Oh, I love it so. It reminds me of the episode of Quantum Leap where Sam leaps into a vampire, and his freaky rich friends come over for the "ceremony," in which they are scheduled to kill a lovely young virgin. Thank god it was Sam in that vampire's body. It wouldn't have been pretty.
So that's Wolf Parade and NOT Wolfmother...since I clearly have a problem distinguishing the two even though they sound nothing alike. What, are no other animals adequate to be named for parades, mothers, seas ... ?
Have you heard of Mice Parade?
I'm getting more than a little tired of the animal band names. I told myself I wouldn't listen to any new animal bands, and if I did, I wouldn't like them. But then I heard Department of Eagles and loved it. So birds are an exception, I guess.
How funny, someone just put Mice Parade on here this morning at work...and then someone else prompty turned it off! Any good? Also, regarding the Eagles... is that a bandwagon now, too? Because you know there's the F*cking Eagles, too ...
I haven't heard too much of anything about Mice Parade, but I do know it's where the Wolf Parade sort of got their name. When Dan Boeckner was in Atlas Strategic (who were f'n great by the way) they toured with Mice Parade and there was an unfriendly incident between the two bands that led to Dan putting 'Wolf' in front of Parade on the marquee of the venue, meant to be a slap to the face of the mighty Mice Parade, and the name I guess stuck, because we all know what happened next...
The Eagles killed Gram Parsons! They were nothing but a cheap, watered down parody of the Flying Burrito Brothers. No 'soul' whatsoever. I always think of that scene in the "Big Lebowski" where the Dude is in the backseat of the cab being driven by an Eagles lovin' black man, which is a bit of an oxymoron, but the Dude goes something like this, "The Eagles, Man, I hate the Eagles!" Then the cab driver boots him out and he's left scratchin' his head wonderin' what just took place? Hilarious!!!
Yes, I concur with your Eagles sentiment, however I was referring to the actual band, "The F*cking Eagles" ... whom, I imagine, agree with you, too!
