    My mom came down from NorCal for a visit and had me listen to his version of hallelujah from her iPod. I thought it was good, but from the iPod it was just so lifeless. So I went to found the LP today at the store and WOW, obviously, there is a hell of a difference.

    Not too sure about side 1, but side 2 so far is pretty diverse and pleasing. Too bad the dude died young, seems like he'd have had some potential.

    Sweet - I'll keep an eye out for it next time I am in the record store. Wish I had $50 instead of $40, would have picked up the latest Sigor Rus. Was in the mood for mellow and then crushing smooth layers of complexity and distortion. Wish I hadn't used that other $20 for gas. Stupid car...taking away much music pleasures.

    Noddinoff, what do you know about MGMT? They are not my usual thing but I ordered their new album Congradulations. I've only heard samples. The album should be here in a couple days.

    Tonight I listened to some Talking Heads, Best of as I am not a huge fan. And rocked Ozric Tentacles, Spirals In Hyperspace. I am a huge fan of OT.

    They have an interesting approach, but you will be exhausted by the end of an entire album. For me, there's just not enough meat there. They have managed to craft a few really interesting songs however.

    MGMT? Haven't heard of them. But, I'll do a myspace search and check them out. Love Talking Heads though!

    I wondered about that but the new album was $7.99 at Amazon so I took a chance.

    Viva L'American Death Ray Music - Behold! A Pale Horse EP

    This is one strange beast (and yes, it is a beast despite having only 4 tracks). After one listen, I'm very intrigued by this, but also shaking my head in bewilderment. The first track is a fuzzed-out rocker that had my head bopping and wanting more of the same. Then came track 2, which is a psychedelic dub workthrough. And the last two tracks are nothing like either of the first two. Strange stuff, and it's a difficult listen with the differences in genres among tracks, but in a time when I am finding very little music truly enjoyable, it might just hit the spot.
    And the world will turn to flowing pink vapor stew.

    David Sanborn doesn't get a lot of traction from jazz purists as his style often borders somewhere between traditional and the Nu-Jazz. Closer stradles the line again, with a smoothness and mellow quality absent in some his more recent work. The sound quality is excellent (you can occasionally hear the rattle in his mouthpiece) and the instrumentation is spot-on. Highly recommended if you're a jazzhead in search of something "borderline different but familiar"...

    Oh here's a new one guys. Not really.

    This is one of the first albums I learned to play from start to finish. It's still to this day one of my faves.

    Anyone thinking this is a washed up grunge album, think again. Musicians of AR, try jamming with this album and you will find it's difficult to get back to "1". Very odd times indeed, yet presented as seemingly straightforward. So clever.

    I could listen to Ben Sheppard all day and night. Oh man here it comes...bridge of Slaves and Bulldozers.....soooo badazz.

    I hunted around for some streams and found track 1 and track 2. I like. Admittedly, have to be in the right headspace, but I can see a place for this in mine. thanks for the heads up!

    Heh. I'm giving this a preview listen through NPR's stream of the album. I wish I hadn't read this post 'cause now I keep looking to hear Paul Simon...and I totally can see what you mean. However, Historical Conquests really grew on me and I think this album will too (when it actually comes out!).


    dang...and I just read the NPR review where it says

High praise, to be sure.

    Speaking of Simon, Ritter recalls the melancholic side of that legendary songwriter in the epic "Another New World," as well as his perky side in "Lark." In the murder ballad "Folk Bloodbath," he imaginatively rewrites Blind Willie McTell's "Delia," while in the anthemic rocker "Lantern," Ritter explores love, risk and emotional safety.

    Some of this:


    Titus Andronicus - The Monitor


    Some of that:


    Adam Arcuragi - I Am Become Joy


    And some of the bizarre:


    The Necks - Music for the Film The Boys

    I've been craving Cee Lo lately.
    I need more of Cee Lo and not Gnarls Barkley.

    Spot on. I borrowed it from the library. The recording quality alone makes it a gem, sounds very immediate in my system.

    As for his style, I can take it or leave it. I do enjoy some older George Benson, and I liken this to that.

    The vibes are so wonderfully recorded, a real testament to studio improvements.

    I also borrowed a DVD of a Sanborn performance at Montreux in '84.

    Perhaps I can return the favour Bobsticks. An amalgamation of rock, blues and jazz...

    Glad you enjoyed it. I also generally prefer the masters but Sanborn's stuff is close enough to that edge that with the sound quality it makes for a decent occasional escape from the norm.

    Love me some Charlie Hunter too, but you had already returned the favor...hadn't pulled out that ragged copy of Badmotorfinger in quite some time. Kim Thayil doesn't get enough credit as having been one of the original purveyors of the drop tunings that are so present in today's schlock/glam cookie monster fodder...

    I know that the LP of their first release is engineering like total sh!t and you really are better off with the mp3s.

    picked up the new (old now I suppose) Sigur Ros on vinyl. It is very nice so far, but it could use some more headroom in recording I think. On the last track on side B the cymbals were really crackling up and sounded really distorted and gated. Don't know it is an effect that is suppose to sound that way, or maybe too much compression in the mix, or something wrong w/ my TT.



    Oh yeah, so far this music is pretty much just what I needed. Something big, sad, and makes me feel a little better about life.
