Vienna Teng

It's about time we have a music section on these forums. We can't hold out any longer. Even if certain people don't have certain hardware required to hear sound....

Vienna Teng

Post by Nibs »

Hi guys!

Wasn't Vienna Teng awesome!? I'm so glad we got all of her cds- she's so cool!!!

These are my favorite lyrics from the Now Three song:

love for one so small
come fill me up 'til I can't see at all


Do you think she means me?? Maybe Snuffles...

I can't stop listening to Vienna Teng!

I have my old favorites like Whatever Schlop Wants and City Hall (for Sneeches and Peaches)

And then of course there's Blue Caravan and I really like Gravity

But my favorite song currently is Between from the Waking Hour album.

It's SO good!!

I wonder if DJ and Duddles will like Vienna even though they didn't see her live. I hope so!!! Petri and Muffins too!! And Shnoodles!!!

I always picture you when I sing it along with her....

Vienna Rocks

Man, you guys are really missing out. Vienna Teng just gets better and better with each successive listen. And her lyrics are really cool too!

I just found a new song I like a ton, called Drought. It has some incredible piano!! I wish I could play like that.

How much longer dear angels...

I heard Nibs and Lee went to a cool Vienna Teng concert and took some pics and even got an autographed DVD.

Looking forward to seeing those pics, Nibs!

Vienna on screen

Post by lee »

Hey Muffins!

Yeah, I'll get on Nibs about uploading those pictures. I know Nibs scanned them into the computer, but hasnt uploaded them yet.

I watched the Vienna DVD the other day with Schlop. It was pretty good... they just filmed one of her concerts... but she seems kind of nervous in it, as though she's trying to play and sing really WELL, like in a recording studio, rather than just relaxing and enjoying the concert and being funny between songs. So that's too bad.

But there is this one amazingly cool thing where she sings The Tower in a duet with this cool guy and it's really neat that way... so that part is awesome. Maybe I'll send it to you guys to check out... it's pretty cool.

There's also a funny part where her backup band members make up a silly dance for the City Hall song. Like how Gulliver and Schlop used to make up dances to Wicked... hoo hoo.

Anyway, Vienna rules.

Vienna III

Post by Sneeches »

Hey PEACHES

Did you HEAR that the VIENNA TENG TICKETS went on SALE yesterday. I got SOME for in DECEMBER when she plays again in SAN FRANIBSCO.

I was curious if you could COME OVER and we could go see VIENNA AGAIN.

Maybe we could also eat at IN N OUT and do some SPRINTS around a park, you know for your TRAINING and all.

Anyway, I MISS YOU PEACHES!! HUGS!!!!

Vienna pics at last

Post by Nibs »

Hey Guys!

Sorry it took me so long to get these Vienna pictures online. Here they finally are. I know there's a ton and I should probably only pick the best ones, but oh well. See if you can find me! Also, there is a funny dog I kept taking pictures of too!! But it is kind of paparazzi style, what with there being so many....

Also, this batch has the pictures of when Lee saw Barry Bonds hit 757. So check those out too.

The pictures of the 2 hawks at the beginning were taken from our bed, right out the window!

Hi PEACHES

Lee got us tickets to go see VIENNA TENG tomorrow. I hope its a GOOD SHOW. It looks like it's a dual show with ALEX WONG. I hope he's GOOD. That one time he played the BOX and he was pretty GOOD, hopefully he plays some more of the BOX.

Lee will let you know how it GOES. I hope I get to see you SOON, PEACHES!!

MISS YOU!!!

Hideaway bear

Post by lee »

As you know, that was a cool Vienna Teng show we saw last week.

One of the big hit songs that Alex Wong played has a chorus that says

I hide you in the creases

It's a song about how he had a girlfriend that no one liked and then after they broke up, he still misses her but he doesn't let his friends know. So he hides her in the creases of his life.

But I was thinking... it's just like NIBS because I can never find him because he's always hiding in the creases of the sheets... hoo hoo.
