PopTodd. that tim armstrong album is so great.

[PopTodd]

Yup. I like it a lot, too. Pretty much pure rocksteady, which is nice to hear from him.

Enjoy the discovery! There's a lot out there to hear!

[CortezTheKiller]

[PopTodd]

I just seem to keep running through album after album today!

Glad that it brought me to this sweetheart of an album. I love it:

[cooperissup3r]

yes there is. i'm just trying to figure it all out.

[PopTodd]

yes there is. i'm just trying to figure it all out.

 

Since we all love to make lists...

PopTodd's favorite YLT albums:

 

• Electr-o-Pura
  
• Fakebook
  
• I Am Not Afraid of You and Will Beat Your Ass
  
• Painful
  
• I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One
  
• And then Nothing Turned Itself Inside Out
  
• May I Sing With Me

While Popular Songs is not as great as the aforementioned, I still want to recommend it only on the strength of Here To Fall.

can't stop listening to this at the moment ...

the first of the bowie albums that's been given the deluxe edition treatment that i really love, and therefore bought.

anyone know if they're doing the same thing with low/heroes/lodger next?

 

This is what's been done so far:

 

David Bowie - Deluxe Edition (2CD)

Space Oddity - 2009 Special Edition (2CD)

Ziggy Stardust - 2002 30th Anniversary 2CD Edition

Aladdin Sane - 2003 30th Anniversary 2CD Edition

Diamond Dogs - 2004 30th Anniversary 2CD Edition

David Live - 2005 30th Anniversary 2CD Edition

Young Americans - 2007 Collector's Edition with accompanying DVD

Station to Station - 2010 Special and Deluxe Editions

Stage - 2005 release (2CD) - actual running order and fades between songs removed

Ziggy Stardust : The Motion Picture - 2003 30th Anniversary 2CD Edition

Black Tie White Noise - 2003 10th Anniversary 2CD +DVD Edition

Outside - 2004 Limited 2CD edition

Hours... - 2005 2CD reissue

 

So I'd say there's a Low/Heroes/Lodger gap in there. Either that or the more anticipated and more critically acclaimed Tonight / Labyrinth OST / Never Let Me Down triumvirate quite rightly gets a look in first.

 

Been listening to this far more frequently than is healthy:

 

[PopTodd]

[mjpuczko]

deer tick - black dirt sessions.

love it

[lizish]

deer tick - black dirt sessions.

love it

 

cha-ching!

 

 

You Am I - S/T

 

Not as bad as I was fearing.

[jff]

 

Forgot I had this. Amazing!

[PopTodd]

 

Forgot I had this. Amazing!

Is that a John Zorn thing?

[jff]

Is that a John Zorn thing?

 

Yeah, Masada. It's his jazz/klezmer quartet w/ Dave Douglas (trumpet), Joey Baron (drums) & Greg Cohen (bass).

 

I'm not a huge Zorn fan, but this is an extraordinary group.

[lizish]

Djing Friday and only have 20 or so minutes to prove my worth. Putting final touches on mix:

 

1) Detroit Cobras - Ya ya ya

2) David Byrne - Big Blue Plymouth

3) Hollarado - Fake Drugs

4) Tones on Tail - GO

5) Shriekback - my spine is the baseline

6) New Order - Temptation

7) Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows

8) Heavy Balloon - Lead Zeppelin

9) Mickey hawks and the Nigth Raiders - Bip Bam Bop.

 

and yes, the theme is roughly the 80s

[calvino]

The Tonic CD is a great one. Wish Zorn/Masada would come to Chicago more often. Only caught Masada once. They played a concert at the Mandel Hall at the Univ. of Chicago a few years back. The first part of the concert was a sound check (they all got into town late), than played the concert, than afterward the whole band did a Q & A. Nice night of music.

[PopTodd]

I used to have Aleph and Bet from Masada, but was not aware that they had done anything else together since the early 90's. I loved those records and should probably go dig them up again sometime. Thanks for the reminder.

I didn't think they'd done so many. I'm not really that interested in any of those earlier albums, but if they've done all those then surely Low must be next in line. Anyway, what's wrong with Labyrinth? I love that film - "you remind me of the babe. what babe? the babe with the power. what power?" etc etc etc...
