Joe Pisapia -- Seriously, y'all


Recommended Posts

I tried telling y'all about him in THIS THREAD, but nobody seems to want to listen.

 

Maybe it's because I'm still a newbie?

Ask LouieB, I am a real person who really likes this board, and not a street teamer.

 

Anyway, his album is still kicking my ass 5 years after its release. May sneak its way into my top-50, all-time.

Hyperbole? Maybe. But I think that many of you around here will like it.

 

And, yeah I do tend to do this from time to time -- hype up my favorite bands. But as I plan on sticking around for a while, you'd better get used to it.

 

Anyway, I hope that, if you do check it out, you'll let me know what you think.

 

Here's his link again:

And, I'm not spamming about my band (yet), so just wait until I get a little more established!

Joe is quite talented, his "Daydreams" and his band Joe, Marc's Brother's "Around the Year With" are already in my top-50.

 

Saw Joe do an hour long set on S&D this past January. Was the highlight performance of the cruise for sure.

 

You can watch some videos of it on YouTube...

Agreed - this is a questionable move, PopTodd.

 

 

Thanks for the advice.

Duly noted.

Well, simply stated, Joe Pisapia's Daydreams was my favorite album of 2002. I told everyone about it as often as I could. And I asked Joe several times when the hell he will release a new one. But he was too busy touring with Guster, I think. He's a fine, sensitive producer. He's got the gift of a painter for sounds and music. That's what Daydreams is. Musical painting. Among the finest, most subtle tunes and harmonies and sounds I heard in the latest years.

I have to admit I have not yet listened to Joe Pisapia's own work, but from seeing Guster last summer several times, but I'm with Solace and Mystic Spiral and a lot of others here -- I can't imagine Guster without him as well. Thanks, PopTodd, for this extra nudge not to miss it.

 

And for you uber fans: Ryan Miller of Guster has his own "Joe, Marc's Brother" T-shirt for sale in a charity auction here. :)

 

 

Edit: ckc: Do you know who is playing with Joe (besides Ryan Miller who I recognize) in the first video from Ships & Dips you posted above for the song "That's Enough" ... ? It's a really beautiful performance!

On S&D Joe was accompanied by:

 

Ryan Miller (Guster) - Guitar and Vocals

Tyler Stewart (BNL) - Drums and Vocals

Jim Creeggan (BNL) - Upright Bass and Vocals

on some songs he was also accompanied by...

Brian Rosenworcel (Guster) - Percussion

Adam Gardner (Guster) - Vocals

 

Those 3 guys on the left (stage right) are from the Colorado bluegrass band called Oakhurst I think the banjo player is Zach Daniels, but not sure of the other 2 guys names.

 

The thing I love about his "Daydreams" and Marc's Brother's "Around the Year With" -- is that they go great together. I never tire of listening to either of them -- over and over and over.

 

He may be busy touring, but I suspect he's stockpiling some Joe P. nuggets for future release. A songwriter who can pull off 2 amazing releases in a period of just 2 years is bound to have more great songs to share with us in the future.
