I was actually able to UPLOAD to sendspace!!!

Here you go, if you want the complete album, download here:

Cash Cow - rBGH (1994)

(I just hope that it works. Please let me know. And yes, this is legal; I own the damn album... it's my music!)

Both are streaming audio. And, if I can ever gain access to torrent sites again, I will provide you with the entire album for free. (It was, sadly, never released.)

"Wasted Time"

"Whiskey"

Both are from my old punk band, Cash Cow. The recordings are circa 1994. Hope y'all aren't offended that I'm putting this up. And I hope that you don't consider it spam. Like I said, I'll give it away when I can.

In the meantime, I do hope that you like the songs.

I freaking LOVE that record!

Have you heard it on vinyl? It's one of those albums that is miraculous-sounding on a turntable.

Yep. They called themselves The Fabulous Pussywillows

I saw this when it first aired. And I happened to be (ahem) not low. And it blew my mind.

From David Sanborn's old "Night Music" show; one of the coolest shows to ever fly under the radar.

And I'm still a little in love with Ann Magnuson.

Dig it.

I noticed that too.....

 

As far as my surgery, no staples on the outside, and I am getting stronger every day.

Glad to hear that, Lou.

John Prine - Aimless Love

Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Ultimate Collection

Until the End Of the World (OST)

Built To Spill - Keep It Like a Secret

If you've been working there 4 years, I'm sure that you've seen me come in. I don't come in much (I live in the burbs). But I lived in the neighborhood when John first opened the store. And his appearance is what sealed the deal as Lincoln Square being the perfect neighborhood.

Of course, now it's changed quite a bit, but Laurie's has only gotten better.

I'll be in again in December (most likely), I'll say hey if you're there.

And yeah, Laurie's is a great store.

You're pulling my leg right? That's too crazy!

No he (she?) is not. And it is great.

I thought of another wonderful, improbable one:

"I Want You To Want Me" - Dwight Yoakam (Cheap Trick)

and yeah, it's pretty great.

my top 5:

 

Another Green World

Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)

Here Come the Warm Jets

Apollo (Atmospheres and Soundtracks)

Before And After Science

then there are his collaborations with Robert Fripp, which are worth checking out.

Replace Apollo with the Cale collaboration (Wrong Way Up) and that's pretty much my take on it, too.

I am not familiar with this. Could you elaborate?

Nearly impossible to describe.

But, essentially, it's a deck of tarot-like cards. Each card has a message/image designed to guide the artist through the creative process, while still letting the artist be soverign. The artist can create their own meaning for each card drawn. Here's the web site:

It's freaking cool.

I only started getting into him fairly recently. And, over that period I have come to the conclusion that anything he has had anything to do with, musically, has been amazing and brilliant.

He may be the single most brilliant musical figure of our time, IMO.

From production, to creating his own albums, to creating a system (Oblique Strategies) that seems to bring out the best in musicians. The guy is (pardon the term) unfuckwithable.

Seriously.

One of the staples was already pulled out prior to me opening it and the other is precarious at best. Not taking it back just for that.

At first, I thought you were talking about your surgery and I cringed.

i so do not get all the love for Loveless musically...

 

it seems like this mythical record these days

 

Only Shallow is amazing, i'll give you that, but on the whole i just find it to be a good but not amazing record.

I was with you on that for many years. Then, one day, it hit me like a ton of bricks and I didn't even realize it until the record had ended, I was so lost in it all. Keep listening. If and when it does hit you, you will know.

Ride/Catherine Wheel>MBV

Maybe for the complete discography, but neither band has done anything close to approaching the brilliance of Loveless.

Velvet Underground - "I'll Be Your Mirror"

Ill be your mirror

Reflect what you are, in case you don

11/8/07:

Richard Davies - There's Never Been a Crowd Like This

Sonic Youth - Daydream Nation

V/A - O' Brother Where Art Thou? (OST)

Mission Of Burma - Vs.

One that many of you may not have been aware was a cover song:

"Respect" - Aretha Franklin (Otis Redding)

Not true. This Yankee is a long-time Weddoes/Cinerama fan. Been listening to Gedge's stuff since 1991. Saw them in Atlanta on their last tour in 1996, a few months before their 6-year hiatus started. They're slowly working on the follow-up to "Take Fountain." Can't fuckin' wait.

A generalization, of course. I know that they have their Anglophile fans here. I have many friends who have sung their praises for years. I just never listened to them... or, rather, always had another album that I wanted more than theirs when I went to buy records.

Looks like this Kevin Shields fellow is a man of his word' date=' huh? In the January/February 2007 issue of Magnet magazine, as previously reported, Shields promised that some band he's part of called My Bloody Valentine were "100% going to make another...record unless we die or something."

 

Today comes word that Shields wasn't just pulling our whammy bars, as the Vice-associated (UPDATE: Not associated, just good friends) Daily Swarm has revealed bits from a interview with Shields-- set to air on a forthcoming episode of Vice's vbs.tv program "Soft Focus"-- in which the shoegaze godfather and fanclub president* confirms that the new album is being made, and what's more, it's supposed to come out this year.

 

Speaking to "Soft Focus" host and DC scene mainstay Ian Svenonius, here's Kevin: "We were making a record in the 90s, around when the band broke up in 1995...and I continued with Bilinda [butcher, guitarist/vocalist']. We kinda made...most of an album...

 

"[The new album is] going to be this 96/97 half-finished record finished, and then a compilation of stuff we did before that in 1993

Is there any chance that there is streaming audio of that Fats tune, Joss?

I have no access to torrent sites and would love to hear this.

The Wedding Present

I've just really heard a lot of their stuff for the first time, and they are the quintessential BritPop band. Especially since nobody in the US EVER listens to them.

Toots & The Maytalls

Another band I've just discovered and, for my money, Toots has one of the greatest voices in the history of modern music.

So yeah, I did a search and didn't see any threads covering this topic.

Some of my favorite cover tunes:

"Que Sera Sera" - Sly & The Family Stone (Doris Day)

"Somebody's Baby" - Yo La Tengo (Jackson Browne)

"Take Me Home Country Roads" - Toots & The Maytalls (John Denver)

"A Hazy Shade Of Winter" - The Bangles (Simon & Garfunkel)

"Eight Miles High" - H

No - that was joke on rock bio pics in general. I should have made that more clear.

S'okay. I'm kinda slow on the uptake, if you haven't noticed.

Here is a site with a trailer for the film.

You love fucking with the newbies, don't you?

So when is that biopic gonna be coming out?

I thought that it was in production?
