Stay With Me has not been without controversy for Smith – in January it was reported that Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne had been awarded songwriting credits due to the track’s similarities with Petty’s 1989 hit I Won’t Back Down. As a result, the song is credited not just to Smith and his co-writers James Napier and William Phillips but also Petty and Lynne.

How bout they reverse the credit and award?

^ I love AB. The best is when dude is all "I feel like speaking Puerto Rican right now!" HAHA!

Diabolic is also pretty rad. Here is his cut about bullying:

Pile's [em]Magic Isn't Real[/em] is probably in my top 3 albums - if not #1. I'm pretty ticked off I'll miss their Miami concert because I'm out of the country.

They have a new album out that at first listen to a few songs, I wasn't crazy about. You can never capture the feeling of an album with just a couple of pre-released songs. As an album, it's quickly growing on me. Due out on 3/3 or something like that.

Har Mar Superstar is one helluva showman. Saw him play a show, just him, a drummer and prerecorded tracks. I was initially bummed about the lack of live instrumentation. Didn't take long to change my mind. Dude is a hoot.


Pet Sounds has to be one of my fave albums of all time. Brian Wilson deserves all the praise heaped on him.

I can't believe you can write arrangements like that and then fit them into the "pocket symphony" like he did. There were no ProTools for demoing arrangements, just mixing down live with 8 tracks. At the age of 23. Blows my mind every time I think about it. The Pet Sounds box set is worth it if you're a Beach Boy's nerd.

That's fantastic! Do you have a similar deconstruction of God Only Knows (perhaps the most gorgeous pop song ever)?

Agreed! Such a great tune. Legend has it that Brian wrote it in seven minutes.

People have uploaded pretty much the entire box set to youtube.

Read through this Fact Mag list, I realized how much I've missed out on. http://www.factmag.com/2015/02/25/th...s-of-all-time/

Speaking of naked vocal tracks, if you haven't yet, check out Freddy Mercury/David Bowie "Under Pressure." Gives me chills every time.

Lately it's been a mix of Kool Keith, Metallica, Tool and Die Antwoord.

I've been listening to the new Modest Mouse album, and I can't seem to listen to anything else.



But this morning there was an article in the Times about Alabama Shakes, and while I don't usually like most of what the Times talks about in re: music, this seems to rock.

[davids]

I saw Alabama Shakes at the Newport Folk Festival a few years ago. They - and especially Brittany Howard - burned the place down. ...figuratively, course. It's made of stone...

Last night, it was the Band. These songs, they're perfect:

It's this one or Patti Smith who does the best cover of Pale Blue Eyes.
