Teenage Riot by Sonic Youth. (The whole Daydream Nation album is pretty fantastic, if you dig that lo-fi 80's college rock thing.)
It took a genius to dress his stage hands/roadies as JAWAS on that tour...Quote:

Got to get one of those jackets like the guitar player has.
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was one of the bands that came to TECH in the early 70's through the SGA. That was a very good concert.
The Verve - The Drugs Don't Work
I like the Ben Harper version, too.Quote:

Went to the International Accordion Festival here in San Antonio yesterday. I have not been a big accordion person in the past so I was somewhat skeptical. I had a blast! A couple of guys were simply amazing. A Spanish guy that was accompanied by a drummer and a guitar player playing Baroque style was really good. They had a very big guy named Ivan from Bulgaria that had fingers that flew across the keyboard. They had a group from NO called the Zydepunks that played some very interesting music. A group from Washington state played CW with an accordion in the mix. The most fun though was the crowd. There were people dancing and eating street food with gusto. I haven't seen the Riverwalk and La Vieta that lively since I have been here. The weather was a bit on the cool side but just right for an outdoor festival. If you are ever looking for a get away in October, I highly recommend this festival.

I thought I invented this concept in college. No lie, you can ask my roommate. The only difference is that I thought it could be used to create pop music formulas that would be used to create "new" optimized music that would sell tons of records to the masses.Quote:

BTW, his pick sweeping is really not that fast, and he is using a delay effect to make it sound faster. He clearly has the technical ability to be a professional guitarist - I don't and never will - but there are hundreds of recording guitarists who have greater technical ability, although he could definitely give the Edge a run for his money.
The problem with being a good technician is that people will always surpass you making you lose rank on a list of "fastest guitarists", but if you exercise good creativity and taste your contribution will be forever appreciated.
In short, there is just nothing memorable or inspiring about his sound or style.
I see. It's not that they are not talented, just that they are chasing the dollar rather than trying to invent something that sounds different?Quote:

I have a question, and I wasn't sure whether to post it in here or in Comments that Don't but I chose here:
How long can a song be crappy-but-catchy before it should be declared legitimately good? Because today I heard, no lie, the 5th person I know (including myself) say that the Lady Gaga Paparazii song is "horrible, but catchy". Its a pop song, so isn't that the point? Should I declare it "good"? I am concerned about myself.
Listen to me ... no matter what Guisslap tells you ...Quote:

Just because gaggles of teeny-boppers are singing along, doesnt mean you're cant enjoy it too.
If you like a song, you like it. Crank that $h!+ up, wiggle your rump, and hold your head high.

In preparation for their new release come Monday, I've been listening to a lot of Katatonia.
If you haven't heard of them, they are a heavy, melancholy, quasi-metal band with clean lyrics.

Muse's new album - the Resistance. Pretty cool.
Very old oldies;
Ghost Riders in the Sky by Riders in the Sky
Sleepwalk by Santo and Johny
Apparantly, Muse was recently on Italian TV and the TV show tried to make them lip sync their new song. Muse complied, but switched the band members around. The drummer played bass and sang. The lead singer and guitarist played the drums. The bassist played the guitar and keyboard. It looks like the people on the show never figured it out.Quote:

In my opinion, Pet Sounds stands out as one of the best musical works of the 20th Century.
(But does that make it the most deserving?) :icon_wink:

slightly more interesting than elevator music if you're only listening, but it's fun to watch.

It's pretty good, but I have to admit that the other day I noticed that despite all their cred, sometimes (not always) rich old white guys writing "soul music" kind of sounds like rich old white guys writing "soul music." Not necessarily bad, but not exactly "soul" either. It just sounds like a soulful guy singing a carefully crafted pop song - again, not a bad thing.

Stand out track is a collaboration with the Blind Boys of Alabama that has been used on a bunch of tv soundtracks I think (House? Maybe in The Wire?).

If you've ever read the book version of High Fidelity, then you will have heard of him. In the book, the couple's song is Got to Get You Off My Mind.
Probably his best known song is Cry to Me.
