What Are You Listening To?

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIPYAnjnh4M">This cover of Deacon Blues is one of the most painful covers I've heard.</a>
This particular tribute is kind of weird…first of all the mp3 streaming version has like 26 songs! The CD 17 and the LP 12

The heavyweights are Puscifer whose Holiday on the moon seems to be the reason this record sold any copies.. TOOL fans

Then Black Francis, Dandy Warhols, Monster Magnet and Flaming Lips

Most of the rest seem like minor musicians -obscure-or people I don’t like

Much like Lift (final L & R) the record company that put this out either went under or is so inconsequential that the record went out of print long ago

I believe Daniel Ash had something to do with this tribute…

At first listen it seems fairly underwhelming although I have only heard the LP

I can’t help but be annoyed the record has so few songs and four of them on the 45… my guess is they were so tight for $ they couldn’t even make it a two LP set

Been absolutely loving the spattering of Bonnie Prince Billy and Callahan tunes over the last few weeks/months. The Callahan tune with Ty Segall which I think is the most recent release is awesome as well.

cool artwork tho…


The Steve Earle tribute album to his son is quite nice.
^cool



Enjoying this a bit more


I really do my best listening in my 🚗



Arguably finest album released in 1995.

The final studio album by Soda Stereo is my favorite by them…

The original CD release sounds amazing but I had to buy the reissue on LP which is surely just a straight digital transfer so no better. Unfortunately my copy has a flaw on side D.

Soda’s 1996 MTV Unplugged record is getting reissued next month (well, first time issue on vinyl)… maybe best MTV Unplugged performance?

These guys weren’t fooling around.



My favorite so called Brit pop band although the term Brit pop in this case seems stupid..they are straight up rock

Brit pop to me is more like Suede or Pulp (the best Brit pop band) not these guys or Oasis

The sound is just not very good on the CD.. imho

I have a signed LP somewhere

Rewatching the Jimmy Eat World “livestream” for their most recent album Surviving.  I listen to both it and Integrity Blues all the time, lots of catchy tunage on both.  Looking forward to them doing Clarity and Futures in the coming weeks

One of my favorite albums although now I can’t help obsessing about which songs Yule is singing lead.. his voice is so similar to Lou Reed (and he is aping him too)… I no longer trust my ears!

I can’t believe the same band that cut VU and Nico did Loaded three years later.. it’s like the polar opposite
