What Are You Listening To Right This Very Second?

[Lookit]

I've been going back to Cornelius recently. Didn't really listen to much of his stuff after 'Point', but now's the time to fix that. Also: Prefab Sprout's 'Swoon'.

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 playing acoustic on Marc Marons WTF. Wow he's good.

I heard about him in that Sheryl Crow song.

just stumbled across j.period.com. nothing mind shattering so far, but there are a lot of tunes left to get through.

Music lovers take note:

For a mere $150, you can see JD and the Straight Shot open for the Eagles tonight at Madison Square Garden.

Recently saw the movie August: Osage County, which was completely insufferable, but I should've been warned from the movie's opening to run from the theater.  Within the first five minutes, both Eric Clapton and JD and the Straight Shot were given prominent airplay (with JD and the Straight Shot even being called out by name).

I'm getting funky with Victim's Family. Somebody has gotta listen to this crap.

Gonna cue up Nomeansno, Schlong, and the Rhythm Pigs next for a night funk punkin'.

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.

He got his start in Tampa, FLA.

Best Show, June 2013. "Tonight...we feast...on ELF MEAT!"

I'll probably be deaf by the end of the year from listening to this new King Tuff album. I know I'm damaging parts of my inner ear, but I still want it LOUDER!
