Today's Tunage Sandwich

[Dave_G]

Ya Finchie, whata ya say are the lousy XTC toons on that comp?

Anyhouse, I played:

The new Pallas concert dvd. Man these guys are killer. I wish I could go to nearfest this year, only to see TMB and Pallas and Strawbs. This dvd is one of the few I can actually watch the whole thing. If you like IQ you should like this one a lot, I do, it's excellent.

Queen - Innuendo. Excellent stuff on this.

Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent. Ya I still like this set from 1975. Nobody played like Ted did back then.

Ultravox - Vienna. I liked this album the first time I heard it and I still like it a lot. Ure's voice was great on this one.

John Foxx - Metamatic - new wave synth doom gloom weirdness that is stunning. This is a way required album for anyone who likes old school new wave synth, and it's real heavy on the synth too.

Jean Luc Ponty - Enigmatic Ocean.

The new Fixx cd - it's getting better! Probably will end up liking it a lot after a while.

The Tangent - gift fron Troy. I can tolerate this at best, too much noodling and wishy washy jazz/prog/whatever Roine stuff for me to really dig.

Camel - Nod and Wink - I like this cd a whole lot. Muy excellento listen alone stuff on the hifi.

Regards,

Greazer

It's been a while since I spun DOUBLE NICKELS.. too long! One of my favorite pieces of vinyl is their PUNCH LINE ep.. I must have spun that thing a thousand times.. and it's easy considering it's only about 12 minutes on each side! But what an exhillerating listen. I finally got it autographed by Mr. Watt a few years ago..

OCEAN RAIN is just fantastic. I never warmed up to any of their other albums like I have with that one.

I'm allergic to Clapton.

I listened to Opeth's DELIVERANCE this week.. what an intense listen that is.. I like DAMNATION a lot too.. it will be very interesting to hear what they do next.

I can't remember if I listened to anything else besides my own comps this past week. Oh I spun most of RPM's Echoes of Dreams comp.. I wish he'd get in here already.

I was working on another electronic/ambient/dub mix this past week. Has some more Paul Schutze, Bill Laswell and Autechre, some Laika and some Meat Beat Manifesto, even a little Beta Band and some My Bloody Valentine and a track I stole from Chris (Salmonella Dub).. came out real nice. Dunno why I've been in the mood for this stuff recently.

Troy,

Link some of your music to your night photos and yer set for a multi media gig.

Keep at it.

You could come up with something unique.

Can you inject vocals.

Funny you mention that, but a photographer I know is currently shooting a documentary on night photography and he's doing a segment on me (!) and when I played that track for him he immediately wanted to use a section of that song (with the sinister bass sax sound) as background for a slide show of my imagery in the film. Kewl!

Yes, you can get a USB plug mic and it's just plug-n-play. I am still trying to find a cheap MIDI keyboard . . .

My guess as to Finch's clunkers:
12, 13, 15.

Finch?

Thanks Mike.

Finch?

Yatch Dance(track 12), altho it's in my collection, doesn't do much for me. Shame you didn't use Down In The Cockpit instead. I've got an LP remix of that, while long, is pretty cool. Nothing against track 13, it's kinda pretty. 15? Eh. The one that bugs me is That's Really Super, Supergirl. Makes me wanna wash my ears out with soap.

There. Happy, pappy?

So where's the Intruder?

My listening included some great toons and some really bad ones. Almost all new from either the library or the used store:

Stones year end comp. Good start-weaker middle (for me)-revs up near the end-wilts just a touch at the very end (again, for me). A couple of tracks would make my Rave Recs Best of 2003 comp and those would be-The Hidden Cameras-Ban Marriage, TV On The Radio's Staring At The Sun, and Sufjan Steven's track stands a fairly decent chance at showing up too. Thanks a ton Stone.

