 | dannyboy89 Dude, I listened to Mingus Ah Um, great stuff. The man was ahead of his time imo.
|
 | silentpotato finished my album; http://sudatsuga.bandcamp.com/album/blue-moon-saiyeed
|
 | clercqie I'm playing catching up tonight ;) I have Mingus Ah Um, Blues n Roots and Mingus Mingus Mingus in the pipeline
|
| clercqie I realise this is like a thousand years too late, but I'm finally listening to Black Saint And The Sinner Lady and it's godly!
|
 | Graveyard http://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Psi-Com/29546/ a very interesting post-punk band that came out in early 80's. Think a mixture between Joy Division and spiritualism
|
 | Steoandnoodles Hey, don't worry about it. =) A good place to start would be Historicity I think. Seriously good stuff!
|
| Steoandnoodles Yeah, Vijay Iyer, you know him then? =P Did you hear the new album?
|
 | SowingSeason its cool, a lot of people didn't. there's always next time!
|
| dannyboy89 Please do. You seem to really enjoy, maybe I'll like it too.
|
| SowingSeason would you mind writing a very brief (5-10 sentences) summary/soundoff for the song you chose for the sputnik playlist? i think the feature would look a lot better with writing. if so, please let me know and email it to sowingsputnik@gmail.com. thanks again for being a part of things!
|
| dannyboy89 What can you tell me about Charles Mingus??
|
 | TheVoiceAndTheSnake Sup dude, check out my new post-punk list if you ever get the chance http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=587637
|
| clercqie Yeah, I think it's really good, but only on occasion. Also, I still think the other two are better, so hence the 3.5. It may still grow on me, but we'll see :)
|
| clercqie There's a new Portico Quartet out, have you heard?
|
 | patrickfannon What's new, Dude? I bought Thelonious Monk's "Monk's Dream" on vinyl this week. It's brilliant. Still need to get into more Mingus, though.
|
 | nowhereman1991 Hey ned. It's me upstairs. Here's to my sparkling new music career!
|
 | aok so where do you look for rugs that really tie the room together?
|
 | BigHans no prob man I just jammed it today for the first time too, had only heard bits and pieces so far.
|
| BigHans seems like you like to up the punx. You should jam The Gun Club - Fire of Love. Rules hard.
|
 | BaselineOOO You're the greatest, will try to check them ALL. I don't know, people say jazz makes you feel cool but in my case it only makes me feel very uncomfortable and impatient.
|
| patrickfannon Listened to "13 Songs" a few times and settled on a 3.5. I definitely like what I hear and am interested in pursuing their discohraphy. Going to listen to them in chronological order, so I'll grab "Repeater" next. Any other recs for recent music?
|
| BigHans You should read my Big Lebowski soundtrack review.
|
| patrickfannon No worries, man. Thanks for the detailed recommendations. I'm going to pick up "The Argument" tonight and get going. I'll let you know what I think of it once I've given it a couple listens. Ever thus to deadbeats, Mr. Lebowski.
|
| patrickfannon Elliott Smith was a genius, plain and simple. He's my favorite artist of all time. Glad to find someone else who loves him. Also, "Minus Ah Um" is one of the best jazz albums ever recorded. I need to get into the rest of Mingus' catalogue. What do you recommend? Oh, and Fugazi recommendations would be greatly appeciated as well. I've been meaning to get into that band for ages. Shomer shabbos, Dude.
|
| patrickfannon We dig similar music and you are Mr. Lebows-- The Dude, man. I think we'd get along swell. Great taste, sir.
|
 | greg84 I suspect you haven't heard this either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yVuBIwQh-M
|
| greg84 Their latest, this year's Born Ugly is excellent. Start with this one.
|
| greg84 If you're into blues check out these guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToWRu367xJY I seem to be the only one on here who likes them.
|
| clercqie I'll add him to my list, I think I know someone who has all his stuff, so acquiring things shouldn't be too hard :)
|
 | iFghtffyrdmns hahaha yeah I think americanohno wrapped it up pretty well for you. see how it hits you, if you're really not keen on reviewing that you can let me know and I'll toss you something else and maybe even review mr carll myself
|
 | americanohno here's a link for that hayes carll album: http://www.filesonic.com/file/2792448345/Hayes_Carll_-_KMAG_YOYO_And_Other_American_Stories.rar don't be put off by the country label, as long as you like white guy with guitar sings about like music you'll dig the album. if ya don't like that kinna s*** well ya get to practice on a negative review :-)
|
| iFghtffyrdmns Your Album: Hayes Carll - Kmag Yoyo (uhhhh have fun)
|
| clercqie Ok, never mind my last post. After jamming to The Members this afternoon, inspiration came :p
|
 | NeutralThunder12 well kind of blue is simply the most important jazz album (it literally created modal jazz, it was done before everyone else tried it, and it also features some of the most important people in classic jazz music, so its really more about the cultural importance). But in no way is it more badass than A Tribute dude omg album slays face
|
| clercqie Woot! :) If you manage to get a decent review out of it, that would be awesome as well, 'cause I've tried to write one, but the words just don't come...
|
| clercqie Yeah, they're one of those British punk bands who made 1 album and then called it quits. It's one of my favorite punk albums though. And yeah, lot's of people have that opinion on dEUS' newer albums. I still think they're excellent, but it's an opinion few people share...
|
| clercqie (Those new dEUS ratings hurt...) But what I actually came to ask was: have you heard The Members? Seeing you're into 'punk with a twist', I think you may like them ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8gGPumATZA
|
| NeutralThunder12 look somebody who actually knows what the best jazz album ever is
|
 | Deviant. Two Fingers (Tobin side project), Funki Porcini, Xploding Plastix, Bonobo, Eskmo and Eskamon (Eskmo and Tobin)
|
| clercqie Dropping in to say that Portico Quartet is beyond amazing, so I have even more confidence in the awesomeness of your recs :)
|
 | GROK i am 420yeah666yeah69, and SWORD reborn
|
| clercqie Well yeah, I like it primarily as background music, but I'll start giving it more attentive listens :)
|
| clercqie Wow, you're going overkill ;-) They're all noted! And I'll indeed look for some box sets (as I also did with Billie Holliday actually)
|
| clercqie Thanks man! Will definitely check those out :D
|
| clercqie Hey Jeff! I see you have a great portion of Jazz on your pie chart. Would you mind giving me some recs? I'm looking for the loungy, relaxing type (Billie Holiday, Kind of Blue...). Thanks in advance! :)
|
 | Maniac! And Bad Brains for that matter. I think I might love you now.
|
| Maniac! I don't know you, but you listen to Fugazi, so I must like you.
|
 | sehguh I really haven't gotten into that band yet. I've got their newest and Soundtrack for the Blind downloaded, It will probably be easier listening once I start college next week and am up and about with an iPod.
|
| sehguh yes mate, I find it's really good background/chill music but when you want an interesting listen it's real great too
|
| sehguh report back to me once you've listened to Tortoise dude, tell me what you think!
|
 | Trebor17 Shouldn't your name be Jeffrey Lewbowski?
