Jim in Anchorage Posted July 5, 2010 Posted July 5, 2010 Not one mention of the Allman brothers? Disappointing.

Astrojanitor Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Hopefully they come with free download codes so you can put them on that World's Crappiest ipod. turns out 3 of them did. So now my crappy ipod can have the new Jacuzzi Boys, Male Bonding, and Ariel Pink albums. In my next life I'm going to be far less into music. Seriously, who the !@#$ are those bands?

Are they really good, or are you just checking them out?
The Senator Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 1 - Glenn Gould, Goldberg Variations (J.S. Bach), 1980 Version 2 - Glenn Gould, Partitas (J.S. Bach) 3 - Rolling Stones, Some Girls 4 - Rolling Stones, Exile on Main Street 5 - Duke Ellington, Live at Newport
Astrojanitor Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 More importantly, how did you find out about them? Are they really good, or are you just checking them out? Jacuzzi Boys are on the turntable right now--pretty great record. It;s like a 1960s style sloppy garage rock. Saw them play with Marah last month. Hadn't heard of them before and they were kind of blown off the stage by Marah. Also sort of douchey as people. Record's good though. The Male Bonding record is awesome. Frantic buzzsaw guitar rock. Remind me a bit of Husker Du actually. Ariel Pink is a real noisy lo-fi pop. It's an odd record, but I like it a lot. It's like listening to an AM pop station in 1974...but with terrible reception. So I read a couple music blogs every day (stereogum and pitchfork, mostly). I also look through the record lists for various distros (current favorites: Florida's Dying, Midheaven, Armageddon Shop, Dusty Groove) and labels (current favorites: In The Red, Not Not Fun, Drag City, Siltbreeze) and just buy whatever sounds interesting. Nothing's better than getting some weird record nobody's ever heard of and have it blow your hair back. Of course yesterday I had -$37 in checking....someday my free time and obsessiveness will be used for something productive.
DrDawkinstein Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 just stopping back in to add: "If I had the world's crappiest iPod.... I'd have a Zune" hey-ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
WotAGuy Posted July 6, 2010 Author Posted July 6, 2010 just stopping back in to add: "If I had the world's crappiest iPod.... I'd have a Zune" hey-ooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh LOL! Actually, once you loaded it with the 5 albums, it wouldn't be so crappy anymore!

The Dean Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 4. Jean Luc Ponty - Mystical Adventures Nice to see Ponty getting some love. Not the album I would pick, but great stuff, nonetheless.
Cugalabanza Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 My list for today, for the end of a weird crappy day... Skip Spence - Oar ZZ Top - Tres Hombres Flaming Lips - Zaireeka Roland Kirk - The Inflated Tear Lou Reed - Legendary Hearts

The Senator Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Did you miss my post? I solved those two (and more) with one selection. Yeah, I saw that - very clever - but I don't know that I want all that Berg, Webern, and Schoenberg crap, and Gould's renditions of the Mozart and Beethoven are 'unconventional', to put it kindly. Still, your solution saves me one more place - I can throw some Oscar Petersen or Sinatra in that spot, so I guess I can put up with the Gould moaning and Schoenberg atonality.
Cugalabanza Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Ok, I'm not ready for this thread to fade away yet. Special [bUMP] edition: David Bowie - Station to Station The Cure - Disintegration Beck - One Foot in the Grave Pink Floyd - Relics Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West (poor Cowboy Dan just can't get that egg to turn over. No, no, not even if sober!)
Cugalabanza Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowded West (poor Cowboy Dan just can't get that egg to turn over. No, no, not even if sober!) Hmmm... I just looked up the lyrics to "Cowboy Dan" and it turns out it's his engine he can't get to turn over. I think I prefer to picture him trying to fry an egg over a campfire, so I'm gonna pretend that's the lyric.
