Band of Horses

Hi and thank you for your message. Wikipedia Manual of Style guidance on this topic is that the final comma in a list of items is acceptable but not mandatory. I prefer to include the comma (e.g., "red, white, and blue" rather than "red, white and blue") but either format is acceptable on Wikipedia. Everything counts (talk) 16:52, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

RE: Lamb on the Lam in the City

Thanks for the reply. I agree that the melody sounds a lot like "Detlef Schrempf" and have often wondered if it was merely just a reprise… still, that doesn't explain the title. Yet again, why the hell is "Detlef Schrempf" called "Detlef Schrempf"? Detlef Schrempf played for the Seattle Supersonics, which is the same city Band of Horses was formed, but it really has nothing to do with the song itself.

While we're talking about BOH, I have a few other questions you may be able to shine some light on:

1. Where the hell can I get a hold of Tour EP?
2. The song "I Go to the Barn Because I Like The" from Everything All the Time also has a strange title. What does he "like" in the barn? My theory is that the answer to the missing noun from the title is revealed in the immediate following song "Monsters". Equaling, "I Go to the Barn Because I Like The Monsters". If you listen closely—especially towards the end of "Barn"—the melodies from both songs sound very similar. The chord progression on "Barn" is D-F#m7-G-A, while the chord progression in "Monsters" is D-G-A. Pretty similar and a bit peculiar for being back-to-back on the album. I wonder if there's something there.
3. Is there a reason they don't perform "I Go to the Barn Because I Like The", "St. Augustine", "Lamb on the Lam (In the City)", "For Annabelle" and "Neighbor" live?

Sorry for so many questions. Lemme know what you think. Geeky Randy (talk) 22:06, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Take your time responding, I know you're on vacation. Anyway, I just realized that they played "For Annabelle" at the concert I attended in 2008, and Ben broke a glass bottle over his head during the performance. Here's the link: [1]. I always assumed the song was called "Trudy"—do you happen to know if that was the working title for "For Annabelle"? Also, too bad about "Barn" and "St. Augustine"; I love both of those songs and am dying to hear them live. Geeky Randy (talk) 23:04, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

RE:"Lamb on the Lam (In the City)" played live in England!

It appears their last show at O2 Academy Oxford in Oxford, England (on June 11, 2010) they played "Lamb on the Lam (In the City)" for the first time ever. Maybe Ben had a little introduction before they played it explaining the history and the title of the song. It'd be nice to talk to someone who was at the show. Here's the setlist: [2]

Also here, [3], a user named doc claims that somebody said "I Go to the Barn Because I Like the" was played. That'd be cool if that was indeed the unknown song in the setlist that closed the main set. No "Is There a Ghost" either. What a setlist! Geeky Randy (talk) 22:45, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

RE:"Annabelle"

Nice thoughts on "Annabelle". I also missed BOH when they came to my town two weeks ago because I had to work and only heard about it last minute. Argh! Geeky Randy (talk) 20:33, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

RE:"Laredo"

Sorry. It must've climbed from #37 to #34. Couldn't find a source, and I believe the user who originally updated it had been a vandal in the past. Glad to see it climbing the charts; I might have to create a Wikipedia page for it soon. Geeky Randy (talk) 16:13, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

RE:"The Great Salt Lake"

Yeah, perhaps. It'd be nice to at least show that there is a source that corroborates with the article's claim, and the only thing I could find it the summary of the article in a search engine. Do you think it's okay to provide a search engine result as a source? Geeky Randy (talk) 17:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

"Barn" and "St. Augustine"

I remember we talked before about how these two songs aren't played live very often. Live versions of these two songs surfaced before from 2006, thought you might like to know: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI7DdqGh5Ao) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AHiCf6-cfE).

