She was calling Wiiiiildfiiiiiiiire. She was calling Wiiiiiiildfiiiiiiiire. She was calling Wi-i-i-i-i-i-ld-fi-i-i-i-ire.

Don't ask me why, I just can't let it go...

New Pornographers - Twin Cinema
New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
Boy - Every Page You Turn
Engineers - S/T
Elbow - Leaders of the Free World
Bedouin Soundclash - Sounding A Mosaic
Jann Arden - Greatest Hurts
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
Dogs Die In Hot Cars - Please Describe Yourself
Deadly Snakes - Porcella
Spirit of the West - (not sure which one, it was in Hubby's truck)
Kevin Gilbert - The Shaming of the True.

And I watched the first half of Green Days' Bullet In A Bible DVD. Great DVD but the sound quality is very inconsistent.

I have been enjoying Frank Zappa Guitar.

Also been listening to Pandora internet radio. You pick a song or group and it creates a station with all similar tunes/artists. You tell it if you like or dislike what they pick and eventually it plays all what you like. You can configure up to 100 personal stations.

The Tuesday thread isn't the only thing dead here.

Got my mitts on a Creatures bootleg that freaking rules. Occasionally I take a break and spin a Siouxsie bootleg. Got a DVD of an 81 German performance that should be ready to view any day now so I'm looking forward to that.

On the non-bootleg side I did go out today and grab Action Action which holds a bit of promise. Very much a poppier version of the Faint so buyer beware. I think I'll enjoy it but 'tis too soon to tell.

Also grabbed that She Wants Revenge disc that Jar mentioned the other day. Just had time to give it a skip button aided glance so far. I dunno, makes no effort to update anything as far as I can tell, which isn't all that far. The jury isn't out, it hasn't even been seated yet.

That's about it. Still jacking around with a lot of gear issues. Just got my MX 700 remote control. The 76 page manual was a bit daunting but I'm making progress. In the end this better make my life easier or I'm going to be royally pissed. Today I also added 25 lbs of lead shot to the speakers as the manual suggests. Actually it made a surprising difference in terms of bass impact, and they weren't especially shabby in that area before.

Anyway, need to do some room treatments to improve acoustics and then I can begin the hunt for the first killer album of 2006 in earnest.

Caravan & The New Symphonia - the band didles with a symphony back in 1973.

Proto-Kaw - Before Became After. I don't know, this got raving reviews but I must be missing something. I'll have to listen some more. It just doesn't have the musical hooks that Kansas had. It is heavier though than I expected it to be.

David Myers Plays Genesis. Myers was the keyboard player in The Musical Box from their start until 2004. Here he plays a number of older Genesis tunes on the grand piano.

Okay, FA. Are you trying to tell me that you listened to all of those albums today? Or is the Tuesday thread for all of the albums you listened to in the past week?

My listening pleasure has been pretty much more of the same this week, I'm afraid. But I did do something interesting (and off-topic) this week that I'd like to share.

After putting up with the hassles of vision-correction for over 30 years, I finally got my eyeballs lasered on Friday. It was fast and relatively painless (after the first 5 hours or so), and now I can see 20/20 without contacts or glasses.

Sorry to jack the thread, but I'm pretty torqued up over this. Carry on.

Lately:

The 88 - Over and Over
I expected something a little more on the punk side (not sure why) but this is heavily Beatles and Kinks influenced. Nice, but haven't spent a ton of time with it yet.

Boris - Akuma No Uta
Wow, this is some rockin' sh*t. Good stuff, but I wish they didn't have the space-pop interludes.

High On Fire - Blessed Black Wings
I can't get enough of this one.

Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
In my estimation, one of his best albums.

Gang Gang Dance - God's Money
I've only listened to this once, but my reaction was: WTF is this?

Bonnie "Prince" Billie - I See a Darkness

Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine

That may have been more than one week. I just grabbed the stack and started typing.

English Settlement is in heavy rotation when I grab the Carvin lately. (I don't want to have to actually learn anything new. Sort of an air guitar mentality, I guess.)

