Definitely do it, I know you'd love them!

Great, I missed The Sonics conversation. That dude had the most awesome, hilarious scream in all of rock and roll. It makes me want to laugh and destroy something at the same time. 'Strychnine' and 'Psycho' are two of my favorite songs ever.

I tried listening to that Rockin' Bones comp a while back but too many of the songs sounded the same - Rockabilly sound, same structure. Repeat.

Proposed: someone needs to create a mashup of Killer Mike's "Reagan" and Def Leppard's "Gods of War."

There is a 1970's film called "The Blank Generation" which documents the original CBGB bands made by Ivan Kral who was a guitar player for Iggy Pop. One of the bands, The Shirts, play two songs. The first is Laugh And Walk Away. I'm trying to remember what the second was but can't for the life of me and google isn't being any help. Anyone got an idea?

It doesn't say anything about "Laugh And Walk Away", but it says 'Song Performer ("Doe")' and their discography on Wikipedia says they have a song called "Poe." Not sure if that helped, but I had to see if I could break google's shitstreak.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

No, Poe isn't it. Thanks though. Damn this is killing me.

I'll have to give the New York Dolls another go-around, as they never clicked for me. It was the same with MC5 when I was younger though, and now I love them, so it may be time.

And Funhouse is perfection.

Definitely relisten to the Dolls. That first record is amazing and was a pretty important part of my musical education, in terms of bridging garage/punk/glam for me.

[tricorne]

I agree with Andrew.



Edit: ignore the gift horse's mouth that is this video - it's the only album version I could find.

[bmack86]

I might wait til I can grab the first album on vinyl. I know it's been repressed and I've seen it for cheap before. It'll happen.

[FEELS]

"Everyone's going to your house, to shoot up in yr room. Most of them are beautiful, but so obsessed with gloom... I didn't come here looking for no fix! Ima lookin' for a kiss!"

Some of the best lines on that album, yet alone the fucking music.

[VigoTheCarpathian]

Wayne County was doing something similar to the Dolls though I believe The Dolls were first

[FEELS]

Oo, haven't heard of them before. good stuff! and the Dolls looked pretty gnarly.. but that dude might take the cake.

[bballarl]

I was lucky enough to get the Disintegration Loops box set for Christmas, so I've been listening to that this morning. The end of the live recording is two minutes of complete silence from the audience and the performers. It is probably the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Just incredibly, monumentally poignant. It's phenomenal and unexpected when the audience bursts into applause afterwards. That might be my (belated) favorite moment of music released last year.

[bmack86]

We listened to some of that at a record club and I was highly impressed with the live perforrmance. Sounded excellent, but we didn't get all the way to the end. I was very jealous that iceyhotshot got the box, as it's gorgeously packaged.

[bballarl]

Make sure to listen to the whole thing if you get a chance. It is really, really poignant.

No one does it like John, but this is pretty interesting...cr****

Continuing on with the label thing, I compiled a Spotify playlist of all of the bands/albums available from the Elephant 6 collage on ?. Link here:

Uh, how you call your lover boy? TRASH!

[bmack86]

It's always fun to find songs that Beck wholesale ripped off for his own devices. Current culprit:





Doubly great that the F'Lips were the opener and backing band on the resultant Sea Change tour.

[getbetter]

GOD DAMN IT all this "the" Replacements ep talk is making me angry because I just want to hear there is going be a series of reunion shows

[swhite423]

re-listening to Give Up by The Postal Service, and honestly, the Owl City comparison is such bullshit. this album has such more substance then anything Owl City could've attempted to do. /rant.

[getbetter]

Im drinking coors light and listening to Orange Juice's You Can't Hide Your Lpce Forever...I don't know if I should be disgusted by myself or not .

[bmack86]

Orange Juice rules. Coors Light, hey, it gets the job done.

[getbetter]

I just discover Orange Juice after hearing one of guys from Cut/Copy confessing how much he loves them.

I think if you had been listening to Give Up for 7 years and then all of a sudden heard "fireflies" you would have a hard time not thinking Owl City sounded like it was heavily inspired by Postal Service.

Yeah, I guess that is true, but it seems like some people diminish what Postal Service did just because Owl City came along and sounded just like it.

Listen to The Glasgow School. It's a compilation of their early singles as well as the original version of their debut album, which they scrapped for a more polished (and inferior) retake. It's a super cool comp.

Those people are people whose opinions aren't worth two shits to begin with.
