haha. I always thought it said "Sing this hook, wah ah oh." Yeah.. "People will be people when the air is stagnant, wonder in the dark, we'll begin to travel, people will be people will be, people will be people when the end is here, won't you show me the beginning, we'll begin to travel. sing this hook, wah ah oh."

I don't know what else he says.

i love the dublin muso scene, its sooo, erm, poseuring in an unposeuring way. its like, "yeah, im the shit, im so cool...erm, well, im kinda cool, i think.....am i,????"

Mmm, spot on. Hope your not too serious though, personally I can't stop myself from dancing to battles, though its more of a spastic foot tap that ripples upwards to an extent, not much in the way of cordinated movement. I definitely can't keep still anyway. And besides, I look like a tool dancing to everything...

Nice one talking to Ty & Ian, they seem like pretty cool people, and yeah, I'm fairly sure no-one really needs to know the Atlas lyrics. I'm sure the bridge bit is 'Sing this hook, oh wey oh' and I'd doubt the rest is much deeper. Sounds good though.

I thought Stanier was going to pop an artery playing the start of Race:in with the way they all took so long to get ready and he was just curled up in a ball rattling off that snare/hi-hat thing as fast as he could.

It sounds exactly like "Singer is a clerk" to me, though. I don't hear "sing this hook" at all.

ah you lucky dog, at least you can say that, the night i was supposed to go see battles i had to work on a last-minute project, aghhhhhh....

wanna trade memories? my late-night work session for your show.

I've seen them for the Pukkelpop Festival, it was awesome.

nicfit · 08.28.2007, 10:39 AM

you guys know if there is some pro-shot footage of their lives floating around the net? I never found anything beside the youtube stuff, I hope one or more of the festivals they played will be broadcasted or something (same goes for SY, actually).

Might have a point, in that live vid it does sound like "singer is ..........". Can't get the last word, but I don't hear "clerk", or "a" for that matter. Shag it, this is going to annoy me all day. Better crack out the headphones...
