Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Sep 01 2012 07:01 PM El Ray - is it really a misspelling of El Rey? I figured it was a reference to El Ray of the Sun, or el raygun or maybe los raybans, not el ray de tablistas (de recuerdo inmortal Doltonense y Trashmeniaco). Top
IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Sep 01 2012 07:05 PM Tuck, they're named after a Satan's Pilgrims track (from their debut album) - see below. Maybe Ted can tell us the source of the name, but I always thought it was just a joke take-off on El Rey. — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top
Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Sep 01 2012 08:21 PM Should have got that! It's a terrible thing when you have to remember the names of songs without the help of the lyrics, um, Ivan. Top
mom_surfing Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 5294 the outer banks of north carolina	Posted on Sep 01 2012 08:22 PM we were told by the band that 'el ray' was written on a box of oranges — www.surfintheeye.com Top
IvanP Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 10331 southern Michigan	Posted on Sep 01 2012 08:38 PM Really? They actually covered SP's El Ray early on, so I figured that must be the tie-in. Oh well... — Ivan Lords of Atlantis on Facebook The Madeira Official Website The Madeira on Facebook The Blair-Pongracic Band on Facebook The Space Cossacks on Facebook The Madeira Channel on YouTube Top
bigtikidude Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 25530 Anaheim(So.Cal.)U.S.A.	Posted on Sep 01 2012 08:41 PM I didn't hear the line about the Orange Crates. I heard that El Ray, is like The Ray ( as in the guy named Ray) I also have a feeling that many of the stories about El Ray, are made up on the spot by Jesper, and fit whatever mood hes in at the moment. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Last edited: Oct 03, 2012 02:01:11 Top

Posted on Sep 01 2012 08:43 PM Tuck wrote: The problem some folks are having with Ivan's link (thanks for posting it Ivan!) is that it's for a Facebook internal index page of my albums. If you have a Facebook account and you are logged in you can see it no problem, though I think the order of the albums will be in whatever crazy state Facebook left it the last time I fiddled with albums. Here is a set of direct links to albums for SG101 and associated events. These should work for everyone.

But I think in a weird twisted way, you kinda like getting lost. — Jeff(bigtikidude) Top
Tuck Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 3166 Denver, CO	Posted on Sep 01 2012 09:25 PM Everybody's lost in LA. Isn't there a song about that? Thanks! I will keep that in mind. Until recently I didn't have a cellphone. I still forget you can reach out and get unlost with it. I think of it as something that goes off suddenly in your pocket when you are trying to do something else. My daughters are trying to teach me to use the GPS thing in it. "Turn left in 100 feet. No, no! Left, you idiot, left! Gaah! ... Oh, sorry, I thought we were on the frontage road." Last edited: Sep 01, 2012 21:30:49 Top

I actually came from Westminster via Huntington Beach where there's a Middle Eastern restaurant I've eaten in before, and I tried to come up the PCH via Long Beach, but, no, it's not a particularly great shortcut. It's more like getting lost trying to connect with the 605. If I'm going to get lost I like to do it in a neighborhood full of warehouses, parked semis, and seedy bars. In my shortcut's favor it is faster than having a flat tire. Top

It's Swahili for "crocodile," from the Arabic "ir ray" a "crock of something or other, maybe cheese." Top

When we talked about starting the band, El Firetone, presented the name and we loved it. The Satan's Pilgrims cover came right after. Amazing song by the Pilgrims.
