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 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.
The new Music Tapes album - Music Tapes for Clouds and Tornadoes (http://www.mergerecords.com/store/store_detail.php?catalog_id=543). It is fantastic.
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.

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.

The only thing I hate is that he stopped making music.
"Niobe" by Caribou, from Andorra.You might be thinking of that hoax (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/37148-update-jeff-mangum-returns) that someone pulled a few years ago."Oh Comely," Neutral Milk Hotel. Do people still like him/them, or is there a backlash now? Just curious.

I'm sure I read on Shovel.com that he's planning another album. Plus (from what I have read online) he still plays shows relatively frequently. Just not as Neutral Milk Hotel.
Robert Schneider eluded to the fact that NMH may be putting out another album sometime in the future.

Because a lot of people like them, which apparently is reason enough to hate something you once liked.

true story. apparently its a crime for being born "after the fact" and discovering something after someone who got to enjoy it during its heyday. or, you know, youre a different person than you used to be and now enjoy the finer things, making you a fake.

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?
"Moongirl," by Stellastarr, which got to me when I typed "Crystal Stilts" into Last.fm. Not too shabby!
Robert Schneider eluded to the fact that NMH may be putting out another album sometime in the future.
WOAH. I don't want to get too hopeful for this... but... I can't help it... that would be amazing!
Laurie and Omar aren't the only ones who like twee crap, I like a lot of it too. Case in point: "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken" by Camera Obscura. I think they're a pretty mediocre band, but this song is stunning:

I'm a sucker for handclaps and references to Lloyd Cole, sorry.
If I was smarter, I would set up a DAT recorder and send it into Stochastic Hit Parade.

One of my very best friends has a sister, who is also a friend, who has a daughter, who is a passing acquaintance who falls squarely under the heading "seems like a good kid." 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.
Oh, me too. Bad Christian rap = curiosity.

I had to get a cab this morning and when I got in, the cab driver had the radio up really loud and "La Isla Bonita" was on. He quickly turned it down and tried to be cool and play it off like it just happened to be on and the radio just happened to be really loud at that moment, but no way, no day, pal. You were way into the Spanish Lullaby this morning, and I caught you.

I was having dinner at a steakhouse with my parents tonight (don't judge/not braggin). On the stereo as I was leaving: La Isla Bonita. Haven't heard it in at least ten years, and now two references in one day (Wes' post and on this week's Never Not Funny)? Coincidence? I think not, sir.
I was just listening to the first ever dfk call, from the same show as the spike exchange re: carol o'connor, where he discussed getting beat up by don ho. Funny stuff!

The archive of Kenny G's show from earlier today, where he reads the entire New York Post. I hated it at first but it's kind of hypnotic.

As a joke, for my 50th, my family stuck a nice 50 dollar gift certificate inside a copy of "50 Irish Pub Favorites". It's horrible, as if it was arranged by Lawrence Welk. So every time any one of them walks into the room, that's suddenly what we're listening to. That'll teach them.
"Long Haired Lady," by Paul & Linda McCartney, which reminds me of The Best Show where the "love is long" chorus skipped for what seemed like forever. Which in turn reminds me of the night I spent in a seedy Econo-Lodge by the PDX airport, in a room where I am sure at least one person had been murdered, listening to The Best Show on my Zune in a (largely successful) attempt to ward off mortal terror.
My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. After years of not really getting all the hoopla surrounding this album, all of a sudden it clicked into place for me and now I'm borderline obsessed with it.
My Bloody Valentine is the Joy Division of GenerationXY.
(I didn't care for it at first either. The real reasoning for this was: I was wrong.)
Okay, so for some reason I'm listening to "Never Did No Wanderin'" from the Mighty Wind soundtrack.

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.

The Theresa Duncan/Jeremy Blake double suicide thing is why I just can't listen to Beck anymore. Inadvertent or not, when I'm hearing 'Beercan', I'm envisioning somebody discovering Jeremy Blake's remains.

