In Other Words, Fly

Dec 18, 2004 22:41

You know what I hate? When I'm looking to listen to a CD from some band, so I look at one, and I think, "This one is really familiar. Is there another one that I know less well?" I look at another and another, and it's the same. And since they released only three and then broke up, there will most likely never be any more.

Had similar thoughts provoked by the Doughty solo records that just got (re)released. Listening to enough of Doughty with just an acoustic guitar has made Soul Coughing songs sound different, though. That was a pleasant surprise.

I guess I did the opposite. After determining that none of the Soul Coughing LPs would satisfy me, I listened to Hello and Made Especially for You followed by Skittish. I'm really very curious what his new album is going to sound like.

If you google "in other words fly", most of the hits are Nat King Cole.

Have you heard the other Soul Coughing studio non-album stuff and/or Rockity Roll?

I'm curious about the new album, but I still feel a little burned from the mediocre live album (and the massive swindle of those Soul Coughing live releases, but there was some legal issue surrounding those which made me wonder if the band might not actually have had much control over them).

Maybe[1] and nope. I've heard the 3 Soul Coughing LPs and 2 EPs, Skittish, and Smofe + Smang.

I haven't heard the live albums, but I almost always prefer studio recordings.

[1] I have some MP3s that I totally forgot about until just now. I don't remember listening to them, and I don't know how accurate the labels are, but these are the songs that claim to be not live: 16 Horses, 212, Adolpha-Zantziger, Blow My Only, Buddha Rhubarb Butter, I Got to Get Right with This, I'm Livin' on Babyfood, Lemon Lime, Marching to Euphoria, Murder of Lawyers, Rare Star Ball, The Brooklynites, The Bug, The Coffee Song, The Plane Scraped Its Belly on a Sooty Yellow Moon, Theme From Rachel's Sitcom, These Are the Reasons, Unmarked Helicopters
