Vintage People is inCREDIBLE ... FANTASMAGORICAL ... the exact opposite of my favourite word(craptacular). I've listened to it about 25 times since I bought it ... the strange singing lady in my shower sings it over and over and over again. It's a refreshing change from hearing 'All Er Nothin'' from the Oklahoma! musical all the ding dang time.

This is by far the best 'Tree Tops' I've ever heard ... ever ... I LOVE it.

And now that I can hear 'Telescope Eyes' in a higher quality version, I can yessinitely, definitely see why WB wants it for radio. I'm still indifferent, but I can now see that it really is a pretty good radio song ... I would've picked a different song, but that's only because I'm tired of TE. So I'm biased.

(The EP is now #25 on the top 100 rock albums in iTunes!)

How the heck do you see the top 100 rock albums?

Tree tops threw me off at first, but I actually like the extra instrumentation stuff. Sometimes, it feels overdone for me when songs do that. Like "Hey! We're in a studio, let's make funny noises to go with our song, especially ones you'll never hear live!" but ... it really works on this song. heh. Confused

I think it's safe to say that Vintage People has quickly become one of my favorite songs of all time!

I'm sure they are great and I would even join i-tunes, pay for them and wait for my rubbish dial up to download them very very slowly

BUT

They are not avaliable to the UK so I wouldn't know


Yes I am angry

i cant get enough of tree tops. i made all my roomates listen to it, over and over again yesterday. I like vintage people because it's such a simple elegant song. Nothing too much. Different from tree tops, but just as good.

i may be the 44372894th person to say this... but vintage people FRICKIN' ROCKS. MY SOCKS. it's so awesome. i bought the song right away on itunes and was listening to just that one song alllllllllll day. i love how sherri sings in this. but i'm really mad because my ipod's not turning on and i can't put vintage people on it and spread eisley love to friends in school tomorrow. :[

has anyone, btw, have this problem before? my ipod worked perfectly fine yesterday, but when i went to charge it last night, it just won't turn on. i've been pressing the play button (actually all buttons) repeatedly, but it won't turn on. :[ this happens often. i hope it's not a bad sign that it's already messed up. 'cause that would suck.

even though tree tops and (especially) vintage people are demos, i think the songs are amazing. A-mazing.

i now have 5 versions of telescope eyes Wink Rolling Eyes


i can only think of 3:
1. original indie recording
2. Laughing City EP version
3. Room Noises version

what are the other 2?

p.s. about singing into pickups - i know Thom Yorke has been doing that on Climbing Up the Walls when they play it live for a few years, but i imagine people have done a long time before this.

The first person I saw do that was Incubus's Brandon Boyd


isaac brock's been doing it for ages


As has Jónsi, for one section of "Svefn-g-Englar."


I'm sure it's been done for eons, but I first saw Scott Wieland(sp?) of STP do it for the beginning of their song "Dead and Bloated" on their Core album.

news of Eisley on itunes compelled me to download itunes.
the beginning of Tree Tops reminds me of a Pilot Drift song Smile and the last verse sounds so cool- i guess that's what it means to "sing into the pick ups of an electric guitar"?
and village people! ayayaay! what a treat!

just another reason why i love Eisley- their songs help me survive a night of studying biology and plants.
