1. prescription of Chill...bring that up to the counter AKA, I Don't Know Why I'm Being So Aggressive And Sarcastic And Can't Seem To Stop 20mg Just want to point out my hilarious line there. That was really good, I felt. First, let me reassure you that I am seated comfortably and my heart is beating at its normal resting rate. Second, here's a hot tip: there is no quicker way to lose whatever respect a person in a discussion may have previously had for you than by telling her to "chill" or implying that she's being unnecessarily aggressive. I didn't imply it, I said it. And...you were. (?) CBmp3 wrote: 2. I flat out said that I was basing this off of my own experiences and what I've heard. And it's just how I've felt at concerts. And it's my opinion, and maybe people share it. Maybe they don't. This is a discussion forum, no? I know that's what you flat out said. And I asked what experiences would have led you to make such an incredibly broad statement. There, now we've both repeated ourselves. Personally, I hope your opinion isn't shared by many people, but it sure would explain why there aren't more popular female-fronted bands out there. Yes, this alone would explain why. <<<< I can do sarcasm too! They're in the minority in the first place, and I doubt that this is largely because people aren't packing full-on chick-fronted bills. I think it has a lot to do with the way things have been for a long time and/or maybe just how society operates. I could go further for reasons that seem obvious to me, but don't feel like it and I'm sure you'll argue it regardless. CBmp3 wrote: 3. True, female-fronted band A might not sound a lot like female-fronted band B, or C, or D, etc., but my experience/opinions based of these is that bands that are more "like" a band and that are supposedly "complementary" actually yield the opposite effect. Again, for me anyway.
4. Don't know if this matters, but some of my favorite artists/bands are female. I'm not sure what either of those points have to do with anything. Clearly you like female musicians; you're on the Eisley forum. I don't recall saying anything to the contrary. Yeah, but you were criticizing what I was saying like I had some issue with things, and I don't. So then I have to think, 'why is this person being so offended?' So I try to make logical connections. CBmp3 wrote: 5. Not trying to start anything with you. Being humorous is what feels good and I'm taking a light-hearted approach to this/you, but honestly I just didn't appreciate the way you were responding to my stuff, so just relax and realize that I'm not attacking the band. Love the band, just offering my opinion on this matter, be it unpopular or not.
No ill will, really. Again, you're not in the same room with me, so kindly refrain from telling me to relax. It's insulting when I haven't said or done anything to warrant such a command. Anyone else? Feel free to chime in. I made no claim about you attacking the band, and had no illusions about such a thing over the course of this conversation. As for the way I was responding to your stuff, you'll have to forgive my lack of sympathy. I've responded to statements that appeared to be incredibly biased and generalized, and I'm still waiting for some explanation beyond "Some of my favorite artists are female". I was interested in having an actual discussion with you, free from ad hominem crap, where the questions I asked got answered directly with some measure of respect and sobriety. But if that's not going to happen, so be it. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Deas Vail. This past year, they toured with Copeland, Lydia, and Owl City, and did a few gigs with Switchfoot. They've also played at Brewtones, if I'm not mistaken -- their guitarist (a friend of mine) said that they'd love to tour with Eisley sometime. They're wonderfully melodic, and the singer has the most spot-on tenor I've heard. And hey, his wife plays keyboards and sings too. Videos I took: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShkNqaQ1l-0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4-nlG8SFlU UPDATE: I forgot this video, which shows Deas Vail sitting in a field and doing an acoustic version of the song White Lights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4VUliPpWFk This live rendition of 'The Great Physician' is good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2H1BKv1g4c&feature=related _________________ Classical guitar cover of "Combinations": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIpDhvbd2o |

^ ditto. I was looking for them on a CD run Thursday at Vintage Vinyl and blanked on the name, AGAIN  Asked the clerk to search for the song Shoreline on youtube, or the tours they opened for MAE and Owl City here in STL and couldn't find em'. When he did, he was like, "well... we've never had any of their cds in the store, cept for the last one they had." _________________ yup, that's my name.

Looks like they're going on tour with Christie and The Narrative. They're playing at Martini Ranch in Scottsdale, AZ May 11th. _________________ - Megan

^YAY! I love that they keep taking Christie out with them. It's really awesome to be able to see her live and it's cool to keep it so close knit and in the family. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R.

about 12 hours ago via web Unless they meant, like tomorrow from 1 in the morning, but I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe it's Friday... Either way, it's coming. _________________ cynlovescandy wrote: kulvir wrote: I bet R. Kelly approves of peeing in the shower. The world is R. Kelly's shower. It's a golden world.
