When all else fails though, if all seems lost; I spin up Gish and the world’s ‘perfect’ once again. [/quote:11xo3wnp]

This morning I was listening to a live CD from 1993 –

Iha: It’s of course always nice to be back in France. Whenever… whenever we break a string it gives us a small time to talk about ourselves. How much fish
Corgan: Does anyone know how to change a guitar string? It’s very embarassing. So speaking of fish, this is off our debut album ‘Fish'[/quote:11xo3wnp]

yeah um Teargarden…. my EP should be arriving in the post today – finally! I like it better than the first EP – and from the sounds of it, the vinyl is better quality too.

[marigold]

I just think they’re overrated. Just as U2 (uuuuh, that Bono creep!) and Iron Maiden.[/quote:3dvs5xyg]

I’m going to see U2 on Friday
I wish I was going to see Muse again, they missed out NZ this time – only Australian dates this December. And 2 concerts each for Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne too…
They sure can put on a decent live show. [/quote:3dvs5xyg]

… and Muse are supporting U2 on their South American tour

[marigold]

I think its alright.

It is basically a b-side.[/quote:22jb37j3]
Agree. But it doesn’t reach the quality of this b-side (of Disarm).

[/quote:22jb37j3]

Definitely not reaching the quality of Soothe, it sounds like a round-the-campfire song.

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

and

You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.

U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday

I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long
Cause tonight, we can be as one tonight

Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long
Cause tonight
We can be as one
Tonight, tonight

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Oh, wipe your tears away
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Oh, wipe your bloodshot eyes
Sunday, bloody Sunday

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

(Sunday, bloody Sunday)

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On

Sunday bloody Sunday, yeah
Sunday bloody Sunday

[marigold]

U2 tonight!!!

That’s Muse, Jakob, SP, U2 this year – a good year for concerts.

Actually if Muse could just make a little trip over the Tasman Sea next week…

[marigold]

this is a live version of Cottonwood Symphony, I wonder how different it is now?

[marigold]

If you follow, let him lead you
He will take you out of this masked life
Into reality and waking you up
From a cycle of death and rebirth
Opening your eyes to another world
Another plan that has been in the making
For as long as we have breathed
Look back into the past and you’ll see
That the only choice we have left
Is to leave

[marigold]

uh oh – 2 different vinyls!!!!

j/k, I think its the front and back of the vinyl

The constellation chart looks cool. What is on the CD sleeve? A caterpillar? I don’t understand all the artwork connections. Maybe it’s another machina mystery.
I’ve ordered mine, but I think it’s gonna take about 2 weeks to get here.

<<^^ that was a good one

………………………………………

A sense of knowing, distorted meaning
The simple truth found in eternity
An understanding of returned feeling
A shared sympathy buried in dignity

In knots and riddles, going round in circles
Wrapped up in traditional fashion
Illustrated examples of perfect symbols
Taking an alternative direction

Something that so easily defies the mind
Influential words from a distant voice
Presenting a static view of time
Too far away to even see a choice

The zeros make another appearance
Disillusioned by what they have seen
Something awoken, taking a chance
To relive an era from their dreams

Joining tribal echoes that match their own

[marigold]

I just think they’re overrated. Just as U2 (uuuuh, that Bono creep!) and Iron Maiden.[/quote:2v1d9162]

Muse
U2
Sting/The Police

-although with all of these I like their older stuff better and not too excited about what they are releasing next.

[marigold]

A path to guide the silent
A flashback distant
Forget about the time
A lifetime wilted away

Is that where you stand
Overlooking everything
Summing up the glories
Seeing what’s ahead

The days go marching on
As the ants march uphill
Bearing weights of the world
Going in the same direction

Forward thinking, forward march
Never changing their form
It’s the madness of today
As their eyes turn to look away

[marigold]

That’s all you get
One window of opportunity
And before it closes
Take your chance

Make the most of it
Don’t wait too long
It’s shattering now
The glass is free

[marigold]

I haven’t ordered mine yet. Need to buy something else as well to justify the ridiculous postage costs. Just not sure what else to get right now.

Looks like there’s no extra obelisk or whatever with this one. Or maybe it’s a surprise!

[marigold]

To RBD:

A dedication to the past
The lyrics and the songs
Finding hidden treasures
They were buried long ago

Make a record of it now
To fill in all the gaps
One by one others join
Adding their own piece

Mysteries revealed
The puzzle put together
Trials and tribulations
The history now shared

This small part of the legacy
Many more stories to be found
Your commitment is so awesome
And it’s also mighty wyrd

[marigold]

Stepping out of the dark
Envisioning your songs
The mastery of melodies
Is where your heart belongs

A mischievous twinkle lies
Behind that vampire grin
These sonnets of yours
Born from passion within

Seeking out a new theme
A kaleidyscope of tunes
An ode to past heartaches
Or a voyage to the moon

And where you find your freedom
There’s more beyond the stage
It’s your choice to continue
No longer the rat in a cage

So send a message to the world
A timeless story you build
Of mysteries and gentle myths
To ensure your fate is fulfilled

…to be continued, perhaps.

no prizes for guessing who that’s about.

[marigold]

whoah, that IS a little pricey!

[marigold]

she treads the waves
sailing from the dawn
with a dragon-shaped prow
silver wings on the bows

a journey headed east
beyond the lonely isles
where secret creatures wait
for their chance to be free

the voyagers go ashore
hearing drumbeats and voices
a magician’s spell is cast
what was hidden now revealed

so the travelers sail on
and unbeknown to them
the Kraken sleeps below
dwelling in the deep

but the real perils lie ahead
not for the faint-hearted
sea-serpents and sleeping giants
emerging and transforming

the battles are not lost
for the warriors of the sea
they show their strength of spirit
with the help of a little magic

their onward quest
to seek the very end
but the journey doesn’t end
where sky and water meet

[marigold]

It’s that time again
For the freaks to appear
In costumes and masks
To surprise and cause fear

Out of the shadows
With a gruesome face
A Thriller zombie
Now keeps up the pace

A witch on her broom
A scary masked clown
Demons, ghosts and skeletons
A devil with his frown

And at the end of the night
They’ll all disappear
To return to this place
And haunt again next year

[marigold]

As the ghosts bide their time
Waiting for the night
When they can walk between worlds
Enter the land of the living
Remembering their past
And find themselves again
They got lost along the way
But here once again
Discovering their truth
They can move on

[marigold]

Following the waves
Of the soul’s journey
Don’t get caught up
In the tempests of the night

And those who’ve lost their way
Will try to drag you down
Every time you’ve done your best
To try and heal their wounds

What the dawn brings
You can never know
But sail on with hope
And leave the past behind

[marigold]

might be using the spfreaks chat now that the electropopmedia chat has been killed off. Some of us from the oboard just can’t use the fancy technology (audio and video) on the new tinychat room.

[marigold]

no, not from you!
but thank you – it’s more about the whole economic crash, and the drive for profit, which is unsustainable in the long run (we keep going backwards). But I ‘borrowed’ a few words and lines from some songs I know.
