kyle, you won't impress a girl with someone else's mona lisa. man up and do it yourself.
someone once composed a piano piece dedicated to me before asking me out. it was amazing, and it made it a little harder to say no.

GOOD advice! And nice analogy there.

did you personally (or perhaps as a group) think you'd get to this level - or indeed any sort - of popularity or did you think you'd fail as a band

for the first six months when i was in the band i was mostly concerned with paying my rent, and after that stopped happening i was mostly concerned with having a pair of shoes that weren't rotting, so... can i say neither of the above? none of us expected to have any sort of pop success, but... i mean, we like ourselves, so we didn't expect to fail, whatever that means. does it mean get dropped? we didn't expect to get dropped. we didn't really expect to get signed. but we would have carried on playing regardless. it wasn't like we had anything else to do.

by fail i mean, for everyone to dislike your record and generally knock it to a point where you'd all think... "fuck it, foals aren't gonna happen" - obviously you've said you'd continue playing anyway which is great - but where would all the money come from to pay rent and whatever else you'd want/need?

interesting answer man!

tron, astronauts n all and big big love have all been played:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUExO1JR5mI [carling academy, brixton] - i reckon it's one of their best performances of tron.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxlCFPGT_Ec [acceleratorfestivalen, stockholm, sweden] - great quality and epic intro fo' sure

okay i couldn't find a link for astronauts n all live, but i'm sure it's been played live a few times before.

edit:

found it in an old thread, as they said, poor poor quality... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1HVvnpy ... re=related

Yeh I know they've been played, I was just wondering why they don't do it more regularly... that's all.

I wish they would play Dearth, one of their best songs lol. Amazing on Vinyl, good quality shit.

Edwin: Have you seen the video those A-Level students did of Astronaughts and All? Like it?

Some of the comments on the video had people thinking that it was an actual foals music video.
Laff.

yeah, the amount of dumb comments like, "YOU AREN'T THE FOALS OMG" and stuff irritates me alot. people just don't bother to read the descriptions anymore.

when will the new album be out?

TotalLifeForever · **Posted:** Sat Oct 31, 2009 3:34 pm

In nme a few weeks ago they said a month left of recording. lets assume its two moths then it will probably be out in feb/march. just a guess taking everything that needs to happen into account.

I'm'a just gonna be really happen when I see a tracklist/album title/album cover, let alone hear a single song!

you're clearly mistaken kyle, they've already released a song from their new album, it's guaranteed to put the unk in your funk y'all
