Saga of Buquebus Discussion
« on: April 06, 2006, 05:50:49 pm »
With the introduction of some narrative @ FFVII (see below) the saga seems to be growing.
Tim is letting more and more out YEA!!  
There are some songs that are def. a part of the Saga and some that seem as if they may be linked somehow.
So I felt a discussion should be started.

Narrative introduced @ FFVII

Episode I
Happy

Space City is happy. Buquebus and Gladys Pimp have freed the planet from
King Folix\'s oppression. By putting Black Domino in the Breakfast processor,
they opened everyone\'s mind to think and act for themselves.

The people rapidly overthrow the Royal Extremists and discover the king has
killed himself in fear of upheaval. But Mooboo escapes, maintains her
anonymity, and takes the remaining Royal Extremists to the badlands of
Abrasia.

Meanwhile, Space City celebrates the revival of freedom, art, and love.

Episode II
Mooboo\'s Voodoo

Buquebus and Gladys have settled into their life in Honalee, though his itch
persists. Gladys knows Buquebus must fulfill his destiny and lets him go.

Buquebus travels for two years and stumbles upon Abrasia, oblivious to
Mooboo\'s Grand Scheme for revenge on Space City. With her desirable beauty
and evil mojo, Mooboo sets the trap and seduces Buquebus.

Sadly, the Voodoo consumes his energy and Buquebus becomes Mooboo\'s
slave. His weak spirit cries for help, but solace is found in her lust.

Episode III
Awakening

Buquebus is in constant inner struggle. His glow has been suppressed from
satisfying Mooboo\'s sexual thirst over the past year. His life force alerts him
to break free now or be destroyed.

Buquebus plans his escape. He must slip away unnoticed from Mooboo and the
Royal Extremists, leave Abrasia, and regain his individuality. Mooboo senses
his emancipation and prepares her coup de grace.

Buquebus wakes in the middle of the night to finish the battle between his
soul and the intoxicating Voodoo.

Songs confirmed to be in the Saga
Episodes 1-3
Buquebus
Gladys
Son of Simpleton
Late and the Great
Grand Scheme of Things
A New Beginning

Songs that mention parts of the Saga thus are most likely in also
Overexposure(Gladys mention)
Surreal Radio(Space City is mine....)

Songs that may be a part of the Saga due to either lyrics or feeling.
Psygn( May be Buquebus singing the lyrics?)
The Chase(May be Buquebus singing?)
TFA(Is Buquebus the one wondering if he\'s on the otherside?)
SCA(Interlude of some type?)
WUIAC(Interlude)

So any other songs anyone can think of?
Am I off on any of the ones I mentioned?
Anyone know an order for the songs?
Anyone Care?

Thanx I\'ll look there
SOS is? I thought so Is it confirmed by Tim?
and Late....  really? OK I can see that but I also see that song as an ode to the past musicians we have lost. Can U get a confirmation from Tim? PLS?
I put in SCA as a type of interlude

Quote
SON OF SIMPLETON

Hey have you heard of a Simpleton?
Have you heard of him, name is Simpleton, oohooh
He had a son his name Ekkatin
Son of Simpleton, named him Ekkatin, oohooh
He was an eccentric little kid
Eccentric that he was, quite a different touch, oohooh
Blubta was one of his favorite toys
Blubta that he did, did it as a kid, oohooh
At two he scribble blubtonian
Scribbled it right, down on the ground, oohooh
Magical with painting and he painted wind
Painted wind and sound, sun and all the clouds, oohooh

It\'s so nice
To see a little kid, creative as he is
He\'s a son
Son of Simpleton, Son of Simpleton

When he grew up, he jumped out of his painting


I beleive Ekkatin is Buquebus\' son. Possibly w/ Mooboo

It\'ll probably be way better than the Timmy Tucker Rock Opera, although, for comic appeal, thats always fun.

Hot Air Balloon is as good as it gets for jamband Sagas though.

1: PBB, I\'d say def not

2: why is it whenever a "jamband" wirtes a "rock opera" it always gets the inevitable Gamehendge comparison, like they\'re trying to be like Phish or something.  Why not make a Tommy comparison, just my humble opinion

Because I went to lots of Phish shows and was never really into The Who :D

I don\'t think one has to be better than the other. Gamehenge is a beautiful journey with a lot of history and is obviously something that has a lot of importance/memories/whatever for a lot of people. Maybe 20 years down the road I\'ll have an opinion about which is "Better"

....

By the way, I never call Breakfast a "jam band". I call them a funky-ass shreddin rock band that jams the shit out of their ragin\' songs.

...

Also, I thought Mooboo was a chick... only I just decided that a few weeks ago hehe

i dont mean to sound like a dick, and im a huge breakfast fan, but does anyone else find this whole "saga" thing totally rediculous?  like i understand gamehenge was for fun etc. and that was its own thing, but i cant help but think that this "saga" from the breakfast seems a bit unoriginal...again dont mean to sound rude or patronizing but its how i view it

Well it is the Grand Scheme of Things not a grand scheme. I do not think it is in the Saga.

Nope not ridiculous @ all.
 Tim is just another in a long long fucking long line of storytellers that happen to be musicians also. Many of these people have peculiar stories they like to tell. Some can be encompassed in a song or maybe 2. In this case it is many songs linked in theme and lyrically.
May seem unoriginal but then you would be just looking @ the surface.

Besides it has never been an Official Breakfast vehicle. It is Tim\'s creation which he has been kind enough to share with us. You should feel lucky as a Breakfast fan.

hahah, i do feel lucky as a breakfast fan...i just see this "buquebus saga" using fictional animals and creatures as too similar to trey\'s story.  thats not to say that the music involved with this saga isnt great...i just think this idea of a saga or more loosely a "rock opera" has been used a little too often as of late.  i get hes a story teller, but when a fair amount of the tunes come from this [epic] story i can\'t help but think that without gamehenge..the idea for this would never have come up.  im in no way against originality or story telling through music, just the way this is organized with the songs telling this elaborate almost hidden story of creatures in far off lands..and everyone trying to figure out what it all means...i just see it as corny...at some point you have to just say "its great fucking music" and thats it...

Whatever, you obviously do not know much music history and the idea of stories and "concept albums" If you really think it is influenced by Trey you really do not understand the influences of Tim.

Yeah Zappa never had a concept album huh?

Oh and as for thinking it is a recent trend try looking up Jefferson Airplane\'s Blow to the Empire, Coltrane\'s A Love Supreme or how about Hendrix\'s Axis:Bold as Love.

Just an inkling of the full albums dedicated to a single theme or story.
