i listened to "coma" and something else (edit: "sham rock"?) and it was pleasant, but then i was in the middle of listening to beat happening (inspired by the stupid christmas album thread) and i had to go back to it.

i had sex on christmas
i had sex 3 times today
3 different women told me how to be bored
in their own separate too-little ways

i feel like hell on christmas
and i feel like hell today
i feel like hell when i wake up in can tell
that i'm never gonna make you stay

(okay, here it goes)

i didnt get no presents on christmas
and i sure didn't get none today
learned my lesson
life is one long session
of disappointment, heartache, pain.

disappointment, heartache, pain.

see??

Memory fails me as usual but last time i put a record by Beat Happening on was in 1994 or something.

!@#$%! · 12.14.2006, 06:10 PM

i had to get the lyrics from the song because i found it ungoogable. such perfection. ha ha.

nomadicfollower · 12.14.2006, 06:10 PM

I listened to Coma as well and wasn't all that impressed. I'll come back to them later tonight.

porkmarras · 12.14.2006, 06:12 PM

Hmmm....they seem quite a hit and miss sort of band.Either they get it totally right or they sound a bit lacklustre.
I have the same problem with a band called Home.They can/could either be genius or simply crap.

so what's a good track? the 2 i heard felt a bit... "thin"-- how can i explain?

porkmarras · 12.14.2006, 06:17 PM

The first one i heard(Welcome To Dreamsville)is ace.Try with that one first.

!@#$%! · 12.14.2006, 06:35 PM

okay, i'm listening. yes, it's better than the other 2 ive heard. it vaguely reminds me of pink floyd's "echoes". but doesn't really blow my socks off or anything-- i guess we have different tastes-- i'm going back to listen to menstruating banshees
