Here's the thing though...we have rule that states an artist can only be represented once on each SLS. So, when SLS11 is "released" later this month, Incubus' "Megalomaniac" will be there meaning "Talk Show on Mute" won't be.
Having said that, this tune is only starting to pick up steam now so depending how things go you might find it on SLS12. Stay tuned. |

Yeah I really like "talk show on mute" and the whole new Incubus cd. I couldn't agree more with the lyrics. All these crappy talk show host are "so much more endearing with the sound turned off!!!!" |

The Electric Sheep?
Its all about the media being animals and us being the foolish sheep that are along for fall (i think). Notice how when bands play on talk show they never get their props. Its always seems like the performance fly’s over the heads of the audience and the F*ING TALK SHOW HOST. I MEAN ALL THE MAJOR NETWORK HOSTs NEED A PUNCH IN THE FACE, EXCEPT JOHN STUWART AND MAYBE KILBORN.
Anyways, yes we are all animals and some are closer to werewolves then sheep.
Sleep now in the fire....

Sorry to correct you Carter but that isnt what its talking about...
the part
"The electric sheep are dreaming of your face" is making reference to "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Philip K. Dick (196
which, to relate it to more pop culture for you all, was the inspiration to the movie "Bladerunner"
and another part
"Come one, come all, into nineteen-eighty four" This makes reference to the book "1984" by George Orwell (1949, I believe...) Which I recommend you all pick up today, because it is essential to culture. Once again, to relate this to pop culture for you, this book is where the phrase "Big Brother is watching you!" came from.
Its mostly talking about society becomeing mindless from watching TV and how fake everyone is on it... |

Actually, I believe electric sheep is a reference to a Philip K. Dick novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (on which the movie Bladerunner was based). In the future, a World War has killed off most human beings and sent most other species into extinction. Animals are thus greatly sought after, and companies build very realistic replicas (hence "electric sheep")--and the idea is then carried to humans when companies begin replicating humans. The point? Electric sheep are dreaming about us, intimating we are thoughtless, mechanical androids like in the novel. |

I know I'm very late on this, but I figured I would clear up the electric sheep. It is a reference to the book "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", the basis for the movie Bladerunner. The song reverses the role of the android (us) and the sheep, saying that we are nothing more than the dream of an electric sheep in the current state of America. That electric sheep being... Bush? |

1984 hmm mtv was becoming more popular..computers and big cell phones..talk shows picking up steam -- the media. "come one come all" sounds like a carnival. I dont believe one president will sell us out as much as each individual could...our common sense and opportunity passing by as we sell ourselves for comfort. OUr foundation is sliding and yet we are transfixed like deer in the headlights- you cant wear that w pride. WHy not turn off the volume its all a a bunch of lies..... |
