City And Colour

[mrs jesus]

did you touch him?!

[Dan #2]

I've touched most of them / met all of them.

[saturnine]

and i touched dan. i win.

[mrs jesus]

no, you didn't, and no, you don't

[Instant-Karma]

he (dallas) has a lot of talent but his CD is boring, who wants to listen to boring music?

[andydanger]

agreed, it's one of the most boring albums of last year... he's so overrated, i doubt anyone would listen to it if alexis wasn't doing so well. On the otherhand, his contribution to neverending white lights is excellent.

[mrs jesus]

actually, i would never have listened to alexisonfire if not for dallas, so my interest in city and colour has nothing to do with their success.

[Steveo91]

I hate alexisonfire, but i picked up the city and colour cd and if you're in the mood for some mellow music it does the trick

Hey all, I recorded the City and Colour show in Edmonton yesterday (March 24) and am currently torrenting it over at Dimeadozen. You have to sign up with them to download the torrent, but it's a pretty quick process. Sometimes they reach the 100,000 max user limit, and if that is the case just check back in an hour or two as the constantly remove old/dead accounts.

 

The show was at the same venue Matthew Good was at the night before so the quality is really good. Check it out at: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=88459

I don't know how you could find his stuff bland and boring, but hey, that's your opinion. I find his music is incredible, just for the talent he has and the intensity he applies it with. That being said, some of his best stuff isn't even on his album. Try and check out Serravale, This Sudden Injury, Urgency, and the different version of Sam Malone (it's more strummy, and a superior version, if you ask me).

 

I was drawn to his music when I heard he was first starting this solo stuff, being a big Alexisonfire fan, but even if I hadn't already known him from his band, I would have enjoyed his material nonetheless.

[andielicious]

I'm personally a fan of Hello, I'm In Delaware. And Casey's Song. The Grace by Neverending White Lights is a phenomenal song that I never get sick of. I find Dallas' voice very soothing. Overall, a big fan of his solo stuff. Not big into Alexisonfire. That's just my two cents.

[CaptainRocket]

He closed the Edmonton show with Happiness by the Kilowatt, which I thought was really cool.

The only reason i haven't curb stomped him is because he's in alexisonfire.

 

Naw, i don't hate his solo stuff, it's just like the epitome of everything i dislike about pop music, so it shall be the target of my anger. It's actually not that bad, compared to half the shit out there.

 

That and i would actually be interested to here the Happiness 'cover.'

 

 

I really hope that City and COlour means that Dallas will fuck off and let Alexisonfire be about polarbears and white men again. I blame him for their decent into emodom, whether that blame is unfounded or not.

Wow. That is really well done.

 

As for whether or not he deserves a curbstomp or not, i will put the album on again and get back to you.

 

 

(because you know i'd A: actually do that over something as trivial as a solo album and B: i am just being silly, i'm not taking this all seriously at all)

 

 

 

 

PS~ i think it's funny that star fucking hipsterz like Dine Alone throw the phrase "can't keep up with the new trends" around. THEY deserve the curbstomping.

This may be slightly off topic, but anyone else in here who is kinda into alexisonfire that thinks they would be much better off if the screamy guy just shut the hell up?

[CaptainRocket]

That is what makes Alexisonfire Alexisonfire. So no.

there are a lot of people that think that. They're called "pussies."

[mrs jesus]

i think aof songs are way better when dallas is doing the singing.

 

oh damn, guess i'm a pussy.

i'm not a pussy! you're a pussy, pussy!

[Mike]

Dallas Green is an incredible singer. The CD is definitely worth keeping.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

This band has such an embarassing fanbase.

it's opinion, not being a pussy.

 

I don't think i've made one serious comment since i started this thread.

 

This band has such an embarassing fanbase.

Like every band has such an embarrassing fan base.

 

Or maybe i just don't like social groups of douches.

[i_the_throwaway]

I loved the first Alexis CD, but I thought Watch Out! was a big improvement. Meh, to each his own I guess.

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

On their albums, Dallas has a pretty prominent role.

 

If George were to leave Alexisonfire.... Their live shows would be boring as hell. That man is one of the most entertaining showmen I've seen in a while.

 

As for Dallas' side project: I was expecting a lot. The stuff I did like, I loved. The stuff I didn't, well, that's what the "next-track" button is for.

 

I got my money's worth, so I'm happy.

 

But I NEED that Happiness by the Kilowatt recording in my blood. It's awesome.

 

Still dig the Alexisonfire version more, though.
