Stephen's List of Music You Should Hear

'Sung Tongs', Animal Collective
These guys kill.

'UFO', Need New Body
Saw these guys live--they shred.

'Church Gone Wild/Chirpin' Hard', Hella
Math pounding art rock. You will be surprised.

'To Mega Therion', Celtic Frost
"Metal Jousters"--a must-own!

'Sink Ye - Swim Ye', Finn MacCuill
Scottish folk with progressive/psych touches. But pretty traditional.

'The Woods', Sleater-Kinney
This band tried really hard on this record and it shows. A meltdown.

'Feathers', Dead Meadow
Saw them live recently. It was a swank ooze! Stereophonics--Just Kidding.

'Don't Climb on and Take the Holy Water', Kinski
Terminally underrated big SOUND from Seattle. Nice people! Top tunes! Weird actor! Hot daughter!

'No Wow', the Kills
I listened to 10 CDs on the listening station and this one was the best, with Daft Punk coming in second. I guess I like Minimal Things with drum machines...

'Employment', Kaiser Chiefs
...although song six by this band called Kaiser Chiefs was a cool guilty pleasure. They're English and remind me of Blur.

PHOIOEI (blastocyst), Friday, 21 October 2005 20:51 (twenty years ago)

one year passes...

There once was an empire chase
Known as a great, great game
And one of its rooks came from Stoke-on-Trent
And Mortimer was his name

An impotent tea-bag spazz
Pride of the vicar caste
Sent off to Asia
Expansion land
Determined to be a man x5

He loved a nice sag aloo
The long, lazy afternoons
But soon he was singing
A different tune
It went something just like this:

A billion flies on a horse's tail
The spirit of a late, lame raj
Punjabi's finest, bring me your wine list
As the news comes across the air today:
"Tension grows in Afghanistan
Carbine bullets could settle the score"--
I had a crap gin tonic it wounded me
Send my way off on one
Send my way off on one, two, three, four

Steve Shasta, Saturday, 14 July 2007 18:30 (eighteen years ago)

I'd like to go to India
Live in a big white house in the forest
Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano

"Stephen Malkmus of American cult act, Pavement, rummages about in his tattered shoulder bag for several minutes, unearthing a tape from 1971 by the German band, Popol Vuh. 'Unbelievably beautiful, unbelievably strange music', he enthuses."

Ward Fowler, Saturday, 14 July 2007 19:11 (eighteen years ago)

haha

admrl, Saturday, 14 July 2007 23:59 (eighteen years ago)
