X-Crescence CLXIX: You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby

[Daniel Mengsk]

Daniel Mengsk, I recorded a song for ye...

It's a Scottish ballad written by Andy Hunter called "Ye Hielan Chiels", and it's to be recorded by the lovely Fiona Hunter for her upcoming album.

It's the sound that you hate but the voices that you love.

The song recounts the Scots involvement in WWII as part of the British troops. The distinctive sounds produced by consonance and alliteration with the voice are stellar. And the imagery of the gas clouds invading the trenches and the blood and sweat caked and stained so badly that no rain could wash them clean, nor the deeds that had been done. It's such a strong song.

You sing it extremely well seany, I tried to find a vocal-less melody to play at the same time as you sang the song - I'd LOVE to hear you sing 'live' in a small, Scottish pub in some small village near Edinburgh or....yes....even Glasgow. I love how you can sing in dialect.

I liked the issue of Avenging Spider-Man I read which had Carol's first appearance as CM.

Nope. This guy.

Thanks! I'd love to do that. I'd actually love to do that here. I just don't find the time to practice my guitar anymore. We have a big folk music scene in Cincinnati and Indianapolis, even with traditional Scottish and Irish folk. We're heavy in the Irish roots in Cincinnati, but also extremely German, both of which have heavy influence still.

I found the best website. It's called Fuck Yeah Janet Van Dyne...the name spoke volumes to me...

I am back from the carvery. I ate too much food, far too fast, as is tradition.

Feel a bit sick.

Fuck my flat is cold.

Don't tell me that you can sing/talk in German as well as Scottish and Irish because then I will really get jealous!

If my voice didn't get all kinds of fucky uppy when I record it, I would totally sing you a Juanes song right now seany - either Me Enamora or La Camisa Negra. It will have to wait until we both make our way to Scotland one day and I can do some karaoke. In the meantime, this is for you lass

Does anyone have a link to Warpath's Twitter account? I was told he had one in another thread, but I can't find it.

Things I should try not to think about #128 (out of a series of 500).

I live on a flight path for landing planes at Britain's second busiest airport (maybe third, I dunno).

It's Bonfire Night weekend, and there's a lot of firework displays going on, including a huge one at Stockport County football ground, also on the flight path.

Planes are still landing.

Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuckitty.

I'm a lad, not a lass. Thanks for the Scottish sentiment, though! And, no, I can't do German. I also, I like the song you posted by Andy Hunter. And I live Walk off the Earth! They're playing in Cincinnati next Saturday, but I can't go! I'm a little upset about that.

He was talked about in the twitter by Kitty, but he doesn't have one. Storm and Husk now have them.

I'm loving that the poor sportsmanship demonstrated in the Marvel League has caused it to deteriorate into a pure comedy thread.
Mattbib is going to ban us all..

You are a wonder lad, I'll learn Scottish/Irish just so we can sing together and hearing you swear in silence when I butcher songs with my poor singing voice ;)

I'll try to find you new voices to enjoy - I've introduced you to this artist before but I don't think that you've heard this song before.

'Us all'...? Did you just group me with the rest of you crazy people, Sonic??

Well you ARE his man-wife.
