Love the new album! Bought a copy on tues!

not sure about everyone else. but to me Fantasies has this real debut album feel to it. just the way it flows and how every tracks has this brilliant hook to it.

tauiwi · 25-06-2009, 11:28 AM

And one of the best opening tracks for a while.

deaths_friend · 25-06-2009, 12:40 PM

Zero by YYYs beats it by a tiny bit in my opinion and Southern Point by Grizzly Bear isnt far behind.

tauiwi · 25-06-2009, 12:48 PM

really? I like heads will roll better than zero. Southern point, maybe. I am not a big GB fan.

deaths_friend · 25-06-2009, 12:54 PM

i thought we were talking opening tracks............

tauiwi · 25-06-2009, 12:56 PM

Yeah, I just think zero isnt that special

MrMagpie · 25-06-2009, 05:49 PM

I don't know if its just fatigue, but I don't really like Help I'm Alive that much anymore. It is a great track and all, but I just find most of the other songs on the album are alot better.

The first time I heard of them it was because of this song a friend sent to me.

The Police and the Private.

MrMagpie · 04-07-2009, 05:50 PM

deaths_friend · 05-07-2009, 01:30 AM

im paying $135 to see them

MrMagpie · 05-07-2009, 03:17 AM

I'm going to do an update on my blog tonight.
It was awesome.
Basically what happened was the headlining act pulled out last minute. So instead of cancelling they just made it a free show. Tonnes of people went. Lots of mud. Lots of great music.

Space Cadet · 05-07-2009, 04:52 AM

So I never got a chance to ask, how did you like them live?

Blew me away

MrMagpie · 05-07-2009, 05:20 AM

Done by! Gum by! In a cave in the hills he dwelt alone, And meat was hard to come by. Up came Tom with his big boots on. Said he to Troll: 'Pray, what is yon? For it looks like the shin o' my nuncle Tim, As should be a-lyin' in graveyard. Caveyard! Paveyard! This many a year has Tim been gone, And I thought he were lyin' in graveyard.' 'My lad,' said Troll, 'this bone I stole. But what be bones that lie in a hole? Thy nuncle was dead as a lump o' lead, Afore I found his shinbone. Tinbone! Thinbone! He can spare a share for a poor old troll, For he don't need his shinbone.' Said Tom: 'I don't see why the likes o' thee Without axin' leave should go makin' free With the shank or the shin o' my father's kin; So hand the old bone over! Rover! Trover! Though dead he be, it belongs to he; So hand the old bone over!' 'For a couple o' pins,' says Troll, and grins, 'I'll eat thee too, and gnaw thy shins. A bit o' fresh meat will go down sweet! I'll try my teeth on thee now. Hee now! See now! I'm tired o' gnawing old bones and skins; I've a mind to dine on thee now.' But just as he thought his dinner was caught, He found his hands had hold of naught. Before he could mind, Tom slipped behind And gave him the boot to larn him. Warn him! Darn him! A bump o' the boot on the seat, Tom thought, Would be the way to larn him. But harder than stone is the flesh and bone Of a troll that sits in the hills alone. As well set your boot to the mountain's root, For the seat of a troll don't feel it. Peel it! Heal it! Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan, And he knew his toes could feel it. Tom's leg is game, since home he came, And his bootless foot is lasting lame; But Troll don't care, and he's still there With the bone he boned from its owner. Doner! Boner! Troll's old seat is still the same, And the bone he boned from its owner!" Albums of the Year 2011 - Vote Here!
