They could at least just let us just watch the game and stop yapping about who's left to play. Joe Buck is terrible. He even said a week or so ago that he doesn't even watch baseball when he's not working.

I WORSHIP this thread, and already fear I might run it in the ground. I woke up and listened to The Love Below, which one of the neighbor kids gave me when he was throwing out a bunch of stuff.

I am about three years and 350 discs behind between purchasing and listening, but I always move gifts to the head of the line, and this year I made out like a bandit. My wife suggested to people that they buy me discs hearkening back to my youth, so I was thrilled and surprised to receive The Ramones (first disc), The Stooges Raw Power, Velvet Underground Loaded, Lou Reed Berlin, Joni Mitchell Blue, The Jam All Mod Cons, and Clapton 461 Ocean Blvd, none of which I have ever owned. Plus I got new stuff, one of my best bros (don't judge) put together a 5 disc set of songs and bands that he thinks are my faves that he called Exile On Old Street, and I also got new stuff, including the latest discs from Death Cab For Cutie, Ron Sexsmith, My Morning Jacket, The Raconteurs, Elbow, and Sigur Ros. For the icing on the cake, one of my best friends gave me "Same Old Man" by John Hiatt.

I can almost hear Tom saying "So all of your friends hate you?"

I've always thought it would be funny if we lived in a world where a batter would go out to bat and the entire 15-hour Ring Cycle played-- but that no one really saw this as out of place.

I haven't really *always* thought that.  First off, I haven't *always* been alive.  It is a thought that I had a few years ago, though.

I'm listening to me laughing at that image.

It's dorky, but I've always wanted to "do the Ring-Cycle." It's sounds just beautiful, and quite honestly I'm just as interested in the opera as the spectacle of the ring-cycle devotees.

Back in 1983, I saw Richard (oh you probably know him as "Goose" Gossage) trot out to the mound to the strains of Liquid Liquid's "Optimo."  I did a little dance in my seat, and then my mom got mad because I spilled sodey on my pants.  I was surprised ESPN did not include a clip of this in their Yankee Stadium montage during Monday night's HR Derby.

I woke up and listened to The Love Below, which one of the neighbor kids gave me when he was throwing out a bunch of stuff.

dave, you just made me remember something i had almost forgotten! when i was living in austin, i had an upstairs neighbor with whom i'd never actually talked, but we had a very pleasant relationship. we had almost the exact same music taste and so sometimes, when he was playing an album so loudly that it would have been pointless for me to put in my own music to drown him out, i'd put on the exact same album and sync it up with his. after the third time that i did this, he started doing it, too. we probably listened to two or three dozen albums "together" over the course of six months, but we never talked.

anyway, one day i came out of my apartment and there was a giant stack (100?) of CDs sitting on my plant stand. when i came home from work, it was still there. so i put a post-in note on them saying: "do you want these?"

when i got home from the bar that night, they were still there. so i brought them inside and went through them, and they were almost exclusively one hit wonder bands from 1992-96. i knew it was from my friend upstairs, and he was cleaning out his collection and thought i might want to hear some candlebox or soundgarden before he threw them out. i wrote a post-it note that said: "high school. thanks!" and left it where the CDs had been.



i am listening to ming tsai talk about five spice and chocolate, and then i'm going to listen to aden while i work.

You got this exactly right, MOP. I used to assist on shifts on the local college radio station, and I specifically remember that every person that worked there practically worshipped U2 until Sunday Bloody Sunday started playing on MTV, and overnight they became pariahs. We had an advance copy of The Cars debut, it was a big office favorite.....until it got released and they immediately started playing "My Best Friend's Girl" on the local commercial rock station. REM, same story. In my opinion, it's one type of bad thing to like something because all of the tattooed and pierced people do, but it's at least as bad to dislike something because you saw some some hard hat grooving to it. Look to yourself to form your opinions, not to your environment. What are you, 14?

I wonder if "what would your music be as a hitter or as a closer in baseball?" would be one of those sports topics Tom could do without the non-sports fans rebelling.

I brought this up once during a Night On the Town and was accused of putting a "topic" on the "table."

It's a harder question than it looks, though, 'cause figure they'll only play a few seconds of it if you're a hitter, so what four seconds are going to get you the most ready to hit the crap out of a baseball?

I "I like their early work" gambit is one way to avoid blatantly changing the history of what you liked.  Unfortunately, very often a band's early work really is all that's good.

WOAH. I don't want to get too hopeful for this... but... I can't help it... that would be amazing!

There have been all kinds of "allusions" like this since 2001, but I'm not sure it'll happen.  I mean, I think Mangum will release more music, just not under the NMH name.

Until then, there are plenty of other amazing E6 bands to check out.  There is also the Neutral Milk Hotel reunion show bootleg from 2001 in New Zealand (http://false45th.blogspot.com/2007/09/neutral-milk-hotel-last-show.html), which is amazing and seems to be much too overlooked.

That song's great. I actually think the whole album is great. They've got the girl-group sound down pat. The one before is good also, except when the dude in the band sings. Then it just sounded like boring watered down Belle and Sebastian. I think they might have figured that out, and that's why only the chick sings on the newer one.

LOVE the Pastels, though I can kind of understand why other people wouldn't.  "Mobile Safari" is a great album from start to finish.  I even like the jazz-oriented and slightly pretentious "Illumination."

She's a singer in the praise band for a mega-church somewhere in Florida. She sings on 3 of the 16 songs, and her voice is a beautiful crystalline thing, like bells ringing, with very little affectation in her voice, and the production is phenomenally good for a local band, but almost everything else about the disc is is bad bad bad. I am trying to formulate a strategy to break it to her the next time I see her, which traditionally is at Christmastime. HOOO boy. In one of the songs, a nearly note for note Coldplay rip, the band sings the phrase "Your will is my will" 64 times, at which point the lamest possible rap breaks out.

Someone help me, please.

If it's produced really well, just compliment her/them on that. "it really SOUNDS good!".

you also don't have to say anything about it. were you specifically requested to do a critique? if that's the case, then make a list of strong point and weak points, with suggestion as to how maybe they could improve in those areas.

if they are a young band, they'll mature and get better as they continue working at it. Take a listen to the early Vessel recordings: yeah, you thought back in '78 that a 17-minute vocoder solo was genius, but time has proved otherwise.

You obviously think highly enough of her to compliment her very well without having to bring up the elements you do not care for at all.

I think that young, religious musical groups often find themselves torn between two worlds and it can often be difficult for them to reconcile those two worlds musically ~ particularly considering they also do not have a lot of experience making music even before the weighty social/religious aspects come into play.

Maybe give her a CD by someone like Danielson, Soupjam Stevens or David Bazan.  There's plenty of music that deals with Christian themes without falling victim to the CCM mentality - you know, "if you liked (band from 5 years ago), you'll like (its current inferior Christian equivilent)." But I don't think it necessarily hits the megachurches.

Bonnie played in a praise band, right?  Maybe she'll have something to say about this.

For what this is, I think this is pretty damn good. the production is top-notch, definitely. I actually think that the rap breakdown integrates pretty well into the song. don't get me wrong: it definitely sounds like Top-40 garbage, but that's what they are going for, right?

wow. I just did a search for "christian indie rock" and there is a TON out there (why wouldn't there be?). This band Leeland (http://www.myspace.com/leelandmusic) is actually pretty rockin' (granted they do have a fake Gib Benson AND the kid from Superbad in the band - talk about cred!)

but I love all the little dark holes in your
BODY BAG.
Your little willie, he's oh, so pretty,
And those titties, and those titties in the
BODY BAG.

Nobody knows you and nobody wants to.

Willie's poised to dive into flesh,
Something teils me he will leave a mess in the
BODY BAG.
When we kiss my eyes am closed,
my lips are full, I breathe through my nose in the
BODY BAG.

Nobody knows you and nobody wants to.

See the children play in the mud,
moulding balls of faces and blood from the
BODY BAG.
All preise for corporal flesh;
the smell of love the smell of death from the
BODY BAG..

Well, it's technically a cover of the Curtis Mayfield song Kung Fu, but it's more like the words to that song set to the music of Bela Lugosi's Dead.

I'll have to dig up the Curtis Mayfield.  I have to say I don't really hear the "Bela Lugosi's Dead" connection, but I could never hear the "Smells Like Teen Spirit"/"More Than A Feeling" connection either.

Right now, Gnarls Barkley, "Some Time Soon."

Daily rotation for this shitty station includes Mambo #5, Walking on the Sun, (I just want to) Fly, and the absolute worst "of the 70's, 80's, 90's and today"

But I drop my guns and bring the bouquet
On and on from dusk 'til dawn

Oh oh oh

We can dance all night with the bourgeoisie
Oh oh, oh oh
Lay your love on me
Take a chance on me, take the liberty
Oh oh, oh oh "

Jesus in the mornin'
Jesus in evenin'
Jesus at suppertime

And then this part I'm not sure about, but I think he sings, "When you have Jesus on a cross, you can have Jesus anytime."

Edit: I just listened to the version on mySpace and sussed out the correct lyrics: "When you nail Jesus to the fuckin' cross, you got Jesus all the time." No, they didn't cuss on the version they performed on Pat Duncan's show.

They're definitely broken up, but (as far as I know) there was never an official announcement or point where it definitively happened- they just dropped off the last tour for unrelated reasons and never did anything again. Of course, I hardly have the inside scoop on that.

They're Sonys. Big ones that cover my whole ears, not ear buds. I can't really imagine needing them too much except in this very situation, when I want to listen to one thing and still feel free to move about my home, and everyone else wants to listen to something different. They're pretty okay. Little bit of feedback though.

I can imagine that someday i'll be able to leave my ipod at home, put on tiny, long-range wireless headphones, and mentally shuffle the tracks while I walk around. Am I looking forward to that day? Still not sure.

I had a similar experience with My Bloody Valentine. Lots of my "friends" (I say "friends" because most of them were not such nice people, but for some reason, I hung out with them) in high school were what might be called "shoegazers" and they loved that album.  I never got it.  It wasn't until my freshman year of college that I was riding with friends in a car on some Connecticut back roads (there may or may not have been a "crippler" involved-ahem) and I looked out at the afternoon sun and realized "holy crap, this is so beautiful." I spent months obsessed with that album after that. It just clicked one day.

I don't remember where it was, but that sounds about right.  I'm sure that plenty of gross debauchery took place in that room, but it was the potential for mortal danger that really concerned me.  It was the sort of room where you feel like Anton Chigurh is about to bust in any second (and No Country for Old Men hadn't even come out yet).

They're a rock & roll band from Richmond, VA. I love them more than almost anything currently going. I posted a song by them in the "Post one awesome song" thread if you want to hear what they sound like. The song I mentioned here, which is about a break-up, has the following chorus:

Joanne, Joanne
I feel just like the Soviet Union
Do you feel like Afghanistan?

I'm listening to this now and I didn't believe he was real until I checked out his website. He reminds me of the humor coach in Borat.

Quote
Beck has been involved in Scientology for most of his life; his wife is also a second-generation Scientologist. Marissa and her twin brother, Giovanni, were delivered by Beck's mother, Bibbe.[62] Beck publicly acknowledged his affiliation with the controversial Church of Scientology for the first time in an interview published in the New York Times Magazine on March 6, 2005. Further confirmation came in an interview with the Irish Sunday Tribune's i Magazine on June 11, 2005, where he was quoted as saying, "Yeah, I'm a Scientologist. My father has been a Scientologist for about 35 years, so I grew up in and around it."

I know the history, but I'm basing my official "embracing" point on the release of Sea Change, where, although he had always been around scientology, he finally dumped his non-scientologist girlfriend via scientologist intervention, made a crappy, over-produced soft-rock album, and jumped the shark whilst inadvertently(?) sending album-cover-designer Jeremy Blake into a paranoid downward spiral that resulted in a crazy-ass double-suicide, then went on tour with the Flaming Lips and got totally upstaged by them.

News to me, very interesting. I saw him a couple of times, good shows and all but I don't own his records or anything. I thought that tune where the percussion section was a bunch of dudes jamming on cutlery was pretty good though.

Beck is one of those musicians whose fucked up personal life has actually never managed to affect or interfere with my enjoyment of his music in any way, shape or form. Clearly I am just the outlier here.

Anyway. Right now, I am listening to Hawksley Workman's "You, Me and the Weather" and also a whole bunch of cats yowling outside the window.

I saw that cutlery/glassware percussion thing live and it was pretty impressive.  I also liked that it was a funny bit of stagecraft, with the backing band "taking a dinner break" on stage. 

I'm fairly ambivalent about Beck.  It's hard to get excited about him anymore, but that might just be because of the high degree of output.  I liked that album "Guero" a lot, but wasn't crazy about "Sea Change" or "The Information."  And while I like the idea of him working with Danger Mouse, I feel like he's biting on the whole garage/psychedelia revival thing that Terre T (among others) has been championing.

And, in the time it's taken me to write this: Lil' Wayne, "You Cant (Remix)" -> The Tokeleys, "Jonathan Tokeley Parry" -> Lou Reed, "I'm So Free."

I agree with you about the high degree of output, but that's kinda why I prefer albums like Sea Change and Mutations.  They (for the most part) hold back from the usual "garbage-can-face-chewin-on-a-lightbulb" type lyrics, which are at first cool, but after 5 or 6 albums of that, anything which take on a slower, more melodic feeling is in my mind a refreshing break. Granted, he blatantly ripped off Serge Gainsbourg's "Melody" for the song "Paper Tiger" but I'd still rather listen to Sea Change than most other Beck albums these days.

If I hadn't already burnt my discs, I would've included them. Someone else should. I think I put some Spacemen 3 on mine though.  Almost a better band to start with, so that the progression from noisy drone to gospel elements makes sense.

I'm from CT (and [culturally] Jewish), so I consider it my personal right to complain about Lieberman as much as possible. If there was a Lieberman/Lamont rematch anytime in the past year there's no question how it would go. He's sort of a friend of a friend of a friend (the last friend being his ex-wife, but supposedly they're in touch) and everyone says he's just grabbing as much power as he can at this point.

Oh, and I'm currently listening to shitty music probably coming from the upperclassman dorm next to mine. At least they're not having a loud dormwide meeting underneath my window again.

He actually makes a crack about that, and he doesn't talk much, saying something like "Look, it's an acoustic guitar, but I can plug it in." I'm not exactly rushing to the store to pick up his new record, but he was less one-note than the Wallflowers stuff had led me to believe.

Genius is occasionally cool (for example, when I tried it with a New Bomb Turks song I got a mix that included Redd Kross, Richard Hell, Van Halen, and Rage Against The Machine), but for me the whole point of shuffles and mixes is variety - most of the time it just spits up 25 songs from the same general category (for example, every time I try it with GBV I get a totally predictable list of Pavement, Sonic Youth, and YLT songs - all stuff I like, but no real variety).

Right now, I'm in Milwaukee, listening to the most recent archive of WFMU's Night People and wondering whether to go wander around by myself.  Totep and that other fella, PM me quick if you're around!

I was surprised when Genius did a really really good transition (quiet song, quiet then loud song, loud song), but it may have just been a coincidence.

Genius seems to mostly pick out popular/well-liked songs, which is a good way for me to re-listen to stuff I may have overlooked that I already have.

But yeah, it's no Pandora.  Which sadly may not be long for this earth.  It would sure be nice if Apple or Amazon or someone floated some cash to Pandora, Muxtape, and the other cool-but-can't-afford royalties services which must in some way increase sales.  Ah well.

I love Pandora because it seems to be a good mix of actual people classifying and categorizing music, and machines doing their number crunching thing.

It's not another 'throw a crudload of people's music collections at some algorithm' thing.

But as you said, too bad the plug's probly gonna get pulled.

