YOU THINK YOU KNOW MUSIC?

[thez]

Okay, great! Maybe you can help me out then.

As painful as it may be to watch something from MTV, if anyone out there knows what song is playing right here when they show the Brokeback Mountain clip, you should tell me because I RECOGNIZE the song and yet I don't remember any pertinent information like ARTIST or TITLE and it's DRIVING ME INSANE AS WELL AS DRIVING ME TO CAPS and I need something to distract me from HORRIBLE SCHOOLWORK which I really shouldn't be distracting myself from but it's just damn horrible.

SO HELP. IF YOU CAN.

You know I'd do the same for you. If I had even the smallest inkling of music knowledge.

How about I just stop capping everything like crazy instead. How's that?

ETA: "Gold Lion" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. So says tenmazero. May his brothers always be venturous. And may rotsman's news team always assemble swiftly.

Now the question is, where the fuck DID I hear this before? I'm betting it wasn't on the radio.

I watched that god-awful thing, but sadly I don't know the song either. I've got a Brokeback expert on the case, though. ^_^

I'd take a ranch hand job but I don't think my heart could handle the repeated stress.

It's not a song from Brokeback Mountain though. That's MTV's thing: play the top 40 when you announce nominees, not songs from the movie.

And I'm afraid I have no ranch hand jobs for you anyway (I paid you to watch the sheep, not stem the rose damnit now I'm quoting the damn movie).

Also: MTV's site sucks ass. Check it in a more friendly way at YouTube...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoQj1EXq2jM

The scene in question starts around 2:20 on the clip.

It's "Gold Lion," by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It took a while for me to figure out because I think I've maybe heard the song once. :-D

ROCK THE FUCK ON. Good show, sir!

Maybe David played it? I think he likes the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Perhaps! I suspect it was one of my indie-ly inclined friends.

The guy I've been staying with and I have been playing Counter Strike in co-op mode. We have fun with the Brokeback jokes, especially when we do the move where one guy hangs from a ledge and the other climbs up him to get to the top.

"I can't quit you."

Aww, that's... touching and strange. Those crazy Counter Strike avatars.
