LPD Lyrical annotations/essays These are works-in-progress, but I have had approval from Phil Knight (The Silverman) to share them. If anyone has anything to add, please write me and I will edit appropriately. These aren't meant to be the end-all-be-all meanings to Edward's lyrics, but they make nice reference companions, and represent years of talking with the band and personal study. Please let me know if you found them of any interest at all - I hope you enjoy them!-Kris http://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Soma\_Bathhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Before\_The\_Endhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:It\_Rots\_Your\_Liverhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Black\_Highwayhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Phallus\_Deihttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Waiting\_For\_The\_Call\_-\_You\_%27N%27\_Mehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Defeatedhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Gamehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Thursday\_Night\_Feverhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:The\_Chemical\_Playschoolhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Frostyhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Stoned\_Obituaryhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Dolls%27\_Househttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Hanging\_Gardenshttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Wall\_Purges\_Nighthttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Lisa%27s\_Partyhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Arzhklahh\_Olgevezh%21http://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Tower\_Onehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Poppy\_Dayhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Rope\_And\_Gloryhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Gorgon\_Zola%27s\_Babyhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Fifteen\_Flies\_In\_The\_Marmaladehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Femme\_Miragehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:I\_Am\_The\_Way%2C\_The\_Truth%2C\_The\_Lighthttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Agapehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Golden\_Dawnhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:A\_Message\_From\_Our\_Sponsorhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Go\_Ask\_Alicehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Tower\_Sixhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:The\_Dairyhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Jewel\_In\_The\_Crownhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Our\_Lady\_In\_Kharkihttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:The\_Galleryhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Cloud\_Zerohttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Under\_Glasshttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:The\_Grain\_Kingshttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Belladonnahttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:A\_Space\_Betweenhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Cheraderamahttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Fourth\_Secrethttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Expresso\_Noirhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Prague\_Springhttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Pavanehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:A\_Crack\_In\_Melancholy\_Timehttp://lyricwiki.org/The\_Legendary\_Pink\_Dots:Madame\_Guillotine\_%28Track\_1%29 (1 Comment |Comment on this) |

New legendarypinkdots.org! Hello everyone... it's been quite the journey, but we have the new Legendary Pink Dots website up and running! Hooray!We moved into a more modern era and got ourselves a content management system (Joomla!). This means that updates will be more frequent, and it also means that the site will be more interactive (i.e., fans can correct or add information to the site). In other words, the more involvement from the community, the better the website will be!Before you click to the site, I want to make one quick disclaimer:The graphic design and layout are *very* simple, and not the vision we have of a dark but colorful stained glass motif in an old stone church. What you're seeing is a default template of Joomla!, which is relatively easy to "theme" or "skin" (however, I could use some help with the design... if you're interested, contact me). So rather than looking with a critical eye to the colours or graphics, think more about all the new things you can now browse and do... we will give it all a facelift soon enough :) Without further ado, the new...legendarypinkdots.org(NOTE: none of the information from the old website was lost (pictures, trading post, etc). We're still working on integrating everything.)If you look at the NEWS section, you'll see that we've imported and sorted the old news archive into over 250 individually linkable articles (you can sign up for the RSS feed to read the new articles in your favorite RSS Reader). We've also posted a bunch of old interviews with the band (if you have more, please send them).The biggest accomplishment, by far, has been the discography. It is now integrated with Freebase.Freebase is basically a "database for the world". It works just like wikipedia, where anyone can edit or contribute to information. When you do, the Legendary Pink Dots discography becomes more and more complete (the official discography will still reside at brainwashed.com/lpd). I've personally really enjoyed using Freebase, it's very exciting!Because we're using Joomla! as the content management system, we can allow there to be many editors. You don't need to know programming or PHP in order to correct errors or fix bad formatting in articles. If you would like an editing account, please just let me know. I would be happy to have help.Involving yourself in the non-legendarypinkdots.org sites is great too. Keeping vandalism off of the Wikipedia article or even enhancing that article is very helpful. You can add cover art and track information to Freebase, making the discography more complete. Or upload your photos of the band to the Flickr group.There are a lot of new things comings! So stay tuned...Please don't hesitate to write if you have any questions or ideas about the site! (1 Comment |Comment on this) |

random sound sample appearance Sorry for the slightly off-topic post here, but I thought I'd share this with you.I just heard this song lazydayz, by a band called lusine icl which is a techno-y electronica kinda song, but one of its distinctive features is a sound loop which sounds so much like one used in the middle of You and Me And Rainbows that it's haunting. Anyone who has listened to YAMAR a bunch of times is going to hear this song and immediately wonder if it's a sample or just a coincidence.If you like glitchy electronica, there are a 2 other tracks by Lusine Icl that I am quite fond of too: Chao and Dr. Chinme. Both worth downloading from slsk. (Comment on this) |