Hi Dave,

The Genius (shudder) feature is part of the new version of iTunes, iTunes 8.0.  So it's part of that software as opposed to being a new iPod feature.  You can use it to generate playlists, which, if you like them, you can send to your iPod.

Is that a real song?  I never knew what that was until an English friend explained it to me w/r/t the fat guy in the British Office.  That shit has disco fries totally beat in the disgusting olympics.

And, just to keep the game going, The Roots, "Lazy Afternoon."

Hah, sadly the 'Scotch Egg' is just a 'wacky' add-on. I don't like eggs but scotch eggs in general aren't too bad, it's just like sausage and eggs with buttery toast in one handy ball.

And who's Von Lmo when he's at home?). Oof, and a second consecutive week for Blood Brothers. Sick.

Yeah, that's how I saw them.  They only played around 30min. and the crowd was pretty thin but Mick won over everyone right off the bat.

I think TV on the Radio is one of the better live acts right now, although the sound last night wasn't the greatest.  I was pretty surprised by the audience this time; when I saw them 2 years ago it was the typical indie crowd but last night there were a lot more frat guys/old rock dudes.

WFMU's new podcast Tale of the Twelve. It's really good! Lots of obscure ambient and techno, mostly early-to-mid 90s stuff. Only two episodes, so far, but I like it.

It's probably not fair to judge an album based on low-quality .mp3s, but I I agree with Dan B.  I've only listened to it all the way through once so far, but so far it's great.  I am a huge fan of the band, though.

Your list didn't surprise me until I got to Coil.

For traditional American death metal, you can do better than Cannibal Corpse.  I always found their stuff fairly uninspired ~ more a symbol of everthing that was wrong with the genre than anything.  Was always partial to Obituary (http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/10/31/2167766/Obituary%20-%20The%20Best%20Of%20Obituary%20-%2007%20-%20The%20End%20Complete.mp3), personally ~ for their mid-tempo doom grooves and that wicked sounding guitar chord.  (audio link)

Upgrade everything but Oranges & Lemons. That gets my vote for the biggest disparity between what an album's cover promised me the album would sound like and what the album actually sounded like. I still like a few songs on it, especially The Loving, but I really hate how the whole thing is produced.

It's my favorite. Skeleton Steps Out, Chalkhills and Children? These are incredible. Also, one of the greatest bass guitar albums of all time. The first six or seven songs are amazing examples of McCartney-style bass melodicism (is that a word?)

Doug Benson's I Love Movies podcast from Jan 26th. It's a funny one.

Why does he say 'Willem Dafoe is a douchebag?' or whatever at the end of every podcast?  I missed the first one.

I don't remember. I think it started off as a riff on the absurdity of him calling Carole Lombard (or Barbara Stanwyck, etc.) a shithead, and evolved from there.

Every XTC song I have in a mega-playlist.  Surprisingly few duds.  Don't get me wrong, I love them, but I've always considered their post-Terry Chambers output to be a mixed bag.  It's all sounding pretty good now, though - might be time for a reevaluation.

Upgrade everything but Oranges & Lemons. That gets my vote for the biggest disparity between what an album's cover promised me the album would sound like and what the album actually sounded like. I still like a few songs on it, especially The Loving, but I really hate how the whole thing is produced.

Wes is right, I think.  The songwriting seems up to par, but the sound of it all is sorta unpleasant.  It's really fake-sounding - the drum sounds drive me bonkers.

I work in the state Capitol a couple of days a week. Random, strange events take place here.  Right now, a high school chorus is doing a jazzy little number in the hallway.  The boys are providing a bassy "hmmmmmm" undertone to the celebratory girl's singing.

Wait, right now it took a decidedly Schoenbergian tone.  No wait, it resolved.  Phew.

It's not so much that I didnt like it, I was just shocked by its brevity (26mins?) and lack of finished songs. Obviously, this was a first lesson, and I will give more listens soon. I did listen to 20/20 this week and loved that. Smiley Smile I'm not a fan of. Wild Honey needs more attention too.

I am listening to the new Voss album Moodswinging Volume 2.  He's a local rapper in West Chester.  It's really good and a big improvement on his old albums.

I found an old Hendrix record someone gave me for free a while back

I never listened to it, so I put it on for a spin. Turns out it's some first pressing. I don't think it's worth a lot, but it's still a collector's item so that's cool

Neil Young - Fork in the Road

It's Neil in loud/fast/sloppy mode. Sounds a little thrown-together, but it has company in his discography. Not his best and not in my top 10 Neil albums, but there is some good stuff to be had. The song Johnny Magic is pretty great.

Keep in mind I probably wouldn't have purchased this at all (or at least until I found it used) if Best Buy hadn't had the CD/DVD version on sale for $10.

Thanks to Clay Pigeon for showing me that Grand Funk Railroad actually aren't terrible.

Hell, I could have told you this in 1971 as a clueless 13-year-old, but I bet you wouldn't have listened. T.N.U.C. could be a topic of discussion on the Mike show, and it's an instrumental.

I'll listen.  What else was clueless 13-year-old Dave from Knoxville listening to? 

My initial problem with GFR was that my parents only ever listened E Pluribus Funk and I grew to loathe that album.

Ahhh, it was all the nearly standard stuff, really. I loved Led Zeppelin, The Who, I sorta liked the Stones but I was a little afraid of them, although, strangely, I had no problem with Alice Cooper (to this day I can still play 7 or 8 of the songs on "Love it to Death" on guitar from memory.) I had not found Bowie yet, or T Rex, but I did like Rod Stewart at the time (Every Picture Tells a Story,) and Jethro Tull and Black Sabbath and Yes and Faces, ELP, Santana. I was absolutely obsessed with Blue Oyster Cult (I wore out 2 copies of the debut album, and can't begin to guess how many times I listened to the later Agents of Fortune straight through.) Badfinger. Deep Purple. Zappa. Always lots and lots of Zappa, though I really liked the instrumental bits much more than the vocal silliness, at least until Apostrophe, which is nearly a perfect album. Oh, and Creedence and the Beatles practically everyday.

I just listened to this about a dozen times 4 or 5 weeks ago. I love the lyrics.

Now I am up to Mojo magazine's first of 2 cover discs of the Beatle's "white album". The corresponding Revolver was not so hot. I am just starting this, but I am a little worried.

Different strokes on Ryan Adams. His Cold Roses album is exceptional. I think you could play a similar game with almost any album and any artist, even beloved ones. I can't hear Ted Leo without thinking of Phil Lynott; doesn't disqualify TL for my affection.

I think the key to that segment is the title of it. I would still LOVE to hear Tom spend 5-8 minutes online with the overwhelmingly creepy "music" of Harry Shearer, especially, say, Songs of the Bushmen. Tom's discomfort would be heavenly, I can assure you.

I happen to concur with Tom's opinion on Tom Waits. His music, particularly that run of albums from 1983-1987, is nothing more than warmed over Captain Beefheart, and it's a poor imitation at that.

My first mix of Terry Adams Crazy Trio Live at Skipper's Smokehouse.

I captured about forty (decent quality) minutes of a ninety minute show.

First time I ever tried being a taper/CDer.  Time consuming.

Right this second I am hearing a very playful version of "On The Sunny Side Of The Street".

the 2006-2009 Lazy Magnet box set-- I found out about him through WFMU's On the Download page, and he's pretty incredible. Totally weird stuff that a lot of people won't like at all, but it just really strikes a chord with me for some reason. If you see a copy of "Is Music Even Good?" somewhere, grab it. It's his first (and only?) "proper" album, but it's brilliantly fucked up and bizarre.

A little over a year ago, Jeffry Lewis and his band crashed at my house after they opened for the Mountain Goats in Eugene. I had never met them before nor did I know much about them but I talked to them for a bit at the merch table before the show and again afterward. They said they were looking for a place to crash and they asked if we had floor space. I told them we do but that we lived an hour south of Eugene. They said they were heading south anyway so they came down and stayed. Regardless of what anyone thinks of his music (which I like) I just wanted to say that they were all so incredibly nice. Just top notch.

I had Jeff take this photo of me and his band:

It's actually my first time listening to it and I've listened to it two times through already. It's pleasant, jazz-tinged pop. Musically and lyrically sophisticated. The lead singer sounds a bit like Glenn Tillbrook of Squeeze.

Squeeze is also great. I love the reedy timbre of Tilbrook's voice. Argy Bargy's red hot, and I even like the East Side Story stuff.

I went out yesterday and spent a lot of money I don't have (yet; I got my summer school assignment yesterday, and it's a cash bonanza.) I got the latest Lindsay Buckingham, a Big Star best of, the latest Annuals, Ruth's Anorak, and Modern Skirts' Catalogue of Generous Men. I won't listen to them for months, but the buying felt good. Plus, I got the whole group for just $48 at my local heaven CD shop, the Disc Exchange.

Right now I am listening to All Songs Considered's recap of SXSW. I love that Carrie Brownstein, despite being in the punky Sleater-Kinney, comes across as such a girl.

I'm trying to like it folks. I really am.  But so far, it is not holding a candle to "The Body, The Blood, The Machine."

I saw these cats live a couple of weeks ago, they were so good.  It made me like this album.  Check em out live.

The album cover also reminds me of the Beta Band's least good album.

I felt the same way until I saw them play live a couple of weeks ago.  Check them out if you can.

Post by: nec13 on May 28, 2009, 07:47:43 PM
As I see it, the problem with Big Black is twofold. First, everything from the music to the lyrics sounds contrived. Secondly, if it's abrasiveness and unpleasant aesthetics they're going for, they fail miserably on both counts. I've heard old free jazz records from the 1960's that are far more abrasive and unpleasant sounding than anything Big Black ever recorded. Some people say they like Big Black because they offer a unique insight into the ethos of Middle America. For me, it seems like Steve Albini is just trying to piss people off. I'm just not impressed by them.

Aside from a handful of good songs, they mostly suck.

Oh and now playing:

I think you summarize it pretty well. Plus the business with the drum machine.  How the F are you gonna rock without a human drummer? Might as well go home.

With Shellac, I bought one record and thought: cool, cardboard cover, cool, extra thick vinyl, cool, nice job recording that guitar and those drums. Then I listened to it I think twice.

Talking Heads, though, I do love them. Appreciate them more as I get older, in inverse rock band appreciation manner.

Hey Fredericks, are you still listening to that 89 cent Booker T. and The MG's record? I wish I could find a bargain like that.

Not today Regulator G a little cloudy.

BTW it cost $.79.

GoodWill and Starvation Army are great sources.

Couple a days ago at the Army I picked up a Mozart double album and an old Harry Belafonte on RCA Victor in "New Orthophonic High Fidelity"!

Both for $ .61 (there was a sale).
I felt guilty when I put the change from the dollar in my pocket.

Then I remembered my MG's record and I felt justified.

I'm little concerned about this Orthophonic High Fidelity though.

I've found some good LP's at Half Price Books and the like. Although, they're a little more pricey there. I would like to start collecting vinyl, but it's not cheap. The small collection that I do have is mostly culled from my parent's basement. I have found some good stuff, though. But I guess it's time to trudge through some local Goodwill stores and flea markets.

Thanks for the advice Fredericks. And good call on Tuesday night.

I've found some good LP's at Half Price Books and  like A basement.


Both are fine places. Goodwill cycles stuff through about once a week.  Every once in a while you hit a streak, probably because a music lover died, a dozen good records: clean with (relatively) crisp covers.  Lots of cheese which can be fun-in limited doses- Clay Pigeon knows how to work that stuff.  And, down here at least, freaky gospel albums which burn my fingers as I flip past them.

Talk to people -- I have had people give me stuff because I was interested in albums and to some folks they look like clutter-FOOLS.

When I was young I knew an older guy who was so smart he sold or gave away a several hundred record collection because he put all the music on a handful of reel to reel tapes.

Frequently he'd say something along the lines of "I had that record".  He rarely could find anything on those tapes.
Lesson: Labeling is essential.

Plus he sacrificed  the tactile pleasure of holding, reading, smelling an album cover.

Would Tom call this a weird tear??

Lots of artists most FOT don't care too much about, like Mr. De, Change, Thelma Houston, Rolando, Mulatu Astatke, Theo Parrish, Class Action, Ilija Rudman, Colonel Abrams, Lakeside and Evelyn 'Champagne' King. It's gonna be a lot of late-era disco, rare grooves, the odd 91-94 hiphop track, might even throw some chicha into the mix.

I work for a company that builds those annoying automated agents that you deal with when you call a company (you know, the ones where you scream "AGENT" to talk to a person). My job is to make them easier to use. I direct the voice talents, write the prompts, etc.

Right now, I am listening to recordings of people calling into one of our applications.  There is definitely some colorful turlet talk.

One of the more infamous call recordings: Our automated agent helps this guy get his cable TV working again. "She" asks at the end of the call, "Now did that solve the problem?"  The guy responded by saying: "Hmm! Thanks robot bitch!"

Right now, I am listening to recordings of people calling into one of our applications.  There is definitely some colorful turlet talk.

One of the more infamous call recordings: Our automated agent helps this guy get his cable TV working again. "She" asks at the end of the call, "Now did that solve the problem?"  The guy responded by saying: "Hmm! Thanks robot bitch!"

Agreeing with Scratchbomb, I too would love this.  If there are any FCC-friendly tracks, it would make for a good found audio radio play hour, along with some of Paul Stanley's stage banter and some other odds and ends I've been collecting.

Streaming on NPR. It's pretty good. Dave Longstreth's voice is a bit grating, though.

Who are they?

Which one's Dave?

The album is Bitte Orca by the band Dirty Projectors. Dave Longstreth is the band's lead singer and the two girls on the cover are two members of the band. They "reinterpreted" Damaged by Black Flag a few years ago.

No. But he did criticize Obama for using his middle name 'Hussein.' The reason being that he and other fellow right wingers, in his words, were criticized when they said the name Barack Hussein Obama during the campaign. Of course, what he failed to mention is that when the RW's used his full name, they intended 'Hussein' to be a pejorative.

Oh and he also said that Obama is no Ronald Reagan.

If I had the middle name 'Hussein', best believe I'd be using it all the time. Especially in the middle of my more English than bad teeth and horrible cuisine name. That would rock so much.

No need to apologize, TRG - I never listen to them as works on their own, just when they come up at random on the iPod.

His banter from Alive! and Alive II is the gold standard for StanleyBanter anyway.  I just find the collections amusing - it's good to hear Paul Stanley try to get Stockholm rocking between Neutral Milk Hotel tracks and Radiohead outtakes.

It's Ethiopian pop music. The album came out in 1986 and is a compilation of stuff he did in the late 1970's. According to Down Beat magazine, he "...sometimes evokes a Muslim James Brown."

It's pretty great, you should check it out Fredericks. They reissued the album as part of the Ethiopiques compilation series.

Check out Sharrock's "Ask The Ages" to hear the two of them reunited years later.  First time I ever did a radio show I played stuff off both those records.

I have a copy of Ask The Ages and it is indeed great. A lot of people only know Pharoah Sanders for the album, "Karma," but I think he made a few albums that were better. "Tauhid" is one of them. 'Upper Egypt and Lower Egypt,' in particular, is just fantastic.

As far as jazz guitarists go Sonny Sharrock, James Blood Ulmer, and Pete Cosey are all good.

There ought to be a copy of Ask The Ages in every home. Sonny Sharrock was a genius. It's a shame his life was cut short.

If you like Sonny Sharrock also check out some of these albums he appeared on:

"Eternal Rhythm" by Don Cherry
"Tauhid" by Pharoah Sanders
"Super Nova" by Wayne Shorter
"A Tribute to Jack Johnson" by Miles Davis (specifically the second track "Yesternow" where he's absolutely killer)
"Black Woman" by Sonny and Linda Sharrock
"Guitar" by Sonny Sharrock

They're all great albums.