I was going to tell you to "do the math genius", but after looking at the list and since I didn't post until after 3:00pm, I guess that it could be possible that I did listen to all those disks today....if I didn't sleep. But since we share genetic sleeping habits..."do the math genius!". :p

And you should be torqued up! Congratulations Mr M. I can only imagine how great it must feel to wake up in the morning, open your eyes, and be able to see clearly. I too have been wearing glasses full-time for 30 years. I would give up my entire CD collection and all future purchases to have unassisted 20/20 vision. But I'm not a good candidate for long-term success with this surgery. You, however, enjoy your new eyes!!

My week has not been too musical.

In short,

Bobby Bare -- The Moon Was Blue
Jackson Browne -- Saturate Before Using & Late For the Sky
U2 - War
The Who - My Generation (Deluxe Edition)

Took a break from new music (cleansing the old palatte with comfortably old music), other than the Bobby Bare which sounds good'n'old, any way.

I would tell you that I'm even more torqued up because my son is home after his one-year tour of duty in Baghdad. I feel a whole lot better when I go to sleep at night and when I wake up in the morning, and the rest of the day is pretty f<a>uckin' good too!

As for music, I already mentioned the first three on Sunday, but....

Arizona Amp and Alernator
Clear Lake - Amber
Cat Power - The Greatest
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Over the Rhine - Ohio

Oh yeah, I also got my hands on two of my favorite foreign film DVDs: Jean De Florette and Manon of Spring. Both are the original MGM releases and they weren't cheap, but I had to have 'em. It took me months of bidding on e-bay and bartering on Amazon to finally land them. Both are used by in perfect condition...well, close to perfect anyway. We watched the first on Saturday and will see the other this weekend. They are actually Parts 1 and 2 of the same story if you're familiar with them. Great stuff!

Kerry Livgren - One of several Possible Musics - acoustic instrumental fluff. zzzz.

Pendragon - Believe. The new one. Typical Pendragon stuff.

PT - Warazawa - good.

The Fixx - React. I doggoned LOVE The Fixx. Muy Excelente.

Gary Numan - Living Ornaments 1981. Uh huh live Numan. Wish there was video...

Thin Lizzy - Johnny the Fox - excellent. On vinyl to boot.

The Police - Synchronicity concert, laserdisc. I was at this gig. Best part? Stewart Copeland on drums. That guy was awesome. Sting of sourse had the chicks throwing panties at him (must be nice)

I actually figured out the "big surprise" at the end of Manon of Spring, but I'm probably not the first one. They're two great movies though, even if the ending was a bit predictable. They just don't make 'em like that any more.

Just moved house so things are a bit hectic, all the systyem and CD's packed up but thank god for car players and ipods.

Fortunately managed to leave a few out so had time to listen to....

Cat Power - The Greatest, this is really really good, I was a mild fan but now I'm converted.

Bonnie Prince Billy - The Brave and The Bold, lots of cover versions that are a bit of a yawn so far but it's early days yet I suppose, maybe I wasn't in the mood.

Artic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, pretty much what I expected and it's ok, the vocalist has a great style.

Agree, those are both excellent films. It's funny, you don't need fancy special effects, extreme action, or gratuitous sex for a good film... just a solid story & good crew (good writers & talented actors). But even Hollywood tends to load (ruin) those kinda films with political sub text. Still, there's plenty of great classics out there. It's even surprising how many movies made way back in the 30's are really, really good as well.

I've started watching a lot more foreign things recently, as there's just too much medicocrity in US films (I'm sure there are many good lesser knowns... but they're often too hard to hear about or (then) find.) A few days ago I picked up Kieslowski's "The Decalogue." I got it 'cause I had a big fat coupon (for Borders) and this is NOT a cheap package... 3 DVDs in all! I hope it's as good as it's billed. One thing about films is you can never be sure, simply from reviews... you have to see it yourself. LOL.

Good Tuesday morning everyone!

Starting the day off with a recent aquisition:

Mark Seliger's Rusty Truck ~ Broken Promises

Rolling Stone photographer turned singer/songwriter? Could happen ;)

Gotta give the guy credit, there's some damn fine songs on this disk. Of course he had a few folks lending a hand - Jakob Dylan, Lenny Kravitz, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.

