i'm only sleeping Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 I dislike the Lucinda cover of Goin' down the road feelin bad...although the mood is truer to the lyrics than the gd version.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Fucked Up's Cream Puff War is done pretty well. Both heavy and psychedelic. Not sure about the Flaming Lips' cover of Dark Star. Wayne is pulling it in more of a Syd Barrett direction. I'm still waiting for a gospel version of Dark Star. Give it to Mavis next time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted May 31, 2016 Author Share Posted May 31, 2016 I dislike the Lucinda cover of Goin' down the road feelin bad...although the mood is truer to the lyrics than the gd version....Me too. As a big fan, I'm disappointed I don't like her contribution. Have I already noted I can't listen to the version of Black Peter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Mumford and Sons is horrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 So far I'm liking Deadicated much more than this one. Nothing is really jumping out as of yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 At 59 tracks I didn't expect to like it all, but now that I'm through it all at least once, the good way outweighs the bad for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jw harding Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Deadicated was a pretty safe, mainstream album. Pretty much straightforward covers of their most popular songs. This album gets more into the experimental weirdness and diversity in their sound. Rosemary, What's Become of the Baby, King Solomon, three Dark Stars, etc. There's a lot that falls flat, but all in all, probably 2 plus hours of good music in here.

Lammycat Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Deadicated was a pretty safe, mainstream album. Pretty much straightforward covers of their most popular songs. Hmmm. Jane's Addiction's "Ripple" (possibly the best GD cover ever, imo) is nothing like a straightforward take on an original. A Reggae take on "Estimated" (not necessarily a huge leap, but still), the Dr. John New Orleans-style "Deal," etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 the Vile/Mascis, Bonnie Prince Billy and Yo La Tengo songs on DotD are excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm liking the D2 run of Mountains of the Moon, Dark Star, Nightfall of Diamonds, Transitive Refraction, Playin. The 2 tracks by Orchestra Baobab really stand out: Clementine Jam and Franklin's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worldrecordplayer Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 the Vile/Mascis, Bonnie Prince Billy and Yo La Tengo songs on DotD are excellent.Agree with all that, especially the Bonnie Prince Billy tracks, of whom I had not heard of before this release. His version of Ruben and Cherise is sweet. As was Sunday night's version at the Cap with Warren and Krasno: http://www.jambase.com/article/pro-shot-video-phil-lesh-friends-plays-reuben-cerise-capitol-theatre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 http://www.jambase.com/article/pro-shot-video-phil-lesh-friends-plays-reuben-cerise-capitol-theatreMy good pal flew out from CO for the shows and just posted his "vid" of this from that night and it sounds great!

tinnitus photography Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 i was gonna say _I See A Darkness_ and then post the vid, but then i found this radically different (and equally rad) version on youtube. this was the song Johnny Cash covered, btw.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iV4NwSbscg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 i personally love the 2nd record (aka Days in the Wake), and this song never fails to slay me. "when was the first time you realized the next time time would be the last time."now that's a fucking lyric.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noAfSZVTqtQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 this is kinda unrelated, but i love this cover of "Thunder Road" that Will did w/ Tortoise.btw, the book that Oldham did w/ Alan Licht is excellent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fb1bf-HpyD0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 The two jams I kept going back to during my weekend Wilco road trip were Malkmus & Tunde Adebimpe. Am I just biased cuz I already love those guys? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
