Troubador show - live mp3's

[kevin]

can you tell me the date of this show?

[todd]

April 18, I believe.

[byronhulcher]

Oh god, finally, hives live.
I love you.

Hey now that we've got good quality, who wants to attempt to transcribe boy soprano?

[tommmmmm]

that's not boy soprano, it's hello from eau claire.

you can tell if a song is called boy soprano if you hear the lyric "BOY SOPRANO!" in it.

[byronhulcher]

Right, Eau Claire.
I haven't heard soprano yet then.

[byronhulcher]

For some reason, the botched I Luv is more endearing to me than the good one. It also made me laugh REALLY hard afterwards.
"that was a bad idea"

[smithcorey]

these are the lyrics to "hello from eau claire". i know because i am doing the video for the song. also, i cross referenced the lyrics i got from the label with what joe posted as the cd booklet's lyrics:

HELLO FROM EAU CLAIRE

I know it's dumb to say
that you are on my mind
I know it's stupid to dream
that you might think of me as a man
I can loose my own tie knot
I can button up my own pants
I can buy my own cigarettes
I can pluck my own mustache
I read it's lame to wish
that you won't walk out on me
but I'm not embarassed to sing
plainly the words love and your name
I can pay all my own bills (debts)
I can unroll (rip off) my own tights
I can untuck all I have to untuck
(I can humiliate myself to your face)
I can weep through my own midnights

Caralee McElroy. vox
Greg Saunier. the bass guitar, electronic percussion, samples, vox
Jamie Stewart. percsussion, beats, synth, samples, vox

Oh man, thanks for this. I've heard this song at least 50 times. It's quickly becoming one of my top Xiu Xiu songs. Best of the luck on the video, too. Thanks again.

I am a huge fan of the deerhoof.

And I love you for posting those lyrics. Love you in ways I can't go too in depth about.

[Animals! So Weird]

hahahaha, when i sang along to that song it went something like:

i cant wait till i dont know why
i cant stay cuz i dont like wine
i can see when you dont know me
etc etc tec

I suck at hearing words.

[taint]

whoa, yeah. let's just make it clear right now that deerhoof is objectively GREAT.

greg is one of my heroes, and that's no exag my friends.

by the way, 'taint' is previously unregistered 'no'. so hi, again.

[kevin]

i always thought it was something along the lines of "i can live by my own demands, i can live up my demands"
