Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmylove!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Beginning
Temporary Blues
I could die a happy death if I never heard them do Thursday again.

i agree with you about thursday... and very much so.

my vote has to be for god save rock and roll though. i really should be sick of this song, but i'm not. it rocks me every time.
i also *heart* oh my love, armani suede, exorcising demons, walk you home... ech, there are a lot more than that; it's too late to do extensive thinking.

oh my love
gsrnr
temporary blues
action
moonlight (is that what it's called?)

oh and thursday's charm has more than worn off. that is usually the time a spend pisssing or getting another newcastle (good lord, it's 10:30 am and i'm thinking lovely thoughts about god's brown elixer of love) or both if i have time.

! thursday and psycho killer are my pee songs. i'll go to the bathroom during psycho killer even if i don't need to.

Most of the time, I also am sick of Thursday.  I do think it's rediculous that they play it near the end of EVERY SINGLE show.  However, every once in a while, Thursday 'hits me' again.  Like this last show in Knoxville, it was just the perfect closer, very climatic, and a perfect ending to a perfect show.  But just think how effective that song could be if it was a rare special treat.  From sources close to the band, however, I don't think that they will ever abstain from playing it.  It's like a 'ritual' for them.

walk you home (aka mexican gatorade), burma, harold, stagecoach, temporary blues. and all the new ones.

I really enjoy Walk You Home, but it truly has lost some of its luster since it was called 'Mexican Gatorade.' Nothing has changed, yet it is so different.

My live picks would be:
Action
GSRnR
Oh My Love
Exorcising Demons
Circus

My pee song is probably 2X2. The major scale makes me dizzy. I agree that Thursday is overplayed, but it is fun to watch the uninitiated (like those at the JMB New Year's show) begin to 'get' The Features when they play it.

One more thing- their 'Heard it Through the Grapevine' cover is underrated.

Thursday used to be my favourite. But, they do overplay it. I like the songs more that I can't hear.

yeah, grapevine rocks

pee songs? cant say that i have a pee song. i'm too into it to worry abut that. i dont think thursday is overplayed. i always look forward to it.

It's been so so long since I've 'Heard it Through the Grapevine.' Damn me for missing that show a while back where they busted out all of those rarities.

The bridge and transition thereafter in 2X2 is one of my favorite musical moments at any concert.

I like

See You Through
a new one whose name I don't know
Stay Together
33 1/3
Action

the classics:
Jurley
Your Smile

and of course, Heard It Through the Grapevine.

I usually pee during Kari Anne, and I am very tired of Psycho Killer. I think I'd like Thursday better as a rare treat.

i really love 2X2 cause of the words...
33 1/3 is awesome. matt is so fun when he sings it.
see you through is fun, everyone just admit it...
i have a ? what is the one that matt sings and it is about his wife, and love, and something like love will get us through this or something. i dont know. i've only heard it once, at the knoxville show. does anyone know? i feel stupid, cause i should know more of it, but i honestly just don't...!

It's called Stick Together.

What's that one Features song that is like, up-tempo. I think it's about babies or something and Rollum really rocks out and Roger plays a funky bass line? I think they've played it at The Boro. What was that one called? Oh, and sometimes Matt breaks a string when they play it.

I know which one you're talking about...It's that one with the great melody, and those really cute lyrics. What song IS that?

its that one with the stuff about that guy

Heard it Through the Grapevine is definitely a killer. 2X2 is my pee song also. Moonlight is bitchin' as well as Leave it all Behind, Design, all that new shit.

yeah yeah, i know looking back that my last post was stupid, since every song is about that. but i figured one person that was in knoxville might know what i meant.... thanks.

