shunt  said about 5 years ago:

the power out is an amazing album. was just listening the other day driving through sugar cane fields and it still holds up. but everything else about them has kinda sucked - from the other albums to their super dull liveshow - so i hafta figure that record was just a fluke. what's the new one sound like?


LoadMyRig  said about 5 years ago:

fuck yeah!

i had compeltely forgotten about electrelane.

puts on the power out

noice one!


poprocks96  said about 5 years ago:

hey shunt, remember you lost yer tickets ?


djbollocks  said about 5 years ago:

lovely lasses - that b-sides comp is pretty cool.

i didn't find them dull live. i didn't think their show at the corner was as good as it could've been but it was hardly dull.


gunshot_glitter  said about 5 years ago:

"oh sombra" is a favourite...brighton accented spanish

and "I want to be the president" is on repeat

O LOVELY LASSES

Wednesday 9 May 2007
Electrelane + guests
The Scala, London
£12.50 + b/f


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

yes! that show cost me $130 or something due to "lost" tickets

so perhaps that tainted things for me slightly. they had a lot to live up to for that price


djbollocks  said about 5 years ago:

I remember a particuarly obnoxious friend of mine went out of his way at the corner show to tell the lead singer of Electrelane that I thought she was cute.


doyle  said about 5 years ago:

where were you?


djbollocks  said about 5 years ago:

i scurried off before he told her.


doyle  said about 5 years ago:

he certainly was obnoxious...


gunshot_glitter  said about 5 years ago:

I hate it when friends do that..thinking they are doing you a favour...did you find out what she said?

she probably has a line of indie male groupies and an equal line of female loving ones.


doyle  said about 5 years ago:

She just said "that's nice". I was there, but I wasn't the obnoxious one..


emmy hennings  said about 5 years ago:

fabulous band. their Corner show last year was tops. shame the audience were such a pack of po-faced, folded-arms, hipster killjoys who didn't want to dance. bah.


shunt  said about 5 years ago:

a pack of po-faced, folded-arms, hipster killjoys who didn't want to dance

sounds like an apt description of the band to me


gunshot_glitter  said about 5 years ago:

favourite Electrelane song?

Oh Sombra rates very highly..why..here are the lyrics now :

Como aquel que en soñar gusto recibe,
su gusto procediendo de locura,
así el imaginar con su figuravanamente su gozo en mí concibe.

Otro bien en mí, triste, no se escribe,
si no es aquel que en mi pensar procura;
de cuanto ha sido hecho en mi ventura
lo sólo imaginado es lo que vive.

Teme mi corazón de ir adelante,
viendo estar su dolor puesto en celada;
y así revuelve atrás en un instante

a contemplar su gloria ya pasada.
¡Oh sombra de remedio inconstante,
ser en mí lo mejor lo que no es nada!

__v  said about 5 years ago:

new single is up on their myspace - not sure yet

anyway, what a great band

interview here says that Australia wasn't one of their best touring experiences

which is a shame 'cause the show i saw was fucking excellent and it pleased me to think they might've enjoyed it too

oh well
