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

[u2popmofo]

I know I'm slipping when I find out one of my favorite bands released a new album 2 days after it came out.

Real (unfortunate) customer data used in creating a test file for a new courier today..... Family name: "Sithole", Street name: "Gaylard Road"

 

[PhilsFan]

Headed to the Boardwalk Empire for the weekend after a delay of several weeks.

Tell Nucky that I'm not happy about what he did to Jimmy.

 

[lazarus]

Hoping to see them in Martha this summer.

That is some dirty projecting indeed.

The percussion reminds me of Radiohead, and that's a good thing.

Everything about it reminds me of Radiohead

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that music taste in EYKIW can be broken down as follows:

U2 doing exactly what I personally want them to do = good music
U2 doing anything but exactly what I want them to do = bad music

Does that sound right?

 

[LemonMelon]

When your knowledge of music only extends as far as U2, bands that have opened for U2, and U2 soundalikes, you aren't going to know how to react if they step outside of the box.

Good Lord, I handed in essays in college shorter than some of those posts in the Boner Apologetics thread.

I believe it was iYup who previously said that when posters start claiming to have some special insight about the band members motivations, the discussion has gone off the rails. Amen.

I'm finding it's not even that nuanced. It's more like:

The songs I like are correct.
The songs you like are wrong.

To be fair, this is exactly some of us in here post too...

I just realized how I opened and closed that post. I guess you could say I turned my post into a prayer. Next thing you know I'll be dreaming out loud.

In case any of you are unfamiliar with the trumpet player who guest stars on I Still Haven't Found Cock I'm Looking for on SC22, it's Hugh Masekela, a South African musician who's best known for this classic track:

Grazing in the Grass - Hugh Masekela - YouTube


So good. Really cool that Shuttlecock had him appear; quite a change from the usual guest appearance.

 

[lazarus]

Here's a little promo clip where you can see the guy backstage:

Someone needs to send me this jive.

Pretty much.

They (and any other artist, for that matter) can do whatever the hell they want to musically, I say. If I like it, great, if I don't, well, that happens sometimes. Not the end of the world.

I'm going to need to go back through this thread and give some of these songs a listen here.

 

[martha]

Hugh Masekela had a minor hit in the 80s with this song. I bought the 45 of it.


HUGH MASEKELA - Don't Go Lose It Baby - YouTube

 

[joyfulgirl]

I can dig it.

 

[Reggo]

WOW DB, I have sigquoted you. That post was amazing.

 

[IWasBored]

To be fair, this is exactly some of us in here post too...

The ones Christgau likes are right.
The ones Christgau dislikes are wrong.

 

[IWasBored]

I want to hear this u222222 thing. I think.

I've never heard this at all, or heard of it.

Hmm.

 

[Popmartijn]

The onlu Hugh Masekela I have at the moment are the singles he did on Motown (or rather, one of its sublabels) in the early Seventies. Nice stuff, but I might need to check out some more.

 

[Danny Boy]

WOW DB, I have sigquoted you.

I'm honored. I think that's a first.

If any of you find out what planet redhill is living on, please let me know.

Also I just found out that donuts are deep fried. This information has changed my entire life.

OK, I have to ask. How did you previously think donuts were cooked?

Next time you're in the states, you need to visit a Krispy Kreme so you can watch the donuts float by in the giant vat of oil.
