Yeah, Mat', my introduction to Crowded House is long overdue. Go ahead and start a thread, I've often thought of asking you to do one so that I'd have a sense of direction with these guys. I've long meant to explore them, their reputation is so high, I'm glad to finally be taking a taste. Joel also sent me a "Limited Edition Live Album" which I haven't dipped into yet. So far, I've only listened to the Best of once, but it's good. Not all the time, but in places, the vocals remind me of Aztec Camera's Roddy Frame, who's first album is a long time fave with me. I've alway loved "Don't Dream It's Over."

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: al on December 30, 2005, 01:20:02 PM Re the Bruce show - Sounds interesting - I love the 74 stuff, before they were famous. Not heard that one though. Heard a couple of the radio show gigs and the Liberty Hall one (with Clarence singing one about wine..). I still think the Hammersmith DVD is my favourite thing from the whole of this year. AND i haven't even managed to watch it in one go yet! Have to watch it in segments as it is just too exhausting to watch all the way through!.
I have been listening to: 29 - Ryan Adams - wonderful - his third of the year and possibly the best, though I still love Cold Roses. A Double CD of the Everly's on Warner Bros which contains the wonderful Bowling Green (one of the great harmony singles of all time I think) - plus a lot of not so good stuff though. The Doves - Some Cities - very good (got it for £2.99 in Tesco's - a UK supermarket) - REM's last album (just about OK) - £3.99 in Tesco's. Just been out today and bought Uncle Tupelo's No Depression and Patti Smith's reissue of Horses with the live version. Looking forward to them!

Can't tell you how much I appreciate it, Cap'n! I've been waiting a long, long time for this opportunity, I should have known you'd be the guy with the goods. :) The thing is, music fans in Parsippany know about the show, and they remember the club (long since gone) but I don't know a single soul who was actually there or who has heard the recording. It seems to be one of those little footnote concerts that doesn't get widely circulated. I have a couple of his gigs from early '74, and every time I listen to one, I think, "This is how he must have sounded in Parsippany." Now after all these years, the hometown punters will get a chance to hear it. I'm even going to see if the local library will take a copy - I'll do up some nice artwork - but I'm pretty sure they'll tell me they can't catalog anything that violates copyright.Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: I.

Of course we all know Tupac was a VERY rare breed, someone who influenced his influences.

I like to spread the word whenever I can. "Somethin' musta happened over ManHATTAN..." Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: I. Spaceman on December 30, 2005, 09:44:03 PM Have you seen the new DVD documentary? If not, get it. It's amazing, full of vintage footage. The documentary on Arthur Kane, New York Doll, is great too, if more than a bit depressing.

It's from the Junior Kimbrough tribute album 'Sunday Nights. I was in a record shop in Berwick St (London) and they were playing it - there was a non-stop procession of people at the counter asking who it was and trying to buy it. Also contains a couple of Stooges tracks for you fans. Anyway - the Black Keys track is just AWESOME. If you haven't heard it get it now! If I knew how to work this thing properly I'd stick it here but haven't got that far yet... check it out anyway.

If your wondering who will carry on the music Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys have left the world, I truly hope all of you will give these guys a listen. The best place to hear samples of their music is www.cdbaby.com and their website (www.davisbrothersonline.com), though their site is not 100% completed. I've bought the CD and it's just amazing, and it's clear they "get it" when it comes to Brian Wilson's music. Check it out !! ;)

I've been listening to Steve Miller Band's "Living in the USA" over and over trying to get the harp solo down -- fairly tough! Some of his early stuff (pre-"Joker"/"Eagle") is pretty damn good -- not a cool thing to say I know but that makes it even cooler! Somebody give me a cheeseburger! Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: I. Spaceman on January 06, 2006, 03:02:34 PM The Miller records up to 1974 are unquestionably great, particularly Children Of The Future, Sailor and Brave New World!

Her two other albums are a great sort-of-country-with added TWANG and she has a great voice. What makes it not country are the lyrics and attitude, which betrays her ex-punk drummer beginnings. Fantastic voice.

You don't have to be a huge fan to enjoy the latest album, and the two new(-ish) guitarists are absolutely killer. Great songs, great sound (that only the Allmans ever had), great playing and singing. I'm sure Duane would be punching you on the arm and telling you to go for it!

It's Nelson sings Nilsson (as in primary inspiration taken from Harry's interpretation). The arrangement, sound FX and singing take cues as well from Smiley-Era Beach Boys (opens with water as a rhythm section for one thing, the sound of a troubador's boat being oared through Hawaiian waters) and seemingly Van Dyke Parks, a very modular deal. Who put this Ricky-Rick song together?

This early stuff sounds a lot like really early Beatles, and they probably went through three phases in 5-6 years. All nice.

Bri Tom Verlaine asked about Brian Eno's sessions for an aborted Television LP: Quote Verlaine: The only thing I can tell you about it would be bad! I mean I like Eno, I like his records... The bad thing about it is there was a very uncool A&R guy who took the tapes back to London and played 'em for every fucking artist on Island Records, so-and like I tell that to people but they don't believe it, it happens a lot, especially with the English... I mean they ripped off a whole fucking artform from Americans. And their whole esthetic is like if they hear something that's good it just sorta comes in their ear and goes out their mouth y'know-and most of 'em have the means to like set something on vinyl really quickly, crank out the stuff, so yeah, so there's a lot of lines that are on our record (MM) that might strike some people as familiar even though the songs are like 4 years old...specifically, a lot of the lines turned up on Roxy Music's SIREN record-at least a dozen! Some I got so distressed about I said 'Well f***! -if he's gonna take THESE lines! I mean how can I prove it, I can't prove it, right? But you know... George Elliott: Quote some, I'm very familiar with that album... TV: One of them is 'My heart stopped' and the whole band stops... GE: (quoting Ferry) 'Will it stop?' (Sentimental Fool) TV: Right, which is a move we used to do in 'Venus de Milo' ...which I got bored with and changed anyway. Another thing is 'This case is closed' at the end of - see, I only heard the album twice, I got so like pissed off when I heard it I took it out and sold it (laughing) didn't want to hear it again!... And there was this thing about little birdcalls I think on one of the songs. GE: "Nightingale" TV: Right- we used to have like a (chirp-whistles imitating a bird) kind of effect on a song called 'Prove It'...another thing is on the tape I did for Eno I did a certain style of playing piano-a certain kind of harmony with two hands- which showed up in their keyboards on I believe the second song on the first side ("End of the Line") just a certain way like- but I can't claim originality for that, it was just curious that even THAT showed up... and then we had, the song 'Venus de Milo' the whole subject of it is Love is a drug, I mean there's even a line in it "It's all just like a new kind of drug" -and then there's this Roxy song (chuckling) on SIREN 'Love is the Drug'! ... Bryan Ferry's known as a thief y'know, everybody sort of knows it... I do love Siren, as well. Incidentally.

Like much great rock it's inspired by a passing train and undergirded by a bo diddley beat. The train is the opening sound effect, an amplified and very extended version of the Pet Sounds one, you might say. Forget Yoko for a moment, the train part is a stereo hi-fi found-sound-lover's delight, and very fourth dimensional, a little mind movie. The Yoko that follows is very subdued vocalwise and subordinated to the typical Plastic-Band rhythm track (the same whoever it's playing behind), a wordless train blues, a very good one and a fine piece of dynamically propelled trance music too.

This could easily be turned into an AT&T commercial, and almost certainly was; with "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing" , evidence of the thin line between sincere generational statements and advertising jingles (selling top 40 songs to the 'youth market' in 1968 or so was pretty much the same deal as selling them Coke) .

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Jason on February 01, 2006, 05:58:20 PM I dunno, it just has that Beatles (circa 1967-68) vibe, one that Gilberto Gil's version lacks. It's not really "about" anything, like most Beatles tunes from 1967-68. I still maintain that Os Mutantes' first album is a psychedelic meisterwerk that still has not received its proper due (Ian, you HAVE to listen to this band, they will FLOOR you!).

Even though I knew it, it just now struck me as interesting that Carl sings lead on both of Dennis' songs - "Steamboat" and "Only With You". Carl does a terrific job, but I wonder what prompted Dennis to give 'em up? Was Dennis' voice starting to go like Brian's?
Then I realized that with Carl singing lead on "Trader", some of "Funky Pretty", and "Better Get Back In Bed", maybe the group thought HOLLAND was becoming the Carl Wilson Show and suggested that Blondie sing lead on "Sail On Sailor". I still wish Carl would've sang (the released) lead on "Sail On Sailor"...

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: cabinessence on February 11, 2006, 12:35:53 AM "Baby" (1971 version) , Os Mutantes. I love this Caetono Veloso song whoever sings it and whenever, but the English lyric here is so cool. Part of it is just hearing Rita Lee address one directly in English telling you to learn Portuguese, but it's the translation too. It scans just like the original, but it gains in English in a couple ways. One is just the words themselves, the four strung, unelaborated, rhymes following '...Saber'/'learn to know' in the original: piscina, carolina, margarina, gasolina are much stronger as 'take a new look at the new land, the swimming pool and the teeth of your friend, the dirt in my hand...' In both, it's a call to survey the new seductive (and underlying) realities of America South, but the Os M. version of '71 really brings out the psychedelic pop advertisement aspect, Rita Lee as 'read my T-shirt' pop-siren who might be interpreted as saying 'love the swinging scene and love me', but is really saying 'see it for what it really is, and tune in and drop out with me!' It's like an ad for the band itself, a statement of Tropicalia purpose. Always so, I suppose, in all its versions, but it suits them best.

It's like an ad for the band itself, a statement of Tropicalia purpose. Always so, I suppose, in all its versions, but it suits them best. Agree, it's a great song, it sounds like they switched the meaning around, in the portuguese version I have with Gal Costa and Caetano Veloso, they sing about "you need to learn english" and I always thought it was a song about the americanization of the brazilian culture, but it sounds like they turned it around so in Rita Lee's version it becomes an appeal to the english-speaking foreigners to learn more about the southamerican culture.

This long piece, the whole history of electronic music smooshed together, was recorded at the Venice Biennale a few months back and is being rebroadcast as a onetime radio deal so I'm not likely to step into this particular electronica stream again (and I wish I'd gotten to see the visuals accompanying the audio, reportedly just as trippy), but a nice bracing Sunday morning shower while it lasts.

Well, a terrible mix, anyway -- all the laughing just kills it for me. Why couldn't they just have used the mix WITHOUT the laughing? (Oh yeah: That's what bootlegs're for ... ) Exactly.

THIS was a surprise.. I didn't know she recorded any material that was outside of the country genre... this song resembles something from a girl group of the early sixties... Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: theeponymuseudonym on February 24, 2006, 09:45:17 PM Dolly Parton, hmm?

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: theeponymuseudonym on February 24, 2006, 10:25:53 PM i dont like the idea of someone remaking a classic record like Sell Out.
it just doesnt feel right. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: cabinessence on February 25, 2006, 12:30:09 AM I like this one's scenario/experiment: a very talented person who came to the classic totally blind, commisioned by Mike Watt to remake it to satisfy a sentimental need (D. Boone's old fave) with a mystic twist ("she" was somehow the one who 'must' do this), Petra hearing it fresh and reproducing it without a clue except what her ears told her to do. Shades of "Cobwebs and strange", and a very uncynical deal I assure you.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: cabinessence on March 06, 2006, 11:01:41 PM Wild Tiger Woman by The Move. I've already stated it, others have spontaneously echoed the opinion: this is where the classic Queen sound begins..the recipe down to the last pinch of Duane Eddie mixed with castrato choruses and a certain guitar sound, unmistakably beyond a doubt but how'd they get here way first? And why didn't Roy Wood's band exploit it to death first upon discovering it. Maybe because it didn't chart too well, ahead of its time as they say. Check it out.
I'm also listening to some old Belle and Sebastian as my next track (my soundtrack has shifted since I started writing), more great baroque bubblegum. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: jdavolt on March 06, 2006, 11:14:36 PM And "Omnibus" on the other side!

What do you think of the latest Belle and Sebastion record? About half of it ranks as my favorite B&S songs ever. The other half, to me, is a little worse than DCW. It's still nice, but not as great. Seriously, though, White Collar Boy, Blues Are Still Blue, Dress Up In You and a few others are really as good as any of it. I prefer the new, slightly funky, focused, well-produced stuff to their earlier work. Everyone always raves about their first albums, but to me, that's just the same thing as people always liking the unreleased BBs stuff. "Oh, I only like the EARLY stuff. You've caught on too late..." etc. I saw them on tour again this time around, too, and must say it was fantastic--better than the DCW tour.

It's one of those songs where you expect the melody to rise up a little bit, but instead she sings it about an octave above where you think it's going, and you get goosebumps.

It just changed and now it's playing Merle Haggard - It's all in the movies. I'm going to try to listen to the whole song without trying to commit suicide this time. How the hell can people make a melody, and a minor key sound like death? It's so pretty, but so sad at the same time. I saw him live in concert a couple years ago. He's equally great live.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: rn57 on June 20, 2012, 10:10:51 AM Seeing Andy Kim mentioned in the canoe.ca review of the Toronto show is probably going to get me to listen to his version of "Baby I Love You" again.
And a lesser-known 45 of his, "Tricia Tell Your Daddy." (It was written in 1969 by Jeff Barry and Marty Sanders of Jay And The Americans, and yes, it is about Richard Nixon. Kim's version is all right, but JATA's version is really good - Jay Black's singing is as sterling as always, plus it's got Walter Becker on bass and Donald Fagen on piano in their pre-Dan days. You can find both on YouTube.) But the truth is that for quite a while, two tracks have played over and over in my head, a little like the way "Be My Baby" and "Proud Mary" play in Brian's. They're "Scope J" and "Lullaby," written and produced by Scott Walker with Ute Lemper singing. (The former is on her Punishing Kiss CD; the latter just on the Japanese issue of that disc. Both were on the OOP Scott boxset Five Easy Pieces.)

They're just artists. And it's just not an album explicitly about being a man with a confused sexuality.

Also I think "Weld" has changed my views on life as we know it. Very much looking forward to "Psychedelic Pill".
Also a lot of krautrock, mainly Popol Vuh thanks to the Herzog connection, but a few dabblings into Amon Duul & Amon Duul II territory (Amon Duul's "Psychedelic Underground" is certainly ... something :P interesting backstory though) And assorted other things, but I won't bore people with a super long post on all my musings ::) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Alan Smith on September 07, 2012, 06:40:17 AM Beach Boys/Brian Wilson Rarities - just came across a "new" copy, checkin' it for pops and scratches

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Myk Luhv on September 08, 2012, 06:45:58 PM D-D-Double post!
Now I'm listening to The Cat's Miaow compilation A Kiss and a Cuddle because I'm getting into twee pop. "Make a Wish" excerpts the famous bit of studio chatter where Brian asks Chuck if they can get a horse into the studio, and they even recorded an EP titled Pet Sounds. How anyone can think The Beach Boys aren't loved by so-called hipsters is beyond me! Before this I was listening to ...And Don't the Kids Just Love It by Television Personalities, for the same reason. That album is wicked too! edit: Now I'm listening to A Certain Smile, A Certain Sadness by Rocketship, on the third track now ("Heather, Tell Me Why") and though it's obviously more produced than the last two albums (not that this'd be hard...) it's already very good! edit 2: I then listened to Backwash by Telulah Gosh -- the first, also apparently incredibly influential band Amelia Fletcher was in before she formed Heavenly (guess I listened in the wrong order because before that I was listening to Heavenly Versus Satan!) -- and while Heavenly certainly has a hell of a lot of hookiness, they're definitely "artier" compared to TG, though not by a crazy amount. Now I'm finished up listening to Fun Trick Noisemaker by The Apples in Stereo. I don't find anything on here nearly as memorable as the albums I've heard by The Olivia Tremor Control (Dusk at Cubist Castle) or of Montreal (Cherry Peel, The Gay Parade) but it's not a horrible album by any means -- it just doesn't stick with me very long after it's done like those others did/do. Think I'll try Her Wallpaper Reverie next though as I've not heard that one yet... edit 3: After listening to Her Wallpaper Reverie for the first time I think I feel the same way about this album as I do about their earlier one. I think the wrong Elephant 6 groups get the praise; Neutral Milk Hotel isn't that fantastic either!

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: rn57 on December 02, 2012, 11:56:20 AM Well, last week I ordered the first two non-used CDs I've gotten since TWGMTR. (I used to buy a dozen or more brand-new discs a month - how long ago those days seem.)
One, which will be arriving later this week, is Scott Walker's new album Bish Bosch - which, to judge from the reviews, is his version of a comedy record. He apparently even mentions Jimmy Durante in it. (Along with Donald Rumsfeld, various historical conquerers and dictators, and the other folk he more typically namedrops.) The other record is UFO by Jim Sullivan. After listening to all the tracks at Youtube a ton of times I decided I needed to have it. Sullivan, not to be confused with the late British guitarist of that name, was a big, brawny, hard-drinking guy from San Diego who came up to LA in early '68, settled in Sherman Oaks, and started gigging. He often played in Malibu, and in the booklet with the CD there's a photo of him jamming with Ed Carter, so that, plus the highly impressive Fu Manchu mustache he sported, leads me to think he must have raised some hell with Dennis at least a couple of times. (Sullivan was also a pal of Harry Dean Stanton and Peter Fonda, and in fact shows up briefly in Easy Rider - he's the guy in the cowboy hat strumming a guitar in the commune scene.) In 1969, thanks to some money from a Texan friend of his manager's, Sullivan recorded UFO for the short-lived Monnie label. He almost always worked the clubs solo and acoustic, but the record features backing by some of the most impressive Wrecking Crew names (Randi, Earl Palmer, Lyle Ritz) and superb string and horn arrangements by bassist Jimmy Bond. I've seen many reviews comparing the production to David Axelrod's work but the overall sound also brings Forever Changes to mind. The lyrics are often as hippy-dippy as they are genuinely moving and incisive, but Sullivan's voice - sort of halfway between Fred Neil and Gordon Lightfoot -really makes the songs work. That, and he was quite an able guitarist. But the album got little notice. In 1972, it was reissued on the Century City label, remixed to make it more in line with the post-James Taylor singer-songwriter sound. Soon afterwards, Sullivan put out his second and last album on the Playboy label. The one song I've heard from this is more conventional-sounding than the UFO record, as if the label wanted to play up his vocal similarity to Lightfoot. That album also received little notice and by March 1975, Sullivan was label-less, and separated from his wife. He decided to pack up his car and move to Nashville, where he had some friends. Within a day of leaving LA, he was pulled over by the cops in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, for driving "erratically," and advised by them to spend the night there and get a fresh star in the morning - anyway, that was what they said later. After several days, when Sullivan failed to show up in Nashville, his family and friends started looking. Since Sullivan had phoned his wife from New Mexico, a couple of his friends went there. They learned that two days after Sullivan arrived in Santa Rosa, his car was found on the outskirts of town. It was locked, and inside were his wallet, guitar, and the rest of his belongings. His motel room had the room key on his dresser, but there were no other signs of occupancy, though the staff said he had checked in. Nothing more has been seen or heard from Jim Sullivan, from that day to this. He's one of the two premier missing persons of American popular music, the other being Connie Converse who vanished at almost the same time - and whose music was rediscovered at about the same time as Sullivan's. Anyway, the story - plus the photo of him and Ed Carter is at http://www.bluetoad.com/publication/?i=44337&p=1. My fave songs of his, all on Youtube, are Highways, UFO, Johnny, and Jerome. The guy's stuff is definitely worth checking out. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: halblaineisgood on December 02, 2012, 06:00:08 PM .