Also, his work with Last Exit is good (depending on your tolerance for free jazz).

I've been listening to the band Fanfarlo quite a bit.  Their new album is just a dollar on their web site!  Excellent music, they're from London and have a similar sound to Sigur Ros.  The girl named Sigurros who that band is named after is actually on Fanfarlo's newest album cover.

I don't think he does anymore.  But we're not short of Momus' writings.  His blog and articles are generally very good. 

Message boards like ilx intimidate the heck out of me, but I do periodically scan it for people's "Best Albums" lists.  Maybe I should give it another go.

By the way, Momus is really uneven as a musician--he has a lot of duds mixed in with his occasional pop gems--but this album and Ocky Milk are really good.

Why thank you!  I have to admit I'm a dilettante.  I have a ton of Miles Davis mp3s, many of them from the 70s fusion period, but mostly I just grab interesting-looking records from the flea market (actually my wife found this one).  The other really great one we found is this, a few months ago:

Not a flea market find, but a recent download.  I just learned that she's the daughter of Don Cherry, is (or at least was) married to a member of The Pop Group, and was a backup singer and stage dancer for The Slits.  I remember in 1989, after 2-3 years of being a hardcore kid, I decided to just give in and bought the cassingle for "Buffalo Stance."  Little did I know that I was remaining a music snob!

It does have that late 80s-early 90s hip-hop overproduction thing going, but it's still pretty great.

The lead singer in "Run, Runaway."  The guy on the left.  He's apparently had a head start on the hard livin'.

Dave, I know you're sensitive to guys looking old, but you can't tell me that the guy on the left doesn't look way more than 3 years older than the guy on the right.

It looks like his grandfather went out and got a perm and wormed his way into the band photo.

Wasn't Mick Mars from Motley Crue in his 40s when the rest of them were in their 20s? Hiring an old guy is a rock and roll tradition (or, in the case of the Queers, having one old guy who was part of the original line-up).

this R.O.Manse album, on AST Records.

Anyone heard this? I put a song up on the blog (http://areyougenehackman.blogspot.com/2009/06/give-it-to-me-andrew-ridgeley.html).

I'm usually pretty wary of "comedy music", but this is pretty good.

Those guys opened for Dinosaur Jr., when I saw them, earlier this year.

I thought they had a powerful psychedelic, southern gothic feel.

Just a little creepy. I like that.

Still, ON FIRE is a pretty terrific record. The three-song run of "Snowstorm", "Strange" and "When Will You Come Home" is great, and I'm not ashamed to say I like their version of "Isn't It a Pity" more than EITHER of George Harrison's.

I like the inter-track interludes better than the actual songs. It does seem like a fluke, b/c the stuff they did before it wasn't so great, and then they spent longer than Axl Rose coming up with a follow-up.

Although both were considered shoegazer, I don't see much in common between Swervedriver and My Bloody Valentine. Swervedriver were a real rock band, definitely the most rock of that genre (especially if you're listening to Mezcal Head). MBV (or at least Loveless) is pretty much ambient music. Most of its thrills are textural.

I didn't like the album when I first heard it and would revisit it from time to time to make sure I hadn't missed something but would always walk away scratching my head. Then, for some reason, I played it again last summer and finally "got" it. Now I can't stop listening to it.

no matter what the album is, it's always a good feeling (for me) when this happens.

I listened to this 5 or 6 times about 5 or 6 weeks ago. As usual, I am old, and probably because of that I don't get it.

Loveless is pretty unapproachable if you're not already on board with My Bloody Valentine. (Except for When You Sleep, which is instantaneous (to me))

If you just HAVE TO get into My Bloody Valentine, their earlier record, Isn't Anything is a lot better.

This thing I made while desperately trying to teach myself sound editing so I can teach it tomorrow.  It came out pretty well!  I looped a 15-second bit of Steve Reich piano and put it underneath a recording of Anne Carson reading one of her poems, and then just played with the mix.  It actually took me longer to figure out that I didn't necessarily need to convert it to .mp3 than it did to actually make the thing.

Good call. The Woods might be my favorite of their albums. It has this real tight, together, feel to it. It sounds more like a complete package than their other ones. That and there's some blazing guitar work on it. Not trying to bad mouth their other records, bu The Woods is just that much better.

I am also pretty into these guys right now.  The live show is pretty different from the sound of the record, I think; I wonder if the next record will be more like they sound live or if they'll maintain that margin.  Either way, I'm in.

Yea, Ronnie Dawson was great as well.  I think Wayne Hancock poached Ronnie's guitar player after that.  At any rate, I didn't make it through the whole album (too much clarinet for crying out loud) so now I'm on to the the Hi-Fives.

It's all songs the cramps covered or were influenced by and it's 56 tracks for 12 credits. And you get great stuff like The Sparkles "Hipsville 29BC" which is one of the greatest garage recordings ever for my money.

That's a great deal Hugman, thanks.  They also have mega-comps like The Complete Stax/Volt Soul Singles, where I was getting them piecemeal -- just using my last 5 unused downloads or whatever and taking a year to get a single disc -- but now I'm going to take advantage of the 12 credits thing.  It's the only thing that makes eMusic worthwhile.

But do they really want 12 credits for an 8-song record?

it's a mix i made last night for a friend while i was scattered and moderately plastered on a bottle of wine consumed too quickly following a long day dealing with refugees and too-cute-for-words book-crazy kids. (insert commas and capitals and various whatnots where needed.)

(also, yes, i test mixes before passing them on to friends. this one's good so far in terms of flow and etc!)

Thats tough, both are high up on my list, GWS is much better produced, but Pod has songs on it that move my soul in mysterious ways, like demon sweat and dont sweat it.  Both albums come from an era of Ween that I dont think anyone could recreate and get away with it.

I'm partial to GWS but I agree that there are some gems on Pod. I like Sketches of Winkle and Dr. Rock a lot. I think that Pod has a better story behind it though with the scotch gaurd mask and all but Tick, Up on a Hill, LMLYP, plus chainsaw solo, Pink Floyd samples. GWS wins but not by much. Are you on the Ween forum? My friend keeps trying to get me to join, I've been avoiding it because I didn't want to put up with uber music snob... so I joined this forum instead.

You inspired me to listen to this.  Like many casual fans, I have Dirty Deeds, but I only hear it when one of the 9 songs comes up on the iPod.  Some of his stuff is really good.  I like "Ain't No Fun (Waiting Around to be a Millionaire)."

im best friends with the format gang and it was decided that nate wrote his best songs when some crazy girl fucked with his emotions, resulting in a trainwreck of drinking and sadness. 

also, living in phoenix didnt help.  the move to new york and the collaboration with the other parts that make up fun. probably brought this to the next level that the format could have gone, for what it's worth.

"Cocktail attire" means a tuxedo for men, if it's an evening event.  If I were a woman I'd wear a "little black dress" plus a shawl if that felt too revealing. 

I have an opinion on everything!

Cocktail attire around here isn't quite tux for men (actually, I'd say it's a little less casual/more hip than business attire), but then again it's Oklahoma.

I found the album, and a handful of live tracks and some tracks from singles, online a few years ago. I have yet to actually find proper copies of the singles though. The ones I got seemed to only have a-sides from the actual 45s that were released 30 years ago.

That's real awesome from 0:00, but it is a fun visual effect in the second song. I remember seeing this when it first aired. I wonder who the band members were? Was that Earl Slick? And that bass player, despite the occasional disco-y lick that was popular in the day, is fantastic.

it's an odd period in bowie history, 1979, after lodger but before scary monsters. he wasn't touring in this period (from 1979-1983) so this band was hired for this appearance or a set of appearances or something. thus it might not even be his regular players like earl slick.

i do know that his backup singers are joey arias and cult icon klaus nomi though

Isn't that Carlos Alomar on guitar, and there's no reason why it couldn't be George Murray on bass?  I dunno, it sounds like the band that played on Station to Station to me, slightly different arrangement.

I wasn't that big a fan of SUMMER SUN when it came out; it seemed like AND THEN NOTHING TURNED ITSELF INSIDE OUT, Pt. 2, but without the catharsis of a "Cherry Chapstick" to liven things up. I like the record now - it's great nightime/wintertime listening. It still wouldn't make my top 5 YLT albums, though.

I think ELECTR-O-PURA is the best.

Yeah, I was disappointed about The Clean cancellation. I listened to their Anthology with bated breath until their US cancellations. I think Golden Triangle also backed out (saw them a few times with King Khan and the Shrines--they were a lot of fun). I think CoCoComa are filling for them, so that's nothing to complain about.

It is a killer lineup. I am extremely excited about seeing at least 2 bands each day. I saw Davila 666 at the Hi Tone a couple weeks ago--wow, they were a bundle of energy. I was also lucky enough to see the Compulsive Gamblers last weekend at the Antenna Club reunion and they were great as expected. Magic Kids and Useless Eaters are two excellent Memphis bands. I haven't seen Thee Oh Sees before and somehow, I've never been to a Reatards show. I have heard a lot of good things about Sonic Chicken 4 as well. In conclusion, Gonerfest!

Yes. Yes, I am. As a matter of fact, my name here is stolen from one of the Earles/Jensen characters.

Technically, I am separated most of the day by the Mississippi River about 10 minutes away in WM, but all of my time away from the apartment/work is spent in Memphis. I'm a self-identified Memphis resident. God bless Memphis--publicly humiliated on a weekly basis, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I think Eric O put it best in an interview from several years ago when someone asked him what Memphis was like:

"Memphis is Memphis. It's fucked up and great, and fucked up and terrible. It's dirty water and soul. High crime and great gangsta rap. Fried chicken and the best barbecue ribs & sandwiches (pork, not beef) in the world. Sometimes I gotta get out, sometimes I can't believe I'm lucky to be here. The river, the music, the food. The heat."

Indeed.

I didn't realize there was a fellow FOT in Memphis---I think I remember hearing that Tom came to Gonerfest a few years ago. I heard him plug the fundraiser for Zac's daughter a few months ago. The fellow from Knoxville calls in pretty regularly, but I don't remember any Memphis calls lately.

As for the Antenna reunion, it was pretty much as much fun as you imagined. Sorry.

30-something days until Gonerfest. Huzzah!

i was crushed i couldnt go to the antenna reunion!  i dont even want to think about it.  memphis in the 90s gave plenty of good music to the world and its still going strong- memphis muscle. 

creekmore_banks, are you in memphis?

Yes. Yes, I am. As a matter of fact, my name here is stolen from one of the Earles/Jensen characters.

Technically, I am separated most of the day by the Mississippi River about 10 minutes away in WM, but all of my time away from the apartment/work is spent in Memphis. I'm a self-identified Memphis resident. God bless Memphis--publicly humiliated on a weekly basis, but I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

the two jakes from Jump Back Jake are on the board, but i dont think theyve ever called in.  we're out there. 

of course, Eric O is right.  Jay Reatard i think tops off that description very well by describing Memphis as a vortex- youre always broke, youre always down, but you stick it out because theres nowhere else like it.  (more or less what he said- i cant find the video to properly quote him)

but here's another video that begins on an interesting note about memphis:

My 2 favorite Beefheart LPs are Clear Spot and Safe as Milk. I think Trout Mask is pretty unlistenable, as is Lick My Decals Off, Baby. I have no idea how TMR was chosen as the "classic" Beefheart LP.

Trout Mask has some funny, quotable lines.  Like all of Orange Claw Hammer.  I'm sure it's fun to listen to on "grass."

Post by: nec13 on August 23, 2009, 04:11:36 PM
Geez, I forgot Clear Spot. That is a good album.

Regarding TMR, I think its status as a classic may have something to do with the number of critics and musicians that have championed it over the years. I think Lester Bangs said that it was the greatest album ever made. But I don't believe it's any great piece of art. It sounds pretentious and mostly unlistenable to me.

Although, the same could be said for LMDOB. I like it though.

Try Clear Spot. It's much more "normal," even 70s-rock sounding (produced by Ted Templeman of Van Halen & Montrose fame) but it retains the edge of Beefheartian weirdness.

Pretty sure, it's a known fact that it was the Mothers on The Blimp.  It's a Frank Zappa backing track.
The story goes, Frank was sitting around the studio working on a Mothers' track while Beefheart phoned it in, and Frank just laid it over the Mother's track.  That's according to the 33 1/3 book on the making of TMR.

I've really getting into depressing/dark female singer songwriters the past couple years, and this is easily one of my favorite of the genre. The only not-so-hot song on the album is the single, which just doesn't sound like the rest of the album. I can't believe I forgot this in my "best of the decade" list.

Do you like this, SnogRog?  I've tried it several times - I like their other stuff, even the more, uh, weird stuff is ok, but I can't get next to this one at all.

I mean, I'm a blur fanatic. I love pretty much all their albums in different ways. Obviously it's a bit different due to Coxon being axed but...like all their albums, it's got it's ups and downs. But I still will take blur over any other Britpop any day of the week.




There's just not enough... singing? .. for my taste.

I mean, I can understand that. I just find it an interesting progression for the band, and I do enjoy the music. I feel like it's not exactly the same type of singing as previous blur albums, but still there's plenty there I'd say. Ah, it is what it is!

Yeah, Phoenix is pretty good. I heard 1901 on a Cadillac commercial a few nights ago.

I'm listening to the Volcano Choir album, UNMAP. It's Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) singing, a lot of times incoherently, and just making noises over instrumentals by the band Collections of Colonies of Bees. It's been great the past few days for listening to while doing homework because it's just very solid abstract, ambient, experimental music. You can listen to it free at NPR First Listen (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112674848).

Even in my endorsement, I must admit that it is a slow starter. I think that drum machine send a message to people expecting a traditional folk album. It was unnecessary, because the band-name is clearly tongue-in-cheek.

The No Age remix (b-side) of the Fudged Up song "No Epiphany" (a-side).

It's...uh, well, it sounds like they had fun doing whatever it is they did...

Kind of sounds like an instrumental sonic youth noise jam (think end of "The Diamond Sea") with the occasional hardcore screams thrown in.

File it under "oddity" than "good" or "bad".

Already had a Twitter conversation about this, but talk about a weird find (at a thrift store in Ithaca).  I had no idea it existed.  It's mostly songs that were later reissued on VU and Another View, but with 70s-glam style production a la Transformer.  Two members of Yes are even credited on it.

Rick Wakeman was a very popular hired gun until he joined Yes. He's all over rock, in surprising places.

That's a great, great album. Martin's right -- Nixon should be next. My personal favorite is 'Is A Woman', their follow-up to Nixon. The two of them are nice bookends cause one is an all-over-the-place sprawler while the other is kind of quiet and sad. A little like YLT following 'I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One' with 'And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out'.

No, nothing really comes close by them in my mind.  Still my favorite. 

I like nearly all of their stuff though, but would recommend What Another Man Spills next.  Can't really go wrong with any of their records though.

Ethiopiques is a series of compact discs featuring Ethiopian and Eritrean singers and musicians. Many of the Ethiopiques CDs compile various singles and albums that Amha Records, Kaifa Records, and Philips-Ethiopia released during the 1960s and 1970s in Ethiopia. Prominent singers and musicians from this era appearing on Ethiopiques releases include Alemayehu Eshete, Asnaketch Worku, Mahmoud Ahmed, Mulatu Astatke, and Tilahun Gessesse. However, some Ethiopiques releases are new recordings.

The Paris-based world music record label Buda Musique began the Ethiopiques series in 1997 and initially compiled Ethiopian popular music releases from the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the subsequent CDs focus on traditional music, while others highlight individual musicians or specific styles. As of September 2007, there have been 23 releases. None of the CDs feature modern-day synthesizer-based Ethiopian pop music. Francis Falceto is the producer of the series.

