Just wish they'd been a wearable colour - I never did like the weird light brown they went with...

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

You've just got to find the right clothes to wear with it. Just don't try to wear the u/w socks with the u/w shoes. Blech!

How bout it Danielle? Some nice dirty forum brown-style socks!

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

What year did the Tomato/Underworld Adidas come out? I just realized that the music in the commercials Tomato did is "Soopher", several years before we heard in on the radio show. You can watch the commercials on Tomato's website:

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

I remember once maybe a few months back on UWlive.com karl mantioning how a bunch of new addidas had come through the letter box.. something like that...

so i just presumed they got stuff free.. i wouldnt see why not to be honest.. they probably get payed to do it too, like sports players or something..

but i cant imagine the lads being so tied up in something... they arnt decked out in Addidas from head to toe...

..but id say there is a bit of "give-a-little, get-a-little" going on

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

I have a pair that I've worn 3 times. Twice indoor to break in a little and once "out & about" when I wanted to feel super cool ;)

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

wait - what track is "Soopher" again...?

to me those commercials sound like different edits of "050701 (music bank june 01).mov"

and the fourth commercial (where the pic shows the back of the shoe w/ red light) sounds EXACTLY like the music bank track at 1:49 into the video

I always thought that it went like: Music Bank track -> Biro -> Mo Move -> (back to) Biro -> Beautiful Burnout

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

Yup, you're right, that's "Soopher" in 050701. I haven't watched all those old movie clips yet. "Soopher" opened up the 2008-06-11 radio show.

I think it's a little erroneous for us to draw conclusions about song evolutions based on a few common elements. Obviously Soopher and Mo Move share a common opening, but beyond that, the structures and sounds of the songs are so different, I don't think they share any evolutionary path except for that common loop. Same thing for the drums in Mo Move and Beautiful Burnout. It's similar sounding, but not even the same rhythm, so I don't think there's any influence beyond Rick liking those drums.

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

You on an eBay round tour, Raj? ;)

My monitoring suggests that those miniatures emerged a few months ago. Haven't yet dared to risk money on them. To me, they look like cheap merchandise bootleg plastic rubbish. Does anybody on here have these?

Re: Underworld and Adidas
 

yeah, you never know what comes
up when you type 'underworld' ...

well for that price, it's pretty cheap,
and waiting for them to come to the US
from China might be a pain..

NOW ALL WE NEED are some KARL+RICK Action
figures!!!! (kinda like the beastie boys have)... and then
we can have minature glitter shirts, glasses, and of course
the famous guitar with words as toy accessories... for the
touring versions..