He's pushing it into weird places. Yeah, I think I liked it. If you want to spend an hour getting simultaneously weirded out and enjoying some of the oddest music you'll hear this year, go for it.

You're correct, they were considered a part of it, though not really via any first-hand collaborations or histories with the original Ruston / Athens crew. Below is what was reportedly a Robert Schneider-made E6 family tree from several years ago. (This is per the E6 message board, a poster from which said it was pulled from the Apples site at some point.) You'll see Schneider (apparently) included them.

Two of the first four true songs (discounting the intro, so New York City and Here We Go Again) are pretty cool.

IT ROCKS If anyone is thinking, 'well, I got it the last time they reissued it, and what do I need another disc of bonus tracks for?', BUY IT - the 'new' outtakes are actually surprisingly different, including things like Lindsey and Stevie duetting on Never Going Back again, which has bongos, brushes, piano and different guitar licks, a Stevie demo of 'The Chain' that is a completely different tune apart from the chorus (and 'Keep Me There', a completely different song where the end of The Chain comes from, but can't remember whether that was on the 2004 one), Dreams with just the Rhodes/minimal guitar riffs, a really intimate demo of Songbird... makes you wonder what they were thinking with the previous reissue. So worth hunting it down. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: I. Spaceman on January 29, 2013, 02:34:29 PM Got the megahyper reissue of Rumours in the post.

So worth hunting it down. Hey, I got the 3-disc version yesterday. I kinda regret not getting the box set version, but I figured since I already had the 2004 reissue that I didn't really need this. Maybe I'll get the box someday. Anyways, the "acoustic duet" versions of "Never Going Back Again" and "Doesn't Anything Last" are quite awesome. With "Never Going Back Again", the album version is still my favorite, but this is definitely a cool thing to listen to for something different. As far as "Doesn't Anything Last", I really dug the version that was on the '04 version, but this one is even better. Lindsey and Stevie sound great, and it sounds less like a demo/rehearsal than the '04 version. It's a shame they didn't flesh it out more, but what is there is gorgeous. I also love both versions of "Keep Me There". The instrumental version is quite interesting, it really rocks along nicely. But my favorite thing on the box is definitely the vocal version of "Keep Me There", it's just so cool to hear it as a "song", since I honestly never knew it got that far. It's also interesting to note that Christine was singing the same basic lyric as that of "Butter Cookie (Keep Me There)" from the '04 set. Stevie's demo of "The Chain" is also quite interesting. It's basically a different song than the album version of "The Chain". The only thing that it really shares is the lyrics. The "classic" version of "The Chain" actually uses Christine's chords from "Keep Me There" on the chorus. "The Chain" also takes the ending of "Keep Me There" for it's classic fade. Not to mention that the beginning riff from "The Chain" actually comes from a song of Lindsey's on the Buckingham Nicks album called "Lola". I haven't even listened to the disc with the live tracks, but I'm sure I'll get to that soon enough. Honestly, my biggest problem with the set is that they didn't use the live disc to feature a few things that aren't extremely well known. For instance it woulda been cool to hear the Rumours era group doing their live versions of "Station Man" and "Tell Me All The Things You Do". Both are superb songs written by Danny Kirwan from the Mac's 1970 Kiln House album that nevertheless really seemed to fit the Lindsey and Stevie version of the band. If they have good quality tapes for each song, I hope at some point they'd get a release. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: hypehat on January 30, 2013, 09:14:31 AM Sounds like you have all you need, I just got the big one as I wanted Rumours on vinyl and had a gift voucher from Amazon - the DVD is kinda pointless unless you were really jonesing to see 'The Rosebud Film', which is only half an hour long and ALL THE DISC CONTAINS, THE BASTARDS :angry Kinda amazed they didn't bother to licence, idk, the Classic Albums doc or do some new interviews or throw on more footage from that 'rosebud' stuff or SOMETHING.

Why in the name of Mike Love didn't they put River Deep Mountain High on it? Or any of the other banging Ike & Tina cuts produced by Phil - his zenith!

The only PS stuff i have is the Wall of Sound Retrospective, Christmas Gift, Back to Mono and Philles Album Collection and obviously there's some tracks missing from them (given the amount of overlap in the Philles Album Collection alone :P ). The River Deep Mountain High album remaster has been on my wishlist since it came out in '11, really should get around to buying it as I've heard it's dynamite. £12.37 on Amazon at the moment. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: hypehat on May 21, 2013, 05:22:07 PM Depends - the remasters are great, but then you've already got most of them on the Philles Album Collection! I picked up the Essential for a fiver from my local record shop, and The Righteous Brothers tracks alone are worth the price of admission - You've Lost That Lovin Feelin' sounds so fresh, they've done really good work on the master. Also, has those obscurer ones that I mentioned.
The American version apparently has the Ike & Tina cuts - a boardmember was able to hit me up with River Deep Mountain High, which sounds great, but if the full River Deep album was remastered I should pick that up... but was it remastered by the same dudes? Need to see if it's on Spotify or something.

It'd definitely change your life if you were in yr mid-teens, tho - it's THAT kind of album. I think I heard it when I was 16, thought it was the sh*t, but I don't think I've listened to it for years. Of course, I'd probably be able to sing along to it perfectly still. It's that kind of album IME. Besides, looking for an album to 'change your life' is a bit of a tall order!

You're right though, I was probably expecting too much. What are your favourites on the album? I've always thought 'King of Carrot Flowers 2&3' - 'title track' - 'Two-Headed Boy' to be the record's best section. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: hypehat on May 29, 2013, 04:54:12 AM Oh sorry, I thought you were listening to it for the first time now!
As far as it changing your life, it's definitely the kind of album you can get very 'into' - it really rewards deep listening which is, at least for me, kind of how I approached music at 15-16, just really soaking up a few songs or albums. That's sorta swapped as I got a bit older, like I listen to a lot of varied stuff not as intently as I listened to NMH, or The Libertines, or that first Arctic Monkeys album, or Spiritualized, or BWPS, or Joy Division, The Clash, or Sgt Pepper or etc... Downloading's sort of ruined that for me. Also weird is how self-consciously it's presented as a masterpiece nowadays? Like, the CD I have has quotes from various people on Domino on the back saying how it changed their life (not exactly common among other 'canonical' albums) and like you're saying - you go into expecting YOUR LIFE TO NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN. Man, this is dredging it up - I remember getting really involved with the long, winding acoustic ballads on there, I was listening to a lot of Dylan at the time so it sort of resonated with me on that level too. Gonna listen to it again now - forgot how kinetic it is when it starts, just the explosion of King Of The Carrot Flowers Pt2 & 3. This morning, I was listening to Reasonable Doubt by Jay-Z - blimey, that's a record. Just highlights how far Jay's fallen off though.... Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: hypehat on May 29, 2013, 03:26:09 PM Now, after having found nothing else that FITS to listen to all day, am spinning 3 Feet High & Rising by De La Soul, another record I haven't listened to in about five years.

It sounds amazing - really brutal minimal production, distorted vox - but he is/is portraying such a unpleasant character at points and it's hard to know how seriously you can take a man snarling 'I AM A GOD/HURRY UP WITH MY DAMN CROISSANTS'. If it's a joke, it's unrelenting. I think Occams Razor applies - Kanye is an egomaniac who takes far too much cocaine.

Not quite as good as 2 other solo albums he did, but I'm really starting to get into this! "A Quarter To Three" and "Apache Woman" are must-listens. In "No More Foolin'", he does a great Louis Armstrong impression.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Orange Crate Art on December 11, 2013, 10:14:05 AM Was listening to Smiley Smile earlier this morning. Switched over to Disc 2 of the '93 GV30Years box set. Then around lunch I changed things up a bit and put Rock & Roll Over from Kiss on. Currently listening to Frank Zappa's Joe's Garage ('Crew Slut' is the song currently playing). Who knows what I'll throw on later. I might have to mellow out with 'Friends'. On the other hand, if I'm energetic and still feel like working, maybe I'll put on Motorhead's 'Bomber' album. I love my records and CDs... :afro
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: bluesno1fann on December 24, 2013, 10:03:21 PM Downloaded the album "Stuff" by Bill Wyman on ITunes today from the ITunes cards I got today.
(http://billwyman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Stuff_300-220x220.jpg) I listened to it immediately after the download finished. Unfortunately by some distance this is his worst solo album. There's a reason why it was originally issued only in Japan and Argentina, which is what I realized today. The title track is quite good, the best song from this album, though that's not saying much. You can listen to it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWTrJ08IbXE It's a shame that this album is quite sh*t. I really enjoyed all of his previous albums: Monkey Grip, Stone Alone, and his self-titled album. For Bill Wyman and/or Rolling Stones Completists Only!

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Myk Luhv on January 25, 2014, 05:11:32 AM Is it possible to be in love with someone's voice? I absolutely adore Sea Oleena, an artist from Montreal (via the Prairies I believe) who records her music entirely via GarageBand. She makes beautiful (and sometimes a bit warped) ethereal pop music and possesses a voice that captures the Romantic notion of beauty: hers is a voice which raises the everyday to the divine, and brings the divine down to earth. She gets compared a lot to Grouper -- another excellent ethereal pop musician -- and you can download her two EPs (for free or by donation) on her Bandcamp (http://seaoleena.bandcamp.com/). She is in the midst of getting her third release completed as well, and her Tumblr has an un-mastered version of one of the tracks, "Paths" (http://seaoleena.tumblr.com/post/67295313094/its-raining-today-and-the-sky-is-unbearably-low), which will appear on Shallow. I think I've probably mentioned her before here but I will do it again since I really do think she deserves a wider audience. She is also currently on week three of a four-week residency at Portals (http://www.portalsmusic.com/2014/01/features/residency-sea-oleena-week-1/) (which is some sort of music blog) where she furnishes some reflections upon the world for consideration.
Listen to "Swimming Story" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ztqBV-yB0g), "Island Cottage" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut1O6ontgBY) and "Little Army" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZdUfDXWOTQ) from her first self-titled EP! Her second EP, Sleeplessness, has wonderful songs like "Southbound" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gYP8j2O5ss), "Untitled" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyHrDaDHF04), "Milk" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSzwqb2-K1E), and the song which best captures her successfully bringing divinity earthbound, "Orion's Eyes" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOgk_mx-g1k).

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Myk Luhv on February 14, 2014, 01:04:51 PM Quote from: John Dewey, 'Experience and Nature' (1925), p. 38 The most serious indictment to be brought against non-empirical philosophies is that they have cast a cloud over the things of ordinary experience. They have not been content to rectify them. They have discredited them at large. In casting aspersion upon the things of everyday experience, the things of action and affection and social intercourse, they have done something worse than fail to give these affairs the intelligent direction they so much need. It would not matter much if philosophy had been reserved as a luxury of only a few thinkers. We endure many luxuries. The serious matter is that philosophies have denied that common experience is capable of developing from within itself methods which will secure direction for itself and will create inherent standards of judgment and value. No one knows how many of the evils and deficiencies that are pointed to as reasons for flight from experience are themselves due to the disregard of experience shown by those peculiarly reflective. To waste of time and energy, to disillusionment with life that attends every deviation from concrete experience must be added the tragic failure to realize the value that intelligent search could reveal and mature among the things of ordinary experience.

It's the only Everly Brothers I own, sadly. Found it in the bottom of a discount bin at Walmart about two years ago. Anyway, it's a great collection of songs, expect "Ebony Eyes," maybe. My favorite is undoubtedly "Cathy's Clown" - a magical song. My second favorite (and one I was first introduced to by Harry Nilsson) is "Walk Right Back." I'll have to look for more of their albums. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Ovi on March 02, 2014, 01:42:29 PM ^That's the only Everly Bros album I own as well. Love all songs except for the limp 'Lucille'. The favourite's gotta be 'All I Have To Do Is Dream'.
Listening to Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories' for the first time right now. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: RangeRoverA1 on March 08, 2014, 08:10:36 AM (http://eil.com/images/main/The+Everly+Brothers+-+The+Very+Best+Of+The+Everly+Brothers+-+LP+RECORD-498945.jpg) If Don were isolated from Phil, went along as a separate picture, I'd be thinking it's Laurence Juber, former member of "Wings". Anyway, back on topic, I finally listened to Kirsty Maccoll's debut & when track 11 came on, I was gobsmacked to find out she replicated the Rip Chords' awesome cover of "She Thinks I Still Care", only "he" instead of "she", with the "Blue Moon" guitar solo & spoken bits: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQKgaPqvAig&feature=kpI heard plenty versions of it (Del Shannon, John Fogerty, Beck) & they all had the George Jones-sung melody. Having folk & country roots, one would expect that Kirsty would do likewise but instead, she picked some surf band's obscure cover (though there's basically only a lyrical similarity). So cool, that means she's actually been listening to The Rip Chords, loved their cover so much so she then decided to sing the song that way. Compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIXNJDmgCGk The latter wins by a lot - it's too catchy & the background vocals are way superior here.

I had not previously heard of any of these artists but it's an excellent slice of ambient pop music. The music is largely insular, dreamy and synth-based with fleeting female vocals laid over it. There isn't a weak track on the release but I'm particularly taken by Emily Reo's contributions...

Groovy. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: feelsflow on April 14, 2014, 01:31:29 PM Yes! That brings back memories. Loved late 70's early 80's UK Rock. "I Wanna Destroy You" "Kingdom of Love" and "Tonight" are my favorites. Is "You'll Have to Go Sideways" a rip from Honeyman-Scott's "Space Invader" or just another fad track influenced by the video game? Robin, in this period, was totally under the spell of Lou Reed and Bowie. Mostly lost touch after "Balloon Man/Globe of Frogs in the late 80's.
You have Got to check out Wreckless Eric - "Dizzy" and "A Pop Song" (Live from Countdown, Australia 1980) - both are on Youtube. Oh, and The Records - one of the best UK Power Pop bands from the early 80's. Their first album Shades in Bed was a classic. And listen to the EP from those sessions. Title: Re: Return OF The Son of \ Post by: feelsflow on April 14, 2014, 02:02:27 PM Beatles - The Inner Light. I thought George's best recordings were with The Beatles. He got so few, so they were all Top Tracks. The mystical numbers were some of his Best. The last Capitol 45, "Lady Madonna"/"Inner Light" is in my top five favorite Beatles 45s. I prefer the Mono "Inner Light" - but the stereo "Lady Madonna" Absolutely beautiful - I've never understood why so many Beatles fans dislike George's Indian-influenced songs. I like Ravi, but in small doses. After twenty minutes or so I want to play something else. Jeff Beck Group - Huge fan of any of the first four. If I had too choose the Best: Beck-Ola and Rough and Ready. I like the BB&A as well. I do not think they are any better than Led Zeppelin though. You might convince me that Jeff was a better guitar player, but I don't see that he influenced Jimmy. I believe Page was doing sessions, important sessions, before Beck came on the scene. Find the book And on piano...Nicky Hopkins. It explains some of the pre-'66 period of English session cats. Jimmy was, Beck was not. Beck's connection to Mickie Most did bring Jeff Beck Group in on the Donovan May 1969 Barabajagal sessions. Good picks Ovi.

I'll research it and get back here. Good picks Ovi. Interesting thoughts, feelsflow. Lady Madonna/Inner Light is indeed amazing. Regarding Harrison, just a while ago I was debating with myself whether I'd take his Beatles contributions over the stuff on All Things Must Pass, the album. I still don't think I've reached a conclusion. Regarding The Jeff Beck Group, I've yet to hear other of their albums, so I can't pronounce myself yet. All I can say is that these I'd much rather listen to them than to Led Zeppelin, having overdosed on the latter in my early days of 'rock' fandom. Not the band's fault by any means, of course.

It's filled with optimism & laid-back summery feel (even though I don't like summer), there are lots of instruments, including dominant fiddle & what seems to be accordion, also guitars, synths, drums. Now the vocal: whenever I listen to the song I catch myself thinking that it is strikingly similar to that of (Stephen Newcombe). You know, the guy from the Smiley board. So, do check it, fun & groove reassured. [The band rules, in general.]

(http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/66059548/Good+Morning+Judge.jpg) Quote from: allmusic Recorded in informal sessions with blues archivist George Mitchell in 1967 (except for two songs recorded in similar circumstances in 1962), Good Morning Judge captures the aging Furry Lewis in fine and relaxed form, casually spinning out some of the most hypnotic acoustic blues ever captured by modern recording equipment. (source) (http://www.allmusic.com/album/good-morning-judge-mw0000040639)Stretching out his songs in a manner he couldn't have managed on his 78s of the 1920s, Lewis plays powerfully elemental slide guitar (the title cut sounds like something John Fahey could spend his whole life trying to re-create) and sings with a force that's both subtle and powerfully compelling. Unlike a great many veteran country blues artists who were rediscovered in the 1960s, Lewis' later recordings are in many ways just as compelling as the records he cut in his youth, and Good Morning Judge finds him conjuring a deep and powerful spell with the simplest of aural materials. Superb stuff. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: JK on May 01, 2014, 10:09:33 AM THE BEST: No relation of Joni Mitchell, I take it...

While they were more glam than punk, they still had a lot of punk in them. Jim Lea was a great bass player and songwriter. And, Slayed is a hidden classic; you rarely see it mentioned in album polls.
Check out this video of Slade's "Cum On Feel The Noize". It's so cheesy it's classic. And, how I miss Noddy: http://youtu.be/rftnB33goIg Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: halblaineisgood on May 18, 2014, 02:29:27 AM .

Great album. The people bashing this are absolutely hysterical. It must be some music fan disease to hate the person who writes the songs in their beloved bands. You see it with VU fans and Lou Reed's solo career, Brian Eno fanboys who only like the first 2 Roxy Music albums, and Pixies fans who can't deal with anything after Doolittle. Frank Black is a monster talent.

No way. The Residents peaked with Duck Stab, Eskimo and Commercial Album. Then each subesquent album was not quite as good as the one it followed. All great albums, but I think Mark of the Mole, Tunes of Two Cities, and Wormwood are even better. Demons Dance Alone is also wonderful. And while they kept making albums, I think largely they became more of a theatrical/performance group once they began touring, rather than a group making albums as their main focus. The 70s albums are wildly creative and excellent, but they are also largely crude attempts at imitating Frank Zappa and a few of their other heroes. They really began finding their voice around Eskimo and the Mole stuff, which of course paved the way for Wormwood, Freak Show, Cube-E, etc. That early phase with the original lineup has a charming cockiness, but they became confident later on. That's the stuff with real depth. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: halblaineisgood on May 21, 2014, 10:01:15 PM .

