Fall Saddles
the melody where he is sining "I listened to your taped epistle to Rachel" makes my spine go all tingly
I wish I could write songs like that.
waterfalls.
Yep, Waterfalls sounded great last night
or Gemini
Gemini also
but i think i've listened to it too much :S
Rubber Traits
"cut my DNA with rubber traits
Pull apart the double helix like wishbone"
Always be working on a suiciiiiiide note
Its the
Animal Collective-y "ooh-ee-ooohs" in the background that make that song for me.
Its so hard to pick just one but my top few at the moment would be These Few Presidents, Simeon's Dilemma and Gemini.
Thanks to last night I have a newfound appreciation for A Sky For Shoeing Horses Under. Amazing playingggg
definitely :D
the bit where he sings 'but i want, but i want, but OOOOH!' is so great :D
after we saw them at ATP
me and my friend kept singing that line all weekend, love it.
Sounds
a bit gay to me.
come to think of it we did often
have our dicks in each others asses when it happened.
this sounds physiologically unlikely
...
It seems to change
all the time for me
But at the moment my favourites are 'Fatalist Palmistry' and 'Sanddollars'
the hollows
for me
and me
I've just remembered
'Song of the sad assassin' and 'a sky for shoeing horses under'
fuck i don't know. i love why?
At the moment it's
Song of the Sad Assassin. It made tears come out of my eyes when they played it at Primavera, specifically the line
"her face turned red, and she said to me. I'll suck the marrow out and break your hollow bones Yoni"
it's 'rape' not break :(
i think that makes it better though
wellity wellity wellity
still an ace line
Afterschool America
Fatalist palmistry
^ this
Greatest opening lines ever.
A catchy mother lover. No doubt.
no
love for 'Good Friday'?
for shame!
Dirty Glass
probably
At the moment
Crushed Bones - because the build up and strange beatdown style is awesome.
The Hollows - Mainly for the "all my homies warned me OH NO! those gypsies probably got knives!" part.
500 Fingernails - Just because its mint.
Afterschool America - Because its the first song I heard and started my slight obsession.
^
these are probably my other favourites thinking about it. But still...
GODDAMN IT YONI YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING RIGHT <3
good friday
sending sexy sms's to my ex's new man, cause i can.
gemini
..and they played it both london gigs, too!
or rubber traits, or 'we few presidents, or.. etc
i love the 'do you still pray about me' bit in fall saddles, and it was the first why? song i heard.
the fall of mr fifths
Simeon's dilema
It never seems to get mentioned yet the ratio of redundant pithy little lines to actual genuinly good lyricism and narrative is really low.
"stalker's my whole style" is brilliant. As is the whole verse of
"are you a female, young messiah?
for stowaways and dugouts and
are you what church folk mean by the good news pulling plastic bags off heads
or are you giving me a dirty look in the rear-view
flicking the button on your u-haul pen
dont pretend you didnt see me coming round the bend
on my fixy with a chopped horns turned in
trailing behind you biodeisel bins"
That's all gold. "I know a psychic who reads her own palms and the findings are personal" is NOT gold.
yes yes yes yes yes
yes_. I mentioned it up tharr ^. The way the drums and music builds up on 'don't pretend you didn't see me coming round the bend' does things to my soul...
did 'Why?' do that song where he goes
'even though I haven't seen you in years / yours is a funeral I'd fly to from anywhere'?
I get that stuck in my head a lot even though I've probably only hear Alopecia once in my life.
It is 'why?' isn't it? Which song is it, so I can get more aquainted.
Yuss
'These Few Presidents' off Alopecia
it is, yes.
All The Presidents Men.
ALLLLLLLL THHEEEEEEE
PPPPPREEEEEEESSSSSSSSIDNETNS MENNNNENNNN
one of my favourite lines
is it dark or romantic? i can't decide
I hate that line
it's rubbish
Yeah I don't get the love for it either
Especially amongst some of the other lines.
Yeah
"Cheery A, Cheery E, Cheery I, Cheery O, Cheery U" makes me cringe too. I still love Why? though.
He makes up for it with lines like "If you grew up with white boys who only read black and puertorican porno because they want something that their dad don't got, then you know where you're at". Brilliant.
i love why? so so much.
probably gemini, with fall saddles a close second. and then these few presidents. and crushed bones. and simeon's dilemma. oh man, i dunno, i can't pick.
500 FINGERNAILS RIGHT NOW
but it was Waterfalls yesterday and will probably be Miss Ohio's Nameless by tonight. cheers.
Light Leaves
or Yo Yo Bye Bye.
'there's no mound of clouds to lounge on'
<3
The Hollows
The Hollows and Gemini for me.
