Ahh, I like that you threw a little Mingus a few days ago. The greatest jazz bassist ever in my opinion. There's always guys who are faster or what have you like Jaco Pastorius who is also sick! But Mingus has a special place in my heart.
|
|
Hop On Pop
|
1/16/2008 10:12:20 AM
And on top of that, he was also a top-notch composer, and that's what I love about him.

1/16/2008 10:17:08 AM
in addition to being one of, if not the, finest jazz bassists (i'll throw in a vote for charnett moffet- ornette's bass player for a time), mingus was also one of th greatest jazz/third stream composers ever! not a bad cv...
listening to "better git hit in yo' soul!" was/is a religious experience for me.
(grabs mingus vinyl. leans back. closes eyes. ecstatic.)

Hop On Pop

1/17/2008 10:15:44 AM
Here's one I added late: a Thin Lizzy mix a friend made for me.
But, allow me to illuminate:
Bongwater was the project of Shimmydisc Records owner Kramer, with actress/chantuse/general freak Ann Magnusson on vocals.
Jason Isbell was a member of Drive-By Truckers, until he went solo just last year. Look for the video of him performing "Dress Blues" live over at YouTube, if you want to be completely devestated by a song. Incredible.
Trakan is a labelmate of mine. There are samples over at the MP3 page at www.spadekittyrecords.com, if you're curious.
So, I hope that this illuminates. And that you dig further and find something that you love.

This band is my best friend James Avallone and his marine buddy Isaac singing and playing acoustic stuck on a boat in the middle of the mediteranean sea back in 1998. They have a myspace page but I thought I'd make him a page here too.

Hi, Toddski...I listened to Mr. Ison's album a couple times all the way through last week...as for the other 99% of your listening I may have never heard ANY of it (lol)...Dick Aven was treating me to a bunch of stuff in an effort to expand my horizons as we cruised the coast over the weekend - I somehow suspect if you were to open up your iPod in a similar effort it would be just as eclectic...

Well, nothing really new today. I didn't get to the whole stack yesterday.
But I did bring ONE new album with me today:
Brinsley Schwarz - Cruel To Be Kind (Live @ the BBC)
It's Nick Lowe and Ian Gomm's early-70's band and, damn am I sad that I never got to see them live. They are just... amazing. This live document also contains an early take on the title track, which became a hit for Nick in 1979.
For those of you unfamiliar with anything I mentioned above: imagine if The Band were from the UK.

People ask me. "What kind of music do you listen to?"

It's not snobbery. I'm just being truthful. I listen to the stuff that i like. Whatever.
Last night I crashed at my parents' house because of a storm that was expected (that never came... until this morning!). So I have no discs with me. Today, I listen to nothing but my iTunes (on random) and

Heya Todd,
I know it is a few posts up but I noticed Hoodoo Gurus in your listening repertoire.
I was at the St. Kilda festival in Melbourne last weekend and saw the Hoodoo's live on the beach stage. It's been YEARS since I last saw them and they are still just as good as they have ever been.
I had a chat to their sound engineer before the show too and we chatted about studio recording and mastering. He'd be a cool guy to sit next to on a plane flight. :-)

Have the voices in yer cranium and the ringing in your aural cavities gone away? Or is it a permanent condition...?
I tried my hand at a couple of Nilsson toonz when I was learning some new gear. In my experience, a Universal Audio LA-610 channel strip with an AKG C414 goes a long way to capturing that kind of tone.
Man, could that dude SING.

The ringing in my ears has subsided a bit now that I'm one more day removed from that Pogues show.
And yeah, he could sing like a mo-fo. Something like a 4-octive range, I think?
He could also write and had a great sense of humour (which is what won me over, completely).

Oh, and he also happened to have written what is -- arguably -- the greatest rock n' roll song of all-time ("Ju Ju Man").

That compilation is all that I've heard so far.
But a new comp. was just released on the same label, just a week or so ago. I'll probably pick that up at some point, too.
And, if you haven't, you really need to hear "Ju Ju Man". It's ripe for a Hugo version. Although Brinsley Schwarz' version sounds pretty definitave to me.
Still... best. Rock n' roll song. Ever.

I'm not familiar with "Ju Ju Man" - pretty strong words, Amigo, "best ever" - wow.

planting rice all day"...."Maybe she will do a little spying, with micro-cameras
hidden in her hair."....HA HA HA....I simply love his wacky, melodic vocal runs....
almost like a children's fairy-tale....and i still laugh my ass off and sing along

Hmm. Stiff Competition. Not a bad band name.
Or is it?

A little update: The Jam tour (Foxton and Buckler, sans Weller) was last year. The project from Eno and Byrne will result in a tour, but only a David Byrne tour. I still can't wait to hear the album, though. David Byrne's been referring to it as "electric gospel". Sounds intriquing.

Not yet.
I am an absentminded type, though and I will get around to it. I promise.
Got a link to anything that I can hear? His website or anything?

He's playing bass on a few of the tunes on "Before and After Science". He was with the band BrandX, back in the '80's, and I understand he has a new CD out (although I have to be honest and say that I haven't heard much of his non-Eno work). Here's his personal webpage: http://www.percyjones.net/
Sorry for the confusing comment.

Wow... I am truly impressed... not just the amazing diversity of flavor and styles, but that you have time to sit through even one whole album in a day.
Some tasty treats in your catalog... cool!

I'm going to have to dig out my Bee Gees Greatest Hits (vol.1), again. Their 'disco' stuff holds no appeal for me, but I still enjoy "Words", "To Love Somebody", and "New York Mining Disaster 1941" (among others). Thanks for reminding me of their really good stuff.
