TTT #22: One Among The Fence

COHEED!!  That's right folks an all Coheed & Cambria playlist.  I am going to see them this Saturday in Houston and I feel it is only appropriate.

A few caveats:  1.  There will be no 8tracks.com playlist this week as they only allow 2 songs by one artist on a playlist (lame, I know) SO you will have to enjoy it using either the youtube playlist or Spotify.  2.  I didn't really know what to put for each pic.  So I googled the song title and chose my fav pic that I saw on the first page.  So that will explain that insanity...

Anyway, give them a chance if you don't like them.  They might be one of those bands that has to grow on you.  I have a roughly diverse mix of general Coheed-ness here for your fine ear holes.  Some people can't get past the voice.  Usually, if you like Rush, you'll like Coheed.  I really dig them and here is why...

Ya see Coheed & Cambria is a concept band (I'll be brief).  All of their songs are about two characters named, you guessed it, Coheed & Cambria.  The albums and songs are epic stories about Coheed & Cambria and the world in which they live.  They even have graphic novels/comic books if you would like to delve further into the lore.  The name of the comic book is Armory Wars and if you want to know more about the whole story go here.

On with it...

Mother Superior

I just love that picture.  It cracks me up.  This is by far one of my favorite Coheed songs.  It has the heavier, although not too heavy, stuff that I like plus the really, really mellow stuff that I have come to depend on from Claudio Sanchez.



Do you know who I am?

Here We Are Juggarnaut

I am foreseeing a problem with this pics.  I like to think he just got hit in the head, but not hard enough to stop the rock.  This song is muh jam...I don't really think I am going to have a lot to say on most of these.  It will just be babbling...


Necklace?

Pearl Of The Stars

See that one isn't so bad...  It feel like a future cityscape, which is fitting.  While I love the heavy stuff Coheed puts out.  I always find myself naturally drawn to the mellow side of music.  This song has a nice vibe to it and I really....bla bla bla...I'm not gonna do this for the rest of the songs....it's just silly...you don't care...I don't really wanna write it so let's see...hmmmm


Bang!

Delirium Trigger

Don't ask, because I don't know what's going on there. But it made me laugh and shudder at the same time...so there it is.  Hmmmm...topic...topic...this is the first song I ever heard by Coheed waaaaaay back when mp3.com was a thing and someone told me the lead singer kinda looked like me.  The first of many, many, many times...

Everything Evil

That one isn't that funny, but Zack Galifianakis is, so there.  Ya know coming back to how much I look like Claudio Sanchez (lead singer for Coheed, keep up)  I have been told that countless times.  I sometimes get confused for him at Coheed shows, which is funny.  I like seeing the disappointment on people's faces...does that make me sinister?  I'm right handed....


Simo Hayah

A Favor House Atlantic

I think it is fair to say that this is the song that truly hooked me and made me sit down and listen to more Coheed.  I liked Delirium Trigger but In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth 3, that album, that made me love Coheed.


 Bowie City

 The Suffering

That's what your brain looks like after a Coheed show.  Ask anyone.  Ya know I have actually made friends because of Coheed.  I have a friend named Annie just because I would keep seeing her and her man at shows.  She referred to me as Claudio-not-Claudio for a very long time.  Years before I was just Kenny.  She moved to New York.  She will be jealous that she isn't seeing Coheed on Saturday.   I doubt she reads this but =P nonetheless...


Rock Band almost ruined this for me...

Welcome Home

I have played this song so many times on Rock Band 2 I almost hate this song.  Almost.  It still jams.  I'm jamming it right now.  It is the ultimate song about killing and burying those that cheat on you...

I'm watching you...


Does he marry the Beforewoman?

The Afterman

I chose that picture for obvious reasons.  It's like he just went 'heh'...


Gub'ment

No World For Tomorrow

Ya know with all this North Korea uranium stuff in the news I often wonder if there will be a world tomorrow...but let's not get Geo-political in this piece.  Coheed.


Shine & Break

 The Light & The Glass

I didn't choose this picture because he plays like this in this song I chose it because that is what he does right before my girlfriend, yes MY girlfriend, loses her shit.

Ya see the first time she saw me I spent many hours trying to unlock her car keys from her car because she had locked them inside.  I had only know her a couple of hours but we got to talking and a rom com later here we are.  Of course it's a little more Judd Apatow than You've Got Mail but I digress.  We bonded over Coheed.  So had it not been for Coheed we probably would not be together.  Because she only wanted to date me because I looked moderately like the fella up there chompin on the guitar.

Tis life.  Hey, it got me a lady.  A good one too (most days). Love ya!  See I put that picture up there just for you.




That's it this week folks.  I hope you give everything a chance.  They are truly an epic band that must be listened to repeatedly  to truly appreciate everything they have to offer.

Until next week.  KKNY signing off...