I don't know if you intended this post to be funny, but now I'm thinking of a dead body washing up on the shore and those weird voices at the end of "Beercan": "Awwww Yeah. My goodness!" Am I sick for thinking that's funny?
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."
I like Guero and the first half of Midnite Vultures. The rest can go jump in a lake.

You guys already have the new iPod?
the genius thing is somehow connected to the iTunes store, which feels very big-brothery. I don't know if it has an algorithm that actually analyzes the content of the song, or just compiles a list based on what other customers purchased. It also wouldn't let me make a genius playlist for songs that weren't in the iTunes store.
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 am asking again.....do you guys already have the new iPod? How are you hearing genius?

'Do it' by the Rollins Band is my theme song. Not because I'm a great achiever, I just like how he screams at the beginning. Up there with 'Guilty Of Being White' by Minor Threat in the several second opening scream category.

The show is so strange in the early days. Two hours, no GOMPs, no Spike, Petey, Julie, Fredricks, etc. and LOADS of Wurster and Benjamin calls? What a backwards world it was!

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.

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?)

I just listened to the Beach Boys' 'Friends' for the first time. First impressions
1 - Is that it?
2 - Were any of the songs actually finished? I'm sure one of them fades out part way through a verse. I have bootlegs of Smile that sound more complete.

I can understand why you didn't like "Friends." I personally like it, but I think "Smiley Smile," "Wild Honey," and "20/20" are all better.

i just joined emusic even though i'm bleeding money right now. got the latest thee oh sees and just finished it. very good. think i'm gonna get the new jeffrey lewis thing, too.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.

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.

This is worse than The Rich Man's Eight Track Tape. Big Black is overrated.
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:

Bricolage by Amon Tobin. Highly recommended.
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.
If I'm not mistaken, Bricolage was awarded a rare 10.0 by Pitchfork. Doesn't necessarily make it better than any other album. Just an interesting fact.
I've found some good LP's at Half Price Books and like A basement.
Frederick owns an Amon Tobin album. Mind officially blown.
I saw Eugene Chadbourne (and his non-musical daughter) open for They Might Be Giants at the Ritz in the late 90s. Ew buoy.

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.
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.

I myself am indifferent to KISS. I certainly don't hate them. However, there are some music fans that actually do hate KISS. I know of a lot of music critics that actively dislike KISS. I think that's who Paul Stanley was talking about.

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 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.
What are the good momus albums to check out? I've got star forever and really like it.

Just snagged the LP today.
You have exemplary taste, Grote. Have you heard any of the material he recorded with the Second Quintet?
I wondered way back in the 80s: how much older is that one guy in Slade than the others? It's like if Limp Bizkit had hired Lemmy.

I believe when that picture was taken, they were 32, 32, 32, and 29. Not sure which one you think was lots older than the others.
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.
Dave, I know you're sensitive to guys looking old

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.
I haven't heard the CD yet; do my observations hold when applied to the recording?
Thank you.

Grote, that's the an interesting class idea, but I think you're going to ruin This American Life for some of your pupils. For shame.
I had a Galaxie 500 DVD, and those guys are about the alternative-est looking guys ever.
I've always liked the lyrics to Strange:
I went alone down to the drugstore
I went in back and took a Coke
I stood in line and ate my Twinkies
I stood in line, I had to wait

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.
Swervedriver satisfied my need for that stuff.
Unless that record's got something special hidden underneath, oh masterofsparks.
What's it taste like when you get to the center?

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.

That LP is oddly adored by Julian Cope. I am a massive Kiss fan but cannot break into that record. Comically, the used copy I own has a radio station's scribble on it that states "Good, but weird."
That new old Jay Reatard song "Wounded". I got the demo on his blog a long time ago and played it all the time, so it's nice to see that it's gonna be on his new LP. And the final version of it is pretty fantastic.

