Chicago: More Bars in More Places

Brass band "Idiotheque"?

no

Brass "Creep"?

ILX 2You have tried to insert a duplicate message.

"Clocks"?

Theme song to "Hill Street Blues"?

Brass band "Holland, 1945"

(Neutral Milk Hotel)

Secret: C4n4st4 rips off "Clocks" in at least a couple of different songs, although by "rips off" I just mean having the piano do an arpeggiated 3-3-2 meter.

I have thought for a while that some NMH songs had a vaguely zydeco/New Orleans rhythmic feel to them, so it might work.

Set list:
1. "Sanford and Son Theme"
2. "We Are All Made of Stars"
3. "TV Party Tonight"
4. "Anarchy In The UK"
5. "Fast Car"
6. (encore) "Don't Know Why" (fast)

They were straight out of fucking Ruston, LA, too.

"Sanford and Son Theme"

We already do this

freddie's dead by curtis mayfield?

or (personal favorite) "the young mods' forgotten story" by the impressions.

that opening blast from the horns kills me every time.

My eyes must be going totally fucking wacko: I thought that arch on the right was R2-D2 for a second.

ew I hate "Pony"

haha i think "pony" is disgusting/hilarious

better without lyrics, with coordinated gyration

!!! Pony is like the best song ever!!!

the production grosses me out. all those...noises.

Um Jordan, I don't know what to tell you about Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities. The main dude has a few albums with different personel. His last album was credited to Skeletons and the Girl-Faced Boys and was called "Git!" and was good too, though a little slicker/poppier than the new one. A bunch of us saw them live a year or so ago and they were really different than they sound on the albums, way more noisier/jammier and less song-y. If you like that one song, you would probably like the whole "Lucas" album, the sound is pretty consistent throughout.

If I were an ILM dork, I would say that song is one of Timbaland's like top 5 production jobs.

Another reason why WXRT is pretty much the best commercial radio station, despite playing entirely too much Hootie: one time, the DJ followed up the Regular Guy's review of Freddy vs. Jason with "Freddie's Dead." You can't claim that ClearChannel preprogrammed that from a remote location.

I think Ginuwine sings real pretty. I actually can't help but listen to that song whenever it's on the radio but it also makes me cringe.

How do you feel about the "In Your Jeans" song?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qurW5mnaxAM

I don't really remember how "Pony" goes -- I think I only downloaded it after Nick raved about it one time, and I don't recall hearing it on the radio (must've been in my Dark Period). I do often sing "In Those Jeans," though.

haha xpost

I am sort of eh about the song, but I am loving the literalism of the video.

"baby can I get in those jeans" while pointing to jeans=awesome.

god now i'm voluntarily listening to "Pony" Nick what have you done.

I'm sort of fascinated by the grossness, I guess

ginuwine's '100% ginuwine' is a front to back great record. i have both vinyl + cd versions

thats the one before 'in those jeans' but after 'pony'

http://youtube.com/watch?v=07Z4SZKkf88

http://youtube.com/watch?v=r5c1WXftnQ0

both of those are from it, one of my favorite R&B records ever and probably the best front-to-back timbaland record as well*

*a lot of ppl probably disagree about this and i'm sure folks could make a good case for a missy record

i don't remember "in those jeans" at all
also i haven't heard "pony" in a bajillion years so my memory is not to be trusted

all i remember is serious literal pony riding in the video

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_Ny0uQQq3bw

^^^ok so i guess there were three videos from this album

Ginuwine is awesome. What's that video where he's dancing with the broom?

R&B is gay.

I sucked so bad at tennis tonight. I should be fired.

Can you recycle gum wrappers?

I chew a lot of gum during school, and it seems like all of those gum wrappers just go to waste.

(I'm talking about those foil/paper wrappers found on Extra gum)

^^ Why I want to strangle me a Freecycler.

Lots of kids use the paper part of the wrapper to make bracelets. You fold them and hook them together somehow. Do a search...I'm sure you'll find instructions.

I would hope that these people are all 18 years old or under.

It took me a while, but I finally got the thread title's reference. I had assumed it was referring to actual bars.

I have shame.

Oh. I still don't get it.

Oh. I might be dumb.

Surely referencing the Verizon Wireless commercials, right?

Cingular.

Featuring Chicago's skyline, geese, and other things to represent an exceptional degree of cellular reception.

R&B is gay.
