What's the last song to make you say "Holy" followed by a cussword

[Bossy Monkey]

and an exclamation mark?

My most recent: "Moanin'" by Mingus and "Copperhead Road" by Steve Earle. Headphones are a good thing.

Yours?

[Mojambo]

1. "Sleeping Aides and Razor Blades"

by The Exploding Hearts.

Well, pretty much that whole album made me say it.

[flamingyouth]

2. WHOA - the Exploding Hearts

They were a great band. My late husband organized the Seattle memorial for their deceased members, may they RIP. :cry:

[Mojambo]

3. Indeed. A HUGE loss. n/t.

[Mojambo]

5. Didja happen to catch Neko Case's set on Austin City Limits

a couple weeks back?

[flamingyouth]

7. No, I missed it

She did come to our wedding, though.

(Who are you?);)

[Mojambo]

9. I just recently found her solo stuff

after getting hooked on the New Pornographers a while back.
She's quite a vocalist and songwriter.

(I'm Joe)

[flamingyouth]

10. It's nice to meet you

Fellow Washingtonian with most excellent taste in music! :hi:

[Mojambo]

12. Nice to meet you as well.

We pretty much got the music thing down in these parts don't we?
:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

24. Neko Case attended your wedding?!

I (heart) Neko Case! I stood right next to her at south by southwest one year, but I didn't realize who she was. :dunce:

I'm going to see her here though: www.aclfest.com

[flamingyouth]

28. She's awesome

Yes, she's a Tacoma girl, and at the time we ran in the same circle. She was dating one of the members of the Smugglers, the band that played at our reception (they were also our friends - Alan lived with Nick from the band up in Vancouver).

Girl Trouble, a great local band, wrote a song about Neko years ago, back when she roamed around we mortals.

Have a great time at that show! That sounds amazing! :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

30. Agreed - she rules!

Now I have to listen to her stuff tonight! :D

[flamingyouth]

32. I love "The Virginian" and "Blacklisted"

I hope she moves back to Seattle one day. :hi:

[GOPisEvil]

33. I can't keep up with her!

She's either in Chicago, Tucson or Vancouver. She's everywhere! :D

I got to see her live a few months ago. Damn, she was good. I got to see the New Pornographers, too. Not enough Neko. ;-)

Blacklisted is GREAT stuff. Hmm...2 hours until I go home and can listen. I've got to put her stuff on the ol' iPod.

[flamingyouth]

34. Yeah, the New Pornographers never did too much for me

They're okay, but I think you've hit the nail on the head - not enough Neko.

I saw her at the Crocodile Cafe (losing track of time here...) was it in 2003 or 2002? :silly: I can't remember. She said she cries every time she leaves the Northwest. :(

[Dudley_DUright]

4. My favorite new group is Los Lonely Boys (Texas blues/rock group)

The song "Heaven" has a great groove and I remember saying "holy shit, I just got to get that CD today!".

[LastKnight]

31. you seen the video on the cd?

10 times better than the whole cd... if the damn producers would let them do stuff like THAT on the album i would follow em around on tour.

[Fovea]

6. Screenwriter's Blues.

Soul Coughing.

'It's five am, and the sun has charred the other side of the world and come back to us and painted the smoke over our heads an imperial violet... It is five am, and you are listening to Los Angeles."

"And the radioman laughs, because the radioman fucks a model too.
Gone savage for teenagers with automatic weapons and boundless love. Gone savage for teenagers that are aesthetically pleasing, in other words, Fly!"

You are listening...
You are listening...
You are listning...
to Los Angeles...

[Spider Jerusalem]

17. That's an incredibly kickass song, isn't it?

I had the same reaction first time I heard it, way back in 1995...and I was lucky enough to see them live 3 times before they broke up.

[Fovea]

20. Twice live for me,

But Mike and I traded EMail back and forth when I was living near his former temporary hometown of Basehor KS.
Kewl guy, gifted and tortured, as one might expect.

"I'm half drunk on babel you transmit, through your True Dreams, of Wichita."

[elehhhhna]

8. Hurt....Johnny Cash

[tarkus]

11. Endless Sacrifice by Dream Theater

Every one of these guys just has unbelievable chops, and they show that in the instrumental section of the song.

[CO Liberal]

13. "Squeeze Box" by The Who

The first time I heard it on the radio, I thought "Holy Shit! How can they say THAT on the radio??"

[Bossy Monkey]

15. Only once in 30 years? Gee! n/t

[KT2000]

14. Shilo - Chris Duarte n/t

[Mara Steele]

16. "The Ballad of The Kingsmen" by Todd Snider

love it... nearly made me cry in the store...

[Magrittes Pipe]

18. "I Know the Pattern" by the Thermals.

