I just know that there are "whooshing" wind sounds throughout the song. Maybe that's it

Or maybe it's the theme song.....I'll try to search for it. I'm curious now,dammit

AnckSuNamun said:

maybe it's the whale sound? I only watched those when I was a kid and I wasn't into that kind of sci-fi so I never would have known

Someone told me they only knew of PJ because of Beavis and Butthead playing 50 Foot Queenie

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I used to watch B&B, but I don't remember seeing that video. "50 foot queenie" is one of my "girl power" songs

AnckSuNamun said:

Can you imagine the treatment they gave that song!? It had to have been one of the greatest B&B segments ever

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I seem to recall seeing "Down by the Water" on B&B.

Ace said:

I listened to Dance Hall this weekend and I was just cracking up when I got to "Is this all there is". I'm really fascinated over why you are so enthralled by it. Such a very odd song but it seemed to make more sense to me when I thought of you whilst listening

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

It's my take on life in a nutshell.

Quite incredible to think that this little slice of existentialism first charted in the '50s! Also used to great effect in Scorsese's After Hours, IIRC.

Ace said:

Well I completely figured that It's really funny because I never really paid that song very much attention but because you love it so much I really fell into it for what seemed like an eternity and I was thoroughly entertained

I'm listening to Stories right now and I'm thinking of you, sexton and gangsta Man, I can't believe people actually talk shit about it It's killer all the way through!

I have seriously been binging on PJ all weekend and today, because of this thread, and my ears seemed cleansed because of all this discussion and everything sounds just so fantastic to me. Not that it ever sounds bad but it feels fresh right now and being a PJhollic, it's easy to burn out on stuff cuz I listen to it so much.

Thanks everyone!

Speaking of Choirgirl, in case you never read my initial review, here it is:

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

wow, i even posted on that thread that was way before i had listened to Choirgirl and i remember when I finally did listen OMFG and i wanted to go back and read your review of it

Now I can even follow the discussion about the b-sides. Oh how far I've come

I also love where gansta says he'd never heard the original "Do It Again" by Steely Dan that's funny

AnckSuNamun said:

i don't know either. there are quite a few weird sounds in that song
but i think it's that kinda otherworldly 'whale' sound indeed.

it sounds like something that could be right out of the movie.


from "The Michigan Daily":

All the better for Harvey, the arrangements here are flawless and ceaselessly interesting, such as the sample of Jerry Goldsmith's "Planet of the Apes" score that haunts "The Wind," blending with the voice for an aural tapestry of intoxicating power.

heartbeatocean said:

Really? Although Tori twists that song around so much, I didn't even realize it was Steely Dan the first few times I listened to it.

heartbeatocean said:

I love half of it. The other half >

heartbeatocean said:

Hilarious since I remember it as a little kid!

sextonseven said:

Same here. I was listening and it was striking a chord and I was scratching my head, thinking... wtf do I know this from?

It is pretty high in my list of fave Tori non-album tracks.

Supa.

I you. If I wasn't in the middle of my weird Radiohead/Tori Amos smash up day I would switch to PJ immediately.

PS. did this thread come before or after Luv4all7 dissed your PJ pic on that other thread?

HamsterHuey said:

Switch up Anyway!

I posted this after she dissed my queen

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Can you post a link to that thread?

sextonseven said:

I don't remember which one it was It was a photowhore thread I think and Ace was horny

Whoa. I finally had some quiet time to really read this.

I live for this kind of analysis. Your interpretation of "The Garden" is just brilliant! You even have me wanting to read the Bible.

I'm going to print this out as a companion for the next time I listen to this album.

Thanks for all your insight and hard work.

GangstaFam said:

Now do you understand why it was really hard for me to even begin talking about exactly what this album means to me that night at Apples?? And even though we weren't exactly "listening" to the album at Apples, just the fact that I could hear one of my favorite albums ever while being in your presence.....well I had to practically pinch myself to make sure it was happening. That and Dewdrops. You'll never know how important it was for me to listen to those with you

I hope you read my fleshed out version of "The Garden"

what the hell is this all about?

We are in church and we are worshipping our Goddess

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yeah, totally. These kinds of things are much easier to write about than to get across verbally. They always seem to make more sense anyway.

That was perfect playing Desire and Choirgirl while cooking. Not exactly your ordinary meal prep fare, but it seemed right at the time.

And the fact that Apples knows and loves those artists made it all the more special.