Excellent. Best release of 2014 as far as I am concerned. Paul Heaton was the leader of The Beautiful South and The Housemartins for those that recall him. This is his 4 or 5th solo cd but his solo career thus far has been quite patchy. This is a killer return to form.

one of the most bacana songs ever Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: RangeRoverA1 on June 19, 2014, 08:55:33 PM Discovered this recently - oddball psych country - really good If only for the album cover & your description (keyword: psych), I'll go check it out in our local file-hosting site.(http://images.plixid.com/imager/w_500/h_/86c5f214efbf75a11e96deb5ca427bde.jpg) Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Ovi on June 19, 2014, 11:04:20 PM Oasis - What's The Story Morning Glory. I gotta say, I'm completely dumbfounded by the amount of negative, revisionist reviews this album gets, particularly on Rate Your Music. I think it's still fantastic, one of those records that almost reads like a greatest hits compilation, just like Thriller or Nevermind. I don't know if it's that revisionist. Some of us disliked them back then. Honestly, I'm more surprised at all the fuss made over them now, but I guess that's the POV of someone who thinks they're overrated, just as you seem to find them underrated. Hope you're enjoying the reissues, though. I'm sure some disliked them back then, but were the opinions as polarizing when the band was at its peak ('94/'95) as they were after? With so many people calling them Beatles rip-offs with absolute no merit? I'm actually asking, not having lived through it. Listening to Dylan's Positively 4th Street at the moment.

Big Pink has that magic only the most timeless songs have...objectively, it's the best one. The only thing missing in Richard's Organ part (Garth is on piano here), which was played in concert by Garth. Live at the Academy December 30 is just an amazing performance of the song - The Band at their best sounds like 5 musicians projecting their entire souls through their voices and instruments - that's what this version is. My favorite. The Last Waltz version has the Staple Singers, which is amazing. But Richard either isn't playing piano in the chorus or he was edited out...and that brings it down a notch for me.

It's always about the little touches when it comes to The Band.

I love it, but then again I love when Ramones do pop ballads (Needles & Pins, Questioningly, Danny Says etc). It obviously doesn't outdo the original (how can you outdo perfection?), but it showcases Joey's voice, has a nice arrangement, and fits the "do you remember..." theme of the album.

Side One: 1. Black Mass- Jason Crest 2. The Wedding Of Ramona Blair- The Mirage 3. Baby Your Phrasing Is Bad- Caleb 4. Flight From Ashiya- Kaleidoscope 5. Matrimonial Fears- The Cymabaline 6. On The Beach- Finders Keepers 7. The Cooks Of Cake And Kindness- The Californians Side Two: 1. Strange Things Are Happening- Rings & Things 2. Butterfly- The Fox 3. 3:30AM- Unit 4+2 4. A Dream For Julie- Kaleidoscope 5. Come Alive- Tempus Fugit 6. Golden Glass- The Misunderstood I just picked this up on vinyl at Armageddon Records in Providence Rhode Island. Really groovy collection of underground psychedelic 60's groups, none of which I've ever heard of before except for Kaleidoscope. I'm in the process of enjoying it right now. I really dig the classy pop of THE CALIFORNIANS, but not too crazy about the pseudo satanic JASON CREST song. Most of this album is excellent psych! Interesting side-note about the band FINDERS KEEPERS, they featured future Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: halblaineisgood on June 27, 2014, 05:06:14 AM .
Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: RangeRoverA1 on June 27, 2014, 05:17:36 AM 6. On The Beach- Finders Keepers Is the 1st song entirely psychedelic.

The guitar intro & solo are fantastic! And of course, Peter's voice (rare case when I actually like British accent). I thought it was strange that a band called Finders Keepers, who have a song called On The Beach, sounded nothing like surf music. I really like the song though. It's got that harpsichordish keyboard thing going on. And the background vocals include a falsetto singer. I can hear a little bit of a 1966 Brian Wilson influence on Finders Keepers, but they remind me more of a Strawberry Alarm Clock/Orpheus/Electric Prunes sorta Psych Pop/Rock. Cool stuff! And I agree about the intro in A Dream For Julie. Incredible stuff! My favorite Kaleidoscope song is Further Reflections In The Room Of Percussion. Total '67 Psych Out!

Awesome performance, it's too bad the reunion didn't last. Love John Cale singing the Nico songs. While it might be sacrilege to say so, I prefer it to the Live 1969 and Max's Kansas City albums. The latter lacked Moe Tucker and both lacked John Cale, not to mention that both of those albums were recorded in very lacking sound quality. It's so great to hear all four of the originals playing the best of their entire catalogue to an large and incredibly appreciative audience.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Ovi on July 13, 2014, 07:52:41 AM It's a great one for sure. I'm not the world's biggest Of Montreal fan, but some of the melodies are fantastic.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: the captain on July 13, 2014, 08:10:09 AM It's a great one for sure. I'm not the world's biggest Of Montreal fan, but some of the melodies are fantastic. Do you rank it higher than 'Hissing Fauna...' ? That's a difficult question for me. The musical highlights of Hissing Fauna... are as high as anything the band has ever done, with "Heimdalsgate" to me the undeniable gem. Obviously it is also their real commercial breakthrough (if you can call going from small cult following to substantial indie following a breakthrough ... it got them into larger venues anyway), and its personal-confessional lyrics seem to have brought something a lot of people value. But personally I don't value confessional lyrics any more than storytelling: autobiographical art is no better than third-person art. And while I enjoyed the foray into funk and electronics--begun with a little bit of controversy on Satanic Panic, actually, with people flipping out over the drum machines on "Disconnect the Dots" when it was released in advance of the album!--I'm a popster at heart. Further, there is also one's own experience with the music. It was special seeing the first Satanic Panic shows at First Ave ... 7th Street Entry, not mainroom. There were maybe 50 people there, which was a HUGE improvement over their Adhils Arboretum or interim tours, so I was pretty excited. I remember asking Kevin before the show (easy to do in those days) whether they'd be doing "Lysergic Bliss" and being astonished he said yeah, they'd do it all, including the vocal breakdown. (And they did, though the second time around on that tour they did it mostly instrumentally.) BP was newly back in the band. It was just great. So yes, I'd say I rate it higher than Hissing Fauna, but they're probably both in my top 15 of the century, so it's no critique on the latter. (And no, my top 15 albums of the century isn't all of Montreal...) Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Tomorrowville on July 13, 2014, 09:21:21 AM It's a great one for sure. I'm not the world's biggest Of Montreal fan, but some of the melodies are fantastic. Do you rank it higher than 'Hissing Fauna...' ? Agreed - I can't go very long before needing to hear, say, "Climb The Ladder" again. Some great stuff on there. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: halblaineisgood on July 13, 2014, 08:18:12 PM .

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on August 02, 2014, 03:17:09 PM It's still a fabulous album, though. Don't let your opinion be skewed by its audience (current, original, or any in-between or yet to come). To me it is the most powerful album of the past 25 years, at least as far as I can recall off the top of my head.
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Gabo on August 02, 2014, 03:24:19 PM idk... I find the closing track booooooring and I object to a lot of the lyrics
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on August 02, 2014, 03:27:58 PM Object to as opposed to just dislike? That's a pretty interesting and strong statement. I'd love to hear more.
As for the last track, I don't find it boring at all, which is funny in that I'm a pop-song lover: once something gets more than about 2:45, 3:00, I start getting pretty antsy. For me, the atmosphere (kudos to R. Schneider for his production and the band), the lyrics, and Mangum's oddly glorious bleating voice* do the trick. *It almost reminds me of that type of church singing where the congregation sings in parts, but not with the nuance or vibrato of traditional western singing. I can't think of what they call it, but basically they just bust out the notes, full force. It has a similar timbre to Mangum's. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Ovi on August 02, 2014, 03:46:00 PM idk... I find the closing track booooooring and I object to a lot of the lyrics I love the lyrics. I mean, I have no idea what most are about, but for me it's all about how they fit in with the music and how they are sung. Every visual image they paint seems to carry such emotion for the protagonist, like he's singing about the darkest of the moments he's been through, like he's revealing everything there is to know about himself and you can hear the pain he's going through to to achieve that. And then the truth comes out, but it's not what you expect - it's confused and twisted in a million forms. The protagonist is even more emotionally damaged than the one in say, Pet Sounds, but he can't even put his finger properly on what it is that's confusing him and that he has to deal with (his childhood? religion and spirituality? Anne Frank's story?). I agree with captain that it's a very, very powerful record, perhaps next to only 'Definitely Maybe' in my list of favourite 90's alums.

John Denver should be a part of every well rounded evening. Gonna have to agree wholeheartedly. The opening bars of "Annie's Song" or "Fly Away" just make me forget my worries and put me in a good place. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: halblaineisgood on August 08, 2014, 07:08:32 PM .

I took a chance on this LP. I found it at a used record store for $5. I had to have it because the album cover had such a cool psychedelic gatefold I figured this would be right up my alley. I was correct! Very psychedelic and prog. Former Kingsmen keyboardist D. Gallucci is a vital member in this band, being the writer of most of the album's material. But nothing on this album sounds like the Kingsmen. More like Yes or King Crimson. And this self-titled Touch album predates both Crimson's and Yes's debuts making this arguably the first official prog album (debatable). Anyway I highly recommend this LP to anybody who likes early psych-prog. Gallucci sure plays the hell out of his keyboard on this record. Awesome stuff! I think this is the only album this band ever made. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: halblaineisgood on August 11, 2014, 03:47:18 PM .

Hey, Ovi, I'm not trying to get into the lame Blur v. Oasis thing, but had to ask if you're a Blur fan? I've been listening to a ton of Damon Albarn and saw your post. For my money he's the most talented musician of his time, with a range going from pop/rock to opera and film scores, all of it wonderful. In a league of talent with the Beatles and Paul McCartney, really, not that the comparisons are necessary. I feel he's probably tried to push himself outside of pop/rock a bit more than Paul, too. It's a shame he's barely known in the US and doesn't seem to be viewed as much of a talent, though I find Dr. Dee and his cowritten score for Ravenous to be especially moving. Perhaps people are suspicious of his gift for melody, since many music fans have a snobbishness toward anything which seems "pop." Either way, it is their loss. He's given us an incredible body of work which keeps growing.

The harmonies on "won't you please fawn over me" are just outta this world, also the "Mike" "bum-bum" bits. If the whole album's like that, it's gonna be a real treat for me.

Just bought the SACD and really enjoying it! Sub topic for Elton fans - What are your top 3 Elton records? For me it's gotta be Tumbleweed Connection followed by Honky Chateau tied with Madman Across the Water. Now obviously Goodbye Yellow Brick Road has some of his best stuff (title track, Bennie and the Jets, Roy Rogers, Candle in the Wind, Funeral for a Friend etc.), but I find the aforementioned three more consistent throughout. I still have some catching up to do when it comes to his 70's stuff, but so far not one album I've heard from that decade has disappointed. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXO on September 25, 2014, 09:32:51 AM Some things I have been listening to:
Demarco – Bad Gyal Anthem (Explicit) (http://i.imgur.com/uCfruiv.jpg?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VZ5KO8EcKY The Dancehall guys rarely have good videos and this is no exception. There is something charming about how little they care to disguise the overtly sexual images and performances in fancy lighting or quality cinematography. Demarco has had a string of high quality tracks with great hooks and good production. I also very much enjoyed Allergic To Bad Mind Friend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mXYnP13-3Y) and his quite strange kind of cover of Lorde’s Royals, called Loyal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7ZY764TtVs). These videos for some reason or other reference the previous single before laying into the new one so skip ahead a bit for the track. Shatta Wale – Everybody Likes My Tin (http://i.imgur.com/io6WB5R.jpg?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48YW53TPbhw This fellow from Ghana has more style. Very catchy song and a pretty friendly video. The Weeknd – King of The Fall (Explicit) (http://i.imgur.com/rbGVJEU.png?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXBcwyMUrcU Comparing this video to the Demarco ones above shows just how far R&B and Rap have come in visualising what can seem like a rather superficially sexualised world. The Weeknd is at the front of the new R&B for many reasons but one of them is how perfectly he expresses his world – or the world of his character – as equal parts seductive and terrifying. This is Noir. King of The Fall is as aggressive and hard edged a song as he has released, but it still has that great hook and a Michael Jackson level vocal. Unusual references to reality in the last verse, including a reference to the producer of House of Balloons and Thursday Doc McKinney as being the Quincy Jones to his Michael Jackson. A possible and amusing knock at PARTYNEXTDOOR on the following line. Filmed in Toronto. Gallant – Manhattan (http://i.imgur.com/XdYHHtN.jpg?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uPuY4y6rjA There has been a lot of great new R&B in the last while. This includes a whole load of smaller folks making the same kind of atmospheric, fresh tone, genre-hybrid stuff that resurrected a basically dead genre. This has got that soaring chorus and Along with Shy Girls (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXX7YIC5vJU), this guy is one of my favourite guys yet to drop an album. He has released an EP Zebra which is really rather good and worth your time. Blood Orange – You’re Not Good Enough (http://i.imgur.com/v5g80Mg.jpg?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gtdpnKbT10 Not really sold on the album but this is nice. Kelela – Bank Head (http://i.imgur.com/dBDolWA.jpg?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q9LcifnTV4 Her voice has got that Janet Jackson flavour. The whole album is brilliant. Hopefully going to be one of the best in the years to come. Excited to see what she does next. Trey Songz – Cake (http://i.imgur.com/80NQncw.jpg?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r9K_8CvorI Trey Songz has kind of fallen between two eras of R&B and was unlucky to appear a bit too early to reap the new wave of artists and ideas. I always found he had it in him to do great single tracks but never quite got on board with his albums. While not a masterpiece I think Trigga is enjoyable from start to finish, with Cake being particularly good. I will also throw a recommendation for SmartPhones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sExF5B4G-U). Banks – This Is What It Feels Like (http://i.imgur.com/IumWMqM.jpg?1) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=naMvm2DUKiE Co-written and co-produced by Jamie Woon. I saw her support The Weeknd the other year. Good live and good on this album. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXO on September 26, 2014, 09:20:52 AM (http://i.imgur.com/j9vO0T1.jpg?1)

Have been going chronologically through GnR's discography and I gotta say this pretty much disappointed me. I loved both Appetite and Lies, but the only track here that surprised me positively is Coma (November Rain and Don't Cry are great too of course, but I was already familiar with those). Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on September 27, 2014, 03:05:05 PM That (and Illusion II) was the first album I ever was aware of release date in advance and bought right away. I listened to them (on cassette) straight through, devouring liner notes as I went, at my grandma's house, as she lived in the larger town where I bought them. (My hometown was so small it had no record stores.)
Coma blew me away, though it's not my style anymore.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: the captain on September 27, 2014, 03:30:20 PM That (and Illusion II) was the first album I ever was aware of release date in advance and bought right away. I listened to them (on cassette) straight through, devouring liner notes as I went, at my grandma's house, as she lived in the larger town where I bought them. (My hometown was so small it had no record stores.) Coma blew me away, though it's not my style anymore. Interesting - what was your first impression of the album as a whole, compared to Appetite? What about after repeated listens? And do you still listen to/like it? More than anything, it was overwhelming and slightly confusing. The albums cover a lot of ground, from punky to bluesy to epic to bizarre. I thought it opened weakly, with "Right Next Door to Hell" sounding like an inferior Appetite song to me, "Dust n Bones" just not up to par, and then a cover in "Live and Let Die." "Don't Cry" at the time struck me as really good, though. The whole experience was like that for me: this is great, that's ok, that's not very good, I don't know what they're doing here, this is brilliant again. There could have been an album approaching Appetite's quality--though probably not impact, just because that felt like it came out of nowhere--but the sprawl didn't allow that. It was such a weird time for them, coming off tremendous success, shuffling personnel, obviously with Axl just taking full control of the direction of the band, and the music industry suffering the heart attack of Seattle / "grunge." I can't say I listen to these on anything near a regular basis anymore. I'm not even sure I still have the CDs (that eventually replaced the initially purchased cassettes). But here and there I'll listen and enjoy something. Appetite is another story: it remains an essential album, one of the best of the '80s.

:'( Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXO on September 28, 2014, 10:07:45 AM Art Official Age is really quite good. First I like the Lianna La Haves narration and general off-beat sci-fi concept. I love Clouds as a track but even more so that Prince finally, FINALLY had the good sense to actually do something with a current talented artist who is not just some mediocre protege sleeping in his bed. Following on from the track he did with Janelle Monae and rumours that he could be doing something with Kendrick Lamar it seems that the purple bubble might be letting in some fresh air. Hell there is a modern flavour on the album overall that is entirely welcome. The Gold Standard is indeed very pleasing and could be the best track on here. I also like Time for being a kind of a modern LoveSexy ambient jam. FunkNRoll has a nice beat.
Listening to Plectrum Electrum now and is serving as a fine counterpoint. Not a stinking protege album luckily but a BAND album. They have some sauce. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: the captain on September 28, 2014, 10:17:21 AM Following on from the track he did with Janelle Monae and rumours that he could be doing something with Kendrick Lamar it seems that the purple bubble might be letting in some fresh air. Hell there is a modern flavour on the album overall that is entirely welcome. Interesting but of course he's done that before, and not always with his girlfriends (though admittedly usually). Remember Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, which had Chuck D, Eve, Sheryl Crow, Ani DiFranco, and Gwen Stefani, as well as a few people who had been outsiders but he brought into his circle on a recurring basis, like Maceo Parker and Larry Graham. Speaking of, that makes me want to listen to that album again. It's 15 years old and I don't think I've listened to it in 14 years. Anyway, I'll be listening to both the new Prince releases, as I always end up doing. Usually I buy them. Chalk it down to hometown optimism, maybe, but he's so damn gifted I always think the next album is going to be brilliant. Then usually there is a good song or two and plenty of great performances of mediocre material. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: MugginsXO on September 28, 2014, 10:30:52 AM This to be fair seems far less cynical an effort to nab sales than Rave. The thing is that he didn't write or produce the track for Janelle Monae. He just showed up and did a guest shot, he let go of his ego and served someone else's track. I don't know when that last happened but it's been a fair while. His need for control over everything has diminished his ability to produce and work with great artists thought the years. The people who have given him that complete control have almost always been mediocre talents. And none of em except The Time have had any legs. If he can learn to have a real collaboration instead of dictating from on high, he could do some special things with the people around now.
Maceo and Larry for sure but both have been - especially Larry - part of his inner circle. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on September 28, 2014, 10:38:24 AM Re Maceo and Larry, remember they weren't part of his inner circle before that era. So really, you could argue they became part of his inner circle by working with him. Maybe that becomes a chicken-egg situation, as to whether collaborators became inner circle or vice versa. The same actually could be said about Wendy and Lisa and other members of the Revolution. The legend of the time and afterward was that Prince was the Revolution, and they just played parts live, but I think history has shown that was more a real band than people assumed at times. (Not to say he wasn't the obvious genius, leader, primary writer, and performer of many parts...just not the full-on autocrat.)
As to the cynical grabs for major sales, I think he has probably come to terms with the fact that there's not going to be any such thing anymore. Maybe I'm wrong on that, but realistically that's just not going to happen again after all these years in "legend/oldie" status with younger audiences. Then again, his new band is all young women and he's not opposed to a good publicity ploy, so maybe he's still delusional in that respect. Lastly, I am depressed because I misread your earlier post regarding his collaboration with Monae (whom I love). For some reason, I was thinking you were saying that in addition to the track he helped her with on her album, that she was on his album. Then your last post made me do a double-take and reread, and you're just referring to his contribution to her album, that there is no second track (on his). Damn. Because while I was underwhelmed to that track on her album, I love the idea of those two together. Two amazing talents. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on September 28, 2014, 10:43:42 AM btw I just realized the albums aren't out until this coming week. Do you have press copies? Or leaks?
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXO on September 28, 2014, 10:47:31 AM Agreed on the change from the leader, producer, writer accepting of input to the guy who couldn't really take any. There was definitely a big change when The Revolution got thrown out. The NPG was a real band for a time but then just became the name of whoever played with him. I think that really harmed his ability to self-criticise. The stories around his treatment of Rosie Gaines are really ridiculous.
I think for a long time he only allowed people within the circle who would be compliant to his approach to things. Larry was a slightly different case seeing how much (in my opinion negative) impact be had on his life and work. To be able to jam with a great artist though who doesn't agree with his beliefs/religion/attitude to modern music can create some much needed conflict and self-criticism. He has been in that "we are the only ones making real music" nonsense for very long. Prince was best when competitive. To get back to a competitve level he needs to realise how many good things are happening in music right now. Working with Lianna is cool. Working with Janelle is cool. Hopefully he does more of it. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: MugginsXO on September 28, 2014, 10:48:54 AM btw I just realized the albums aren't out until this coming week. Do you have press copies? Or leaks?

