Random Music Talk XCVIII: When the Music's Over...

[Hewson]

I--uh---I'm trying to think of an excuse.

I guess it was some kind of tribute to their roots together at Temple, but frankly he looked like an ass on stage with Katz' family and Bill Clinton in suits. Saw clips of it on the news here (was big news locally cause the plane crashed here) and couldn't believe what he was wearing.

Interpol has announced a new album coming out in September for whoever is interested.

Nice. Not sure how they'll fare without Carlos D though... their bass was a really distinctive part of their sound.

I remember listening to Untitled in the CD section of a bookstore - you know, where they'd have CDs on display you could listen to? I was in 7th grade and the moment the bass kicked in my mind was blown and I immediately bought the album. Still one of my favourite albums to this day.

I would pay to hear Interpol's singer to say icebox a couple times. Maybe twice.

How about The Coz' outfit for Lewis Katz' memorial service...

I saw an interview with this guy a few months back, on The Daily Show, I think. I have a hard time believing he is in his right mind. He spent the whole segment telling a rambling story about John Stewart swearing at a fundraiser, almost Grandpa Simpson style.

That's kinda eerie, if you're aware of this:

Does it mean that years and years from now John Stewart will give a rambling incoherent interview to another comedian? Stay tuned!

I bought Led Zeppelin I from livedownloads.com; 24/96 FLAC. If it's appreciably better than the 90's CDs I'll consider getting the other two.

I'm very much looking forward to the new Interpol album. They're one of my favorite bands going. And I also liked the self-titled a great deal.

I've listened to Turn On the Bright Lights again. The first half is some of the best music of the 00s. The second half, apart from the wonderful closer, drags a bit. I prefer Specialist (which is one of their best), to the two 6+ minute tracks on TOTBL.

In any case, it's somewhat bittersweet to see that they've peaked so early. Literally. I still feel Untitled is by far and away their greatest song.

hello motherfuckers.

I agree with everything in this post, but I want to make sure that you're including Hands Away as one of the great tracks. Because it absolutely is one of those.

I am. I don't particularly care for the Obstacle 2-The New section, although The New has some great moments, particularly in the first half.

Specialist should have been on that record.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

NYC from that album. Always my favorite. Always.

 

[u2popmofo]

Carlos D hasn't done much on the last couple albums any way. Too bad Pajo didn't stick with them, I would have loved to have heard an album with him playing bass.

 

[cobl04]

He's fucking dead.

 

[U2inUtah]

Welcome back cobbler. How was the rally?

Did you shit in any boxes, Cobbz?

This is pretty neat-o

The next edition in our picture disc series has arrived just in time for summer!

Places Like This, the Polyvinyl debut from Australia's Architecture in Helsinki, is filled to the brim with infectious pop rhythms and more than enough dance floor anthems to keep the party going until late in the night.

The album's acclaimed artwork -- by UK illustrator Will Sweeney -- is put on full display here, providing a glimpse into the intricacies and mayhem of the music within the grooves.

This one-time pressing is limited to 300 numbered copies.

Their last enjoyable album.

 

[Danny Boy]

James appears to have joined Manic Street Preachers as a relatively well-known UK band who doesn't feel releasing their albums in the US is worth the effort anymore.

I'm just about to give their new album a listen.

I'm just about to give their new album a listen.

I'm listening to 2 an album by a band called Led Zeppelin. Have you heard of them?!

 

[Danny Boy]

I used to be into them, but they totally sold out after their first album.

 

[bono_212]

I definitely Cobbler'd it with them and heard their 4th album first

 

[lazarus]

Cobblering it would be hearing In Through The Out Door first.

My iPod Classic died two days ago. I was tempted to replace it with something else, but the Apple Store Genius Bar replaced it for $129. Hard to beat that deal. Plus, my car stereo has the old dock connector that nothing else would work with.

 

[corianderstem]

I was about to shell out for a new Classic, but a friend back in Wisconsin posted on Facebook that she was looking for a buyer for hers. Barely used, even bigger GB than the one I had. $125. BOOM.

 

[mikal]

Just buy an HTC one and a 128Gb sdcard. Best music player I've ever had

If I were to buy anything other than an iPod, it would have to support hi-res. I was thinking about a Fiio X5, but hard to beat the deal they gave me on a replacement iPod. The fact that my car has iPod integration is also a big factor.

I have a Pono coming in October, assuming they actually make their shipment date.

Sounds like a pretty logical place to start, assuming you are talking about Zeppelin.
