"Can't Stand It," "Nothingsevergonnastandinmywayagain," Shot in the Arm," "Heavy Metal Drummer," and "Hummingbird" are all really catchy. "Reservations" kind of is too in its own special way.

 

 

EDIT: Summerteeth is such a great album. It's Wilco's The Bends.

I was scanning through the acoustic stuff on LimeWire and came across Linkin Park doing an acoustic cover of Dust in the Wind

 

I didn't download it, but still...*shudder*

Why is Esham so underaperciated?

Good Question.

.Been listening to some D.A.F. lately. Great stuff.

 

.If you ask me, Ege Bamyasi is the best album Can ever did. Sure, it doesn't have anything like "Halleluwah", but I think it flows better than Tago Mago. Also, Soon over Bambaluma and Flow Motion are underrated.

 

.Is J.Dilla's new (and most likely last) album The Shining any good?

You too, eh? I thought I had some ironic spyware or something.

 

Need help with an REM tune:

 

Hey, you, nobody told you what to do....tick....tock...tick....tock

 

Anyone?

Drive is the name of the song you are looking for. Good song, overrated but still good album (Automatic For The People).

[FroGG_NeaL 0]

That was driving me crazy after I read dude's post.

 

When I read the name of the track, I was like ohhh yeah...

Shit was on the tip of my tongue.

 

 

".Is J.Dilla's new (and most likely last) album The Shining any good?"

 

I'm diggin' it. It's not quite as brilliant as Donuts, but it's close.

 

It's definetly worth a download. I'm gonna buy it soon.

 

I'm glad dude's gotten more famous since his passing. The cash made off all his posthumous work will actually go straight to his moms, family and his people.

Also for Rush, get Fly by Night, A Farewell to Kings and Hemispheres and for live albums, definitly check out All the Worlds A Stage

RB51 seems to be more a fan of the guitar-era late 70's Rush.

 

I'm more a fan of the early 80's synth-y Rush. I'd recommend Permanent Waves, Moving Pictures and Signals

Speaking of prog, I've seen on VH1-Classic that Dream Theater are releasing yet another 3-CD live set. If you haven't been keeping score, that's their third 3-CD live set in five years. They've essentially alternated studio/live since '99.

 

They're supposed to have a diversity to them, akin to a King Crimson or Zappa. The live CDs don't quite show that much however, as far as I've seen.

 

What's worse is I'll probably still wind up buying it though

I'm diggin' most of what I've gotten downloaded so far. I'll give all this stuff a listen and let you know what I think of it.

 

I appreciate it, ni...dude.

Right now I'm listening to "Blown to Smithereens: The Best of the Smithereens." Good ol' bar band rock & roll.

Actually, after looking back through my DT collection, they've essentially alternated studio/live from the beginning

sam cooke's 'live at the harlem square club' is the best live album i've ever heard in my life.

[vivalaultra 0]

Ya know what band I haven't heard from in a while? ...Clinic. Anybody remember Clinic?

[Murmuring Beast 0]

I saw the Stones on Friday as I somehow managed to get a free ticket. It was hilarious but they were pretty good.

Yeah, like em. Surprised the art-rock crowd didn't take to them more.

Right fucking on!

 

I'm glad someone else thinks so. I have a wonderful history with that album. It's one of the first I can remember actually downloading off of Napster. I listened to it once, thought "hmm," and then got way smarter and got into it insanely so my first year of college. I found a used copy maybe two, three years ago, and I started listening to it even more. Sometime this spring I realized it's unquestionably all-time top 10 material for me. I think his studio recordings are great and charming as well, but the live album is on a totally different level. Never heard or seen a performer connect with a crowd as strongly as he does on there.

And, I know Art Brut are stupid, but I really like "Emily Kane." Awkward, stilted, minimal, and I can't stop listening.

[Man Who Sold The World 0]

Stone Sour's "Through the Glass", which I believe is their new single, is stuck in my head. Really.

 

Who prefers Stone Sour over Slipknot?

[Lord of The Curry 0]

DJ Shadow vs Homicidal Fruitclocks

 

This is pretty awesome though I wouldn't recommend watching it stoned.

[Guest DRH 502]

Hey can anyone here help me out...i'm looking for the artist who sings this song...I remember it from when I was a kid but Google isn't helping me at all on this one. The chorus went something like...

 

"What if Jesus came back like that?

2 Months early and hooked on crack?"

 

I know there is more than that but does anyone know this song? Its like country/rock i'm not sure which.

[Gary Floyd 0]

Is the new Roots album "Game Theory" worth getting? I've heard good things, but was really disappointed by their last album.

[snuffbox 0]

Yes, it is very worth getting.

 

I'm enjoying the new (finally) Bob Seger single. I will have to attend his upcoming tour even if he does the obvious/terrible and lets Kid Rock open for him.

[C Dubya 04 0]

Just wanted to say that the new Gov't Mule album is really amazing. It's the best 70's rock album to be released this year (and I mean that in a good way).

I like Art Brut in general, mostly because they really are so gloriously, amusingly stupid.

[Gary Floyd 0]

Yes, it is very worth getting.

Thanks man.

I don't care forLoaded beyond "Sweet Jane" and "Who Loves The Sun." For some reason I just like the arrangements on Songs for Drella.

I stand by this. Drella is so cool and minimalistic, and "A Dream" just depresses the fuck out of me, because it really shows how all the Factory guys just leeched off Warhol, taking his kindness for granted, and treated him like crap, including/especially Lou Reed. I don't know to what extent Warhol was crucial to the Velvet Underground becoming a legendary rock band, but it still seems like Lou was kind of a douchebag to him. And honestly, could Andy Warhol have fucked things up for the Velvets more than Steve Sesnick did?

 

On Loaded: Okay, it's not so bad. It's grown on me. However, I have reservations about actually calling it a Velvet Underground album. Maureen Tucker is out, and John Cale had been out for some time, so without Maureen's minimalist cymbal-eschewing drumming and John's experimentalism and cool Welsh accent, you lose a lot of what made the VU's sound unique. Also, a lot of these guitar parts seem too advanced to be Lou or Sterling's work. Now granted, it doesn't feel as ersatz as Squeeze, but if somebody had been going on and on and on about how influential and groundbreaking this band was, and handed me Loaded, I wouldn't see the big deal.

Yeah, like em. Surprised the art-rock crowd didn't take to them more.

 

Clinic's got a new album, Visitations, due in October, I believe. You probably haven't heard of them because, save for two erratic albums, they haven't really done anything noteworthy since they made their big splash with Internal Wrangler.

[Guest Felonies!]

Eleanor Friedberger sounds really cute.
