Musicman20 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I must admit I've been quite disappointed with Jools recently, not so much the actual show, just the bands. None of them have really made me want to go and listen to them. This past week, I wanted to catch up with what Kasabian are doing. I was impressed, and I'm glad they have a another new sound for this latest album. I've always liked how the instruments stick to their parts and they don't have a dominant guitarist. It's actually more like dominant bass! St. Vincent were brilliant. Quite odd, but brilliantly catchy at the same time. If you get chance, check it out. It's good to hear new music that inspires me to keep writing. 'Birth In Reverse' is the really catchy track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah I enjoyed St Vincent. Kasabian a bit less so. Didn't quite get the rolling down the stairs thing at the end though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 It's not often that absolutely nothing grabs me in an entire 'later' but they managed it this week sadly, fast forwarded through pretty much every act. Not been much in previous shows in this series either but one or two performers I've enjoyed. It's that sort of show which is why I haven't seen it 'live' for years, always record it.

Nice Musicman Albert Lee HH guitar as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 (edited) St Vincent, brilliant - not seen her/them before, loved it. The Tuesday night live version of Digital Witness was better than the Friday night version as well. Delightfully barmy. And the best synth bass I've heard in ages.

Mr Fretbuzz Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Loved Nathalie Merchant but disappointed she only got one song. No matter I bought her album on iTunes :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yep, I'm in for the Roundhouse gig as well. I listened to the StV/David Byrne album when it came out and it didn't do anything for me. Gave it another listen last week, still nothing. the new StV album just keeps getting better though. Odd, given I'm a huge Talking Heads fan. Curiously, the same happened with the recent-ish David Byrne/Brian Eno album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Funnily enough, I normally fast forward through abut 80% of the show, this week I only FFwded through the bloke with his guitar and that tedious 10000 Maniacs woman thingummy..

HowieBass Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 This is my favourite track off St Vincent's latest album; I really like her guitar playing/effects http://youtu.be/A5ZM1a2zhkw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Really enjoyed the Eno/Hyde tracks. To my mind shades of "Here Come The Warm Jets" mixed with Freur. For me, Eno is always more interesting when he's actually composing and playing rather than just "producing". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
