 Post subject: Red Rubber BallPosted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 4:36 am 
Radio. hmmm... what can it all mean? What will it mean for Eisley? I fear this new realm somehow... Am I justified? I'll write about it in a new post i suppose. By the way... i LOVE, love, LOVED that song. Great name. I agree. "Red Rubber Ball". Oh wow... you guys need to hear it. It was co-written by Paul Simon and some dude from The Seekers - and offered (by Paul Simon) to The Cyrkle since they were opening for Simon And Garfunkle on a tour. The Cyrkle also toured w/ the Beatles. wow... memories. How this Brings me back to 113 Kim Drive as a kid... 1966. I just wrote about a memory connected to this song, but I think I'll save it for a boydblog; tie it in with another discussion that I've been wanting to have about radio. This post sparked my interest in the discussion. Thanks! _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

And as long as it's not expected of them to keep reaching that place. Like Radiohead. They've had Creep and Karma Police, but no one expects them to knock out another radio hit. But they may or may not do it again. _________________ My photography:www.jamiemphoto.com You can't spell awesome without emo...backwards! -Julie definingawesome (11:44:11 PM): Eisley shivers our timbers |

the three thinks: i think alot of people will say they dont want the mtv and the like exposure because of the toddler approach aka "it's my eisley! MINE!" that alot of people take with their favorite bands. i think its important that eisley get out on the radio though because they have a great sound that i think could really be liked on a lot of different stations. i think the thing that is most important is to keep that approachable, small time band feel. thats really what helps make eisley so likeable (besides their actual music of course). _________________ Say something witty, dammit! http://kimschaefer.bandcamp.com/ http://youtube.com/kimschaefermusic |

I went to a show last night and Mae was one of the bands playing. The whole time they played, I got punched, elbowed, stepped on, and involuntarily pushed back and forth, and a group of about 10 people were actually shoved to the ground. and this was during Mae. a band whose music I consider to be relatively calm and beautiful. I just want to go see bands and not get squished. I hope my point is seen here. maybe people just need to learn how to act at concerts. _________________

I think in general as indie fans we all fear over exposure. _________________ ...i be running to Mexico City. virb |

so THIS is where this post went. stupid, bad boyd. I dunno what i did. Thought I was posting on Red Rubber Ball's post about "eisley on the radio". sorry! But... yes. good comments. I want these comments on my current post in Trolleywood if possible. I especially liked the one about the larger - the stupider. yikes. Also.. i don't think eisley's crowd will ever be pushing and shoving, right? hmm... interesting thought. boyd _________________ EisleyWebGuy "The industrialists never saw the fruit of their own labor - Post Moderism, which I now proclaim as dead.

I seriously hope Eisley's crowds don't become like that, as was mentioned. and now I feel like a meanie 
oh and I think that if you want to see the band up close, as in being in the front row, you shouldn't have to worry about serious bodily harm. i don't like the notion that if you want to remain unharmed, you have to stand in the back and squint. _________________

I guess that depends on the crowd that gathers. I mean, I was perfectly fine at the front at a 1500 people strong crowd of Midlake followers. I had room to dance and groove about! I nearly died when we went vaguely near the middle of Muse. I was at the front of the second barrier at Coldplay, and again, I nearly died. Great fun though! I was crushed during Eisley but that's because I was with a heck load of 14 year old Emos... _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

Yeahh because of my location -- that being Orlando, FL -- large crowds and security could suck. There's over 2 million people in this area and the kind of crowds it usually draws to big shows are usually rude, or those people that are there for the just the hit song, etc. I would tough it out, though. |

That's exactly what I'm hoping for. I hope they get big, I just want that approachable feel you mentioned. I love that about Eisley (next to the music, of course) |

"And I've never painted daisies on a big red rubber ball! And I've never kissed a chipmunk and I don't look good in leggins'...and I've never been to Boston in the fall!" That song? _________________ :* |

Hey Boyd! Thank you for the compliments on my username! I didn't think anyone would know what it meant. But, yeah, Red Rubber Ball is one of my favorite songs(obviously, or I wouldn't have used it as my username). My uncle told me about the history of the song once and I suppose one of the reasons I love the song(other than it's amazing) has something to do with the fact that Paul Simon co-wrote it because I love Simon and Garfunkel(people find that really strange because of my age, I'm just 20. But good music is good music, no matter when it was made). S and G's music is so entrancing and beautiful. Another story similar to that is the song "San Francisco" which was written by John Phillips from the Mamas and the Papas, who are mind-blowingly talented, for the band's friend, Scott McKenzie. The song was released in 1967(aka, the year of the summer of love) and the rest is history. That is another amazing song that gives me chills although it's overused. And Boyd, it's so cool you mentioned my thread on Trolleywood! The moment I read it I grabbed anyone and everyone and made them read your blog(and LC posts). Awesome! Thanks! _________________ Yeah... |
