I saw that in Future Shop the other day and didn't buy it. I ought to, even though I've heard all the songs already. I feel incomplete without it.

Not owning it is pretty much a life-handicap

I've never heard any of their stuff.

Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

:uh: wow



So i guess you must have that life-handicap i was talking about.


Hmmm where to start....you have to start slow i think with aband this awesome. Maybe try some easy to like stuff like "Black History Month" "Romantic Rights" "Blood on our hands" or anything off their last album. Anyone else have suggestions?


Oh if you want to hear some just go to this site www.deathfromabove1979.ca, it has the whole album there, as well as their videos :drool:

SWEET! They do a Bloc Party Cover! "Luno". http://www.myspace.com/deathfromabove1979

Bloc Party is pretty cool check out their song "Banquet" Catchy! I kinda figured the 2 bands must be friends cause the singer from Bloc Party is in The new video, he's the black guy with the dreads.

As far as I can tell it's the guy from Bloc Party, i thought that immidiatly and didn't even know they had a connection. WHo knows maybe i'm blind though and it is K-OS, i think they have some sort of connection as well.
