A thread for random thoughts about music

I have no doubt it's already happened.

In LA all things are possible: I once saw a Nick "Hot Child in the City" Gilder tribute band in LA. And they rocked.

 

No way! I'd fly to LA to see that. Nick's "You Really Rock Me" is my favorite top down late evening zippin' down the highway song ever.

As for the Mott tribute band, my buddy is the guitarist in Ian Hunter's band, which has morphed more or less into a tribute band anyway.

 

I saw Toots back in '82 or so and it was easily one of the top 5 concerts I have ever seen, and I wasn't even 'seeing Jah' if you know what I mean.

The dude was simply incredible and totally infectious. I have one of his ablums but can't remember its name. Brilliant stuff.

 

Rage Against the Machine's cover album (Renegades) is arguably the best thing they ever put out.

 

I'm really, really starting to like Crowded House.

 

"Irish Blood, English Heart" Is my current "can't get enough" song.

 

Band Name of the Week:

The Self Righteous Brothers

Tomorrow night at Bottom of the Hill. Somethin tells me I ain't gonna make it.

 

Band name of the week:

Casiotone for the Painfully Alone
Next Tuesday at the cheerfully monikered Hemlock Tavern.

Unlike the other entries, I've actually heard of this band before today.

 

Way.

And get this -- the lead singer/lead guitarist was the guy who played Cousin Oliver on the Brady Bunch. I kid thee not.

He was actually quite good.
And he marshalled his troops extremely well. On your favorite song, all three guitarists would lean in during an a capella chorus break, share one mic, and point in unison to the audience ("You really rock..") and to themselves ("..ME!").

Glam nirvana.

 

That's nuts. I'd have whizzed my pants if I had seen that.

 

--"Push it real good."

 

The first downloadable musical ringtone I ever heard was that song. The owner of the ringtone will forever be my hero.

- The more I listen to the Cardigans' Gran Turismo, the better it gets. Almost Bell Biv DeVoe good.

- Wilson Phillips are playing Bryant Park tomorrow morning. Did they kill the fat lady?

 

No she got mega-liposuction and the stomach stapling thing.

Hard to believe the one in the middle was the fat lady huh?

 

yeah, but have you seen her lately? she's put back at least 50 lbs, maybe more.

 

It took time to grow on me too. One of my all time favorite CDs.

 

Franz Ferdinand makes me want to shake my ass.

 

The best album title out there right now:

"The Difference Between You And Me Is That I'm Not On Fire," by mclusky

 

Random non-music thought:

Yanks' avatar is really bumming me out.

 

Sorry. Sucks that she's gone.

 

Franz Ferdinand makes me want to shake my ass, too. And the new McLusky disk is excellent, but not as catchy as McLusky Do Dallas. The new disk has taken a little more time to grow on me, but then again, my band is better than your band.

 

Death Cab for Cutie is one of my favorite bands, but they are just gurtting to listen to after a break up.

 

will superchunk ever put out another album?

 

sometimes modern classical music is the only thing that'll get the job done.

 

is superchunk ever gonna put out anything again, or are they just gonna twiddle around with their label?
