Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - BFJ (329th) + SKIP J-LO (324/325th)

[rass]

I would obviously defer to Howard’s wisdom, but Lou Reed was not the sum of Velvet Underground. John Cale was a significant part of it as well.

So was Sterling Morrison, jerk.

Truth. He’d be in the role of George Harrison bridging Lennon & McCartney. Of course, that means Andy Warhol is freakin Yoko.

(For the record: I rank the Beatles as Lennon/Harrison (1 and 1a), McCartney and insert drummer here).

That’s probably unfair to Paul if you’re talking overall contribution to the group and not tabulating a list of best songs or something.

Go go go go

I'll be up... Frozen Four game for MI starts around 930

Is BU still in it? Guess I gotta start rooting.

FUNNY YOU SHOULD ASK!*

MI had to go up to a regional pod that had them play Northeastern in the first game and then BU after they upset Cornell in their first game.. In Worcester** MA, about, I dunno 10 minutes from both campuses.

* I know you didn't ask.
** pronounced Woostah.

[A_B]

Ok. We’ll get em next year.

Jellyfish - Spilt Milk

This album may as well have been a followup to XTC's Skylarking. Just a power-pop gem lush with dense vocal harmonies and a quasi-psychedelic musical style that screams Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) and Jeff Lynne (ELO). A joyously complex LP. And to this date, an all time favorite.

*This is one of those bands that would've been fucking huge if bands like Nirvana hadn't caused a paradigm shift to what was and was not playable on pre-internet radio.

[Nonlinear FC]

Fine, you wanna go jellyfish, Imma keep that shit going.

I'm a it preoccupied, so I won't have a writeup for this one. This album just grabbed me and it still stands up.

The Eels - Beautiful Freek



If you haven't dipped your toes... this is a pretty fantastic album.

ETA - Between Frozen Four periods... I'm not saying this band was groundbreaking, but they just seemed to be onto something very different at the time. Really a great sound they created.

More like an hour+ IF you get good traffic, which you won't, and it's more like Wusstah. (The Centrum in Wusstah is great place for a game or a concert, BTW.)

I saw a monster truck rally there. Those fumes in an enclosed building do not make for a good time.

[Rush2112]

I saw a (few) Phish show(s) there. Those fumes in an enclosed building do make for a good time.

I was at a couple in Nov 97. Caught the 55 minute Runaway Jim that opened the 2nd set.

You may have seen me, I was the tall guy with long hair in the tie-dye.

What I remember most about that weekend (beyond the stellar music played) was the fact that multiple police officers just drove slowly through the parking garage blaring their sirens. Fun stuff.

[Rush2112]

Wusstah is a conduit of the heavier varieties of drugs entering NE, I'm guessing they don't care much about the weed and N02.

[mister d]

You know you're up?

I thought that was Lynn the city of sin, never come out, the way you came in?

[BSF21]

I'll never forgive myself for not seeing this band live. Great sound and this one is a regular front to back for me.

BSF's always getting stuck on a long vinyl weekend selects:



Anberlin - Never Take Friendship Personal

[Giff]

This will make mister d feel good. All weekend long while I was away from computer on a road trip, I kept thinking how I couldn't believe I forgot about Sturgill and I'll just end this and take him (different album). Then I log-in and see this.

I'm sticking with Whiskeytown.

[mister d]

If you don't have a new pick by 04-10-18, 1:45 PM EST, you get Coldplay. I am NOT fucking around here.

[Giff]

Plea deal:

[mister d]

I accept this.

[P.D.X.]

booooo

[mister d]

I like Benson. I like peace.

Truly the double platinum sombrero of commissionering

[DaveInSeattle]

Superchunk, 'What A Time To Be Alive'



Could have gone with any of their albums, but, like Spoon, its great to see a band that's been around forever still putting out great stuff.

[sancarlos]

I've heard some of that on the radio. Sounds good.

[sancarlos]

Contender for ugliest band members. But, they were a fun party group.

You son of a bitch. I knew I was going to wait too long on some of who I have left. Great album.

[mister d]

I've got two here but this is more my mood this AM. Don't fuck this up for me, Chedda ...

[mister d]

We're coming up on a huge test here. I'm away Thursday-Sunday, can you all handle this without someone holding your hand with "title updates" and "a running spreadsheet"?

[Ryan]

No

[govmentchedda]

I've got two here but this is more my mood this AM. Don't fuck this up for me, Chedda ...

Looking at my list, and considering your taste, I think you're safe.

Come to think of it, you might be fucked.
