Prettiest Song You'll Hear Today
sorry, i'm going to see the Jayhawks tonight. this doesn't even chart.
Have I ever told you that I find the Jayhawks super-boring?Originally Posted by Help!I'maRock!
yes. you're still wrong.
They're still boring.
Scott Miller & The Commonwealth/V-Roys > Jayhawks
that said...
The song posted by SN sucks just about as hard as anything has ever sucked. Just IMHO of course. No need to get all butthurt about it, bros.
I think the forumites here are broken.
Instead of Johnny 5, someone should have disassembled Apt # 5.
man, the V-Roys. i saw them open up for GSW back in the late 90s at the Wetlands. Steve Earle guested with them during the set. always dug them.
You've surprised me. I was just trying to get your goat because I thought I remembered you saying that you didn't like the V-Roys way back in the day on HC. If you really do like them, however, I'll send you a bunch of stuff. They have to be in my top-5 favorite bands.
I've only ever heard some Jayhawks clips at a Borders listening station. You want to swap some tunes?
i mean, they were never my favorite, but i dug them.
tuneswap in effect. will try to get you something by Sunday.
No...not the prettiest song I will hear today.
Yet another friend of Jack...
Cool. I'll send something your way pretty soon.
Oh! She said "fuck." That's edgy!
I don't think that "edginess" is the point, yo.
Christ! That sucked a bag of dicks.
So you didn't like it? I think it's great.Christ! That sucked a bag of dicks.
I didn't enjoy that very much, no.

Friend of Jack
And the Yayhoos > the V-Roys. I'm just sayin'...
Disagree, but that seems like a cool band.
Christ! That sucked a bag of dicks.
OK, I'm listening. It's pretty... Pretty darn terrible... But, for each their own, I guess...
Some V-Roys to get yer head right!
What, exactly, do you like about it?
The Casio keyboard drum track?
The incredibly boring guitar riff that goes on and on and on and on and on?
The atonal, caterwauling vocals?
The out of tune guitar noodling?
The "beep bop boop" computer noises?
Seriously, how the fuck does anyone actually enjoy listening to that?
I kinda liked it
she sounds like that gal from Nerdy Girl, who we played with back when it was a 2pc group.
oh,and would.
I like the whole damn thing. I dig the arrangement. Dig the guitar. Love the vocals. Like the lyrics. The mood is great. I just think its really pretty.What, exactly, do you like about it?

I saw that they're re-releasing two of their albums with some unheard songs on them. I will get those.
This may be the first time I've totally agreed with you. I love me some Yayhoos.
Not everything can be Night Ranger.What, exactly, do you like about it?

I liked that song a lot.
Stay thirsty my friends.
not bad but I listened to this today so to answer your statement ...the song below is the prettiest song you'll hear today
It's a bit precious for my tastes.
Yeah, it was half "female Ben Folds with fuzzy wall-of-sound guitars and a drum machine" and half "Cyndi Lauper without the vocal confidence, style, charisma, etc." A little bit of syncopation/funk would really have gone a long way on that one.
It's kind of curious how Sad Nav can dismiss stuff like the Decemberists and Grizzly Bear as "twee" and "precious", yet eat this up. I don't get it, yet.
Get that girl a bucket so she can carry the tune in it.
My ears are bleeding.
You also have to factor in fussiness. Grizzly Bear's stuff sound labored over and/or like the work of music majors. The Decemberists' stuff just doesn't click for me. I think the theatricality puts me off.

It's become a favorite word of pop music critics over the past couple of years.twee?
meaning what?
overly sugary, sorta thing?
frilly, pointless fluff?
can't say I've ever heard it.
then again, I don't recall the last time I read anything a pop music critic wrote

Frank Zappa is music for people with repressed scat fetishes.
i like Ella & Louis too.
They're even better when separate.i like Ella & Louis too.
i like them seperately too. i do really like that 3 disc set though.They're even better when separate.
Ella had been a star in her own right for about 20 years by the time those LPs were recorded, and yet she was still so starstruck by Armstrong that she insisted on performing virtually all of the material in whatever keys felt most comfortable for him.
interesting.
I just listened to Air Waves for the first time this week. I can dig it.
