Interference Random Music Talk

[martha]

I think I like the new Black Keys album.

I really like this one. Do I want any of the other ones?

 

[lazarus]

Oh, and I think I definitely don't care for the new My Morning Jacket.

Gimme an F !!
Gimme an A !!
Gimme an I !!
Gimme an L !!

What does that spell?

 

[corianderstem]

I'm pretty sure it spells LAZARUS!

Martha - this is the first album I've heard of theirs, so I couldn't say.

 

[u2popmofo]

There are way too many "Black" bands.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Black Lips
Black Keys
Black Kids
Black Sabbath
Black Star
Blaqk Audio
etc


I get Black Lips, Black Keys, and Black Kids mixed up all the time, and I LOVE Black Lips.

 

[LemonMelon]

There are way too many "Black" bands.

This is hilarious out of context.

 

[martha]

I LOVE Black Lips.

My friend's been rambling about the Black Lips for a few days now.

My friend's been rambling about the Black Lips for a few days now.

I like your friend. I'm going to do something lame, and quote myself from the year end list write up:

Black Lips ? ?Good Bad Not Evil?
This is like the "summer blockbuster" of my list, in that it is big dumb fun (and it is definitely all 3 of those things). This album has hints of punk, garage rock, country, and '60's pop-rock. If you want a fun rocking album (who would have thought a song about Hurricane Katrina could be so entertaining?), look no further.
-Cold Hands
-Bad Kids
-Navajo
-O Katrina!

The 'Let It Be' album also has some great tracks. Here are some videos of the songs I mentioned before:

Cold Hands (the song that got me into them)
O Katrina! (one of my favorite music videos from last year)
Bad Kids (video of a radio performance in Israel)

Anyone seen the official video for Weezer's "Pork And Beans"?

YouTube - Pork and Beans

One of the best music videos I've seen in ages. Still don't care much for the song though.

 

[maro_chik]

I'm definitely digging the Weezer song & video.

(I just had some Mentos & Coke fun on the weekend )

That was great. It makes the song even more hilarious.

 

[LemonMelon]

Rivers dressed up as a professor while playing an SG is almost avatar worthy. That should have been the album cover.

 

[Saracene]

Very entertaining video indeed. The song however is the same old generic Weezer.

 

[martha]

Black Lips – ‘Good Bad Not Evil’

This is the album he loaned me. He probly won't ask for it back for awhile. His beloved is in labor as we speak.

So I may give the record a spin this looooong weekend.

Wow. U2popmofo, I just watched those three videos you posted (love that they are all under 3 minutes) and I think I have a new band to look out for.

I really enjoyed all three of the songs, especially Cold Hands.

I do think that Black Lips is a fucking brutally awful name for a band. Anyway, that doesn't matter. I'm going to give these guys some more listens, thanks.

Anyone else going to a Tom Waits tour this summr?
It will be my first concert of his and I couldn't be more excited
but I figured if I made a thread it would sink back into oblivion fairly quickly.

 

[martha]

Not a fan of Tom Waits.

 

[elevation2u]

grrrrrrr

 

[martha]

Everybody's got one flaw. That's mine.

 

[lazarus]

Anyone a fan of Islands? I saw them the other night, very good show. I'm in the process of "getting" their two albums.

 

[Salome]

that Cold Hands sounds like something from "Do the pop" which is like a greatest hits of the Australian punk scene

O Katrina reminded me of the Oblivians
though the Oblivians were better singers

good stuff though

Anyone else enjoying the new Sparks album?

I genuinely enjoy most of what the Mael brothers put out.

I've only got Indiscreet and Kimono My House. I like that sound, so that last Sparks record I bought was Propaganda.

What's up with the new one?

 

[LJT]

It's much as they have ever done, inventive fun pop, a bit more condensed than the last few albums, like they have reigned in some of the times when they would have went on a bit too long with songs.
YouTube - Sparks - Good Morning (New Single 2008)

and possibly the most enjoyable so far...
YouTube - SPARKS - Lighten Up, Morrissey NEW SONG

We Are Scientists

Anyone heard of them? I like the bits I've heard so far off their new album "Brain Thrust Mastery"

They're playing near me beginning of July and I was wondering if anyone knew of them or had any recommendations whether to check them out or not.

 

[LJT]

They had a few good indie disco songs on their first album ie. Nobody Move, Nobody Gets Hurt, This Scene is Dead...but they have never really overly appealed to me, a lot of the first album was a bit bland and I haven't heard great things about the second.

 

[martha]

I'm really digging Nouns by No Age.

The new Aimee Mann album "@#%&*! Smilers" has leaked...

Not bad so far

Here is a video for her first single 31 Today:

YouTube - "31 Today"

 

[u2popmofo]

This is a great album:

but I figured if I made a thread it would sink back into oblivion fairly quickly.

I've seen him a few times, most notably during his week-long stint on Broadway (not as in a Broadway show but using a Broadway theatre) years ago and he was so wonderful I have no words to describe it.

I just overheard someone talking in Starbucks about driving down to El Paso to see him so I immediately got online to find out when it was since my travels for work often take me through El Paso. I am considering organizing a trip to coincide with his show there. The tickets are $80 which gave me pause, but it's also a small theatre and I know it would be worth it.

But the real question is: why is Tom Waits playing El Paso?