[Spider Jerusalem]

19. "MfG", Die Fantastischen Vier...

German hip hop. Just recently discovered them. They're amazing. Much better than most of the stuff in the States.

Oh, and "Moanin'" is another song I had that reaction to. Heh. First time I heard it I put it on repeat and listend to it thrice through. I especially dig the baritone sax groove. Just incredible.

[Kellanved]

25. Yes, the F4 make the best German Hip Hop

In fact they're only German Hip Hoppers knowing how to rhyme,
it is the only German Hip Hop I can stand.
Their lyrics are great - lots of hidden meanings and jokes (especially so in MFG) .
Also they're politically active.

21. comfortably numb

by the scissor sisters

[redqueen]

22. How to Disappear Completely - Radiohead

I fucking love that song.

[SCDem]

23. When I first read your post I thought you meant "holy *&%$" in a bad way

and my first thought was anything by Toby Keith. I even hear his name or the first jingle of one of his songs while turning the radio and I just roll my eyes and say "holy *&%$" is he still marketing on fear and loathing of 9/11.

[Bossy Monkey]

29. Well, let's argue about it; you're 10 away from 1,000 posts

:)

Seriously, you're right; it could read either way. I think most people omit the "holy" in that context, though.

[Bossy Monkey]

35. Grovelbot! Where are you?! n/t

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

26. Bongo Bong - by Manu Chao

[argyl]

27. "Black Eyed Susie" by Cheri Knight.From "The Northeast Passage"

CD came out in 1998 and I just bought it.Not a bad track on it,but "Black Eyed Susie" is my favorite,as of today anyway.

I hang myself...via live telecast.

Coming live from my own funeral...the beautiful weather offered a nice shine,
Which is suitable for a full view of a forever altered skyline.
It's times like these I freestyle biased opinions every other sentence.
My journalistic ethics slip when I pass them off as objective.
"Don't gimme that ethical shit."
I've got exclusive, explicit images to present to impressionable American kids,
And it's time to show this world how big our edifice is!

That's exactly what they attacked when a typically dark skinned Disney villain
Used civilians against civilians and charged the Trojan horses into our buildings.
Using commercial aviation as instruments of destruction,
Pregnant women couldn't protect their children. Wheelchairs were stairway obstructions.
Now I have to back pedal...from the shower of glass and metal,
Wondering how after it settles we'll find who provided power to radical rebels.
The Melting Pot seems to be calling the kettle black when it boils over,
But only on our own soil so the little boy holds a toy soldier...
And waits for the suit and tie to come home. We won't wait 'til he's older,
Before we destroy hopes for a colder war to end. "Now get a close up of his head..."

I hang myself while the stock markets crash

The city is covered in inches of muck
I see some other pictures of victims are up
Grieving mothers are thinking their children are stuck
Leaping lovers are making decisions to jump
While holding hands...to escape the brutal heat...Sometimes in groups of the three.
The fall out goes far beyond the toxic cloud where people look like debris.
But all they saw after all was said...beyond the talking heads
Was the bloody dust with legs looking like the walking dead calling for meds.
But all the hospitals are overwhelmed. volunteers need to go the hell home.
Moments of silence for fire fighters were interrupted by cell phones.
Who's going to make that call to increase an unknown death toll?
It's the one we rally behind. He's got a megaphone...and he's promising to make heads roll,
So we cheer him on, but asbestos is affecting our breath control.
The less we know...the more they fabricate...the easier it is to sell souls

(MEGAPHONE):
There is a new price on freedom, so buy into it while supplies last.
Changes need to be made: No more curbside baggage, 7 PM curfew,
Racial profiling will continue with less bitching.
Before we beautified over who to kill,
so until I find more relevant scripture to quote, remember:
Our God is bigger, stronger, smarter, and much wealthier,
so wave those flags with pride, especially the white part!

They're selling addictive 24 hour candle light vigils on TV.
Freedom WILL be defended...at the cost of civil liberties.
Viewers are glued to television screens. Stuck...'cause lots of things seem too sick.
I use opportunities to pluck heart strings for theme music.

I'll show you which culture to pump your fist at and what foot is right to kiss.
We don't know who the culprit is yet...but he looks like this.
We know who the heroes are. They're not the xenophobes who act hard,
"We taught that dog to squat. How dare he do that shit in our own back yard!"

They happened to scar our financial state and char our landscape.
Can you count how many times so far I ran back this same damn tape?
While a camera man creates news and shoves it down our throats on the West Bank,
With a 10 second clip put on constant loop to provoke US angst.

So get your tanks and load your guns and hold your sons in a family huddle,
'cause even if we win this tug of war and even the score...humanity struggles.
There's a desperate need of blood for what's been uncovered under the rubble,
Some of us dug for answers in the mess...but the rest were looking for trouble.
