WOMBLES!

If he ever does this again you need to catch it.

This is all the performance you can hope for from dude because Boingo is done dead.

Oh, I missed this. Thanks. It makes me a bit cross though. If he will do this, why not Boingo? It can't be because the other guys don't want to.

Does he have stage fright or does he just not want to do an Oiongo Boingo reunion? Maybe he has integrity and doesn't want to be The fuck*ng Eagles.

Another thing to consider. Writing and recording orchestral music for film is a very time consuming process. Perhaps he just doesn't feel he has the time to devote to something of dubious creative and financial merit. Let's face it Oingo Boingo are not the Police. It would not be a stadium tour. They would play mid sized theaters at best.

The reason he has given that there will never be a Boingo reunion is because he has hearing damage. There's at least one close-up in the video where you can see he's wearing something that looks like hearing aids. I always felt like that was a reason you can't argue with but I don't see why it wouldn't be a reason not to do this concert as well.

Oh yeah, all that hysterical yelling and screaming from the audience at that concert is clearly making him just miserable.

I realized this post was in the wrong thread and I wouldn't want Inev to miss the chance to hate on it.

Jimi at Woodstock.

It's basically 2 hours of Jimi Hendrix jamming his ass off. Relentless.

Man, I had a weird night last night. I was listening to the music on the headphones, like you do. I put on a compilation disc "Jukebox Hits of the 70s" and several of the songs hit me really hard and I had emotions. It started with He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother, a song I've heard a million times, of course, and like, but don't recall ever having much impact on me. So that was a bit of a surprise. The next one to effect me was Miracles, which I've always loved. I even bought the 45 when I was 13 years old. It's been a long time since I've listened to it, but still it was a bit of a surprise to be overcome with emotions when it began to play. Finally I Can See Clearly Now overwhelmed me. I actually began to cry. What the Hell!?! I mean, that's a beautiful song, but why?

Who knows?  Emotions are a strange thing.  I got all choked up last night describing my son's swimming lesson to my wife.  Then she got a little misty.  Music is pretty good at evoking them, maybe touching on connections to events we don't consciously remember.  Its definitely cumulative.  One of the dramatic vignettes about an Olympic athlete struck me emotionally a few years ago, then a sappy commercial set me off again once my guard was lowered.

I can't really explain why --- maybe it's the tape-warble on the piano, or those chords, man --- but this song hits me right in the tender groin of the heart.

I haven't been doing the weepy music thing for a long time, so maybe that's part of it.

Ah yeah, you turned me on to this music. Maybe 3 years ago you gave me pretty much every early Flaming Lips album. I've listened to some of it, but a lot of it I'm just now getting around to giving a proper listen. Thanks man!
