Thank you.

Dr. Dog is a band where I've never even listened to an album of theirs in its entirety, but whenever I hear a song of theirs, I always like it.  Any suggestions where to start?

Undoubtedly, Fate. Perfect album from start to finish. Once you're hooked, work back into their earlier catalog (a little more lofi/psychedelic/less polished) and then check out Shame, Shame.

Listening to the M. Doughty/Soul Coughing remix album.

I thought they were new versions of old songs and not remixes of the old versions.

Maybe they are. What's the difference.

Same song, arranged differently.

A new version is a new version.  He is essentially making covers of Soul Coughing songs.

If they were remixes, he would have used the original source tracks from Soul Coughing and turned them into new tracks. 

If he would have remastered the tracks, he would have taken the original source tracks and then would have mixed/mastered them differently. 

You cant call something a remix if you just arrange a song differently, and do not use any of the original elements. 

And that is what i think the difference is.

(not that wiki is the last word but it mentions this in the entry for remix)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remix

Remixes should not be confused with edits, which usually involve shortening a final stereo master for marketing or broadcasting purposes. Another distinction should be made between a remix and a cover. A remix song recombines audio pieces from a recording to create an altered version of the song. A cover is a recording of a song that was previously recorded by someone else.

The Internet "Feel Good" dropped this week. Cannot stop listening. Amazing, amazing production.



Bummed I missed them. Their first album was great too.

I think he's covering his own songs.

Concur.

Today's soundtrack has been the new one from  Emily Barker & The Red Clay Halo - Dear River

Really wish she had a US record deal as $30 is steep for the deluxe CD set from the UK.

I first was exposed to her because they used a song of theirs for the theme music for Wallender. 

And have been listening to the heck out of this single the a-side with Frank Turner and b-side the song used for the TV show.

Simply gorgeous stuff…

edit: oh good per her facebook she is working on a US deal, I for one will snap up her catalog.

The new Mazzy Star is so so so good. I cannot wait for their show in November.

Has the new D-Plan leaked? I'm so far outta the loop I wouldn't know where to look.

Founding member of Sonic Youth - Lee Ranaldo's 'Last Night On Earth'

Don't know why it took me so long, but I just got the new Black Lips album. So good. Can't wait to see them again!

a few albums i got to pick up for free on CD. i don't always know a lot of about rock music but when i get some good albums, i usually keep them around to spin them a particular rotation.

I think he's talking about the one that came out nearly three years ago.

Oh, shit. It did come out in 2011. Where the hell have I been!? I must have gotten their name confused with someone else. Fun album though! Don't know why I never got this… I thought the 200 Thousand was the one that came out years ago…….I mean….more…years ago.
