I bought this album on Monday and I love it. Anyone else got it?

I missed out on the chance to see them live last night 'cos I went to see The Walkmen (who were not that impressive) which I am a bit gutted about.

Yet more fantastic Scandanavian pop. The lead singer has a voice that is in danger of melting hearts. Beautiful.

Your comments on this band please.

Listen to Nine Black Alps.

so, i just bought this concretes album. it is fantastic. i would describe them as the raveonettes mixed with sigur ros.

i also picked up the new Secret Machines, the Wren's 'meadowlands', and neko case's 'blacklisted.' great music all around.

I bet. bastard!



I bet you never thought your movie would turn out this way
You crossed the other way, youd hope i wouldnt see you, you say youre doing fine, but thats not what it looks like, your undercovers on...

Homers_pet_monkey Posted - 06/29/2004 : 15:05:57
Haha, I was only kidding. I didn't expect you to answer it. Made me laugh just asking it though.

I refuse to answer that question. Any way, i dont really smoke when i dance. Too much hassle.

Haha, ya know what, I have no idea either. i think i was talking about the night in general, not the fact that si thought id killed you.

But yeah, it was a very good night, and i thouroughly enjoyed it, BUT simon did give it a lot of hype....which made my expectations to be very high.

Damn it. Why don't they hold dances like that where I come from? Pixes? Pavement? I've never gone dancing before in my life. That is mostly due to the shitty music they play at these dance clubs. Now if they were playing the Pixies, that would be a whole different story. I always just end up locking myself in my room and rockin' out by myself. Oh, and back to the topic of the Concretes, I'm listening to that single now, and it is pretty cool. I guess it is a little generic sounding, but that is because I'm only really half listening. I like the horns.

You did look a little worse for wear by the end of the night. Bumble was convinced id killed you or something. and that was good,. very good

I probably danced to it...there was little I didnt dance too...I dont remember really leaving the dance floor. apart from the occasional breaks..ahem.

You didnt only dance to pixies, you danced to pavement too bumble!!

By the way, i dont know which one of you it was, but we were having a conversation and i ran off cos sonic youth came on...so sorry for being so rude!

On topic : I bought the concretes single on 7"...and then realised i have no way of playing it any more!!! But yeah, from what ive heard they seem alright. ill give em a proper listen eventually.

Wannabe? I hated them!

Anyway, you said that hat suited me. Don't get cocky now that you are not in slapping distance.

And I only missed one, and that was 'cos I lost the ability to walk, let alone dance.

Listen to Nine Black Alps.
bumblebeeboy2 Posted - 06/27/2004 : 14:30:31
i danced to all the pixies songs, unlike a certain new radicals wannabe...

Homers_pet_monkey Posted - 06/27/2004 : 14:26:59
I know you didn't. You didn't dance much at all.

Listen to Nine Black Alps.
bumblebeeboy2 Posted - 06/27/2004 : 14:26:15
i didn't.

Homers_pet_monkey Posted - 06/27/2004 : 13:35:47
Yippee! I am so glad you like it. I requested it last night at the club I was in with Mel and Bumble. I think Mel may have danced to it. I know I did. It is such a good song.

HPM, I've been trying to download the record since you posted this topic. When I get it and give it a few spins, I'll post in here like nobody's business.

HPM, I just downloaded "You can't hurry love." And...I like it, I like it a lot. I'm going to get a few more tracks, and will definatly have to pick up the album. Good call! It's always nice to hear good stuff you've never heard before. Another reason why the forum is so kickass. Kickass!...

It's OK, it's just in the arm.

I think someone should start another music ring set of threads, that's good for suggesting new music and everyone gets a shot.

Thanks Remig.

Listen to Nine Black Alps.

It seems people here are not that interested in anything new in music, as nobody ever respond to posts about new bands (my last topic for example).
I downloaded that song, i'll listen to it tomorrow.
Homers_pet_monkey Posted - 06/25/2004 : 15:20:08
I am not gonna let this topic die until somebody listens to them. At least download their new single, 'You Can't Hurry Love' (not a cover).

Listen to Nine Black Alps.
