Hello all! Trying to decide if the documentary "A Band Called Death" is worth watching tonight. Anyone familiar with it?
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 3:03pm DCE:

I'm sure it'd be worth it!
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 3:03pm Cecile:

Some folks said it was good.
I have their CD, but haven't seen the movie. the music is excellent.

Smooth transition from Bryce.

caryn: yes, it's great
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:04pm Mike East:

@Caryn - yes, worth watching...though I don't think I finished due to circumstances at the time. But a well told story, and great music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:04pm Parq:

Caryn, I haven't seen it, but I've heard nothing but good things about it. The story alone is interesting enough to make it worth your time.
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 3:05pm Mark Helsten:

I heard nothing but good things about '.."Death", but have not yet seen it myself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:05pm Caryn:

Thanks for the info, all! They've been showing music documentaries on the same spot for a couple of months now. Seems like this will be a nice follow-up to the Big Star doc from a couple of weeks back.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:06pm Parq:

Bottom line -- if you're looking for Caryn tonight and you're not looking in front of a TV, you're looking in the wrong place.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:07pm common:

@CARYN: a band called death is a good 'un. i just saw a bbc doc on hawkwind. some funny stuff in that one!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥   Fri. 5/2/14 3:09pm steve:

i for some reason had to turn off A Band Called Death a few minutes in after seeing Henry Rollins being a talking head. maybe i should've stuck with it...
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:09pm Caryn:

@Parq: I think that goes for most nights. A limited budget means the tv and laptop are my main entertainments. Being laid up with the flu right now means they're definitely the only pastimes I have at the moment.
Avatar ♥   Fri. 5/2/14 3:10pm Sem Chumbo:

Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:26pm Caryn:

@Mike East: yep, it's an excellent Noel Coward parody.

@common: didn't watch the movie, but rather music videos from the soundtrack album. It's not a good movie (hence I didn't watch it now), but the music and some of the actors I do enjoy.
  Fri. 5/2/14 3:26pm P-90:

@Dj Kurt G.: Thanks for classing up the joint a little with Noel Coward
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:28pm Mike East:

@Caryn - my favorite is the very end "thankyouverymuch". I play that in my head sometimes for a chuckle.
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 3:28pm Cecile:

if by classing up you mean unfurling a dozen double-entendres about Uncle Harry's proclivities...

Hi Kurt.

Cheri Pi -I watched your gif while playing the opening of Joe McGasko's show. It's perfect!
(but you probably know that already)
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:32pm Caryn:

I wonder if Kurt will follow up the Coward with some similar "innocently performed double entendres" schtick from George Formby? The banned "With My Little Stick Of Blackpool Rock" or "When I'm Cleaning Windows" come to mind.
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 3:32pm Cecile:

I heard it was bad-boring

@common. Thx. Stupid question. Right there under my fingers.

@sem: not stupid. i am clueless...most of the time. floating around life in my head.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:39pm Caryn:

@common: sadly not "so good it's bad", just bad. Awkward acting not helped by lousy dialogue. Prince's pal Tricky has a couple of decent lines, and that's it.

The things you stumble across while listening to the show and reading at the same time: Iggy Pop's backstage rider calls for a Bob Hope impersonator to be on hand. WTH?!?
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 3:52pm Mike East:

Iggy's rider has a lot of humor written into it. Much cooler than the boring crap I have to look at all day.

I'm really enjoying the chord catalog. It unintentionally gets moody at times, which isn't what I expected. Order makes an huge difference, I'm sure it's a totally different experience backwards.

I blame this track for me missing the connection between the Albanian prime minister and the iPod on the game show I'm watching.

HAPPY weekending! beersies!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 4:35pm Studio B Ben:

This is all a-chord-ing to plan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 4:35pm Caryn:

By which I mean, this track is a very convenient excuse for not knowing the name of the Albanian prime minister.
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 4:36pm Cecile:

I actually answered a question of Cyprus correctly today at the coffee shop. I got 10 cents off.

I really really really need a beersie to wash the taste of Rush out of my eyeballs. Not for the faint of heart Rush haters (like me) www.funnyordie.com...
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 4:41pm Parq:

Wait, now we have to have an excuse if we don't know the name of the Albanian prime minister? Most people can't even name their Congressional representative.

