Cage the Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked

Published by Toronto Mike on May 8, 2009 @ 20:55 in SLS ~ Smells Like Sour

slsI'm submitting a song for SLS21 consideration. I'm submitting "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage the Elephant.

Cage the Elephant sound a little White Stripish on this track, but I dig it. Maybe I dig it because it's White Stripish?

In Indian religious philosophies the elephant is a symbol of strength and wisdom, representing good energy rather than negativity. Hence, this band wanted to cage the elephant. Now you know the rest of the story.

Reminds me a lot of Devo's Whip It Video or Wall of Voodoo's Mexican Radio

That's The Edge philosophy as well.

There are worse philosophies. "It's too late, let's not play it at all", for example.

True. The Edge does that a lot too. ;-)

Anyways, I was just joshing ya, as I am sure you know.

It's a good song... I'm just still in awe of how long some radio stations take to pick up a new song, if they do at all.

I'm glad to say it doesn't effect me much either way.

There's an inherent risk with being on the bleeding edge.

Corporate radio has to be more conservative, unfortunately.

I chalk it up as the nature of the beast.

"has" to be?

alright. but who's listening?

but you're right.. for whatever reason the cfny format wouldn't work today.. not on fm radio.. indie 103's death on fm is proof of that

i can't remember the last time i turned on an am/fm radio..
