I will turn blank and perish ! if you do not watch them. Really? Who knows? I'm not telling. They sure looked pretty ghoulish back then,

in that week in Cardiacs.

[alphatroll]

ok, watched the first so far, it's....... interesting?

Were there two drummers or am I confused? and that sax player *is* a *guy*, right?

on to the next.....

[alphatroll]

one more survived...... you really do like to challenge folks, doncha Hair?

*Surely* that was a prop keyboard..... i can't imagine vinyl-upholstered keys would help playability much......

and the sax player seemed a *little* more convincing, tho i didn't see as much of her/him/it....

....seems kinda like Devo but with accents so thick even *I* can't understand a single word (I'm *pretty* sure it's in English, right?)

[alphatroll]

ok, 3 down..... hey, i understood some words in that one! "Never" was one of 'em, right?

still not quite sure about that sax player......

[alphatroll]

Hmmm, can't really say the lighty flashy colory stuff was disappointing, they did warn me after all.....

hey, waitaminit...... you're already all blank and perished, Hair! You fooled us! well, me anyway..... anybody else who looks at these, don't pay any attention to this comment. I don't wanna be the ONLY one fooled.....

Report Follows Up:

The sax is a wife, and these are some lyrics:

I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons
Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...

Time is of the essence, shall I put up some resistance?
Cursed with the awareness of my own existance
It's only a matter of...

Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail
That boxes me together forever it forms the seal
Is the knowledge of my own existance real?

I find I understand the rules but cannot find the reasons
Do they include everything and they change for every season
It's only a matter of...

Time tends to pass by quicker than the nail
That boxes me together forever it forms the seal
Is the knowledge of my own existance real?

A slice of life a piece of mind
Laid on a plate of my own kind
I'll take a key from the gravy
And unlock the cage that holds the ravens in

What's it like flying high?
I've a cone for a beak, but the tar makes me cry
That holds me together, tarred and feathered

Breathing home, hoping for the day
The radio and television's thrown the rest away
Oh dear me, look who's come around
Now all I have to do is hide my body in the ground
It's all I have to do

When they who to the sea go down
And in the waters ply their toil
Are lifted on the surges crown
And plunged where seething eddies boil

one more survived...... you really do like to challenge folks, doncha Hair?

Eh? I never thought of Cardiacs as some sort of acquired taste, I know the songs are pretty kinetic, but what's so challenging about it? The video?
The music fills me with large feelings, their videos wrap my heart up in warm blankets. Just trying to spread the love.

My love for you Alpha! My love for youuuuuu!

[alphatroll]

My love for you Alpha! My love for youuuuuu!

ummmm.... is that safe?

and as far as "taste"...... it was just WAYYYYY confusing..... not sure how or if i should be reacting or what....... i can't help but wonder if chemical enhancement is neccessary for proper appreciation? I'll read those lyrics later, only get 2 hours a day online.....

The last one was kinda funny, but still felt like a vague & not completely successful attempt at Pythonic humor.....

and in what country is is legal to marry a saxophone? just curious, mind you....

[The Flying Dracula Hair]

Well, I don't do drugs, and it seems to translate just fine. Just a specific kind of thing I suppose. I think whatever you're feeling is fine :)

The last one was kinda funny, but still felt like a vague & not completely successful attempt at Pythonic humor.....

Really? Anyway too me, it be it's own humor. Cardiacs are pretty cult actually, and I think most other fans have accepted it as pure Tim Smith (the orchestrate) as well.

Perhaps I don't have the right operating system or something.....

[The Flying Dracula Hair]

I think your operating system is fine. I like your operating system!

Operate on me, doctor!
