Prometheon

Personally, I'm a big fan of busting out John Travolta's moves from Saturday Night Fever during the latest 'club mix' of whatever dance garbage is popular that week. I remember this house party once, where I didn't know anyone there, and I was called by 'Southern' the entire time becasue I was carying around a 26er of Southern Comfort. Me and my buddy decided to take over after the band that was rocking in the basement took a break to get wasted. Lots of alcohol + attempted musicianship=a huge failure. "Who the fuck is playing our shit!" "Yo guy, that's just Southern..."

Yeah, imagining New Wave in a similar vein as what he did with Advertising, it would have been pure sexyness. And I can still dream of an acoustic version of Carmelina...

Wow, that sounds amazing. Being a drummer myself, I would have loved to experiance something like that. Didja get an autograph or anything?

Yeah, awesome topic. ;) Rodchester Kings - And In Closing... - Message to God Broken - Folk Singer Left Of Normal - Casual Walks/Go Fly Blind Euphony - Euphony 15 Hours On A September Thursday - This 'album' is SO good. Parable, LotGA, and the Ocean are all tied to me. Last Of The Ghetto Astronauts - Native Son Raygun - Haven't Slept in Years Underdogs - Everything is Automatic Lo Fi B-Sides - Fated Beautiful Midnight - Depending on my mood, either Running for Home or Failing the Rorscach Test Loser Anthems - The Fine Art of Falling Apart Audio Of Being - Tripoli/Advertising Avalanche - Hmmm....Bright End of Nowhere White Light Rock And Roll Review - Another toughie...Been Awhile Since I Was Your Man In A Coma - Hmmm...Tripoli is awesome and so it Big City Life. Others: (B-Sides): Can't get Shot in the Back

Just gotta say that I too thought it was 'dyin`' Cuz baby I was dyin Wasn't the whole world at the time?

Ah the wonderful world of cannibalism: it ain't just for praying mantises and tribal savages anymore!

I'm also a big fan of It's a Good Life if you Don't Weaken.

I haven't heard the slow version of X-Rated, but the re-worked 'darker' version of SWW with the extra verse at the end is amazing.

Avalanche is my least favourite Matty CD. I actuallt find it one of his worst ones lyrically. Look at the structure of a lot of the songs, like Pledge, Bright End of Nowhere and Long Way Down. He basically just repeats the same verse but changes a few words. It makes the songs feel very repetitive to me, and he's continued this trend a couple times on WLRARR as well. Here's an example in case you don't know what I'm talking about. On Bright End of Nowhere (which is probably my favourie song on that CD, but it illustrates the point very well): Here's the bright end of nowhere Here's the results of all our days Used to lay on the roof and drink beer And try and count up all the ways That you could waste away Looking back it seemed so simple But having done it I couldn't say . . Chorus . . So here's the bright end of nowhere Here's the commercial of all our days Go on vacation and drink beer And try and forget all the ways We let ourselves get away Looking back it seemed so simple But having done it It's not the same It's things like this that give the songs a 'double chorus' feel. It's like, verse-->chorus-->repeat verse but change a word or two-->repeat chorus call it a song. I just wasn't huge on that.

^ Actually, I'm nearly positive he's referring to how we evolved from the sea, but now we've destroyed our own origins with pollution and neglect.

I only have one thing to contribute, and I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but here's a little nursery rhyme for those who piss on the seat and are assholes about it. If you sprinkle when you tinkle Be a sweety, wipe the seaty

It was either "Dreams are just goals without deadlines" or "Goals are just dreams with deadlines."

Heh, surprisingly, I HATE the chorus to Advertising, but I love the two verses.

Jeezus, that acoustic version is incredible. I positively love it.

American History X Donny Darko Gladiator Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Fight Club The Shawshank Redemption ...lots of other stuff that I can't really rate.

I'm a huge Stephen King fan, so I'm gonna go with the Dark Tower series, The Stand, and Green Mile. Some other awesome books: David Sedaris-Me Talk Pretty One Day (Sedaris is brilliant, he will make you laugh out loud more than any other author I've encountered) Richard Bach-Illusions (just a beautiful and concise story)

You can even see some of Euphony's influence (the room with a view line) in Vermillion. And Joe's in Trouble and Casual Walks are both brilliant as well. The songs just all have their own cool little feel and identity, and they all tell a story in themselves.

Awesome. Thanks a ton!

World in my Eyes-Depeche Mode

The thing is I onlt have a crappy hotmail account, which doesn't have ebough storage for a full song. Maybe put it up as a yousendit link or lemmie know if you have MSN so we can do it over that? Thanks.

Awesome. Thanks a ton for those SWW lyrics.

I'm looking primarily for the shortened version and the acoustic version (which everyone is raving about.) Any help would be appreciated, thanks a lot.

Yeah, I have a lot of the 'classic' SNES games. FF2 and 3, Super Metroid, Link to the Past, a few of the Kirby titles, Super Mario Brothers... Ah memories... ;)
