What music or band do dwellars remind you of?

Picking on the two that gave me the idea....

Petezataco: Chicago

Momster: Warren Zevon


and a couple obvious ones....


gravdigr: Lynyrd Skynrd

shaw: Alman Brothers

Dana: U2

Allman Brothers? 'Cause one of me slept with Cher?

I would think The Pretenders. ;)

jim: Led Zeppelin

foot: Guns 'N Roses

Zen: Earth Wind and Fire

Trilby: Fleetwood Mac

Adak, tw, Urbane: The Talking Heads

Totally.

Jim is def. Led Zep.

DanaC---more the Smiths or the Cure.

InfiniM---Four Non-Blondes

tw-Leo and the Pharmacists

Jaydaan- the Eagles

monster-Rage at the Machine

Clod-Talking Heads

Gravdigr-that guy who sings about being drunk the day his momma got out of prison

UT-any Superfunk

Crimson Ghost - I'm Rick James Bitch!

wolf-Patsy Cline

glatt- Beatles

footfootfoot-Stones

regular.joe-the New Christy Minstrels

Lola Bunny-the Archies (I'm thinking of Sugar, Sugar here)

Oh! forgot Sundae!

She'd be hard to pin down----a Waltzing Matilda type with notes of Kasey Chambers.


Lola Bunny could also be Carly Rae Jepson. No offense---she's just really cute.

IF StaceyV were around she'd be Katy Perry.

Guns n roses? WTF?

This is the only GNR song I like:

'Cause of your love of guns and your rosey outlook? I tend to think on these things differently.

I sure don't know how I'm the Allman Brothers. Not a big southern rock fan, here.

Except for the song Southern Cross.

I thought Southern Cross was CSN&Y?

Sweet Mel~lisa?

Yeah, I meant as far as Southern Rock goes. I think of Southern Cross because of the whole Southern thing I guess...but I knew it was CSN&Y.

Undertoad;853541 wrote:

Ahhh, yeah, that might be it.

edit: and Jim confirms. Sorry for my obtuseness. Obtusity? Obtuitiousness?

I haven't been stereotyped in a coupla posts, do me again.

Neil is from the southern part of Canadia.
"...I hope Neil Young will remember,
A southern man don't need him around anyhow..."

Gravdigr is Slim Pickins.

foot is FRankie Goes to Hollywood.

Gravdigr is a man of means by no means


King of the Road

he knows every engineer on every train
all of the children; and all of their names'
And every hand out in every town

and evey lock that ain't locked when no ones around

I say...trailers for sale or rent
rooms to let; fifty cents.
No phone no pool no pets;
I ain't got no cigarettes...

Nah, Grav is Seasick Steve :P



Also, I'd add just a touch of Cyndi Lauper to Fleetwood Mac for Tril.

Can I be a song? I wanna be Angie Baby.

Because she's crazy nutso and the song never made a damn bit of sense to me. Is dude, like, stuck in the radio?

You live your life in the songs you here
On your rock and roll radio
And when a young girl doesn't have any friends
It's a really nice place to go
Folks hoping you'd turn out cool
But they had to take you out of school
You're a little touched you know
Angie baby
Lovers appear in your room each night
As they whirl accross the floor
But they always seem to fade away
When your daddy taps on your door
Angie girl are you alright?
Tell the radio goodnight
All alone once more angie baby

Angie baby
You're a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well maybe
Stopping at her house is a neighbour boy
With evil on his mind
Cos he's been peeking in angies room
At the night through the window blind
I see your folks have gone away
Won't you dance with me today
I'll show you how to have a good time
Angie baby
( angie baby ) (angie baby )
When he walks in the room
He feels confused
Like he walked into a play
And the music's so loud
It spins him around
Till his soul has lost it's way
And as she turns the volume down
He's getting smaller with the sound
It seems to pull him off the ground
No more the radio is bound
Never to be found
The headlines read that a boy disapeared
And everyone thinks he died
Except a crazy girl with a secret lover
Who keeps him satisfied
It's so nice to be insane
No one asked you to explain
Radio by your side
Angie baby

Angie baby
You're a special lady
Living in a world of make believe
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe
Well maybe

yes.

How'd he get stuck in a radio?

magic.

So, am I Patsy Cline because of her association with Crazy? Other than that, I don't quite get it ... I'm not planning on a tragic early demise, nor have I had repeated automobile accidents.

I'm going to take this as a compliment.

