Relix June 2008 Compilation

Dogbowl - Flan (left over from yesterday)

I am absolutely floored that you are the first to present a list. And a rough draft at that.

I'm getting a lot better at hearing sarcasm over the internet these days.

"You're Breaking My Heart" - Harry Nilsson

You're breaking my heart

You're tearing it apart

So fuck you

This post will be my work-in-progress page.

I will mail off the final list, as instructed, when I am done.

Edited (6/12/08)

1. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

2. Beatles - Revolver

3. Kinks - Something Else

4. Brian Eno - Another Green World

5. Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

6. Television - Marquee Moon

7. John Cale - Paris, 1919

8. Tom Z

Sounds good.

My list is always so liquid. I mean, the top 5 contains pretty much the same albums, but the order shifts from day-to-day. And then, after 5, it's a crapshoot.

"better, best guitarist"

 

 

True dat. And I know better.

Hell, good better best ANYTHING that can't be quantified, for that matter.

"I Hear You Knockin'"

Looks like a Luna kind of day!

who is this clarence white fellow? in a band? a solo act? a douchebag?

Played a lot of lead guitar with The Byrds on Sweetheart of the Rodeo and after... in the "country" phase. He also played with them on Younger Than Yesterday (listen to the lead guitar on "Time Between" - that's him, too).

Here's his AllMusic entry:

Oh yeah, also co-inventor of the Parsons-White String Bender. (You guitarists know what I'm talking about.)

and also their "Brown Reason to Live..." but I didn't want to post that cover art because it has weenises on it.

HA!

That's the word that my 6- and 8-year-olds use to refer to their own parts.

I don't think any of us here have the authority to change the list.

Well aware.

Just being emphatic for my man Clarence. This is a thread where we use said list as impetus to start mentioning our own favorites, is it not? And, Clarence White was a better guitarist than ANY of the previously mentioned folks.

Luna - Penthouse

Sly & The Family Stone - There's a Riot Goin' On

King Khan & The Shrines - What Is!?

Dogbowl - Flan

Clarence FREAKING White!!!

damnit.

I wish I liked Rush more than I do, because they all seem like such damn cool guys.

This here is just more proof.

Clarence White!

Always liked Brian Dunn from Stump the Host. But they never got very popular outside of Chicago. Still, that guy is a monster!

John Prine - "Sam Stone"

John Prine - Great Days: The John Prine Anthology (disc 1)

Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones

Yo La Tengo - Electr-o-Pura

no ... it was 10cc

 

 

Fooled Around and Fell in Love was Elvin Bishop.

Always get those songs confused as to who sang them! Anyway, I like them both, and the sentiment of my post remains the same.

Reckoning

Murmur

Life's Rich Pageant

I don't know how much of it is really your fault, but that's what you get for going to see James Taylor. (Kidding. )

The things we do for love...

(Oh wait... that was Elvin Bishop!)

Jeebus.

I would say that I was damn stupid, if I weren' just clueless at the time. I'm not even a big JT fan. But the rain held off, we didn't see any tornadoes, and we didn't hear any sirens. So that's lucky.

Just a bunch of streaming stuff from this site:

www.iacmusic.com

A lot of good stuff there.

CD

DVD

Oh, and a $25 gift card to a restaurant in Chicago, all because I knew that

Grateful Dead - "Box Of Rain"

was released in 1970.

It's not too hard to get through at 5:45 in the morning, you know. So, I'll see if my guys like it and, if not, I'll probably put it up on the trading block, although I might not.

"Dancing Partner" - Joe Pisapia

Just becaue I'm like that, you can hear this song at his MySpace:

http://www.myspace.com/joepisapia

The day I went to visit her

Soon after she turned ninety-four

The coffee and the Entenmann's

We talked as if we were old friends

 

She filled me in on gossip

All the seniors in the complex

We talked about the days gone by

And then she told me with a sigh,

 

It's been twenty-seven years

He's passed away

It still feels like yesterday

 

The conversation turned to love

As any long talk always does

She asked about my situation

Was there someone I was dating

 

I told her of a pretty girl

Who's teaching me to dance

She told me how she love to dance

But only with one man then she said,

 

When they play that music

I turn the other way

Since my dancing partner's away

 

Driving home so late that night

My mind still recollecting

All the many things we talked about

Like living with and then without

 

I wondered to myself if I would

Ever love someone that way

And in the echoes of that night

I still can see her as she's saying,

 

When they play that music

I turn the other way

Since my dancing partner's away