Hey, have you heard this yet? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9dc3L9U6Hw) Apparently, Nov16 was also a name BoH went by. Geeky Randy (talk) 01:10, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

I can hear Ben's vocals in the Nov16 version of the song. Apparently, this song was recorded before BoH, and since Brook is credited with writing "Barn", we can at least assume it is indeed an early version of the song and not some underground cover. But I'll do some searching myself to find more info about Nov16. Do you happen to know if Grand Archives performs "Barn" or "St. Augustine" live, since Matt wrote those, or are those two songs pretty much retired? Has Ben Bridwell ever said why he doesn't perform them live—I know he didn't write them, but it's no different than playing a cover or something—does he not want to perform them without Matt or does he have a distaste for them? I jsut went to a BoH concert in Seattle last week—great show; someone threw a Detlef Schrempf t-shirt on stage and Ben put in on while he played "DS" and "The Funeral". Anyway, I'll never give up hope that he'll play either "Barn" or "SA" someday. Geeky Randy (talk) 21:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, buddy-- In case you're interested, here's the YouTube videos of the December 2012 performances of "I Go to the Barn Because I Like the" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GOO1Mu3p6w) and "St. Augustine" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zyq2KUUtGw). Thanks for the copy editing—always nice to have a second pair of eyes on these kinds of things. Happy Christmas from Seattle, Geeky Randy (talk) 02:58, 26 December 2012 (UTC)

Video

Hey, in regards to our discussion, I thought you might like to see this video if you haven't yet. [4] At about 10:38, Ben makes an indirect reference to getting rid of members who just weren't right for the band. Nothing to really add to a Wikipedia article; I just thought you'd like to see it.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

RE: The Gracious Few

It actually wasn't an article. The U.S. iTunes store posted the track listing when they put the album up for pre-order. --Livewire1015 (talk) 00:20, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Flags

Most of the flags listed in the charts violate WP:ICONDECORATION, these flagicons are simply decorative because they do not provide any additional encyclopedic information since the country's name is already in the link. The reason I did not link directly to this subsection is that some of the Billboard charts did not list U.S. In these cases I was adding U.S. to the chart information while I was removing the American flag.

There have been two discussions on Wikipedia:Manual of Style (record charts) at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (record charts)/Archive 2#Flag Icons and Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (record charts)/Archive 3#Flag usage where consensus was found not to use flagicons in chart tables. If you still feel that flagicons are necessary, please start a discussion at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (record charts) or Wikipedia:Manual of Style (icons) before inserting any additional flagicons into single charts. I will in agreement not remove any flagicons until you make a decision to either accept the prior consensus or to seek a new consensus. If you decide to seek a new consensus I will participate in the discussion and abide by the newly found consensus. Aspects (talk) 19:36, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

"No One's Gonna Love You"

Barnstar

Thank you so so much for the barnstar. I've been waiting a long time for one of these, and I'm so grateful that you recognize the time I put in to spread the wonderful music of Band of Horses.

Single/Song title

Gerenally, I believe databases like Allmusic get things culled from record companies, etc. That doesn't mean there can't be typos though. If you are confident that Allmusic simply made an error—or you think it's more than likely it's a typo—please change the error within the article. Thanks again for all your help and support!!

Laredo

You're welcome for the barnstar, you deserve it. Also, I created an article for "Laredo". Let me know what you think. I had a hard time figuring out which Laredo the song is about (if it is being specific); Bridwell talks about writing a lot of songs close to the Canadian border which would mean Laredo, Montana, but the music video appears more cowboy/desert themed which would lead me to assume Laredo, TX. If you happen to find an answer, let me know. Thanks again for everything! Geeky Randy (talk) 18:37, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Good to know. Thanks for the reply. However, the reason I believe he says "fuck" is because it is indeed edited out when they play the music video on television. Perhaps the network could've gotten the wrong lyrics and you are right the lyrics are "up", but I thought I'd pass that by you. Geeky Randy (talk) 18:01, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Music video for "Dilly"

