I just got back from a show by the Silversun Pickups and I sincerely feel like I'm going to look back on this day and be happy that I saw them in such a tiny little club.
it's a rare event when I hear a band that makes me freak out. I think the last time I felt this way was the first time I heard Modest Mouse - This is a Long Drive.... if you haven't heard them, they are being compared to early Smashing Pumpkins/My Bloody Valentine. although their influences seem obvious, the coolest thing for me is how it's been melded together into something completely new and cool. pure fucking genius. christ....if this post makes me sound like an insane fanboy then so be it. on a side note: I lost my $20 I took out of the ATM between the venue and the car. they took a tab at the bar, but I was still pissed. thankfully, right before the Pickups came on I found a $10 on the ground. ![]() |

funny, i was already on youtube, half-watching sofia coppola interviews this band doesn't sound half bad! and the girl on the video is pretty oh i can hear why the fucking pumpkins reference-- the at-times-annoyo singing voice? hm.... -- also, there is a yolatengoish quality to that song, esp. in the instrumental parts. -- jeezus fack do they have a different song? there are dozens of versions in youtube of the same thing. |

I have a dark secret that eats away at the music snob in me. I first saw these guys on the Jay Leno show. I rarely watch tv, but nbc is the only station that will come in on the tv in my computer room. one night, about a month ago, these guys were playing and I stopped what I was doing and turned the tv up. I've been in love ever since.
I had to get what I have from itunes (the local "indy" record store was sold out and I couldn't wait until the show to get it) or I'd upload it to sendspace tonite (the album is called Carnavas and there really isn't a bad track on it). there's also some itunes "exclusive" thing with 4 studio-live tracks. it's less than $4 and really worth every penny. sadly, there was no encore last night because they blew the house PA.....but honestly I'll trade an encore anyday for a main event that destroys the soundsystem. to top off the night, I met a really awesome girl there and spent most of the night talking music. I love talking music and sadly too few girls can carry a music conversation very well....those that do however, ROCK MY WORLD. ![]() |

mmm, i don't really like kliph, he's too much like the sad flaming lips fan turned groupie turned tour drummer. He looked really moody the last time i saw them play too.
I love Wayne and Steven though, don't know too much about Michael. |

going back to SP, i saw them on Leno as well, however 4 nights on Carson Daly, i dont know, it sort of felt like a novelty. I would have to see a complete concert to make a fair judgement though.

spot on. but seriously....when gangsta-rappers talk about "bitches"....they're talking about kliph scurlock. what do gangsta-rappers have to do with ANYTHING? they know their bitches. don't get me wrong....I love the Lips. they were my favorite band for a very very very long time. wayne is the nicest person on the planet and although I disagree with steven's music tastes, he's a genius. they need to go back to a stage with 1 projector and christmas lights. as it is, I feel that they have lost focus on the music in favor of gaining a wider audience through their circus-performance that they have going now. sad days for me. but yeah, right now it's mostly about kliph scurlock being a bitch4life.

I could see how you would think that. seriously...it bothered me that I "heard it first" on Jay Leno. but I'm telling you, the entire album is solid! the live show was even better. ![]() |

i'm really glad i'm not caught up with personalities and shit like that because i still love flaming lips. seriously, at war with the mystics is one of my favorites along with priest driven ambulance and soft bulletin.
silversun pickups are great songwriters, really good, they are not unique but fuck it. to me they sounded like the pumpkins mixed with goo-era sy, it's in the bass/guitar interacting riffs. |
