What are you listening to? 2011

Barbara Keith - s/t (sucks) Which Barbara Keith is this, her first or second album? Neither one sucks in my book, but I do like her second one better.

I don't know, it opens with a cover of All Along the Watchtower and that pretty much killed it for me.
I'm not really a Little Feat fan, either. I noticed their names all over the jacket.
Yeah, "sucks" is a total knee-jerk response, but I'm reviewing it for inclusion on my radio show and I have some standards, I guess.
I mean, the record actually sounds fine, but her voice wasn't really doing it for me, I guess.

Scott that Arthur Gee sleeve is incredible.
I will have to look for that one.

That's her second. The opener isn't the strongest song to start the record with, but The Bramble and The Rose is great.

i love barbara keith! plus, she is my neighbor and she and her husband are awesome.

MEANWHILE, this christopher cloud album is awesome and i look it up and christopher cloud is actually my hero Tommy Boyce!!! who knew? and the band he plays with on this is AIM and i love the aim album i have. this album rules!!!

i love tommy's voice. totally a dead ringer for mark lindsay. my other hero. wait, i actually have three heroes. tommy boyce, mark lindsay, and drake levin. and arthur gee. okay, four heroes.

wait, tommy just mentioned doris day on this album and i'm remembering that terry melcher is my other hero. so, i have five heroes. tommy boyce, mark lindsay, drake levin, arthur gee, and terry.

and barbara keith's husband was terry's best friend growing up. he has great stories about him. for your information.

i can't believe how great this album is. i'm in love. didn't have a clue that it existed before last night.

tommy has mentioned mick jagger twice already on this album.

i love barbara keith! plus, she is my neighbor
Shit.

wau @ centaurus

would also like to hosanna this statement

the terry manning album which is godhead

"trashy dog" is like somebody decided to invent new wave in 1969

"gary ogan & bill lamb – portland I love this record."

everyone should love this record. "i wanna die" is all time for me. thanks, ivo watts-russell!!! i owe you a pint of ale!

when the beatles sing this I can't believe those chipmunks could break a hymen if they had a hammer and a stake but terry manning sounds like he's not only gonna remove yr underwear w/ his teeth he just might eat em too

THIS is the beatles cover to beat all beatles covers though:

the who - live at leeds
the who - quadrophenia
stevie wonder - songs in the key of life

lol work iTunes

Radiohead - The King of Limbs
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake
School of Seven Bells - Disconnect From Desire
Sleigh Bells - Treats
Glasser - Ring

I wouldn't mind working there! My workplace has CDs sent from a head office who once censored the "Goddamn" in Sophie Ellis Bextor's Murder On The Dancefloor.

well this is the iTunes on my computer, which I listen to on headphones

back in the day of shared libraries I went a good 3 weeks allowing people to connect to my library before remembering that I had "Ass N Titties" by DJ Assault and "Fuck All Night" by Mocky on there

Bad Brains I Against I

the terry manning album which is godhead

Oh hell yeah! Is that Steve Drake album one of those deals where he sang over other people's songs?

Scott's posts make me realize I don't know shit about music. :)

Anyway, enjoying the new Low album at the moment. They can basically release the same album over and over and I'll be happy.

listening to some records i got for the store yesterday.

band of susans - hope against hope

primitons - happy all the time (80's jangle stuff. eh...)

roadsaw - rawk n' roll (double vinyl stoner stuff. what load by metallica would have sounded like if it had been good.)

mean season - grace (not my bag or whatever...)

def leppard - on through the night

krokus - metal rendez-vous (bought this when i was 12!)

krokus - pay it in metal

stone - s/t (the band metallica ripped off)

i can't live without it comp (90's stuff that i never listened to at the time or since. botch, merrimac, amber inn, closure, guyver-one, breakwater, milhouse, slow side down, bor, perilisium cantos, in/humanity, curll) (it's okay. not really my bag either. i'll bet my pal bull from policy of 3 and my pal don from ink & dagger were friends with all these bands. just a hunch.)

heavy pettin - s/t

trust - repression (this will sound xenophobic or something, but this isn't my fave trust album cuz the french language vocals are SO in your face and the guitars are buried a bit. i dunno, it's distracting for some reason.)

flotsam and jetsam - doomsday for the deceiver

nothing's quiet on the eastern front comp (this is more my speed. in fact i had to take it off or i would have ended up keeping it and i can't keep EVERYTHING cool, you know? assfactor 4, black army jacket, brutal truth, coercion, c.r., devoid of faith, disassociate, dropdead, eucharist, halfman, judas iscariot, monster x, suppression)

split lip - for the love of the wounded (definitely not my thing)

trash - burnin' rock

damien - every dog has its day

headpins - line of fire

oz - III warning

helstar - burning star

(got some testament and over kill vinyl and various R.E.M.-ish stuff along the lines of primitons: beat rodeo, bongos, eieio, lifeboat. probably spin some of that. just in case there is a jangle thing i missed that i might like. i guess bongos weren't jangle though. were they?)

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Inner Mounting Flame
Sonic Youth - Goo
Sonic Youth - Dirty

dig this band of susans album more than i thought i would. was never a huge fan or anything.

wish susan stenger had sung more in band of susans

late last night/today:

Death - Scream Bloody Gore
Waka Flocka Flame - Flockaveli
Thurston - Demolished Thoughts
Katy B - On A Mission
Justice Yeldham - Cicatrix
Bo Ningen - s/t

john coltrane - stellar regions
james blake - james blake (still not sure what to make of this yet, it has its moments though)

Jimmy Giuffre, Tangents In Jazz
Slade, Whatever Happened To Slade
Loose Fur, Born Again In The USA
Shorty Rogers, Creative West Coast Swing (4CD)
Karlheinz Stockhausen, Mantra, performed by Pestova/Meyer Piano Duo & Jan Panis
Sonic Youth, Sonic Nurse

^^love the dad rock choices in that list (loose fur, sonic nurse)

Panda Bear, Tomboy + Live at Governor's Island (included in the download coupon that came with the album. Love this live version of Tomboy, guitar has that awesome 70's Michael Rother sound/pulse)
Robag Wruhme - Thora Vukk (sounds very nice but also a bit too much rooted in early 00's cologne soundspectrum maybe? very familiar sounds. maybe this needs more time to properly sink in though)
Tom Trago - Iris
Serge Gainsbourg - L'Homme à Tête de Chou (put this on when my sis was over with her 2 year old son (named Serge btw ;-), who loves to dance to music, and he widened his eyes in amazement when Gainsbourg's voice entered the stage during the first song (title track). Fantastic).
