What's playing on the stereo? - Page 33

Yep. The only lineup change they've ever had was replacing bassist Muzz Skillings with Doug Wimbush...that was after 1991's Biscuits EP.

That guitarist is just amazing... what's his name agin? It's been 10 years or so... last time I thought about Living Color the band was when "In Living Color" was a TV series hit and they had the beef with the stolen logo.

elSicomoro · 10-12-2003, 07:02 PM

Vernon Reid...he is just fucking awesome. I was so blown away when they came out with Vivid. I was like, "Holy shit! Those guys are black...and they are rocking the fuck out!"

The new album is not bad. It's not groundbreaking like their previous releases, but it's a good return for them.

New Order--Get Ready

Blur--Think Tank

Someone clued me in to a group called Dakota Moon. Fantastic vocals!

elSicomoro · 10-19-2003, 12:12 AM

Staind--14 Shades of Grey

Blur--The Great Escape

George Gershwin--Rhapsody in Blue (as performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra)

elSicomoro · 10-25-2003, 03:15 AM

Blur--Parklife: Blur deserved way more attention than Oasis did here in the States in the mid-90s.

Stevie Wonder--At the Close of a Century: 70-song, 3 CD greatest hits box set. I really should own it.

NWA--Straight Outta Compton: What a mind-blowing experience for a middle-class white boy from St. Louis in 1989.

The Love Below (Andre's disc) on the new OutKast CD: It's like Barry White meets Rick James meets Musiq meets standard Andre goofiness from OutKast's 4 previous offerings. Goddamn...it's fucking funny as shit...and great. Big Boi's disc (Speakerboxxx) is good too. Actually, it's better than I thought it would be--he didn't overguest it like a lot of hip-hop artists do these days. But Andre's is way better.

Interesting to note who's playing what--BET and black radio are playing Big Boi's "The Way You Move," while modern rock radio is rolling Andre's "Hey Ya!" I'm not surprised though...I don't think a lot of black folks are going to really dig Andre's disc, while whites and blacks will equally dig Big Boi's.

Beck - Odelay
The man is a genius, and I never get tired of this one.

Emerson, Lake and Palmer - Trilogy
Copeland's "Hoedown" just fucking slays me, every time.

Johnny Cash - American IV - The Man Comes Around
I know I've raved about this over and over, but damn...what a piece of work this is. As a side note, the wife and I went to dinner last night at our town's best-known Greek restaurant, and the one man band guy they had there did a really decent job on "Hurt"...

Nat King Cole - Greatest Hits
Anyone see a pattern here? I love the oldies and goodies. NKC's voice is unparallelled in modern popular music. Adding to the absolute wonder of it all is the fact that lots of the stuff on this CD is recorded live in the studio, complete with the mis-starts and engineer's instructions over the studio feed. I really wish this guy would have lived longer and given us more music.

elSicomoro · 10-30-2003, 10:20 PM

Jesus...where to start?

Iggy Pop--Skull Ring: His new disc, featuring a mini-reunion of the Stooges. Not bad.

Ben Folds: I've always been a minor fan, but after listening to almost his entire catalog (solo and with the Five), goddamn...he's really good!

--Whatever and Ever Amen
--The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner
--Rockin the Suburbs
--Speed Graphic EP
--Sunny 16 EP

Miles Davis: Mostly stuff I don't have yet on CD.

--Doo-Bop
--In a Silent Way
--Love Songs 2
--Kind of Blue
--Miles Smiles
--Nefertiti
--The Man with the Horn
--Sorceror
--The Columbia Years: 1955-1985 (4 CD set)

Tony Bennett: One of the last great crooners left.

--Steppin' Out
--MTV Unplugged

Frank Sinatra

--Sinatra 80th: All The Best (2 CD set)
--Classic Sinatra
--Duets

Thicke--A Beautiful World

NWA--Niggaz4life

elSicomoro · 11-07-2003, 07:11 PM

CD Player in the Car (only place I really listen to music)

Bringing Out the Dead Soundtrack
Ministry - Psalm 69
Ministry - Spoon (I think that's the name of the album. I don't have the jewelbox, just the CD, which in fine ministry tradition is not labelled with the name)
Phish - Lawn Boy

I know there are two others on there, but I can't for the life of me remember what they are ...

That is one of my pet peeves. Doesn't everyone realize that most CD's will end up out of their boxes in various kinds of CD wallets. Leaving off the title and track information so you can have a pretty picture is the triumph of style over function. Since we already have a monolithic oligopoly running the music industry, can't they at least provide us with one small benefit and set some minimum requirement for labelling?

Anyway, to stay on topic. One of my favorite possesions was a set of 4 or 5 vinyl recordings of Die Kunst Der Fugue (The Art of Fugue) by Bach. Unfortunately, the basement got wet and the vinyl got mildewed. I was unable to find the exact same recording in vinly or CD. I ended up picking up the Canadian Brass version, but it was not the entire work. Also, hearing what I had originally listened to as an organ work done in brass was a little too exotic.

The Art of Fugue has been done in brass, keyboard (organ and piano), and strings. For all I know, there may be an electic or acoustic guitar version. I'm still looking to replace the organ version I lost.

Went for a drive and found out what the other two CDs are ...

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
Rusted Root (first album)

I've cycled through these three times now, time to change. I'll let you know what I pick next ...
