Random Music Talk LXXVI: No officer, it's not the ice, I ALWAYS dress like a donkey

Is Chris Carraba human,
Or is his hair everywhere, screaming infidelities?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

The fuck is "deer antler spray"?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Not sure exactly, but I know it has this in it, and this was the thing that was on the banned substances list.

I haven't been able to be on here as much lately thanks to my work blocking interference (despite having some of the best production numbers on my team), but man the new Toro Y Moi is everything Channel Orange wished it could be. That is all.

This has very little to do with anything, but the cover of the last Toro Y Moi record creeped me the fuck out. Wasn't it the one with some crawly thing coming out of the guy's mouth?

Somehow, despite being shorter than Channel Orange, I couldn't stop checking the time during that Toro y Moi album. Every song sounds like funk muzak.

New Miles bootleg collection gets a 9.0 and best new reissue from the FORK.

Hey iYup/LM... what jazz album should I check out next? I adore Bitches Brew, love Kind of Blue, like but haven't spent enough time with In a Silent Way and really enjoy Wayne Shorter's Juju.

 

[LemonMelon]

I've been listening to a lot of Herbie Hancock lately. Head Hunters is one of the finest examples of jazz fusion, I can recommend that one highly.

 

[iron yuppie]

Personally, I would go deeper into Shorter's catalogue - particularly See No Evil and Night Dreamer. Hancock is also great: Empyrean Isles and the aforementioned Head Hunters are both classics. You might also enjoy Freddie Hubbard, who played extensively with both Shorter and Hancock. He's a trumpet player in the bop/modal vein.

 

[LemonMelon]

I like Speak No Evil more than Juju, personally, but it's only a small difference.

 

[cobl04]

When I say I "really enjoy" Juju what I actually mean is "I fucking love the riff in Deluge"

 

[LemonMelon]

Karma by Pharoah Sanders is one of the best albums I've ever heard. Way trippier than any other jazz I know of. Cosmic as fuck.

 

[LemonMelon]

Zen Arcade would be so much better with a half hour cut out of it. Something I Learned Today, Broken Home Broken Heart, Pink Turns to Blue, Newest Industry, etc. are all great tracks, but punk is not best heard in 70 minute installments.

MODS!
Clean up this all the garbage in this thread!

Ok. How about you stop trolling this thread? Problem solved.

 

[iron yuppie]

Have you heard any Charles Mingus, Cobbler? He's esoteric but also essential listening for any jazz fan.

 

[LemonMelon]

Charles Mingus is my favorite jazz musician, straight up. I find him more consistent than Miles, though Miles made a greater number of groundbreaking albums over the course of his career.

 

[Hewson]

Ok. How about you stop trolling this thread? Problem solved.

Maybe he can put himself on ignore.

 

[nielsgov]

I don't think his post count is high enough for that.

BANNER YEAR CONTlNUES

 

[u2popmofo]

Wtf.

 

[Imperor]

The single is so good that I'm willing to forgive Sammy B.

A photo of a dude and a chick pressed up against eachother leaning on a wall at some bar or party, and the chick is smoking a cigarette?

I actually like that photo. I guess the frame around it is weird. Is the frame what you guys don't like?

 

[Imperor]

Definitely the frame. Looks like shit. Really disappointing given the great artwork he's had over the years.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

30 Rock series finale tonight, man. Over the last couple of years I haven't followed the show as religiously as I used to, but it's still one of my all-time favorites. We've had some great laughs.

 

[Imperor]

Shit, forgot that was tonight. I've still been diligent about keeping up with it, unlike The Office. I'll try and knock it out at some point tonight.

 

[Imperor]

Dunno if anyone's mentioned it yet, but the Jim James solo joint is on NPR First Listen. I wasn't super hyped on it when it was announced, but I love it after a couple listens.

 

[LemonMelon]

Really disappointing given the great artwork he's had over the years.

2013 is a bitch that way.

Interviews: Foxygen | Features | Pitchfork

Should probably make a Foxygen thread.

Should also probably make that listening party thread. Should we go with DB's choice of Depeche Mode for the first band?

 

[u2popmofo]

From the above interview:

SF: I don't really blame anybody, because if I saw the "San Francisco" video, I'd probably be like, "That guy looks like a fucking clown idiot imbecile asshole, what the fuck is going on there? This sucks-- it just sounds like some 60s bullshit and looks like Wes Anderson." But that's the point. We're trying to bring a little fun, a little color.

What did you think of his last album, Impy? I found it grew on me the more I listened.,,
