Random Music Talk CV: The Human Fund - Money for Leo

[liamcool]

A few days ago, I was wandering through Fingerprints and they were playing this album I really liked, called The Best Day, by some guy named Thurston Moore. Never heard of him, but I liked the music quite a bit, so I bought the album. I listened to it today as I drove around and really, really liked most of it.

Just now I looked him up on the 'fork. Huh. Didn't know all that.

Lee Ranaldo's "Between The Times And The Tides" is also a pretty good alt-rock album! It's obviously not noise rock, just good, solid alternative rock stuff.

 

[liamcool]

it is but I'll likely have to miss the latter two for Jon Hopkins and Flying Lotus

Mate just stop having eclectic music tastes okay

Thanks. I wrote this down on a post-it just now. I'll check it out later.

Axver had a post-rock album in top 15 that I need to write down as well.

Heard this on the radio on the way into work tonight, not bad.

Girls is a band I really miss. I just kind of shrugged it off when they broke up, but their last album has really grown on me and Christopher Owens' solo albums haven't been any consolation. I hope they make another album at some point.

I never looked into them because everyone overrated Hellhole Ratrace.

 

[LemonMelon]

I agree that Hellhole Ratrace is vastly overrated. Trust me though, Father Son Holy Ghost is a great album; terrific variety and three of 2011's best songs in Alex, Vomit (sounds like a lost Pink Floyd song) and Forgiveness.

Broken Dreams Club EP is really good too. I feel like Carolina was on a DI list at some point.

If you like The Best Day, which is a solid enough album from a guy who has been around in music for 35 years, you should check out Murray Street by Sonic Youth. It's a little masterpiece of a record and sonically similar to The Best Day, with better songwriting and fantastic chemistry between band members.

 

[martha]

I'll write that one down too. Thanks.

Not in one DI list, but in two or three DI lists last time around. Fantastic song.

I love their debut as well.

Bjork tryna steal Sleater-Kinney's thunder today.

Not cool.

 

[corianderstem]

Patti Smith was pretty fucking badass. I was not expecting to enjoy the show so much.

And I had no idea Lenny Kaye still played with her. Nice.

 

[last unicorn]

Björk

 

[Lancemc]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah

 

[Danny Boy]

Bjork tryna steal Sleater-Kinney's thunder today.

Not cool.

What a Bjerk.

I just bought Sleater-Kinney in 24/96 FLAC from HDtracks.

Spoiler

Now I'm going to check out the Björk.

 

[Danny Boy]

Looks like the Björk album leaked so she decided to put it up for sale on iTunes? Not clear on what happened there.

 

[PhilsFan]

Yes. She apparently posted on her message board saying she was honored that people were willing to wait for the official release and wanted to reward them.

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, it leaked insanely early. Only a handful of options at that point, and usually this is probably the best outcome you can hope for as an artist. I hate when that happens .

 

[Danny Boy]

Well, I don't intend to buy the album twice, so hopefully there will be a lossless download option somewhere soon.

 

[PhilsFan]

The National and Haim both said on social media today that they are back in the studio recording new albums.

 

[iron yuppie]

That's a hell of a nice surprise to have a Bjork album today.

 

[bono_212]

 

[iron yuppie]

Can anyone find the Bjork album on US iTunes?

 

[Danny Boy]

Here's a link, but it's only in the UK store so far it seems.

Listening to The Woods for, I believe, the first time. At first I was taken aback by how abrasive it was, but now that I realize what kind of music it is I'm really enjoying it a ton. I think I was mixing them up with that one dance band from the mid 90s...can't think of their name suddenly, but I know they just recently put out another album and Cori? was all excited about it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Saint Etienne?

 

[bono_212]

That's the one.