Trance Classics-Various Artists
Moby-Moby Songs
Moby-S/T
Uncle Dirtytoes-Foot To The Path-what was I thinking?
Marianne Faithful-20'th Century Blues -Not one thing bluesy about this and believe it or not, that's not a good thing here.
Dressed In Black-Johny Cash Tribute. Funny no matter who's singing I still hear Johnny Cash, a couple of tracks are uncanny, almost like they're doing voice impressions. No big names here Hank Williams III and Rev. Horton Heat are the only two I've even heard of.

George Thorogood-Ride Till I die-a track or two is OK, the rest blows

Ofra Haza-Desert Wind Been a fave since the early days of Sire Record samplers

Elvis Presley-30 #1 Hits. sounds great!

Neil Young-Are You Passionate?

Bing Crosby-His Greatest Hits of the 30's. The man can sing, not always the best songs, but he can sing.

Uncle Tupelo, March 16-20. Not nearly as good as I had hoped.

Nick Lowe, Dig My Mood. NO THANKYOU! I doubt even DLD would like this although Failed Christian and Man That I've Become are listenable.

Lynyrd Skynyrd-Vicious Cycle-Wow do these guys like power ballads. Too bad I don't but again, a track or two are OK.

Aphex Twin-26 Mixes For Cash-Love this one

Chris Thomas King-Dirty South Hip Hop blues, some outstanding songs on this one including the opening and Revelations

All for now.

[dld]

Failed Christian[/B] and Man That I've Become are listenable.

jc

Hey, ya gotta include High On A Hlltop as a keeper too. One of his best. And to me, Failed Christian justified the purchase price. I'd throw in two or three others that Mr. Mind just can't come up with names for right now along with The Man That I've Become.

We had our carpet replaced at home last weekend so almost all of my music was packed away last week. What i was able to listen to was what was in my car and what i received in the mail.

Allman Brothers - First and Second Set(s)
Robert Randolph and the Family Band - Unclassified
emmett swimming - fifty cent earplugs
Brown Couch - Curious
Dave Matthews - Remember Two Things
Phish - Hoist
Widespread Panic - Live From the Classic City (Disc 1)
moe. - Warts and All, Vol. 3 (Disc 1)

Also received in the mail World Party's "Goodbye Jumbo" from Swish. Thanks a ton for that one buddy! Just as great as i remembered it to be. And ChipB's Blues Deluxe 2 came yesterday. My favorite of that series. Thanks Chip for the replacement.

Sadly i have nothing on the radar that i'm looking forward to buying.

I Wanna See the Setlist for Troy's XTC comp

Here yar Craptain America.



Bonus point for the individual that can tell me which XTC song on this disc the lyric "The Thunder In Your Head" is from.

[Mike]

Amy Whitehouse – Frank, R&B with a touch of soulful jazz
Ryan Adams – Love is Hell, a mini gem which the record company rejected
Joss Stone – Soul Sessions, has a raw 70’s sound to it
Goldfrapp – Black Cherry
The Strokes – Room On Fire
Muse – Absolution
Peter Gabriel - So
Cranberrries – Wake up and Smell the Coffee
Yes – Ultimate remastered collection, cracking stuff especially the 70’s material
Black Eyed Peas – Elephunk, IMO better than Outkast
Dandy Warhols – Welcome to the Monkey House
Alex Gopher – You My Baby and I, worth it for the sampled Billy Holiday track

Comps
Hedkandi – Beach House comp
JC’s best of 2003
Govt Mule from Tony W, fantastic live sound over 3 discs
Yello - Comp

ps Great XTC cover Troy

Cheers
Mike

[Dave_G]

6,7,13,14,17 I bet are on Finchies clunker list.

And maybe that lyric is encased in 1 of those songs. Those are the least known by me of the tracklist.

I like the artwork a lot.

Dave

[DariusNYC]

There are no clunkers on that comp as far as I can see. Nice!

If I was doing an XTC comp, I couldn't resist putting "Living Through Another Cuba" on there, because I can never get enough of when Partridge ends the refrain with the big "-BA!" in Cuba. Call me shallow.

I'll have to think a bit about the answer to your trivia question.