Only a few tracks are on US Spotify and iTunes for purchase) so far, albums both out Sept 30. I think this board might need a Prince thread. There is one from 2006 or something.

The weakest of his albums but still has a good few superior tracks. The title track (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXyRlbivWek) is vicious smooth and the vocoder/talkbox outro is dead on it.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: rn57 on October 17, 2014, 09:37:17 AM Just now, was listening to Scott Walker's new album Soused, made in collaboration with Sunn 0))) the Seattle drone-metal band. After his previous record Bisch Bosch, which was more of a bizarre comedy album than a piece of music, this is somewhat more conservative sounding....although only relatively speaking. It's kind of like what would have happened if Scott, back in 1972, had decided that he'd try to compete with Black Sabbath and Deep Purple instead of doing what he actually did, which was to record two sorta country albums.

A brilliant, sharply observed and darkly comic song: Agreed. That's a great song. Nearly freaked first time I heard it. When I heard it on the radio - actually, I stopped freaking out, it was that good. If I would have been driving a car and listening to Wink Martendale I would've pulled my car RIGHT over.Video Games (http://youtu.be/KKP1WgaHpYA) I think I've said this before here, but maybe not. Video Games is one of the few songs I specifically remember first hearing. I was headed to a friend's apartment in Uptown listening to our public radio music station (The Current) and it came on just as I was pulling up. Not sure whether I liked or disliked it, I finished my horrific parallel parking and sat there with the car on until the song ended. Because it wasn't the final song of the set, they didn't say who the artist was, so I had to look it up afterward. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Ovi on October 26, 2014, 06:39:53 AM Dig the Lana Del Ray convo happening.

Something very unique about it.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: the captain on October 28, 2014, 04:57:59 PM Because it wasn't the final song of the set, they didn't say who the artist was, so I had to look it up afterward. I enjoy these experiences even more than when they do say who it is . Delayed gratification + the thrill(or mild curiosity) of discovery = a nice waste of timeAgreed. They are also increasingly rare. We know more, sooner, and get into (ocean/deschanel/musgraves-hating) frenzies when we're not fully gifted everything immediately. There was (and is) some fun in slower, step-by-step discovery.

I still love The Shepherd's Dog the most--ranking it among the best 10-15 albums of the millenium, probably--but have probably unfairly neglected this. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXO on November 01, 2014, 12:11:56 PM I think the last one is better. I do not care for the false funk rock near the end of the album. The appeal for me of Iron & Wine was never really the quality of song writing but the particular atmosphere evoked by the recording/vocal style. Not an ideological thing but nothing since the first album has entranced in a similar/superior fashion. Saw him live and he had unnecessary sax honking all over. A bit distressing.

I thought I&W was fine earlier on, but to me the fuller arrangements and shinier production were a boon. (As I said before, though, I must admit The Shepherd's Dog takes the cake so far.) The thing for me was and is that what I get out of his music is not really connected to its relative sophistication. I am not perturbed by the change in sound because I was never invested in him in that way. The first album had a sound and atmosphere that is worth more to me than his ability or development as a song writer. It has an identity. It has an importance in my brain, he does not particularly. A selfish thing but a firm reason why I wouldn't pencil in the time it takes to hear what his idea of rock sounds like. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on November 01, 2014, 06:33:57 PM I don't think it's selfish, we all have to make those decisions and prioritize. There's no way to listen to everything and there's no sense in wasting out limited years in what we decide are fruitless pursuits.
Frankly I just went the opposite direction. I wouldn't have bothered with another earlier-sounding record, but Shepherds Dog wowed me. The past few, less so, but I enjoy his exploration. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: MugginsXO on November 01, 2014, 06:46:04 PM I still enjoy some of his other stuff, for sure and I don't regret listening to any of his albums but I'm not going to ruminate on them either. I am happy that the first did it for me and the rest mostly didn't.
Here is something I hope anyone on that fresh Dancehall tip or just fresh beautiful pop music is enjoying: Demarco - Wine Down Low http://youtu.be/I6miNuKYB9E Perhaps the best guy in Jamaican music right now.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXO on November 04, 2014, 07:25:39 PM No I agree, just that any personal anxiety about over or under rated is probably unnecessary.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: bluesno1fann on November 04, 2014, 11:05:23 PM Great choice, Rei. Any go-to favorites on each? If you like Colin's voice, you should check up his 1st solo albums, circa early to mid-70s. And/or songs under Neil MacArthur nom de plume. I quite like in particular She's Not There, Summertime and Work N' Play from Begin Here and Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914) and Time Of The Season from O&O. Also, Imagine The Swan which is not on either album. Odessey in particular is one of those albums that is good all around and is hard to pick favourites aside from the standouts. I also heard that Rod Argent had a successful solo career too. Wouldn't mind checking it out (Colin's and Rod's) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Ovi on November 04, 2014, 11:28:11 PM A lot of Eminem lately.

I dunno. It's a pretty damn good album!

It's got the classics. It's got a little bit 'o everything. Fats Waller has been a very rewarding experience for me. First heard him on the radio by chance. It was his 1943 recording of "Ain't Misbehavin " . Blew my mind. If you haven't heard him yet I'd highly recommend it. Especially if you like old-tyme Harry Nilsson /Paul McCartney songs, and that type of thing. Fats Waller was a genius and is a giant of American music. We would not have what we have without him. So I'll second halblaineisgood's recommendation. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXO on November 07, 2014, 05:56:33 PM I really hope people are listening to Demarco.

One perfectly musically realised line over ten verses that avoid libel /relating to a real human life/cloak pissing on an ex in soapy political arse. All day. All night.

Not my usual taste, but an interesting album featuring neat tenor sax and electronics. Rather noir-ish. Cool artwork on the cover too. I've never been able to paste images on this message board for some reason but look it up...it's cool stuff. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: feelsflow on November 22, 2014, 12:09:24 PM (http://thestrangebrew.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/theAerovons.jpg) Judd, I gave this a listen the other day while watching Bonzo clips and working on my Listening thread post. Were you thinking of picking this for the Listening thread?. You put both up around the same time. Not too bad, but very derivative of the Beatles and the Left Banke, with a bit of Nazz and Small Faces thrown in for good measure! Bonzo band was a better choice.Psychedelic album from the late 60s that wasn't released until 2002. It's very good. :-D btw, did you notice the lead singer posting he had made some new recordings and was looking to get a new record deal? Using youtube as a spring-board to a whole new career in his 70's. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Dudd on November 22, 2014, 12:29:33 PM Yeah - "Resurrection" itself doesn't make too much effort to distinguish itself from "Across the Universe". The excuse I've read is that they were recording in Abbey Road around the same time as the Beatles were doing the Get Back sessions and Abbey Road, so they might have overheard a few things. I think "World of You" and "Train" are great cuts though. And I haven't heard much Left Banke or Nazz, so it's probably no wonder I like this lot.
I don't know anything about that (and can't find anything) - you mean Tom Hartman? Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: feelsflow on November 22, 2014, 02:20:33 PM I'm not sure who Tom Hartman is. The lead singer? The one I'm talking about posts as TheAerovons, and posted two messages. One about a coming EP. Another that Billy passed away and Mike had a stroke. He does not say who he is. Since the posts were a year ago, maybe the EP did come out. I was joking that he would be in his 70's. I'd never heard it until you posted. Saying someone sounds like the bands I mentioned is a compliment, not a put down.
If you have not checked out Nazz or the Left Banke. You should. Right away. If you like this, you will love them. Nazz modeled themselves after the Yardbirds on their early material, and to an extent the Left Banke and Laura Nyro for their second long-player (including the stuff that ended up on Nazz III). Both bands worshipped at the feet of the Beatles. I also could have thrown in a Zombies reference into the influences of the Left Banke. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: feelsflow on November 22, 2014, 02:41:00 PM btw Judd, "Across the Universe" was recorded in February 1968. Only overdubs and remixing after that. It was in contention for the b-side of "Lady Madonna" - the single they would leave for release while they went to India. George won the vote in the end, putting "The Inner Light" out into the world. This is my fifth favorite Beatles 45.
If the Aerovons were recording at Abbey Road they could have heard "Across the Universe" easily enough. The Beatles were approachable. And acetates were surely floating around. Otherwise the number didn't come out until December 1969, and if I understand this right, the Aerovons' album is 1969. So they would have to have heard it before that. What month was it released? Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Dudd on November 22, 2014, 02:54:36 PM Ah, that's right. :wall
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll certainly check out Nazz at some point soon, beginning to get into Rundgren. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Lee Marshall on November 24, 2014, 07:59:05 AM Nazz modeled themselves after the Yardbirds? I don't/didn't ever hear that. Great little band too. I appreciate their slower, jazzier Hello It's Me. In fact I knew that version first. Something newer you might enjoy? The Vinyl Kings. 2 GREAT albums likely still available through CD Baby.
Been listening to lots of Joe Bonamassa lately. Absolutely excellent guitarist...electric or accoustic. Not a bad vocalist either. First hit the stages back when he was 12 and accompanying BB King. Well thought of by many of the guitar 'heroes'. And...he's prolific. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: MugginsXO on November 27, 2014, 07:15:28 AM (http://i.imgur.com/QmSYegg.png)
The best thing she has ever done, easily. Consistently exciting and top tier. Brilliant! Drake and Frank Ocean feature along with a hearty selection of the best producers working today including The-Dream, Noah "40" Shebib, Timbaland, Pharrell and on and on. The deluxe edition makes me want to finally buy the video version of the album. I can't wait to see what she does next.

My last.fm page will show how much I've listened to it on my computer alone. I'm obsessed. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Dudd on December 29, 2014, 12:56:33 AM I only heard it yesterday! The Who aren't usually my sort of thing, but I was very impressed with Quadrophenia. It's such a huge album.
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Niko on December 29, 2014, 01:14:32 AM It's the way the musical themes come through that make it so good. You don't quite realize what has been pushed through until the album finishes and you have all those little pieces that appear in multiple songs spinning around in your head. A lot of double albums have the problem of starting strong and losing momentum towards the end, but side 2 starts almost immediately with "5:15" and that ridiculously good horn part, which pops up again later.
I'm also looking at all these incredible songs and ideas that Pete Townshend put together, completely on his own. Tommy had two songs written by Entwistle, Who's Next had one, and Quadrophenia has none. I have so much respect for him being able to disappear into his room with a tape recorder and write everything without any help - lyrics, melody, arrangements and all. I believe Brian Wilson to be the most creative musical mind in pop music, but he had collaborators on many of his greatest and most accessible songs. It's interesting to me how different artists capable of creating incredible things work differently, and how they differ as a result of their methods. anyway, props to Townshend for his songs and ideas. I'll be seeing a Who show in September. Looks like it'll be a greatest hits show and not a show where they do the entire Quadrophenia album live like they have been doing recently, but that's okay. I was checking out recent setlists and they played some cool stuff, like playing "A Quick One, While He's Away" for the first time since 1970. Maybe I'll get lucky and get some stuff like that.

It's no wonder that Quad is the album Pete is most proud of, given the work he put into it. It definitely is the band's most complete rock opera - on Tommy they were supposed to add strings and the album works 10 times better when performed live anyway, while Who's Next lost so many great songs when it was reduced to a single album. But there is not a single thing I would add or modify on Quadrophenia.

I heard an interview with this artist--whom I'd never heard before--on NPR this morning and really enjoyed the character-driven (actually obituary-driven), semi-orchestrated (sometimes) indie pop sung by this Ben Foldsish voice (especially on "The Atom Bomb"). Turns out the album, The Afterneath, is available for purchase at any price from his website.
Here is a brief story and some links.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Lee Marshall on January 13, 2015, 10:09:51 AM The Three Window Coupe lp. The Rip Chords? Ya...if the Rip Chords were primarily Bruce and Terry. [and often...the Wrecking Crew...or the Fantastic Baggies or other Beach Boys or Jan and Dean associates...] Some good stuff here. Well done. And IT SAYS ... reading the extensive liner notes ... that 'they' had a recording of Help Me Rhonda in the 'can'... that it was pressed and ready to be delivered to radio and to the stores ... when Brian walked into Terry's office and said that he had re-recorded the 'Today' version and was going to release the new Rhonda as a Beach Boys single. That said...Brian wanted to know what Terry "could do for him"? Terry killed the release...and he and Brian basically became friends as a result of that meeting.
Funny that Bruce kind of hid as a KEY component of the Rip Chords...and then went and hid as a member of the Beach Boys for a couple of years...at least on record. [contractual stuff] Album highlights include... Three Window Coupe This Little Woodie Hot Rod USA Beach Girl My Big Gun Board One Piece Topless Bathing Suit Wah-Wahini "The whole thing started back in '63...with Jan And Dean, The Beach Boys and Me." True. So those who don't give Bruce the credit he deserves...should take note. His 50 years with the Beach Boys [mostly on/occaisionally off] began in '65 with California Girls. I would go so far as to suggest that the Beach Boys could [especially considering their association, as well, with Terry] and should incorporate Rip Chords songs into the set. Hey Little Cobra, 3 Window Coupe, and One Piece Topless Bathing Suit for sure. Not a bad album. REALLY good harmony group...if you only consider the interlopers...and some outstanding songs which compare favourably with the BB's and J&D material of the era.

Been listening to this a lot lately. It's the best album of his I've heard so far. Only one song about murder! Although there is a (really, really great) song about a guy on his deathbed, "Lay Me Low", and an incredibly powerful song about a victim of child molestation, "Do You Love Me (Part 2)". Can't completely escape the darkness, I guess.

Sort of in transition, but still just fabulous. Some virtuosity, some clunkiness on occasion, and on this album a little less of the other side of Zappa that I tend to like less (the jokey stuff--not that I dislike it all, by any means), plus before the electronic instruments and sound choices that started up a decade or so later. I'm going to listen to this album now.
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Lee Marshall on January 19, 2015, 03:54:55 PM Checked out the latest Joe Bonamassa album 'Different Shades of Blue' today. More collaborations in terms of writing yje material than I'm used to. A more horn driven sound than I've heard him even consider before but heh!!! Neil Young did one. Colin James has done a few. Joe Bonamassa is one GREAT mother-guitar player. His albums right through these past 10-15 years are fan-freakin-tastic. This one will grow on me I'm sure.
I've seen him perform LIVE twice. The guy delivers. Hell's Bells. BB King had him up on stage and playin' with him when he was only 12 for gawd's sake. Now Joe's closin' in on 40. He's the guitar hero's hero...literally.

Utopia improved greatly when Kasim came in bringing a more Pop flavor to the mix. The thing with Initiation is that I think it's supposed to be a concept album about Todd abandoning pop and moving into experimental music. And it is so wanky. The first side is a bunch of songs with Todd telling you how the 'real' him wants to innovate, how he was born to push the boundaries. It sort of gets progressively wankier, because it culminates in an 8-minute ballad in which he tells you he "has to go now", and clumsily drops a bunch of references to his biggest hits ("Can't you see the light shining in my eyes/ 'Cause it's just one victory!/ Cause your dream goes on forever!") all while belting it out without a hint of irony. It seems as though it's all supposed to be buildup for the second side, the synth instrumental, and because of all the self-indulgence and talk of the innovation he wants to achieve, he's effectively promising the instrumental to be this really special, mind-blowing piece of work that marks his new direction. And as it turns out... it's really vapid and underwhelming.I never got the impression Todd was this up himself. But yeah, looks like he came to his senses pretty quickly with Faithful. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: feelsflow on January 24, 2015, 04:04:47 PM Todd had done well with 1974's Todd Rundgren's Utopia in the USA charts, getting up to #34. Much better than the wizard album and Todd - "The Death of Rock and Roll" was his kiss-off to the critics. I believe the side two thing was the first time he worked with Roger Powell, who had put out an album of similar synth in 1973.
I liked "Fair Warning" quite a bit, live he would do it solo on twelve-string acoustic. If you've never seen the video/DVD he made for The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect, I'll link it. This is a really great video he made in 1983 to sorta tell his life story. It's the Long-player version, but he did a new vocal track. http://youtu.be/A0WDFanLlgg That video/DVD is also the only place you can find this (except youtube - they've got most everything): http://youtu.be/pLslLszuue8 Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Dudd on January 24, 2015, 04:21:29 PM The first Utopia album is very nice, and I still must listen to RA (Ra? R.A.?) - is that any good?
The Tortured Artist link isn't working for me, but the Elpee's Worth of Toons video is great! I'm not terribly fond of all the music videos he made in the 80s (the one for "Time Heals" is pretty appalling), but I love this. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: feelsflow on January 24, 2015, 04:46:16 PM I fixed the link, typed an O instead of 0. The "Elpee's Worth of Toons" is a vintage promo, not 1983. I tried to find the whole video on youtube with no luck. It might still be around on DVD. It's very much worth having. "Time Heals" video was the number 3 or 4 video ever played on MTV. I like it. The first time I ever saw it was at a Todd show. He ran it as Utopia played it live.
I guess if you like the first Utopia album you might like Ra. I liked the other 1977 Utopia album Oops! Wrong Planet a lot more - the long synth numbers are held in check, it's all shorter Pop songs. Search out the live Ra tracks, it came off better live. "Magic Dragon Theatre" has a great period video. For me the first really good one is Adventures in Utopia (1979). After that all Utopia albums are fantastic. Try Oblivion and P.O.V. - they Rock!