Some songs from Ethiopiques Volume 4 were featured in the Jim Jarmusch film Broken Flowers.
Really some quality stuff.

I still need to check out Clear Spot.

I've had Trout Mask Replica for years, every couple of months I pull it out meaning to listen to it, but mostly it doesn't even make it into the CD player.

I'm with Grote on this one. I like Captain Beefheart, but I find Trout Mask Replica to be mostly unlistenable.

I think his best albums are Lick My Decals Off, Baby and that live album that Rhino Handmade released a few years ago. Unfortunately, both of those albums are OOP.

There is so much about them I shouldn't like...the antiseptic production quality, the arrogance of Maynard James Keenan, the extended instrumentals that go nowhere.  But for all of that, tracks like "Hooker With A Penis" and "The Pot" get me every time.

Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators (Mono version). 
Sounds much better than my crappy old 3rd generation copy.

Hey, I was just listening to the mono version of Easter Everywhere.  But now I'm listening to this:

A little overproduced in what I imagine is an attempt to achieve a late 80s/early 90s college rock sound.  But still pretty great.

From what I understand, these dudes are media darlings. I almost saw them play in New York during CMJ (or was that Surf City? Subquestion: What's with all the beach/surf themed/named bands coming up over the past few years?) but didn't. Anyway, I think I like it. I'm not really sure yet (only played it once) but I'm definitely gonna give it another spin.

Spoon's new album, Transference. I've listed through about six or eight times now and I still can't make up my mind. I want to like it cause they're trying to push their sound in a new direction, but I have to admit that underneath all the interesting noises the songs themselves are pretty undercooked.

Scooped up a worn copy of this bad boy at amoeba today.
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h74/ejhuggins/3427095485_1d91ea6ef0_o.jpg)
from some blog: "Released to commemorate the 1969 Memphis Blues Festival, Memphis Swamp Jam features 20 songs by the event's most notable performers. However, this is not a live album. Although the tracks date from the same period as the festival, they were recorded at Ardent Recording Studio and Royal Recording Studio in Memphis. Chris Strachwitz produced this two-LP set, and it marks one of the few occasions (if not only) when he worked in this capacity for a company other than his own Arhoolie Records. The likely idea behind this production was to release it on a label with greater distribution capability than Strachwitz's in an effort to give the musicians wider exposure to the record-buying public. 1969, of course, was a year well known for its numerous music festivals. The blues revival that had begun earlier in the decade was at its apex. With many in the counterculture embracing old blues singers as the spiritual fathers of particular rock & roll musicians, the timing seemed right for a release such as this.

Judging by the quality of the performances, the artists on Memphis Swamp Jam seemed to sense the importance of this project. Sure, you've probably heard different versions of these same songs on other releases by the featured musicians. However, they all seem to go that extra mile on this album perhaps aware that they were now recording for something other than small specialty labels."

It was definitely shocking to see Deerhoof on the tracklist when I downloaded the album. Strangely enough, I think it's one of the strongest and most enjoyable tracks on The Stimulus Package.

If you're looking for more SRC, I'd recommend picking up their first album, The Mix Up. South Rakkas also just remixed most of Tricky's new album - you can find the album by searching for Tricky Meets South Rakkas Crew. Both are very, very good.

You're my 2-year old's hero. She LOVES ABBA. She knows all their names, and talks to them like their in the room. I got her the "Albums" box set and the "ABBA Scrapbook" which she's looked at so many times, I've had to tape sections of pages back in to the the book.

I am currently obsessing over this Jay Reatard version of "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle." I never paid much attention to Nirvana's original, but this is a masterpiece. I certainly don't remember it being such a great song.

Yeah, I have to agree, MoS, Jay's got a killer guitar solo in it, which makes me want to stop playing guitar. Also, in the Nirvana version, not to make anyone puke in their morning fruit loops or anything, I'm hearing a Nickleback quality to Kurt's voice - ugh.

Clint Mansell's soundtrack to Moon. He's one of the best movie composers out there right now. His soundtrack to The Fountain in particular is outstanding but Moon is pretty great as well.

I really love that record, Martin. I think this song is fairly representative, although often the sort of swirling background orchestration/noise takes a more prominent role in the mix.

This songs a great representation, if you can access it from not-America

I'm with you on the Zevon love. It's weird, as similar as his stuff is to Randy Newman (who I DO NOT LIKE AT ALL), I really find myself enjoying his stuff lately. There's such an enchanting nastiness to some of his stuff, like "Play It All Night Long," where he says, "Sweet Home Alabama, play that dead band's song."

I like Zevon.  I've seen him criticized, especially for his more emotional numbers - "Carmelita," "Desperadoes Under the Eaves," but the critics are wrong.

One thing you can tell for sure: anything you like, someone (probably many someones) hates it for the exact same reason you like it.

It's amazing, one of the best party albums ever. I almost can't listen to the official release now without hearing what's missing.

Thanks Martin, I didn't know about GIMIX and now can't wait to find it.

I was thinking a couple months ago about how nothing in electronic music the last few years penetrated my consciousness the way Boards of Canada's Geogaddi and the Avalanches did early last decade. I don't know if there's anything similarly trippy and/or great that didn't really break through.  I don't really follow the genre except occasionally people like Fennesz or ambient stuff like Tim Hecker.

Post by: Martin on February 24, 2010, 01:58:20 PM
Boards of Canada is absolutely sublime. I once tried to describe their music to someone, and blurted out that it sounds at once archaic/ancient, and like it was made in the year 3000. Like music I grew up listening to, and at the same time music I've never heard before. (I also love the mystery that surrounds them, the fact that they almost never give interviews, that they're two brothers from a remote Scottish island, etc.)

I was a little bummed about that too at first, but honestly, you can pay five bucks and get the ability to stream at least fifty songs an unlimited number of times from any computer with a halfway decent internet connection... it's a pretty good deal.

Found at the Princeton Record Exchange, and also a cutout.  On heavy, heavy rotation.  It took a lot of record-buying, but I've come to realize that we could cut our entire collection down to this and an obscure late 50s Miles Davis record my wife plays over and over.

So, who else on here is using lala? I just found it a week or so ago, and I think it's pretty great-- if anyone is interested in starting/joining a cool kids club on there, lemme know.
I do sometimes, it's a pretty good service, although I wish they'd let you stream a song more than once.

I was a little bummed about that too at first, but honestly, you can pay five bucks and get the ability to stream at least fifty songs an unlimited number of times from any computer with a halfway decent internet connection... it's a pretty good deal.

Back on topic...

You are wise to pursue the vinyl, particularly with that one.  I bought the cd for the sake of convenience.  It's ok but I just don't feel the physical lift I get from the record.

So many great songs on this. A bummer that G.G. totally changed his voice and started to write shitty and (more) obscene songs. this kinda has the "trying to be the Stones but doing so with the talent that they have" feel that bands like Cock Sparrer did well.

Listened to some of the new Joanna Newsom album and... liked it?  She sounds more in control of her voice now; more Joni Mitchell-ish.  I wonder how the forest creature community is taking it.

I've had it for a few days now.  Listened to it all the way through once, listened to the second disc many more times. 

And the Tenement Halls, thanks Score! cover album.  Just been listening to 'Plenty is Never Enough' over and over on youtube.  Never would have guessed that was the guy from Rock*A*Teens.  Waiting for the full album in the mail.

Don't forget "TV Eye". That was HOT STUFF.

I don't remember them doing so many of their own songs in years past. This year, they did "Blue Line Swinger", "Drug Test" and "Can't Forget". So good.

And the Bryan Ferry impressions were wonderful all around.

One of my very favorite albums from the 90s, it's like a perfect blending of arena rock and psychedelia. You get muscular, guitar-led rock songs with "Oh yeah"s and "Baby"s aplenty but lyrics about comic books, spaceships, and psychedelic drugs and song titles like "Negasonic Teenage Warhead," "Ego, The Living Planet," and "Look To Your Orb For the Warning."

I suppose fans of one would be fans of the other, but to my ears Monster Magnet are much more psychedelic (as in the Nuggets boxes, Back from the Grave/Pebbles/Boulders/High in the Mid-Sixties/Scum of the Earth comps) and write better songs. And Dave Wyndorf's a better singer than Neil Fallon.

Here's a good starter track:

Clutch is a lot more metal than those guys. That wasn't bad but even though it seems like an unpopular choice amongst FOTs, I love Clutch (not the most recent album as much).

Though, alternately, I did hear the title was chosen because the record company wanted a record "loaded with hits."  So maybe Lou was being a smartass.

CBC w/ DJ Terre T's tribute to Alex Chilton.
Big Star's live cover of T. Rex's "Baby Strange" is kinda blowing my mind right now. What also blows my mind is that this is from 1973, and T. Rex, with the exception of "Bang A Gong (Get It On)" never really took off in the US, and "Baby Strange" was only a year old at most when it was covered. That is cool.

Checking out this Black Jaspers LP that I picked up yesterday. I've liked some of the King Khan stuff I've heard, which is probably what prompted me to pick this up, but I'm unimpressed so far. I guess I should've been warned away by the "Mastered by Tim Warren" on the back cover, but I went ahead anyway. It just seems like KBD lo-fi dress-up with every song sounding EXACTLY the same, production so bad they had to be trying and the usual boilerplate nosebleed/1977/razorblade song titles. Blah.

Lloyd Miller - A Lifetime in Oriental Jazz

Pretty sensational compilation on the Jazzman label. Came out last year. Details. (http://www.discogs.com/Lloyd-Miller-A-Lifetime-In-Oriental-Jazz/release/1961397)

Lloyd has led quite a life. From his Wiki entry:

Quote
(b. 1938)

Lloyd Miller received a doctorate in ethnomusicology from the University of Utah. His thesis was entitled "Music and Song in Persia". While writing his thesis, he spent 7 years in Tehran as an arts writer for several publications and a PR person for the Center for Preservation and Propagation of Iranian Music.

He is native in English and fluent in Persian, Dari and French, and during the 1950s and 60s, Miller played with top jazz artists in Europe like Don Ellis and Eddie Harris. Miller was interested in eastern culture and music. He moved to Iran and mastered Persian music as well as Iranian folk music genres under the supervision of masters Dr. Daryush Safvat and Mahmoud Karimi.

Dr. Miller is also known as Kurosh Ali Khan, a name he used while hosting a prime-time television show in Tehran, Iran in the 1970s. The program was known as Kurosh Ali Khan va Dustan, or Kurosh Ali Khan and Friends, a variety show with music.

I've been doing a little compare and contrast, and or maybe just watching/revisiting the first 2 "Decline of Western Civ.", first of all how crazy is 1? I never saw it until now despite having been a big Black Flag/Circle Jerks fan since I was in 7th grade, just never had accesses to this movie? It is crazy and to place it in a 1979/1980 time frame at this point is blowing my mind. The first movie as I'm sure anyone as else who has the two will agree is so much more relevant to where we are now, the second is fun, interesting but is less socially relevant? I don't know any one else have comments on these movies? Also I just realized the hilltop in LA she has Lemmy standing on in the second, is the same as she has some other British guy/critic standing on in the first 8 or 9 years earlier?

It's great to hear our pal DJ Terre T as the loudest advocate of Andy putting on the Peanut Butter Underwear.

Good to know I'm not crazy for noticing that!

Speaking of SSD, last night's show was hilarious. I would say the topic itself was a near-trainwreck, but the way Ken and Andy half-abandoned the premise and went for the Secret Agent Man thing was great. Both were in top form too.

An episode of Seven Second Delay from 1993 that I'm listening to because one of the comment says that a young Tom Scharpling calls in.

Zomby - Where Were U in '92?

Oddest genre revival (early breakbeat/happy hardcore/jungle) since I don't know when. Very entertaining though, and very ADHD - songs start and finish without intro/outro, go right into each other, and rarely last longer than two-three minutes. Before this I hadn't heard Blade Runner samples since Dillinja's The Angels Fell.

My iTunes is on shuffle and "Biomusicology" by Ted Leo is on.
Interestingly enough, that song sparked the relationship between my best friend and I.

Him: We should go to a concert together sometime, you seem to like cool music.
Me: Well I mean, I'm going to see Ted Leo in June if you wanna come.
Him: Oh my god Biomusicology is the best song ever!
Me: Oh my god let's be best friends now!

Technically, I'm not listening to it right now (sorry), but I did hear a leak of the new New Pornographers album earlier today, and it's pretty great. I'd rank it above "Challengers" and a little below "Twin Cinema" (my favorite). My ladyfriend had already ordered the CD, but hearing the full album compelled me to go and pre-order the LP.

I'm about 2/3 the way through it now, and it really starts to gain momentum and pick up with "Freak Out." This is the band I remember from the debut album.

Disregard "Flagpole Sitta" (which is a decent and catchy rock song but overplayed) and this album is really fantastic, in my humble opinion. I suggest you check out the tracks "Carlotta Valdez" or "Jack the Lion".

Also, their album after this one, King James Version, is even better.

I love Kontiki. 1997 ended up being a pretty packed year for great music that probably led to this getting unfairly overlooked when it came out, but I'm so glad I managed to find it then, and continue to enjoy it today.

Couldn't agree more.  I was just telling my wife yesterday that this is slowly becoming my favorite album EVER.  A great mix of "mellifluous" Beefheart (e.g. Too Much Time) and "chew-on-this-for-a-while" Beefheart (e.g. Big Eyed Beans from Venus), but never seeming disjointed.  The production, the lyrics, the music, and Don's voice are all top-notch.

I have absolutely no experience with rap at all. But what grabbed me was the intensity of the performance; the crazy lyrics that are simultaneously clever, juvenile, psychotic, offensive, and literate; the beat was pretty badass; the complete lack of posturing that seems to go along with most rap either of the gangster flavor or of the too cool for school intelligent flavor.

I don't know, like I said I have zero rap in my music collection but something about this grabbed me like no other rap has.

True story about death of a fellow of hers if I recall correctly (who knows).  Saw her on this tour at least once.  Highlights being 1)meeting her drummer, Joel Trueblood (of Untamed Youth "fame") who, after I introduced myself as being from Columbia, MO and an Untamed Youth fan bought me a beer and brought me backstage to shoot the breeze and 2) Nico lifting her dress as was her wont in those days. What?
I remember she had a huge bandage on her hand and said she'd cut herself at work and the travesty I thought it was that such a talent had to work at a job handling sharp implements.

Of course I can see why NPR wouldn't contact Tom, the Best Show's humor is clearly not what they are going for.  However, I think what Benjamin Walker can produce, largely by himself, beats NPR at it's own game.  I don't think it's the intellectualism of NPR that is its flaw but it's self-satisfied smarm.  TMI's edginess, as I see it, is not something I would imagine NPR would embrace.  Although it has been compared to This American Life.

Like a lot of WFMU staffers, he worked at WNYC for a while. I'm not sure if he's still there or not (I think he said he was fired on TMI, but he does this great Joe Frank thing where you don't really know how staged the real-life segments are). I do know that he was pretty unhappy there, though.

Incidentally, This American Life is PRI, which only demonstrates your point even more: even it was too edgy for NPR.

I love TMI. He's always got interesting guests and stories (the guy who works in Washington, DC, the episode on Russia including the 'social media expert' being misled by his translator into believing a prostitute was actually into him, Evgeny Morozov, and on and on). It could sure improve NPR's line up.

Cossacks Are - Scott Walker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbpBxXEPQow#)

Od końca lat siedemdziesiątych rzadko pojawiały się jego nagrania. Od 1980 roku wydał trzy albumy: Climate of Hunter w 1984, Tilt w 1995 oraz The Drift w 2006 roku. Napisał też i wyprodukował w roku 1999, muzykę do filmu Pola X w reżyserii Leosa Carax’a.

