Tony Conrad with Faust - [I]Outside the Dream Syndicate[/I]

I just realized yesterday that by opening the first page of this thread you can find out what I was interested in over 3 years ago.

What was your old name?

Zappa

okay, so I just looked back in this thread, looks like in the begining of 2005 I was diggin:

Apocalyptica
EITS
Kings of Convenience
People Under the Stairs
Dandy Warhols
Radiohead
Pink Floyd
Funkadelic
Sage Francis

everyone put so much more effort into their posts back then :(

yeah such as [url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8989006&postcount=7010[/url]

Amy Winehouse is sweet.

The Flys and Jorge Ben.

My first post in this thread was like three paragraphs long.

Crumb, hook me up with some good beach music similar to Jorge Ben. I'm leaving for the Cayman Islands and I need some good stuff.

Zappa- Roxy and Elsewhere

Village of the Sun,Enchida's Arf (Of You), and Don't You Ever Wash that Thing, are killer.

If you want a good compilation of Brazilian tropicalia music (including Gilberto Gil and Jorge Ben) try looking for Various Artists - Beleza Tropical v. 1

to ATM

Awesome, I'll search for it.

that's possibly his best 70's album, except for "Joe's Garage."

If you haven't got Jorge Ben's Tabua de Esmeralda get that first. I'd also suggest some Nara Leão, although she's not much like Jorge's funkier stuff. Coisas do Mundo is good album if you can find that one, her 1964 s/t is really nice too. Very laid back. The s/t is very much laid back, the other is a little more diverse. You can get Tabua de Esmeralda and Nara Leão's s/t and other stuff (lots I haven't heard) here:

[url]http://umquetenha.blogspot.com/search/label/Nara%20Le%C3%A3o[/url]

Quality of the downloads might be meh, though.

If you want something a little more energetic or psychedelic, try Marcos Valle's Vento Sul. I downloaded here: [url]http://brnuggets.blogspot.com/search?q=vento+sul[/url] but I dunno if that link still works. I'd probably listen to Tom Ze's Estudando o Samba if I was on a beach right now. If you like the Nara Leão, it might be worth picking up some João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Chega de Saudade, O Amor, o Sorriso e a Flor and Wave are all pretty sweet. His album with Elis Regina is pretty good too, if you're looking for laid back stuff. That first blog has most of those albums.

Actually, before you download anything get this:

Thanks muchly!

[QUOTE=Zebra;14739852]that's possibly his best 70's album, except for "Joe's Garage."[/QUOTE]

nah it's nowhere near as good as others, especially as the last song is really long and annoying

it does have some great stuff though

Flaming Lips - [I]Zaireeka[/I]
The Damned - [I]Damned, Damned, Damned[/I]

I also dl'd Pussy Galore - [I]Dial 'M' for Motherfu[I]c[/I]ker[/I]. Not really sure what I think of it yet though.

[QUOTE=Zebra;14739852]that's possibly his best 70's album, except for "Joe's Garage."[/QUOTE]

No way.

Weasels Ripped My Flesh, Zoot Allures and The Grand Wazoo are my favourite 70s Zappa records.

i've been diggin...

Polyphonic Spree
Spleen vs ideal
Cassino

girlfriend is playing Sim City as we listen to Deerhunter's [i]Cryptograms[/i]. This double LP with the full-length alongside the EP is really cool.

[QUOTE=Eliminator;14740037]boris n things[/QUOTE]
I remember Crumb having this "Skub" avatar as well ... what's it from?

[i]Fluorescent Grey[/i] >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> [i]Cryptograms[/i]

My favorite 70's Zappa albums are Roxy and Elsewhere, The Granda Wazoo, and Joe's Garage.

i learned how to play "Loretta's Scars" by Pavement today. i know it's one of Nacho's favorite songs by the band, so i thought i would mention it ;)

also, diggin: Sun Kil Moon- Duk Koo Kim. it's now one of my favorite songs ever, cant thank Nacho enough for shilling this band

Polar Bear Club
Xiu Xiu
Dag Nasty

Shakira - [I]Laundry Service[/I]
Circle Takes the Square - [I]As the Roots Undo[/I]

Hows the CTTS?

Sonic Youth - [I]Rather Ripped[/I]
Sonic Youth - [I]Sonic Nurse[/I]
Sonic Youth - [I]Murray Street[/I]

Going through their main albums backwards.

[QUOTE]Flaming Lips - Zaireeka[/QUOTE]
How is that? I love The Flaming Lips but I've never found the idea of having to play the thing on four separate cd players particularly appealing.
