Random Music Talk LXXVIII: Crashing Miley's Toluca Lake Pad

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, I've never once questioned Taxman's lyrics. That's interesting. I've always thought they fit pretty damn well in the song. And it's a fucking awesome song.

I agree.

There have been several albums in the indie world over the last few years that have been touted as jazz-influenced, but Rhye's Woman is the only one where I have really heard and felt that influence. Very impressed upon first listen.

I might start a thread for them; there seems to be sufficient interest.

Second magical music moment in Boston since I arrived: flung the door open, stepped inside the mall (shortcut to the convention center), and the opening guitar notes of No Line on the Horizon blasted right on cue. Nice way to start the long day. And then I saw one of my favorite writers read, George Saunders. I'm still laughing.

Also

12,000 writers and booksellers under one roof.

Have you been to Mike's bakery yet, Joyful?

 

[joyfulgirl]

Have you been to Mike's bakery yet, Joyful?

No. I've done nothing but work. Work=taking people out to dinner, schmoozing with writers and book people, buying books, attending readings, and watching movies in my room until I fall asleep.

Tomorrow's my only free day. Tell me about Mike's.

I did have some $32 lobster Mac & Cheese, though.

And apparently I missed Animal Collective up the street due to all this "work."

It's a pastries only bakery, from what I remember. A number of people recommended it to my friends and I when we went. I think we liked it so much we went back a second time. Their cannoli was fantastic.

Welcome To Mike's Pastry! (index.html)

Yeah, it's a super healthy place.

 

[iron yuppie]

Can you name me another song written from the taxman's perspective?

Spoiler

That last bit was meant to be a little bit tongue in cheek

I imagine there's a few floating around Fox News somewhere.

Oh shit. I haven't seen a vegetable since Tuesday so wtf, I may as well go for it.

That sounds like an awesome job.

She's aging well.

You know, people are always giving good old Cobbler a hard time about listening order, but there's something a bit counter-intuitive about saying "hey, this band is really awesome, but only if you listen to them in this order!"

I'm more bothered by the fact that I'm not going to get to see them at all, it looks like, and he's seeing them without even hearing an album.

It is, though it's not always like this, of course. Kind of stressful for someone like me who isn't exactly extroverted. Can't complain about the perks, though.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm hungry for the new GAGA album, but apparently she's still in a wheelchair. Doubt that it will be released while she still can't walk right. Girl needs to be out and about promoting it in some crazy costumes and shoes and shit.

Hello from a highway in Atlanta. I hate traveling.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Hello from a hotel in Boston. I love eating on the boss' dime.

 

[cobl04]

I'm extremely jealous.

You

bastard

I listened to it. It's very good. Can see why it became a favourite among googs users.

 

[lazarus]

Hello from Marina del Rey, where I've been working on a sailboat all day. Captain Toobing is an official deckhand for the next month or so.

 

[IWasBored]

That sounds like an awesome job.

i dont know about the schmoozing, but everything else sounds awesome.

 

[Danny Boy]

I sampled it on Amazon. It sounded somewhat like Animal Collective to me. That's not a bad thing, right?

"Attic Doctor" sounds like Animal Collective fo' shnizzle.

Cobbler, I picked up a used copy of Aquemini today. I've never heard it but you pimp it so much I couldn't pass it up. It has a few scratches, but I expect it will rip just fine which is all I really care about.

 

[cobl04]

let me know your thoughts. A few others here love it as much as I do but are better at restraining themselves.

 

[PhilsFan]

Dane Cook. Two hours. Make it stop.

Definitely get a cannoli there if you can. Mike recently passed away.

I love it. Not as much as you do, though.



If I'm going to see The Men tonight, I need to get up and put my pants on.

 

[martha]

I listened to a Youth Lagoon song just now. (Dropla) I liked it. The big question is, would it end up annoying the shit out of me on repeated listens?

 

[PhilsFan]

Listening to London Calling on a road trip is not the worst thing.

 

[martha]

Soundhound tells me the music playing before the first band comes on is by Don Caballero. I like it. I've never heard it before. I guess the album is called American Don.

What do you folks know about this?

 

[IWasBored]

Listening to London Calling never is the worst thing. At times, I've found it borders on being the best thing.