W październiku 2003 roku Walker otrzymał, za wkład w rozwój muzyki, nagrodę od brytyjskiego magazynu Q, a w 2006 roku został uhonorowany nagrodą MOJO.

I don't quite understand his recent resurgence in popularity.  It seems pretty aged.

Out of his oeuvre, I've only listened to Scott 4 and Tilt. I liked the former, but didn't particularly care for the latter.

There's something about his voice that I find slightly grating. It's hard for me to explain.

Disco Outlaw sounds alot like Reigning Sounds/Parting Gifts stuff. Jack O is Jack Oblivian formerly from The Oblivians. It's very soulful, twangy and Memphis-y. Here is a song and article: http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/4951 (http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/4951)

The Belle and Sebastian album is very catchy and poppy. There are a few slower songs that are just as good but for instance the title track will crawl into your memory and never come out.

It's nice to get a fresh vinyl record for 8 bucks flat. I feel like even when I don't know the artist, I can trust DC to lead me in the right direction.

I love that the impressions on Comedy Death Ray work whether or not you even know the original. I haven't seen 'the King's Speech', and aside from seeing him once or twice on the TV as a kid 30 years ago, I know very little about the real Gary Marshall.

I have that album on CD imported on my computer. Is it just my copy or is it really low volume-wise? I usually turn up the volume and then when that album is over and something else comes on, I nearly jump out of my seat.

Their first two records with Brian Eno are tremendous. The subsequent albums, like Country Life and Siren, are slightly less tremendous, but still great.

Actually, I think Country Life might be my favorite album of theirs.

I can appreciate Whitesnake in an abstract way now. The main point of the story was that I am not as laid back as I often present myself.

Yes! I think Linda Thompson is a great song writer and singer and Richard Thompson is an underrated guitar god. When it comes to modern day pastoral type music people usually bring up the Kinks, but I think Richard and Linda Thompson are just as influential.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To Right This Very Second?
Post by: cavorting with nudists on March 26, 2011, 04:16:58 PM
In my book, Richard Thompson's work up through Hand of Kindness in 1983 qualifies him as one of the all-time greats, but for some reason, after that he lost me all but completely.  He's obviously still a guitar god (though I saw him live, at my gf's insistence, within the last year and frankly I thought he was phoning it in a bit by this point), but something big went out of his songwriting for me. Spiritual intensity, or conviction,  or something. He just never seems to have written any songs since then that really feel like they needed to have been written. (And aaaggh, I know how his cult loves that motorcycle song, but I don't.)

Because Thompson's early work seems so inspired, this analogy comes to mind: Bob Dylan once said that after some years in limbo, he had to figure out how to do consciously what he had been able to do unconsciously.  I think RT forgot how to do the latter and never managed to do the former.

So, hmmm, he goes from smash to trash one album after dumping Linda, and half the songs on that one are about her.  Coincidence?  I've always suspected that she may have been not only a great singer, but the best muse/critic/quality control he ever had.

Post by: cavorting with nudists on March 27, 2011, 04:18:41 PM
Paul, the thing is that while he was above all a producer, he had such a signature sound that the records he produced are associated with him as much as--actually, probably more than--they are with the artists who play and sing on them.  To say you've been listening to a lot of Phil Spector just makes more sense than to say you've been listening to a lot of the Ronettes, Crystals, Righteous Brothers, Bob B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans, etc. etc. records that Phil Spector produced.

BTW, I bought that "Back to Mono" CD box when it was released & thought it sounded like utter shit. Still can't listen to it, and probably won't be going back to vinyl. Have they done an upgrade?

For all I know, they might have done an upgrade.  A lot of people were kind of shocked at the time.  This was when many bought the hype that CDs just sounded de facto better than vinyl, so expectations ran high for the Wall of Sound on CD, and there was a fair amount of "Jeez! Who farted?" critical reaction as I recall.

For what it's worth, Amazon reviewers of "Back to Mono" don't seem to complain about the sound much, but reviewers of this smaller, more recent set seem to mention often that the sound is an improvement over the box:

Yeah, that movie was pretty great - and I also liked that interview a lot ... I absolutely love how, I don't know how to put it ... you've got this comedian who had a pretty obvious, one note shtick when he was coming up, or I should say, it was the thing that he got famous for in those Police Academy movies ... but there was (and is) a shit ton more going on with that guy.

Did a fair bit of freelance work in March; the checks finally came through. Used most of the money to cover a trifle our enormous pile of debt; kept a little bit out for myself. Holed up in my office grading written projects and writing finals today; stopped by my favorite record store on the way. Hunkered down with the CDs I picked up on random play. They are

Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call
The Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead
Neil Young - Ragged Glory
Suede (1st record)
The Replacements - Tim
Screamadelica - XTRMNTR
The Fall - This Nation's Saving Grace
Dire Straits (1st record)

51 bucks!!! Now back to work.

Good luck with the marking, Dave. I'm on my teaching practicum right now, and my head cold and I will be spending most of my weekend marking maps of former French colonial territories and persuasive paragraphs.

On a happier note, the recent Best Show talk of F'ed Up and related side projects reminded me to pull out my favorite single of last year:

Seriously, Teenage Targets is a perfect power pop song (and I'm using the term power pop in the Westerberg/Case sense of the word). Also reminds me alot of the first Tsar album; not as polished, but just as soaring. Grab this if you see it.

For $30 CD/$35 vinyl, you get the album on the release date, a digital download of 5 non-LP tracks, an early digital download of the album (released in 4 parts, 1 part per day on May 10 - 13), a digital download of David's Town, and 4 exclusive 7"s of non-LP tracks.

Sorry if this sounds like an ad for the album, but it's a pretty good deal and also exciting for a record nerd like me.

I listened to that new Kate Bush record today, too.  I've had "Red Shoes" and "Sensual World" for a few years now and I really liked them, I was really looking forward to an update of some of her more underrated material, but "the director's cut" just seemed really unnecessary.     While the songs no longer have that early 90s timestamp to them, it was really disheartening to hear everything transposed down, and the new arrangements ranged from boring ("This Woman's Work") to cringeworthy ("Rubberband Girl").  God bless Kate for keeping going, and I can't wait to hear the record of new material.

And what a crappy time-stamp that can be. That's what kills me about those two albums; the lyrics, the singing, the structure of those songs are great, but the sound is sooooo dated, and I'm still not sure whether I love the Clapton guitar work or whether it's the laziest thing I have ever heard. I think I read that she wanted to move towards a more live-band sound as opposed to the layered Fairlight CMI sound of Hounds Of Love, which I love because there is so much going on in those songs, and melodies and elements that flow through that album. I think the new versions have a more cohesive sound.

And I still think Prince should have done the vocals for "Rubberband Girl" (both versions).

This is really great. Somewhere between the Michael Nesmith stuff and Townes Van Zandt with a touch of New Skin For The Old Ceremony heartbreak (at least on track 1).  Plus the dl I procured is a warm lp rip with lots of little pops and crackles.

Link does play on it. Here's some good info on it:
http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2011/03/02/vernon-wray-wasted/ (http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2011/03/02/vernon-wray-wasted/)
Apparently it's been re-issued by a tiny Nashville label, but when I go to their site (linked in the AD article), I don't see any way to add it to my cart.  There's also a pretty countrypolitan vibe to some of it.

Sound of Young America interview with Prodigy from Mobb Deep.  Dude's had a life.

Jesse Thorn is seriously one of the best interviewers in the business without a doubt.

Agreed, and this was a high point among many. I want to read the guy's book.

Thank you. Prodigy is an incredible dude.

Right now I'm listening to "Fuck 'Em (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4gvcEkXj2A&feature=relmfu#ws)" from the new E-40 album. In fact, that record's barely left my car CD player in the last month. Slaps back to front.

A true overlooked classic. It has the anger and ferocity of hardcore, the mind-melting distortion of the best stuff released on the PSF label, and the rock heft of stoner metal, all topped with a guy who can actually sing when he needs to.

The Michael Shelley Show introduced me to this gem. I've been on sort of a power-pop/college rock kick. This guys songs are pretty and super catchy and kinda Big Star-ish. After a while it may seem like his songwriting is really formulaic because the songs are so consistently great but I think that is just him being a fantastic songwriter.

And this never loses nastalgic perfection:

Honestly, this is the way I've felt with F'd Up from the beginning but I've just kept it to myself. It's a bit too loud of singing for me. But I guess that is the typical vocals of hardcore, right? It's a genre I'm not very familiar with.

I think you just hit upon the reason I don't particularly care for the album. The vocals.

I know there's some type of narrative involved. But I'll be damned if I can discern it. The vocals don't help in this regard.

I think I was surprised as well as a bit turned off by Damian's vocals when I first heard them but I stuck with it and, ever since THE CHEMISTRY OF COMMON LIFE, I have been completely on board. The new album has been getting a play almost every morning since I bought it last week. I now can't imagine their music without his voice. They are on the top of my "must see" list right now.

I can't really say you're "missing something" though. That would be like trying to talk me into liking oatmeal which I can't even swallow. But at the very least - like you with Fucked Up - I have tried it. It just isn't for me and it probably never will be no matter how hard people try to convince me how great it is.

But it's OK; just like I can eat something else for breakfast, there are a TON of great albums that have been released this year that can fill you up. Some of my favorites so far are this years releases by The Mountain Goats, The Dodos, Obits, Smith Westerns, Telekenesis, Thee Oh Sees, & Kurt Vile. Great stuff, I think.

The "took off my hat and said 'Imagine that!'" part is definitely the biggest phony hippie fantasy to appear in music. There's no way that happens. It's like they thought hippies had some magic Looney Tunes powers or Hobo Magic or something, where they could hide all their hippie hair under a hat and suddenly walk into an office building and fool the boss into thinking they were wearing a shirt and tie just because they had the long tucked up into a top hat they found in a dumpster somewhere.

I actually purchased one of these hats in a headshop in the mid-90s along with a pair of baggy yoga pants. I briefly joined the board of directors of a Fortune 500 company until the hat fell off while I was screaming at my assistant and everyone witnessed a shower of glorious cornrows come cascading down my shoulders.

I don't know if you're serious or not, but the lyric is "Don't go, Jason Waterfalls". It's about a classmate of Paul's brother Mike, who died on a school trip to a zoo after playing around near the polar bear enclosure.

Bill Fox is amazing. If you haven't already, check out his old band The Mice. More punk/powerpop than his solo stuff, but just as great.

Oh shit. I forgot they were doing a rock box! Can't wait. A cursory glance reveals it includes the Preachers version of "Who Do You Love" which features probably the greatest AHHHHH!!!'s in the history of rock'n'roll. 

Seriously, is there a better rock'n'roll performance than this? I submit there is not (even though they're lipsynching in this clip).

"Sleeping Bag" is actually on the ninth ZZ Top album, Afterburner.

Excuse the nerdiness, but as you might've guessed from my username, ZZ Top is my favorite American rock band. I don't think they get credit for just how tasteful and quirky and funny their stuff is, even before they got to Eliminator and all of the (great) videos that we've all seen a million times.

Their discography hit a bit of a rough patch after Eliminator, but their 12th album, Rhythmeen, is one of their very best. I highly recommend it, and I'm sure you can find it in the cheap bin of any used record store you care to visit.

These records are full-on ragin'. Did you know they brought cattle on tour/on stage with them in '75? WTF?

As you might guess from my avatar, I also like ZZ Top. But not until Master of Sparks adopted me during my short-lived tenure as a WFMU "DJ" and I got curious and got the LP of "Tres Hombres" for four bucks at a weird-smelling record store in Walla Walla.

And right now I am getting my daily dose of:

Yeah, I think they were trying to simulate Texas onstage. 'Tres Hombres' is my favorite album of theirs, but I'll check out Rythmeen on Master Of Sparks' recommendation. I've been listening to the 'Six Pack' comp, which actually has the first 7 minus Deguello.

Six Pack unfortunately tinkers with the original mixes of those early albums to give them an Eliminator-like sheen (it's most noticeable on the drums). It's best to try and locate original vinyl copies (or digital rips from original pressings - these shouldn't be too hard to track down, but I can point those who need help in the right direction). Rhino did remasters that restored the original drum tracks to Tres Hombres and Fandango! a few years back, and I was hoping they'd do the same for the others, but it hasn't happened yet.

My favorite album of theirs changes quite often, but right now it's Tejas. It's definitely the sleeper in their catalogue, but it's worth a listen.

I am always disappointed whenever I see greatest-songs-ever lists, and Waiting for the Bus/Jesus Just Left Chicago never gets a mention. That first record is an underappreciated gem, as well. And Just Got Paid is incredible, if only for the drumwork.

Tres Hombres is a masterpiece.

Really, I don't see how anyone could dislike ZZ Top. Same goes for CCR.

These Wu things, are they available via the store/iTunes channels, or are they semi underground things you have to dig around for kind of like the legendary and not really legal Gray album a couple years back?

I was listening to 'How the West Was Won' as I have been on a Zeppelin thing like Scharpling lately. I could have sworn I got on that independently, but who knows or cares? Anyhow while a lot of it's good, no way in hell am I listening to a 10 minute version of Stairway to Heaven.

I think I like the Yoko POB LP better than the John one (which I really love). I've heard other Yoko LPs (Fly and Approximately Infinite Universe) and not really liked them and I never cared for her tracks (or John's) on Double Fantasy, but that first LP is really something else. It features some of Ringo's best drumming IMO.

Listening to The Stranglers' No More Heroes.  I'm a fairly recent convert to these guys' records.  For too long, I wrote them off as misogynist bar-band dudes cashing in on England's late-'70s punk momentum, but I'm fixating on a few of their records lately.  They're great!  I was wrong about them!

Yes.  This album is so great.  The version I have has Live Sparks appended to it, and it's awesome.  They do a great cover of "I Want You Back" and a vicious version of "Mercury Poisoning."

If I can ever get up the nerve to play a solo show, I'll probably do "Local Girls."

I haven't thought about this one in a long time but I loooved it back in the day. It got a lot of radio play. Parker had sort of a snotty,angry, bitter quality that I related to. (I wonder why?) I might have like Joe Jackson's early stuff  for the same reason.

Sparks had about three career highpoints, and some pretty dumb shit.  I preferred the first two albums overall. "You Can't Be Too Strong" is one of the few songs that piss me off so much I want to yell back at the speakers, like it was Bill O'Reilly on the radio or somethin.'

I only know The Stranglers from Butt-head's take on the "Skin Deep" video.

That was all I knew of them for years.  I bought a best-of CD years ago to hear "Golden Brown" because I'd heard that Bedhead had covered it live.  I thought that song, "Something Better Change," "No More Heroes," and "Duchess" were pretty good.  Rated "Skin Deep" as a guilty pleasure.  Really, really didn't like "Peaches."  It's still not one of my favorites of theirs, although it grates on me a bit less than it used to.  Dumb song.

Albums 1 through 4 and 6 are great, like the Face Peelers series with TLS at the helm.  The 5th record is a concept album about aliens or something, so I haven't been able to convince myself it won't be stupid.  I could be wrong, and I'll find out if I find a cheap enough used copy.

Aaaaand that's my unsolicited Stranglers spiel!

Sparks had about three career highpoints, and some pretty dumb shit.  I preferred the first two albums overall. "You Can't Be Too Strong" is one of the few songs that piss me off so much I want to yell back at the speakers, like it was Bill O'Reilly on the radio or somethin.'


