Anx the rogue individual makes his return!

Didn't the Bill Murray submarine movie feature a lot of these songs?

Anx said:

It's not as good as Baby Universal!

NDRU said:

Yes, The Life Aquatic. Fun stuff.

NDRU said:

And Seu Jorge did some awesome versions in Portuguese!



The coolest part is that he only kept the melody and made new lyrics in Portuguese!

Shame all of you don't know portuguse! So I'm the only orger to understand all the
versions because I'm portuguese! Isn't it evil???

right, the guy sang in a foreign language, and they used some original versions as well.

That movie was very stoney, like another submarine movie with good music I know.

NDRU said:

???

MikeMatronik said:

i've got my mouth full with learning icelandic right now!

Anx said:

How's that going?

NDRU said:

That's foreign language is the most beautiful is from a land far far far away, full with beautiful people like moi!

Portugal!

(Seu Jorge is from Brasil and they also speak Portuguese there...we once own brasil ass!)

I am loving PARTS of it (Repetition!), up til now, but I am trying to find the ties that bind the songs together as a whole. The biggest reason for being prejudiced about the album is that everybody keeps refering to the three Berlin albums, while to me Lodger feels a bit too seperated from Low, and you know how much I love and adore that one.

I rephrased it above

Anx is trying to learn icelandic with this:

HamsterHuey said:

think of lodger as an album about transience, like it's a chaotic travel journal. there's a lot of people and ideas going to other places on that album.

MikeMatronik said:

"moi?" I thought you spoke Portuguese?

MikeMatronik said:

I need to visit both.

NDRU said:

Which movie? I'm slow.

Anx said:

I like that. In ways, Lodger to me is like Madonna's Music, a cold shower after the hot tub that is Ray Of Light, hehehe.
But as a collection of snapshots it is indeed way easier to digest.

NDRU said:

I speak lot's of languages!

Mas sou um gajo muito fofo!

HamsterHuey said:

things go to places where they don't necessarily belong on each song, whether it's lyrically, musically, both, or otherwise. i think every song on lodger is deviant in some way.

HamsterHuey said:

Madonna reference! He did a madonna reference!

GangstaFam said:

Yellow Submarine

MikeMatronik said:

English, too, that's impressive. What is the above written in?

NDRU said:

That's Portuguese.

O que eu escrevi em cima está em português!

Anx said:

It is junkier sounding and a lot more gnarled than the other Berlin era stuff, and in that way it seems to go better with "Scary Monsters".

In its own way, just like Low and Heroes, it can be divided clearly in halves - the first half clearly being a schizo travelogue and the 2nd being a strange commentary on regrets and responsibility - another tie to Scary Monsters.

NDRU said:

Ah yes! How obvious. See, slow.

Lodger features DJ. It's such a great song!

Anx said:

It's a strange little bird.

Where most think he ran out of ideas with Lodger, I think that he and Eno perfected the strategies and themes they were going for all along.
