[Davey]

This is the long awaited inaugural edition of the brand new inspirational "Silly Friday Thread". Join in one and all, and say something silly, but remember, it will live on in posterity, or at least until the next big server crash comes to take them away, ho ho he he ha ha.



don't
don't you worry
about the atmosphere
or any sudden pressure change

'cause I know
that it's starting
to get warm in here
and things are
starting to get strange

Don't we all just adore that wonderful world of Bird?

[Snowbunny]

Yes, we love us some Bird.

And also some D-Plan!

But the sky is like a dome of black metal flake
And stars bleed together in phosphorescent lakes
And a dead black disk slides silently overhead
It's ****ing beautiful is what it is.
What were you doing for those eight and a half minutes?
Was it mean, was it petty, or did you realize you were sorry
And that you love them?
When I die I'm going to heaven
Leave it to the cockroaches and the 7-11s
But it'd be nice to think we could get it right down here just once

Yeah, the end of time for us all, now that's silly! Hehehe, I was just talking to someone at another place about that great Dead Can Dance album called "Within the Realm of a Dying Sun". Must be some kind of funny connectionwe got, eh Snowbuns? With GPS you know it's all just a matter of degrees. I could quote Birdisms all day. More from the apocalypse ...

I got up this morning
With the sunlight in my eyes
And there was no warning
As it took me by surprise
And it hit me like an act of God
And caused my alarm
That I had not become a cephalopod
I still had legs and arms...
Today was supposed to be the day
That molecules decide to change their form
Laws of physics lose their sway...

Yeah, with google satellite, it's looking like Grandaddy's - Dial-A-View could soon be a reality.

As a matter of fact, I can see that you're wearing a button-down, plaid shirt. But you'll need to stand up so I can see which trousers you have on. :-)

I found your house and I saw your car
But I’ve no idea where you are
From the dial-a-view

Can you guess which comp I'm listening to now? It's one of yours, one artist only...

[Stone]

I like eggs.

[Davey]

I like eggs.

I like eggs? Is that a yoke? That's all you got for silly Friday? I mean, that's not even silly! What is that animal on the cover of Andrew Bird's album? Any silly ideas?

[Davey]

Hawaii crazy shirts and jeans today. Might need to adjust the focus a bit for your "not yet over the hill but not quite still a spring chicken either" eyeballs



Single artist comp? Do I make those? Sounds like it would be kind of boring. Definitely not Grandaddy, so I guess I must be clueless again

[Snowbunny]

I like to get every last drop of my Hoegaarden White Beer! Mmmmm....

There will be snacks, there will

That's my favourite line from this disk.

Did you ever see the show Newsradio with Dave Foley and Phil Hartman? Phil's comedy was pure genius. There was an episode where Phil's character, Bill McNeal, had checked himself into a psychatric hospital. While there, he befriended another patient played by Jon Lovitz (who replaced Phil on the show after he was brutally and senselessly murdered!!!!, but I digress). Anyway, there was a scene where Bill was having a visit with Dave Foley and Maura Tierney's characters and Jon Lovitz was trying to lure Bill away from them because there was a party in the patients lounge (or something like that) and he said to Bill, "they're serving SNACKS". There was something about the delivery of that line that just sent me into histarics! My husband and I still use that line and chuckle over it today.

So, everytime I hear that line on the Bird album, I think of that, my favourite,episode and chuckle.

Yeah, that's a good one. That show was very funny and insightful sometimes. Phil Hartman was amazing. Great ensemble, although I didn't see it much after his death. Jon Lovitz has his moments, but Phil Hartman was in a different level, far above most of that cast. I love the way that "Tables and Chairs" evolves from that apocalyptic beginning I posted above, into the Heaven on Earth exclamation with that priceless line at the end, it's all just so perfect. Very spiritual album in many ways. Really a classic album, easily one of the top few of this millenium for me...so much still to explore, seems like new discoveries with each listen, and I've had it for most of the year.

I know we're going to meet someday
In the crumbling financial institutions of this land
There'll be tables and chairs,
There'll be pony rides and dancing bears
There'll even be a band
'Cause listen, after the fall
There'll be no more countries
No currencies at all
We're going to live off our wits
Gonna throw away survival kits...
And there will be snacks, there will
There will be snacks, there will... be
There will be snacks.

I was listening to that album on the drive home from work yesterday and thinking that it's probably in the number one spot for my top ten list so far this year. I can't imagine anything knocking it out of place...except maybe for the Luke Doucet CD, Broken, if I ever get around to finding it. What I heard of it on a listening station, and from the reviews that I've read, it could end up being a very strong contender.

A disk that you should look into from what I've heard.

Another Canadian singer songwriter type? Are you kidding? Oh, that's right, this is the silly Friday thread!

Hehehe, never heard of him. Those silly content laws require you to listen to these guys, huh? Just kidding, looked him up here and he does sound interesting. They have a few songs from the new one so I'll give it a listen later and let you know what I think. Is he someone you've been following for a while? Thanks

[Snowbunny]

If I had a boyfriend, I'd knit him a sweater too!

My boyfriend's back, and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him comin', better cut on the double
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
You've been spreadin' lies that I was untrue
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now, 'cause he's comin' after you
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

Oooh look out!

[Davey]

My boyfriend's back, and you're gonna be in trouble

Hey, no problem, I'll back off. You look cute together. Where'd ya meet him. Love the curls

I may be spending too much time at the Roots & Blues Folk Festivals.

Maybe if you just quit treating them to those Pillsbury Halloween tricks, they won't keep following you home. Looks kinda like Weird Al Yankonsomething

Heheheh... I love the look on the girlfriend's face. She looks like she's ready to make a run for it once the camera's off.

I had no idea kudzu had spread all the way to B.C.

Omygawd, Toze! I was just talking about kudzu Thursday morning!

Our climate and geography is much like Nevada's, I imagine. No kudzu here, just sagebrush, tumbleweed and pine trees.

That is just too weird.