I really don't like this song, now that you mention it.  I tend to forget it's on that album.  The anti-abortion business makes my skin crawl.  Even with "You Can't Be Too Strong," I like Squeezing Out Sparks a lot more than his first three.  There's a pervasive faux-soul, pub-rock element to those (which makes sense, given the dudes who were in the band) that I think is a little offputting, and I like the leaner, scaled-back Rumour on Sparks

I do like those first three albums a lot, but it seems like for every "Pourin' It All Out" and "Don't Ask Me Questions," there's a "Lady Doctor" or "Hotel Chambermaid."

The only other GP albums I've heard are The Parkerilla, which I really didn't like, and The Mona Lisa's Sister, which I thought was okay.

Is any of his other stuff worth owning?

I've never heard him before.  He sounds like a mix of Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson (with whom I know he's linked in the public consciousness) and a bit of the mid-period Tubes to me.  Not bad, but not life changing for me, either.

It's a good thing that song came out before MTV.  The video woulda probably had a damn sonogram in it, or maybe be just a sonogram.

Well, there's the first three, Nick Lowe-produced albums, and Squeezing Out Sparks. After that, his records went straight down the terlet if you ask me, but he did retain vestiges of a cult.  He lives in Woodstock now.

I saw him and the Rumour maybe four times and they were one of the best live acts I've ever seen. A live album from San Francisco in 1979 was released a couple of years ago and it's probably pretty hot shit.

Nick Lowe is another one of those dudes who seems to have fallen off after a handful of great records.  Jesus of Cool, Labour of Lust, Seconds of Pleasure, the stuff compiled on The Wilderness Years--all incredible.  Nothing else of his grabs me like that stuff.  The Impossible Bird and Dig My Mood are okay, but I never listen to them.

Do you guys have any Nick Lowe recommendations?  I suspect I'm missing out on other good stuff of his, but my copy of Basher tells me otherwise.  Everything on that comp after Labour of Lust is pretty bad!

After years of being perplexed by this band, I've recently turned the corner. Still haven't heard everything yet, but I'm making my way through the catalog.

London Calling is a good, but overrated album. Not their best work, IMO.

I don't think they ever topped their debut album, personally.

Of the three I've heard so far, this is how I'd rank them in terms of preference:

1. London Calling
2. Combat Rock
3. s/t (UK version, in case you're wondering)

The rootsy sprawl of London Calling really puts me in mind of Exile on Main Street, which is also the sound of a band mastering its own influences and really making them a part of the band's sound. Despite the wide range of sounds being pulled into the stew, it sounds tight and coherent and like the work of a single band. There are a couple of misfires (The Card Cheat is a swing and a miss at Born To Run-era Springsteen, and I don't know what the hell Koka Kola is), but it's pretty hard to complain when you look at what surrounds them.

The straight punk of the debut, on the other hand, sounds a bit toothless to me in comparison with some of my favorites from the era. Maybe it's because I heard the later albums first, but this sounds to me like a band struggling to find an identity. "White Riot" in particular just sounds like a semi-finalist entry from a Ramones cover competition. There are some great songs on here, don't get me wrong. It's possible I'll warm to it later.

In any case, I look forward to hearing the other 2. Is Cut The Crap even worth tracking down? I know its poor reputation, but I don't know if it's earned.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To Right This Very Second?
Post by: cavorting with nudists on September 04, 2011, 11:29:44 AM
If it means anything to ya, Johnny Ramone said that when he first heard "White Riot" he thought this was the only band that did what the Ramones did as well as the Ramones. But you know, if you think other punk bands sound less like they're still in search of an identity, it could be that a lot of that search had already been done for them, by the Clash.  (Depends on which bands, I guess--I feel like the Sex Pistols, Buzzcocks, and X-Ray Spex probably would have sounded like they did whether or not the Clash had existed.)

I wouldn't bother with Cut the Crap, though "This is England" is worth getting on its own. A movingly desperate-sounding cri de coeur from a Joe Strummer badly in need of a break.

1948 to 1980 is a pretty broad span of time for 'early gurus', but it sounds interesting anyway.

I had no idea they re-recorded "Cheap Trick in Color" with Albini. Man, I really need to hear that as I Liked Albini's production on the "Baby Talk/ Brontosaurus" single. Did they re-do some of the other, older stuff like "Heaven Tonight"?

ETA: Found a copy. Thank you for turning me on to this. They actually sound like a live band on it. Sometimes I thinkAlbini's production crowds the band out in favor of getting a general sound. But he works so well woth Cheap Trick-- much like he did on the  Pixies album "Surfer Rosa" or any of his Jesus Lizard stuff

Thank you again......

You've got to also hear the US version of the debut (or the Singles compilation), you can't miss out on "Complete Control" and "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais".

I agree with this. After reading some of the comments in this thread, I bought the five tracks from the US version that aren't on the UK version and they are substantially stronger than the tracks they replaced. The album may lose some focus as a result of their insertion, but I think it's hard to argue that what results isn't a stronger LP.

Even this record, not my favorite, has much to recommend it, and Hideaway is just absolutely soulful and beautiful. That little 2-line bridge is devastatingly under-stated before he revs back up with the "GOODBYE GOODBYE GOODBYE". For my money, every minute of Willy and the Poor Boys is transcendent. Fogerty's second probably only to Neil Young for wrenching great emotional power out of 2 or 3 guitar notes. Listen to the last minute of Effigy, it's effing EPIC.

I know you didn't ask me, but Slave is infinitely superior to the debut. I'd put it up there among the finest of its era.

Skid Row is a very solid debut, but Slave to the Grind is a classic.  The overall playing and songwriting is at a much higher level to my ears. 

Slave delivers a great mix of heavier riffage (the opening 1-2 blast of "Monkey Business"/"Slave to the Grind" is one of my all-time favorite opening 1-2 blasts; "Mudkicker"), pop metal rippers ("The Threat," "Livin' On A Chain Gang"), Parental Advisory-prompting ("Get the F Out"1), punk rave-up "Riot Act," and a trio of primo power-ballads ("Quicksand Jesus," "In A Darkened Room," and "Wasted Time").  "In A Darkened Room" is probably Bach's best-ever vocal performance.   

In summary: Dan, please revisit this recording!

I like but don't love Real and thought it would have been great if he has a few more Day After Tomorrow-like songs thrown in there. This is my wish granted. A perfect mix of everything I like about his current sound.

I saw him on the Real Gone tour where he played mostly loud songs and then I saw him on the Glitter and Doom tour where he played a knockout show with nearly all of my favorites from all over the place. It seemed like he picked up on his HUGE cult following on the first tour and did it again with the audience in mind. I think he's still having a great time and is happy with the work he is currently creating but he also cares alot about pleasing his fans. It's great when someone can do both almost effortlessly.

That IS a brilliant comp, and the first alb by the Jam I ever owned (bought it on a cassette from Record Town in 1992). There are a lot of really great Jam songs that aren't on that comp though - for instance, "But I'm Different Now;" "I Got By in Time" and the original version of "A Solid Bond in Your Heart." Really, the Jam were a great singles band AND their albums held together well too. I would suggest getting the box set that came out a few years ago - There are essentials on that thing that SNAP! ignores.

Right now, I'm listening to this weird old French prog band, Etron Fou Leloublan.

I just finished listening to the 1982 tape from Vic Serf and the Villans (who were another Homosexuals spin-pff group). The name of the album is "Rok Y Roll." Liked it lots:

I'm listening to myself play some self-indulgent noodling. I just bought a cumbus (pronounced "choom-boosh") this weekend; it's sort of a cross between a banjo and an oud. The cumbus is a relatively new folk instrument of Turkish origin, with six pairs of strings in the style of a 12-string guitar. The one I bought is called a standard cumbus, and the fingerboard is fretless. It sounds amazing and I've been experimenting with different tunings, but this one seems like the most fun to play with and to figure out scales on: (from lo to hi): GADGCE.

And it looks like this:

Those sound really cool. Was it pretty straightforward to learn? Did you find one at a store to play before buying?

Basically, my girlfriend (who plays guitar in the band I'm in) and I went to Andy's Music in Chicago on a lark, and I saw the cumbus in a section of the store where they keep all the unusual stringed instruments from other countries - ouds, charangas, etc. (cue J. W. talking about "pipi drums" here). It essentially crawled into my lap and insisted I play it. The more I played around with it, the more interesting the instrument seemed to me, and I couldn't stop thinking about buying it and learning how to play. A couple hours later, I bought it and took it home and now the calluses on my fingers are KILLING me (in a good way). It's still taking me time to learn, since I'm a drummer at heart, and my knowledge of guitar is pretty mediocre, though I used to play guitar in previous bands. Getting used to a fretless stringed instrument is difficult, but once you can perceive where the intervals are, you can put stickers on the thumb-side of the neck like I did and sorta cheat to find the right notes. Figuring out chords is a lot harder, since the tuning is so unlike a guitar's and I'm used to easily finding barre chords and modifying the fingering in chord shapes to create sevenths and diminished chords and such - the cumbus is a whole new world compared to that. Still, I'm determined to get proficient on the cumbus by January - I have a solo gig at an experimental music festival and I want to use it in my set.

Got this and and a few other NRBQ records out of the dollar bin and it was one of my best recent purchases. The albums as a whole are just good and fun but they each have at least three knockout songs.

Isn't NRBQ one of those cliche WFMU bands that all the listeners like? I always associated them with the middle-aged single guys you see at record fairs you see complaining about 45s.

Oh yeah - on one of the early, early archived  shows, Tom takes NRBQ apart; IIRC, he claims that NRBQ traffics in the kind of pre-punk "boogie" that punk rock was supposed to get rid of. I can understand where he comes from on that; half of NRBQ's output makes me want to puke, and the other half is great. I love Tom Ardolino's drumming and Al Anderson is an incredible songwriter and singer - witness his first band's "No Good to Cry," a major blue-eyed soul masterpiece from the 60s:

Wildweeds - 01 No Good To Cry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PdeKoamDXU#)

There's too much lounge-y shit and boring old "boogie" in NRBQ's sound, but "Ridin' in My Car" is immortal.

Well jeez guys, I was paraphrasing. I'm now listening to the episode in question...The April 17, 2001 episode has Tom's opinion on this NRBQ stuff: "Crummy bar-band music....The worst rooty-toot toot music...." ...Tom compares the "rock and roll" of The Ramones to the "rock and roll" of NRBQ; Tom says the reason why the Ramones' rock and roll was superior is that "the Ramones didn't have any BOOGIE in them....The worst band in history." Keep in mind that Tom takes Al Green to task in this same episode.

Okay, so my memory of this episode - last heard about 9 months ago - was not exact, but I THINK that was the point Tom was trying to get across: that the punk bands who tried to recapture the fun and energy of 50s/early 60s rock didn't use "boogie" in their sound: i.e. no one played any shuffles, no I-IV-V chord progressions (for the most part) or walking bass lines (to be reductionist about it). To many rock critics and punk fans, yes, many think of rock history in pre-punk and post-punk terms, and I guess I thought Tom's thoughts on NRBQ succinctly summed up this point without having to say it out loud. Tom never says anyone was "replacing" anything; those were my words based on the hazy memory of this show. But....Add this episode to the Kid Ebay discussion of pub rock, and I think we can guess Tom's feelings about those kind of musical features that define pre-punk rock (not talking specifically prog like Emerson Lake and Palmer, but that too - talking about bland mainstream rock in the mid-70s) and the stuff that came after. Sure, Led Zeppelin had some "boogie" in them (i.e. "Boogie With Stu," but...)

That's my interpretation, and I may be being presumptuous, and sorry if I was, but yeah, okay.

As for what bands would qualify as "Boogie," I would guess early Doobies, Status Quo, Canned Heat, some Ten Years After, Dave Edmunds, Little Feat, uh....I guess all those mid-70s bands who were still doing Chuck Berry riffs in a "tasteful" way, unlike, say, the New York Dolls, who were far less reverent about it. Uh...I dunno. (shrug) Didn't think that post was gonna cause such a brouhaha.

This Wikipedia article on "Boogie Rock" mentions Canned Heat, ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Status Quo, Humble Pie, Savoy Brown, Foghat, and Engine.  (Engine?)  But Tom likes ZZ Top.  But then almost nobody's theories about what makes music good match up with their actual tastes exactly.

One strike against NRBQ is that I find Terry Adams' "wacky" onstage persona and his "quirky" playing really fucking annoying. There's so much of NRBQ's catalog that I find insufferable, but I really REALLY like some of what they do - and I miss that sort of grainy white soul voice that Al Anderson had; nobody really sings like that anymore. Plus, Tom Ardolino is a master at the peculiar swinging-but-not-quite-a-shuffle feel that early rock and roll drummers like Earl Palmer had. I mean, his performance here is pretty awesome - it's REALLY hard for modern drummers to capture this kind of loose-limbed feel:

I've been on a kick of pop-punk stuff I was into from the ages of 16-19. Don't Back Down is so friggin' awesome. It's so catchy with amazing choruses and melodies. They listened to a ton of early Beach Boys and bubblegum stuff before they made this and it shows. The final song on the album is "I Can't Get Over You" and is a duet with Lisa Mahr of the late, great Cub. It really should have been a huge single for them, in a fair and just world.

Also, another winner I've gleaned from this thread is King Tuff.  Thanks for that, Grote. Speaking of Pop punk, I hear some shared Groovie Ghoulies influences in this (meaning King Tuff and the Ghoulies seem to draw from some similar pools).

Thought some of you might appreciate this:

A few weeks ago I got asked by the music editor of the local daily paper to sit in on a jury for the "Best of" the city for the "punk/metal" category, one of the many categories for the year-end awards feature they're running next weekend.

Along with the four other jurors, I picked a long list of ten in the first round, ranking them 1-10 with the converse of points applied (ie #1=10points). Once the long list was tabulated, we had a collective short list of five and we revoted for a yet-to-be disclosed winner.

But the thing is that I think all of us unknowingly ranked this grind/sXe noise trio called Six Brew Bantha very, very high, as sort of a goof...like the Jesse Jackson bit in Eddie Murphy's Delirious, only with Power Violence. But they got so many votes that the paper now has to include them in the reader's choice awards with all these artists with budgets and production and agents and such. It's an internet vote/poll type thing, so, of course, now they're clobbering everyone in that category as every hardcore kid on every message board everywhere is casting votes and now in on the joke.

The poll is on the left side. A video of them playing under a bridge with power generators in on the right. If you vote, you can see the running results afterwards.

I hope the comedy translates:

Anyways, this is a video for "Hey, Julie" some guy made. I don't know who this person is but it's a really great video. It's very funny and sweet at once, particularly if you're a dog lover like me.

Like, that track one on this seems to be smooth jazz! Though it might be some form of proto-acid-jazz of which I am unaware. It's certainly more listenable than CD 101.9.

I haven't listened to a Kate Bush album in a long time. Is this a good place to get reacquainted with her?

I love the Kate Bush album, but it is very very slow. I can't think of anything to compare it to other than Joni Mitchell's more atmospheric noodling in the late 70's, but then it's got next to no guitar on it.

I think Pitchfork (and plenty of others) ignored it altogether, which is a bummer. When I lived in Austin I was lucky to see them play a lot, and it was probably a little easy to take them for granted. Now that they have such a new great new record out it seems nuts people aren't more into it. I'm excited they're touring the mid/west this spring, though.

I followed with "Video Games" by Lana Del Ray, which mad me made at everyone for not telling me about this song before yesterday when Patrick from Titus Andronicus covered it and Andy Shernoff was talking about the song this morning on FB.

This is the expanded version my wife got me as opposed to the German import my Mom got me X-Mas '99 (which was stolen in 2003. I'm still mad about it.) I haven't listen to this album in 7 years. I still love it. 2nd favorite Ramones album.

