I am utterly obsessed with Because of the Times right now. I could listen to Knocked Up all day long. It's 7 minutes, and I wish it was 14. These guys just have a great sound!

can someone tell me why they never play "Ragoo" live even though its one of their greatest songs..?
Is it like Pearl Jam and the whole "Breath" campaign thing..?
I have no idea, it's one of my favourites too, it's so damn quirky, and different sounding for them.
I'm wondering if they have new material coming out this year? They've just announced a massive show at Hyde Park in the Summer, and they're supposed to be headlining V festival - surely they can't still be promoting only by the night, that was out ages ago now.

ragoo is brilliant. and yes theyre releasing a new album sometime this summer! and in an interview one of the members (forgot which) said it is grungier than usual.

Awesome. What I love about them is that they could easily go in loads of different directions, if they embraced their more bluesy roots I think it would kill off a lot of the Sex On Fire band wagon jumpers - might not be a bad move.

oh god yes. i knew something was wrong when my eldest came swinging through the door singing this word perfect. id been listening to KoL for years and this was her first touch of them. :roll:
personally i think it had something to do with being able to sing the word SEX at the top of your lungs in public. its a good song but it didnt deserve the attention it got.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
I've heard some of their stuff and I like it. I've never really been too deep into their music, though. Can anyone recommend material for a KoL beginner?
The oceans made me, but who came up with love?

Their third album is their most consistent, in my opinion, here's a taster:
an easier approach for a newbie in my opinion would be the following:
California Waiting (very radio freindly)
Molly's Chambers
Slow Night, So Long
King Of The Rodeo
The Bucket
Ragoo
Knocked Up
Arizona
Revelry
Closer
Use Somebody
Be Somebody
"This here's a REQUEST!"

Thanks very much to both of you for taking the time to do that. I appreciate it and I'll check it all out.

Regarding Ragoo.......I believe I read an interview that Matt (lead guitarist) said it was too difficult to make it sound good live. I know next to nothing about guitars, so take it for what it's worth.
I love KoL and disappointed that they are not coming to Boston this summer. They've always stopped in Boston on their previous tours (Orpheum, Agganis, Mansfield) so I don't know why they didn't this time around. I don't really want to have to go to Hartford, but I just might.

My favorite from OBTN. On their O2 DVD, loved how they used Closer for their menu. Gives me chills to hear Caleb's voice echoed. :P
Damn skippy.
