Frit O'lay really was the great song Daniel wanted everyone to know. Here you can here it so well. I mean when he played it live it was alright but here it's something else. Electric Ghosts!!
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Paul Kingston on April 01, 2006, 05:20:55 PM I received my copy a couple of days ago and it's great.
Not sure about track 9 though... :-D Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: ubertar on April 03, 2006, 10:01:18 AM I received my copy a couple of days ago and it's great. Not sure about track 9 though... :-D Yeah. This is definitely not a cd you can just leave in the player and let it keep running. Not too good for random play either. :-D Frito Lay is awesome. Could he get in trouble from the company? Actually it's so catchy and positive, I could easily see them wanting to use it in their ads. Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Henry Long on April 17, 2006, 03:13:32 PM Electric Ghosts-
I loved what I heard at the Important Records site (3 songs) and ordered it. I love what Jack Medicine has done in the past. I think he is definately under-rated. Also a wonderful cover of Daniel as Batman!!! Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: ubertar on April 18, 2006, 08:55:21 AM I was in a band with "Jack" for a while, a few years ago when he still lived in Brooklyn, called "Dead Chasing Love". It ended when the drummer moved to Europe (Italy, I think). We had one gig, at Tonic on the Lower East Side before the drummer left. "Jack" brought his dog to the show. The songs were his, and they sounded very much like the ones he wrote for Electric Ghosts. You don't have to check the liner notes to know which are his and which are Daniel's-- their styles are so different. I like to tease him about how he sings with an English accent. He's from Colorado.
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: lonelyloner on April 20, 2006, 04:57:10 AM WOAH! The artwork alone is worth getting this. "Blue Skies Will Haunt You From Now On" is certainly different.
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Jocookie on April 20, 2006, 05:51:46 AM Yeah great album and the artwork is excellent. nice to know Ron English still got to contribute.
Frito-Lay is a great song. However, and this this may sound a stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway, what is/are Frit O'lay??? Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Disfranchise on April 20, 2006, 06:36:34 AM a soda, right? We don't have it here so. I guess Daniel gave a character that name in the song because he likes it.
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: ubertar on April 20, 2006, 07:09:24 AM Frito Lay is a company that mostly makes potato chips (or crisps, on the other side of the pond). They used to be two companies... fritos were corn chips and lays were potato chips. I think they own the doritos brand as well, but I'm pretty sure they're a subsidiary of pepsico themselves. I guess you could google if you're really curious.
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Henry Long on April 20, 2006, 04:19:05 PM It's all code, man! Don't you guys know about A.J. Webberman? :-D
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: lonelyloner on April 20, 2006, 05:44:32 PM It's all code, man! Don't you guys know about A.J. Webberman? :-D HAHA, I heard "Electric Ghosts" synchs with the first BATMAN movie. POW!! :-D Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Henry Long on April 22, 2006, 11:44:05 AM I've been drinking Choc full o'nuts all morning and playing "Electric Ghosts." I love it.
Nice knowing, (from straining my eyes reading the nearly unreadable liner notes) that this CD is a "teaser" for the full record which Daniel wants to call "Phantoms of the Lost Girlfriends," to be finished by next summer. Good job, Mr. Goede. By the way, after hearing the "hidden" track, I have to ask: How the HELL did you get ANY SLEEP? Jeez-us! Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Henry Long on April 22, 2006, 07:13:02 PM Replying to my own posts. Is that necessarily a bad thing?
Anyway, I found an interesting use for track 9 (9+ minutes of Daniel snoring and other apparent sleep apnea sounds) It is now my answering machine message. Man, you'd have to REALLY REALLY want to leave a message!!! Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: ubertar on April 26, 2006, 09:51:01 AM Heard "Blue Skies Will Haunt You From Now On" on the radio yesterday. WFMU I think. The best of Don's songs on the record, IMO.
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: PaulTMA on May 02, 2006, 02:50:36 AM I take it this is much better than the Hyperjinx Triangle album? I only played that album once... I wasn't a fan of it, put it that way.
Title: Re: Electric Ghosts Post by: Disfranchise on May 02, 2006, 04:02:58 AM I was a bit disappointed aswell when I got the the hyperjinx tricycle album. The first song is great and the second is good aswell but the rest I didn't care too much for. I havn't had the privilege to hear the electric ghost album yet but from what I've heard it's difinitely a better album. It's worth buying only for Sweetheart (Frito Lay) and Row Boat in my opinion.