Totally obsessed with Brightblack Morning Light at the moment. Everything sounds exactly the same but I'm not minding.Word. I haven't heard their first one, but the one from last year, "Motion to Rejoin" is awesome. Definitely has a dulled-senses vibe to it.
i don't expect to garner much respect, but I got a random hankering for "Thunderstorms & Neon Signs" by Wayne Hancock. So that is what I'm listening to.

I saw him on that tour (opening for Ronnie Dawson). I had no idea who he was and his set blew me away.

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.

Yes! Great album. In fact, that run of albums he had from 1970-72 (Curtis, Roots, Curtis/Live!, and Superfly) is one the greatest runs in music history.
Holy crud. I just found an awesome deal on emusic. They have a new thing where certain albums only cost 12 credits. Well there's this thing called The Roots of The Cramps. 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.

Dragonslayer's Sunset Rubdown is only eight tracks and they want 12 credits. That's not a deal.
Heh. I just checked the Miles Davis offerings and Pangaea, an album with only 2 tracks, is 24 download credits.
In perusing the website it appears that anything over ten minutes in length is "album only." iTunes has a similar policy.

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

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.

Ryan's is a very frightening place to eat. I associate it with a general relinquishing of any hope for the future.
My friends and I used to have eating competitions at Ryan's in my late teens and early 20s. We would eat enough so that we would have to go back to the house and just lie there for an hour. It was awful. And so American. I say that with pride.

First listen to this one and I'm liking it a lot.
Plus I just found out they're playing on the Jay Reatard/NoBunny show I'm going to next month.

They're a blast live. I have been listening to Alice and Friends and Lemons by Ty Segall almost non-stop for the last few weeks. Gonerfest!
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.

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!

Yaaassss. I think I like this one better than Trout Mask.

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.

I'll vouch for the live concert from 1978 that Rhino Handmade put out. It's excellent.
A squid eating dough in a polyethylene bag is fast and bulbous.
I'm listening to episodes 1 and 2 of John Junk's radio play serial, airing tomorrow at 5pm EST on The Acousmatic Theater Hour on WFMU.
TMR pretty much put me off Captain Beefheart. I should probably give him another chance.
Pretty sure, it's a known fact that it was the Mothers on The Blimp. It's a Frank Zappa backing track.Geez, I forgot Clear Spot. That is a good album.

Decals is great raw and loose but more cohesive than Trout Mask.
My favorite Trout tune wold have to be Dachau Blues.
Those poor Jews.
Tangent:
There is some debate regarding the the Mothers rather than the Magic Band backing the Cap't on THe Blimp.
To my ears: quite possibly true.

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.

Oops, sorry. Thanks MOS.
Apparently Jeff Mangum plays drums on this new Circulatory System album? I either love or hate this thing. If I can make it through 5 times, I think I'll love it. 5 listens is going to be a struggle, though.

One of my favorites of this year. Very dancy, electronic pop (god i'm bad at describing music...). If you want to know if you'll like it, check out 1901. It's the song that got me hooked.
"Rocket Man," followed by "Rocket Queen," followed by "Rocket Ride."

By the way, Dance Until Your Face Turns Red is the second in a series of 3 (so far) similarly-themed mixes, so if anyone wants to hear any of the three, let me know.

Yeah, sure pal.
I got that Chain and the Gang record. Top notch!
"(Lookin' For a) Cave Girl" by Chain and The Gang from their album Down With Liberty... Up With Chains! on K Records. My vote for Album of The Year. See them if they come to your town.

I bought this today. What a snooze. When an album by 'The Monsters of FOLK"'s first track is backed by a drum machine...ew boy.
I'll give it another listen but my first impression is the lack of one.
Writer's Voice podcast:Meth Epidemic In America’s Heartland and Thoreau’s Bad Day 59:03 9/29/09 We interview Nick Reding about how the methamphetamine epidemic is eating away at rural America. His book is METHLAND: The Death and Life of an American Small Town. And John Pipkin tells us about his debut novel WOODSBURNER.
Maybe we shouldn't burn down the Meth Labs?