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Lee Marshall on January 30, 2015, 04:32:58 PM I listened to the Rival Sons 2014 album 'Great Western Valkerie' today but I was too busy to really give it the concentration required to HEAR it properly. I did hear some catchy stuff though. Needs a proper listen. I liked a fair bit of their 2012 LP 'Head Down'. Same with Neil Diamond's new one 'Melody Road' It struck me as one long time Neil fans would probably enjoy. I thought that I was one of those...at least peripherally. I guess not. It needs another proper listening...if I can muster up the courage to try it again. I didn't hear anything that caught my ear the first time through. On some of it he sounded pretty old. Some of it? Not so much. Too early to write it off yet.

I saw this movie when it came out, but never noticed this song. So freakin good. Some very BW-like stuff happening in the bass line.

Something like that. Not bad at all. I'd recommend it. All I know is...it's new stuff. Anybody ever hear of this guy?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And now I'm listening to Eric Clapton and friends' tribute to JJ Cale...'The Breeze'. Very nice. Great playing. Nice variety. Some quality individuals lending their take and talents to the mix. But no one could 'do' 'Mama Don't'? I was quite the JJ fan. So...by and large I appreciate this album a LOT. Odd in a sense...'cause if there was EVER a guy who had NO interest in becoming 'a star' it was JJ Cale.

I'm listening to Skylarking today. Grass and The Meeting Place are my two favorites. Super Supergirl is damn great too. All around incredible album. Produced by Mr. Rundgren. Played this last Saturday night. Judd, I think "Ballet for a rainy day" and "1000 Umbrellas" work best as a set of tracks together. I never separate them when making comps. Hard to separate any of the tracks really. The themes flow perfectly. It's so psychedelic, this album is for sitting in the speakers. a great place to go. Mike, Great to see someone singling out Colin's work as a favorite, "Grass" and "The Meeting Place." "Big Day" "Dying" and "Sacrificial Bonfire" - some of Colin's best writing on any xtc project. It's hard to grade a top five. I'm working on it. Andy was turning up with so many interesting songs too. "Summer's Cauldron" would join "Ballet for a rainy day" and "1000 Umbrellas" as my top three Andy songs of the bunch. Other than some of his own records, I think this was Todd's best production. He brought a lot to these sessions, ideas and playing. Beyond the tension of making a record with Andy in the room, I feel Todd was really having fun doing this. It's quite a magical creation. Both Colin and Andy learned a lot from him, and benefited from him being there. Reminds me of the Hall and Oates record and his work with The Tubes, where it really felt like he was part of the group. You can hear it all over the place. Todd leaves traces of himself on all his projects I guess, but it's special to me that I got to hear him work with xtc.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: KDS on April 15, 2015, 08:57:22 AM Finally got around to listening to the new Queen compilation album - Forever - I got for Xmas.
It's got three "new" songs that were recorded in the 1980s, and two discs of Queen ballads - some of which were hits, some album tracks. I'd file it under "For completists only." But I'm a completist, and that's why I got it. Speaking of which, I also finally broke down and shelled out the money for the Made in California box set.

Wings' Wild Life. Deeply flawed and I ought to hate it, but it's a real grower.

I love it to death..First listen. Hey Low, I gave it a few more listens and I like it. I still feel that I need more time with it - seems like one of those records with many details to absorb. At first I was a bit turned off by the sound cause it immediately made me think of all those insipid, post-2000 indie-rock bands it influenced. I love the lyrics on the first track, and the vocal on the last. Powe Out has become one of my all-time favourite songs. So much emotion in that one, and beautiful message too. And those guitar freak-outs. "And the power's out, in the heart of man/Take it from your heart, put it in your hand". Wow.

Emitt Rhodes' debut album. From this I'd say he sits nicely alongside other great singer-songwriters of the early 70s... the music here sounds to me like a cross between hippie-era McCartney and the Raspberries - lightweight but hook-filled and skillfully crafted pop. He also performed every instrumental part and every vocal on this, pulling it off with as much expertise as Rundgren. Good solid power pop, this. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: alf wiedersehen on August 03, 2015, 10:43:23 PM (http://wp-images.emusic.com/assets/2011/09/summerteeth.jpg) If you're keen on the Beach Boys, Big Star, abstract writing, mood swings, and anti-depressants, this album comes highly recommended.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on August 07, 2015, 09:10:02 AM The Shins' 2007 album Wincing the Night Away, for the first time in probably five or six years.
A few things occurred to me. First, it's better than I remember it. I was very disappointed in it upon its release, feeling it was both substantially worse, song-wise, than its excellent predecessor, Chutes Too Narrow, but also an unfortunate sonic departure. But second (and relevant), it's not really much of a sonic departure. As was the case in the reporting of albums like Kid A and Yankee Hotel Foxtrot upon their releases, history shows them as more in line with their creators' tendencies than was initially thought. Wincing now sounds just like a typical Shins album with a few examples of programmed synth added in. Really, the entire Shins catalog sounds pretty much of a piece. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: undercover-m on August 07, 2015, 12:08:46 PM Wincing the Night Away is one of my favorite albums... from the Shins, or from anyone, really.
Yeah, the Shins' early stuff is different than their last two albums. But it's a wonderful album to get into. Mercer's lyrics are top-notch on this album, and I love the way some songs transition into each other. I think I like the A-side better, too, although Turn On Me is such a beautiful song (with a weird music video...). Something about this album cheers me up, no matter what mood I'm in. Have you heard their first album, when they were called Flake music and not the Shins? You seem pretty music savvy, so maybe you have ;D, but that's a fun album. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: the captain on August 07, 2015, 12:32:30 PM Have you heard their first album, when they were called Flake music and not the Shins? You seem pretty music savvy, so maybe you have ;D, but that's a fun album. Yes. I wasn't aware of it in 1997, but I sought it out after getting into the Shins. It's OK. Sounds like what it is: an early album by someone who doesn't quite have it all together yet. Not as well crafted as their later work, to say the least, but you can hear them in there. It's more historical artifact than album for me, though. (That sounds like a shitty thing to say, but I don't mean it as an insult. Just the nature of the thing.) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: undercover-m on August 10, 2015, 03:22:24 PM Yeah, it's not the greatest album of 1997 or anything, and I totally get what you mean. I mean, the early/demo years of a band tend to be that way. :P

Saint Motel's Voyeur. The same band responsible for "My Type," which is overplayed but still a fantastic single. Seeing them in concert today. I'm stoked.

The first album is the only worthy thing he did as a solo. Totally jumped the shark after that but for a few stray tracks like Hey Deanie and She Did It. All four Raspberries albums are completely awesome in my book though. Their debut was the first album I ever bought because of Go All the Way.

I know it's not their best album, but I don't think it deserves the negative reception it got (according to my friend and lukewarm reviews). Now, I'm not super familiar with their older stuff as albums, although I know a handful of songs. This is an impetus to get into more than just their fast few albums. I'm missing Building Nothing out of Something from my music library. I'm finally listening to Strangers to Ourselves for the first time all the way through. I knew and enjoyed a good handful of songs before tonight at least. Anyway, this is just me rambling... Not sure if anyone cares about the ramblings of a not-hardcore MM fan. A few things, though: The Ground Walks is a fantastic song. The Best Room might be my favorite song off of the album. I'm still not tired of Lampshades on Fire. Strangers to Ourselves still gives me shivers because it brings me back to when I saw them live and also cellos are wonderful. So a bad album? I think not.

Fats would make it seem gentle , at least, whereas Connie Francis just sounds like a bitch.But I love the melody and the rest of the lyric is perfectly fine , and want to learn it. I think I'll change the last line. I don't want to feel glad that anybody's sorry/fearful/angry. Pshh. Don't tell ascap. Not that anyone cares. Or I will actually perform it .

The "Trout Mask Sessions". The Magic Band went through the mill to get there, thanks to a certain person, but they sure could nail those complex tracks note for note every time. I believe Zappa was dumbfounded by the fact that they breezed through them in one or two takes in the studio. I'm not a fan of live recordings generally but there's a truly blistering live version of the box set's title track on disc five. And plenty more goodies on board!

It was a real highlight of the very good musical year 2004 for me. So solid, start to finish. A lot of fun. And it marked a major transition from the recording version of Of Montreal, going from more of a full-band approach as had been taken on The Gay Parade, Coquelicot..., and Adhils Arboretum to a mostly solo Kevin Barnes project.

Things like Pour Some Sugar on Me sound like super dumb pop disguised in heavy metal licks. And that drum sound... Def Leppard may have peaked during that era, but they were never a glam metal or hair metal band. They actually came out of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (MWOBHM) movement of the early 80s, which also produced Iron Maiden and Saxon. Producer Mutt Lange took them into a more commercial direction with classic albums High N Dry, Pyromania, and Hysteria. While a polished group, there are elements of AC/DC, Thin Lizzy, and Queen in their work. And that drum sound on Pour Some Sugar on Me was from the kit that was build to be played by Rick Allen, who lost his left arm. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: the captain on March 11, 2016, 11:17:31 AM Never a Def Leppard fan, myself, but I do stand behind "super dumb pop," as a rule. Whenever something is as hugely popular as they were, someone did something right.
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: KDS on March 11, 2016, 12:46:39 PM Pour Some Sugar On Me was kind of a "super dumb" song as the band wrote it in about five minutes as an extra song for the Hysteria record. The fact that it became a hit even mystified the band a little.
But, there was a lot more to Def Leppard than just that song. Like them or not, they had a ton of well written commercial rock songs, and that's why they continue to be a big concert draw every summer. I, for one, am glad to say that, for the first time really since 1999, there's new Def Leppard material worth a listen.

Tried out this one today, my first Shins album. For some reason I'm turned off by the guitar/vocal style on a lot of these songs... I can't really explain it, it's just a sound I've heard before and it doesn't excite me. The songs are probably good, I just need to get past my dumb prejudice.

I didn't realize Andy Fraser had died too. His masterstroke of a contribution to "All Right Now" was to stay silent during the verse. Fraser is responsible for some of the most enlightened bass lines in pop. "Wishing Well" is one fantastic song out of many.

I won't disagree with the assessment of many of EC's solo albums, especially mid 80s onward. But, IMO, Disraeli Gears is a great album. I think EC works best in a band ie. Yarbirds, John Mayall, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Dominoes. And he did some great work with those albums. Also, vastly underrated, Eric Clapton played on Roger Waters's first solo album - The Pros and Cons of Hitch Hiking. Probably Eric's best guitarwork of the 80s.

I mostly enjoy the album cover. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: alf wiedersehen on April 12, 2016, 04:57:52 PM I'm going through my newest purchases.
Bach's Bottom by Alex Chilton is a great album for the simple reason it's great fun to listen to. It doesn't aspire to be the peak of artistic expression; it's just a thing someone made while having fun in the studio. I hope his other albums--whenever I manage to find them--more or less resemble this one. 20 Jazz Funk Greats by Throbbing Gristle. Maybe I've been misinterpreting its reputation, but there's no reason to fear this album. I was expecting scary industrial music, but what I heard was cool, early electronic experiments. I mean, yeah, the song subjects are bizarre, but the music ain't bad. Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash by The Replacements. More punk than I was expecting, but it's good. It's good. I was surprised to hear how talented these guys are at such an early stage. Paul Westerberg is already a great, consisten songwriter, and that guitar player of his, Bob Stinson, surprised me a couple times with his ability. I'm predicting big things between me and this band. Suicide by Suicide. This album is sooo cooool. You would think an album made up of keyboard and vocals would get tiresome, but it just sounds so good. It sounds so right. Every song plays like it's a soundtrack to a tense moment in a movie. Even in the diverse, weird NY punk scene, this album is unique. The only thing stopping me from listening more often is "Frankie Teardrop". That can be a tough one.

Lo and behold, it easily lived up to its reputation and immediately cemented itself as a favorite. Then, lo and behold again, it turned out most of that '70s and some of the '80s stuff was also great, and I had been an opinionated asshole up to then.

I feel like one of you has posted this before. I want to know why some music resonates with me, and some of it doesn't. Or why it takes me so long to realize how great some music is. For the longest time I've been kind of resistant to electronic music, and I'm making serious efforts to just get over that because I feel like I'm depriving myself of a lot of fun times (i.e. concerts/festivals). Maybe that makes me a conformist, although I genuinely like sorta similar artists like Washed Out and Ducktails. Anyway, my best friend showed me this song called "Girl" by Jamie xx. I guess it's the closing song to his album, but I really liked it (made me feel like I was drifting away). I can listen to this so far. Expanding my horizons today.

Big fan of CCR,plan to hear the last albums and John's solo. Did the autobio say the reason of going to start solo career? Met the BBs/BW? Is he fan?I'd rate John up there with Brian as one of the great American songwriters in history.

CCR was locked in a terrible deal with Fantasy records. The band broke up in the early 70s because the other three wanted to have more of a chance to write songs. But, those songs were subpar. John just didn't get along with Tom, Stu, and Doug. John also seemed to have a pretty big ego. Sadly, John lost pretty much all of the money he made in CCR due to poor / shady investments. He finally took up a proper solo career in the mid 1980s. I'm just at the part where he's writing the songs for Centerfield (1985) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: RangeRoverA1 on May 09, 2016, 11:00:30 AM I see.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Please delete my account on May 09, 2016, 11:40:40 AM Can't get enough of the final Cocteau Twins album, "Milk and Kisses" at the moment. Was kind of lukewarm on it when it was first released, I see to recall. Don't know why. Back then I would have had no clue of the significance of the title "Rilkean Heart" as I'd never heard of the poet Rilke back then. At this point they had started to put actual meaning into their lyrics, though they're still hard to decipher.

I know Tom Fogerty put out some albums, but from what I hear, it was nothing to write home about. John Fogerty was the voice, lead guitarist, and songwriter, so he basically WAS CCR. Even more so than Brian was TBB. Stu Cook and Doug Clifford put together Creedence Clearwater Revisited, but I think their only releases have been live albums of old CCR songs.

I can't really handle complete silence if I feel really anxious about what I'm doing. Royal Blood is pretty hardcore compared to what I normally listen to so it helps me... stay awake and focused, I guess. I'd listen to quiet or instrumental music if I was reading or studying though. It really depends on the person and the type of work and the type of music you listen to. Some studies show music helps with work, sometimes, it doesn't.

The gist is, she says she was more passive then and is more intimately involved in all aspects of music now, and he's not interested in receiving "5 pages of notes." And she ends by saying something like "he's very sweet and he tells the best stories and he's a gentleman." It definitely feels like "next question."

Some of you have inquiring minds - I don't, I don't have goal to chase modern music, only selectively and if I feel like it. I'm just not interested and don't see what I will gain from that.

I'm starting to dig into their catalog. I recently bought all the CDs from the Gabriel years, and have gotten through Foxtrot so far. But, I've also been skipping around my Platinum Collection set with the Phil Collins stuff, particularly Ripples and Home By the Sea.

Played it again this morning. The sensational Sound of The 60's. Donny L matters. Analogue, now in the digital world. Love "Oklahoma Rain" "I Live in a World" "It All Depends on Everything" "Hole in Time" - A Psych-Rock Trip. "Black Magic" - the sound of Strawberry Alarm Clock. "You Must Stand on Your Own" - a good take on Lennon's style in 1973/1974. Don't forget to check the instrumental reprise. Two more neat instrumentals: ""A Grand Stop in the Best Direction" and "Begin Thee Again (Movements)" Who are the people in your neighborhood? - yes, Donny likes Mr. Rogers. groovy. It's all worth your time - I listen to Magic Hero vs. Rock People all the time. Be sure to check out the videos - designed to look like the 60's as well.

How is possible for someone of his long standing in the music business to be so nervous, though? I suppose nerves are a good thing in a way, no chance of'phoning in a performance.

Thank you for not using the name I have recently been dubbed.These artists----and, I regret to say, Vampire Weekend----are where our musical tastes tend to drift apart somewhat. All three make little or no impression on me. Protomartyr and Chastity Belt are a different matter! (Any other Hardly Art-ists you'd recommend?) I'm still out on your current favourite----waiting to hear her latest album complete, I suppose... That's a shame, john. Any love for the Shins or Fleet Foxes or Tame Impala at all?

If they do it again, tell them again! Don't wait for them to read it over here. :lol I don't really know the music of the Fleet Foxes, but I like Tame Impala very very much, one of the better modern bands - great live, too! I own one of the Shins' albums, and like most of what I have played over the years. I've gotten to know Bubbly's moods well over time, and his musical likes and dislikes, so - his library if you will. I love the Everly Brothers. If you look around, I've posted about it here.

Nice after dinner music - that's what I just finished in my time zone. "Oh God, Where Are You Now?" - that's the Sufjan I love. From my favorite album by him. It was the first one I discovered, so maybe that has something to do with it. But probably not. Beautiful album. I got into Sufjan around the same time I got into Sam, 2004. These past dozen years, it's this type of music I am drawn to the most. This particular track is a very good example of that. The States theme turned out to be a gimmick, but did we really believe he could do all 50? naw. It's too close to party-time for me to comment right now. Got some Stevens notes I've been saving to put up at PSF. soon soon... It's Saturday Night, and that means Fun!

I'm now enjoying the heck out of Enjoy Your Rabbit. Now that's more like it!

I think he's absurdly talented, both lyrically and musically (including instrumentally and vocally). However, I also think he's a horrible editor of his own work. Even what I consider his best work, Illinois, I think should be about 15-20 minutes shorter. Inevitably for me the music ends up failing in the old maxim of "leave them wanting more." I wish he were part of a band with an equally talented counterpart whose sensibilities brought some real creative tension.
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: feelsflow on November 12, 2016, 02:56:23 PM I like Sufjan. I need to get my notes posted on his music. Instead, I have been listening to Voxtrot all afternoon. Working at getting some notes up on them.

Cool fun video with Karen Carpenter playing drums. It says 1971 but actually it's 1976. Karen wears infamous "Lead Sister" shirt; check the funny backstory about it in the link, No. 13 (Richard answered the fan questions).

While driving home I heard this and it deeply affected me. Is this how it sounded in the coffeehouses back in the day? Wonderful folky song with the jazzy instrumentals. Also, I identify with the lyrics of the chorus.

It's also good music to work to, as it's predominantly wordless and has no radical changes in dynamics.

The same hesitation as yours, perhaps? The solo on "The Night Watch" is one of Fripp's best, in my opinion. And "Trio" is pretty well perfect...

I see she works with Paul Coady, who also worked on Future Islands' album Singles, a great favourite of mine. And stuff by Beach House, I see. Is that how you found Springtime Carnivore?

