Deadstring Brothers ~ S/T

Hey, cool, nice to see you around these parts again Dave. Got the new Deadstring Brothers coming out tomorrow at the top of my list. Starving Winter Report. Lots to like about those Detroit cowboys. Got a real Stonesy take on Americana.

Hey, where'd you guys come from? Welcome to Audioreview's Twilight Zone - also known as Rave Recs!

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone. And where we talk about Izz and Califone and Proto-Kaw and Zazou, and even Cat Vomit and girly beers.

You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone!

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, the Twilight Zone!

You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension - a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into the Twilight Zone.

This highway leads to the shadowy tip of reality. You're on a through route to the land of the different, the bizarre, the unexplainable. Go as far as you like on this road. Its limits are only those of the mind itself. Ladies and gentlemen, you're entering the wondrous dimension of imagination. Next stop - the Twilight Zone!

Hey-I have been looking for the gateway for ages. Wonderous sounds and sights I am experiencing right now.

GMichael-Fear not I have found it.

Swish-I too really dig the Editors-The Back Room.

Let the adventure begin

Hey Davey. Yeah, Deadstring Brothers are realitivly new discovery for me. I'm looking forward to their new release as well, but probably won't get to hear it until this weekend.

I spun a bunch of Porcupine Tree this week as mentioned in another thread...Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia.

Also Sister Hazel's self-titled disk. I still don't understand why this band hasn't seen more commercial success. They've got all the elements for some serious radio play...oh yeah...they also happen to be good (IMHO)...maybe that's why the radio doesn't play them more.

Klaatu's orchestral version of Hope, which is my current addiction.

Al Stewart - Between the Wars

Chris DeBurgh - Spanish Train and Other Stories - I'm trying to play Lonely Sky on my guitar, but the vocal range is killing me!

New Pornographers - Twin Cinema

Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder

What's spinning

As happens frequently when I'm around, something by Califone, or in this case, their previous incarnation of Red Red Meat. This one's called Gauze, and I don't always know what it means, some blood and crying in this case maybe, but it makes perfect sense anyway ...

mink eyed, marble eyed
in the gauze, in the weeds
by the drain, red on pale
there's a nail by the vent
sweet for your heel in the gauze
marble eyed, waiting there
kiss your mouth to shut you up

[Mike]

Beth Orton - Comfort of Strangers, produced by Jim O Rourke it's more of a move back to her folky acoustic roots and with that fantastic voice it's a real grower, plus it's nice to hear an album that isn't compressed to the max. Davey you might like this.

Ian Love - Self titled album, dont know much about this guy but he hails from a punk background with hard drinking and rehab, but listening to this he's taken a bit of a u-turn. It's a very nice acoustic affair.

NP Sufjan Stevens - Casamir Pulaski Day, just can't seem to stop playing this...

Cheers
Mike

There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man.

Yeah, but where's Rae?

Light listening week due to traveling.

XTC - Paradiso, Amsterdam - March 8, 1982 (FM)
Yes - Tokyo - March 10, 1973 (audience)
Gong - Expresso II

[-Jar-]

Swiper, no swiping!

(aww man!!)

[Mr MidFi]

The only new-ish things I spun this past week include:

Rogue Wave - Descended Like Vultures
Every track is nice and enjoyable, but none of them knock me out. Yet. I'm giving it more time. Definitely a keeper, and I'm glad I bought it, but...

The Doves - Some Cities
This ain't bad at all. Still growing, too.

WXRT: Live from the Archives Vol. 8
Chicago station puts out a charity disc every year. I'll have to make a best-of comp one of these days. Highlight (for me, anyway) on this volume is David Bowie doing a live, acoustic rendition of "Scary Monsters" vaguely in the style of Johnny Cash. Seriously.

NP: "Now or Neverland" by Midnight Oil, on the constantly shuffling iPod randomizer

[theaudiohobby]

I have the RCA Living Stereo vinyl reissue of the 1954 performance by Munch and the BSO. I listened to it over the weekend - the chorus sounds so otherworldly and eerie.

I agree with you, after what seems like a stuttering invocation, the chorus thats comes in later sounds gloriously wonderful...

I am currently 'Relaxing with Miles Davis'

[Duds]

Hey Stone, I've spun a few Danzig discs this week. Danzig II is a great cd

The last thing I spun was Samhain.

[Stone]

Hey Stone, I've spun a few Danzig discs this week. Danzig II is a great cd

Is that Lucifuge? That one and the first one are the only two I have. I don't listen to them often, but I like them. At the end of the day, though, to me nothing Danzig has done compares to that early Misfits material.

[Duds]

yeah it's Lucifuge. III - How The Gods Kill is very good too

hmmm...I have that one, too - the cheap original jazz classics lp (most of them sound just as good as the 180gm deluxe versions). Haven't listened to Relaxin' in a long, long time. I'll give it a spin this weekend.

Back to Daphnis et Chloe -- sort of. Another ballet that I would like to get is Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet. Do you have a recommendation for a particular version of this piece?