AMG describes the disk as a "countrified, blues-tinged, no-nonsense rock & roll blend that's real in heart and soul". I'd say that sums it up nicely.

Moving on to my second selection of the morning

Third Road Home ~ Venus in Retrograde

A 2004 release that I just discovered and is easily my top pick for February. From CDBaby - "Named "one of the best CDs of 2004" by the Indie Acoustic Project, Third Road Home offers a soul-stirring blend of earthy Americana that is as evocative, compelling, and ethereal as it is warm and accessible".

A double thumbs up from me.

I'm a monster Tom Russell fan, so I'm thrilled to hear that he has another release on the way. Based on this preview EP, which is a mix of originals and covers, it will be another excellent addition to my collection!

Tom Russell ~ The Pugilist - EP

Love and Fear is scheduled for release sometime in late March I believe.

This horse gets deader by the week.

Two new things for me this past week:

Two Gallants~ What The Toll Tells- 2 lp 180g Saddle Creek vinyl. No idea if anyone around here listened to their debut, The Throes, but this one seems a logical progression to me. Read it described somewhere as a cross between Bright Eyes with balls and Dylan. Being relatively unfamiliar with Bright Eyes, I can't speak to the comparison. It is very raw and urgent-sounding music. I like it.

Willie Nile~ Streets of NewYork- a rare new release from one of my heros. Jangly guitars, unpretentious songs, and just a damned good rock n'roll time. And they somehow managed national distribution from Sony, so maybe a few people will buy it.

Entombed - WOLVERINE BLUES
Dillinger Escape Plan - CALCULATING INFINITY

Nothing really new to me this week, but I did get a new CD player put in my SUV, so I don't have to rely on cassettes any more. Here's what I spun:

Fu Manchu - California Crossing

Superchunk - No Pocky For Kitty
What a fine album. It's been quite a while since I listened to this, but it never disappoints.

Sugar - Copper Blue

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

Ted Leo/Pharmacists - Shake the Sheets

Kate Bush - The Kick Inside

and a couple of CD-Rs made from MP3s:

(1) a mix of downloads from Pitchfork

(2) Kirsty MacColl songs from the Stiff years

Lots of John Vanderslice. Just totally digging him. Love that "demo-yet-finished" quality to the assembly of the tunes. Combined with earnest lyrics (as opposed to self-conscious), and the occasional cool warped production (case in point, "Interlude 2" from Time Travel is Lonely), makes for a delightful listening experience.

Production is too bright -- Troy would like it.

I downloaded Pink but haven't had enough spin time to see if I want to buy it or just delete the damn thing. ;) Kinda like a faster Melvins, only Japanese.

I also downloaded most of Tapes 'n Tapes The Loon a couple of days ago. Funny that Pitchfork reviewed it today. Only a couple of spins so far but I'll probably end up buying this one. I'll need to make a CD-RW copy to listen to on the way to work to know for sure first.

The Beatles - A Hard Day's Night (DESS Blue Box)
The Beatles - Revolver (DESS Blue Box)
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside
The Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame (MFSL)

Hey, this Tapes 'n Tapes The Loon is seriously f<a>ucking good! Got to spin it a couple more times today and I'm definitely buying this one, and soon. Hope it's out there on LP.

Yeah, the Pavement influence is pretty obvious with this band. Actually it kinda sounds more like Tweedy's voice singing in Malkmus' style, with a mix of raunchy Malko-esque guitar, a bit of Violent Femmes, and at times a touch of The Feelies. Even so they have enough of their own unique character to keep the songs engaging and interesting enough to make you want to keep coming back to them.

Also been listening to the title track of the new Destroyers album a lot. Funny that this should grow on me when Clap Your Hands Say Yeah did not, even though they have the same basic sound. Weird.

I downloaded most of the new Calexico today and decided to delete it without hearing it first. Mp3 sucks ass and I'll just wait for the proper album to be officially released. I'll preview bands with mp3 but I came to my senses and would rather not hear a sonically awful representation of music I know I'll like, especially since Calexico's albums normally have pretty good sound.
