oh and definitely pick up the first Red Red Meat. It sounds like a faster Jimmywine Majestic. And original singing. Shorter songs.

And what do you think of Califone, SenorLorax?
― W4LTER, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 03:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Califone is constructed perfectly but it puts me to sleep. The lyrics are great though.

Yeah I like em. sorry, back to RRM and the Grifters

Do you like the Rolling Stones?

I went all the way through the first Grifters: C er D? link sorry for repost.
maybe these two bands need an update c/d.
For one thing, the first link didn't mention anything of their first two eps or the fact that almost all of their singles and songs on various artists compilations sound totally different than the album versions. THey are better actually. Take one of my favorite grifters songs - "Make It Happen" on Ten Cent Fix compilation. The orgianl song was calle Tipped Over. Like most of their singles, it is the lo-fi version, which I prefer.

I've always loved the Meat. I saw them open for the Smashing Pumpkins and went out and bought Jimmy - I sent in a poem to the P.O. Box and Tim Rutili sent back a polaroid art piece interpretation of it (hey, I was a freshman in high school so it was cool to me).
Those three albums beginning with Jimmy are very strong to me. I never understood some of the lame reviews of Bunny - I thought it was a very tight album.
― humansuit, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 16:12 (sixteen years ago) link
"Bunny Gets Paid" is the band's high water mark. It's the perfect blend of the Stonesy swagger of the first two records and the fractured beauty of their later stuff.

Nicely put. Here's what I mean from allmusic:
The first half of the album is a letdown, never really catching fire. All of the ingredients that made past Red Red Meat recording expeditions so successful are present, but the actual songs aren't very strong.
I never found this to be true. Carpet of Horses for one can't be denied.

About 13 new Red Red Meat and Tim Rutili songs (demos). Just as good as their other albums (probably better than half of them).

For those of you who missed it, I'm posting to this thread again so that you can hear the red red meat demos I found.

man- I only listen to the same old music. but then I found sin ropas which is goodness in the vein of red red meat meeting an experimental califone...
but now I'm back to square 1 again. I bought the Hot Monkey cd recently, that was good and all. But I think its time that I start branching out to other singer/songwriters that are not affiliated with red red meat or grifters. I just wish I you all could suggest something good.

Can anyone hook me up with a better than 128kbs rip of Jimmywine Majestic? Sounds like something I'd love, but I'd want to sample it before buying it since the cheapest I can find is about 10 bucks with shipping.

Bunny Gets Paid deluxe edition.There is another link (in my link above) to a Pitchfork article (ahem) where someone admits that Red Red Meat aren't just "good" like their reviews initially stated, but are actually "pretty great stuff"... 1.Someone on pitchfork made a bad review2.they re-listened to the record a few times3.they changed their mind
IS STEP #2 SO HARD? WHY PITCHFORK WHY??!? WHY MUST COMMONERS LISTEN AND REVIEW MUSIC WHEN THEY HAVE NOT YET EVOLVED TO KNOW WHAT SOUNDS REALLY GOOD (or really bad) UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE AND THEY ARE OLD AND HAVE WASTED A GOOD CHUNK OF THEIR LIFE LISTENING TO WHAT THEY NOW REALIZE IS CRAPPY MUSIC, WHY?!?!?
WHY can't people notice genius to begin with? I blame a lack of variety of music in most people's life, and no years of experience listening to challenging music, or all music for that matter. A qualification of being a reviewer for pitchfork should be acknowledgment of band _____ and obvious dislike for band ______.

Developing the right (better) musical aesthetic must also involve following through the right life experiences, thus providing the proper knowledge to make assessments on what should be aesthetically pleasing or not – meaning that some people suck at life and that's why they cant realize what they are listening to is good until it’s too late. These unenlightened people need to get a better grasp of life’s greater intricacies and profundity or else they will never ‘awaken’ themselves to great music and remain oblivious dolts that are missing out on both awesome music and LIFE.
YEAH, being unlearned and inexperienced means you suck at life and will never get the greater picture or good music for that matter.

on another note, the guy who wrote the pichfork article I mentioned above is OK with me, and he has good music tastes judging from his top 100 albums from the 90's list.

I liked Red Red Meat, but I thought The Grifters were great, better than Pavement or Sebadoh or a half dozen other bands they got compared to from the same time or at least that is one reporters opinion.