What am I listening to right now? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7AFLBl5_Ek&list=PLps3GYi7JSm9Z_IFNw-WzmhPEa1Jb0pVX) I made it thru "A Piece of the Sky" for the first time, all 19 minutes! Was okay. Don't know how often I might play it, but melody is there. The last four minutes sound like a new song is starting...I hear a new influence, Basement period Dylan. I jumped over to spotify, amazingly Dylan is another artist that won't let his music be part of youtube, and tried to figure out what track it was reminding me of... best guess is "Clothes Line Saga" - or maybe something else from Dylan's '67-'70 music. I was playing Self Portrait last Saturday, maybe it was something from that. I'll play that part of "APOTS" later, and try to figure it out. Does mean that Swans have more than one influence. Then, your other link caught my eye. Must say, you have a good ear for fresh Pop music. And Hungry Kids of Hungry is very good Pop! Another of your link-to-a-list deals, I let it play all the way thru. Couldn't help it. So many of the tracks hit-the-spot. I thought the track you linked was good, but not one of my very favorites. Those are: "Eat Your Heart Out" - sure to grow with further listening. "Arrest This Heart" - not so different than something Sam might do. "When Yesterday's Gone" and "Sharp Shooter" - nice early 80's feel. "Do Or Die" - reminds me of Midnight Oil, an old 80's band popular in my MTV years (you know, back when they actually played music). "Set It Right" - ahh, a Brisbane band. Now the Midnight Oil reference makes sense. Didn't know that 'til I got to the track and saw it mentioned in comments. I've checked out more Aussie bands since meeting Josh and Alan, than in any time in my life. I didn't take any more notes, some of them were playing while I did chores in the entertainment room. When I sat back down to make my post, I noticed John's comment/link to "Set It Right" - their first single. Will check the year for that and do some reading about them. Had a second listen to what was maybe my favorite today, "When Yesterday's Gone" - this is very xtc, maybe from 1983/'84 period. What did you think of their cover of the Tame Impala track? Went back to see what Rolls Bayce sounded like. Played "Don't Get Me Wrong", "Inside Out" and "On My Own" - not as good as HKoH, but okay. I'll have to check more, later. Too bad the band broke up. Thanks again for the link. Great new find. I'll be all modern music lover before you know it! ;) Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: feelsflow on March 09, 2017, 02:29:21 PM Hey Mari, what are those last two albums? It's easier to ask than to start hunting about... I made the last one, Springtime Carnivore's debut self-titled album, linkable. Click on the album to listen.I forgot to do that with Swans's To Be Kind. however. I revisited some songs last night (the shorter ones, because that's easier). I don't know if Bubs has already convinced you to listen to them. I'm gonna have to click on your linkables more often. I thought it was just a picture. Springtime Carnivore is very likeable! Might take me a few listens to get into her vocals, but the music is solid. Swans... Still looking for a track I like well enough to comment on. Will keep trying. This one's pretty easy to like: "No Cure for the Lonely" by Swans (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdSLW-NJmtQ) I listened, and can see why you like them. You seem to like deep gruff voices so much. I remember when we met you liked Lee Hazelwood. Do you still listen to him? Not very often, but I'll sometimes play a song or two. I'm always jumping around to something new--you know how I am.

This one does----so far: https://youtu.be/QVAtiJNkuRQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baggy Like Madchester, it all seemed so manufactured and heard it all before. I didn't care for any of it. Not surprised you could find nothing of any worth by Happy Mondays, they were crap. I guess on drugs they thought it sounded good. Not to say being from Manchester wasn't a good thing, they had good bands in earlier times. And one popped-in in the early 90's. No, not The Stone Roses, though somehow -I never "heard" the connection, influenced Oasis. Like The Jam, power in action! I loved Oasis from the very first note. I own everything they ever did on vinyl, Cd and DVD. After the break, all I can say is the brothers need each other. "Acquiesce" - one of their best b-sides from a band that made incredible b-sides. I'll post two versions. This one is very early and raw, where the only thing they needed was a better drummer: https://youtu.be/jb20YGMb9O4 days past when "Acquiesce" was later released as a radio single in America to promote the Masterplan album (a clutch of single b-sides) in 1998, it reached #24 on the US Modern Rock Chart, based on radio play. Let's go back a couple of years, to 1996, when they were rock solid, and had that new drummer. I only got to see them once, this is from that tour, tho from Main Road: https://youtu.be/zixWZBWSt_w at the top of their game Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Adult Child on March 18, 2017, 12:37:34 PM The Stone Roses are one of the greatest bands ever. There's no doubt in my mind that if they hadn't fallen apart so soon they would've been the massive group out of Manchester instead of (or along with) Oasis, and would have been much greater than Oasis. Their influence on Oasis I think had a lot more to do with their attitude, and the fact that the Roses came from Manchester probably gave Noel hope.
The Stone Roses influence on Oasis was there musically in the early days though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNNsmRNBJRk Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Adult Child on March 18, 2017, 01:40:11 PM Don't know how many people here are fans of Big Star, but I just found this cover Alex Chilton did of 'Don't Worry Baby' while recording demos for Big Star's Third.

In fact, I'm more familiar with Noel's guest vocal on The Chemical Brothers' "Setting Sun" than with anything Oasis have done, with the possible exception of "Wonderwall".
As for The Stone Roses, their first album is one of the best things to come out of the UK----ever. Every track a winner (except that one about the Queen, lol). Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Adult Child on March 18, 2017, 02:01:24 PM In my opinion (and probably the opinion of a lot of people), the really great Oasis stuff was their first two records (and all the non-album songs from that period, collected on The Masterplan). Their third album had great moments ('Stand By Me', 'Don't Go Away', 'All Around the World') but from then on they had the occasional good or great song ('Go Let It Out', 'The Importance of Being Idle', 'The Shock of the Lightning', 'I'm Outta Time') on albums of mainly middle of the road (trying to be complimentary) shite.
But their first two albums (especially their first) are both incredible. This is still and always will be one of the greatest songs ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qTPl5Do8mQ Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on March 29, 2017, 05:47:42 AM More cross-pollination, I'm afraid.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: undercover-m on April 04, 2017, 02:07:51 PM I shall check out Rolls Bayce----thanks for the heads up. And I have. This is nice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NijEJNGzBF4 Maybe there's an RB album on YouTube to follow it up with... Oh, boy. What in the world have I been listening to lately? So, uh, I guess this is an album (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aF0g-2SeoMM) everyone else has heard, and since I didn't know what to listen to on this Tuesday afternoon, I just went with this. I'm quite a fan of the album cover and the first few songs. in the past week or two or so: In Mind - Real Estate / current favorite: "Stained Glass" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT_QOV-iHFg) This album is nice. I think they've expanded their sound a bit; with every album they sound a little less... "same-songy." This album seems to get better with every listen. My Favorite Things - John Coltrane / current favorite: c'mon, now (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWG2dsXV5HI). I remember last summer when I first started hanging out with Bubs, we were record shopping, and he slyly placed a copy of this album in my ever-growing CD pile. I think I was intimidated by the 13-minute long title track, but perhaps an increase in lone bus-riding time has led me to listen this song (and album) enough to really appreciate it. Coltrane and co. really take you on an auditory journey on this one. Yours Conditionally - Tennis / current favorite: "In the Morning I'll Be Better (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mpf0qymjZvU)" & "Modern Woman" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6O0mQ5Smxs) I thoroughly enjoy this lady's voice. This husband and wife duo can certainly make dreamy, coastal tunes. I guess my main complaint is that the only song that really sweeps me off my feet is "Modern Woman," and it's the second to the last song. Nevertheless, the album as a whole is lovely to listen to, a summer record indeed. Heartworms - The Shins / current favorite: "Painting a Hole" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX6qKIHDKQ8) I'm pretty sure people who are trying to describe me often throw in the phrase "that girl who is unnaturally obsessed with the Shins." I guess they're not far off, and as an unnaturally obsessed fan, I have to say I'm quite dissatisfied with their newest album. Here I was, expecting James Mercer to reach new heights, further expanding the their sound beyond what they'd done on Port of Morrow (listen to the title track to understand what I'm saying). The teasers on instagram always sounded mesmerizing and cool. While the first few singles that were released weren't unlikeable, I didn't find myself listening to them on repeat like normally would. And don't even get me started on "Mildenhall." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq8wC7LFyQs) I mean, good grief, is this still a Shins song? Did Mercer just open up a children's book and start singing? If I ever buy the CD, I'll probably just make it one of those songs iTunes automatically skips. All that said, some tracks are pretty enjoyable. I like "Name for You," "Painting a Hole," and "Fantasy Island." "Dead Alive" is pretty good, too, although that's been out for some months now. "Third of May / Ōdaigahara" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GqgNebPm50) - Fleet Foxes Guys, I am pumped. Stoked. Amped for this new Fleet Foxes album. Maybe I'm premature in stating this, but this will probably be my favorite release of the year, seeing as the Shins were able to disappointment me. I quite like how things get a little weird around the 3:30 mark, and, Lord, if those last 2-3 minutes aren't some of the most beautifully produced sounds Fleet Foxes has yet come out with. It seems that Robin Pecknold used a motley of instruments on this record, and I'm excited about that, too. Oh, and I'm going to see them at least once this year. They just released a trailer for their album today, and I'm particularly a fan of the bit at the 1:07 mark.

Besides Never Forever, there's been The Sensual World, The Red Shoes, Director's Cut, The Kick Inside and The Dreaming. Since then I've moved on/back to Sparks. Seems they recorded a rock opera, The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman, excerpts from which I listened to on YouTube a couple of days back. Well worth checking out! This is ths openng track from my most recent Sparks listen, the 1979 album №1 In Heaven.

Too many of the others were way to common "things to listen to while pushing a shopping cart" types. I played some of his other tracks, and will investigate more later. He is a name I have heard for years, without giving it much of a chance. The Gas track had very interesting visuals, but musically goes on too long. I know you like experimental/electronic/ambient. Not the kind of thing I would sit back and play with my eyes closed. I've tried to get into Krautrock/kosmisch music before when Josh brought up Can. More disturbing on my nerves, than relaxing. I listen to some of Eno's stuff as background sometimes, but think his Rock music is much better. I love Roxy Music. Wish he would have stayed with them. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: feelsflow on May 11, 2017, 10:26:14 AM I've tried the Fleet Foxes before. Must have been something Mari suggested.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: feelsflow on May 11, 2017, 11:06:39 AM Mari's other pick turned out to be of great interest. Jay Som is an artist on the horizon. I played the whole album. This is not so different than what Jesca Hoop does. I love Swing Out Sister, and the Som Band reminds me a bit of that. This could grow on me. It is instantly likeable! Morning music - a walk in the air. I have listened to some of the Turn Into album from 2016 - not official. Some unfinished music, and stuff I guess you could call outtakes that didn't make the debut.
That was in the early afternoon, a couple of days ago (when you first posted). After dinner and some Tv-time, I came right back and played a bunch of the live stuff. As I said to you that night, Mari, I have some videos to put up, but the need for sleep got in the way. Will get them up soon. "Bus Song" - after playing the album, I played some of the tracks she and her band have on youtube live. This is one powerful song. Love the oriental flavor. Live, I see they are playing guitars, but listening, some of it sounds like they are using Japanese instruments. I have yet gone looking for lyric sheets and what they are using on the studio sessions. It might be a dulcimer. You can get that kind of sound from one. I keyed in her name, and couldn't find very much about her or the band. Oo -#3, "Remain" - like mid-70's Joni...excellent. "Billion Dogs" has my toes tapping. Great guitar at the end of "One More Time, Please" - yes, more please. "Baybee" - watched the official video, then a live version. Very very good tune. I liked or loved every track. When I got to the last one, "for light", I had something on my mind to pull up next... Boz Scaggs' "Can I Make it Last (Or Will it Just Be Over)" from 1971: https://youtu.be/g_insxlS5jU The last thing I watched that night was not from the album. "I Think You're Alright": https://youtu.be/m7ym6I3qQhM So, a good find, indeed. I will put more of my found videos up at PSF. Those folks need to hear this.

Shows how well I read your (or anybody's) posts, Will. I only discovered the live stuff yesterday. Apparently her band consists of Oliver Pannell (guitar), Dylan Allard (bass) and Zachary Elsasser (drums)----or it did in March (http://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2017/03/27/meet-emerging-new-artist-jay-som-on-new-hot). I've also seen the name Daniel Mandrychenko listed more recently as her guitarist instead of Pannell. Time will tell... I see they're in Amsterdam this month. If I wasn't such a stuffy old stay-at-home... Mari's struck gold again. :=) [Edit: I see I have a valid excuse not to attend the concert, namely a prior commitment.] Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: undercover-m on May 15, 2017, 12:32:35 AM Glad you two have attached yourselves onto Jay Som.

I'm surprised that didn't draw me back to listen to them more at the time.
Anyway, it seems like most of their music is only available digitally, which is sort of a bummer because I'm on a CD-buying kick right now. Same goes for another recent discovery, Belle Mare.

If the seamless transition between "God Is Love" and "Mercy Mercy Me" doesn't wow you, you're not cool enough to listen to this.

I'm cool. Amazing! Although I must confess to being more a fan of Marvin's earlier things. This is a huge favourite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIEYnAtnCkQ Marvin Gaye was one of the finest singers in the latter half of the 20th century.

The best album so far (I think) is The Strange Idols Pattern and Other Short Stories, which includes this extraordinary instrumental (although the whole album is stupendous): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJZHacjfJhU Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on June 27, 2017, 01:48:39 AM Math rock has always intrigued me (bands like This Town Needs Guns), although the music is sometimes hard to listen to.
It seems a major precursor of the genre is the band Massacre. One of the YT comments on their album Killing Time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1kPa1PTajU) mentioned another album by an act rejoicing in the name of Laddio Bolocko. At first I thought it was someone trying to be funny but this band really exists. And they sound great! From that album, The Strange Warmings of Laddio Bolocko, this is the opening track, "Goat Lips": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUstAWRvO30 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laddio_Bolocko Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: JK on July 03, 2017, 06:38:34 AM A while back, YouTube and/or Google+ made some modification that deactivated all the embedded videos at my other board. Since then the three of us have been slowly repairing them, in my case with standard YT links like the ones used here, just in case it happens again.
The positive aspect of going through everything, for me anyway, is that I keep unearthing really good stuff I'd forgotten about completely.

At some point in my lurid past I wrote this album off. I'd always felt (and in fact I still do!) that side one of its predecessor, Da Capo, was the climax of Love's musical career. Well, I listened to Forever Changes yesterday and today for the first time in half a century and ye gods what a breathtakingly beautiful album it is.

The collection is simply titled "Bossa Nova" released in 2004 by Universal.
Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: NOLA BB Fan on July 08, 2017, 06:40:27 PM I listened to Forever Changes yesterday and today for the first time in half a century and ye gods what a breathtakingly beautiful album it is. I suspect it will take less than another half-century before I listen to it again. :hat Embarrassed to say that I was pretty much totally unfamiliar with Love, except for their version of My Little Red Book. Decided that it was time to listen to Forever Changes. Although it didn't have quite the immediate "Wow" effect that Odessey and Oracle had for me, I found lots to like and even to love about it. I'll have to give it another listen. (This was the case also for me in first hearing Pet Sounds. Had to listen to it multiple times to truly fall in love with it). Interesting to read that Arthur Lee was an alum of Dorsey High School (along with Mike Love, Billy Preston and Marilyn McCoo). I've gone through just about all the "classic' 1967 albums, just have to listen to Are You Experienced. I'm familiar with a number of songs on that album already. Of the ones I've listened to, the only one that I couldn't get into was Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. The first cut, Astronomy Domine, was great but then I started to feel uneasy listening to it. My dog got scared listening to the beginning of one song (think it was Pow R Toc H), so I donned earphones. One of the songs had a section where the music would be one side, then switch to the other. Had to take off the earphones; didn't want to end up like Syd Barrett!

It was by Broken Social Scene, whom I only knew from the soundtrack of the brilliant film Snow Cake. And it's great so far. Called You Forgot It in People:

I abandoned '77 after four tracks but I'm really into MSABAF (about halfway through now). It certainly benefits from Eno's production and the more dance-based approach. But the songs grab me more as well. On "Artists Only" there's a short drum fill which Byrne sings along with----fantastic!

Quite a character too, as was Dan Hartman. But unlike Hartman, Vincent hasn't always been the easiest person to get on with. He was with KISS for a while (until they fired him). This is "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" from the debut album by the Vinnie Vincent Invasion, who surely qualify as a "hair band": ;D

Although Chuck's stories are absolutely ace, they're aimed more at an older generation (Chuck was approaching 30 when "Maybellene" hit). Eddie was singing for the kids.

It's not a song that I hadn't heard before, but I feel like I'm hearing it for the first time...every time. I picked up the 4-disc, 134 track 'The Eddie Cochran Story' when it was released in 2009. Up to that point, I was aware of his music but hadn't really listened to it. I'm finally digging in now.

He composed nothing during his last thirty years, something he shares with (of all people) Captain Beefheart. This is the version I played (purchased in 1966): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcHA8LL8YYA Note the build-up from 2:16, up to and including the arrival of the trombones----utterly sublime! Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on October 07, 2017, 06:25:44 AM "You're So Vain" is a fantastic song, beginning with the awesome bass flourishes care of Klaus Voormann. (And it's Mick Jagger's finest hour.) Klaus was explaining in the recent BBC documentary about Carly's album No Secrets that he was just "warming up his fingers". Having learned to play classical guitar, it came very easily to him. Producer Richard Perry insisted it should be the intro to the song! Hearing it for the first time back in 1972 was a bona fide WTF moment, like first hearing Entwistle's solo on "My Generation"...

From side 1, this is "Sandy's Blues": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBjG3w0UYrs And right now I'm listening to this, an LP I used to own many moons ago: (http://www.hifiandmusicsource.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/01-usatumblr_inline_mojmngazyz1qz4rgp.jpg) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on April 19, 2018, 04:21:57 AM LAGWAFIS is an album about loss. Spiritualized's mastermind Jason Pierce's long-time girlfriend left him to get married in secret to a singer in a then-massive band. The day I bought the album, someone drove their car vigorously into the back wheel of my parked bike, so I can sympathize with Mr Pierce. ;D
Everyone should have heard this album at least once in their lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbjqPgV7xo8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladies_and_Gentlemen_We_Are_Floating_in_Space Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: MugginsXOXOXO on April 21, 2018, 11:06:24 AM Some music I've been enjoying lately:
FKA twigs - LP1 (https://i.imgur.com/RkWxR0w.jpg) FKA twigs has one of the best sounds right now. I love Video Girl and Lights On. FKA twigs - M3LL155X (https://i.imgur.com/Judm3NI.png) Just finished listening to this now. Again, great sound and I particularly enjoy the closing Mothercreep. The Weeknd - My Dear Melancholy, (https://i.imgur.com/fzFj6K5.jpg) His best work since 2013's Kiss Land, and in my opinion as urgent and compelling a work of Noir R&B as has ever been recorded. Personal, staggering production and performance, with an emotional wallop that floors me. Try Me might just be the best song he's ever recorded. What a chorus! Check out that sneaky synth that comes in on the final chorus. Tinashe - Joyride (https://i.imgur.com/vmGCXom.jpg) Tinashe is one of the most impressive new R&B stars, and this album follows up very nicely on her last two LPs. Top tier production throughout. Check out Me So Bad. Kelela - Take Me Apart (https://i.imgur.com/jhtCQ2W.jpg) One of my favourite albums of last year. Kelela may just be the best new R&B talent since The Weeknd. Has something of Janet in her vocals. Sublime production, writing and performance. Onandon is a favourite. Drake - Nice For What (single) (https://i.imgur.com/gBEZJSS.jpg) A devastating production, that nearly cuts the flesh, so hard and driving is it. Drake's trademark singing rapping style is as potent as ever. Great hook/sample. Very excited for the new album coming in June. George Michael - Older (https://i.imgur.com/VCmenz6.jpg) My favourite George Michael album by far. A real masterpiece of atmosphere and introspection. The title track is amazing, as are Fast Love and Star People. Calvin Harris - Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1 (https://i.imgur.com/uQigtVm.jpg) A similar project to Mark Ronson's last one, lining up an A list collaborators and working in a production environment that is at the front of the game. Feels featuring Pharrell is the top track here, but I also love Nuh Ready Nuh Ready featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, who sings in a beautiful Jamaican patois. This was released as a single and is unfortunately not on the album.

