I have another question. You know how the liner notes of Oh No say what other musicians were on the songs and whatever? What in the heck does "The Mopeds—actors on "Invincible" or something like that mean?

You mean in the back of the cd booklet right? Where exactly? (like what line is it in?)

Uh, I can't really check because I've like totally avoided touching the pristine-ness of my CD, which is why I burnt myself a copy.

Um, okay, well I saw them mentioned in it, but not exactly what you said. I googled them and found this http://www.themopeds.com/

Thanks, but how exactly do they figure into Invincible?

In my booklet it says "The Space Odyssey Counting Gang on track 1 is The Mopeds"

Maybe that's the person who says "you gentlemen ready" ???

Ooooo two questions with one answer if it's right...

I'm just skimming over everything here so if anyone sees something is wrong with what I say, please correct me.

I saw the mention of Sven Anderson (who is on the website I posted before) doing the saxophone for tracks 4 and 8.
I saw this about Invincible "The Space Odyssey Counting Gang on track 1 is the Mopeds"
And some of the names here: http://www.themopeds.com/html/bio.html are mentioned in the booklet.

Courtneytastic

But why? And what is The Space Odyssey Counting Gang?

Sven Anderson is quite a Swedish sounding name. They're probably working with Tore as well or something....

I must say, Electra, I love your signature.

Heres his biography type thing on the site:
"Sven Andersson

The best saxophone player in Sweden, all categories. Also the most good looking. Spend most of his life on the road or in a club near you. Swedish press have treated him as a member of the mopeds since 1997 and now it's finally happening."

Thank you
He was telling a few of us about working in a gay bar in Soho...
Lol. He does a very good camp impression. Much fluttering of eyelashes, blushing etc

So dyu reckon Sven or whoever it is is the guy who says "you gentlemen ready"? I'm thinking that's kinda like counting them in... hence the counting gang thingy.

Maybe I'm clutching at straws.

Please tell me it wasn't the kind job I'm thinking of.

target35ghost

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh that made me laugh
Come to think of it, I don't think he ever mentioned what he actually did.
Interesting.

I think the implication was that he worked on the bar. But I could be wrong.

I suppose it's possible. Maybe Mr. Mr. Mr. Jorge, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore, Whom I Adore or someone will be kind enought to tell us, or maybe someone should ask at their next show...?

Electra: I hope so. Plus (I'm sorry, Damian), with that body? I don't think so.
