Random Music Talk LIX: (but doesn't suck)

[lazarus]

con't.

Too slow, Cobbler.

 

[cobl04]

Fuck's sake, etc

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

seriously, the opportunity was there and everything.

 

[cobl04]

I had nothing good. And Community is on TV.

I remember when JT stole my first thread when I was about three seconds from making it. Dalton had a good laugh.

The Sting Theme (Joplin - The Entertainer) - YouTube

 

[monkeyskin]

Thanks for the ticket offer cobs but I've got a sister in law with nothing else going on that morning.

I just read that Mondo Cane is a Mike Patton from Faith No More side project. Looks cool.

 

[IWasBored]

Italian opera mike Patton, or something that might actually be interesting mike Patton?

 

[monkeyskin]

The first one. It's not Faith No More, but it could be epic.

...I'll let myself out.

 

[IWasBored]

I still can't figure out if I'm curious cos it might be good, or curious cos I want a good laugh. That reminds me, I still never actually bought those tomahawk albums when I went on that faith no more binge a few months back.

Most of Mike Patton is interesting. You might not like the guy, but to call his work uninteresting is simply... wrong, to be as eloquent as possible.

Anyway, as far as 2012 music goes, and as someone who is a fan of Noir Desir and would like to get into more African music, I'm digging this currently:

Amadou & Mariam - Oh Amadou (feat. Bertrand Cantat) - YouTube

I meant more of something I'm interested in than actually interesting. I like Patton. The man is insane.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Cobbler, with regrads to Sigur Ros, I would recomend Takk..., Ágætis byrjun and ( ) in that order.

 

[djerdap]

Speaking of Patton, this beautiful little song is for some reason constantly in my head for the last couple of days:

Retrovertigo--Mr. Bungle - YouTube

 

[u2popmofo]

Things I'd be quoting and responding to if the old thread were still open:

Martha said something about not even liking tiny earthquakes, I was going to make a Tori Amos joke.

LeMeL and JT said something about Fleet Foxes not following a fad or trend, I would have mentioned Trials of Van Occupanther.

Cobbler said he'd never listened to a truck load of awesome artists, I would have said friggin' Cobbler.

 

[LemonMelon]

LeMeL and JT said something about Fleet Foxes not following a fad or trend, I would have mentioned Trials of Van Occupanther.

Thing is, they're a lot more pop on that album than Fleet Foxes ever were (I hear some Fleetwood Mac in their vocals), and that's not a bad thing at all. Great record.

I think maybe Band of Horses, another Phil Ek find, have something in common with the Fleet Foxes sound too.

 

[cobl04]

I think I'll ask him what his favourite episode of Parks & Rec is.

 

[u2popmofo]

Add another good band with a new album coming this year to the list:

I almost made a Tori Amos joke while the thread was still open but then I saw that picture of cobl and the accompanying green meme and giggled myself to sleep.

 

[joyfulgirl]

This mix is amazing. Get it before it disappears.

Cool. I loved Mines, especially Taos. Definitely going on my list.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yeah, Mines had some cool songs. Did you listen to the album before that, Friend and Foe? I think I might have even liked that one more.

 

[Danny Boy]

No, I may have to check it out on Spotify.

 

[u2popmofo]

So apparently Bon Iver's upcoming iTunes session has a cover of Bjork's Who Is It. I like that song quite a bit, may have to check it out.

Speaking of Bjork, in retrospect, I'm extremely disappointed in her last two albums. Neither had any staying power.

 

[corianderstem]

Laz - I like the Saint Etienne album quite a bit! I'm not a huge fan of her voice, but by the end of the record I'd decided I liked the music behind it enough to want to buy it.

Pity it's only available as an import right now.

(No, I will not buy the MP3 version. See last thread.)

 

[bollox]

David Byrne + St Vincent collabo & tour
This could be potentially awesome. Definitely interested in seeing Annie Clark jam out on some Talking Heads ish.

 

[Imperor]

I'm worried about the price being exorbitant for these tickets, but it seems pretty unmissable. On the other hand, I've gotta buy Funfunfunfest VIPs tomorrow, so St. Byrncent probably isn't in the cards.

12 bucks on WOW HD with free shipping. (I swear I don't work for them.)

Words & Music | WOW HD US

I cashed in a bunch of credits on Amazon and got the deluxe MP3 version, though honestly I could have done without all the remixes. I haven't even listened to them.

 

[corianderstem]

OH SNAP.

thanks, DB!

 

[Danny Boy]

RE: Saint Etienne: I really like the opening track where she talks about growing up listening to music.

 

[u2popmofo]

Ima start calling you WOW DB.
