I'm on a Stars kick this week...
Maybe that's your memoir title: "Kicking the Stars".OK, I know that's not what you said, but I liked it anyway.
I haven't decided on a memoir title yet, Pi. I'm not that pithy, I'm afraid. I blame years of academic writing.
It looks like they've already got that wireless electricity going for them. ;)
"Down Colorful Hill" - Red House PaintersAnthemic, big, hurt, sad.
I LOVE the Kinks. They were my first rock band.
"Down by the River" - Neil Young
That's a GREAT song, Jackie. I can never listen to studio Neil, though... I love the energy of the live albums with Crazy Horse.
I should give those a listen sometime, Sarah Pi. I just have the Decade set on CD, which may have a couple of live tracks, but is mostly studio.
Exactly! And it's such a long cool jam, too, about murder.
This one doesn't even really explain why he shot her. Unusual.Jackie -- try the version on Live at the Fillmore East.
And Down By the River isn't on Weld, but the second disc has Cortez the Killer, Powderfinger, Rockin' in the Free World, AND a blistering version of Like A Hurricane. I think I shall listen to it shortly. (OK, you can't listen to it shortly...it's fourteen minutes long)
You can listen to it longingly, then, Sarah Pi. ;)
I shall long for them to tour together again.I love Neil's theory of guitar solos, in which you grab the neck of the guitar and throw yourself into a note. If that one doesn't sound good with what the rest of the band is playing, try playing a half note up or down. Once you find one you like, stick with it for a while.
Maybe you can apply that to your ukulele solos, Jackie.
That's how I sing along, anyways. :)
"Close to the Edit" - Art of Noise. Dum, dum, dum, de dum dum dum dum DUM!!!
"Wayfaring Stranger" - Jack White"Thirteen Men" - Ann Margret
"Me and My Gin" - Bessie Smith
"Chicken Payback" - The Bees
And an album that I just got from Explosions in the Sky that I love- Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever.
Jack White does a version of Wayfaring Stranger??? Must find that. I love that song in all permutations.
That could be interesting.....Sarah, his version was on the Cold Mountain soundtrack because he sang it in the movie. He has a couple of songs on there that are good.
Steve Albini is fucking awesome. I listened to a lot of Big Black, Rapeman, Shellac,Jesus Lizard, et al in 11th grade.
Angel Dust is cool. When we bought new studio monitors we tested them with Angel Dust, The Afghan Whigs' 1965, and XTC's "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead".

The Drive-By Truckers levitation-inducing cover of Tom Petty's "Rebels" over and over again, in my office...
The new Polvo record is so fucking awesome.
Chopin's Piano Sonata #1, in C minor.
I love Chopin—though I grew tired of endlessly practicing the études/nocturnes in my youth. I still find them to be glacially beautiful... even if my degraded finger dexterity has rendered them impossible.
I find Chopin to be excellent background music, but yes, a lot of his pieces are not particularly warm.

I love Chopin in the morning at the office.

I tried to write you, but it seems you aren't accepting anything from me at this time.
They're each hard as hell to play. KD you naughty boy. lol
I prefer Beethoven, both for listening to and to play. Not that I've played any Chopin, but I have played a few of Beethoven's bagatelles, and they're fun.
Mozart for me, thanks. Or Vivaldi. And I can't play either.
Chopin will make you chew your arm off while learning his music. 3rd Sonata nearly killed me.

How old do I feel, I remember all of those.
My dad used to say "Judas Priest!" instead of swearing. I don't think it had anything to do with the band, though.
KD this is a What are You Listening to Currently, thread. Post your booty off!
The cover art is great KD, keep posting.
Santogold, Keane, Page France, last Friday's MCB 110 lecture
I had a little Smiths marathon the other night. Its nice to refresh yourself with their amazing work.
That last cover, KD, looks like a drawering of Linda Blair. :)
