John Prine, Diamonds in the Rough, Sweet Revenge, Common Sense, Bruised Orange, Pink Cadillac, Storm Windows, Aimless Love - John Prine

the drummer from The Rural Alberta Advantage is insane. The guy from The National, too.

didn't care for this album...but the "gather" album was okay. they are just a little too experimental for me.

hmmm. i can't really see that, but ok.

i mean, i get that Where We Belong is kind of experimental, but it tugs on a lot of heart strings, too (in my opinion).

forgot how much i liked this one. it's one of those that kind of has to be listened to all the way through.

note: Mbira in the Morass is a tough 3:51 to get through.

Generally I think a drum solo at any concert is time to head to the bathroom or get a beer but a good drummer is absolutely key to a band.

 

As someone who has auditioned many a band member, drummers do seem to be a different breed of cat altogether.

that last sentence is especially true. i'd love to find a drummer who doesn't want to solo at some point, or overplay at any point, etc. it'd be a dream come true.

i can't for the life of me figure out why more people don't love these guys.

one of my fave albums this year by far

definitely an interesting album.

Questlove mentioned it a while back, when the album was first mentioned as upcoming. I don't know if they actually recorded it or not, but I would love to hear them play that song.

 

Don't know if it would fit into the album's sound, though. Unless they gave it a similar kind of jazzy arrangement. Either way, I hope they did record it, or at least play it live.

Zappa's wife probably nixed the whole thing.

they covered Peaches? man i wanna hear that. it's a pretty solid album, though. enjoying it. Dear God 2.0 is really nice.

forgot how good this was. yeeeeessss.

This'll keep you occupied for a while.

 

thanks.

hey where should i start with Big Star? i've never seen a band so few people have heard of get so much attention by one site. i must hear.

I must say it is still in heavy rotation for this old man.

yeah, i mean i listen to Western Skyline, When My Time Comes, and Love Is All I Am a lot. God Rest My Soul a bit too. the rest i haven't really listened to much since first hearing the album.

yeah they streamed it live that evening. was quite awesome.

i got an old silvertone last september for $300. saw the exact same one on ebay that went for $750. good investment.

Just bought this on vinyl:

 

 

Easily one of my favorite record of the past decade.

how have i never heard this? i'm going to remedy that immediately.

jeff gave me his pick. my mind was blown.

such a fun song.

just finished:

 

now listening to:

Panda Bear - Person Pitch

your panda bear pick made me get that album out again. haven't listened to it in a year and i'm digging it more than i used to. thanks!

Trouble was an excellent album. the follow ups have been okay to pretty good.

this dude just keeps puttin em out. i enjoy his stuff, but somehow forget about him until a new one comes out. feels like "gossip in the grain" just came out.

i'm digging both tracks off the single. wasn't so much at first, but they're growing on me.

yeah Volunteers is on there.

you should really check out both of their LPs, "Bury The Square" and "Gather, Form, & Fly".

google la blogotheque + megafaun.

in other news, their "mini"-LP, "Heretofore", comes out in september. EXCITED.
