I just found this band out back in March while listening to my iPod on shuffle in my car. Rubber Rocket came on and I'm just questioning "what in the world is this"? I look at my iPod, find out the artist, listen to all of their albums and slowly become more and more obsessed with them and I'm still obsessed with them til this day. I've already seen them once in concert and I want to see them again. They are my absolute favorite band to this date and I listen to A LOT of music. I was pretty impressed with Zodiac and I thought it was a lot better than KILL (my least favorite album).

I love the stuff Dick spouts when he's on stage. "We're a political band that's from...Saudi Arabia."

"Hello. Hope your summer is hot and humid. I, like you, am waiting for our eighth album entitled 'Heartbeats and Brainwaves' to come out this October so we can all sing along together. However, this is still the summer and October is a season away." Awww...Man Vs Internet is such a better name!

Does anyone in this thread go to the Black Cat (a club in DC)? They play there every October.

Kaboobi posted:5 new songs: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Electric-6/154062438761 Hmm...it has more of an electronic feel than KILL or Zodiac. I'm a huge fan of Gridlock and Heatbeats & Brainwaves but the other three songs are just so/so. They're not bad or anything I just think Electric Six does better with a their rockish songs more than their electronic-feeling songs. Considering these five songs, I defiantly don't think this will be my favorite album but I don't think it will be my least favorite (which is KILL) either. Anyway, thanks for posting this. It totally made my day!

They play there in October every single year. They're pretty hilarious live. Hilarious as in...Dick tells a lot of jokes and basically does stand-up along with performing.

Aggro Craig posted:I'm really digging "Psychic Visions" and "It Gets Hot". It needs to be October already. Actually, their first album (Fire) was released in 2003 and it's been eight years since then. Heartbeats & Brainwaves will be their ninth album so it'll be more like ten albums in nine years.

Bring at least $15, since that's what the CD was selling for at the Tuesday show. It's a dollar more than buying on Amazon, but hey, you're getting it early! And you're also giving E6 more money so they can keep touring/making more albums. Everyone wins!

I just listened to the album and it's entirety. I have to say...it's definitely not one of my favorites. It has a more popish/electronic sound to it. I don't dislike it though. Not really "electronic" like Fire but a different kind of electronic sound. It's not better than Zodiac but it's better than KILL, in my opinion. Here are my favorite albums in order (because I'm bored): Senior Smoke Switzerland Zodiac I Shall Exterminate... Flashy Fire Heartbeats & Brainwaves KILL What about yours?

M1TCH3LL posted:Oh I do. I don't listen to Flashy at all any more, because I didn't rate it at the time and I certainly don't rate it now. The worst album they put out, as far as I'm concerned. You've got to be kidding me. Gay Bar Part 2 is my favorite song by Electric Six, right next to Vengeance & Fashion. I actually consider Watching Evil Empires Fall Apart to be Electric Six's most "beautiful" song. Not that is has much competition there... Interesting that you think that I Shall Exterminate... is their best album. It's a great album but I consider it the least creative. It sounds more like radio-played alt rock than any other album they put out. Random note- Whoever created this thread needs to change the title (if you can do that). Zodiac isn't new anymore!

Smoky Bandana posted:I'd put KILL in second place after Zodiac with Switzerland bringing up the rear, I'd also say White Eyes is one of the greatest songs ever penned by man and Sexy Trash might well be one of the worst. I'M AN AMERICAN MAN AND I KNOW WHERE I STAND. I STAND WITH YOU...AND YOUR SEXY TRASH. (Yes, I actually like this song a lot for it to get so much criticism from every E6 fan)

M1TCH3LL posted:
I think Flashy is their best album lyrically, easily. Speaking of lesbian witches, a flight that has gone down to a man who has just recently fallen in love with a woman that was on it in such a short period of time, and Watching Evil Empires fall Apart...don't even get me started. As I have stated in this thread before, I think that is easily their most beautiful song lyrically and uh...instrumentally. I also love the lyrics to Heavy Woman. "Yeah, she was once a little girl but someone downed her and she fell into a heavy world" gets me every time where I have to sing it aloud. Also, I can't remember where I found this online but on Transatlantic Flight, they speak of an airplane going "JFK to Hethrow in the middle of the night". There is actually a plane that crashed around midnight going that route the same time they made this album. I often wonder if they're referring to that incident. I love how Formula 409 is as sexist at it is. It's wonderful and hilarious.

To me, both KILL and Heartbeats & Brainwaves has a lot of filler. All of the other albums, I listen all the way through.

Dominus Vobiscum posted:Talking Turkey is the best end-of-an-E6-album song there is (especially after I actually listened to the lyrics and realized what it was about), except for maybe Synthesizer. I love Heartbeats and Brainwaves the song, but the dragged out ending doesn't work as well for me. I must disagree. I think Dirty Looks easily wins this.

When I saw them in 2010, there was probably 150-200 people at the Black Cat in DC. We'll see if there's more or less this year in two more days.

So last night, everyone was laughing and confused of why they played a 10-minute (definitely not the original)version of In The Navy on the speakers before Electric Six came on stage. Then...Electric Six came on stage dressed as The Village People.

I'm sure you all want to sign the Petition to have Electric Six load Nickleback's gear. Electric Six has six people, think of how less time consuming it would be! Dick started this petition himself. He only needs one billion signatures!!! http://www.change.org/petitions/allow-electric-six-to-load-in-nickelbacks-gear

CzarStark posted:Is this Dick? It definitely is. Electric Six once made plans to make a music video for every single song for I Will Exterminate Everything Around Me That Restricts Me From Being The Master. Although the videos are extremely low budget, they are still kind of funny (like Rubber Rocket). They also only got half way through and decided to abandon the plans. )=

As much as I love Electric Six, live albums have always annoyed me with the audience cheering and whatnot. I'll probably skip it. Maybe listen to it once but it definitely won't be on my MP3 Player. I really hope this doesn't mean they are going to take a hiatus. EDIT: Just found out that the live albums will be replacing this year's new album entirely. Disappointing, but what do you expect from a band that puts out an album every single year since 2003? Guess they need a break sometime or another.

M1TCH3LL posted:If you haven't added Valentine on Facebook, by the way, then you totally should. He's adding everyone and if you leave the right comment or tag him in one, he's pretty awesome in responding. Not only did he reply to mine about all of my friends going to see him live with "You have 183 friends, Jones. Get it done...." but he also decided to read and reply to a completely unrelated comment about Gary Neville as a football pundit with "Neville is a muppet. Neville is a wanker. Neville is a twat. Neville can piss off. Neville is a knob." He probably doesn't even know who Gary Neville is, but it was a super cool thing to do. Can you link it? Is it under Tyler Spencer or Dick Valentine? I can't seem to find it.
