I am 73 and have been following this band since about 2010. Obviously I like them a lot and hardly nothing seems to surprise me.What I really like here is the whole band singing, with smiles, together rather than just backup...
On top of being great everything, there is an intelligent wit about these guys, both lyrically and instrumentally, that really sets them apart. Big fan.
every video performance by LSD on You Tube is just plain fun ! I can't tell you how good the bass player is....an acoustic, fretless upright bass is so hard to master---and Bridget does! on a sexist note, Bridget has great legs, too!
Too much! Fantastic vocals, and everybody plays just the right part. Make it look easy and effortless, I know they have put in their time practicing and playing on the road. Looking forward to seeing them in Charlottesville, VA next month.
just too many superlatives out there and none will really say why this is so great. fun. music. great bass, lovely rhythm, cracking guitar, super harmonies and a fab vocal. Nicely filmed too!
You might think you understand What turns a boy into a man You gotta search alone and worthy But that'll make a lonely girl That has the top and that rules the world A king who choose his crown over his queen Before he gets the notion he doesn't need you Before the motion grows your plan proceeds to Say what about me Say what about me Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street Well my oh my, don't you realize One thing should be on your mind What about me You meet his friends you meet his folks You love his songs you love his jokes You show him all the moves he's never seen Then you take his will away You never go a single day without asking him With whom or where he's been You do it all to show him what he's worth The last things it's about is helping her Say what about me Say what about me Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street Well my oh my, don't you realize One thing should be on your mind What about me I have lived a privileged life But I have seen my share of strife And nothing beats the boy that's leaving me I might have pushed a little hard I might have took it way too far But you've got respect consistency That's why the next time I won't wait to fall You know me, I won't hesitate to Say what about me Say what about me Look at all the heads I'm turning in the street Well my oh my, don't you realize One thing should be on your mind What about me
I like that they put out the video...even though there was a tad of a tuning issue...other than that...it was a hot performance.....MUSIC IS REAL. ps....come back to NY forget about Portland.
Well, it sounds like a mistake and it looks like Rachael and Mike both have a reaction to it but being the pro's they are they just shrug it off and keep on going. Actually, maybe the should put that in on purpose. It adds to the variety because it's not that bad of a muff.
I love guitar in music and it fits there sound but he does need to work on his solos. Seems like at some times he know like three licks and guesses his way through the rest. Just needs to loosen up but still great music. Wish the show near me wasn't sold out already!
I' m writing in 2016, Check out his recent guitar work. He now has better guitars that keep true as you go up the neck. And for a super jazz trumpet player, and a guy who has a real sense of the music, he has progressed more on the guitar in 4 years than I have in 10 years. And Mike, the drummer, and Bridgette on bass have only gotten better. And Rachel...there is no one can match her. My favorite group, ever.
ya, it's a rare fail for them; they're normally so tight. but it's true that he's gotten better recently. Also, i think his first instrument is the trumpet, on which he is pretty flawless.
Can't women singers, comedians, etc. talk about something other than relationships/heartache and body image! We get it, these issues are what societies around the world foist on women, but if this is ever going to change WOMEN themselves need to be pro-active!
If you do a bit of research, you'll find that men sing about relationships and heartache just as much as women. And where in this song does she sing about body image?
Great music great band but it would be nice if they returned just one of the great complaments they've received from all their fans. ive never seen them say anything to anyone that's just plain bullshit.
