Six or Seven Different Things (lyric, singer, punk, itunes)

TheBig3 · 02-11-2006, 06:42 PM

I've got a few issues Im hoping to address with this thread, making it harder to go off topic (but I have faith in you Music Banter). Here goes:

So I was looking up the song "violet" by Hole back when I didn't know the name of it (30 seconds ago).

Now I thought I had heard some DJ tell me once that it was a song by the Young Marble Titans, but thus far that elitist punk known as iTunes shows nothing for them. Im going to google it in a minute but is this in fact by them.

Second question; I'd like to know the reasons people assumed Kurt wrote that songs on that CD. Is that fact? Im not really sure, unless Hole is on the radio, I don't make a point to go listen to their stuff.

Also I was looking up the song "Violet" to see if that would bring up the YMT's (sometimes it helps Apple find thigns better) and I found a Frank Black version, which I assumed would be the same song, but it wasn't anything like it. It was...folkie. I don't know too much about Frank Black other than he fronted the Pixies and he's from Boston (and what else is there to know really) but this was actually good.

My question is, is Honeycomb (the disc its off of) all like this? is it worth the purchase? If so, could we argue that frank black deserves to be amoungst the singer/songwriters in the Folk forum? Never would I have thought...

Anyway, anything you want to get back to me on, go right ahead.

I can't help you but my 2c is that I really like the song Violet!

Yeah I know, I need to find a place where people eat music like I do.

I love music banter but most times people are prozac-happy to jihad their opinions in a "best/worst of" thread.

I'll do my own research, though I sorta thought Fenix or Hatemonger could toss me a bone.

Violets not the one he wrote. . . But he helped out on a fair few of their tracks and wrote one [Old Age I think], but there was some big argument about it and who got royalties and all that shimazz. I think he just helped out on this one. Backing vocals and lyrical help, but then courtney got rid of most of what he put in anyway.

Yeah but theres some realtion between hole and young marble [giants] (i did some research, maybe its this name instead), so lord knows but since we can't find anything on that,

Has anyone heard/owns the Honeycomb CD.
