Foo Fighters New Single

[hamish]

Amigos!
Have a question for you rockers out there.
Just heard the new Food Fighters single "No way back" about 3 times in the past couple of days (on Scuzz, Kerrang and B4 channels) and it's a belter.
Not a huge FF's fan but this song is a great rocker.
Have tried Amazon (it's released on 16th March) but their charging around $9 plus postage. Matts CD singes/The Spacebar and other sites haven't got it yet nor is it mentioned in the Foo Fighters website either.

Can anyone recommend a store where I can buy it for a decent (ie not too dear) price??

Cheers and thanks if you can help.:)

[Risteard]

That's on their new double-album isn't it?
Might be worth getting the album all together from what i've heard, it's quality. That's 16 on Amazon.
FF singles should be available in any hmv or virgin or eh Zhivago for €4.99.

Thanks a million Risteard.

Can you buy from HMV/Zhivago online in this country? E4.99 is a fair price for a single too.

I'm by no means a fan of The Foo Fighters but that album is a cracker (at the least the rockier disc is anyway, there's another disc which has all slower, softer tracks that I've barely listened to). The track "No way back" is one of the best songs on it. You could do much worse with your €20 than get this album.

Thanks to you too Paulie. :) I'm really into buying singles at the moment but my godson likes the FF so he'll probably buy the album anyway - I just love this particular song - really rocks - reminds me of Bob Seger at his rockin' best. Great guitar, harmonies and driving rock sound. Dave Grohl sound great on it too.

I don't know but the buddy uses
shopireland (http://www.shopireland.ie/music/detail/B0009IGARK/In-Your-Honour-[2CD]-/) for his stuff.

Cheers Risteard. I reckon what I'll do is phone Zhivago in Galway and pre order the single and get Shakedown to collect it for me when he's down there.
I tried shopireland but all I could get were albums, I'm afraid.

Do appreciate you guy's kind help.:)

Are you looking for the songs, or do you actually want to get the singles?

Singles would be pretty hard to get, and would involve a lot of bargain-bin diving/e-baying etc.

If you just want the songs, you may be able to download them.
I should have a couple of them. Perhaps something could be arranged...

sir hamish.

I could send you some of your tracks on MP3 if you PM me with an e-mail address .

[sligoman]

Can you buy from HMV/Zhivago online in this country?You mean their isn't a big music store like that in the big city of Beeslow?:confused: :D.

[hamish]

You mean their isn't a big music store like that in the big city of Beeslow?

Stop slaggin old Beeslow, ya levitt:p :D

In fact, there are two shops but, like a lot of places, they're competing against the big stores in Galway, Athlone and of, course the internet. So, while you can order music DVDs and so on, it's handier for me to order from the Amazon and others in most cases.

[hamish]

Mucho gratias amigo. Problem is I kinda prefer the tactile experience of playing CDs and vinyl records rather than on this laptop - sound on it is very tinny TBH. But I really do appreciate your kind offer, good buddy.

BTW CTID did you see the recent reports that vinyl is making a big comeback?? Apparently the old vinyl factories are being expanded and new ones built to cope with the demand and most groups are now releasing on vinyl.
Also, the recent report that chemicals in the CD covers are seriously damaging the CD itself is another reason.

[hamish]

Hey CollegeTillIDie, here's a question you should now the answer to.

Remember when digital recording first started to happen - in the late 70s and early 80s?

What was the name of the first band to record a digital rock album. They were a kinda punkish outfit who disappeared shortly after they released that album.

Here's a clue. "Cold War" .:)

Here's another one. "Legia".:p :D

[CollegeTillIDie]

WOuld that be Warszawa? :D

I could burn them on to CD for you the ones that I have that is.....

[hamish]

As far as I can remember they were called Warsaw Pakt. I'll google and see is there anything on the web about them.

Muchos gratias about burning a CD - I have this image of a laser zzzzzapping a beam onto a disc in sci-fi fashion but I presume it's loading digital bits onto the CD or something.

Really appreciate your kind offer.:)

[hamish]

Yep CTID - plenty on the web about them and that digital recording too - about half-way down the page.

Hey Noby - got your PM and sent you one back. Shakedown just lent me tweeters and a fcukin' groovy woofer and connected it to this little laptop of mine and, wow, does it rock. Beeslow will make the Richter Scale from tonight with a lotta heavy sounds:D :D . LOL
Jesus, that's a mountain of good stuff you burned - hope it didn't take too much of your time buddy

Muchos gratias amigo - let me know what you want and I'll be back to you.

Trouble is CTID, very few turntables seem to have good anti-skate devices like they used. I had one once with such a good a-s device that it would play over a ploughed field without skipping.:D

Hamish, I haven't forgotten about you. The weekend turned out to be more hectic than planned. Hopefully sort you out this evening/tomorrow.

