soulrocket says
electralane are great. i bought their first 7" back in the mid-90s & recently re-discovered them. ive been playing "no shouts no calls" these days.
i wonder how minnesotian accent sounds, maybe there are some recordings on the "acting with an accent" series. you dont want to know how my english sounds.
Marigold says
Danny, I have heard that some of Electrelane's older stuff is not as good? I still intend to check some of the older stuff out, but have not gotten around to it just yet. If you read my initial post out loud that is the exagerated Minnesota accent. However, with your Spanish accented English and then talking like a Minnesotan would be quite interesting to hear. lol.
Flux, Thanks for stopping by.
Anna and Danny, If you have ever seen the movie Fargo, that is a pretty good interpretation of the exagerated Minnesotan accent.
Anna says
Ooooohh, now I get it. That is an accent that is very hard for me to understand. You come with subtitles for your Greek friend, don't ya? As am I :)
It would be interesting to hear MOGgers' voices and accents!
Marigold says
not sure if you watched any of the videos from my beer trip post about a month ago. I do some talking in that there thing if you have not seen it. I am sure I have a bit of an accent but I am not sure how much. I supose someone from down south in Kentucky might think I have an accent. aye?
Anna says
Must have missed that, just gave it a view and listen. I don't know what stands by American standards, all I know is that you make perfect sense to me. Woo hoo :)
Marigold says
no subtitles were needed? Well that is good to hear. I tend to have a more understandable accent while drunk. lol.
I aggree it would be fun to hear some people's accents. I really want to hear soulrocket's Spanish accent while reading the Minnesota accent stuff I typed earlier. That would be a good to hear.
Is there such a thing as a greek accent?
Marigold says
ha. good stuff. You do have a bit of an accent and it is pretty bitchen!
You should have seen my co-workers look in my direction when they heard my computer (your voice in this case) said Mike. It was was pretty funny, they said why is that girl saying your name. It was priceless.
Now can you do another one...here is what l want you to say: "Mike you look so sexy when you do that thing with the beer mug." LOL
I am just got done kicking a cold myself I hope you kick yours. Mine lasted about 2 weeks. It was terrible. Everyone here seems to be getting this nasty 2 week cold. Get well.
Anna says
ha ha ha
I'll do it for 50 Euros. Now is the time that someone should call Voice Vice, LOL!
Thankies. Here's hoping the germs will get what they deserve!
soulrocket says
that was great, ana. very schooled. im afraid i cant say the same. i learned all my english on the streets, which means first thing i learned was to swear, ask for a beer & the name of the next door dealer..
my ex-gf (she is from wales) said i sounded like a dutch on dope, so go figure. i dont have a mic to record myself at the moment but i could prepare something really stupid in the near future. i wont dissapoint.
Marigold says
Danny, I look forward to your "dutch on dope" sounds. Lol, that should be interesting.
Sarah, Oh geez, you know me and my crazy Minnesota accent. Glad you like the tunes!
HelenMarie says
Great Saturday tune-gettin into those piano chords fo sho.
Did anyone mention the movie _Fargo_, that's a good 2 hours full of the Minnesotian accent and movie wierdness.
How cool was that hearing Anna's voice!!! It'd be interesting to hear just about everyone's voices after chatting with keyboard clicks and taps for so long. Cool post here Marigold!
*: )*
Marigold says
Sunnydelight, er I mean SunshineDaydream, This post is actually pretty funny, I never knew that this is the direction it would go in. I simply had a bit of a buzz last night and was feeling goofy and decided to type my post in Minnesotan.
Fargo did get mentioned as well. Glad you stopped by.
HelenMarie says
Darn right it's a funny one! See what happens when you get a buzz. Friends & I have too much fun when we tie one on. Almost everything is a just bit more fun with a buzz (I always _try_ not to over do it, though it's hard once we've started-drinking that is)
You've got quite a few comments up here so I just tried to scan through, should've figured you'd mention fargo. Cheers!!!!
Dale says
Oh, OK, you were just doing a schtick. That's cool. I live in the great land of no-accent, but if I dug back a bit, I could still pull out a California surfer-dude accent, if I really wanted to.
And I am SO JEL that I have to come to your post to hear Anna's voice for the first time. If she wasn't my twin sister, I'd be experiencing severe swoonage!
soulrocket says
lets ask for chat voice & cam features, that would be fun. as soon as we get the "no way, jose" reply it would be the best moment to ask for 2 songs for post (instead of posting it on comments). viva la revolucion.
Anna says
Aw thankies for the kind words. I'm sure you're all secretely making fun of my thick accent at another post I haven't found yet :P
This is so much fun. I'm wondering if we should make a post and ask people to record and post their voices!
Girlcrawl says
Thanks much for the introduction to Electrelane - really enjoyed their sound, and will now add to the must have list. We peeps with accents need to stick together ya see! Cheers.
Marigold says
Sunshine, Aggree. I really am amazed the direction this post went. It just needed a little buzz to get it goin. :)
Girlcrawl, I strongly suggest checking out No Shouts No Calls. Glad you stopped by accent and all.
Lady Miss Ian, Oh Geez. Thanks for checkin in, especially being from Minnesoooota it means a lot to know ya got my back. We should go ice fishin some time.
bubb says
Interesting sound! I definitely enjoyed it and have to check Electrelane out now.
Thanks
Also makes me want to listen to some 'Prefab Sprout' now as well.
bubb says
Yes, that was a female singing, wasn't it? I like 'Prefab Sprout's female vocalist, as well. Unless I'm getting my bands mixed up here. I could be.
Marigold says
I am not familiar with Prefab Sprout...thus my confusion. Dont worry it is all me on this one. But yes, Electrelane is an all female group. Glad you liked and thanks for stopping by.
Like your Packers over Vikes pick. However, I am a little nervous with the Pack. This is a game they should win....so it could be a trap game and they could lose. Actually, if they win this week...that will give me a little confidence that the Pack is maybe for real. <<< see, just "maybe" for real. I am still a doubting Packer fan, I know. It has just been some lean years as of late and I do not want to get my hopes up to high.
bubb says
Thanks Marigold. You're Absolutely right. It could very well be a trap game. Hopefully Favre won't go back into his can't win a game in a 'Dome' mode like several years back.
There was a time when he couldn't win in a dome. But I think he's over that. And should be with this years team, i hope.
poebegone says
mike, i love this! i do, i do! it's like if Laetitia Sadier and Jim Reid started a band together instead of their respective bandmates. or something.
i love the discussion on accents. mine sounds strange, too. and here's a stoopid question: what does it mean to "take a sauna"?
btw, your beer posts weren't accentey like Fargo.
Marigold says
Poe, thanks for stopping by. Glad you like. I must admit, I have come back this cd many times this summer and I am never dissapointed. It is great front to back and I had an extremely hard time picking a song to post for this one. Here is another one for you. It is the opening track and pretty much smokes me everytime.
~awE6wNjjS7S.mp3~
As for the accents. Keep an eye out on Anna's page. When she is feeling better, she is going to create a voice post where the plan is to record our voices for fun.
You may have busted me. I do not really have that much of a Minnesotan accent. I may have exagerated a bit on this post. :)
poebegone says
ohh man i died with that latest mp3, i absolutely love it. infinite thanks, mike.
believe me, listening to my voice is anything but fun. but i would love to listen to y'all talking, then the boy flood can go mix 'em in a track. (;
