BOMBS OVER BAGHDAD!!!!!!!

Canned Heat
J Geils Band
Savoy Brown
Foghat

Streaming the unbelievably kick-ass WWOZ out of NO at work right now, and they just played Mickey Newbury signing "She Even Woke Me to Say Goodbye," which was just gorgeous. Anyone got any recommendations for any of his work?

Long Road Home from 2002ish is my favorite.

Redundant!

Okay, so not completely redundant, but you know what I mean. And good choices, too (especially the Hellbound Train LP).

Giac, If one likes certain types of Music redundant is O.K. Actually one groupd leans to a jazz sound while the other has a little more Rock IMO. Tonights Venue
Boz Scaggs
Santanna
Deep Purple

thevett, I was just yanking your chain a little, and meant nothing by it. I like both Savoy Brown and Foghat, and not just because one grew out of the ashes of the other -- in fact, I'm often surprised when I find people know that members of Foghat used to be in Savoy Brown. Most of my friends who like Foghat are oblivious to that fact (which says more about them than anything!).

My ex-wife on the subject of selling her Subaru: The only thing I have to disclose is that there are five Nickleback CDs stuck in the changer and no way to get them out.

Me: Christ. Well there's a thousand dollars you'll have to knock off your asking price right off the batt.

Some great new stuff coming out -

James Mercer + Danger Mouse = Broken Bells






Midlake has a new one coming out - in the meantime here are a few older tracks






The Whigs - from their Mission Control album - new one out in a few months.

Giac, No problem used to spend nights at the Filmore East listening to lots of music

Vampire Weekend. All I can say about their first album (haven't heard the second yet) is they are quirky Northeastern Boys you will see running around Cape Cod during the summer. Gotta love 'em!







4.25/5 for originality, and awesomeness.

Probably my favorite of their works.

Interesting. They're a band that I've heard of, and heard a bit of what they've done, but I'm not too familiar with. Could you provide some more info, or a good entry point?

Gives me chills every time.

Here's a few thoughts -

They're not overly technical - most of the guys are self-taught, and I mention this because I think they have a more unorthodox style. This changed somewhat between "Choronzon" and "Words that go unspoken" when they brought in the guitarist from The Berzerker, who gives them a little more precision. Not to say they are sloppy, but it's a contrast certainly.

I wouldn't recommend their earlier stuff, either "Goat of Mendes" or

[spoiler]"The Rape of the Bastard Nazarene"[/spoiler] (spoiler for those who might be offended)

as their sound really coalesced on "Choronzon." As for their sound, I think the lead singer put it best when he described them as what it would sound like if Death and Rush got into a fight in an elevator. They're labeled as black metal, but it's definitely neither USBM nor Norwegian. I suppose it's British black metal, but I don't know much of the rest of the scene (save for Hecate Enthroned, who I don't think they sound at all like). But there is a very palpable proggy aspect to their music; they have tons of melodic breaks, synth, and a fair amount of clean singing (though normally the lead singer goes with a more "death-y" guttural, with occasional highs.) With that said, I don't find it as boring or soulless as a lot of Gothenburg-inspired melodic stuff. I think they handle the mix very well.

I don't know if that helps at all - sorry if it's not that coherent. I'd start with either "Choronzon" or "Words that go unspoken" - "Antichrist" is good, too, but I just haven't listened to it enough to give you a strong impression.

Plus they always play in suits and ties, which I think is entertaining.

downloading. I smoke the feet of the tree top of the

Listened to the new Spoon album ("Tranference") once through today and really liked the start of it. It waned a bit at the end, but another listen tomorrow may swing the final vote one way or another. "The Mystery Zone" is easy the best song in the set.

It's a really spare album. One the one hand I feel like they've gotten back, a little bit, towards the sound they had going on Gimmie Fiction, which I think is their best album. But, after several listens, I'm starting to feel like they're not actually doing enough with that sound. Unlike gimmie Fiction wheree the minimalism was in service of some really fantastic songs, none of the songs on this album really reach out and grab me. "I Saw The Light" is really the one that speaks to me most though.

Maybe it just needs a few more listens.

Some capsule reviews!

Vampire Weekend -- Contra
This is a natural evolution of their sound. Unfortunately, it's evolving into something I like less.

Ok Go -- Of The Blue Colour Of The Sky
This is the best auto-tuned Prince tribute album so far this year. Is this what OK Go always sounded like? Let me go back and check... No.

Massive Attack -- Heligoland
They should change their name to Massive Disappointment. (Actually, I'm kidding. I'm kind of digging this album so far.)

Port O'Brien -- Threadbare
I'm also digging this album. I'm not sure how to describe it so I'll just post a link to their MySpace account:

http://www.myspace.com/portobrien

I'm also likking the first part of the Broken Bells thing but haven't made up my mind about the album as a whole yet.

The catch with me is I still haven't heard the entirety of Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, so I'm going right from Gimme Fiction to this new one. It's definitely inferior, but the question is just how much. "The Mystery Zone" fits right in on Gimme Fiction, but I can't really figure out the rest of it. I'm with you on the need for more listens.

Still trying to get a grasp on Vampire Weekend. Like The Verve meets the happy circus organist. Dunno about them quite yet.

I don't get OK Go, but I like them for some reason. Nothing stood out for me on the first listen of the new album, but I wasn't really paying attention (they were on in the background as I worked). Usually that's a sign I won't really dig the album, but as always they get a nother couple of listens.

You know, I really hate to admit it because I usually can't stand newer music but these guys are actually pretty fuckin cool. This song has been in my head for weeks now. It's got a real classic thrash riff to it.

I always got a kick out of them. Haven't heard the new album, but "Advance and Vanquish" is a lot of fun.

Still as awesome as it was 20 years ago, even with the cheesy-ass whistle intro.

I sang this to my friend on her 30th birthday at karaoke last year - and I have to say, she got a little verklempt.

New Los Campesinos! is out! Joy. Gotta see how it is. Love this single to death; haven't really heard the rest yet.

I finally picked up the remastered Beatles collection (stereo), and I've been listening to the CDs over and over, including Revolver about 18 times in the last three days. The difference in sound is really astounding. The guitars are sharper, the harmonies richer, effects more pronounced, just amazing. Highly worth it for anyone considering the purchase, especially if you don't already have a lot of their catalog.

Coincidentally, also applied to the Rangers....

Fan-fucking-tastic.

I know it's because I'm over-tired that I can't get this song out of my head now.

But I'll blame you guys for it anyway. Therefore, you must share the burden.

FUCK YEAH.

Hah!!! Ever since I got my new iPod, I've been rockin' the Winwood too.

3rd day of school without students and more bad weather due tomorrow.

I've been listening to Incubus a lot lately.

kevin devine

Good shit. Better with a hit though.

I'm sorry.

Quiet, you.

Ive been all about heavily lyric intensive acoustic rock.

What Incubus? If it's Make Yourself or earlier, good stuff. If not, I think I agree with Toph.

Enjoy Incubus is my favorite album of theirs. It's actually fun.



I've been back to listening to Garbage again.

Everyone not listening to music that can be found in my iTunes library is a cretin.

He's just cranky because xcheck wanted to trade him for downgoesbrown.

lately am been listening to lady gaga's songs...though am not a fan of hers but i kinda like her songs...
