer.

 

[narlus]

what could be more punk rock than making common passersby sneer?
