Cruising through Walthamstow listening to this

Missed these first time around  AFI v No Doubt ,  the most excellent Tony Kanal on bass.

Menahan Street Band 'Make The Road By Walking' is a great instrumental funk/soul album from 2008 that sounds like it could soundtrack a 1970's New York cop series.

Oh that's excellent! Great music to work to. And to walk to -  if you're prepared to do that 1970' slight swagger!

Proper old-school Music; none of this modern EDM stuff, or ('gags'...) 'slap'. The World needs more like it.

I don't normally like Periphery but that sounds great. Evil sounding bass

'The Future' by the incredible Leonard Cohen. Brilliant stuff.

 

 

I was at that concert, when he performed "Thousand Kisses Deep" as a poem, the place was silent, 25000 people hanging one the words of one old bastard in a suit... Utterly unforgettable.

I'm listening to the Alfredo Rodriguez trio, saw them on a FB add of all places and have been really enjoying it. Very chilled jazz with some great bass playing. The slightly odd thing about this is my normal muscial norm is Tool...

After spending musch of the last 15 years or so listening to mainly funky/jazzy stuff with a smattering of British indie in the last few weeks I've gone back to my youth and down a real 'American alternative scene of the 80s and early 90s' rabbit hole.

 

After hugely enjoying rediscovering the Butthole Surfers I've moved on to my favourite band of the era/genre - Dinosaur Jr.

 

Somewhat controversially I've decided that my favourite stuff of theirs is from after the 'classsic' line up split and they essentially be came a Jay Mascis solo project.

 

Exhibit A

 

 

I think Mascis may be my favourite guitarist of all time, one of the very few who I can listen to an extended solo from with genuine enjoyment rather than getting bored and wishing it would end.

Well it's mother's day so Danzig is on the gramophone this morning.

There are several highly rated albums  (by the NME etc anyway) that went over my head when I heard them around the time they were released. I'm giving them another chance to see if age has mellowed by opinion of them

 

Loveless by My Bloody Valentine - nope it's no better, still sounds like an anaemic version of Psychocandy 

The Queen is Dead by The Smiths - the title track and Bigmouth are ok but the other tracks are pretty unremarkable.

The Bends by Radiohead - Just is ok but the rest? erm...no

Funeral by Arcade Fire - I tried, honest but I still don't get their appeal

[diskwave]

Bit of ole school disco...then some Bach cause Im getting back into playing cello...badly..haha

You’ve lost me with the sheets but as a band they could push the boundaries a bit. I would like the ability to make the weird noises as well as they could through. Live:

Right now I´m in a phase (frequently) listening to old Free songs- I´m a mover, walk in my shadow, Mr Big. Love those great Tunes, absolutely timeless.

Japanese bass and drums experimental rock duo:

 

Kind of sounds like an odd mixture of Primus, Mr. Bungle (particularly their "Disco Volante" album) and Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band (particularly their "Trout Mask Replica" album), but then with the only instrumentation beside vocals being bass and drums.

I listened to Breakfast In America yesterday.  Genuinely surprised that I knew most of the tracks.  Today I'm dipping into Supertramp.

 

Crime Of The Century currently spinning!

 I’ve seen Tatsuya performing a solo version of Ruins a couple of times. That was pretty intense.
