Random Music Talk XCVI - Counting Down Cobbler's Return to America

[IWasBored]

Not really. Two great bands.

Not sure how they could get mixed up though. It's pretty difficult to miss when David Byrne is singing.

I was thrown off by the fact that it has a poppy chorus. Don't know of any other talking heads songs that do.

Well played.

So NYC... looking at staying at 891 Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan for two nights 341 Broadway Avenue in Brooklyn for two nights. Solid locations?

I am sure it has been said before, but the last 3 Talk Talk albums are the greatest albums ever recorded.

Preach.

But don't forget Mark Hollis' sublime solo album.

 

[cobl04]

Yeah, I'm seeing peef every time you post.

Lousy expansion teams and their uncreative colors.

 

[BoMac]

They are not an expansion team!

 

[powerhour24]

So, Emmylou Harris & Danny Lanois last night. I think I should just stop going to concerts now, no one is going to top that.

 

[LemonMelon]

I don't acknowledge our Canadian heritage.

 

[BoMac]

Whatever.

[cobl04]

See y'all soon.

 

[BoMac]

Safe travels, Cobbler.

Hope you're not flying with U.S. Airways, or you'd be flying straight into a vagina, a.k.a. Down Under.

So I pre-ordered a Pono. I got the limited edition Arcade Fire signature one.

Kind of odd to pay $400 for something that won't ship for six months, but maybe it will at least have some collectible value.

Less than 24-hours left on the Kickstarter campaign if there are any other suckers interested parties out there.

 

[BoMac]

Hmmm, I may have to get this now.

 

[Hewson]

Thought about the Pearl Jam Pono, fortuunately hemmed and hawed long enough they sold out making the decision easy.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, I may have gone Pearl Jam if they weren't sold out.

I've got my fingers crossed this comes with a high-res version of Funeral, though.

2014's DVDA!

 

[cobl04]

Redfoo is on my flight.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

What would happen if you went up and started yelling one of his songs at him.

 

[Danny Boy]

2014's dvda!

YESSIR!

In fact I'm ripping my DVD-A of Document right now. Have to get my musics ready for the precious.

 

[LemonMelon]

Probably the same reaction we usually have to Cobbler.

In Manhattan, you're next to Columbia University, so there'll be at least a few places to grab some food. Not much else to do around there, you'll want to take the subway downtown (spend some time in East Village - get the Cereal Milk Ice Cream at Momofuku Milk Bar on 13th between Second and Third - and the Lower East Side). Make sure to explore Harlem a bit. Also, grab a poppy seed roll at the Hungarian Pastry Shop on Amsterdam bt 110th and 111th. If you're into museums, the Lost Kingdoms exhibit at the Met is supposed to be amazing (I haven't been yet, so can't say for sure).

In Brooklyn, southern Williamsburg, where you will be staying, is nice. The neighborhood is overpriced now and somewhat of a yuppie-land, but you're close enough to other areas. Go north to Greenpoint or east to Bushwick. Try to get some beer at the Brooklyn Brewery. I like the Brooklyn Bowl for concerts (or after parties), so check if there's someone you'd like to see. Pizza at Roberta's in Bushwick is great, but it's become an uber-popular destination so expect long lines. If you're there on a weekend, go to the food market at East River State Park on Saturdays - it's wonderful.

Good record stores: Academy Records in Brooklyn and Other Music in Mahattan (East Village).

Let me know if you want more tips. When are you around?

That's good New York knowledge being dropped in here.
