HA! That's right. I thought it was from a Smiths or Clash compilation for some reason.

What hotel? That looks the tiniest bit like Hotel Max in Seattle, which does use album art in some of the rooms I think.

[bballarl]

But these last two years haven't been the strongest for music...

Seriously?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Ah, ok. It is good to be organized every now and then I've found, I made a list of bands I've been meaning to get into that I never have, and when I have listener's block I just go to that list and put on one of their albums. It's been quite productive.

Yes, THIS. i currently have 4 different listening queues that I've set up. Stuff was just getting lost in my iTunes.

[ods..]

soooooooo gooooood. havn't listened to Drukqs in too long.

All of the Fugazi Live CDs are now out of print. These 30 shows, however, remain available to download and a much more extensive Fugazi Live download archive is currently in the works. Stay tuned...

Question: How do I zip a file so that I can upload it to mediafire? I've never done this before.

[bmack86]

mac or PC?

[TallGuyCM]

PC.

[bmack86]

Right click on whatever you want to zip (file, folder, whatevs). Go to Send to, in the drop down menu choose compressed (.zip) file. Super duper easy.

[TallGuyCM]

Thank you!

I really like the new Fleet Foxes video for "The Shrine/An Argument". Sean Pecknold does all right for himself.

CBC Radio 2 streams new Leonard Cohen track

This fall, Leonard Cohen confirmed he was finishing up his first new studio album since 2004 and, now, our friends over at CBC Radio 2 have scored a sneak peek: a single off the forthcoming release.

The track Show Me The Place is "a simple song and a sad song... but beautiful," says CBC Radio 2's Li Robbins.

Check out the song here. - http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/r2drive/201...e-listen-here/

During a trip to Spain in late October to receive the Prince of Asturias Prize in recognition of his songwriting and poetry, Canada's melancholy bard revealed that his new album -- Old Ideas -- was on the way.

Slated for release Jan. 31, 2012, it's being described as "the most overtly spiritual" of the 77-year-old singer-songwriter's albums and, listening to his hushed and familiar singing-speaking voice on Show Me The Place, we can't wait to hear the rest.

Fugazi joins Occupy Musicians.

[bmack86]

It ain't Fugazi without Joe Lally and Brendan Canty.

[chunk]

Im still trying to figure out exactly what it is.
An online tool for sound engineers, etc.
They also put on concerts. Maybe it will be Fugazi by then.

[bmack86]

I've given up holding out hope, but if they played something for occupy, I'd fly to wherever it happened.

[chunk]

Yes. I have never flown anywhere for a concert. I dont think its worth it. This one would be for sure.

[Sleepingrock]

So many things wrong with this lineup.

[bmack86]

Yeah, that's an odd one.

CBC Radio 2 streams new Leonard Cohen track

That was actually pretty great! Thanks for posting, eh.

[TallGuyCM]

Seriously?

Seriously.

[send me ctrpllrs]

As far as "indie" music I would probably agree, but I have heard no shortage of fantastic music on various lesser known labels.

[TallGuyCM]

Indie music was mainly what I was referring to. 2009 spoiled me forever.

[send me ctrpllrs]

Only things that really jump out to me are Joanna Newsom and Titus Andronicus. And then things ike Oneohtrix Point Never, Emeralds, Rene Hell, Grouper, Colin Stetson, etc.

[GolfWang]

Not my thing but I'm guessing some of you guys will be interested. This is the complete collection (as far as I know) of every Iannis Xenakis composition: http://rootstrata.com/rootblog/?p=6377

[getbetter]

I honestly think 2012 is going be even better for Live Music.Yet I think the worse part of 2012 will be that it is a pipe dream to think Talking heads will reunite for a Tour for us younger folk.I'm hoping before 2022 I'll see them.

Wow, thanks for this. Dude's a madman.

Pitchfork said something nice about Kid Rock. Maybe the world really is ending.

Aloe Blacc - "Shine Through"

I don't know how I stumbled on this one, but what a phenomenal album. Opener "Whole World" is some astral planes incantations, there's a stretch of mawkishness and standard come-on songs, and then Blacc settles in for a beautiful one-two punch of "Bailar" into "Nascimento," perfectly capturing the emotions of a one-night stand (or is it burgeoning romance?) The rest of the album is multilingual, snippets of laid back rap, pie-eyed optimism, jaunty synth lines, and jazzy, Spanish guitar and trumpet lines sprinkled generously throughout. I've been listening to it nonstop, and I highly recommend you devote the hour to it. It's worth your time