I get the impression she's a musician's musician, who's regardly highly for her songs but not for her own renditions of them. Perhaps I should check her out as well. I had that recently with the 1970 album Parallelograms by Linda Perhacs. Track #1 and the title track are awesome and the rest is pretty good too. An engaging listening experience.

I've listened to a handful of Nyro's other albums but that one, her second, is her best. Stunning singing, lyrics and music. She mixes soul, Brill Building pop, jazz and folk to brilliant effect. Uniquely beautiful.
Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: RangeRoverA1 on April 25, 2018, 04:13:16 PM Yes, Laura Nyro is great singer. There's many similar (not really) voices like hers but she's got thick mature sound. The other female singers with high voice sing as young women, there's youthfulness & Laura sings like she's older than many of them. Very beautiful voice.
I mentioned Laura before in music threads but nobody seemed interested back then. Her debut The First Songs/ alt. title More Than New Discovery isn't shabby either. It shows how she began, she sings few songs by 5th Dimension (written ofc by her). Who like to compare can check this album.

(https://i.imgur.com/PeSUeQQ.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/AZQNsGX.jpg) Chance The Rapper is probably my favourite rapper after Drake. He has, like Drake, a wonderful ear for melody, and his singing rapping style is super compelling and powerful. These are his first two mixtapes, which I for some reason never got around to getting a hold of. They are available for free, legal download here (https://mixtapemonkey.com/637/chance-the-rapper-acid-rap) if you're interested in hearing some of the best rap being produced today. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: MugginsXOXOXO on April 29, 2018, 12:19:05 PM These are really, really good.

I'd read about it somewhere, where it had been lumped with Primal Scream's Screamadelica and the Stones' Exile on Main Street, presumably as albums of great musical breadth and scope. So it was just a name when I cycled to a local record store to buy the Beta Band's (underwhelming) swansong album.
Looking around for album #2 (I often buy albums in pairs), my eye fell on LAGWAFIS. I listened to the track linked below and I knew I would love this album.

I'm very kind by nature but, to tell you like it is, many albums you list as favorites, they're very boring to these ears. Frankly, many other posters' favorites bore me as well.

Most of the songs on the channel are of course by The Chairman, but other artists are featured as well. One is Vic Damone, who sang a song called "I Am in Love." The lyrics would make Agatha Christie smile: "Should I order cyanide or order champagne." ;D I recently heard another song on there that was wonderful - The Four Freshmen singing A Nightingale Sang at Berkeley Square. The ending is absolutely exquisite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ejKzzsedO8 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ejKzzsedO8) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: RangeRoverA1 on July 18, 2018, 05:40:25 PM Respectively - don't care about Sinatra (& his daughter Nancy Sinatra), familiar with Vic Damone's songs, favorites galore, Four Freshmen really rule.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: RangeRoverA1 on September 15, 2018, 03:34:20 PM Listened to Bobbie Gentry, didn't like. Time wasted.
The other artists I didn't like whilst listening to - Johnny Cash (I knew hits b4 but today, yesterday listened to full albums) Roberta Flack Marvin Gaye Tammi Terrell duets (listened b4 to Marvin Gaye as solo artist, as usual dislike his voice, Tammi's voice isn't good to these ears either, songs leave me cold) Phil Collins Madonna's 80s stuff (bottom line: indifferent) Kylie Minogue Dionne Warwick Franz Ferdinand Cher & Sonny (it puzzles they were successful, didn't like even at least single song. Sonny's terrible voice, godawful. Cher's voice I never liked) Ike Turner plus Tina Turner (dislike songs, Tina's voice) Tbh, I'm fine with disliking these artists. Shan't listen to them repeatedly to try to like them as many here & elsewhere do. As I usually say, big deal.

In addition to previous list, didn't like The Pretty Things, CSNY (as in The Band's case, dislike each vocalist's voice, esp. Nash's), Dusty Springfield, Jefferson Airplane/ Starship, Kingston Trio, The Seekers, Mamas & Papas' songs didn't impress either (Cass solo discounts), John Denver, Donna Summer + myriad disco songs/ artists which I listened via youtube, Cream + anything with Clapton, Janis Joplin, Elvis Costello, The Doors, The Tradewinds, Neil Diamond, Bryan Ferry/ Roxy Music, Mary Hopkin, Mary MacGregor, Sting/ Police (plain dull), The Platters, whiny-voiced-channeling-desperately-cutesy-cheerful-lass Joanna Newsom, The Pretenders, Linda Ronstadt, Keith Richards' solo, Fairport Convention, The Grass Roots, Lovin' Spoonful, laughably bad Rod Stewart/ The Faces, The Raspberries, The Monkees.
Frankly, am glad I dislike everybody in the list. It's the least bit smb. should be upset or lose sleep about. It doesn't make sense when people desperately try to like the artists, songs, albums, esp. critically acclaimed & which got positive reviews by listeners. The artists I did like - Tony Orlando, Sylvie Vartan, Steve Lawrence & Eydie Gorme, Sandie Shaw, Dana, Marlene Dietrich, Nico (of course), Laura Nyro, Barbara Streisand's jazz/ music film material, various new to me 60s-70s names in Larry's blog.

You should check Steve Lawrence-Eydie Gorme duets. &/ or Steve solo. He's among favorite male singing & speaking voices (he & Eydie his wife appeared frequently in U.S. TV game "What's My Line?").

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on December 26, 2018, 08:23:33 PM I'm not Beachcat, but I've always felt The Wall was massively overrated. IMHO it's too pretentious although it does have a few good songs and pretty good production.
I used to severely underrate Piper but now I feel as if it's a very good album apart from maybe Pow R Toch H and Take up Thy Stethoscope and Walk Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: beachcat on December 26, 2018, 08:41:58 PM Hi RR,
For me, The Wall is one of those albums that I have to listen to from start to finish in one session in order to truly enjoy it. Because the whole album is a single story, it's hard for me to hear singles from it on the radio and feel the sense of exhilaration I get when I hear the entire album. Was it overhyped? I have no idea...I was just a small child when it came out, so by the time I heard it as a teenager it was already the 1990s and very few in my peer group were even talking about it. I discovered it on my own after my dad introduced me to Dark Side, and this was before the days of the Internet, so I just formed my own opinion of it without any prior information. I do think "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2" has been overplayed. Perhaps if the album was overhyped, it was due to the accompanying Wall film, which heightened people's sense about the "trip through insanity" theme. As for Piper, I love that album. My favorites are "Astronomy Domine", "Lucifer Sam", and "Interstellar Overdrive". If anything, I would say it is an underrated album. Sorry I'm not much help with the music culture aspects of these albums. I grew up in a rural, isolated area and discovered groups like Pink Floyd and the Beach Boys by playing with family members' 8-Tracks which were strewn about. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on December 26, 2018, 09:12:44 PM ^ Speaking of Lucifer Sam....did you notice that the opening riff was later on "borrowed" for Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots?
It was intentional, although it is a common riff anyway (see "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars) Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: beachcat on December 26, 2018, 09:25:05 PM ^ Speaking of Lucifer Sam....did you notice that the opening riff was later on "borrowed" for Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots? It was intentional, although it is a common riff anyway (see "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars) No, I never noticed that before, so I just went to YT and listened to both...huh! That's really interesting. I sometimes pick up on these things, but because I relate to music on more of an emotional level than a technical one, I do miss a lot of these occurrences. I have, however, just purchased a "Music Theory for Dummies" book in order to try to understand objectively why certain songs appeal to me. For example, I recently learned that I really like songs with odd time signatures. I always knew they sounded "different", but as a person with somewhat limited musical experience I didn't understand why until now. Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on December 26, 2018, 09:50:13 PM ^ I never noticed until I talked with a mutual friend of Scott (Weiland) . Now that I've heard it, I can't UNhear it. The ironic part is, the melody matching the main one in "Moving in Stereo" is ironic because "Sex Type Thing" was about date rape, and the female character on screen when the Cars' song is played got raped in the movie. Yikes.

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: RangeRoverA1 on January 27, 2019, 12:28:16 PM Listened to great CBS Radio Mystery Theater, ep. "The Child's Cat Paw". About girl & her cat Fammie (shortened "familiar", she dubbed the cat like that when she read books about witches). Cat starts talking with girl coz she's lonely & wishes to talk with smb., she tells cat "why don't you talk". Cat gets bizarre idea about helping the girl's elderly uncle Willie to find match. The girl says who, cat points to baker lady Maggie Roberts' young sister Gloria. Girl & cat think up plan. Next day girl asks uncle Willie to go walk with her towards Robberts sisters' house, girl's mother says kill 2 birds with stone, get fresh bread. When they walk, girl starts making up stuff about Gloria telling her in secret that she finds Willie "charming", Willie can't believe but the girl insists she did say it. Then they get there, girl talks with Gloria about Willie being smitten by her beauty & that he's rich. Few days pass, the guy & Gloria prepare to be engaged but when he went to get wedding ring, she, whilst waiting in the car, sees her old boyfriend who she 1st refuses to talk with but he says to dump the granddaddy & go with him like good ole times & she agrees. When Willie gets back, he can't believe she chooses this "slacker" & refuses to give Gloria to that young guy yada yada. That guy punches Willie & leaves him lying in the snow. When he wakes, he sees Maggie, the baker lady, she saved him, fed him with soup etc. Then Willie says he made mistake to pick young glamorous sister, should've picked nice kind woman like Maggie. They get married. At the end, the girl seriously talks with Fammie, says they'll be friends but that the cat never talks again, stays being just cat.
Fun observation - the girl's name is Dinah & she got elderly uncle Willie. It's like in film "Philadelphia Story", Katharine Hepburn's little sister Dinah & there's elderly guy uncle Willie. It's good ep but the actress playing Dinah's mother really annoyed. She got nervous about tiniest things such as Dinah talking with cat, she hates that cat, that cat is evil, Dinah's up to sth. Everytime she's in, her characters magically suspect sth. right at the beginning which turns out she was right. & everybody else is idiot to not listen to her. It's like she got ESP or what. Annoying as hell. & I don't like her voice in the least bit, jittery, nervous, too much breathing, yet goody good, with "uber-protective about her fam & friends" intonations. Then, didn't like the actress who voiced cat, fake meows & lame human voice. Shoulda cast smb. else.

http://endlessharmony.boards.net/thread/105/share-obscure-albums-deserve-recognition?page=1 A true labour of love!

So thank you (again), that person. ::) Yesterday I bumped into one of the many "Wasn't Impressed With"s: Cauldron, a curious album from 1967 by Fifty Foot Hose.

Anyhoo, since this thread isn't about favorites you listen to but *general* "what you listen to", here's album I listen to via kitchen radio (yes, it plays at times full albums) - New by Paul. Not sure why it's played few yrs afrer the fact but there you go. It's today's radio pick. I'm famously Paul fan but don't like few tracks they played. Maybe it improves with next tracks? Yay? Nay? Listening tbc. Btw, listened to New before but forgot what songs sound like, every single. Thus, the radio helps to refresh brains but it's like listening to it 1st time, really. As if previously I dreamed that I listened to it but in fact didn't. But I did listen, yet don't recall if liked it or disliked. Bizarre.

Some fans rank it very highly among Paul's solo albums - I don't. That said, there are a few standout songs IMO. My favorite song is "New". Fantastic! I'm also a big fan of the hidden track "Scared". Beyond that, I like "Save Us", "On My Way To Work", and "Early Days" quite a bit.

Hi RR, I'm sorry, I just haven't been on the forum for a bit and didn't see your message :) I personally have not listened to Paul McCartney's "New". I only have one of his albums, which is "Flaming Pie," and I adore it. Guess I will have to give "New" a try at some point.

The passage in question begins at 5:28:
"I think it was the first time I realized I could change the world, or at least change the way me and my sister hit the clock on every tick just to see what would happen. The time was really flowing by I guess and it’s hard to think of the way it might have been or remember really specifically the words and all the rest of it. I was down, more than I’ll ever be probably, that has more to do with it altogether. Like the orange trees in the backyard and it’s Easter and it just won’t end. Fucking Phil, he’s off on his board somewhere and I’m just sitting here getting more and more lost with everything. That is the thing about it, it’s not as if a cousin had promised something and taken it away. It was like nobody could share my so-called dreams which really meant none of it was happening. And that reach around midnight left you with just about that, nothing. There’s not anything particular about it either and I think that the whole thing gets vaguer every second. But I am too and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s even funny when I stop and realize I’m just nineteen, how serious can anything be anyway? Not very." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HB7iPiFExN4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_Nineteens Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: SBonilla on March 27, 2019, 05:49:12 AM I was recording a tune of mine last night.

I'm reading a book about the song "House of the Rising Sun," as the author explores how the song developed over ( possibly) centuries. I'll post about the book eventually in the What are you Reading thread . I listened to four distinct versions, all great in their own ways. (These are available online in the US, hopefully abroad as well.) The Animals' version, of course. Some people say it's not good but I think it was a really good version, and it introduced a lot of people to the song. Woody Guthrie. His has the same lyrics but a different melody, in a major key. His is the version our folk group used in performances of this song. Bob Dylan . Another great version with additional verses. His is based on how folksinger Dave Van Ronk performed it. Finally, a version I hadn't heard before, by one of my all-time favorite singers, Doc Watson. It's a more upbeat (musically) version, great guitar picking. before the first instrumental break he tells the guitar soloist to "shuffle them cards" lol. It too has some different lyrics from the others. The last line sends shivers - "then they'll tie me to an old ball and chain / until my earthly race is run." this probably bores a lot of people but I can't get enough of this stuff... Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: RangeRoverA1 on April 07, 2019, 07:19:14 PM The Animals did it the best. Dylan's is epic fail. He's terrible singer.

I see the original US release was seriously truncated--scandalous! :o That said... I never, ever want to hear it again--it got played to death in 1964, believe me. :lol Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: RangeRoverA1 on April 09, 2019, 05:24:24 AM The Animals did it the best.

I don't freak out when people tell me they don't like the Beach Boys--their loss, I think, but I don't stand there and denigrate them. Wanna know a secret?

Is it due to Mick Jagger's vocs, beachcat? Many dislike RS since MJ is main singer. Btw, is username blend - being BBs & cat fan?

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on April 20, 2019, 02:31:41 AM Gandalf is an album that was very highly placed in theSuperMetroid's list of "Keepers" in her Obscure Albums topic, first at PSF and then at EH. I listened to it again last night. It's psychedelic without being obtrusively so, the instrumentation is very bright and, most unusually, the album includes a lot of cover versions at a time when everyone was writing all their own material. Before now, "Scarlet Ribbons" was best known to me from the '50s version by Harry Belafonte. I dedicate this 1969 version to SM, who I know from her pictures has worn scarlet ribbons herself.

It's a picture of a clothing store sign in La Laguna, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. I was there a few weeks ago. I have heard records that could be described as 'caca de la vaca.'

Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on May 24, 2019, 08:28:04 AM I bought the 45 of Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" in 1967, as it was not on the emasculated UK version of Surrealistic Pillow. I later gave it to a friend when I got rid of my singles five years later. He tells me he still has it.
A more recent friend alerted me to this video of the song last year and particularly to the first time Grace sings "Go ask Alice". You feel you're really missing out if you don't. "White Rabbit" will never sound the same again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfASumLhC2U Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on May 27, 2019, 01:10:12 PM I found Tame Impala's "It's Not Meant To Be" while looking for songs with layered openings and thought it was gorgeous! ::)

Curiously this is an album (and a band) that completely escaped the attentions of my blogger friend on her quest to find obscure psychedelic gems.

The music is sensationally good, with Ginger Baker's world-class drumming in the front of the mix and some exceedingly solid guitar and bass work to boot. Great songs too (a not unimportant aspect). The cover illustration speaks to me as well. And the album title is wonderfully evocative.
This is "T.U.S.A.", with the band's British drummer bewailing "the inability of Yanks to make a good cup of tea"! But please, give the entire album a listen--you won't be disappointed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTuXBoA688Y (https://img.discogs.com/iR6SL5NP17jpFH2EvMVB1iC1hDA=/fit-in/300x300/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-7248941-1521237891-8307.jpeg.jpg) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masters_of_Reality Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on June 15, 2019, 03:22:40 AM (https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71-A3aHB7iL._SY355_.jpg)
I'm back on track now with Forever Changes after half a century of writing it off as the decline that finished Love's career. How foolish can one man be. :smokin Thank you, that person, for making me see sense at last! I'd noticed others raving about it online but had dug my heels in.

Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: JK on June 29, 2019, 02:32:57 AM Albums about loss often have an extra sheen to them and as such have always fascinated me. John Newman's Tribute (2013) is one such album.
The opening title track begins with a long, long list of Newman's influences over the decades. Five years ago, when I bought the album, I was foolish enough to write down as many of these names as I could hear. One problem is that a nice lady keeps anouncing the next decade, effectively blotting out what Mr Newman is saying. Another is that the strings keep getting louder! The recited list is not online, or in a video of the song. Perhaps one day John N will publish it. Or maybe someone without cloth ears or with better equipment can do better than I did. And I almost forgot, there's this chart which comes with the CD that might help you fill in the missing names (see below). Anyway, this is what I made of it, glitches and all: "Nina Simone, Ray Charles, Elvis, Wilson Pickett, Aaron Neville, Aretha Franklin, The Band, **** [Brian Auger?

But really it's since delving into The Beach Boys' stuff (and to my mind seriously overdoing it) that I've changed tack. I'll get back to It's Hard sooner or later. I got waylaid--by one album per artist. :lol Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Jay on July 09, 2019, 11:24:32 AM Gary Numan is interesting.

