Had tickets to see them in 2009 when they were up in Lowell and ended up giving mine to my son to take one of his ho's so I missed out on that. That's when I put them on my bucket list. Always been a big fan of Dexter Holland and I'm perfectly content to leave after they're done but I'll be with my daughter and her husband so I'll hang and ck out Sublime with Rome as they're now called.

"Noodles" Wasserman didn't make the European leg of the tour so I hope he's back. They've been on the road for 6 months now so we'll see how it goes.

They didn't breakout as a band until 1993. Prior to that, they'd have been almost exclusively in SoCal.

The lead singer has master's degree in biochem engineering, IIRC. That's a smart guy singing some mostly lowbrow stuff.

Oh, I don't think they're lowbrow at all. Like Bad Religion, NOFX, DKs and many rap artists, they pitch both low and high at the same time, which takes a ton of talent and planning.

I have their first couple albums, urr, CDs, from when they were first released. Their singles were all pretty simple and catchy. The smart songs, those with social commentary and such, were all b-sides, if CDs had b-sides.

That's how it's done. Use the money from the apes to finance the product for the humans. c.f. Steve Martin.

Listening to Obscured by Clouds

Been stale on my song learning for a few years now and in an effort to play more and pointlessly veg on the couch less, trying a goal of learning one new song a week.

Currently - Wot's... uh the Deal by Floyd.

Always meant to do that one and it's ever more lyrically appropriate for me.


Just started this a couple weeks ago, but so far so good.

Others tackled so far:

Eddy's Song by Sticky Fingers
Society by Eddie Vedder
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 4: Songs She Sang to Me, Songs She Brang to Me

So, New Order is touring. There's a whole credit card commercial or something based on that. Told a friend a few weeks ago that I don't think I could go see them, since Peter Hook isn't in the band anymore. If you know the band, you know what an integral part of their sound his bass playing is. Maybe THE part of their sound. Stuff I've heard from their latest album without him, and the songs sound more traditionally structured in their use of the bass as an instrument.

So yesterday, I see that Peter Hook is touring, roughly the same time. And in Boston. Ordered tickets immediately. Apparently he's performing both New Order's and Joy Division's Substance albums(singles collections) in their entirety. Now this should be fun.

Husked Du will be on rotation all weekend, it's been too long.

I can't believe Grant Hart is gone. ****...

I think it would have been possible for a reunion despite what Grant and Bob were saying. The current reissue lent promise of better communications.

Sat to the left of and 6 rows from the stage. My ears finally stopped bleeding. Offspring kicked a*s and tore down the house. The 4 of them set the stage on fire. If you like them, see them. Well worth the price of admission. Sublime with Rome seemed more like a cover band to me.

This is a beautiful song with lyrics that so loudly resonate with the world today.

I'm curious if anyone checked that song out. I keep going back to it. I had never heard of them until it was played while listening to my stations on iHeart. Apparently they were quite big in the UK & Europe but it doesn't sound like they ever had much of a following across the pond.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 4: Songs She Sang to Me, Songs She Brang to Me

Full binge mode on the Floyd since that Gilmour thingy in the theater - I do this when I see a band live and it's weird, but it felt like I went to a show last week.

Grabbed another 15-20 shows from Yeeshkul, so my ratio took a hit but I have a substantial live Floyd collection and just keep adding to it.

In the past week...

Animals
Meddle
Division Bell (yes, I actually like this one)
The Endless River
Is this the Life We Really Want
Rattle That Lock
Gilmour - In Concert
Remember That Night
Atom Heart Mother
Obscured

Gilmour - 7/11/16 Verona, Italy

Waters - 7/26/84 Rosemont with Clapton in his band
Waters - 7/22/17 Chicago show I saw

Floyd - 11/21/70 Montreux
4/28/72 Chicago
8/6/80 London
9/22/87 Toronto
8/21/94 Berlin
9/17/94 Modena


No end in sight as I now have those 15-20 new shows to check out.

Of course I've listened to other things interspersed, but I've got an itch to scratch right now.

Currently hearing 6/22/94 from the Humpty Dump.

Were you there Slap?


EDIT: This Metrodome show is outstanding. David is into this one for sure - very engaged. Really good sound too. Odd, but I can hear the room - not really an echo, but rather sound in a really BIG enclosed space. Cool.

Oh yeah and that Youtube video that you (SS) linked gives and error message that it hasn't been made available in this country.

ahhh ****. No VPN? :p

Maybe this will work. If not the song is If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next by Manic Street Preachers.

That works.

What about my other question. Were you at that Floyd show?
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 4: Songs She Sang to Me, Songs She Brang to Me

Sorry I missed that. Yes I was at that show. For as lousy as the sound was typically at the HHH for concerts Floyd pulled off an amazing atmosphere and the set list was tremendous, dominated by older works although iirc they didn't play anything from Animals which would have been my only minor complaint.