Or are you implying that I have a kidnapped girl I keep in the basement, to use as a sex slave, and I burn her with a crack pipe?

'Cause I'm good either way...

yeah, you're not an easy one there, wolf.

I'd have to say....

um.....


The Smithereens. maybe a dash of Jackson Brown


Shaw, you just remind me of the VIBE of the Allman Bros.

now, this is not stressed out shaw.... but content shaw.

When I think of you, I'm hearing this:

No, because you're the only Dwellar I can imagine throwing a roasted chicken at her husband. And she was tough, smart, took shit from NOBODY and had wicked talent.

feel better now? :P

Sheldon is easy---the Violent Femmes.

Footfootfoot=Loverboy. Esp. the red spandex catsuit and the black forehead band.

I envision myself as the banjo player at the beginning of Deliverance. Especially with my hair falling out in clumps, I look like several of the locals

Clodfobble is Thomas Dolby ('cause she blinds me with SCIENCE!)

This 80s theme is amusing to me, as it's the one decade of music I am completely dissociated from. I was raised on classic 70s rock when the actual 80s were happening, and by the time I was able to access contemporary music on my own, we were well into the 90s.

OK Then you are the song "Cowgirl in the Sand"

As it was intended,. :). I thought about for a while and stuff.

footfootfoot is REALLY DEVO!

I think that fits him like a man wearing a hat.

UT could also be that McVie guy from Fleetwood Mac----minus the raging alcoholism.

Thanks Tril -- who is folk singer/notable lefty Joan Baez

We can be Spinal Tap but I insist we sing Rural Juror:


The Irma Luhrman-Merman murder
Turned the bird's word lurid
The whir and the purr of a twirler girl
She would the world were demurer
The insurer's allure
For valor were pure Kari Wuhrer
One fervid whirl over her turgid error
Rural juror
Rural juror
I will never forget you
Rural juror
I will always be glad I met you
Rural juror

repeat chorus with last line being "I will always be glad you were in my flurm"

Trilby, I'll take that as a compliment, didn't expect to find my name in this mix. I visited to see what all the others were named after. You made me look up the group, I've never heard of them. They are much more funny, way more talented, and have been around a lot longer then me. Other then that I can see it. :)

I'd take that as a compliment too. Now I need to get back to practicing on my banjo. Never can tell when a group of rafters might show up at the old sewage lagoon. ;)

JIM---what do you hear when you think of the contented ME??????

do ME DO ME DO ME DO ME DO ME!!!!

Trils, I hear Jane Siberry doing "calling all angels"

[YOUTUBE]KRUErh47sao[/YOUTUBE]

Santa Maria, Santa Teresa, Santa Anna, Santa Susannah
Santa Cecilia, Santa Copelia, Santa Domenica, Mary Angelica
Frater Achad, Frater Pietro, Julianus, Petronilla
Santa, Santos, Miroslaw, Vladimir and all the rest

Oh, a man is placed upon the steps, a baby cries
High above, you can hear the church bells start to ring
And as the heaviness, oh the heaviness, the body settles in
Somewhere you could hear, a mother sing

Then it's one foot then the other as you step out on the road
Step out on the road, how much weight, how much weight?
Then it's how long and how far and how many times
Oh, before it's too late?

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone
Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
We're trying, we're hoping, but we're not sure how

Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why, it's ah, it's almost as if you could only crack the code
You'd finally understand what this all means

Oh, but if you could, do you think you would
Trade it all, all the pain and suffering?
Oh, but then you would've missed the beauty of
The light upon this earth and the sweetness of the leaving

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
Walk me through this one, don't leave me alone
Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
We're trying, we're hoping, but we're not sure why

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
Walk me through this one, walk me through this one
Don't leave me alone

Calling all Angels, calling all Angels
We're trying, we're hoping, we're hurting, we're loving
We're crying, we're calling
'Cause we're not sure how this goes

Beautiful.

you sure know how to 1) nail a person & 2) make a girl cry.


I think that's a pretty perfect song for what I'm doing here.

esp. this:

Oh, and every day you gaze upon the sunset
With such love and intensity
Why, it's ah, it's almost as if you could only crack the code
You'd finally understand what this all means

Oh, but if you could, do you think you would
Trade it all, all the pain and suffering?
Oh, but then you would've missed the beauty of
The light upon this earth and the sweetness of the leaving.

The sweetness of the leaving-----so, so true.

A bit of both, I think. Which puts us somewhere around early Jimmy Spheris.