RECENTLY LISTENED TO:

1) Plow United. They were a Philly-area pop-punk band in the 90s who were ever present at the VFW shows I cut my teeth at as a kid. They no doubt had to have opened for Ted Leo's band Chisel multiple times. I wasn't too into them as a kid and put them behind Weston and The Bouncing Souls and The Queers. But I saw them at Riot Fest in September. It was their first show in something like 15 years and they stole the show in a lineup that included 7 Seconds, X, The Dead Milkmen and The Descendents. I got the compilation they put out to commemorate their renunion and I have no idea how they weren't my favorite band when I was 17. It's terrific songwriting and is on par with the best Jawbreaker/J. Church/various DC bands style of emo-y pop-punk. I can't recommend this enough. BONUS: I think their longest song is 2:30 seconds long.

2) Even more New Order. On Jan. 4, 2012, I was convinced they were my favorite band of all-time. CONVINCED! I've done this before. This changes whenever I put London Calling or any of the first four Ramones albums on. And sometimes The Blue Album and Pinkerton when I feel like being all high school. The Starbucks I'm at right now just played Age of Consent.

3) 45 minutes of Fugazi stage banter, you ice cream eating tough guy.

Greggulator:

Have you kept up with the Bouncing Souls? I saw they released an album comprised of all those singles they released a couple of years ago and was wondering if it was decent enough to pick up. For what it's worth, I thought the Gold Record was pretty great.

How is it? I have every album through "Cipher" (I even found a copy of The Blackstone Valley Sinners album, which was my gateway into SCAC). I've fallen off the wagon, because they hadn't played in RI in such a long time and when they did recently I was too sick to go. They are one of my favorite live acts.

Bourdain tweeted about Effed Up being in Spin not long ago.

Speaking of which there seems to be some sort of Eff Tupp (Dave From Knoxville spelling) Blockade in my town. I don't see them in record stores, and not long ago I asked one to order the latest for me and never heard back (they've never done that too me before). Sure, I could get it off iTunes or order it myself, but it goes against my religious beliefs regarding local record stores.

iamaphoney - Ask The Law (unmastered) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSmlRkoy9QM&feature=related#ws)

Oh, I've been waiting for this since I was a kid! There's this weird, anonymous guy named "iamaphoney" who's sorta famous because of his series of "Rotten Apple" videos - surreal, disturbing videos that cryptically, elliptically purport that not only did Paul McCartney die in 1966, but his replacement was the reincarnated spirit of Alesteir Crowley. It's hard to tell if he really believe in it, but he puts a lot of work into his videos (they look and sound very professional, and there's even been speculation that iamaphoney actually IS Sir Paul).

Anyway, recently, iamaphoney has branched out into creating "original" music that proceeds from the same weird conspiritorial bent. He's been putting out album's worth of "songs" that are essentially Beatles songs LEARNED backward (i.e. chord progressions and melodies go the other direction) but played forward - with new arrangements, and lyrics meant to sort of replicate how the songs sound backward. The cool thing is - these songs are great! They could pass for Jellyfish or Cardinal or one of the more professional examples of ork-pop. I particularly like this one - it's "Getting Better" reversed and turned into a power-pop masterpiece worthy of Nada Surf.

The asshole was wrong.  Like a lot of children of immigrants, Tshantsch anglicized the pronunciation of his name.  I reversed the anglicized pronunciation of my German last name when I moved to Yurp, thus alienating my entire family -- but the American pronunciation of my last name means a specific type of ladies undergarment in German, so I made the choice I feel I had to.

We Take Care Of Our Own (With Lyrics) - Bruce Springsteen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3Bz0d2xm7U#ws)

What are the thoughts on the new Bruce single?

I LOVE IT! You all know a lot more about music production and arrangement than me but this has so many things to it that I'm picking up.

1) The first few seconds or so has a guitar that subtle sounds like an alarm. It kind of reminds me of London Calling a bit -- it has big marching drums and a guitar that sounds like an alarm sound, but then the melody comes in and overtakes it.

2) I love Bruce's pitch, especially when he references the Superdome/Katrina. it's down a notch (I think) from where it was a bit earlier in the song.

3) AWESOME HAND CLAPS! Such an awesome touch for a song about community togetherness. This could also show up again at the end when backup voices join in.

4) I love the repetition of the "Where's the promise from sea to shining sea" line -- it really tells you what the song is about. Times get tough for us Americans, but we take care of each other and can get past awful times.

5) I'm really looking forward for this song to be used as political propoganda throughout November!

TMBG playing "Ana Ng" on Conan last week.

YES. I watched that, then went on a binge and watched nothing but old TMBG MTV footage from when they hosted 120 Minutes and it's predecessor Post Modern MTV.

Listening to new Springsteen, which I like very much, though it's been a looooonnng time since he made an album where every track's a keeper. The best of this cuts deep and is very rousing.  Always up-to-the-minute, he's been listening to the Pogues, apparently.

As a rule, angry Bruce is good Bruce, I think.  Takes a little piss 'n' vinegar to keep his earnestness from tipping over into the murk.

Wrecking Ball is great and I completely agree with The Pogues influence. Death To My Hometown sounds like something the local band at the Irish bar in North Jersey I spent a large amount of my childhood at would play. (My aunt ran the kitchen and my mom helped her out.)

I'm seeing Bruce next Wednesday. It's my wife's birthday. I've never seen him and she only saw him do five songs at some Obama thing in Philly. We could not be more excited! We're hoping he plucks my wife on the stage Dancin' In The Dark style.

On a note of interest: We (especially me) have decided to become vinyl geeks again. We literally just set up the stereo long buried in the basement. Wrecking Ball was the first listen. I'm going to push for London Calling next, which I've never heard on vinyl. My wife might put up a stink and want Neutral Milk Hotel. But Superchunk's Foolish is also waiting in the wings.

Also: my friend just got the new Menzingers album. Pop-punk from Philly via Scranton. They are SO good.

I went to two shows this week, the first time I've done this in probably a decade. And it was worth it, to say the least.

On Wed., I saw Bruce Springstreen live for the first time. Why have I waited until my mid-30s to see Bruce live? I grew up 20 minutes from the Meadowlands (with traffic). And have spent 85% of my life within a 90 minute drive of Asbury. I've had hundreds of chances to see him but didn't until Wednesday. Even more special, it was my wife's birthday. I like Bruce. She LOVES Bruce. So we got floor seats. It was as epic as I hoped. The show was at the Wells Fargo Center but it felt like it was at Irving Plaza or The Trocadero. Bruce went into the crowd a whole bunch of times, did some big crowdsurfing thing, drank a fan's beer, etc. No one does "epic hits" better than Bruce.

There wee two hilarious things at this concert.

1) Max Weinberg grew out his hair and now looks EXACTLY like Bernie Madoff. It's horrifying.

2) Bruce did that 41 Shots (American Skin) song. There was a guy in the section near me rocking out to 41 Shots like he was being born. Seriously -- whose favorite Bruce song is 41 shots?

It was just one of the best nights possible. I love the new album a lot and it sounds great in person. Just a total show.

Then tonight (Friday), I just saw ANDREW WK at the TLA in Philly.

This was seriously amazing. The crowd was chanting "PARTY HARD" a few minutes before he came out. Andrew's band is so amazingly sleazy. There were about six guitarists on the stage and they were all apparently plucked from a Pantera tribute band and/or a meth rehabilitation facility. The background featured a giant blown-up face of Andrew WK's busted up face from his first album.

The show felt like the party scene from "Old School". People were going nuts -- diving off the stage, flying around, bottles being thrown, etc. Near the end, there were probably about 100 people or so who ended up on the stage.

All four at once, Zaireeka-style.

*The original U.S. issues on Rough Trade; odd that I found both of these** for $8.50 each just as Sub Pop's Abberant Years box came out. 

**While at the record store at which said feedtime slabs were acquired I overheard a conversation about Tesla, and then successfully chimed in when the gentlemen were having difficultly recalling the title of the band's album with "the little boy and the radio" on the cover. (At this point I realized that I was not in fact in a record store.  I was in Heaven.)  I revealed that it was The Great Radio Controversy.  The clerk asked then asked me to confirm that this was considered to be their strongest release.  I confirmed it.

I nearly died from laughter when Tom was talking about some headphones he bought and their heavy low-end (Oct or Nov 2011). "Remember when Sly & Robbie did that one ABBA album" (or something to that effect).
Being a fan of both Reggae (Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare are a rhythm section duo and producers) and of ABBA, that killed me.

I can't get enough of that Fun. album.

It's about time a band came around and aped Queen. I'd much rather here a band with a lot of Queen influences than yet another synth band doing really bad Joy Division.  The Fun. lead singer can SING. He's not Freddie Mercury (no one ever will be) but he can actually sing.

I can really be convinced that Queen's the greatest band of all-time. I usually go with The Clash or The Ramones or The Who but I have given that illustrious title to Queen plenty of times. I've listened to more Queen than anything else the past few years.

Not my favorite Band song, rendition a little stiff, and the E Street Band ain't The Band, but a lovely gesture by a great American.

Not a fan of that whole thing either, sad to say. SOOOO many indie rock bands are overdoing the tin can-reverb effect on the vocals and doing that fake-analog distortion thing....it's getting out of hand. GBV already covered (perfected?) that technique, guys; it's no longer innovative to make your records sound like shit on purpose.

Older blues musician collaborates with hip younger rock musicians in an attempt to reach their audience. It doesn't seem like a terribly huge stretch to me. True, the two don't sound especially alike, but they are both very much products of their time.
Title: Re: What Are You Listening To Right This Very Second?
Post by: cavorting with nudists on May 07, 2012, 07:24:37 PM
Well, OK.  I was thinking of the sound.  And, while both may have been efforts to acquaint younger audiences with old blues guys, the pure crassness of the commercial calculations behind each.

Mebbe I would think of the Burnside as more like John Lee Hooker recording with Canned Heat--in neither case did the older artist compromise his music too much.

Truth Loved by the fictional band The Breaks as performed by Vague Angels.

The album serves as chapter 7 of Chris Leo's book, White Pigeons. Good book, great album. "Let The Formula Forge Itself Fantastic" is a version of Ted Leo and the Pharmacists' "St. John The Divine." So many good guitar sounds and a Black Francis singing "Dig For Fire"-esque vocal approach.

I think a Leo Bros. band (Ted, Chris, Danny) would cause minds to cave in and consciousnesses to collapse.

Last week I was driving somewhere and somehow put on WXPN 88.7 here in Philly. This is the station that has given us the dreck that is NPR's "World Cafe Live". I am only really subjected to this station when I go to coffeeshops in certain Philly neighborhoods. It's the go-to station for ACLU organizers. I'm pretty sure they were ground zero for the plague that is Gotye.

Anyways, they played a really awesome song that I thought was a Modern Lovers song I somehow skipped. I put it on Shazam and discovered it was "Part Time Punks" by the Television Personalities. I always heard of TVP but somehow never heard a single TVP song until last week.

I am now playing catch-up. I feel like that if I heard them when I was in college they would have been my favorite band. And then when I went to a Brit-pop dance night thing in 2000 or so I could have requested Part Time Punks and that girl with the bangs would have smiled.

Christ, what a great record. What a great band. What great songwriting.

Of course, everybody's known this forever but me. Just call me "Mr. 20 Years Late to the Party."

Have you heard any of their other stuff? The first album Mr. Superlove is very worth your time.

And?

It's a very good album. Same tone and tenor as his last album, "Modern Times," but slightly better. He's still at the top of his game lyric-wise. And the arrangements and production are top-shelf too. Unfortunately, his voice is becoming more and more painful to listen to as he gets older, something which makes it a bit of an uncomfortable listen. But it's not so bad that it greatly detracts from the quality of the album. Taken as a whole, it's Dylan's best work in quite some time.

*** 1/2  out of ****

Recommended tracks: Duquesne Whistle, Scarlet Town, Early Roman Kings, Tempest

I think Tempest is better than Together Through Life or Modern Times. Overall there are three or four solid tracks on Tempest and I don't think you can say the same about either of the past two albums.

Well, I really disagree strongly about this. I haven't heard Tempest yet, but to my mind, Modern Times is a great album with nothing but solid tracks. Together Through Life never impressed itself as strongly on my memory, but whenever I listen to it, I get all the way through without once thinking "Well, OK, this one's a dud." Not expecting to change anyone's mind about latter-day Bob--I love him, phlegmy voice and all--just registering that an alternative view is available.

He used to do GW Bush on Ferguson and on his YouTube channel. The thing I appreciated about his GW Bush (as opposed to Will Ferrell's) was that Adomian didn't use the approach of "aw, look at the cute moron". Ferrell's shtick was funny, but it was mostly about laughing at the dumb guy. Whereas Adomian really captured Dubya's arrogance, entitlement and lack of human empathy. Adomian's really building up an interesting "heart of darkness" theme with the people he chooses to imitate.

It kind of depends what you're after. My favorites are TNT and Millions Now Living Will Never Die. Those are much more in dub/post-rock/understated territory. 'Beacons of Ancestorship' (most recent one, I believe) has a much more propulsive and live sound (where Millions etc. and even more so TNT are very much products of the studio and production). Standards and 'It's All Around You' are somewhere in between.

Actually around the time Millions Now Living came out, the guy at the record store recommended it to me, and it starts off with the 20-minute+ 'Djed', which I now love, but it was not a song to make an immediate impression.

The first album I can honestly take or leave. It comes across now as more of a collection of riffs/ideas than as a cohesive whole.

I saw them live a couple of years ago. It was a great show, I hope to get a chance to see them again sometime.

Lance Hahn of J Church died five years ago today. J Church is one of my favorite bands of all-time.

For those not familiar, J Church's sound was very much on the higher end of 90s pop-punk and wasn't afraid to steer away from that formula into a broader range. In fact, anytime I listen to One Mississippi I think it's the best pre-Green REM album ever made.

On top of it, Lance was one of the most literate songwriters in punk in the 90s. Jawbreaker and the DC emo bands rightly get a lot of acclaim for taking punk and hardcore into a serious direction in terms of songwriting and musicianship. But, damn it, J Church might be the best of the lot and people sleep on them.

Thanks for all the songs, dude!

From Forwhatitsworthipedia, "Wayne wrote approximately 3,000 advertising jingles in the 1970s which appeared on television in the United Kingdom, notably a Gordon's Gin commercial which was covered by The Human League. Wayne also composed numerous well-known television themes, including Good Morning Britain (TV-am), ITV's The Big Match and The World of Sport, BBC's 60 Minutes, and for 24 years, the UK's first news radio station, LBC. Wayne wrote feature film and documentary film scores and was musical director for various artists. Wayne published a book called The Book of Tennis and created, produced and scored eight thirty-minute episodes of The Book of Tennis Chronicles that was distributed by Fox Sports in approximately twenty countries, and was broadcast in the US on The Tennis Channel between 2005 and 2008."

I'm the same way. On first few listens, "I am not afraid of you..." was not a YLT album I particularly liked, kind of a mish-mash of a lot of styles, but now it's one of my favorites. "Fade" is great--I wish they had another 10 minute fuzz out song on there but oh well. Guess that was the point of a tighter album. I caught one of their Hannukah shows--they are impossible not to like and respect.

I picked up Gap Dream's debut album after seeing it on some best of 2012 lists. It's great.  Psych-rock? Stoner rock? The song "58th St. Fingers: is a stand out.  http://gapdream.bandcamp.com/ (http://gapdream.bandcamp.com/)

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.

As a child we used to live in an end terrace.  When the house was empty I used to listen to this deliberatly to scare myself.

