Hey man, it’s one thing if you prefer acoustic instruments over electronic ones, or dislike synths in general. Completely understandable. But as an embarrassingly hardcore synthesizer enthusiast, I have to take umbrage with the phrase “shitty low quality synth sounds”. I’m not really a fan of Deadmau5, or even this cover (it actually is fairly boring), but seriously, those are really some gorgeous, high quality synth sounds.

So… the idea is that they nap a lot and drink champagne and play with puppies in the studio? I guess that explains a lot about this song?

‘Serious Bellybutton Music’ will be the name of my next album.

This is either a very good joke, or the most naive comment ever.

There are plenty of groups out there with pretty singing, if that’s what you’re looking for. Cults seem mostly harmless. Death Cab? Antlers?

This album ROCKS. Pure and simple. Huge, lush sound. May not be everyone’s taste, but it is artfully done and hardly ‘trash’. And they play highly entertaining live shows as well.

Very trippy stuff. I think these gentlemen are high? When listening on the bus this morning I felt like I was flying through a strange, magical forest in an outerspace kaleidoscope.

Reminds me a bit of when I first heard Kid A, and I was like ‘I’m not sure what I am hearing, but it is weird and I like it.’ Lots of lush depth to these tracks. I like the way they build and then kind of spiral out of control.

Holy balls. That is quite a song. Very Zappa-esque. Beck never ceases to amaze.

That FF guy needs to calm himself down. Get back on his meds or something.

I totally agree. I’m actually a big Schnauss fan, but I don’t really see the claim here. I would like to believe it because Axel is a douche, but it seems like nothing more than a minor coincidence.

If you’re a serious Radiohead fan, you will listen to both tracks simultaneously,

Don’t they normally require that you have some sort of a sense of pitch before they let you join an a cappella group?

Pretty decent song. Nice synth sounds.

YES. I need this album, like right now.

I think if you try hard enough, you might be able to pull a good seizure off of this one, too.

Great version. I want one of those Marxophone things. And a laser field.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s because Corgan is a dick.

Damn, can these guys write songs. The chorus on that Mesopotamians song is unbelievably catchy.

BTW, it sounds completely awesome.

Holy balls. I want some of whatever they’re taking.

 0Posted on Jan 30th, 2009 | re: New Elbow - "Running To Stand Still" (U2 Cover) (12 comments)

This certainly is a beautiful cover. One of my all-time favorite U2 tracks as well.

This is what I’ve wondered as well. Based on their track record, you’d think the RIAA would be suing the pants off of the government. But then again, the US government hasn’t been shy about changing the rules to suit their needs lately. And the RIAA probably wants to keep the government on their side anyway, so they can continue to get legislative support for their shenanigans.

Heh. “fuckball music”. Fitting description.

Like, wow. Never, like, heard of these chicks, but I will, like, definitely, like, not be, like, checking out their, like, awesome, like, ‘punk rock’ anytime soon. Holy hell.

Sounds like they discovered a distortion pedal and ran with it.

“Modular” synths? Probably not. You have to be smart to use those properly. I’m going with Korg Triton.

But thank god for the Autotune. I wouldn’t have recognized this as Kanye without it.
