trainspotting soundtrack. (volume 1 -- volume 2 will be for tomorrow). one of the greatest compilations of songs ever made. not a bad moment on the whole disc.
incidentally, while listening to the first track ("lust for life") i was wondering how frankie would feel about that song -- out of curiosity i was watching the running time, and the intro is 1:13 before the first verse comes in.

How does the Kraft work?
Kraftwerk - Tour de France
I wouldn't have the nerve to use harmonies that simple, or analog synths that unprocessed...or that much vocoder. Or lines that corny, or rhymes that dumb. But somehow, it all works brilliantly.

Joanna Newsom's 'Sprout and the Bean'. It's really cool - like a female Devendra Bernhart with a harp and a telephone vocal filter.
Does anyone know anything about her? I only know this song - there's an album ('The Milk-eyed Mender') but if it's all just girl'n'harp I am liable to get bored and be disappointed.
On the strength of this song, however, I can proudly say, Girl 'n' harp = the new boy 'n' guitar!

for what it's worth, there are quite a few (very good) heavy bands with that setup, including ruins, zeni geva, and lightning bolt. all well worth checking out.TheHipCola wrote:The world does NOT need a heavy version of Presidents of the USA. Same setup, drums and bass only, with the occasional bit of synthesizer. Lots heavier.

the velvet underground.
more specifically, the one with the banana on the cover.
man, that is an awesome album, i don't think i will ever get tired of listening to it. i mean all of the songs on it are good. but in particular, i think "heroin" is definitely one of the most perfect songs ever written.

Yes - Bridges and Balloons has been getting a lot of radio airplay here. It's the only song I've heard (also girl/harp) - but I like it - I'm keen to hear more.j$ wrote:Joanna Newsom's 'Sprout and the Bean'.

Call me a public service announcement, but here's an MP4 of the video I found on her record label website. I can'na play it (can't be bothered to track down the codec) but i assume it works ....Caravan Ray wrote:Yes - Bridges and Balloons has been getting a lot of radio airplay here.

Blemish? It's pretty good... for my money, I like things with more instruments, but the quality is definitely there. Pretty dark. Not as catchy, obviously, as some old stuff.Bell Green wrote:Having a bit of a nostalgia trip at the moment and listening to David Sylvian - Tin Drum (Japan), Gone to Earth, Secrets of the Beehive. Still sound great. I'll have to check out his new one.
Have you heard the live Sylvian/Fripp Damage? It's great.

I was at the thrift store the other day, hoping to find an inexpensive 19" monitor for my mom's computer, and of course had to browse the used CDs... found two "treasures":
Bob Dorough I had heard of because he did a bunch of the arranging for the old "Spanky and Our Gang" albums, and I can still remember Blossom Dearie performing "Five Meanings of Love" (unfortunately, not on this CD, but I have S&OG's version on LP) on the Merv Griffin show sometime in the early 70s.
These are both just classic examples of mid-50s jazz stuff, the kinds of recordings they just don't make any more... heck, they don't even make FONTS like these anymore...

P.S. - if the images above stop working it means allmusic.com is more clever about hiding album artwork than I though...

Bob Dorough.. did he do some Schoolhouse Rock work? I'm thinking he was the guy who sang 'Lucky Seven Samson', but I'm not sure. I guess I could Google it...
EDIT: Yeah, just answered my own question. I love that guy. He's on a Xmas compilation I have called Hipster's Holiday, with Miles Davis, I think. The song is called Blue Xmas.