Just kidding around, featuresgirl, glad I could be of assistance.

i had to laugh at myself when i went back to read it.. but doesn't it make you feel good that most features songs fit that description? it makes me smile.

the features-america's favorite feel-good rock and roll band.
my favorite two and a half measures of features time is right after the bridge of oh my love when everyone drops out except for matt playing and singing 'ooooohhhhhhhhh, ma' love' then blap rollum kicks everything back in. quite genius.
oh and i forgot how much i love see you through. parrish and roger's moog and bass combo melody during the intro/prechorus gets me every time.

I have to disagree with you there Lawnboy. I find the frenetic bridge of OhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhMyLove to be one of the best moments of Features music. Very Roxy Music. I always thought the bit after was a bit anticlimactic after such mastery.

correction. the aforementioned moog/bass combo is actually a farfisa/bass combo. pardon my ignorance.

Yeah, I hate to vote for a cover, but I do miss Heard it Through the Grapevine. It's been almost a year since we've heard it, I think?

I can't just pick one favorite live song. I love them all. The Features are the best live band I've ever seen. I do have to say though, that I'm partial to 'God Save...' and 'Leave it all Behind' Oh! 'Dark Room' is a great one as well.

Someone buy Iris some Who tickets!

the features should cover a who song........

Just one song? Maybe they should do the entire 'Tommy' opera! Matt Mahaffey could produce it so it would sound really electronic!

They do a who song imbecile. No, sorry I'm being mean. They do 'i'm a boy'. I think they should cover the who's entire studio collection in concert. Wait, they shouldn't do 'face dances' or 'it's hard' because of that irrelevant twit Kenney Jones. What a waste of carbon.

look up irrelevant in the dictionary-see kenny jones

Will he have that stupid perm and smile? I saw footage of Pete teaching him how to sing.

kenny is very irrelevant...i dont like anything the who did after keith died. they lost something..then they brought that keyboard player rabbit. just wasnt the same.

I don't enjoy any of the post-mod Who stuff very much actually. I'm not even a big fan of Tommy. Too bombastic.

neuboy, have you ever heard 'Who's Next'?  Although I do love the early mod stuff, I think that 'Who's Next' is my favorite Who album.  I'm not sure that the Features covering any of the songs on that album would be a good idea, though.

Yeah I've heard it. Quite the classic rock staple. Anyone who new me in high school (lawnwrangler) can attest to the fact that I was a bit of classic rock buff. Since dropping that moniker I have decided to stay as far from that stuff as possible. No offense.

yea but don't you still have that skynard box set?

My old man gave that to me 'cause he didn't want it anymore you cunt. I sold it. I kind of wish I hadn't though. That live version of 'Workin' for MCA' was a mutha.

Sweet Home Alabama
If neuboy and lawnwrangler were a WWF tag team, that would be their theme music.  That or the theme music from 'The Dukes of Hazzard.'

Maybe that could be our schtick. Perhaps we could actually be the dukes of hazzard.

i call luke

I want to be your manager, Uncle Jesse. Also, classic rock is very relevant. More relevant than mod or contemporary. There I said it.

I don't really have anything relevant to say, but if we are discussing the WWF, I just wanted to be involved.

I knew you couldn't resist.

my father was a professional wrestler. i should be promoted to full member just for that.

What was his 'name'?

so eno, you'd take say uriah heep over the creation?

pago pago
he's samoan and wrestled in a grass skirt.

Classic rock vs. Mod?  I love 'em both, though probably I like a higher percentage of Mod that I've heard.  Alot of classic rock is shite.  If we're considering entire catalogs here, though, I'll take Led Zeppelin's catalog over any mod band's catalog, hands down.

I'm reminded of that classic Ringo quip-

Reporter:  Are you a mod or a rocker?

Ringo: I'm a mocker.

ok i'm confused. there's only about twenty different threads going on in this topic.

back to the topic at hand........

i agree w/ baine and neu, the best part of any features song is the bridge of 'oh my love' and the subsequent vamp back into it.

is that too much nashville songwriter lingo? i hate those fucks

do they still play any other songs from the first ep besides armani suede???

I heard them play 'Attention' at the Boro about 3 months ago.