The worst meetings of all are Friday afternoon meetings. Kurt, I'll check the archives later for (hopefully) some Czech pop music.

Cheri,

You can't hate Rush as much as I do. The mere thought of that band ... yikes.
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 4:44pm Cecile:

hahahahah
Looks like an outtake from I Love You Man.
"7 girls at a Rush concert?"
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 4:44pm Cheri Pi:

thank you Carmichael for those soothing words. I'm still dry heaving from the sight and the thought... Happy Kurt Day to all!
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 4:47pm Cecile:

Rush are funny. They make me laugh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 4:48pm Caryn:

@Parq: heh, nah, it's just that I rather enjoy when tv quiz shows are a bit more tricky (oh, my undying love for The Krypton Factor...). The downside is that they can sometimes leave you feeling like a moron for not getting most of the answers. In those situations, it feels nice to have an excuse handy (like "damn music throwing me off my game!").
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 5:03pm Caryn:

Rush: oh dear.
Peart on Letterman's "drum week": entertaining.
"Trailer Park Boys" references to Rush: great.

Thus ends my list of Rush-related things from worst to best.

When I worked for Dept of City planning, during our mandated 15 minute breaks (one in the morning, one in the afternoon), most people used that time to nap at their desks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 5:33pm Kurt Gottschalk:

i have no problem owning up to "bad" music i don't like.

but rush, i do not like.
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:34pm Clay:

Why pick on Rush when there are easier targets like Nickelback?
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 5:36pm northguineahills:

Well, Rush is diggable, Nickelback is painful (and not in a positive way)
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:37pm Lawrence:

I just got up from a nappy nap. I suddenly wondered if Kurt played Rush for some reason and that's we're talking about it. but he didn't. You know, I'm not sure I've ever heard Nickelback.

Pennywise, Nickelback, Dimebag Darrell, Quarterflash, 50-cent ...

In Canada we have mandatory 15 minute 'Rush Breaks', where we have to listen to rush.
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:40pm Lawrence:

That's why nobody ever calls Steven Harper "leader of the free world"
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:40pm Clay:

Love it, Mark! On the rock stations that still exist, there is often a pre-designated time period to "Get the Led out," meaning Zep, of course.
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:41pm Clay:

*there ARE often

No, Clay, "is" was correct.

Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 5:45pm Caryn:

Certainly in terms of Canadian musical atrocities, Rush is probably not in the top 3, no matter how you slice it. Nickelback and Justin Bieber will probably be there, though. The third can be selected from a wide array of unfortunate Canadian acts, depending on your personal taste.

You used to like the Door?!?!
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:50pm Clay:

Kurt ... spark a fatty and put Vapor Trails on. Particularly, Earthshine. Fall in love all over again.
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:50pm Mother May 2:

Nope, I only hate bands I never liked. U2, REM, Elvis Costello...the list goes on. Never liked 'em. Never will.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 5:51pm Carmichael:

That's actually quite logical, Kurt! (Got back early from a meeting, off to another one)
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 5:52pm Kurt Gottschalk:

i was about to say u2 is the exception that proves the rule but, nope, foreign as it feels to say it i liked them until that sunday fucking sunday song.
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:54pm Clay:

Kurt ... what act do you like that would be hard to admit? A guilty pleasure.
Avatar Fri. 5/2/14 5:55pm KP:

great show
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:55pm Mother May 2:

Good point. I might have liked the first couple of bars of "I Will Follow," the first tune of theirs I heard the first time I heard it, but then I hated it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 5:56pm Carmichael:

I'm not proud. I used to like Tom Petty. But then I evolved.

I don't know ... sometimes I don't believe people. It's like they're just trying to protect some kind of street-credibility. I love T. Petty's "You Got Lucky." And the video.
  Fri. 5/2/14 5:58pm Clay:

And thanks for playing Kansas City Star!
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 5:58pm Caryn:

I was fine with U2 until about the mid-90s or so, so I guess I took longer to get sick of them. Plenty of acts I like individual songs from, but not their whole oeuvre. Even Chicago, Eagles and Styx.
Avatar Swag For Life Member Fri. 5/2/14 6:50pm Santos L Halper:

I love Rush. Full stop. Going to revisit Vapor Trails per your recommendation Clay; I recall being pleasantly surprised on first hearing.
