Wednesday!

Jaybird 7 Comments

Was going to call this one “Glossolalia!” but, yeah, It’s Wednesday.

Like everybody else on the planet, I bought Blue Bell Knoll off of the strength of the song Carolyn’s Fingers (I don’t know why I bothered linking it as I’m sure you already have it). They put lyrics in the insert but, yeah, they’re not particularly useful if you want to follow along with the song.

See? She wasn’t singing in anything close to English. She may have been singing in “Angel”.

Well, if you’re like me, you busted that cd out every four years or so and listened to it non-stop in the car for a month before putting it back on the shelf to gather dust again.

Well, a few years back, a video game called Assassin’s Creed came out and the commercial featured a song by Massive Attack and, if you’re like me, you remembered that you had Collected on a shelf somewhere (or, I suppose, if you were a hipster you had Mezzanine sitting on a shelf) and spent the next month listening to that album on the strength of this song:

And then, if you’re like me, you only just realized in the last week that HOLY COW SHE’S THE VOCALIST ON BOTH SONGS!!!!

Of course, if you aren’t like me at all, you’ll have a completely different answer to the question:

So… what are you listening to?

  1. I am listenning to talk radio and the Best of Metalica.

  2. I have nothing new to add, but since I don’t feel like sifting back through links to find the almost-named-Darwin! post, I’ll say this here:

    Countless mega-thanks for bringing One eskimO into my life. I have been listening to that album almost constantly over the past week or two.

    Props, dude.

  3. I didn’t know Teardrop had a vocalist. For the obvious reason.

  4. Teardrop is a mindblowing song. Love being a verb and a doing word is one of the most awsome lines.
