A few quickies about stuff I've been listening to:
- Wilco - The Whole Love. A few good songs, a few clunkers. Not as interesting as Sky Blue Sky or anything prior.
- Feist - Metals. Played it through a few times, haven't heard anything great, heard a few things that grate.
- Pixies - Bossonova. Managed to avoid this one, when it was relevant. But, I'm seeing them tomorrow night, so I thought I should give it a listen. A few good songs, a lot of stuff that just doesn't quite get there.
- Tuurd - I Wish My Wife Was This Dirty. A heavy, sludgy, bass (? detuned guitar?) and drums thing, with low grumbly vocals and a really meaty bass sound. I'm biased, because I know these guys, but I like it.
- Sebadoh - Bakesale. Also missed this when it was relevant. Don't really care for it now.
Y'all got anything new?
Not “new” exactly, but what I was listening to all day on repeat yesterday was this short RH mix: http://www.box.net/shared/0mc4qreizv7kps77ujck
1. All I wanna do is fall in love
2. Groovin on an inner plane
3. Arms of love
4. Birds in Perspex
The first three are all songs that Mountain Station has tried covering, with at least #3 being a keeper and probably #1 or #2 as well.
Other than that I’ve primarily been listening to my music on shuffle…
I’ve really been meaning to pick up some Feist ever since Bill put “Mushaboom” into heavy rotation on Radio Paradise, but I just can’t get round to it.
i like her last album a lot better than the new one.
but this is the best: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ9WiuJPnNA
Here are a couple of fun things to listen to — Old Joe by Tim O’Brian (on cello banjo!), and Old & In The Way live in concert.
that Time O’Brian thing is way cool