Mix So, speaking of mixes for friends, I just made one. It's long, but they have a lot of stuff.It's more or less a mix of classics, my favorite stuff, and good stuff for someone who hasn't heard very much, but is interested. I tried to give it a bit of flow, but I'm not sure how good a job I did. In any case, here's the track list - lemme know whatcha'll think.A Triple Moon SaluteVoicesFrostyCurious GuyThe Hanged ManWaiting for the CloudFifteen Flies in the MarmaladeSoftly SoftlyThe Man With the Cut-Glass HeartSoft ToyA Crack in Melancholy TimeNo Matter What You DoI Love You in Your Tragic BeautyBella DonnaThe Light in My Little Girl's EyesThe Plasma TwinsThe Island of Our DreamsMekkanikkWhere No Man HellsvilleBlacklistThe Grain KingsThe Pleasure PalaceGreen GangAnother Kind of ViolenceThe WardenPoppy DayDamienApocalypse ThenMmmmmm....Under GlassJewel in the CrownHotel NoirManiacThe Made Man's ManifestoAs Long as it's Purple and GreenDefeatedA Velvet ResurrectionNew TomorrowLucifer LandedNew TomorrowZero ZeroFate's Faithful Punchline (Comment on this) |

Has anyone ever made a Pink Dots mix for a friend who's never heard them before? If so, what song did you start with? I don't think I really understood the band until I saw them live, and their more accessible songs aren't necessarily their best; in fact, some of their better stuff might be a little... off-putting at first. I'm thinking "The Ocean Cried Blue Murder," "Fate's Faithful Punchline," or "Zero Zero." (22 Comments |Comment on this) |

New tear garden release Okay, so I got my hands on the new tear garden album. I plan on doing a review of it for my magazine soon enough, but I thought a few of you might be interested in what I thought of it at first; both for those of you who have heard it and those who haven't. If you have, I'd love to hear your thoughts as well, if you haven't, let me know them once you do. Here's the entry I posted in my personal journal about it:http://teir-garten.livejournal.com/73641.html (8 Comments |Comment on this) |

From LPD Online Central: 02/01/07: CONCERT AND RELEASE NEWS:CONCERT NEWS: The Legendary Pink Dots are confirmed for the Castle Party Festival in Bolkow, Poland on July 29, 2007.An Edward Ka-Spel/Silverman show is under negotiation for March 17, 2007 at Goudvishal in Arnhem,NL. If the show is confirmed, it will be in conjunction with Savage Republic, long-time favorites at Chez Dots. _(This is HUGE! Savage Republic and the Pink Dots? Why the hell don't I live in Europe?!)_The Pink Dots will tour Northern Europe in late April and early May. If you are a promoter or have useful tips, please direct your communications to Lisa Amend, who is in charge of LPD publicity and promotion (including the LPD websites).RELEASE NEWS: State of Union by The Silverman has been remastered with a 21-minute bonus piece added for a forthcoming release in Beta-lactam Ring's Black Series.

For very obvious reasons...)The second Tear Garden release for Subconscious Communications' From the Vault series is in progress. It will feature all new material. _(This is guaranteed to be the most amazing this 2007 offers me. If we're lucky, maybe they'll get off their asses and... I dunno, play a show, perhaps?)_A 5xLP box set is in the works and will include Kleine Krieg, Chemical Playschool Part 2 Edition 2 and Live in Cologne 1983 as well as many surprise extras.The Pink Dots will be recording their next album throughout the course of 2007.

Purchasing LPD CD's? On a recent whim from Amanda Palmer of the Dresden Dolls I have discovered the LPD. I am in search of 'Any Day Now', 'The Maria Dimension' and 'The Golden Age'. I would prefer not having to send a mail order all the way the Netherlands (I'm from Canada) and amazon.ca seems to be quite the high price. I can't buy anything using ebay which would be kind of a large problem. Current Mood:  geeky (32 Comments |Comment on this) |
