What Are You Listening To Right Now?

<P>Olodum - <I>Pela Vida</I><P>2002 disc by drum-heavy ensemble from Bahia in northern Brazil. Occasionally veers too far into a sort of pop treacliness, but overall a solid album. Just bought it today . . .

<B>Byrne</B><P> <P><B>Slowly And Gloriously</B><BR>(An EP)<P>Can't get enough of the song "Sleeping Giant". Sounds a lot like a very refined Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. Can't say that the entire EP has that sound though. Oh, no, he has nothing whatsoever to do with David Byrne.

I think I'm in love with you. <P>You are the very first person on either side of the Atlantic whom I've run across who has ever heard of him! <P>As far as sounding like BRMC, it's only with the song "Sleeping Giant". Listen to it and you'll notice a very similiar BRMC sound without all the rocking, rough edges. <P>
<P>Also, Black Dice's debut LP, "Beaches and Canyons," is brilliant. I can't wait for the show.

They're not really my thing (small doses are okay), but I can easily see why she's into their somewhat geeky charm. I do have to give them credit for doing something a little bit different and being willing to do it in front of a room full of anxious, 15 year old Piebald fans.
