Hey, they even included a deep cut Richard Pryor routine. I'm digging this. (Rock rock to the Planet Rock…don't stop)
Who knows? Maybe, you were kidnapped, tied up, taken away and held for ransom.

I just was going to post about this. Its amazing, and reason #29478292 why KEXP is the best radio station in the galaxy.mister d wrote:KEXP is doing one of their full day shows where they do the album plus the full songs of all the samples on it. Today is "3 Feet High & Rising".

Wow, Assembly Line from The Commodores first album. Lots of other stuff I haven't thought about in decades, this is pretty cool.

New Dinosaur Jr album is pretty good. Love the fact that they made a skateboarding video and none of them skate in it except for Mascis at the beginning.

Re: Getting the spins
So many great turns of phrase in those lyrics.

Re: Getting the spins
One of my favorite verses of all-time:
Is your brother on a church kick?
Seems like just a different kind of dope sick
Better off to teach a dog a card trick
Than try to have a point and make it clear

Re: Getting the spins
Wilco is playing five nights in a row in SF at the Fillmore right now. One of my friends is a super fan who is going to four of them, and offered me a ticket to any of them. But my parents are visiting the entire time so I had to demur.

Won't they be in bed by 7:30? Just sneak out and go. Don't be such an old ass pussy.

Ryley Walker has a new album. I dig it.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?
Re: Getting the spins
Ryley Walker is fucking great.

Wonderful album - very old school Studio One reggae feel.

Re: Getting the spins
I was thinking to myself that the chorus of Sting's new song sounds like the chorus of the "Good Luck Charlie" theme song. Then I realized no, and much worse, it sounds like the chorus of the "Austin and Ally" theme song.
I felt aswirl with warm secretions.

I'll let you decide where the high points are, but I'm loving the whole thing.
Radio, Under Luck Stars, and Sunset Motel are leaders in the clubhouse.

Re: Getting the spins
Not sure I get the hate for the new Bon Iver album. Who wants a band or artist to make the same album every time? I think it's just as haunting and beautiful as any of Vernon's other albums with Bon Iver or Volcano Choir.

Re: Getting the spins
True, though at least it's not being inaccessible for inaccessibility's sake like some bands might occasionally be guilty of. (*cough* Radiohead *cough*). I think the album is meant to be a study of loneliness and separation and some of the production is meant to convey that just as much as the lyrics.govmentchedda wrote:I don't get the hate, but I do agree that in many ways it is his least accessible.brian wrote:Not sure I get the hate for the new Bon Iver album.

Re: Getting the spins
There are artists I like where I'm pretty sure I would like the person behind the art (St. Vincent, Will Sheff) and there are artists I like where I probably don't want to know anything about the person (Father John Misty). For some reason, beyond the series of one-off annoyances, Vernon has always seemed to fall closer to the latter category. There's not a good reason like with FJM, but just something, like the minor comments are a window into major comments that haven't yet been made? I don't know. Same with Win Butler.govmentchedda wrote:Other than his recent (hypocritcal) Pepsi/Beyonce comments, why would he garner hate?mister d wrote:I think a lot of the hate is really for Vernon himself.

If it helps, he was very gracious when I met him at a Wilco ACL aftershow a few years ago.
