What Are You Listening To? - GuitarManJack - 23-04-2013 Radiohead's "OK Computer" I know I am actually very late to the Radiohead party, but I discovered them a couple months ago and decided to give them some more listening, and man do I enjoy them. I don't really know how this rating system works, but I would give the album a score of 9/10 LINK REMOVED What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 23-04-2013 ![]() JEFF BUCKLEY "my sweetheart the drunk" cd,1998. this one was recorded just weeks prior to his unfortunate death in the Mississippi river in 1997... and i guess premature death elevated him to 'legend' status and bought him from 'cult' singer to the mainstream... i like this album of twenty one tracks(well,nineteen really as two of them have alternative versions on here)... throughout the listening process i couldnt help but think that had Cobain still been around he may have mellowed and sounding like this nowadays...its not grungy at all but it has a distinct Nirvana 'in their quieter moments' feel happening here... touches of White Stripes on "your flesh is so nice"...the final track is a cover of "satisfied mind", this recorded version was played at his funeral so i guess it has a bit of meaning there for real Buckley fans i do think buckley is a good artist and probably could have and would have improved had he still been alive...but to be called a legend because he died young...i think not! I LIKE THIS ALBUM worst track: demon john best track: everybody here wants you tracks: 1. the sky is a landfill ** 2. everybody here wants you *** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrMwgTc69y4 vevo video 3. opened once ** 4. nightmares by the sea ** 5. yard of blonde girls ** 6. witches rave ** 7. new years prayer * 8. morning theft ** 9. vancouver ** 10.you and i ** 11.nightmares by the sea(alt.version) ** 12.new years prayer(alt.version) ** 13.havent you heard ** 14.i know we could be so happy baby * 15.murder suicide meteor slave * 16.back in NYC ** 17.gunshot glitter ** 18.demon john * 19.your flesh is so nice ** 20.jewel box *** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhPNmvZzEVQ audio 21.satisfied mind ** 3s=2 2s=15 1s=4 rating: 1.9 What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 24-04-2013 ![]() VARIOUS ARTISTS "15 tracks in the key of neil" cd,2009 this is another cd hat was free with the UK music magazine "uncut"... they give a cd away free with the magazine every month...some i get, most i dont, only getting those i may have interest in.. title of this one is "long may you run:15 tracks in the key of neil"...cant quite recall why they called it that really, maybe the magazine had a Neil Young special that month, anyway, these fifteen tracks,apart from the Gaslight Anthem one were totally unknown to me,as were the artists on it.. i guess they got the Neil thing from the fact that most of these are quite folky and acoustic... as with these sorts of cds, if i like half the tracks i think ive done well that time round...and this one is a good one... take a listen to some tracks and you may discover an artist you never heard before also... worst track: Adela Diane "every path" best track: AA Bondy "american hearts" tracks: 1. AA Bondy "american hearts" ** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJZSL22ve2o audio 2. The Gaslight Anthem "the '59 sound" ** 3. Todd Snider "fortunate son" ** 4. Bowerbirds "dark Horse" * 5. Damien Jurado "best dress" ** 6. Death Vessel "bruno's torso" ** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gRaHTHbyGY audio 7. Port O'Brien "fisherman's son" ** 8. Adela Diane "every path" * 9. Hush Arbors "sand" * 10.J.Tillerman "no occasion" * 11.Mark Olsen & Gary Louris "saturday morning on the street" ** 12.The Acorn "glory" * 13.Neal Casal "chasing her ghost" ** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XP34BhBPIk audio 14.The Dodos "jodi" * 15.The Gourds "tighter" ** 3s=2 2s=7 1s=6 rating: 1.7 What Are You Listening To? - Music Head - 24-04-2013 from my library (vinyl) The bands fourth album, and the first to hit the chart here. The last album with the groups original lineup, as guitarist Bob Stinson was given the boot. Much critical acclaim came with this one with a perfect score from allmusic. Chart placement of #183 did not match that. Guest spot from Alex Chilton (Box Tops, Big Star) on Left Of The Dial. First tv appearance for the band, on SNL from which they were banned after cursing on the show. A badge of honor no doubt. Three love tracks for me on this with two bombs. No mention of any singles which