Heartland

Bloody hell, they sound good here.

Time for an album …

Ah, so the deep meaning of On the Beach is revealed: "we're parked and yet we're not".

I'll get my coat ...

And did you do the do the payments?

Mark: is this right, or is it supposed to be “And did you do the payments?”?

Cheers,

I stand happily corrected!

One more thing: did it strike anyone else as rather mean-spirited that Von introduced Lucretia with “it’s not over ‘til the fat lady sings” … or did I read too much into it?

I’ve three tix for sale … face value or make me an offer?

My immediate reactions: 1. Fantastic show with the girls in great form. 2. American audiences are awful.

Ohh that really was good thanks for posting it, I love these last tour's recently posted Thessaloniki videos too, he was going in on Alice

Blimey-- at ~1:34 you can see his eyes!

Christ, that's one self-involved interviewer (and one who could really use a decent editor). "I was reading H.P. Lovecraft at age seven."? "Are you into all the pulp authors, like I am"?? WHO GIVES A CRAP how the interviewer gets his news?

Excuse the thread necro (I always figure it's better than starting a new thread)... but I happened to be jamming along to Thin Lizzy's "Emerald" today, and the line jumped out at me: "Down from the glen came the marching men With their shields and their swords" Now, the concept of "marching men" is ...

We still have Are we going to be bad, Just Aching, We are on this plane, Left on venom and revenge, Quantum baby, The second song of Moses and Ray Ray to add as well

And Far Parade ...

I’m in.

It's nice to see him saying nice things about Chris, isn't it? And I think he's getting a bit more self-aware/honest in his dotage... "Or maybe I'm just lazy, or maybe I can't decide on the definitive version of anything."

I'll be there!

I'll just leave this here...

Thanks for posting this. I thought it was quite good---Hawkins is a character, but his observations were decent and he clearly genuinely loves the music.

I ressurrected my channel to put out a cover of romeo down today. Will leave it here for those interested.

Oh, well done! I was really enjoying this but waiting for the inevitable dodgy doom goth vocals to come in, and was really pleasantly surprised!

It sounds to me like he's been singing "There's a room on a road out there" recently, which makes a bit more sense to me than other versions.

Does anyone else think the last two lines might be a pointer that the lyric can be read backwards - thus: understand this can go two ways we're on the sand we're parked and yet we're not inside and outside, on the beach that's the order that's the reason all states have a border it's not your boat t...

You’re right, and I’d been meaning to come back here to correct myself. I always think of the first “see a body”, and various non-official sources have that repeated, but listening to FALAA the other day I was reminded that it does indeed switch to “see a face”; so, my bad.

In case it's any help, I took the liberty of adding a few new lyrics and fixing a couple of things... copy/paste into the file when somebody gets access? Creatures of tinsel and gauze That's not waving; that is drowning You have the freedom to be living in a car Heave away, heave away boys In a home...

The "not waving it's drowning" is surely a reference to the Stevie Smith war poem: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/ ... t-drowning

I just noticed... "See a face and a dream of the dead days". Nope...

Nice to see this pic (of drummer Adrian Erlandsson) in an article about metal band At the Gates in the most recent Guitar World mag... I'll have to check 'em out!

So... anyone catch what he was shouting in German(?) throughout the night? And was I alone in thinking it a bit of a classic Von "up yours" to be hollering in a language most of his audience probably didn't understand? (Good gig, that notwithstanding...)
