i can see what you mean about the first album... i actually love it, until just after Orca, and then i don't care much for the last few songs.... Sometimes i skip Butterfly too...
Like urbanhippe said though, love Sore, Avalanche, Caliber, Snowstorm... and of course.... ORCA!!
i'm so jealous that you're going to the Mod Club show... you're going to love it!!! when i saw them in Hamilton a few weeks ago, they played for close to two hours.... :cool:
Sorry to hear you can't make the Mod Club show on Friday. Truth be told, it's thanks to you and the constant appearance of this thread at the top of the page that sparked my interest in checking out Wintersleep. So a big "THANK YOU" civ_eng_girl for sharing your enthusiasm for this band.

awwww! that's so sweet!
you're very welcome!
have a great time on Friday...... birthday plans with Mom aren't nailed down yet.... there might still be hope!
~~*~~ ...i surfaced and all of my being was enlightend... ~~*~~
Take her with you! Surely she must love Wintersleep too?
hahah... mom wouldn't be able to stand it for a second! :eek: she's a jazz fan, and hates noisy guitars.... although it would be quite a youthfull way to celebrate turning 65 and officially becoming a senior citizen! :cool:

So I just listened to the new record again this morning, and I've finally made up my mind. Welcome to the Night Sky is by far the best album of 2007. For a while there it was a toss-up between this one and the new Cuff the Duke record, but Wintersleep is now firmly in the top spot. I'm still trying to come up with the rest of my top 10. There are just way too many candidates this year.
"I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

one week until they play st. john's. I've seen them in the smallest of bars, and now, a huge ballroom. Hope they play all of the new record. Best record of 2007.

You said it Buddy, I was just looking for this thread to say the same, the new album is amazing, there isnt even any words to describe it
glad i caught em in st.john's just over 2 years ago, i'm hoping to catch one of the 2 upcoming charlottetown shows
I am really jealous of you guys getting to see them play....Don't think we've got much chance of UK dates in the near future...
And 'Welcome to the Night Sky' is an amazing album.....It's really grown on me. I was listening to Miasmal Smoke.... the other day and had a musical epiphany! It's completely stunning...and so beautiful...
Donated her eyes when she was young and shy,
hated her awkward breasts and filled the yawning skylines with kisses
sweet, to hear existence beat, to hold it tangible and drifting,
ever so gently sifting summer sky, donated her eyes, donated her eyes
to feel her actual senses, oh sweet 16, to feel what life was like,
donated her eyes to feel life as she imagined it
Go back to sleep you yellow bellied freaks, afraid of God and modern science
Go back to sleep, if I could only sleep, if I could stop imagining if my dreams weren't after me
Through piss and sweaty blankets, the deafening hum of some great silence
The jingle jangling heat, the strangling sheets, terrible and fucking meaningless
I would agree with most of that, but there's still some bits im unsure about.

hahahha.... i just remembered that i had a dream on Friday night that I was in a Wintersleep music video!! :eek:
i have no idea what song it was for, but i remember it was filmed in a pool, and all the guys were there, and me, and maybe a couple of other people (?)... i just remember being in a bathing suit, wet, and very close to Paul Murphy...

only mildly....
friday was the night of the Toronto show that i missed...
i guess it was my subconcious playing out how it felt the night should have gone....
The show rocked! They only played for just over an hour, but it was high energy from start to finish. I can't wait to see them again soon.
q
I think obsession is too mild......
This music runs through my mind all day!
