Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - NONLINEAR (299th)
Oh, this is still going on?
I can't say I was active in the DC Punk Scene, but I was kind of friends with the group of kids that WERE active in that scene. And this group was on the Mt. Rushmore of said scene.
And I can still rock out to Waiting Room on any given day.
Fugazi - 7 songs

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (300th!)
OK. I’m going to be the adult in the room and pick every musician’s favorite uncle’s best work:
Low key, laid back and sufficiently melted into the scenery.
This is the album I’ll reach for when I’m pouring myself a glass of single malt whiskey.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - ENOCHROOT (300th!)
Really want toss Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs out there, just to eff with rush (plus I love Bell Bottom Blues and there are some other good songs on there) but howard’s writings on Clapton don’t seem like a slam dunk for my case.
Sooooooooo I’ll go with a relatively recent release by a band whose more recent work I don’t like quite as much as their debut album. And I have two of those to choose from (and another band from the college years that I haven’t gotten around to revisiting for this excercise), but the rules say I need to choose one and...
Ok. I’ll go with The Head and the Heart’s self-titled debut album. Another beneficiary of me last syncing my dog walking ipod 5+ years ago.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - RUSH (298th)
I don't really have a big problem with Rush picking it, but it is every bit a Wilco album as much as a Billy Bragg album. As noted above, the most memorable song on the disc, California Stars, was sung by Tweedy. This statement is patently incorrect:
Not only Tweedy, but former Wilco guitarist Jay Bennett's fingerprints are identifiably all over that album.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - RUSH (298th)
Mermaid Avenue was the idea of Billy Bragg's after he was given some writings by Guthrie's daughter. He was the one that invited Wilco to join in the fun and add ideas to Guthrie's words. Tweedy didn't even want to do the album, Bennett was the one that was for it.sancarlos wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 6:58 pm I don't really have a big problem with Rush picking it, but it is every bit a Wilco album as much as a Billy Bragg album.

The most memorable songs to me are Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key and Ingrid Bergman. California Stars is for the lady drunk on chardonnay after she complained about the music during the second set.
Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Way over Yonder is great too, but I won't have you besmirch California Stars, ladies, drunkenness, chardonnay, or complaining.

I don't know that I can do this anymore. I'm 43 minutes into "Dopesmoker" and I no longer view music the same way. Up is left. Down is purple.
Ugh. give me a moment.

Re: Swamp Album Draft: Current Pick - PRUITT (304th)
Keeping with my desire to be as current as possible, here's a great album from 1984.
The last of three fantastic albums by Simple Minds. An album that has to be played loudly.
Also worth noting is that it was produced by Steve Lillywhite who in the 80s also produced great albums by the Pogues, U2, Peter Gabriel and XTC. Amazing.

Yeah, he's an iconic producer. Also in the 80s he produced an LP for the Talking Heads, Psychedelic Furs, Big Country, the Rolling Stones as well as Marshall Crenshaw. The 90s he did work for Morrissey, Phish (Billy Breathes), Guster, etc..Pruitt wrote: ↑Mon Apr 23, 2018 12:35 pm Keeping with my desire to be as current as possible, here's a great album from 1984.

Heading into this round ryan was the quickest Swamper in terms of minutes per pick (no doubt helped a bit by being at the turn). When this round ends he will have cracked the top 10 slowest.

Has Elvis been taken yet? I gotta pick him while I’m in TN. Album TBA.
And I also just realized that it’ll be the yuletide season at some point in Cabinville so give me whatever Kelly Clarkson’s Xmas album is. UNDERNEATH THE TREEEEEEEE.
Gatlinburg is weird af. I’m covered in mud. Bye.
