Title: Slow Slow Tune
Post by: megalicious on May 23, 2011, 05:06 PM
NPR's stream popped my Circuital cherry. I couldn't resisit. Anyway...

Holyeffincrap "Slow Slow Tune" is the JAM. I want this on a 45. Makes me think of sweaty dances in the junior high gym with some teacher busting your game by separating you and your young love, telling you to leave room for Jesus...

Can't wait to head to Oz (our local record shop) and buy my copy just so I can listen to this song on repeat because OH MY GOD.

Anyone else feeling it?

I agree....I love how the guitars bust in at 2:41.  It doesn't get any better.

After hearing all the songs 1 time (except for Circuital - been playing it a lot since it was released) this is my favorite.

Really loving this song and can't wait to hear it live!  The guitar tone on this one is classic. Just love it. Would be great for them to do an extended jam on this one.

I am also loving this track. I wonder if MOF's "Slow Down Jo" was any kind of inspiration?

That reminds me.  Some of the big guitar sounds were really great on the audio tonight.  Piercing in just the right way.

Climax of the album, fersher.

Luckily they give us Movin Away so that our heart rates can return to normal.

I agree at times it got alot louder which was bad at all.

So I'm listening to Circuital while running along the Ohio on the Flood Wall this afternoon and when Slow Slow Tune stated I stopped to take in the sounds and the surroundings.  Carl's solo after the break from "Radiate the Gold" may very well be the most perfectly placed and played solo of all time, but I am extremely biased on that song.  ::)  I think it's been mentioned on the board here somewhere that SST is similar to Pearl Jam's Come Back, which is another huge favorite of mine, except that McCready (in my humble opinion) holds back purposely on a huge solo after the second verse if favor of a bit of finger picking because the lyrics tell of restraint and of a longing that can't be fulfilled which a nice bluesy solo would have done.  Here Carl is in fact able to radiate gold outta that Les Paul because that's where the song is leading, simply amazing!

This song was at the end of the last American Dad episode, also in StanĀ“s room where he was hanging out with Steve was a MMJ poster

Great that they continue with the American Dad/MMJ joint venture :)
