Cool groups I might have joined, with illustrative songs, had I only applied myself in high school band, where the other percussionists monopolized the drums and forced me to play xylophone and glockenspiel (*shakes fist*) because I’d come through a junior high program with compulsory bells and they hadn’t:
- U2, “I Will Follow“*
- Elvis Costello, “Veronica“*
- The Velvet Underground, “Sunday Morning“†
- The Jimi Hendrix Experience, “Little Wing“†
- Radiohead, “No Surprises“
- Arcade Fire, “Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)” [Hell's bells, indeed, at 4:00!]
- OK Go, “This Too Shall Pass” [Marching band remix!]
*except I wasn’t to high school yet
†except I wasn’t born yet
Wow ~ you’ve become a great source of teatime entertainment! Steve & I just rocked out to all 7 songs during elevenses.
Our votes:
Most fun video/song = This Too Shall Pass (recently performed by OK Go on Stephen Colbert’s Report)
Most sexy glock = Arcade Fire (lady in black with red leggings and armings)
Most WTF glock moment = Arcade Fire 4 minute mark
Most interesting song lyrics new to us = Veronica
In all but the Arcade Fire and OK Go videos, the glock performer(s) was conspicuously absent!
Steve thinks you need to produce a Glock Rock CD compilation!
Snarky comment of the day: Did you hear all of these while walking the dogs or “working” on your paper?
XXXOOO
Hmm, well, I’ve got another song for you then! Absolutely nothing to do with glock rock. But I send this one out to you and Steve! It could become your eleveneses theme song!
“There ain’t no party like my [Aunt Mary's] tea party / Hi, ho”
Behold: Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros.
OK, you’re officially booked as our teatime DJ!!!
Flight of the Conchords are pretty fly for some white guys.
Gotta love the teatime reference and video!
