[T&T]

November 26
Rhinoceros

16 seconds is a long time on a rock record
hold your breath folks becaue this song takes us to a new level... up up up

even in simple carnival lyrics of lazy daydreaming afternoons, something sinister
"Ice cream snow" sends shivers down my spine
he's forboding and relaxed... too relaxed its discomforting
and then the head spin dizzy starts
"she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows"
what ever it is she knows, she's comming through and swirling around my mind
do i really need drugs? this song is one trippy dreamy acid trip all by its self
@ 5:05 "we know, i know" can be heard

the pinnacle of the song is at "open your eyes to these must I lie?
it like cloud clearing and GOD comming forth (maybe not "god" but something awesome!)
love that part
the decending guitar line after it... mmm... perfect
(mustard lies, mustered lies, mustard eyes)


awesome outro with close to a minute of guitars melting and feeding back leslies on fire

[T&T]

once i made myself a 60 min loop from rhinoceros of only billy singing "she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows, she knows"
i don't remember being high but my mind was internalizing in places that were fucking weird
all the girls i've (n)ever loved, all the lies i was told, all the revelations i'd want to know, all the tricks or toys i'll never play, all the stories that were kept, all the manipulation and kneading that goes on in ever direction, all the false "male god" prophets, all the guitar chords, all the sand, all the grains of every single piece of sand i could put on my tongue that would never dissolve that i could never understand, all the obsessions and all the love i've ever had for every beautiful girl i ever wanted...
it was quite the trip

puh-lease.

i used to hate this song, i thought it was way too long and too repetitive and boring. it was one of those tracks, like today, that i would always skip on the album. within the past few years though, i started listening to the lyrics and thinking... damn this is one fucked up song lol... and now i can stand it. its ok, its above the worst of the worst (raindrops and sunshowers) but its pretty low on my radar.

i'm a tr00 fan. and all. track orders, i got em down. DOWN!

except machina 'cause i never listen to that one
When we get to that one, i won't have much to add. But that'll be a while. Months, even.

this thread has the potential to grow as big as the post your pic thread, if people don't lose interest.

I have the same situation
i'm a pisces and she's a taurus
and boy does she ground me, and i know it (i'm not letting this one go)
it's a magical feeling
to trust that she knows something that will always be in my blind spot
and that she'll love me & care for me accordingly

she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows she knows
and once in a while i catch a glipse and "i know"
helps me sleep at night

[skipgo]

one day t&t will spell glimpse correctly!

i liked "gimps" myself. that was a good one.

[skipgo]

and you got to the reason we love this song
aaaaaaaacid
drops of liquid elle ess deeeeee on my fleshhhhhhhy tongue

take a moment out of your day and pretend you're on acid
and you've just discovered the wonderful complex texture that is your tongue
(don't let your boss catch a glimpse of you whilst)

[skipgo]

i'd better go hide out in the bathroom or something for this experiment.
my favorite pumpkins/lsd moment took place with La Dolly Vita. But i'm getting too far ahead, we'll be there one day.

as a scorpio, and fellow water sign to pisces, i can say your daughter is fucked. intuitive, imaginative, and deeply emotional.


good times are coming, mom

[T&T]

la dolla vita, cool as ice cream (I scream?)
she's tied to miss rhinoceros

and this thread will be skipping her, because we're only doing the 6 studio albums
no PI, no earphoria, no TAFH, no Machiina II, no Judas O,
i guess we'll do those after zeitgeist



I, as a pisces, am a completely normal balanced pisces. not normal by other people's standards, but i've always been happy and that's all that matters

awesome. Yeah she already shows signs of all that. I'm teaching her to play guitar (she can almost play smoke on the water, haha! not bad for a 7 year old), this should give her some direction. ha!

she will one day release the album, Basketball land, Baseball city.

oh! well I'm going to have to stick around then, because those are some of my favorites.

this thread is like street basketball... just making up the rules as we go...

I'm not sure that's possible.

Of course being a piscies he'll never admit it (which is one of their biggest problems and it's a shame). My bf is a piscies III too. and i have taurus rising which helps ground him nicely, but he still claims that he does everything ALL by himself and that he is superhuman just because he's THAT cool. lol. it's hilarous. it's so adorable though and he knows i know that he's full of it. so, imo, her contribution and influence on the band was essential for the sound of what we know and love as TSP of 'ol

The amount of cluelessness packed into this one post is breathtaking.

opps i meant to say i was a taurus rising sign. i'm actually a leo with taurus rising. but yeah i think taurus and piscies work well together for a lot of reasons

did god make astrology mayday

[i_adore_adore]

I have to be in the right mood to listen to Rhino... it has probably my absolute, all-time favorite guitar solo ever. I love how this song just... BUILDS. It's really incredible from a musician's standpoint, but from a listener who knows that "Bury Me" is next, sometimes it's hard not to skip

i read astrology a lot and it makes sense to me. i can see the patterns and the cycles and it's very interesting