I used to sit on the window ledge in the 'middle room' closing the doors to the living room and the dining room.  The reason for this was twofold. One, if a Martian came down the street I'd see him through the window and leg it upstairs to hide - however if one came down the stairs I could do a Commando Roll out of the window and be away before he could say 'Ooh-la!'  The scariest part is surely the 'Unscrewing of the Cylinder' and I often had to FFWD this part.  Last night I was listening to this part as I put the bin out and it still sends a shiver up my spine.  As I hurried back inside the house a cat jumped from next door on to our fence and I nearly leapt over the house in terror.

Thanks for that Jeff.

I would like to nominate David Essex's 'Man on top Again!' speech from this as the greatest motivational speech ever.  Better than Agincourt, Bosworth, Churchill's 'Fight them on the beaches' or Mike Bassett's half-time team talk.'  If you don't feel like wiping out a few Martins yourself after David reveals his plan then you don't have blood in your veins.

I would love to see an actual Martin meet David Essex.  A quick 'Hold Me Close', a 'Silver Dream Machine', one 'Gonna Make you a Star!' and of course 'A Winters Tale' and then gobble.

I'm listening to a bootleg of the Rolling Stones at Altamont. The strange thing is that after the killing of Meredith Hunter (which took place at the end of "Under My Thumb" and doesn't register on the audiotape at all), the performance takes off into the fucking stratosphere and is maybe the most incredible Stones concert I've ever heard, and I've heard a few.

Is it a universal truth that "Roadrunner" is on the shortlist of greatest songs ever written? I think so.

This is the "Roadrunner Thrice" version. I never heard this one until today. It's an 8 minute version of one of the definitive 2:30 songs. However, I think it's pretty much a masterpiece about the magic of being in love with the world as seen through the eyes of a kid driving in his car.

Anyways, I'm throwing this up here because it's about Massachusetts and Boston. This whole thing has hit home so absurdly much -- the guy who introduced me to The Best Show (and one of my closest friends) worked with Sean Collier, the MIT cop who was killed and knew him really well. The guys who did all this also lived a few blocks away from our old apartment and god knows how many times I walked right past their place.

Just a quick PS on 'Do It Yourself'.

While certainly a great LP I was listening yesterday on my I-pod (My-Pod).  I still own the original vinyl but don't have a record player anymore.

I know it's a familiar trope but I used to know every crackle and pop on that record.  If you played me the 'silence' in between the tracks I'd be able to tell you what was coming on next just from the various scratches that had accumulated after years of use.  Digital's killed all that.  A true loss.  Need to buy a record player.

Mind you, on the other hand after I listened to DIY I moved to 3 Feet High and Rising which I only ever owned on tape.

Thank Christ for CD's.

What I heard:

Bayonne Affair

A! P! Mike!  On the way to Bayonne-uh
I used to make a living man, pullin coors at Massa's
Now I'm the Guy for the F.O.T.
Hooray… for Depra-vi-ty.

*Chi-ku* Baby Don't You Know I'm Loko®?
*Chi-ku* Maybe Stroszek made me chuckle...

Saved Joe P from the sandy hurracane
Can't stand… Django Unchained!
I used to make a living man, pullin coors at Massa's
Hooray…  for Bayonne-uh!

*Chi-ku* Baby don't you know I'm Loko?

(bridge then repeat)

A P Mike on the way to Bayonne-uh
I used to make a living man, pullin coors at Massa's
Now I'm the guy for the F.O.T.
Hooray… for Depra-vi-ty.

*Chi-ku* Baby don't you know I'm Loko™?

(Hi everyone! I'm Pete. I know there's another thread for introductions, but I'm here because of the clip.  Have loved the show since ~2008, and I hope everyone takes this for what it is which is to show that I think AP Mike is AWESOME and the Best Show is AWESOME. And no, I don't really know what happened in the hurricane but the way it was told on the air made Mike sound, um, awesome.)

I had to research which record that was, after mending my split sides due to your witticism. It's called 'Ozone', that record is weeeeird.

Here are their best albums in order: Timothy's Monster, Blissard, Demon Box, Phanerothyme. Those are the ones I've listened enough to rank, but the rest of them are good as well, I thought their prog rock efforts on The Death-Defying Unicorn was very good, and I'm not a prog rock fan. Same with Heavy Metal Fruit, although that is, as the name implies, more of a metal album. Black Holes/Blank Canvas is a fun, straight up, no-nonsense rock record.

If anyone's even remotely interested I'll post some personal favourites tomorrow. Who am I kidding, no one cares and I'll do it anyway.

The Girl Behind Me (great name for a band eh?) has a lot of issues.  She's in her 30's but dresses like that Stephanie from Lazytown.

She's from Aberdeen so she talks like she's constantly trying to swallow a whole salmon.

And she's noisy.  Everything she does is all about getting attention.  Whether it's coughing (like she's trying to bring up a whole salmon), blowing her nose (like she's trying to expunge a salmon nasally) or shouting (erm, like she's shouting at salmon currently underwater) it's just noise, noise, noise, noise, noise all day.

What makes me laugh is she's one of those nose blowers that make a sound like a salmon blowing a trumpet (I'm going to drop the 'salmanolgy' because it's not stretching) and then in the very next breath she'll tell you that she keeps having nose bleeds.

I'm not surprised.

I've tried pointing out that she should go and see a doctor or check in to to Dignitas or something but no.

So that's what I'm listening to.

The girl bhind me.  And I'm going to bloody snap!

I'm listening to a bootleg of the Rolling Stones at Altamont. The strange thing is that after the killing of Meredith Hunter (which took place at the end of "Under My Thumb" and doesn't register on the audiotape at all), the performance takes off into the fucking stratosphere and is maybe the most incredible Stones concert I've ever heard, and I've heard a few.

I'm not sure if this occurred after the murder, but their performance of "Sympathy for the Devil" at Altamont is phenomenal.

Actually, I can tell you that "Sympathy for the Devil" came before the murder. After it (and to repeat, there is no reason to believe the Stones knew about it at the time) the setlist went:

Brown Sugar/ Midnight Rambler (!)/ Live With Me/ Gimme Shelter/ Little Queenie/ Satisfaction/ Honky Tonk Women/ Street Fighting Man

--each more incredible than the last. Greil Marcus (who was there) hypothesizes that on some unconscious, telepathic level, they agreed that to get out of there alive they just had to be so fucking great that when they left the stage, everyone would just...Move Back.

Yes, we all heard plenty of preachers sampled out of context in the 80s, but the preacher passionately reciting the lyrics to Queen's 'Get Down, Make Love' in the middle of 'Topeka Hello' is perhaps the finest use of this technique.

I like it too. I also love getting albums from Merge their record label.  They sent a complimentary 2013 compilation CD which had a song I'd never heard from a band I'd never heard of -- Love Language.

I really, really dig this song. And here's a video for it.

Very nice dfk--thanks.  That Neu! song is fantastic.  Have you ever heard a current-ish Brooklyn band--Oneida? You might like them. They are proggy and fit with Neu!  oneida-ghost in the room (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxf66mWzOfg#)

Why do you consider Traffic prog?

My definition of prog is broad. But you first. Why not? (PS, give "Low Spark" another run, I think you will hear plenty of prog elements.)

Post by: fonpr on October 20, 2013, 02:11:06 PM
I was afraid you'd raise that point. I still consider the soloing more emotional than what you get from proggers. For me, Traffic has more soul/ R&B and far less classical than my idea of prog. There also seems to be more than a touch of jazz (not fusion) in the solos of Winwood and Wood. A friend once describe the difference between Yes and Traffic as Prog-Rock vs Hybrid music.

I've stuck with that ever since.

Also, Wikipedia doesn't list Traffic as a prog band (just checked). So it's definitive: your definition is too broad.

I realize that it's probably sacrilege to say this, but I think that album would be a million times better sans Nico. I think she's the main reason why I don't think all that highly of that record.

I guess icy, Teutonic vocals really don't do it for me.

I always get blamed for EVERYTHING.

Hey, people who don't already, follow the development of my exhaustive history of rock. I am up to '71 at this point, trying to cover a couple of years per month, although admittedly people are being worn out by all the posts, especially folks who don't care about them. But if you want to exhaust the best songs from every year of rock, I guarantee you'll hear a LOT of stuff you've never heard before.

Here's 1971 so far

http://open.spotify.com/user/davefromknoxville/playlist/5jje83VZxDFWvFfbPK6EZN (http://open.spotify.com/user/davefromknoxville/playlist/5jje83VZxDFWvFfbPK6EZN)

Thee Oh Sees/Drop.  Apropos of nothing, anyone know how Tom views Nick Cave?  I assume he's not a fan.  Although Cave has a sense of humor, he's kind of hard to take because he's so damn earnest.  I don't think he's the same type of faker as Waits, but a variation of the theme somehow.  I did catch one mention combing through the archives when Wurster mentioned a super group called "Mick Nick Mick Pick Nick" or some variation of that mix, and one of the Nicks was Nick Cave. Perfect Scharpling/Wuster humor too, the more I thought about it, the funnier it became.

Ty Segall's Manipulator is pretty awesome. Probably my favorite album of the year so far.

The J.Period stuff is kinda underwhelming. Although The Nate Dog greatest hits is a fun listen and I haven't even thought about all that west coast rap in about ten years so maybe it's just me being nostalgic. The Messengers mixtape is cool for people who have never heard of Fela Kuti, Bob Marley (I envy you), or Bob Dylan before.

Has anyone else listened to the Acid Rap Mixtape by Chance the Rapper? I can't endorse every song off it, but the songs that I like are so mind-blowingly awesome that I probably have listened to at least part of it every day for the last year and a half.

Benjamin Booker's recent full-length on the way home from work. I was initially disappointed in it when I first got it a little while back, but it's really grown on me since.

Plus there is a new Screaming Females song on the internets that is pretty sweet. Not really like all the other stuff that I've heard from them but still really good. On a side note, That little mutant Marissa Paternoster big-timed me at the Ottobar once, but then 15 minutes later proceeded to melt my face off, so all was forgiven.

Mr. Gravy – very nice to see your Meade-based postings.  The three-album Chainsaw Kittens run of Violent Religion, Flipped Out in Singapore and Pop Heiress is fantastic.  It seems unlikely to happen, but it would be nice if some label (re-)issued FOiS and PH on vinyl.  I don’t think either album was every released in that format.

I'd be happy with a Pop Heiress t-shirt, but I think I'm going to have to make a bootleg version.

if you don't have the new album, it's available on heavy yellow vinyl, at a very good price.  also, the complete collection of his band prior to the Kittens, Defenestration is available on his bigcartel site for digital download (personally, I have the vinyl). http://tysonmeade.bigcartel.com/ (http://tysonmeade.bigcartel.com/)

I did indeed purchase an autographed copy of the new album on yellow.  Thanks for the link for the Defenestration catalog.  I have Dali Does Windows on vinyl.  I've never been able to track down a physical copy of the first EP, which appears to sell for at least $50 when it surfaces.

The latter; I discovered CK in 1992 when a friend recommended Flipped Out in Singapore (I believe he saw them open for the Smashing Pumpkins on their Gish tour). I bought it at a Sam Goody at the mall!  Said Sam Goody remains one of the more baffling retail outlets I've ever encountered.  It was a chain store in a suburban mall and they had sections devoted to labels like Trance Syndicate.

that's awesome!  I've always maintained that they should have been much larger rockstars than a walk-on t-shirt in the movie Empire Records.  I think, for what it's worth, a few of the Smashing Pumpkins tried, but then one got a nasty crack habit, and the other was James Iha.

me? although I got into the Kittens while living in Dallas, I spent 14 years in OKC.  I never got over the tornadoes, but it was nice having Tyson as the local disc jockey over the lunchtime hour. I don't believe I've ever head someone play so many songs I love, so often.

The Pumpkins were general fans of CK, and, yes, IHA and D’arcy had that Scratchie Records imprint that released CK’s self-titled follow-up to Pop Heiress.  I think that album is pretty good, but not at the level of the first three. In advance of the s/t album, Scratchie also released that “Grandaddy's Candy”/”Bones in My Teeth” single (I bought the CD single at Best Buy!).  G-Candy is a great track.

this morning's continuation of listening to 'nothing but' The Best Show began with the episode recorded the week that Lou Reed died, and ended with (coincidentally)Tom's announcement of the final seven shows on WFMU.

being a long time Lou Reed fan, I became a little melancholy at first, thinking back to how much talent was lost, but now, given today's rebirth of The Best show, I find myself hoping that on some sort of astral plane (even if it's one reserved for junkies and freaks), Lou is also taking to the stage.

god, I hope he plays a 20-minute Sister Ray.

I'm listening to Kazak Lullabye performed by Keiko Abe and Katarzyna Mycka on Spotify.

If you were wondering where to start listening to mallet percussion pieces, other than Frank Zappa, here's a start: http://spoti.fi/1v9JYji (http://spoti.fi/1v9JYji)

I'm always looking for more mallet ensembles, mallet jazz, and mallet rock.  This isn't rock, but meditative classical.  My percussion director told me to listen to Keiko Abe in high school and I didn't have money or know where to look but I got through marching season anyway.  Now I have Spotify and can explore her music more easily. 

I'm also into jazz by players like Terry Pollard, heard here on Seven Come Eleven:

You reminded me about my divide on love/hate for Bing Crosby.  Maybe Red Meat in The Onion, MST3K and Robin Williams "golfing with Gary" impressions, or the "My Study" scenes in Moral Orel ruined him for me-- Old Guard Patriarchy Male Knows Best While Smoking Pipe really creeps me out with his icy blue crazy eyes.  I can't bear him without an Andrews sister or a Boswell sister anymore.  It's like the female voices even out the pipe symbol memory and my psyche is ok with his golden voice again.

This is my current favorite from that ilk:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/ZJur7Yeev-o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I was so positive he was singing with the Andrews Sisters, but it's actually with Connie Boswell.  I probably had Andrews Sisters on the brain lately because I assistant directed a local community theater production of It's a Wonderful Life and we had a choral trio sing Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy a capella as an opening act to the radio version of the play.

Anyway, it's more fun to whistle than to think about.

don't let Soundcloud roll over to the next mix, unless you like Skinny Puppy (nobody likes Skinny Puppy but me).

Both the decades and location play a role. Obviously, it's an interplay between where his head was at and what musicians he had at his disposal. I love the concept that it is an Arkestra. A traveling orchestra that gathers musicians and styles of music and distributes them around the world.

The Jon Hopkins mix from earlier this year was great. Looking forward to Nils Frahm's too.

I missed out on a lot of metal when I was growing up.  Recently started getting into weird mid/late period Sabbath like

So now I'm trying a lot of metal that probably most people would think "I can't believe you've never heard that before".  Some faves are

I would investigate Celtic Frost and Voivod. Also, each year for the past several years Decibel magazine has done a special Top 100 issue focusing on a specific flavour of metal (black, death, thrash, "old-school", etc.). Highly recommended.

I don't know much about this stuff; I do (mostly) trust Omar. Listen to him.

Thanks for the recs! With those Decibel lists and Youtube, it's crazy how much of a genre you can tour through within a couple of hours. 

Also started a little into Voivod- wild, truly unclassifiable stuff.  Sounds like Albini took a bit of their glass shard guitar sound for Shellac.

I'd recommend Grim Reaper.

Great group, although I need to delve deeper into their catalog. I mainly know the first three and their finale, The Last Spire. I recommend Mr. Dorrian's new group, With The Dead.

And can't get enough of these guys present day still blasting songs like Reach For the Sky and Gates of Gehenna to small-ish crowds in Europe.  Russ North now vaguely looks like Andrew Dice Clay, but still wails real good.

Cloven Hoof - Reach For The Sky (live in Athens) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfdZjJ0rLLg#) CLOVEN HOOF - Gates of Gehennah + Laying Down the Law [live at HOA 2009] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98JCXuW1SJI#)

oh but Russ got fired for f-ing up this gig in Italy.  He says someone drugged his drink
