Do you have any Reactionaries songs other than the ones from corndogs.org?

(PS: this band is sorta like Minutemen but with the addition of a singer. He left and the rest is history :)).

Zappa 11-27-2005 08:42 PM

Just those tracks. I finally listened to them this weekend.

P.S. I love Neu! Their music is incredibly inspiring.

I wanna get more of their stuff. I actually think it's borderline brilliant. However, I only have their album [i]Music For Egon Schiele[/i]. But it's incredible how they can use music as a form of Expressionism like Schiele did with his paintings.

Hugh Laurie?


Monks - Black Monk Time

I've had this for about four months now, and I still don't know what to make of it. I know I like it quite a lot, but I can't decide whether it's a really excellent record, or just a good record and a nice little curio from the 60s. Listening to it over the past couple of days I think I've been leaning more towards the former, though.

Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party

A good album. As reviews seem to take pleasure in pointing out, the drums can get annoyingly repetitive. Also, I think even the most inexperienced listener could tell you it's an 80s record. I don't really see why the drums have to be a problem, when the focus is so very strongly on the vocals, lyrics and horns (and then other instruments), that you only really notice the almost constant boom-tish-boom-tish when you listen for it. But I like it anyway, maybe due to a strong affinity for Danny Elfman's songwriting/vocals/etc.

I saw Bob Dylan last night, which I dug and dug and dug again.

1 The Smiths 41
2 Sam Cooke 39

5 The Magic Numbers 23

10 Mötley Crüe 17

This is a bizarrely even week for me. Usually I listen to one artist 575675765 more than the rest put together.[/QUOTE]

I think you're slowly turning into me, or perhaps I'm turning into you. I did steal liking the Manic Street Preachers from you, so...

Mark Lanegan - [I]Bubblegum[/I]
PJ Harvey - [I]Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea[/I]

and some others that I can't seem to recall at the moment. But I definitely love Sleater-Kinney.

Ornery Cephalopod 11-28-2005 04:50 PM

albums:

Acid Bath - Paegen Terrorist Tactics
Elliot Smith - xo
Mastodon - Leviathan
Jesu - Heartache EP
Cult of Luna - The Beyond

songs:

Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant Massacre
Gil-Scott Heron - Whitey on the Moon

...and this song "four" by The Pink Mummies from myspace. They got the whole post-metal thing going. And it's going quite well. The production sucks, but hey, it's just a demo by an unknown band, so I can't complain about that too much.

Robert Crumb 11-28-2005 05:25 PM

Scott Walker. I finally found somwhere that had some of his stuff on import. What a fantastic voice.

Ohhh, ok then. I'll find it elsewhere I guess. I've just been listening to that one album for the last 6 months or so and I wanted to hear more of their stuff because that one album is so promising.
