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)

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.

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

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

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?

Laurie's is the best.

Yes, I did like the Eagles. And I don't think that they suck. But after hearing the same damn songs over and over... And that applies to ANYTHING that Don Henley sings on, actually. Just one of those voices and one of those presences whose mere existance has been working on my nerves for the last 25 or 30 years. And I think that is probably how most of the Eagles haters here feel. Nobody denies them their talent, it's just... ENOUGH ALREADY. That said, Joe Walsh has escaped a lot of the ill feelings associated with his former band. Both from me and from many other Eagles haters that I kno

I just make it up as I go along. Some beef, some beans, some tomatoes (both canned and fresh), some chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder... Maybe some cinnamon, cocoa, and clove, if I'm feeling the Cincy thing. Cook it for about 3 or 4 hours. Just make that up. It's hard to screw up.

The fact that they share a birthday, too has got to drive Ryan Adams freaking crazy.

What is it? And I am listening to the following today: Willie Nelson - To Lefty, From Willie D'Angelo - Voodoo Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Live Seeds Brinsley Schwarz - Cruel To Be Kind (Live @ the BBC) Pandora.com -- Tom Z

Can somebody explain it to me so'ze that I can participate in that other "One Song" thread? I tried asking in there, but got no response. Is it just reciting what you think are good lyrics? Anyway... thanks.

My Top 5 (for now): King Khan & The Shrines - What Is?!?! Martin Newell - A Summer Tamarind Tom Z

Happy Ashtray - Happy Friday mp3 series

American Idiot does have a lot more substance, both lyrically and musically than most of their past records. The only thing that sounds the same is Billy Joe's voice; I can understand how a lot of people have a hard time getting past that.

I loved Gish. And I think that, musically, a lot of the SP stuff is really good and interesting. I just don't like his voice. His singing sounds like a baby with colic at 3 a.m. (But the voice works when there's layers of guitars around it.)

Keep it simple: "I'm always in love."
