Pooh & Stereophonics

Posted over 2 years ago
So, I wanted/ needed another job for as long as I'm still here. I proposed to a concert organizing company to write at the their site (I feel that I'm using bad grammar here, but I am not sure as to what should be corrected) pre and after concert group reviews. Their site is Very neglected & it is my personal strong belief that they need that. But I found out on Saturday that the owner doesn't think he could use such a service. Pity for them and pity for me. I think that most businessmen/women here do not fully comprehend internet's promotional power and the low cost it has. So, pooh :(((On a different note, I lost my "Stereophonics":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereophonics virginity on Saturday with Devil. A friend of mine who DJs at a bar played it and I'm obsessed with it; depressed post-punk revival music makes me so happy and this song has it all. The vid has a low sound/image quality, but there is a Sin City aesthetic surrounding it (mirrors & band aside), from black and white with some red highlights to its scenario, so:Here is the song, high quality sound style:p.s. I dreamed that I made this post and Neill came over here and told me that Stereophonics suck...haha

  1. SA says I heart the Stereophonics. :) One of my fav bands. I've listened to their album "You gotta go there to come back" so many teams. There last album with "Devil" is also great to listen to. Here's a concert of them they did last year to promote their last album. Devil is track number 6. ;) Recorded by Fabchannel.com

  7. Rawkkiddoh says Stereophonics suck, as do Placebo and pirates! Kidding, love the stereophonics, and really liked the video you posted. As for the job prospect, I think that most businessmen/women here do not fully comprehend internet’s promotional power and the low cost it has. That is so true, and over time I am sure he will learn that the hard way.

  9. SA says If you go to the fabchannel.com site and type in stereophonics there you can also get the concert but without the annoying pieces in between songs where the volume suddenly shoots up (unless they've changed that on the site as well) he, what a typos in my first post, that's what you get for typing in a hurry eh? ;)

  10. Nixne Svix says I got into Stereophonics about the same time I got into Carina Round , on that trip to San Fran...anyhow , i dig them alot, I love thier b-side LP the best but JEEP and the newest are good. They have a double live album but thier choice of cuts pisses me off. But I will post all my singles , the live shit and thier 3 LP's...I really thought you would of heard of them B.Capulet....sorry! Now I guess I have to look back thru my shit and think does Greece need my CD collection...oh and hello my lady, how are you?

  11. triff says stereophonics do suck, at least in my weird little world. can't stand the girly-named frontman's whiney, drawn out tones and the fact all their records sound the same these days. i'm off to have a smoke and ponder the meaning of 'post-punk revival' :)

  12. Anna says Kevin, your first sentence made my eyes pop a lil' bit...:) Yeah..just look at how many bands choose to promote themselves via the internet. Imagine how much a concert organizing company can get out of a similar promotion pattern. Aw, Britt, thank you. "Lemmings" har har :-* Stefan, thanks for the heads up. The live version of Devil up there paralyzed me a lil' bit ;) I didn't even notice it, dear :) No worries, Cam. Oh, and they are all over the place on multiply, so I can spare you the trouble of uploading them :) Thank you tho :) I'm meh.

  17. Joxley says Although they don't suck, I think they can be a bit..inconstistant. I love these two though...

  18. Nixne Svix says The first one is oneof my favorites too Jox. Yes their double live album tracks just plain sucked , 2 discs and it still sucked. You have ta try and do that.......

  19. Me and the Horse I Rode In On says Stereophonics has never been an addiction for me. I like the "Maybe Tomorrow" song but that is about it.

  20. Neill says p.s. I dreamed that I made this post and Neill came over here and told me that Stereophonics suck…haha . Or maybe you just read my post last year; http://mog.com/Neill/blog_post/28245 . LAST YEAR....LOL!

  21. Joxley says Oh yeah, you should also all look at Kelly's solo project "Only the Names have been Changed" Here is Katie from that album...
    Permalink posted 03/11/2007
  22. Anna says Ha, I knew Maybe Tomorrow, but didn't know who was singing it. The second song is a bit jolly for me. He's solo is depressive, I likey :) Thanks for the vids, Joxy! Neill, LOL! You are ruling over my subconscious! Thanks, Cam, I'll let you know. Also, if Triff and SA make a band, they will have to hire me ;)

  23. ebuzzmiller says anna dear, you MUST pick up their album "Just Enough Education To Perform" - absolutely one of the best British rock albums of the past decade. Drove from Milan to the coast down to Monte Carlo a few years ago, just had the CD on auto repeat. JEEP is just such a great record - here's a single from it, "Have a Nice Day":

  26. ebuzzmiller says and finally, again from JEEP, "Vegas Two Times" - which opens the album. sorry about not getting that writing gig dogg - but hey, if the guy doesn't "get it", why would you wanna work for him anyway, right???

  27. angeldawn says I agree with Nixne about the Anna lookalike. Someone check Anna's car trunk. Let him out, Anna! There's no good that can come from this. Stereophonic's Dakota is getting much play on my mp3 these days. Blame Veronica Mars.

