Music Shit / Nick Cave: For Your Consideration

« on: October 27, 2014, 09:37:28 AM »

I seem to recall the general consensus around here regarding Nick Cave is that he's NPR rock now. Maybe so, but this is pretty intense.

Upcoming Shows/Tours/Events / CMJ

What's good and where ? Too busy to look at those fucking lists too closely. I saw Hank Wood was playing somewhere. Protomartyr and OBN IIIs as well. What am I missing?

Who cares, though, really...

Music Shit / Swans

« on: March 18, 2014, 08:38:14 AM »

Someone school me on Swans. I've heard them, I know them a bit, and I'm relatively familiar with the different phases of the band and its sound. But I've also found the discography daunting as far as trying to buy individual recordings and put together a decent, representative chunk of their stuff. I think I'm ready now.

Non-Music Shit / Movies on YouTube

« on: January 31, 2014, 08:50:47 AM »

Can anyone recommend any good full-length movies (music docs, weird obscure stuff, Joe Versus the Volcano, whatever) available on YouTube? I always hear of stuff and then forget what it was and never watch it.

Hi guys,

I'm playing records in Carroll Gardens tonight at Abilene, Court Street at 3rd place.

Bill Murray was there last month, seriously. Ask Harry, Bill offered to punch him.

I was a little worried at first, but it really looks like they nailed it!

Music Shit / The Boys "Kamikaze"

« on: May 15, 2013, 08:04:45 AM »

So from what I can tell, after doing a minimal amount of research admittedly, there are at least three distinct versions of this song: an LP version, a single version, and a completely different take with acoustic guitars up front in the mix. Anybody know the story on this? Anybody care?

I think the acoustic version was the B-side to a single with an Arthur Alexander cover as the A-side.

Any info would be appreciated. And if anybody has the acoustic version on wax and wants to sell it to me. Let me know.

Pittsburgh might very well have more record stores than NYC at this point.

Music Shit / School me on Julian Cope

« on: September 14, 2012, 10:18:16 AM »

He's an interesting dude with good (if overly generous) opinions and tastes, but I know little to nothing about him as an artist. The one Teardrop Explodes album I have, Wilder, mostly just sits on my shelf. And the little I've heard of his solo stuff hasn't really moved me. That said, I remain curious.
