  1. Rush!

    CCR

    Excellent band. I'd say everything from Bayou Country-Pendulum is worth it. My favorite songs are Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Commotion, Looking Out My Back Door, & Run Through the Jungle.
  2. I have yet to hear it but I'ma listen to it soon & see for myself what all the fuss is about.
  3. I agree with most of the OP's top ten. I never see any discussion of Out of the Cradle--that's one of my top favorites from VT--I think it's a tremendously triumphant song & an excellent closer. Also___Digital Man, The Body Electric, Emotion Detector, Open Secrets (!!!!!), Double Agent. VT is under-appreciated as a whole I think: Ceiling Unlimited (!!!!!), Peaceable Kingdom, Stars Look Down, title track (!!!!!), Nocturne (Possibly my favorite off the album), & Freeze too.
  4. 'Make a Jazz Noise Here' is an excellent document of his '88 tour. His bands are always tight but on this outing they are Incredibly so, especially the brass players.

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Apr 5 2011, 03:39 PM) QUOTE (Rush! @ Apr 5 2011, 12:05 AM) When I began playing drums I didn't wear earplugs but I soon realized what kind of damage it was having on my ears and how much my ears hurt after I'd finish. Same goes for a concert--the ringing in your ears may go away after a while but the damage has been done, and it's permanent. So now for the past 7 years or so that I've played drums I've worn earplugs every time I practice. And I always wear them for any shows I go to. I can only imagine how mad I'd become if I suffered from tinnitus. Earplugs are GOOD!!! If you play musical instruments, and even more so, play in a band, then ear plugs are paramount. Just ask Lars Ulrich from Metallica, who suffers from severe tinnitus that he started experiencing when he was playing in Metallica in his early 20s. He would awaken in the middle of the night to go turn off the TV, but it was in fact his ringing that woke him up.. the TV was off. Doesnt sound like a very fun thing to live with. But apparently, we are SOFTIES. Indeed they are. Too bad for Ulrich, that sounds like a horrible thing to deal with every day & night. And I'm ok with being a softie

  7. All of the songs listed are great--my ultimate pick would have to be Tears. It's so different-sounding from the rest of 2112 and it's a beautiful track.
  8. QUOTE (Oracle @ Mar 25 2011, 12:53 AM) Anyone who has not heard the spectacular music of Mogwai needs to add the albums Come On Die Young and Happy Songs for Happy People to their music library. Right now. I second this motion--except I'd substitute CoDY with the debut. I didn't realize how concise 'Octopus' by Gentle Giant is--what a fantastic album!!
  9. Happy Birthday Katie! Hope it's a real good one
  10. QUOTE (Good,bad,andrush @ Mar 22 2011, 12:40 PM) and in Vapor Trail (song) at around 2:31 (if i'm not mistaken) there is a noise that sounds like a car door opening, maybe a motorcycle noise? I definitely just heard this. Not sure what it is.....sounds like it could be another guitar layer.
  11. QUOTE (blackhawkrush @ Mar 8 2011, 11:07 PM) I did a lot of interviews with BM bands, working for a mag, back in the day. That was ages ago. I always liked their use of different instuments but I was more of a death metal guy back then. That's pretty awesome. Would you mind sharing some info about the bands you interviewed?
  12. Burzum is excellent...can't go wrong with anything by him... Well except for those keyboard-only albums he made while in prison. They're ok but mostly dull. Also enjoy the following: Bathory, Disssection, Emperor, Mayhem, and Ulver. Some newer groups have been emerging with a black metal-inspired sound such as Wolves in the Throne Room and Kayo Dot, but I haven't heard much from as of yet.
  13. Saw 'em in 2006 or 2007. Excellent show and they're still on fire performance-wise.
  14. QUOTE (invisible airwave @ Jan 26 2011, 05:55 PM) 2 Girls 1 Cup I consider myself able to handle a lot of 'disturbing' things...but this takes the cake. Most of my friends can get through it but I just...can't. Too heinous. Anyone who doesn't know what it is can look it up for themselves but I warn you...you will most likely be completely disgusted. Some even find it humorous...but not me.
  15. QUOTE (bigmoney2112 @ Jan 12 2011, 07:17 PM) I only have his newest album "drukqs" and it's great. I would get some more of his music, but I can't find any of it in stores. Drukqs is great but I think it's uneven...the 'computer' songs are my favorites. The prepared piano tracks are nice too, but there's some needless crap scattered throughout, IMO.

I love the guy's music. Nearly everything he's done has something good to offer. Lately I've been going back & listening to all of the albums he's made under the various aliases he's used, such as Bradley Strider, Caustic Window, etc. He also did an EP called 'Pac-Man' under the name Power Pill...every sound you hear on it except for the beats came from the Pac-Man game...how cool is that? Sounds like it wouldn't work but it does...with marvelous results. I think Radiohead owes him a huge debt. I like I Care Because You Do and Selected Ambient Works 85-92. I really like the track "Ptolemy" off of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 That they do...he was a big influence on their radical change around the time of Kid A... Both of those are excellent...my favorite from SAW 85-92 is "Heliosphan".

James Album'. Both are pretty accessible and good starting points.

  19. I just realized that my favorite section of music on the whole record is the drum solo from 1:54-2:06 in Sugar 'n Spikes. I might be partially biased since I'm a drummer but that little drum solo is one of the best things I've ever heard.
  20. Yeah I dig them...I mostly listen to the 1965-1970 period. I do enjoy their material before '65 but I don't listen to those albums or songs as much as Rubber Soul-Let It Be.

  23. I actually enjoyed around half the album on my first listen...which was about 2 or 3 years ago. His other work is also great... Although I listened to Unconditionally Guaranteed and Bluejeans & Moonbeams the other day...not impressed with those at all. Even the Captain himself rejects those two. I'd probably rank his work like this: 1. Trout Mask Replica 2. Lick My Decals Off, Baby 3. Ice Cream for Crow 4. Safe as Milk 5. Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) 6. Doc at the Radar Station 7. Strictly Personal 8. The Spotlight Kid 9. Clear Spot 10. Unconditionally Guaranteed 11. Bluejeans & Moonbeams
