 Post subject: Eisley on the radio!Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2007 8:06 am 
So today I was on my way home from work(after picking up a yummy sandwich from Zaxby's) and I was listening to this underground music station in Atlanta. The DJ was asking for requests so I just picked up my phone, called and the DJ(his name is Scott by the way) answered and I asked if he could play Eisley. He said he could, I thanked him and hung up. The song on the radio was just ending and went right into Marvelous Things! I didn't think he would actually play it. I freaked out! I have never in my Eisley life(two years) heard them on the radio. I called my sister and she turned on her radio and listened. It was a greaaaaat moment! Yee-haw!!  _________________ Yeah... |

The music is great. I heart college radio! It's so much better than the formulated crap. I'm lucky I can get in two stations where I live. I also adore your screen name, it reminds me of that song from the early 60's I was obsessed with when I was like 7 or 8, I have no clue who it was by and I assume it was called "Red Rubber Ball". All I remember is the chorus, "I think it's gonna be alright, Yeah the worst is over now And now the sun is shining like a red rubber ball-all-all." It frightens me. I've been a music dork for like ever... _________________ ...i be running to Mexico City. virb |

That's mental. Even better if it's unexpected (Radio 1 playing Story Problem on Valentines Week when I was working late one night, for example). Oh how working on Saturday's suck... This afternoon Dearmot O Leary was going on about sessions they've done in the past with bands. He was explaining how once they're done, they're done, and they just go into the archive. They digged out a Willy Mason cover from SXSW and said that if you had a favourite session that you want to hear you should call 'em. I SOOOOO would've asked for something from Eisley's session that they did at SXSW. Bugger me being at work with no phone or anything! pah! _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

I LOVED that song. It was co-written by Paul Simon and some dude from The Seekers - and offered by Paul to The Cyrkle to play since they were opening for Simon And Garfunkle on a tour. The Cyrkle also toured w/ the Beatles. Brings me back to 113 Kim Drive as a kid... (i know, i know. Kim. destiny) That song reminds me of a specific memory. Cool how songs do that. It's so vivid... I was over at my friend Bobby Henry's house... it was a sunshiny, Saturday morning... Summer '66... how different life seemed after that day. _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

I had a feeling you'd be a fan of this song! _________________ ...i be running to Mexico City. virb |

That song reminds me of a specific memory. Cool how songs do that. It's so vivid... I was over at my friend Bobby Henry's house... it was a sunshiny, Saturday morning... Summer '66... how different life seemed after that day. Sometimes when I'm in the car with my Dad, listening to the radio, a song might come on and he can remember hearing that song for the very first time, where he was and how it affected him. Like when we were in Birmingham awhile ago we drove through his old neighborhood and we drove by his best friend's old house and told me about the day he first heard Boston. He told his friend had bought their album and was so excited about it. He asked my Dad to come over to listen to it and it completely blew his mind. He was saying that at the time Boston was something so completeley new and different than anything out there. Now I'm a Boston fan and we were planning to go see their summer tour but Brad Delp, their lead singer, recently commited suicide. My Dad told me that when he found out he and my Mom were really upset because it was as though a part of the youth was gone and passed. But he was glad that he did get the chance to see them when they came through on their last and final tour a few years ago. It is strange how music can affect you and your emotions and mind. Thinking of a certain song can bring back so many memories. There is one song that I cannot listen to that brings back so many terrible memories that I have to change the station when it comes on the radio. Music... hmm..... _________________ Yeah... |
