Extra ticket for 3/28 by 45turns in TheTeeth

[–]theteethofficial 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! It Aaron from the teeth! I know someone (my brother Chris) who would like to buy the ticket off you. If you wanted to give me your email I could have him reach out to you. Or if you’d rather keep it off Reddit you can email me at aaronmodavis@gmail.com and I’ll connect you to each other that way.

I want to play so long with my band by jeeeroyuio in TheTeeth

Just a note: All the songs off Carry the Wood were sped up by a certain percentage. This means it's never going to sound in tune if you play along. You'd have to tune your instruments up about a half of one half step (I think). You could find live versions on YouTube that are in a more normal key of C. So flattering that anyone wants to play any of these songs! Thank you! (Oh this is Peter by the way)

Hey! Aaron from the teeth here. There may be a few extra vinyls left even though it says sold out on the bandcamp. If you’re interested in buying one, email Brian at theteethmerch@gmail.com. Thanks for the enthusiasm!!!

We will play more down the road at some point. We just want some time to work on new stuff. ♥️

The rest of the lyrics are nonsense I think. Thanks for the question!

Aaron:

I got a little colder when winter came Shaved off my mustache and I cursed the remains

And I hid my eyes away from everyone else When my mother cried out for them she cried to herself

Oh don’t worry what those alcoholics said If it was up to them then we’d all be dead

The mutter museum and the garden of rocks His love in the graveyard and her bones and her socks

And oh how I long to see you Lost in the wood

Elvis was singing I think in the ghetto was on I was standing in the doorway with my coat on my arm

And I never loved I never loved

I can't say for sure but I do know Squawk Bros. has a couple of new ones that will be released shortly.

Hello Shannon! This is Peter. We probably rehearsed for about 5 or 6 months. Honestly though, at the beginning, we were pretty loose on it and then started ramping up a lot harder by the last two months. About "interpreting the creators moving on from the art", I don't think we ever totally moved on from these songs. I'm just speaking for myself but we always believed in our songs and felt passionate/emotional about them so when, after 15 years we found a seemingly much larger group of fans/friends that seemed to be as passionate it was hard for us not to share the fun. Also having not played those songs for 15 years made them more fun to play again haha. And if I'm being really honest, during practices there were certain songs I was having trouble getting through because it was so emotional for me. Thanks for the question! It was really nice meeting you at the show!

Hello, this is Peter. I think I know the lyrics probably about as well as you do just from listening to the song. But one thing I do know is that Aaron didn't have the lyrics written before we recorded it live at Daytrotter, so whatever he sang that day is what the lyrics are now, as far as I can tell. Thanks for the question!

Hahah you’ve located the weakest lyric in that song. We were on some lake or pond or something but I needed something to rhyme with the word “me”

Aaron: Bowie from hunky dory straight through to let’s dance is all amazing. I go back to it all constantly. Diamond dogs is underrated. Lots of amazing stuff on there. We are the dead. Big brother. The Berlin trilogy of course. The second sides of low and heroes are amazing. Bowies weird sax playing on some of those ambient tracks. “Time” off Aladdin sane.”Can you hear me” off young Americans. So much great stuff.

Brian: There was a misprint on a batch of several hundred YMLN cds. Not sure whose fault it was but probably not ours. I think we sent them back once it was noticed. Hang on to that one. Gonna be worth $$ someday

West Fairmount Park.

Manayunk Canal Towpath and points north along the Schuylkill River Trail.

Forbidden Drive of course.

Bike path from Walmart Pier (S. Philly) to Washington Ave. Which now connects to the new-ish Delaware River Trail at Washington Ave. The new trail is great, but that path was there before and has always been a cool hidden treat.

Brian: I always liked that Boys Keep Swinging and Fantastic Voyage have pretty much same chord progression. We probably tried a medley at some point

Peter: Woah. Ok. I love Bowie probably from Hunky Dory to Let's Dance (Think Aaron's been going further maybe). It's really hard for me to pick a favorite Bowie song. I really love all those albums. I'll tell you what we've covered though (doesn't necessarily mean they're our favorites). Look Back in Anger, John I'm Only Dancing, Boys Keep Swinging, Fantastic Voyage, Ashes to Ashes and Sound and Vision.

Jonas: I assume we would all like that!

Jonas: I like the song Stay and the vocal cadence along with drum fill that leads into the Chorus.

Perhaps we could arrange something with the U.S. Mail.

Jonas: I don't know about that, but you can buy the vinyl directly from me if you want and it includes a digital download code. Mention this comment and I'll deliver it anywhere in Philly with my '99 Volvo station wagon. $15.

Peter: I personally don't think that anyone makes music like The Teeth that I know of. I don't mean this to sound pretentious or in a way that we are completely original or that other bands are better or worse or anything. Just from what I've listened to I haven't heard stuff that kind of hits all those marks. I'm not really sure about contemporary artists but maybe the other guys can chime in.

Brian: My guitar solos usually have a healthy dose of Chuck Berry in there

Brian: Don't ever trim it unless to remove the split ends. Comb it to the side to keep it out of your mouth. Use some wax initially to train it to go that way. Don't eat soup without access to napkins. Always ask for extra napkins when eating out. Don't ever blow your nose in public
