Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 00:57:52 So the Polyphonic Spree's new album is out on June 19th. Half way through listening to what seems to be a pre-release leak. Not really that impressed so far. Seems like they've cut out all the big string and choir heavy happy bit's which make the second album so ace.
They've moved further away from the first album (which was plagued by playing all the instruments at the same time syndrome), to an extent that it's like Tim DeLawassihismane pretending he's still fronting the Tripping Daisies and then remembering to include the other 50 members every so often. It's getting better as I listen though. Still nothing which approaches the ace happy tingling I got when I first listened to Hold Me Now. I guess a lot of people on here will never get past the slight cheesyness. But Together We're Heavy is a mint album. Oooh it's getting better track 7+ Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars....

If you like the first album you should definately get hold of the second. It's brilliant. It's like musical embodiment of happiness. Sort of like the first one without the badly planned instrumentals. Fragile army, released on July 19th, will be their 3rd album. They also did the soundtrack to the film Thuimbsucker, which I've never seen or heard. There's an EP called Wait or something, which was released late last year. 3 covers and 2 songs which were originally supposed to be on the delayed 3rd album. I'm guessing they got shelved as B-Sides. But yeah, if you liked the first album then Together We're Heavy will probably be the greatest thing you'll ever get hold of. Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: axs on Friday, June 1, 2007, 01:13:15 i've added it to the birthday list! i think its full now unless i'm very optimistic about about how much my family will spend on me!
thats made my day, someone told me they had broken up after their first album and i've heard no more about them until today. thankfully you are random enough to post the sprees new album release dates on a football forum. :soapy tit wank: Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 01:15:44 I reckon theirs enough secret spree heads on here to secretly appreciate it.

Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 01:26:24 mines pretty much the same, but worryingly thinned. I put that down to the way it's styled.

gayness Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 01:49:08 Did you ever sort out a game pad mr. sonic?
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: sonic youth on Friday, June 1, 2007, 01:51:14 nope it's on my list of things to do this summer
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 01:53:56 Have you played Cave Story yet? It's like a super nes/snes platformer but for the PC. But with a storyline. And different endings and stuff. It's just generally the bestest thing I've played in ages.
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: sonic youth on Friday, June 1, 2007, 01:58:21 sounds decent. i'm going to waste my summer reading, watching, playing and any other verbs.
watch this ben. it's tres amusant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMIoAAnZt_4 Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:02:34 I got a bit bored, there was a crazy dude and a bloke taking the piss and then it just went into some random review of that new elderscrolls game. My computer barely runs Morrowind and it's pretty shit anyway.
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:05:52 I'm guessing they take the piss a bit more? It's probably piss take beyond my grasp at the moment. I like nearly completing fallout2 occasionally. Planescape: Torment is where it's at. there's like a bijillion words of script in that game, It took me to like 5 million to get bored.
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: sonic youth on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:09:44 actually it's probably not very funny if you've not played it.
time to sleep. night ben Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: DV on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:10:40 word...
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:15:18 night sonic. Apperently I got drunk and change all the keys to play street fighter alpha 3 on mame.
Bastards. Oh, don't you like old nintendo stuff VD? You should check out cave story too. (err.. last page for link me thinks.) to be fair everybody should. cos it's ace. Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: DV on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:17:46 old nintendo stuff is ace... 8)
street fighter, good choice. E. Honda is the best character with his super fast arm.... Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:35:45 This has reminded me that I've still got a tetris game going since my birthday. On about 1000 lines but have only been playing in little stints.
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: flammableBen on Friday, June 1, 2007, 02:44:13 luckily i stopped before I ruined the game. This could be the 10000 line effort.
Title: See those superstars, tidal waves and broken cars.... Post by: manc red on Friday, June 1, 2007, 08:54:33 the second spree album is pure quality. remember seeing then at reading a few years back, was totally bizarre.
on the subject of old video games i randomly found a sega mastersystem in my student house yesterday gonna try to get it working later |
