Am appreciative of the diversity of musical tastes of various board members. Have been introduced to some really good stuff I'd never heard before.

How 'bout we keep things going here? Any genre, any form.

I'll post a few of one of my favorite bands ever. Saw 'em in concert several years ago here in NYC.

Back to the future:





They're who I've been listening to for the last few weeks. So deeply satisfying.

[Derek Raymond]

A Faulty Chromosome- Jackie-O:


Fire on Fire (former Cerberus Shoal members)- Hangman:


Polvo- Lazy Comet (my Ultimate favorite guitarists, hands down most creative with 6 strings and still pumping out great albums)


Radical Face- Glory (my favorite new-ish band)

I've been listening to a lot of Lyle Lovett lately. Should pick up tickets to see him live again when he hits the Mid Atlantic circuit in January.

[Stinkydub]

Frances England and Tricycle


and now for something completely different...

Grinderman (with front man Nick Cave and wildman Warren Ellis) - saw them in Atlanta last month. Below is a recording from "Later with Jools Holland'

You can't go wrong with Seu Jorge.

Just discovered a section on youtube that has isolated instrument tracks. Check these out. F'ing AWESOME. I could listen to this for hours. These would make great winter trainer workout tracks.

Led Zep's John Bonham on Fool in the Rain:



Rush's Neil Peart on Tom Sawyer:

Whoa.

[Brandon White]

You can't go wrong with Seu Jorge.

I've seen him 3 times in Miami and once in Brazil. The last concert in Miami was with an entirely new band and had a "mangue beat" feel to it (look up the term - it's a Northeastern (Brazil) sound created by Chico Science and Nacao Zumbi). Of course - two of the members of the band are also in Nacao Zumbi - and it was a nice treat. All the Brazilians were there expecting a little samba and typical Seu Jorge music and left a little disappointed though. Either way - he's a good performer.

[maunahaole]

The newest Seu Jorge album is backed by the band Almaz. It is a different sound than his other stuff, a little more restrained and cooler. It is still good, but not like the other stuff.

a few masters for Saturday early morning...









James Booker might have been an alien. I think he has some extra fingers on the palmar side of his left hand. Really? Bass runs with his pinky while he chords with other three fingers and then the melody with right hand? And to top it off he has a silver glitter star on his left eye patch. Fck Paul Stanley. Poser.

[Too Tall]

Thanks for the Roxy Music and James Booker. On my ride today.

[steve garro]

Thanks to DWF for this one! The whole album is great. also on the new tunes list around here: Grupo Fantasma "El Existensial" Wrinkle Neck Mules "Let the Lead Fly" and the new Lucero. Gonna go see Lucero on 1-19 here in Flag. - Garro.

New tunes for the price-conscious.

New live Yeasayer album, "Live at Ancienne Ballroom," is available for download here. Name your own price. Yes, "free" is an option.
YEASAYER

I've given it several listens already. I wholeheartedly endorse this band.

Also, MIA's newest mix tape, "Vicki Leekx" (get it?) is downloadable for free here.
ViCKi LEEKX

Got it, but haven't had a chance to listen to it all the way through yet. Sounds like... well, MIA.

Happy new year. Enjoy.

[acotts]

Im really digging that Radical Face recco. Thank VSalon.

[jamesand]

New Mogwai out in a month or so. I aim to see them in Boston. Awesome title: 'Hardcore will never die, but you will'

Michael Hurley 60s Folkways recording



More Hurley



Ray Price with killer twin fiddles and sweat pedal steal and harmonies.



Lyrical genius Roger Fuckin Miller



Charlie Rich is a god - yeah I know he is gone but gods don't die.

[bikinchris]

I love all kinds of music, so my choices are pretty eclectic.

Blackfoot is a great riding music. The lead singer has one lung. You can't tell. Southern Rock and roll from a group of Blackfoot indians.

Muddy Waters plays with all of his heart.

Robert Johnson was rumored to have sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads. Eric Clapton has called Johnson "the most important blues singer that ever lived." When Keith Richards first heard a recording from Johnson, He said "who is the guy playing along with him?"

Il cimento dell'armonia e dell'invenzione (The Contest between Harmony and Invention) The recording by Monica hugget and the Raglan players is done with period instruments (meaning catgut strings) and is not a bright sound like modern strings have. The first four of the essays are known as "The Four Seasons"
