keeping the associates theme going - party fears two was just played on BBC6 - sounded great amongst the indie landfill that gets played between 7am and 9am. Huey Morgan(from FLC) has a show at 10am - he's actually a pretty cool broadcaster and has great taste for old and new music as you would expect. | ||

Tift Merritt - Mixed Tapes You, how did you get so wise? I take the advice I find in your eyes. Me, I’ve been waiting outside Most of my life, Oh like a rare b-side. I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers. Analog to show we’re lovers, And here under the jacket folds inside, I’ve taped my heart for you to find. To find the perfect way, Which album to say, I la la love you. With this plastic cassette, It’s not finished yet, It’s gonna tell you slowly. I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers. Strings and drawings show we’re lovers, When you’re driving around in the summertime, To hear again, just press rewind. Rewind, the world comes to an end, Turns over again, Another 1000 times. But me, I’ll be the same. No, I never change, Oh, like a rare B-side. I’ll be making you mixtapes with homemade covers. Analog to show we’re lovers, So much rock and roll love in a plastic case, Play it loudly, see my face. I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers, Mazzy Star, Donovan’s Colors, Just an audio love letter painted blue, I spent all day making for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgfO2hoyd 5c | ||

found a job - talking heads. includes one of the many great talking heads basslines. does anybody know if tina weymouth wrote her own parts, or simply just played them? | ||
| Jerry Clark Member Username: Jerry Post Number: 1055 Registered: 08-2004 |
For the most part Tina wrote the bass-lines for TH. You oughta read the Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa book. It tells of the tensions during the Remain In Light sessions. When Eno & Byrne were manipulating the sound purely for their own ends. They'd go in & wipe Tina's bass parts & redo them only for her to do the same to theirs. The marriage came to an end as a result. Cypress Hill - Break 'Em Off Some | ||

Loving pauper - Gregory Isaacs Could've sworn this was a Bunny Wailer song, been a long time since I heard it. So simple, so lovely. Great music can require so little. | ||
| skulldisco Member Username: Skulldisco Post Number: 924 Registered: 10-2008 |
stuart, its actually a dobby dobson song. gregory was a great songwriter, but was also a great interpreter of other peoples songs and this is a great example. there is more than one version of this track by gregory, in at least 3 different mixes. my favourite is the version on which the vocal totally dominates the mix in the midrange, and the quieter backing track chugs away in both channels thus preventing the song from being acapella. it really makes the song take on a life of its own, and shows that the artist was so confident in his vocal abilities that he felt he could get away with this | ||

Michael, I LOVE Departure Lounge! I was a bit disappointed with Keegan's solo album and wish he'd put the group back together again. Btw, it's entirely due to the GoBees that I became aware of him. He opened for them in 2003 in Paris. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 2001 Registered: 01-2005 |
Randy, Yes, they were great. I saw them in November of 1999 when they were touring with Robyn Hitchcock plus being his back-up band (along with former Soft Boys/Katrina and The Waves guitarist Kimberley Rew). Tim signed my copy of Out Of Here that I had bought at the merch booth. I should pick up there other albums. Austin McLean (who posts here once in a while) was also at the show. Tim toured with Robyn a few years ago on Robyn's I Often Dream Of Trains celebration tour. Here is a cut from the live Yep Roc DVD/CD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBdNpOOJA vc&feature=related | ||

Alex Chilton, Ray Davies & The 88 - Till the End of Day. From a new Kinks covers album. Surely one of the last ever songs Alex Chilton recorded. What a spooky choice. It's great. | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 2504 Registered: 03-2005 |
Thank you Michael. That was marvelous. I have "I Often Dream of Trains" but the songs tend to blur together for me when I listen to the album, probably partly because of the minimal arrangements. This presentation of just one of them is quite effective. | ||
| Michael Bachman Member Username: Michael_bachman Post Number: 2002 Registered: 01-2005 |
Randy, IODOT was the first of Robyn's minimal arranged, reflective albums with green colored (album) covers. Six years later he recorded Eye after taking a break from the Egyptians. Robyn's career was at a crossroads with the failure of The Soft Boys in 1981 and his subsequent stint with Captain Sensible, and he came up with Trains in 1984 after deciding he didn't want to give up being a professional musician. | ||

... and 'out for the count' from orange juice. same reason as mentioned above. but indeed this is worth to listen again. therefore, folks, pull out your vinyl or cd's and listen to it. | ||

Very nice shirt indeed...played that record today, and also Zen Arcade I have a memory of seeing the Huskers live circa "Flip Your Wig" and going with a co-worker a few years younger than I, who unfortunately was of that ilk who preferred to stand at the back, arms folded and impassive. The music wasn't going to get to them, maaaaaan... The show was great, with both Bob and Grant seeming in very high spirits indeed. | ||
