Slowfaller 0 #1 July 25, 2006 Anyone like this band? After listening to the sample clips on amazon I've decided they rock! If a new fan were to buy(yes buy not download, does anyone even do that anymore?) one or even two of their albums, which would you recommend? The reason I ask is because Ginny and I are going to see them this Thursday for free (won tickets) and before the show the band and us get to play poker and I get to take home a signed poker table!! Friggin' crazy! Hoping to be let in w/ a bottle of Jack to say thanks. --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McDuck 0 #3 July 25, 2006 I love this band. I only recently discovered them for my own listening pleasure, but I've already incorporated one of their songs into a video I'm slapping together.Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.

Peej 0 #4 July 25, 2006 They frikken rock! Get hold of their new Album too, Black Holes and Revelations, it's so good that virtually every track on there could be a single. In fact Q magazine gave it five stars in one of their recent reviews. Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slowfaller 0 #5 July 25, 2006 LOL, so buy everything they've put out Cool thanks for the replies guys. This is the first time ever getting to go back stage at a concert but to actually play poker with the guys is going to be crazy. Kind of embarrassing that I only know one of their songs (Knights of Cydonia) but really dig it. The music, not the singing, of Knights...reminds me of something Danny Elfman would do for Edward Scissorhands while the camera would be sweeping across the neighborhood before stopping on that old house where Edward was created. Very epic song --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #6 July 25, 2006 Now you've got a friend for life. Anyone who can appreciate Danny Elfman's work, whether it be his old Mystic Knights stuff, movie and television themes or just some good Boingo, is okay in my book.

Slowfaller 0 #8 July 26, 2006 Went to Best Buy and picked up Muse's Black Holes and Revelations While listening to it on the way home I realized that this will go great w/ Koyaanisqatsi Holy crap was that awesome. Had the movie on the 50" w/ the CD playing through the PS2 and 5.1ch stereo turned way up. I highly recommend trying this if you have or can get Koyaanisqatsi from Netflix or Blockbuster. Several cold drinks mix well or if you're into smokey smoke you'd probably blow your mind --"Someday you will die and somehow somethings going to steal your carbon" -MM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDuck 0 #9 July 26, 2006 Since I absolutely LOVE Black Holes and Revelations, I'm more than a little interested in picking up this movie. To me, excellent cinematography can make up for a lack of plot. I'll check this one out. Thanks Chris!Kevin - Sonic Beef #5 - OrFun #28 "I never take myself too seriously, 'cuz everybody know fat birds don't fly." - FLC Online communities: proof that people never mature much past high school.