Have you seen it? Do you think this earns its own wiki page? Geeky Randy (talk) 22:44, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps I should hold off until it's confirmed whether it's a single or not. I mean, how notable is this music video compared to "NW Apt." or "For Annabelle", for example? There seems to be a lot of music videos off of Infinite Arms that don't feature the band. Should we treat "Dilly" any differently? If so, I'd be happy to create an article; but for now, I'm just not sure. What do you think? Geeky Randy (talk) 20:51, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

I went ahead and made an article for "Dilly". Let me know what you think. Also, it appears "Compliments" has been redirected to Infinite Arms. Do you agree with this? Is there anything we can do to make the song more notable? Thank you. Geeky Randy (talk) 21:50, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

He Will Have His Way

G'day mate,

Thanks heaps for tidying up the article I created for He Will Have His Way. I agree with most of your removal of redlinks, but I have re-inserted the redlinks for "Oh Mercy" and "Artisan Guns". I'm sure you'll agree, they are notable bands, and there is an abundance of content on them which is easily verifiable. Therefore, I think, per WP:REDLINK it is reasonable to keep these redlinks as

In general, a red link should be allowed to remain in an article if it links to a term that could plausibly sustain an article, but for which there exists no candidate article, or article section, under any name.

RE: Ben sings Mat

I actually watched Grand Archives play in July and in October this year. Despite both shows being pretty much exactly the same, they sounded great. I snatched the set list from the stage at the July show, and the October show… well, I actually asked Mat for the set list, which he happily gave me. I thanked him for a great show and for also giving me the set list, then I shook his hand.

I had been meaning to tell you about this encounter, but I kind of lost touch with the Wikipedia community for a little while. I have also been meaning to drop by the Redwood, not only to check it out, but also to get a word with Mat. I respect not asking him tons of questions while he's at work, but maybe he'll be able to shed some light on his musical experiences and knowledge through some friendly conversation. It's a 10 minute drive from where I live, I really have no excuse not to do this.

I was never much of a Carissa's Wierd fan, but I am familiar enough (actually a die-hard fan) with Band of Horses and Grand Archives to be a good listener to his stories. Let me know if there's anything you'd like me to ask when I have a chat with him. Talk soon! Geeky Randy (talk) 03:23, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

associated acts

on the Live_(band) page you reverted a change because of the number of members didn't qualify as an associated act. What is the percentage that would determine a qualifying act? Is there an official stance on this?

The reason I ask is if you look at the Foo Fighters page, you have Germs (band) with just one Foo Fighter member being part of the associated act and Tenacious D with no intersecting members (although Dave Grohl was the session drummer for them). — Preceding unsigned comment added by IamPersistent (talk • contribs) 05:50, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi, I'm absolutely baffled as to why my account has been blocked. I used to be a very regular contributor, now I only edit occasionally but I use Wikipedia every day. I've checked my recent contributions and can't see anything even remotely controversial. I would really appreciate an explanation and would like to be unblocked please. Many thanks. UPDATE - Since I added this unblock request I have done some digging and seen that my son has created yet another Wikipedia account and once again been blocked User:Middledistance99 - I really can't be held responsible for another family member's actions. My account has been active for many years, long before he was on Wikipedia. Thegraciousfew (talk) 06:17, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

Procedural decline - you were unblocked due to the discussion at Middledistance99's talk - TNT ^💖 20:47, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

It may be wise to stop letting your son use your computer; this isn't the first time he's been disruptive on Wikipedia. PeterTheFourth (talk) 10:07, 25 August 2018 (UTC)

All the Good Times (Are Past & Gone) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, All the Good Times (Are Past & Gone), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ... discospinster _talk 03:28, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Regarding Melbourne

I thought the clarifier for simple plan being originally from Melbourne, Australia rather than Melbourne, Florida might be appropriate for certain quick readers from the southwestern united States Arguably. 👍 SkidMountTubularFrame (talk) 05:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
