Sadly, I didn't witness this, gjw but you paint a wonderful image. Great song too.
All this mention on the news of the French Police has put the following song in my head.
Particularly these line:
"Paris was a place you could hide away
If you felt you didn't fit in
The French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank, minding my own, whoo
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peaceful riot
When all I wanted was a cup of tea."

I missed the news that Rick from Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, and other bands passed away last week. I assume it might be a one post thread if I posted an RIP thread, so will share this song in his memory. Although Drive Like Jehu is often labeled post-hardcore, per my comment in the banter thread, I think hardcore changed in the early 90s. I would call Drive Like a hardcore band. And one of the best at that. RIP.

danielmak Very sorry to hear that, I got into that album last year. The standout song for me is 'Luau', a ferocious fantasy of indigenous uprising in Hawaii.
Yesterday I recommended Jerry Garcia's first solo album to WOM on Mundane. So today I have had this gorgeous song in my head. I'm gonna do a cover of this. Decided to post the alternate take here.

I can hear the Casey Kasem " This may seem like a strange dedication request..." playing over a down tempo track. But I can't remember what the track is.
I thought it might be from the Howie Be Thy Name EP but I can only find album versions and they are purely instrumental. So either the sample got taken out (possible) or I'm thinking of a completely different track.
Edit: it isn't the U2 thing that comes up if you Google the sample

This is one from work, and I hear it everyday. And everyday I want to go postal because I know the words to this piece of absolute shite, but sing along, and then berate myself for doing so. FUCK!

And what a shit fucking name for a 'band'. "Filter" btw. Being in a band should mean you have NO FILTER. Definitely in this case. I didn't even know the song was 24 years old. It's been driving me incandescently angry for at least 5 months now.
And, yes, I find myself humming it when I'm walking to work.

I highly doubt that I'm the only person who gets woken up by the music in their head, but I kind of wish it would stop.Last edited by Toby Gymshorts; 30-07-2023, 21:55.
