worldrecordplayer Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Well, if I've already been obsessed with CB and her music over the last couple of months, her stock has now risen even higher in my book. This entire broadcast rings true to me, starting with the cross-generational appeal of her music. I started taking my kids to shows when they were 9 and 7. In a "what goes around comes around" way, a few months ago, my now 25 year old son emailed me the he had gotten a drop of the new CB album and he strongly recommended I check it out. He also sent me a link to the Steven Hyden piece on her on Grantland. I was sold. Quickly got the double EP and Sometimes I Sit and Think as soon as it came out. I saw her at the Sinclair in Cambridge a couple months ago. My son caught the 2 shows at the 9:30 Club this past weekend that Boilen refers to in this broadcast. With all that as background, to hear her talk about Wilco/Handshake Drugs and Talking Heads/Once In A Lifetime confirms all my instincts about her and her musical and lyrics sensibilities.

nalafej Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 She would do a great cover of Handshake Drugs or even, dare I say, Spiders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 She would do a great cover of Handshake Drugs or even, dare I say, Spiders. I would LOVE to hear the Handshake Drugs cover! She'd kill that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 The cover of Cannonball by the Breeders is pretty sweet http://www.onionstudios.com/videos/courtney-barnett-covers-the-breeders-2301 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cold as Gasoline Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Really nice, and a very natural fit! I could start a whole other thread on how much I love those AV Club covers. The Sylvan Esso cover of Gillian Welch's "Everything is Free" is my current fave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magnetized Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Courtney Barnett will be on CBS Saturday Morning today in their Saturday Sessions segment. The show is on from 9am-11am, but the music segment is usually during the second hour. There'll be an interview and performance. It'll probably get archived somewhere later, but if anyone is reading this in real time, turn on your TVs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bleedorange Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Got her double EP and listened to it the other day. It's okay. LouieB It's a lot better than "okay." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It started off better than okay and then got repetitious I thought. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not as much as Sometimes I Sit and Think..., but it does have Avant Gardner, so that in and of itself gets it a better than okay rating in my book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Will listen to it more. Have not heard the new one LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jff Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think it's repetitive, too. I enjoyed her Tiny Desk Concert, so I'll keep listening and hope that it clicks. Her voice is by far the dominant sound in the mix, as it should be, I suppose. Unfortunately, her singing is completely devoid of range. Somehow, that gets amplified in a rock band context.

Vacant Horizon Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 There are some great elements. I love her guitar playing and sound. Her singing is like a female Lou Reed. I'd like to hear what Tweedy would do as her producer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