  28. Anna says My dogg, thank you for the advice. Isn't this like the politically incorrect version of your first vid hehe: Thanks for the vids. Vegas Two Times...mmm... Yeah, you're right, it just seemed like a good thing to do :( Thanks, Cam! Oh, Angela...it's not me, I swear. (the bastard had it coming!) ahhahahah Much good can come from it actually! :)

  31. fairportfan says (Somewhere in a lonely hotel room there's a guy starting to realize that eternal fate has turned its back on him.) "It's 2 a.m., the fear has gone. I'm sitting here waiting with the gun still warm. Maybe my connection is tired of taking chances. Yeah, there's a storm on the loose: sirens in my head. Wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead. I cannot decode. My whole life spins into a frenzy. "Help! I'm slipping into the Twilight Zone. The place is a madhouse; it feels like being cloned. My beacon's been moved under moon and star. Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?" Soon you are gonna know — when the bullet hits the bone. "I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown: a double-crossed messenger, all alone. I can't get no connection, can't get through. Where are you?" Well, the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind. This far from from the border line. And when the hitman comes, he knows damn well he has been cheated. And he says: "Help! I'm slipping into the Twilight Zone. The place is a madhouse; it feels like being cloned. My beacon's been moved under moon and star. Where am I to go now that I've gone too far?" Soon you are gonna know — when the bullet hits the bone.

  34. fairportfan says Waldorf - this is sorta scarey. The spookiest version of *Copacabana* i ever heard/saw was Liza Minelli's on - *The Muppet Show*. In the last verse, with the costume and the makeup and the storyline, she just looked altogether too damned much like her mother. Scarey/creepie. Big time. Ah - here it is! (Slightly less creepie, but still Odd - apparently at some time Loudon Wainwright's family lived next to Judy. One of the Loudy's songs - can't recall if it's on *Attempted Mustache* or *Third* - is addressed to those days, and how Liza apparently used to say that she would never be in show business.
    (Last verse ends:
    "...this is your kiddie car chauffer who speaks i'm afraid you got the curse and now you got that oscar i don't think you'll be a nurse..."

  35. Redvers Gerund says This must be a 'special relationship' thing. Can't be doing with these fellows - dismal throaty nonsense. Kelly Jones is the bitterest pill I ever did forget to take. And he hates pop.

  36. Anna says Pimpy, ah ye, ny birdy knows her stuff :) Waldorf, sucks ack puke barf! :P Mike, thank you for the lyrics..where from? Redvers Gerund, I take it that this is slang for "they suck". Why don't you tell us how you *really* feel? ;)

  37. fairportfan says Oops. I've asked *Anna* to remove the previous post where i reposted the *Copacabana*. Got confuse what i said where. looking back, i see she must have been referring to the song i quoted in its entirety - it's *Twilight Zone* by Golden Earring, and had a Reeellly Kewl video that got heavy airplay on MTV - dancing Nazi showgirls with Great Big hypodermics and all sorts other surreal stuff...

    I think you can probably see why your video post put me in mind of it. And i see that, as i had thought but didn't get around to fixing, the site where i got it had the lyric slightly wrong - it's "i feel like i'm being cloned", it's "feels like being cloned". ('Course, i was wrong, too - i thought i recalled "feels like i'm being cloned"...) (Looks as if MTV had a slightly different version, since i don't recall them having to censor the tits, and they definitely would have, having censored Joan Jett's one-finger-salute in her *Bad Reputation* video...)

  40. Jammy Jeff says *treads carefully in on coversation* I have to agree with Triff, they kinda pass me by. I like the odd single, especially "Mr Writer", "Have A Nice Day", and "Dakota", but for some reason a whole album is a hard proposition for me. Sorry Anna:o)*runs out quickly*

  41. Dale says That song was pretty good, sure enough. I've not been a fan of the Stereophonics to date, so I'd have missed this otherwise. Thanks. And again, so sorry to head about the job falling through. Keep your spirits up, though, something better will come along, no doubt.

  42. Anna says Mike, yeah, I see how this came to your mind. Thank for the vid! That red stripe that censored her breasts made me laugh for some reason :) I fancy the playing-cards concept. No worries about the lyrics :) My pleasure, Adam! :) Hey, come back here, Jammy! :)Aw, no problem, honestly. :) From what I've gathered here, they have some dark songs and some melow ones, and, of course, I find myself attracted to the dark ones :) You're welcome, bro. You know were to find more S ;) I hope so...thanks, dear, means a lot. Mike....

  45. fairportfan says Now, when we talk about *That Bear* (which is the name of a children's-clothes-and-other-stuff shop in Greenville SC where i grew up - it was originally named *Pooh Corner* on a handshake deal with the A.A.Milne estate until either Disney or Sears got cranky and rattled their lawyers...), let us distinguish between The Real Bear:
    or the abomination perpetrated by Disney and their co-conspirators
    on generations of less-and-less literate kids who will never bother to find and enjoy the original books...

  48. Anna says Nah, Mike, Ashley said that about the ones who didn't give me the job I wanted. Thanks, lady! :))) Yikes....some difference between the two bears. The generations of less-and-less literate kids is something that is very often on my mind btw. Taking a look at the terrible cartoons kids are watching this day makes you shudder.

  49. fairportfan says As to less-and-less literate kids - are you familiar with Arthur Ransome
    Permalink posted 03/13/2007
  50. fairportfan says Are you familiar with Arthur Ransome's holiday adventure books - children, sailboats and adventures, published between 1930 and 1948? The kids in those range from about seven to about thirteen (in the first book) and the books appear to have been written to be read by children in that general age bracket*; these days, i hesitate to hand them to most high school students cold. Heck, i'd hesitate to hand them to a lot of college students. *(And up - i still reread a couple of them every so often, particularly *We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea*, which would make one heck of a kids' film even today - with no violence, sex or potty mouth dialog, but plenty of danger and action, as four kids find themselves at sea on a borrowed forty-foot yacht with no fuel for the engine or to light their running lamps to keep them safe if they meet other ships - in the middle of a nasty North Sea gale...)
