The Long Winters

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and lends life to all that is good and just and beautiful."

I guess Plato was listening to The Long Winters.

I know this is a little off the subject but up until a year ago, I thought that Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans were like trekies. I never understood how you could like a TV show sooooo much. Now that I'm hooked on Buffy & especially Angel, I have a completely new respect for Star Trek folks.

Augh! I'm confused. Q, R, U, P, W? S! We should be on S, right? S is for Sean Nelson. and Shapes. and Stupid. and Saxes (the Long Horns). and Seattle. and Sex. oh, never mind that last one. I only threw in the W because there's a U up in the middle. You know? Sorry, I'm still learning the alphabet.

heeheehee

You guys are no fun.

Don't forget U.
U is for Unsalted Butter is my punishment.
U is for drink Up your life but only taste the dying.
U is for I'm leaving Under cover of darkness.
U is for you don't have to wait to come Undone.
U is for I Used to love them all but they burned me up.
U is for Uh, no, you are.

Q is for the Quiet Birdmen.

No?

They aren't members? Okay, I'll keep trying.

H is for hotrod

PC to Mac is compatible because the people at Mac are cool. If you say, type up a paper on your Mac and try to open it on a PC, it won't work, because the people at IBM are assholes. And, I don't think Soul Seek is compatible but there may be a Mac version.

but anyways, back in late february or early march i was listening to KEXP and the dj (i forget who) said that "through with love" was going to be the name of the next long winters record. i was thoroughly surprised and have heard nothing to back this up since then. ! That means, theoretically, that...

He has blue eyes. I think they are the same shade as Unremarkable's ocean.

Is that like, "don't give any brownies to the brown eyed one?"

Suggestions for the title of the third record?

I like "Laid Back and Proper."

I realize this is not a very Long Wintery album title. It's more of a Snoop Doggery title but I still like it.

Unremarkable, you are so clever. It's unsalted punishment.

It will also probably not be anything we expected.

I agree and I'm sure we will all be blown away. When I heard WIPTF for the first time, I sat in my car and cried. I couldn't believe my ears. I was overwhelmed. Of course, I'd like that to happen again.

Of course I'm sure whatever they put will be pure gold.

Thanks Unremarkable...that's what I was looking for.

I understand that everyone here loves the music...what I'm saying is...the two releases thus far are very different from each other, both amazing but with different sounds.

Just out of curiosity...if you had a say on what the new record would sound like...would you prefer more uplifting, intelligent pop music...or a return to the dark poetic, more industrial sound on the first record? Or maybe a brand new direction?

hell, I think I'll join the gay marriage discussion instead, the abortion thing gets me down immensely Since we're discussing abstinence and birth control. Does anyone want to discuss the US's contributions to fight AIDS only if people are abstinent? Or how about the fact that the US will only cont...