has to be an oversight. The move to a major label had to include singles. I LIKE THIS ALBUM Worst Track - Lay It Down Clown Best Track - Here Comes A Regular 1) Hold My Life ** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZNU9WxhBR4 2) I'll Buy ** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXHog-WqAP8 3) Kiss Me On The Bus ** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDH6W-bU8wo 4) Dose Of Thunder * audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11RzsOXQZPw 5) Waitress In The Sky ** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i99aCBWl6A4 6) Swingin Party *** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prmpo9sbSrI 7) Bastards Of Young *** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fl9KQ1Mub6Q 8) Lay It Down Clown * audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bExTnf5zbN0 9) Left Of The Dial ** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SpyIopsguA 10) Little Mascara ** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXBVRNcwvds 11) Here Comes A Regular *** audio - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oya9HZ85XAM Grade - 2.1 allmusic - 3.0 What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 24-04-2013 just did a bit of research and "bastards of young" and "kiss me on the bus" were released as singles but as far as i can ascertain they never made the charts on either US,UK or here in Australia.... the above info comes from Wikipedia, the band's discography page What Are You Listening To? - Music Head - 24-04-2013 CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:just did a bit of research and "bastards of young" and "kiss me on the bus" were released as singles but as far as i can ascertain they never made the charts on either US,UK or here in Australia.... duh! and I use wiki thanks What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 26-04-2013 STUFJAN STEVENS - ILLINOIS (ILLINOISE) (2005) I have been meaning to listen to Stufjan and finally I have! Brilliant musician and brilliant music IMHO! Off the album, here's CHICAGO: [video]http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=stufjan+stevens+chicago&oq=st ufjan+stevens+chicago&gs_l=youtube.3...32486.42701 .0.43051.25.8.1.0.0.0.1442.4416.5-2j1j2.5.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.3V74eksq_Ho[/video] What Are You Listening To? - Music Head - 26-04-2013 ^^ got his last album and was really disappointed What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 30-04-2013 ![]() ELVIS COSTELLO "when i was cruel" cd,2002. another very good Elvis album.... probably his most Elvis sounding album since the early 1980s IMO.... lots of his trademark Attractions sounds here, but modernised for the zero decade... as usual his lyrics are superb, IMO as a lyricist he is second only to Bob Dylan,both artists make you sit back and think and both also have little twists in their songs, and both write lines that could have two or more meanings to them...depending on how you(the listener) wants to take them... not his best album,but certainly not his worst neither, a good solid collection of tracks from a guy into his fourth decade int he music business(70s,80s,90s,00s) I LIKE THIS ALBUM worst track: soul for hire best track: alibi tracks: 1. 45 ** 2. spooky girlfriend ** 3. tear off yourown head ** 4. when i was cruel #2 ** 5. soul for hire ** 6. 15 petals ** 7. tart *** 8. dust 2....*** 9. dissolve *** 10.alibi *** http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1kqc7V6Vn8 audio 11.....dust ** 12.daddy cani turn this? ** 13.my little blue window ** 14.episode blonde *** 15.radio silence ** 3s=5 2s=10 1s=0 rating: 2.2 What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 10-05-2013 WINTER PEOPLE "a year at sea" sorry guys...no cover art available for this one...nor is there any info available on the "www"... one of my end of year purchases from 2012... debut set from these guys from Sydney,Australia... i hear bits of The National,Arcade Fire and Band Of Horses here... a good album, nothing i love but more to the point nothing i dislike neither...just a consistant album of good tracks... apparently there have been three singles lifted off this one(according to my mate Tem)... so overall, a score of 2.0 for this one...now lets see if there are any links available on youtube... "two's company" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8UfeD8OlB4 audio "gallons" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knKzV7jCV-c audio next up, i delve back into my vinyls for a few spins...first up will be Burl Ives i think... |
