didn't think so...

 

[japeo]

timo for mayor!

so great.. monday morning and my ears are still ringing.. is it true that you never hear those frequencies again like they say in that children of men film?

 

[ddmurph]

forgot my ear plugs so i'm still humming like a maryanne amacher tune today...

ha! maryanne amacher rules. not as much as the ex though. i saw animal house last night for the first time in years too. it was amazing. not as amazing as the ex though

edit: boneyard witch were great too (not as great as the ex though, etc)

She has some set of lungs on her! That folk song is on Scabbling at the Locks I think.

God I wish it was Saturday again

aww deadly band. the ex and dog faced hermans in fox and pheasant was a glorious sight. bumps and swings is a good start

 

[oh shit]

agreed. i thought the 'really loud one' was a tune called kokend asphalt (minus the horns on the recorded version, alas) but the lyric seemed different. anyone any ideas?

"kokend asfalt" is the ex orkest version of "state of shock" from 'scrabbling at the locks', the first tom cora record. "state of shock" is the version with the english lyrics, so technically that's what they played on saturday. amazing song, features a lot on the beautiful frenzy film. went a bit wobbly when they played it

very disappointing bump i have to say

 

[Jasper]

yep it's real good.

Picked up the cd in town. The sleeve notes are pretty mad - a list of the amount of times they've played in different countries, cities, all the bands they've played with and the amount of times they've played with them!
