Summer CD of 2003
September 04, 2003 at 04:08 PM UTC
#
Since bags asked this question deep in the what are you listening to now thread, I decided to unearth for all to add input to
To be honest I can't think of the CDs I would automatically associate with the summer of 2003. Its been a lot of compliations and greatest hits of late. Last year it was obvious with Ash "Free All Angels", Brendan Benson "Lapaco" and Myracle Brah "Bleeder". All still in heavy rotation.
This summer the "obvious" choice would be The High Strung, I went through a phase of really enjoying a Romantics Greatest Hits. The rest of the music "new" and old has been gotten via eMusic, Lemon Jelly "Lost Horizons" (I'm a sucker for electronic music with clever samples), and Pernice Brothers. The late entries to the list is The Knobs, The Carlsonics, and Helicopter Helicopter.
So anyone else go a list of Summer 2003 CDs?

I've been traveling most of the summer, so have been doing a lot of listening, and the discs dominating the porto-disc are:
Grandaddy "Sumday"
Clinic "Walking With Thee"
Mogwai "Happy Music"
Metallica "Kill'em All/Ride the Lightning" 2-for-1 pirated disc
Thievery Corporation "Richest Man in Babylon"

The Postal Service
and
Adam Green
were the two things I listened to most
Dandy Warhols coming in third.
Recently Jadetree enabled me with the 2001 beulah album. I think it has quickly become a favourite.
I am also enjoying Fruit bats Mouthfuls and Super Furry Animals Phantom power.
Much as I love all of these, I wouldnt trade them all in for the TYDE, once and twice.

Boo hoo. When we played that Beulah album for you guys, you gave it a thumbs down.
I was going to mention that same Beulah album. It was great to play on the ride to the beach, along with the Beach Boys. But it's so 2001. Looking forward to the new one, out on Tuesday.

Probably because we are scared of your music choices after you made us endure bluegrass that one time.
Still I realised I just messed up. I prefer when your heartstrings break to the coast is never clear, by quite a wide margin. I am still not sure about the coast is never clear.
As for Thirsty, well I believe I pestered him to go to the lambchop show. So it would be non-sensical for me to bash alt-country too much.

The Tyde, "Twice"
Fountains of Wayne, "Welcome Interstate Managers"
The High Strung
The Long Winters
Foo Fighters, One by One (do NOT give me any crap)
Idelwild, "The Remote Part"
And I'm just now getting into the Brendan Benson and Pernice Bros. I've recently purchased. Have the Carlsonics, but have yet to listen to it.
So Beulah, huh? I'm a sucker for buying something when they're coming into town soon…..

Again Jadetree turned me on to it. Throw it away? PAH! You would have trouble prising it from my cold dead hands.
Your other two album choices, on the other hand, were dire.

It really was. I love it when audiences are that quiet and the band so captivating. Its about time they toured again.

I love it when the audience member that was drunk and annoying during the show talks to the guitarist afterwards and compliments him on his bass skills.

Anton, I gave you the 1999 Beulah album, which I also like more than the 2001 album, although it is also good.
My favorite albums of the last few months -
Postal Service - Give Up
Dandy Warhols - Welcome to the Monkey House
Fruit Bats - Mouthfuls
Ted Leo - Hearts of Oak
Shearwater - Everybody Makes Mistakes
High Strung
Adam Green - Friends of Mine