I've been contemplating reviving that Who thread to ask you about "It's Hard". ;D Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: JK on July 15, 2019, 03:12:12 AM Gary Numan is interesting. I've been listening to "Down In The Park" quite a bit lately. I've been contemplating reviving that Who thread to ask you about "It's Hard". ;D I'll get back to The Who soon--promise! :-D Yes, Numan has always fascinated me. In his early days of fame (late '79, early '80) he and his music gave my self-confidence a much-needed boost. Replicas is one of my favourite GN albums. Another is Warriors (1983). Numan has managed to attract top-notch musicians for his various band lineups over the years. Guitarist Bill Nelson and bassist Joe Hubbard were on board for the Warriors sessions. (The wikipage is worth reading.) One of my favourite songs from the Warriors sessions, "My Car Slides (1)", was eventually left off the album and given B-side status. It's now a bonus track on the CD reissue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7t-bpzuZrw https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warriors_(Gary_Numan_album) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warriors_(Gary_Numan_album)) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on July 17, 2019, 12:44:21 PM I just can't make up my mind about "Visions Of Your Reality", the second track on Ultimate Spinach's 1968 album Behold & See, the (in my view) superior follow-up to their self-titled debut. On the one hand it seems sincere enough. On the other, it sounds like an East Coast parody of West Coast hippie pseudo-profundities. There are the utterly over-the-top lyrics and delivery and that fuzz guitar whining throughout. That said, the album as a whole hangs together well, so it was going too far to leave "VOYR" off the CD reissue. It never fails to make me smile though.

Staying with this album... The next track after "VOYR" on the original LP was "Jazz Thing", here in the original full-length version I and the rest of the village used to enjoy back in the day.

I got mixed feelings from it today.

I need to check out Tiny Tim more. At the time I thought he was someone who came on the scene and was a star overnight. But read one of Bob Dylan's books and he said that Tiny Tim was part of the "pass the hat" coffeehouse scene in New York in the early 60s. The song had a nice retro feel. However I can only take so much of his trilling at one time.

Getting out of the car at home, someone in the neighborhood was playing Grover Washington Jrs Funk/Smooth Jazz classic, Mr. Magic. Perfect song for a sultry afternoon. Yes it's Autumn technically, but it's definitely still Summer temperature wise today!

Tomorrow evening we'll be at the Joyce Theater in Manhattan to see the world premier of Michelle Dorrance's, The Nutcracker Suite This will be something! Here's the blurb on it from the Joyce site: "“One of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today” (The New Yorker), Michelle Dorrance and her tap dream team arrive just in time for the holidays with a three-week run of a world premiere by Michelle Dorrance, Hannah Heller, and Josette Wiggan-Freund, set to Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn's sublime interpretation of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker."

I knew the Shakes from Jools' BBC TV show and Ms. Howard sang some great soul classics on this year's turn-of-the-year Hootenanny.
Jaime is very intimate (not my bag) but all about loss (very much my bag, always has been) so I'm of two minds about it. It does sound utterly sincere though--not surprisingly perhaps, since it's named after Brittany's sister, who died when they were teenagers. Thinks: Is this my gateway to the music of Prince, as the two are in many ways musical soulmates (no pun intended)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwD9S4onuQ0&list=PLsAk6h4n-dS2ijTAnwnsQx3VmLJk-MTkV&index=1 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwD9S4onuQ0&list=PLsAk6h4n-dS2ijTAnwnsQx3VmLJk-MTkV&index=1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime_(album) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaime_(album)) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on January 06, 2020, 06:00:54 AM Not now but yesterday--the 1965 debut album by The Sonics.

I must be extremely terrible poster in the Internet that nobody even cares about things I say. Zero wonder enthusiasm to write anything dwindled. For goodness' sake, RR, stop playing the victim! It doesn't help endear folks to you one jot. You're doing great at EH. Everyone talks to you there and they respect you. You have a privileged position as a mod. Quite frankly I see no reason for you to complain. And yes, Chris Montez is cool, particularly his first hit, "Let's Dance". Talk about less is more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7Qhw1Z_i3E Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: RangeRoverA1 on January 17, 2020, 02:36:34 PM It made me curious what people think about specific CM song I namechecked, not about which CM song *you* like or if you like him *generally*. I like to mention titles & see if people recognize it & if yes what they think about it. I like to compare views about *single* song. Kinda like picking album to discuss, just instead of album, it's song.
To JK - will you please quit mentioning EH here at Smiley? Let's not bring up different boards. You read EH, things I post there etc. That's fine & dandy. But I've zero idea why you must mention it here. Please don't. Thanks. & talk about misunderstanding *completely* the point I made, instead I'm painted in the worst possible light ("playing victim". Leni aired similar grievances, somehow she never been told "stop playing victim"...different standards perhaps...). It simply is beyond comprehension why when I post songs or albums, people *rarely* - & I mean *rarely* - reply to it, join discussion etc. I wish people quit paying attention who reply is written by & focused instead *what's* written. I like to talk with people & as everybody, I like attention, it's very nice when smb. cares what you say, especially nice & cool when people chime in to discuss things with ME! It's ultimate coolness, makes me think I'm interesting conversationalist. It brings enthusiasm. I believe it's totally fine thing to be frustrated when nobody replies to things you say (face it, many of you get frustrated about same thing too). I know perfectly what precisely I talk about. /mini-rant If smb.'s going to reply to this with the kinda patronizing belittling reply jk did - save it.

When I think of Montez, that song and Call Me come to mind. I was too young to remember Let's Dance when it came out in 1962 (as I posted earlier, I was 5 years old in 1962 and only recall a couple of songs such as Soldier Boy; 1963 was the first year where I have memories of lots of hits). I very much remember Montez's later songs from 1966.

My girl. :D Recently been seeing the absolute fave TV game "What's My Line" (I mention it, rightly, thousand times - it's simply too fun); the ep with guest panelist Zsa Zsa Gabor, mystery celeb young Anthony Perkins (pre-"Psycho"), blindfolded panelists asked him "Are you singer?" To which he:"Not really". As in, he didn't say plain "No", thus I went to read youtube replies - to amazement, nearly everybody praised his singing, smb. even said like " 'Not really'? But he's really good singer". I'd zero idea till now that Anthony's got side career, that he sang professionally. He covered "The More I See You" (drastically diff. arr.) & the other standards, even sang in French (quite well too, it's uber-difficult language to sing).

I love '60s music in general, so this was a nice treat. "Don't Worry Baby" was #32, "Be My Baby" was #30, and "God Only Knows" came in at #7. The top 3 were "Cherish" by the Association, "Unchained Melody", and Elvis' "I Can't Help Falling in Love with You" was #1. Probably the standout song to me, that I had heard a few times before (but never knew what it was) was "To Sir with Love" by Lulu. The host of the show mentioned that Lulu had opened for the Beach Boys at some point, which I thought was cool. There is so much great music from this era that I didn't know about up until recently -- and when I hear it, it feels like finding buried treasure.

I know the feeling, bc--and I lived through those years! One of my colleagues at the hobby forum introduced me to the deep cuts (mainly B-sides) of Freddie and the Dreamers. No one took Freddie seriously in those days, myself included. Another recentish (2002) discovery was the UK producer Joe Meek. Most of his acts didn't mean too much--that was the whole point in a way--but his genius as a producer elevated them to superstardom! My brother and I sneered at Joe Meek at the time--we were young and foolish. And, on the psychedelic and progressive front, my erstwhile young friend re-introduced me to the more adventurous stuff of the late '60s, early '70s that had either passed me by at the time or I had pooh-poohed as not being my cup of tea. (You can see/hear the results in my "Sundazed" topic, now gradually sinking from view.) Ironic that it came from someone born a quarter of a century after much of it had been recorded. I wish her well. So yes--as you say, buried treasure!

It comprises four tracks...

Their album "In It For The Money" (with a cover shot of them busking outside) is absolutely fantastic, a must-listen, and one of my favorites. The song "Late In The Day" is one of the best songs of the past 30 years in my opinion. The entire album is f***ing rock and roll done the right way. Great production, great songwriting, tight band performances, and fantastic loud guitars combined with acoustics recorded as well as those on "Rubber Soul". When I got into the studio production thing and we were working for clients, we used to put Supergrass on as one of the references on how to mix that kind of rock and roll properly.
It's funny how mentions of a band like Supergrass trigger memories from afar. I remember buying "In It For The Money", which I believe was their second as Supergrass, and being pleasantly surprised it came with 2 discs for the price of one. They added an entire second disc full of B-sides and other assorted tracks and only charged for the price of a single album. That was cool. They were on the MTV show 120 Minutes, I may still have that on VHS. The host, Matt, asked them about rumors they were in talks with Steven Spielberg or something to work up a show based around them, like The Monkees concept of a young rock band cavorting around a cool pad or something. They denied it outright lol. Obviously they were just rumors. The band did have some cool videos though. They came to Boston when I was playing in a band and crashing with a friend in Cambridge, near Harvard. That was when Rivers Cuomo had left Weezer to study at Harvard. Friend of a friend who hung out with Rivers and worked as a roadie for another "super" band, Superdrag (HIGHLY recommend them too, love their music), happened to be walking down Newbury Street and saw these guys randomly walking there too. No one recognized them, but he did: It was Supergrass. He went over to them and introduced himself, and among other things he took them to John Fluevog Shoes to check out some new hip kicks lol. They were one of the best shops to find a full line of Docs, as well as a selection of anything with creeper soles perfect for the music scenesters. We were surprised no one among the hip college set strolling down Newbury recognized a trio walking around who had been on MTV. And Fluevog's shoe store was on the same block of Newbury as Tower Records and Newbury Comics, in fact all were within like 10 storefronts of each other, and the kind of people who hung there in 1997-1998 should have recognized them! Another friend saw them in concert. Said it was amazing, the guitar sound was intense and brilliant, and if I recall he said it was only one or two Fender Twins on stage, that's it. When you boil it down, that's all you need, really. Of all the albums they have, all of them worth a listen, "In It For The Money" is still one of my top albums of all time. Those who haven't checked it out yet, give it a spin. I miss when music like Supergrass and Superdrag was in the air, and you could walk into a random store and hear that kind of music being played. I really miss those times. Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: JK on November 10, 2020, 01:55:44 AM It's funny how mentions of a band like Supergrass trigger memories from afar.

Heart "Crazy On You" - 5/5. Didn't hear even band title b4. 1st song hear = straight banger. It's got many little cool musical things. Heart "Barracuda" - 5/5. 2 5/5 songs in row. Police "Message In Bottle" - 1/5. Backing track nice, vocals bad. Sting in video little looks like British actor Ewan Mc-what. The Carpenters "Only Yesterday" - 5/5, didn't hear it b4, beautiful video/she in it, new fave Carpenters song. Outkast "Ms. Jackson" - 4/5. Cute. Chris Stapleton "Tennessee Whiskey" - 1/5. He sings like black. Song didn't impress nevertheless. Nina Simone "Feeling Good", "Ain't Got No, I Got Life" - 2 times 5/5. Def. going to check her catalog. Cher "If I Could Turn Back Time" - 0/5. Madonna "Lucky Star" - 0/5. Aerosmith "Crazy", "Dude Looks Like Lady" - 0/5, 0/5. Steven Tyler's voice didn't save these songs. Flock Of Seagulls "I Ran" - 2/5. Such funny silly song. Ricky Martin "Livin' La Vida Loca" - 0/5. Earth Wind & Fire "September", EW&F "Boogie Wonderland" (ft. Emotions) - 2/5, 2/5. Brass band = cool. 3 Doors Down "Here Without You" - 0/5. Dulllllll. Evanescence "My Immortal" - see 3 Doors Down. Gotye "Smb. That I Used To Know" - 0/5. Ditto as previous 2 listed songs. Prince "Purple Rain" - 0/5. People in youtube kept advising to see entire film clip to this song is in. Going by clip, it's really boring film. Sinead O'Connor "Nothing Compares To You" - written by Prince they say, yet he gave this song to some Irish girl. Weird. Couldn't she sing it without adding little growls? It really grated to ears. Prince's cover with black lady been slightly better but still song is dull, thus 0/5. Jackie Wilson "Lonely Teardrops" - I knew this song, absolutely know who is Jackie Wilson but I didn't see what he looks like, he can dance. :3d He is great singer but since I ain't song's fan, it's 0/5. Sidenote: reading his wiki page, Jackie's got really sad bio. It kinda ruined mood reading it. Doobie Brothers "Black Water" - 5/5. :3d Ozzy Osbourne "Crazy Train" - 3/5. Guitars = 😎. As is Ozzy's voice. Talking Heads "Psycho Killer" - 5/5. :3d White Stripes "7 Nation Army" - 5/5. :3d Familiar with band thru Top 10 fave film "Coffee&Cigarettes" by Jim cool Jarmusch. Meg & Jack sat down discussing Tesla. Didn't check duet's music till few days back. Jolly good song.

To add to list listed previously - songs, again, with 0-5 rankings:
U2 "Where Streets Have No Name" - 2/5. Btw, never got why Bono is hated, such good guy he is, he gives to charities & stuff. People like "he is blowhard". You people blowhards too, it's human nature to brag about this & that. Big deal. Everybody did & does it daily, right now as I type buncha people brag about whatever to friends or whoever. It it what it is, it's harmless too, it ain't sin hey. Queen "Another One Bites The Dust" - cool bass, beat. 3/5. It's funny that everybody recognized it in reaction channels, right when the intro began "Hey this song is Queen song?! Wow. Guys, sorry, looks like I know this song, it's been in movies, commercials, many places". Yet...NOBODY recognized "Bohemian Rhapsody", they been indeed hearing it with fresh ears (since it's reaction channel purpose - to react to songs that you didn't hear b4). Weird, figured it's Queen's signature, mad-popular song. When I listened to it back in 2011, what seemed to be initial listen, when it played, it quickly went familiar. But I didn't hear AOBTD b4, didn't recognize any bit of it. Is it popular? Who knew. Yazoo "Don't Go" - 1/5. 80s music is hideous & funny. She sings well = single good thing to tell about this specific song. Erasure "Little Respect" - 0/5. Thumbs down but liked twins' reaction, little dance moves they did, too cute. Etta James "At Last" - 3/5. Ain't favorite (due to fiddles' abundance). Etta's beautiful voice is given 5 points. It should be a cappella. Stevie Nicks "Edge Of 17" - everybody likes Stevie Nicks, each channel that reacted towards songs she sings (with band & solo). They liked it too. Yet I didn't - song isn't dull, maybe little bit but music yells 80s, *that* I didn't like. Next thing, Stevie sings better, better songs, with band. 0/5. Luke Combs "When It Rains It Pours" - fun lil country choon. 4/5. It's upbeat, cheery, plus good voice. NB: Clip = 0/5.

That song, sales wise, is the most popular Queen song and was number one in the US for several weeks. Heard it all the time back in the day. A very catchy tune. Believe it or not Bohemian Rhapsody never reached number one in the US. It was a smash hit however in the UK. I think it’s because of its length, over 5 minutes. It’s the most famous of their songs. I remember a survey that made it the top UK pop song of all time. But I hardly ever hear it on the Pop US stations today. I do hear it on the Classic Rock channels that often play longer songs. I give both of them 5/5.

Damaged and Epic Dream were both released this year. Lawson plays and sings everything himself and even provides the art work.

He is better appreciated in small doses and the remix format works well in that respect. His remix of Ana Lola Roman (https://ra.co/dj/analolaroman/biography)'s "Klutch" dates from April 2011. Nice accompanying visuals too.

SR's comment sums up the sentiment felt throughout Truckfighter's wonderful mixes: "Nostalgic for a future that never came. One day comrades, one day"... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxj6TbbtDk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjeY5b49chE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al9Vsl7Z8BQ (https://verfilmeshd.gratis/__vi__iLxj6TbbtDk__hqdefault.jpg) * Not so. I should have read the wiki page first! The samples you hear may be from Soviet times but the genre itself began early this millennium and really took off in the 2010s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovietwave (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovietwave) Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: JK on May 01, 2021, 03:15:14 PM (https://img.discogs.com/wSrMTkuQuSozrkA3jk7-I1magsM=/fit-in/478x475/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-2926960-1307668466.jpeg.jpg)

Speaking of New Orleans music, I've really gotten into a band called Tuba Skinny lately. They started out as street musicians there but have gone on to record albums and tour the U.S. and overseas. My parents both liked New Orleans-style jazz aka Dixieland jazz and I remember hearing bands as a kid at festivals. Their most recent album, Some-Kinda-Shake, is really good. Without further ado, my favorite song from the album: https://tubaskinny.bandcamp.com/track/im-going-back-home (https://tubaskinny.bandcamp.com/track/im-going-back-home) The aforementioned album is mostly instrumentals... I'm still working my way through their catalog, but Pyramid Strut is also a good album that features more jazz and blues vocal numbers: https://tubaskinny.bandcamp.com/album/pyramid-strut (https://tubaskinny.bandcamp.com/album/pyramid-strut) Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Cool Cool Water on October 14, 2021, 01:34:11 PM H U M A N T I D E Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: Cool Cool Water on October 14, 2021, 01:34:43 PM H U M A N T I D E Title: Re: The return of the "What are you listening to now?" thread Post by: Cool Cool Water on October 14, 2021, 01:36:19 PM H U M A N T I D E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mud_Nz89u8U&ab_channel=Humantide Title: Re: The return of the \ Post by: JK on November 27, 2021, 04:26:27 AM H U M A N T I D E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mud_Nz89u8U&ab_channel=Humantide Hey, CCW.

Much of his music can be loosely described as a marriage between that of Kraftwerk and Gary Numan.
Yesterday, while cleaning a bookshelf I gave a listen to their 1989 album Демонстрация силы техники (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nf8iPurxFDn9tvMq6xY8xW3IdYcIlixK8), which if my spies have got it right translates as "Demonstration of the Power of Technology".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54YgGYE6DUA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54YgGYE6DUA) Hi peeps. A bit of a different upload today. I found this video on Youtube through a Discord server about Boards of Canada. The original uploader claimed to have found this video on a thrifted VHS tape. People went nuts over the fact this could be unreleased Boards of Canada tracks, but I doubt it. Especially since the tape was found in the USA, according to the original uploader. Some Boards of Canada tracks seem to have been sprinkled in though. I liked the upload so I downloaded it. Turns out the original uploader deleted the entire channel (probably due to hate from people saying it's fake). Never thought I'd be someone to save something from being lost media, but here I am... I doubt it's a lost Boards of Canada release, but it's a really nice collection of music anyway! Hope you enjoy it. Original description from the now deleted video: A few or more years ago I used to work at a local Red White & Blue Thrift center and the employees would always get first pick on any of the items that were dropped off. There was a box full of VHS tapes, some of which were horror movies. I grabbed four of the tapes. The tapes have remained on my shelf and never watched any of them until recently over the pandemic when the entire world was in lockdown. I went to go watch The Shining. I took the tape out of it's box and noticed there was no label on the VHS tape. I popped it in and to my surprise this is what was on that tape. I was a little irritated, as I am a big Stephen King fan and was looking to watch the movie. I fast forwarded the tape, but it goes all blank after the music and clouds stop. I figured, some jack-ass decided to over dub cheesy music over some boring video footage of clouds. After all these months, I decided to convert the VHS footage to digital and post it. No idea who made this tape, whether it's some kind of joke, or what the music is. I tried to use the Shazam music app to see if I could identify, but no luck there. Maybe someone else knows? If I had to make an honest guess, I think possibly the tape is a student experiment for a class and maybe they made a tape compiled of music to throw on top of it and they accidentally put it in the wrong cassette box? Either way, I find it interesting or maybe slightly creepy. I was goin to throw the tape away, but something about the whole ordeal, I find very interesting.
