Title: Raised By Swans anyone?
Post by: MrTeapot on 05 Jan 2006, 05:50: Anyone else checking out Codes and Secret Longing by Raised by Swans? And are you loving it?

They have that post rock feel to them, and Eric Howden's voice is pretty damn sexy, despite being able to hit the high notes only a 12 year old choir boy could reach. No, I am not a Priest.
Title: yes. yes. yes.
Post by: terror on 08 Feb 2006, 14:29: I recently discovered Raised By Swans and I am pretty sure I'm in love.

A beautiful album for headphones or dark drives.

I'm dying to see them live.

Post by: terror on 13 Feb 2006, 12:00: 'These days'? Hahahaha are you sixty?

What's a 'good' brand name? Hamburger Helper? Doritos? Anal Cunt? Blah blah blah....not too many 'good' ones to be found, ever, anywhere. When was the 'Golden Age' of brand names? I guess I missed it. And what are 'good' brand names, anyway?

A brand name doesn't mean shit. Or at least, it might to the one or two people who came up with it. Take 'Kentucky Fried Chicken', for instance. Why was that guy's beard so fucking white? Who did he think he was?

Strange that these forums always seem to degenerate into vague, random references to white beards.

I'm so incredibly calm right now.....sigh.....I'm going to go to bed. 'Night, everyone.

Calm the fuck down, lady.

Anal Cunt?

Anal CUnt's name is supposed to be horrible. And it generally fits.

And yeah, calm down. Chill out.

Post by: terror on 13 Feb 2006, 21:10: Hmmmm....yes. Yes.

I'm terribly embarrassed, gentlemen - I thought we were talking about 'brand names', not 'band names'. And my response would have been much more measured if I had not been in post-electrics. I was typing that shit with ashes.

So, to clarify - Anal Cunt is a brand of icing. You know, like Duncan Hines. Man, I feel ridiculous.

Everything will be fine now. Thank you both for being so lovely.
