their "Silent Morning" is not as good as the freestyle track of the same name by Noel.

is "Heaven" as good as the Talking Heads track by the same name?

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 19:57 (twenty years ago) link

is the album as good as the gogogoairheart album?

*cough*

― adaml (adaml), Wednesday, 15 October 2003 19:57 (twenty years ago) link

It's a different Heaven but it's also quite good. They already had a ballad on the album.

My friend who has the gogogoairheart album says there's only one good song! I've only heard one song from it but I agree that there is at least one good song

three weeks pass...

Should I go see them tonight?

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:41 (twenty years ago) link

If I don't, I might go to a bar that's playing all Smiths/Morrissey records all night long. Those are my choices.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:41 (twenty years ago) link

RAPTURE!!!!!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:44 (twenty years ago) link

RATPURE!!!!

― jed (jed_e_3), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:51 (twenty years ago) link

jaymc you should go see them, it probably would be a lot more fun than listening to Smiths records all night long (whaddaya depressed or something?). Plus they're playing with VHS or Beta?, old Louisville friends of mine who are fun and disco-y, if you like that sorta thing.

― chopped liver, Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:52 (twenty years ago) link

Haha, I think you're right. I've been in a dancey mood lately. Only as of right now, I know people who are going to the Smiths thing (it's at Club Foot), and I don't know anyone who's going to the Rapture. Time to make some phone calls, maybe.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 November 2003 19:55 (twenty years ago) link

Go see them, definitely dude, it's a wild night out. Really I cannot recommend it enough.

I can't find that Black Strobe remix of Sister Saviour on Slsk but I try on.

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:01 (twenty years ago) link

the only thing that has ever made me laugh on ILX is seeing "The Retpure" as a threat title. dead-on.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:04 (twenty years ago) link

*"The Ratpure" !!! this plague is spreading. unfortunately my own typo did not make me laugh whatsoever. not even a chuckle.

― Dean Gulberry (deangulberry), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:05 (twenty years ago) link

jay where are you?? they're playing in minneapolis tomorrow and i am THERE (FAP if you see this twincitians, but you're all going already anyway, roight?)

― typo acapulco (gcannon), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:16 (twenty years ago) link

he's in Chicago, they're playing the Metro tonight.

― chopped liver, Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:18 (twenty years ago) link

Uh, what Stence said.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:23 (twenty years ago) link

re the Mpls show: I am going (for FREE) with a longtime friend so keep your eyes peeled for muttonchops, word

― nate detritus (natedetritus), Thursday, 6 November 2003 20:37 (twenty years ago) link

I'm thinking of going in SF.

― @d@ml (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:28 (twenty years ago) link

I suppose they're playing in LA again too. Might catch them if I can, certainly the last show was goodness.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:30 (twenty years ago) link

i will be in sf and la. no casiotone this time, unfortunately.

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:32 (twenty years ago) link

are they playing philly? perhaps my glowing review from a newspaper in another state will get me in.

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:33 (twenty years ago) link

december 12th. maybe you'll get in... if the disco santa is in a good mood next month.

― ms.claus (laurenp), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:38 (twenty years ago) link

yay, i can be reminded why i hate live music so much.

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:40 (twenty years ago) link

"hey, jolly green, down in front."

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:41 (twenty years ago) link

But jess, aren't you like, taller than everyone else?

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:42 (twenty years ago) link

I think he just pointed out the downside, see.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:43 (twenty years ago) link

on the other hand, you might get a lump of coal.

― evil reindeer (laurenp), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:44 (twenty years ago) link

hence the "jolly green" (plus his clothes are made of leaves)

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:44 (twenty years ago) link

these guys are good to see live, you can shake your hips

― cinniblount (James Blount), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:45 (twenty years ago) link

when will i find a litle green sprout to call my own

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:45 (twenty years ago) link

okay, that was just wrong

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:45 (twenty years ago) link

and my hips are only good for breeding

― strongo hulkington's ghost (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:46 (twenty years ago) link

Ok, I'm slow obv. Because see, I'm kinda short so I'm usually the one grousing; I projected onto jess' statement.

Anyway, I was thinking of going to that Chicago show tonight but I've already been in that shithole (the Metro) once this week, and I realized I've only heard "House of Jealous Lovers" and I only really wanted to hang out for Tommie Sunshine's dj set afterwards anyway. Plus I have no $$.

― Broheems (diamond), Thursday, 6 November 2003 21:48 (twenty years ago) link

is the album as good as the gogogoairheart album?

there are no DFA tracks on the gogogo so obviously nearly every track on the rapture album blows the exittheuxa out of the water. taken on it's own terms, however, i think the gogogo album is great. they just lack a deadly-efficient dance moves. i have friends who claim "dancepunk" and like the rapture but think "beat connection" is just plain stupid; i'd probably recommend the gogogo album to those friends.

aaack typpoes!!

haha! when i interviewed them, that was the interview going on before me. i overheard most of those questions. (or maybe it was another mag asking equally dumb ones)

(disclaimer: I want to hear all my favorite bands cover the Warriors theme)
