Random Music Talk CXVI: The world doesn't actually revolve around Mack

[lazarus]

There doesn't seem to be a Random Movie Talk thread? I found this the other day, it's really, really cool Haunting Long-Exposure Photos of Your Favorite Movies | WIRED

The last one reached the max post count and was locked, and no one seems to have noticed. It IS on the first page of Zoo Station, though.

Friggin' Cobbler.

True Faith is one of my favorite songs ever, dear. God.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

If you're talking about the New Order song, yes.

 

[PhilsFan]

Watching Talking Heads "Stop Making Sense" film and I see some bits that influenced Phil Joanou's approach to filming Rattle and Hum. Stop Making Sense still holds up all these years later.

The performances of Burning Down the House and Life During Wartime on that are two of the best I've seen on a concert film.

A couple 2016 albums flying under the radar that people really should make an effort to hear:

Kevin Morby: Singing Saw
Operators: Blue Wave
Deakin: Sleep Cycle

I really like the Morby album.
Been a really, really, really strong year so far.
From the ones that I don't think that have been talked about much:
Kacy & Clayton is great, I love the Nicholas Godin (half of Air) album, Bullion's Loop the Loop I still go back to, the new Freakwater albums a great surprise and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy is owning the year with 2 albums (1 with bbc sessions and 1 with Bitchin Bajas).
Of course Lucinda Williams' album was never going to be anything but great. Same goes for Ray Lamontagne.
And I love the Colin Stetson Reimagining Gorecki album.
And the Robert Pollard solo album is one of the best things he's done in quite a while.

Of course Lucinda Williams' album was never going to be anything but great.

The guitar work on this album, particularly on the opener, is fucking stunning.

I love the performance of "Take Me to the River". I so wish I could've been at that concert, everyone looks like they were having a total blast during it.

Deakin: Sleep Cycle

I knew nothing about Animal Collective but I thought that album was pretty great.

 

[david]

And the Robert Pollard solo album is one of the best things he's done in quite a while.

Definitely. I like it more than the new Guided By Voices album.

I'm so behind with GBV/Pollard.

Looks like Mack is back...again, and making up for lost time.

I'll believe it when I see it, but... https://youtu.be/NAMPOAfdH8U

I doubt anybody would be too familiar with them these days, but the new Kent album is very good and I recommend it to anyone who doesn't have too much of an aversion to non-English language music.

There are a couple of Canadians in this thread, so I'll post this here:

Sad news this morning as The Tragically Hip announced lead singer Gord Downie has terminal brain cancer. The band will go on tour one last time this summer. I'm not the biggest fan of the band, but I'll definitely try to make it to a show.

 

[IWasBored]

That's pretty shitty. 2016 is still going hard on trying to eliminate all the world's music. I did not know they were still around, I think they only had maybe 1 or 2 songs that were remotely popular outside of Canada and that was ages ago, I can't even remember what they were.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Killer gettin it on electric guitar, guys. You're welcome.

Bob Dylan turned 75 today. And last week was the 50th anniversary of Blonde on Blonde's release.

Glad he's will with us.

That's horrible news.

I saw a good tweet yesterday, that was along the lines of:

ALERT. Bob Dylan's birthday is tomorrow, he will be trending because of that. Not because he's dead.

LOL. Yeah I totally would have assumed it was cos he was dead.

 

[Hewson]

We'll find out some day that he died in that motorcycle crash and they've been propping him up on stage Weekend at Bernie's style ever since.

Paul is dead. Tupac and Biggie are alive. Everything you know is wrong.

First time I've ever agreed with that idiot.

 

[cobl04]

Holy fuck, I'm going to listen to this Car Seat Headrest dude simply because of the fucking covers he's been doing. In the past week he's covered I Can't Give Everything Away, Impossible Soul and Paranoid Android.

 

[u2popmofo]

I like their new album quite a bit, need to listen to it more.

 

[iron yuppie]

It's going to take me forever to get through this entire Day of the Dead compilation, but I'm liking what I'm hearing so far.

 

[Axver]

This combined with his shitty name is a persuasive case for me to not bother.

this news has me wayyyy more upset than bowie or prince. fuck
