Wall of Mouths

Dang, I forgot, Let’s see if I can nab it somehow from the page..

New upload by me:

On the new Muppets “The Green Album”, there’s a version sung by Amy Lee of Evanescence.

The Robin original is of course also on youtube:

Yeah it#s great. I uploaded Innocent X from that gig a while ago

Audio volume is a little low. I planned to eventually upload “Gone”, because it’s the only video performance I ever saw and - to my surprise - it already features Martin on the cello.

Some Pinkpop 1994 stuff:

Great quality. Thanks.

Before I put this old German mag from 2003 into the trash, I thought I should at least scan the T? part and keep it.
You can view and download the pages here:

Shame about the crack in the first. The caption says “The best job in the world”.

I’m not going to translate the whole thing, the gist of the first part is imho, that High Anxiety was supposedly a more traditional T? album, and that England’s/Irelands music scene kinda sucked because of too much Britpop. Also, apparently, Jack Endino had a lot of musical effect stuff lying around, which the T? folks had to try out and this is heard on Shameless, while on High Anxiety Pete Bartlett made sure that wouldn’t be the case (quote: “you’re a rock band and not Radiohead”).
The second part with the direct interview questions I tried to translate as best as I could:

Visions: Is there something like a general insight after being on the long and curvy T? road for 13 years?

Michael: I’m just very proud that T? were always a good, authentic and honest band. If we had split up in 1998 - and we were not that far away from it - then the people would perhaps say “Ah yes, Therapy?. That rock band from the nineties. Yeah, nice.” The fact that we kept going on shows me, that we are in it with extreme passion. And that we have something of a relevance.

Visions: Even more: After this, with Suicide Pact you made the best record of your career.

Andy: Honestly: that you voted this record into your “Top 30 of the nineties”, is one of the greatest compliments we ever got from media. There were so many who thought it was shit, even though we believed that much in it. With this statement, you awarded us as a band a patina (?not sure about proper translation here), a real history.

Visions: Are there still any dreams?

Michael: Sure. It’s still the same dream like before the first record. We want to make the best possible cool rock music together. Nothing has changed about that. It’s a cliche, but it’s like that: everyday with this band is pure fun, exciting freshness, the best what you can do.

Visions: Are you professional optimists? You can’t be that positive and pathological cheerful.

Andy: That has nothing to do with optimism. At least in my case it’s more like total dumbness. My wife asks me at least one time per week: “Andy, why are you still playing in this weird little band?”. And I say to her: “because nothing better comes to mind for me”. Is that dumb? Probably.

Visions: What’s your favourite song from Therapy?

Michael: Oh shit, I always feared this question would come up at one time. (thinks two minutes). I’ve got two: “Meat Abstract”, because it’s a very unusual song for a rock band. And it was the first song ever, that we recorded in proper studio. The second is Screamager, because it’s perhaps the most classic rock song we have ever written.

Andy: For me it’s likely “He’s Not That Kind of Girl”, because everytime when I hear it, I have to ask myself: “Is this really us? Is this my voice?”.

Visions: Which question can’t you absolutely hear anymore?

Andy: Why the questionmark?

Visions: Really? I can’t imagine anyone seriously still asks this.

Michael: Yes! In the last two days at least 3 times.

Visions: And the question you always wanted to hear, but never got asked?

Andy: Andy, why are you so handsome?

Alan wrote:

Yep, Sean’s right.

Working title: “A Brief Crack Of Light”
Song titles: “Plague Bell”, “Why Terbulence?”, “Living In The Shadow Of A terrible Thing”

You can find a live version of the latter here:

That song sounds kinda…dirty. For the Album I’d imagine some additional distortion or other effects for Andy’s voice could suit very well.

I’m a bit disappointed with Trigger inside, as this is one of favourite songs, and it lost quite the punch imho, especially during chorus. It was to be expected, I just don’t like the way it’s played ever since it made a comeback since, I believe, 2003. That being said, most of the other songs on album are very good, I especially like Nausea, Opal Mantra and Meat Abstract.

Auto Surgery is already in the Hall of Fame.

I’m glad T? always had something of a diverse sound, so you don’t have masses of people running around bitching about how they “sold out”, or are not punk/metal or whatever anymore, like that they ought to care about their music cred so you feel good listening to them or whatever.

Of course, instead it’s mostly “they sucked after Troublegum/after Fyfe” left.

I just discovered the String Quartet tributes ( search at youtube), and some of those are really amazing and fun to listen to (if you have any affinity for strings, I suppose). Check out the Offspring covers for example, “The Kid’s aren’t alright” impressed me.
I thought T?’s own Lunacy Booth string version was also great.
