Dream opener would be...

ME!!!

But barring that, I would love to see Jay Farrar or Son Volt.

And then, let the magic continue with a full-on UT reunion!

Combined this would definitely make my list, but I don't know it is after all two records.

I bought it as a single disc

Mine changes pretty much daily, but for now (in no particular order):

Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

Beatles - Revolver

Wire - Pink Flag

John Cale - Paris, 1919

Brian Eno - Another Green Day

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Tom Z

Without E.B. I would not know what ambergris is.

 

last night at a birthday party in queens, mr. fick and me.

Fickerson?

Also from Obner/CMJ?

Hey!

And, I don't remember if I put up a pic of me or not.

I'll assume that I did.

I don't have the doc channel, so I had no idea.

And, is that Donald Sutherland that I see on the Little Murders poster, too?

I'll add:

 

It's pretty widely available now, but just a couple of years ago it was hard to find.

Pray tell... what's it about?

Life's Rich Pageant and Automatic for the People have been the albums that have held up best to these ears.

Always been a Murmur and Reckoning guy, myself.

Okay, so the thead is already a joke.

Next caller, please...

And, I don't think that I want to know about your pick Lou!

by first song you mean the first song you dance too? gal & i are getting married sometime next year & this will be talked about a lot in a short while.

Yeah. First one you dance to. Any tunes being bantered about by you and your fiance

I got Speckeled Egg on reissue as well....

 

I have found the other regularly released albums over the years.

 

LouieB

"Speckled Egg"?

You referring to "Speckly"?

Yeah, I grabbed that, too when AUM reissued it.

I think that with the new reissues that I mentioned in the first post in this thread, that my SB collection (minus the offshoot bands) is now complete. I do need to pick up a few more TSAC records as well as the second Falstaff record. I am such a freak about them and I take a lot of crap about that at another board where I post.

Oh well.

Louie: You know about The Flavor Channel? Another Chicago band that you may like.

My iTunes shuffle.

Also, various stations here:

In particular, my station:

The Shrimp Boat Box set from a few years back was outstanding...

Have it.

Love it!

My wife is so cool.

We both agreed on:

"You're the One For Me"

by Jonathan Richman

If you didn't want me you shouldn't have been born

That started all the trouble now the damage been done

You never should have been born

Cuz now you're the one for me

 

And if you didn't want me to follow you around

You never should have showed up around my town

You never should have come to town

Cuz now you're the one for me

 

And it's too late cuz now you're stuck with me

Better give up, it's me you choose

I say "ha ha ha ha, it's me, you lose."

It's to late cuz now my minds is set

You better give up because i won't forget

That could never never be

Well you're the one for me

Oh baby, oh honey

Well it's too late

You're the one for me

 

If you didn't want me you shouldn't have been born

And we never should have met that morn

We never should have met

Cuz now you're the one for me

 

And if you didn't want me to want you this way

Well you never should have seen my rock n roll band play

You never should have seen the lovers play

Cuz now you're the one for me.

 

And it's too late cuz now you're stuck with me

Better give up, it's me you choose

I say "ha ha ha ha, it's me, you lose."

It's to late cuz now my minds is set

You better give up because i won't forget

That could never never be

Well you're the one for me

Oh babe, oh honey

It's just too late

You're the one for me

You're the one for me

You're the one, you're the one

You're the one, it's too late

You're the one

How about you?

I would say theres more of a jazz influence

Absolutely.

And also a very strong Appalatcian (sp?) folk/country influence too, in some of the tunes.

My 6- and 8-year-old boys were walking around all weekend; one would ask:

"Are we not men?"

The other would reply:

"We are DEVO!!!"

I'm either raising them very, very right, or very, very wrong.

So much better than the general public gives them credit for.

And yeah, they do belong in the HOF.

The Wonderful, Horrible Life Of Leni Riefenstahl

Ms. Riefenstahl created 2 of the most artistically important films in history, that just happened to be Nazi propaganda — Triumph Of the Will and Olympiad. An examination of the life and politics of a true artist with questionable motives. It's a 4-hour documentary that is nonetheless immenently watchable (with an intermission). Includes interviews with a 92-year-old Leni, herself.

Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without a Face)

A creepy, creepy B&W horror film from the early 60's that is shockingly grisly for the time. But mostly, it's creepy and very effective. About a surgeon who was driven mad when his precious daughter was horribly disfigured in an accident. But I'll leave it there, as the movie is better that way.

-let's hear yours

A couple of more-recent classics:

Babe

The Iron Giant

Yeah, they're "kids'" movies, but they're also amazing films.

And, for something COMPLETLY different:

Freaks

Now, I'm off to make an "Unseen Classics" thread, for recommendations of films that most have probably not seen. And I am looking forward to seeing your recs. and descriptions.

Wow.

Don't knock it 'till you try it

Eating can be fun!!!

Try eating bits of lots of things

Instead of lots of one!!!

IT'S A WAGON WHEEL!!!

Now, THAT does it for me.

Damn. Nostalgia.

I'm right back in my parents' basement again, playing Basball or Horse Racing.

Man, I can't wait to get my hands on some of that. I'm a Sam Prekop/Sea And Cake devotee to a fault. Just got The Biz on Friday and I'm currently addicted.

With the exception of his voice, the SB records (excepting Cavale) all sound pretty damn different from The Sea and Cake. A lot weirder and more organic.

I am on my way to ToysRUs.

My kids have one, too!

And yeah, it's still the favorite game in the house... even after 6 months.

Anyone have a chance to check this out?

I'm curious to know what you thought of it all, as I am a S.B. cultist.

Listeining to Cavale as I type.
