I know a lake in Mass close to Boston in Malden I beleive called lake Cornapowa my Father and I used to Walk around when I'd visit that has a church just like the one in the video. There would be snow on the ground, we would be walking the 3 mile trek with a Dunkin Donuts Coffee in hand. Thats so long ago now its like its a dream and this is just a bad dream I can't seem to shake awake from.
I had never heard of Kurt until this album started getting so much press, and when I bought it, upon first listen, it sounded like a good set of demos. After repeated listening, it is one of the most solid discs to come out of the Rock Genre in the past few years. Kurt's songs are mesmerizing. I love this song, but then, it's hard to pick a favorite from "Smoke Ring For My Halo."
I remember the first time I heard Kurt(: He inspires me as a guitar player, writer, and person. Just had a little trip down memory lane with this song.
@PaganPolly I enjoy Kurt's music a lot! If anything, he needs MORE exposure than he has now. I don't really understand the widespread appeal of Sonic Youth, but I do like a few of their tunes! Sure they use alternate tunings and all that jazz... but a lot of it is just noise. Different strokes for different folks, I suppose!
@PaganPolly Overrated huh... Well this is the first time I heard anyone compare him to Sonic Youth. To be honest, I think Sonic Youth's overrated. Personally, I like to judge any piece of music on its own, not comparing it to others. But that's just my two cents.
i like the top comment bout putting this on and driving out towards nature. this should go down well @ Meredith Music Festival 2011. middle of the australian bush BYO, free camping non commercial. i might have to light up a few blunts during this set. thankyou aunty meredith!
Today I'm gonna go insane for that extremley lazy man. MARRY ME KURT VILE! I fought in Nam, I'm severly obease and I make my way around in a wheelchair. Haha just kidding, i'm pretty adorable. I LOVE YOU KURT!!!!!! #1 FUCKING FAN.
@TheScrotumTickler I agree. Most people don't know Thurston or Sonic Youth now. Kind of sad. Ironic that Kurt and Thurston are playing a festival together soon, too.
I often drive out of the city and towards a lake where I can be left in solitude, pop this in my car's CD player, sit on the roof and smoke. Thanks Kurt!
@KevKavanagh Good observation mate, and I agree it has that sound mix, as well as the similarities that ir2025 has mentioned with the great Lloyd Cole. Top drawer album anyway, got it on vinyl, and sounds great.
Yeah, nice understated video. This isn't my favorite song on the album, I love Puppet To The Man and On Tour the best, but this is a surprisingly good album.
good shit
