And speaking of GBS...

[annathepiper]

Like I need an excuse to post about them... ^_^ BUT! So in my copious free time, if I ever get around to making animated LJ icons, they will be Great Big Sea icons. I can almost see them in my head.

Séan's would say 'Séan McCann the shanty man, he plays the drum as well', and it would be a picture of him and his bodhran.

Darrell's would say 'There's no bass like an Outer Cove bass'.

Bob's would be one of him with accordion and would say 'We've got Bobby on the squeezebox'.

But ALAN... what caption would go on Alan's?

Tell me your thoughts, GBS fans on my Friends list!

"And I don't know where I'm going, but I swear it won't be long"

"Everybody in the house, put your hands in the air"

"Vertical Movement!"

I dunno....

[annathepiper]

Yeah, it's hard to come up with something that's uniquely Alan--so many possibilities to choose from. :) He introduces everybody else, so it's easy to come up with lines for them. I had also thought of "vertical movement!" but that also would require the exact proper picture!

"Badgers make great hats!"

[annathepiper]

No no dear, that's YOUR fashion statement, not Alan's. ;D

Gads, I guess I should listen to these boys once. They played Philly this year, and when I saw the ads, I thought of you...not enough to buy a ticket, mind, but I did think of you! ;)

[annathepiper]

Yes. Yes you should. Because EVERYBODY NEEDS GREAT BIG SEA. :D

[cafiorello.livejournal.com]

Are there legal snippets I can listen to on the web somewhere?
Cathy

[annathepiper]

Yes! Up on their official site, they have snippets from various tracks off various albums. I recommend Rant and Roar, which was the one whose snippets I played about ten billion times and then of which I said to myself, "I should buy this album!" ^_^

Plus, they're all gorgeous. :D

I am sorry that I am going to have to do something serious to you. Why? You have gotten me addicted to another great band. I now want some GBS music on CD. :)

[gerimaple.livejournal.com]

and the problem with this is ..... ?

[wildshadowstar.livejournal.com]

No problem, just that I'm broke, so I can't just order me up some GBS at the moment. Maybe that'd be a good b-bay present.

[annathepiper]

Noted and filed! ;)

[annathepiper]

MUAH! Gosh, I feel so accomplished now. ;)

And here, while I'm leading you into temptation, have a whole page of reasons why every diehard Russell Crowe fan needs the DVD of Master and Commander now now now now now NOW NOW NOW NOW. ;D

What about....

[scrunchions.livejournal.com]

Alan wanna kiss Ariel?

Just a suggestion...

Re: What about....

[annathepiper]

I get the impression SOMEONE is trying to make a statement here. ;)

Re: What about....

[scrunchions.livejournal.com]

That's also what I told him...

Re: What about....

[annathepiper]

Hee hee!

I think if I got close enough to do that with Alan, my head would explode. >:) Conversational distance is documentedly enough to make my knees treacherously unstable!

[lethendy.livejournal.com]

I'm not on your friends list, I got here through avalonmissy's friends list. Hope you don't mind me posting. You might once have known me as EmJay.....

What about "From the thriving metropolis of Petty Harbour" for Alan?

[annathepiper]

Oh, hi there! And no, I don't mind you posting on my journal threads at all. :)

Hee! Hrmm. I have noticed that the phrases for the other B'ys I've chosen are all things said or sung about them by Alan! So ideally, it should be something one of the other B'ys has said about HIM. I wonder if there's a good quote somewhere on the DVD....

[lethendy.livejournal.com]

Why not go through the archived reviews on Missy's Rant and Roar site? There's bound to be a comment by one of the b'ys recorded there.

[annathepiper]

Hrmm! A fine idea! I shall see when I can uncover when the opportunity presents itself; that page of fine quotes from concert banter, the URL of which I have stored on my Favorites list at home, also comes to mind as a potential source. Right now, all I can think of is Séan straightfacedly proclaiming that Alan is the most conceited guy he knows, in the interview snippets on the DVD. ;)