No worries Noby - anytime you can send them is terrific - don't forget my offers too.:D

[hamish]

This is embarrasing. Remember Alcazar - the Swedish group?. They had a European hit with a combination of Genesis "Land of confusion" and Diana Ross's "Upside Down" last year which I hate to admit I liked. In fact, I even bought it from their website.:o :D

I can't say I recall that song though.

This the site Noby.

http://www.alcazarworld.com/

Enter, then click on The Media Room, then videos, then "This is the world we live in".
Their other two hits are also on it, "Cryin' at the discoteque" and "Sexual Guarantee"

:o :D

[CollegeTillIDie]

hamish

Alcazar had a hit written by ( Banks/Collins/Rutherford/Rodgers/Edwards).
Any song written by Genesis and Chic would be pretty special.
Crying at the Discotheque was also based on a number written by Chic for
Sheila B Devotion called " Spacer" :D

That's the one I mentioned above - it also contains part of Diana Ross's "Upside Down" - the Rodgers/Edwards bit - they wrote and produced Ross's song - it had that distictive Chic (remember them) sound. Rodgers and Edwards were a member of Chic - guitar and bass players and had a few hits, one being "Le Freak". Just the stuff CTID grooved to in his flared-pants, open, wide-collared shirt and shiny medallion days. LOL

That's right - BTW if you check out the video in the site above for the "Cryin' at the discotheque" you might recognise the "camerman" who also has a short talking part - I think he was in a Swedish dup who had a couple of hits in the late 80s or thereabouts - he had curly, long hair then and a lotta eye make-up but I can't recall the band-name.

[CollegeTillIDie]

Well let me see Chic also included Tawatha Agee , Fonzi Thornton on vocals and another woman whose name escapes me. All of the above featured on Roxy Music's Avalon Tour and Album as backing vocalists.
Tony Thompson the drummer died in 2003( also played on The Power Station album) and the two main men: Bernard Edwards was the bass player and Nile Rodgers on guitar. One of those two has also croaked but I cannot remember which :(

[CollegeTillIDie]

Rodgers and Edwards were a member of Chic - guitar and bass players and had a few hits, one being "Le Freak".

And Chic's " Good Times" 12 Inch single version was sampled by The Sugarhill Gang on one of the first Rap hit singles "Rappers Delight"

[CollegeTillIDie]

And I believe Dave Grohl played all the instruments on the Foo FIghters debut album ....

[tetsujin1979]

That's true CTID, there wasn't an actual "band" put together until he went out on tour to promote the album, I'm pretty sure they played the SFX here as part of that tour

The thread has actually gone full circle, and the Foo Fighters get a mention again.

BTW - am going through a lotta sorting for ya re. bands/music etc so I haven't forgotten ya.:)

[noby]

I'll leave it in your capable hands.

I couldn't tell you the last time I saw a video, so I haven't a clue.

CTID, the Good Times bass line is such a classic that not only was it sampled extensively, but it was said to 'influence' a lot of other bass lines, like 'Heart of Glass' and 'Another one bites the dust'

" Heart of Glass " was actually recorded in 1978 for the album Parallel Lines contemporaneously with " Good Times " being recorded by Chic. However your Queen assertion has some merit :D

CTID - as I was saying on totty watch, remember Pat Kenny's music programme on RTE radio on week night evenings?
He used to feature a lotta stuff rather than just new punk bands.
I remember him playing "Barracuda" by Heart when they were more of a folk-rock band. Bought lots of stuff from listening to his programme. Barracuda was easily thye best song from that album who's name escapes me.I taped about 3 songs off it and flogged the disc after that.
Another one he introduced was "Try Jah love" by reggae band Third World. Bought that album too and some great tracks on it. Kinda disco/reggae in places but great vocals, harmonies, musicianship and production. Still have that album and "Try Jah love" is one of my al time favourites songs. Went down well at discos too.
Another band he used to play was Chilli Willie and the Red Hot Peppers - nothing to do with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as I'm sure you know.:)

I saw that Heart album on CD recently in a shop in Dublin, I think it's called something like "Dreamboat Annie"

That's the one CDIT.:) When they started to make stuff like "Alone" I couldn't believe it - after "Barracuda" they sounded like a different band.

[CollegeTillIDie]

I liked them back in the 1970's when my buddy Fergus Cooke introduced me to their song : " Crazy on You" and it's guitar riff intro :)
I think they lost the plot when the brunette's waistline started to bulge( and I don't think she had any kids either). I think she's Nancy and did a duet with a guy called Mike Reno from some movie in the 1980's called " Almost Paradise" which was a huge US Billboard* Top 40 hit.

* It ain't a hit till it's on Billboard ...

[CollegeTillIDie]

Speaking of Third World I remember them covering a Philadelphia Soul song
called " Now That We've Found Love" and had a hit with it. The original by the O'Jays as far as I can recall, died a death.
