The Now Playing Thread

[marnold]

I've been going through the other two "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" albums. Volume 3 is probably my favorite. I like Shawn Lane's cover of "All Along the Watchtower" . . . until the extended pointless wankfest at the end. And this is from someone who tends to think that pointless wankfests are Good Things.

Shriekback were one of the most darkly perverse bands to come out of the 80s. I still love their stuff, though it does tend to draw odd looks if you've got one of their songs lodged in your head and you end up singing it to yourself at work all day like I just did.

Priests and cannibals!
Prehistoric animals!
Everybody happy as the dead come home!
Big black Nemesis!
Parthenogenesis!
No one move a muscle as the dead come home!

There's something strangely compelling and intriguing about those lyrics. I gotta try and see if I can find any of their music.

Here's the song I quoted: "Nemesis," probably their biggest hit.

Re: "Her Strut"

It took me many years to realize that the "but" in the refrain is in fact a synonym for "however," if you get my drift.

it's a double album of two different sessions with the amazing drummer michael shrieve anchoring two trios. one disc is shrieve with lane on guitar and hellborg on bass, the other shrieve with frisell on guitar and wayne horvitz on organ.

i am currently listening to just the second half. i love the first part as well, but not quite like the frisell/horvitz half.

I think this one's been mentioned here before, but here it is anyway:

Played it about 10 times since I got it last week. New addition to my list of favourite albums. :AOK


Been listening to this one a lot as well:

The reissue of Chomp by Pylon, who were simply one of the greatest bands that ever existed, was released this past weekend. It's in heavy rotation and will be for quite some time, I think.

Thanks, man that album rocks. Wish they wouldn't let Matt Freeman sing, or at least mix him differently when he does, though.

And I've always wished they'd stop dropping f-bombs, etc., in the lyrics, although truth be told it's only 3 or 4 songs on this one.

Do you like this album? I just haven't been able to get into it, and I'm not sure why. Maybe it was one of those got-it-at-the-wrong-point-in-life things.

Yes I do. It is my first Wilco album, and it is clicking with me right now. Krashteban, I love your Rancid choice too. I am going to have to break my Rancid disc out. I have only ". . . and Out Come the Wolves." :rockon
