Random Music Thread CXIII: Cause Diemen said so

I received Chelsea Wolfe's most recent album for XXXmas, and will likely buy a few next week with gift cardz.

I bought myself a massive bottle of rum for Christmas.

I got a new set of the Beethoven symphonies.

I bought myself a tofurkey roast and cooked it and drank a bottle of wine on Christmas Eve and pretty much just fell asleep after that.

I can't drink like I used to, which is how I drank 3 months ago. On the plus side, I managed to lose 46 lbs in 11 months, and I could have done it sooner, but mid year I let my weekend drinking and eating habits get the best of me. September is when I decided to just go all out health wise.

Cool story, bro.

This post was wayyyy darker before the edit, so I'm glad to hear things are working out for at least one David. Keep it up in 2016

 

[david]

2016 will be my year.

Other than discovering The Beatles streaming, the new songs from LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead, my Christmas this year wasn't very musical.

I listened to The White Album yesterday to celebrate the Beatles being on Google Music. I don't know any other double album that flies past like that one. It's now easily my favorite Beatles record.

You hadn't heard it? I love it a huge deal too. Only behind Abbey Road for me.

Sad to hear Stevie Wright, of The Easybeats, passed away today.

They were a super good Aussie band in the 60s of course but this is my favourite thing he did, might not be familiar to non-Aussies...?

I've heard it plenty of times, don't worry.

I'm listening to Elvis Presley's debut album from 1956 right now, which turns 50 years old this coming March. 8 years later a group of mop tops would change rock and roll, again. Crazy to think of how music evolved in such a short time back then and how culture did as well.

My contrarian / Negative Nancy opinion(s) of the day:
The LCD Soundsystem and Radiohead tracks released on Christmas are forgettable throwaways. The Radiohead track in particular does nothing to dissuade me from the sinking suspicion that Radiohead are past their prime.

 

[Danny Boy]

Well happy fucking new year to you, too.

Radiohead are past their prime, but I still expect that new album to be quality. Been a long, long time since they've turned in a bad album.

Agreed. 4 years is a long time.

If only U2 could still write songs as good as Codex and Bloom.

Lemmy from Motörhead is dead?

[LemonMelon]

That shit hurts. I've been a Motorhead fan for quite a while. Big influence on Jack Nicholson Party too.

I had a chance to see them a while ago but Lemmy cancelled due to illness and apparently that was becoming increasingly common. The writing was on the wall I guess.

 

[iron yuppie]

Reading a little about Dinosaur Jr, I came across the band Sebadoh - from the description of their albums it sounds like they could be alternately fantastic or dreadful.

Yes, Lemmy has died at age 70.

 

[prbiker15]

Sad to see that Lemmy died.

 

[david]

RIP Lemmy.

You know I'm born to lose
And gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it babe
I don't want to live forever

Bake sale was a good album.
