Hot Butter - Popcorn

Y'see, I randomly downloaded an album called Best of Moog: Electronic Pop Hits from the 60's and 70's... and the first song was "Popcorn". It was so ridiculous, that my ICP-ish silly rap-style rapper pals (and I, as their onstage dancer and pseudo-manager) decided right on the spot that we're gonna use it in the middle of their next show for a breather/robo-dance breakdown.

Yet another reason to thank the lord for the wonders of Moog, the monolith of analog synth mastery and other neato things.

But on a more serious note, my true digs include: the new Peeping Tom... and even though I only listened to a couple songs each so far, the new David Gilmour and [i]Southern Rock Opera[/i], my first taste of Drive-By Truckers.

They're neat, all these folks mentioned in this post. Including me, I was mentioned and I'm pretty neat.

Okay, now that I'm giving the Moog album a more thorough listen right now, I just found out that "Midnight Cowboy" by Faith No More is actually a cover of one of these cheesy "electronic pop from the 60's and 70's" songs.

Plus there's some easy-to-recognize songs that were used in recent commercials or are cliche 70's cheesy songs and such.

I can dig it... Dig it like Dig Dug, except without any falling rocks to worry about digging under.

Silver Jews - [I]Bright Flight[/I]

Great stuff. Bit boring in comparison to other work, but still so good.

Don't thank the Lord, thank Robert Moog.

Ooh, just listened to the 2 new Bronx songs (from their website. These sound really good. About time they decided to release something again. The world needs punk.

Same dude.

Really old guy, turned water into wine, built analog synths?

Yeah, same dude.

And in spirit of the holiday, I might as well add that he once arose from the grave as a zombie to feast on human brains... all in black and white with some creepy background music played on one of his newfangled "theramins".

Okay the Dog Fashion Disco album [i]Adultery[/i] is definitely awesome. Most of the songs are just Bungle/SOAD-like circus metal, but they also threw in "Desert Grave" which is just a straight-up country song. Sort of like how they put "Pogo The Clown" in their last album (a lounge song without any other frills).

The Bronx are totally sweet. I'll have to listen to those songs.

Avenue Q - The Internet is for Porn

I love that song.

I think this is the first time I've listened to this since around the time it was released. At that time, I'd thought this to be such a challenging album, although now this isn't so. Not quite as good as their first two releases, but a truly unique and interesting album.[/quote]Wow. Do you really think so?

I've really been digging Talk Talk and Mono recently. I listened to Illinois a few times and a couple of the better songs outside of listening to the album the whole way through. I think it's starting to grow on me.

GZA - [I]Liquid Swords[/I]
Immortal Technique - [I]Revolutionary Vol. 2[/I]

Been listening to Portishead today, only really for te first time, but I love it already.

Mekons - [I]The Mekons Rock N' Roll[/I] and [I]Curse Of The Mekons[/I]

Both are very solid; TMRNR grows on me every time I give it a listen. Nice light cow-punkish stuff.

I'm diggin' on various songs selected from:

Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Barafundle
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
The Monkees - Greatest Hits
Tom Waits - Bone Machine and Rain Dogs
Calexico - Garden Ruin

I'm giving the new Pearl Jam a listen now. It sounds more energetic than Binaural or Riot Act so far, which is what I was hoping for :D

Oh wow I didn't realise it had leaked.

The quality on some tracks is a bit questionable but perfectly listenable. Still can't understand a damn word Vedder is saying though.

All very good records. You know who else is good? Lyrics Born. Listened to 2 LB albums on repeat (all night) last night. Danced my arse off. Great, great hip hop.

Tapes n Tapes-the loon.

Yeah I've only recently started to actually hear their influence in other artists; which shows me actually how good a band they were.

[I]Grippe[/I] is a good album isn't Nacho. I might listen to it later.
