Oh, you must watch to the end. And the crowd goes wild! Oh my. I think I threw up a little in my mouth there.
Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Wow, that was disturbing. I couldn't even make it to the chorus.
I got my month of eMusic songs today. Coincidentally, they got the new Kristen Hersh album today: [link]
So far I am really liking it.
The second song just started.
eta: Oh, the third song is really good too.
Great commute today (ok same as always) courtesy of The Decembrists (thus me not paying so much attention to the crowding people).
FYI - Sons & daughters and Myla Goldberg are great walking with a smile on my face songs.
When the Decemberists played in Boston last time, they got a great 4 part round going with the audience on \"Sons & Daughters\". I actually got a bit verklempt.
They did it here too, loved it. And I just heard in a Year-end NPR All Songs, Christgau poo poo this type of thing. Saying people only find the audiance interaction/participation stuff from The Decembrists interesting because the public has become used to decades of entertainers ignoring them.
ugh hate him and he ruins the podcats for me.
Christgau eats poo poo.
perzactly.
ugh hate him and he ruins the podcats for me.
I like the idea of podcats. I think its the kind of thing that would intrigue tommyrot too.
Christgau used to be safely ghettoized at the Voice. Now he's loosed on the nation.
In all seriousness, that\'s a really dumb thing to say. Lots of bands today do audience participation. Sometimes it\'s annoying and sometimes it\'s good. The Decemberists happen to be quite good at it, mostly due to the charm of Mr. Meloy. But they aren\'t breaking any new ground or reviving anything.
