Interference Random Music Talk

Not on morphine, if that's what you were wondering!

I was on vacation. Vegas and the Grand Canyon, only some of the time spent wanting to strangle my dad.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

I'm addicted to buying CDs and it always feels good when I buy one. Though there's also often that nagging feeling that I already have enough CDs.

I have the same exact thoughts!

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

Everytime I hear "No Cars Go" by Arcade Fire, I get chills, esp. around the part: "Children, let's go!"

Even if you HAD strangled your dad, you still would have been topped in the Weird Family Stories category this week by Muldfield's admission of enjoying watching dirty movies with his brother.

I feel you. That's one of the absolute peaks of that album.

Ain't too bad live, either.

Ha ha haaaaaaa

In other, musical randomness news, I think I could sing the entirety of Jesus Christ Superstar from memory.

Make of that what you will.

Yep. Moi aussi. Loved it since high school.

 

[corianderstem]

Maybe it's because I grew up listening to the original cast album, but I could never get into the dude who played Judas in the movie. I prefer Murray Head.

I so dig Heaven On Their Minds.

"JEESUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!"

 

[Diemen]

Heh. I have a Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber cd.






That I occasionally listen to.
















and know the words to nearly all of the songs

 

[corianderstem]

Admit it: you love to sing all the diva songs, don't you?

I prefer the Madonna version of Evita to the Patti LuPone version, because Madonna did everything in a lower key and therefore I can sing along to it.

 

[Diemen]

heh. I'm partial to Phantom (saw it in jr. high with my first major crush...ah, good times...).

 

[phillyfan26]

In the last two months, I've been initiated and run through the catalogs of David Bowie and Pink Floyd. It's like constant victory in a drug, guys.

I love Carl Anderson.

"You really do believe this talk of God is truuu-ewww."

:bwoaw: :bwoaw: :bwoaw: :bwoaw: (That was the guitar part.)

 

[corianderstem]

I can sound out a mean version of the guitar riff at the beginning, but I haven't got the slightest idea of how to replicate it with typing ... without it looking like I'm trying to sound out 70s porno music.

bowm bowmga BOWM ba-BOWM ba-GOWM ba-GOWM!

Returning to pre-Broadway discussions.....

You can legally stream the entire new Portishead album on Last FM. I definitely need to listen to this sucker this week.

I haven't listened to any Morphine in quite a while. I only have the best of. Though they're really not similar at all, for some reason I always think of Galaxie 500 when I think of Morphine. Maybe it's because I bought both of their best of's around the same time?

Ahhhh I remember the first time I ran through Pink Floyd's catalogue. Memories.

Listening to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time was a revelation....I thought I had just been let in on the big secret of the universe.

Now I think it's just a pretty good album.

What did you think of Dark Side on the first listen or have you even gotten to it yet?

 

[Saracene]

I was fine with movie Judas, it's Jesus that I had a problem with. No screen presence whatsoever and vocally so much weaker than Ian Gillan.

BUT YOU HAVE MADE IIIEEEEEEEAAAAT
THE DEN OF THEEEEE-EEEE-EEEVES!

I need to look up more Morphine albums next time I'm at JB Hi-Fi.

For some reason, I could never really get into Dark Side of the Moon as a whole album though I love the individual songs.

 

[martha]

I liked Ted Neely too.

Mebbe I should check out the cast recording.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

the only issue with touchtune jukeboxes is that bars can't add their own music to them... thus springsteen and the beatles, who apparently don't have contracts with the people who put out the jukeboxes, are never available to play in bars anymore.

i miss my 3am badlands fix.

That's just not right.

I hate those things, too. And yes, I get a little sad when I can't get some Bruce at the bar when all the idiots want to keep playing Three Days Grace and Creed.

I didn't suggest a Random Music Talk thread so it could slip to the bottom of page 2! No sir!

How about this: Eric Avery plays with the other original members of Jane's Addiction for the first time since '91?? When they played stark naked in Hawaii? HOLYFUCKINGSHIT!!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080424/music_nm/nme_dc


While I always felt Eric A was the least integral part of the band (and was ably replaced by Flea on the reunion tours), the Strays album was uneventful and maybe we can partially blame that on his absence.

Doesn't look like this is going to be a permanent reunion, oh well.

Rolling Stone -- Best of Rock 2008
main page:
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/20200609

page 30:
http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/20200609/page/30

On this RollingStone list at #30 out of 45 pages, they have an awesome HALF-HOUR "sample" of Flosstradamus.

It's about 1/3 of the way down the page where it says "Play This". I thought it was just going to be a minute or so, but it's at 19 minutes and only 1/2 way through.

Best Rock Clubs:

Stubb's Bar-B-Q
Austin
Capacity: 2,200
Adventurous booking (Willie Nelson, Snoop Dogg, Wilco and Arcade Fire have hit the stage), killer barbecue and a massive PA all contribute to the party vibe that makes Stubb's the coolest outdoor club in America.

That's pretty cool, but I think they're severely overrating it.

 

[lazarus]

didn't malkmus and cat power just play there?

 

[impy13]

Malkmus played La Zona Rosa and Cat Power was scheduled to play Stubb's that same night (last Sunday). I had tickets for Cat Power and now it has been bumped back to October 11.

Fuck.

 

[lazarus]

Well, obviously you should have got tickets to SM instead. That band is so amazing now with Janet Weiss in the mix.

Absolutely love it. My favorite of the five or six I've listened to already.

Pink Floyd is good at what they do ... however, I'll always prefer artists like U2, Springsteen, and Bowie, who let emotion take them somewhere I've yet to hear Pink Floyd go. That's the one thing that lacks in Pink Floyd's work, to me: a passion that takes the songs to climaxes and powerful endings.

 

[LemonMelon]

I listened to PF's Animals today. I forgot how awesome Sheep is, but I may be burned out on Dogs.

Sheep's my favorite Floyd song evar. It rarely gets enough credit against the rest of the catalogue though.

 

[Salome]

R.E.M.'s Accelerate is the only album I bought this year
I also haven't really downloaded anything
except for Joe Jackson's Rain which I will buy some day

still don't feel like I'm missing out on anything though
