Different kind of mood. Plowing through Keane and Deathcab For Cutie again.

When I go to a concert, I usually buy a CD unless I have them all to put a little money in the band's pockets. Last night I went to see Brian Jonestown Massacre at the Record Bar but all they had on sale was vinyl. It's kind of funny that it's old fashioned now to prefer CDs.

Mini review: The band was great. Their rhythm section is really tight. Band leader (and out of shape mother****er) Anton Newcombe decided to skip one song toward the end of their playlist that I was really looking forward to, but that was a minor quibble in an otherwise fantastic show.

Right now I'm listening to BJM's latest release, Pol Pot's Pleasure Penthouse on youtube.

I'm seeing this rager tonight. Big fan of Power Trip but mostly stoked to see Red Death set it off.

Omg. The video..: the music... the women... this song got me going right now...

Buy a turntable - this one is awesome, a limited edition, AND on sale for $200 off :

Remember when TicketMaster was the debil?

I just tried buying tickets for a hardcore matinee show from eTix and there was a $10 service fee on a $26 ticket...for an afternoon punk show. LOL it came to $72 for 2 tickets...for an afternoon punk show. Easy pass for me.

GET OFF MY STOOP!!1

I got 3 new vinyl albums this weekend:

Portishead - Dummy (180g version because I was not about to pay $50 for an import record)
Oasis - Whats the Story (Morning Glory)?
Wyclef Jean - The Carnival

Depends on the pressing, and I hear the MOV cut of 'Dummy' is a good one.

How's that Oasis? I remember the CD being LOUD with peircingly exaggerated highs.
YUUUUUUUUP.

Priced me right out of the building.

I did shell out for the Doomed & Stoned Fest this weekend. Pretty solid lineup. Been jamming Attalla from WI.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Xnr1YL2fWGY" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

The sound is rich and full. Hard to listen to trip hop at "acceptable" volumes to truly appreciate it.

Sounds really clean and vibrant. Exactly as you remembered the CD. Forgot how good this whole album was. Took me back to high school.

The new Bongripper record went on sale today (pre-order). Revolver has a 7 minute preview of the first track.

https://www.revolvermag.com/music/he...-new-song-slow

That's pretty dope. Too bad I can't buy anything, I got popped with a bag of shrooms last week and now have to get a lawyer, so I'm selling a bunch of my records.

It sucks. :\

Listening to the Chronic, old school bumps. Blackberry Smoke, probably some Stones later.

Feeling nostalgic ::sulk:

Over the weekend I listened to Pantera's Far Beyond Driven at 33RPM. Sounded like a mix of Korn, Bolt Thrower, and some beatdown hardcore. Someone has it posted on Youtube if you do a search for it.

Just finished the ultimate classic album this scorcher hails from, its like mainlined pure testosterone... you can literally watch the hair on your chest grow while its playing

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gstngdj8DJE" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Early Halen is some of the best shit ever

So Band-Maid dropped two new videos overnight.

The first is for their new single:
<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iL5sRrSECQ0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Kinda underwhelming for my tastes. They have done softer ballads before but at least Kanami (lead guitar) and MISA(bass) got to show off during them. Not so much here.

This on the other hand is much more up my alley. A live blu-ray quality version of Real Existence:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-qQnKILR5u0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Taken from the blu-ray that will come with the deluxe edition of the single. Might get it for that alone.

yes

AMEN
yesYeah that live track is rocking.

I've been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan lately, but I've been packing and reflective. Beck 'Sea Changes' etc.

I've realized that I'm actually spending my last days in Missouri, so that's kind of hitting me.

New project that I'm working on is a reissue label, a buddy and I got permission to reboot an old label from the artist's management, so now we gotta go to Sony and dig up some masters...

Good news, if you have a Bandcamp account, Bongripper put their new album up with a Name Your Price purchase option today. So for $0.00 you can download it to your computer and for $1.00 you can add it to your Bandcamp library and play it through their app.

These dudes understand the struggle.

Perhaps it's my half-hearted attempt at a mid-life crisis but I've been hooked on 80's music lately.

My dad had an old reel-to-reel player. I'm trying to find someone who can (affordably ROFL ) transfer or play his nearly YEARS of tape...

Hey, 80s music isn't bad. Just like any decade there was a lot of crap but also a lot of really good music being made as well.

Going to be seeing the worst band in the world according to Chiefsplanet next month.

So I try to work in their albums from start to finish before I do.

Pearl Jam.

They have more than one song?

j/k - you seeing them in PHX or Missoula?

Missoula. Playing in the outdoor football stadium at UM.

Should be an amazing setting.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...DJ7N_Z13qXksoA

Yes. The fifties to the end of the nineties has a lot of great stuff in it. There's a lot of BS in it too. Even some of that's okay for sentimental reasons. After that most of it all sounds similar to what came before it, or is just so popish. I'm just gonna listen to what it was based off of instead of the carbon copied version

PJ's probably good after 2000ish. I just turned off my radio around then. I'm sure that they've really grown as musicians. Eddie's what I have issues with. We were gonna go see him years ago, but it was on the tour where he put the mic stand through the Bush mask. I was young enough to disagree with Bush, but I felt that was over the line, and so I decided not to go

I find modern British and American popular music and rock to be kind of droll but that doesn't mean that there isn't good music being made today. You just have to look for it and sift through some crap. It might even be made in a foreign country. Sweden's metal scene is the best it has ever been with Ghost and Sabaton leading the charge. Japan's underground pop and rock scene has seen a huge amount of creativity since 2010 with Babymetal being the most popular act but other groups like Band-Maid and Necronomidol gaining decent followings in the West.

Is the reel to reel working? if so its pretty easy to do it yourself.

Reel-to-reel tape deck with a pair of stereo output jacks can be connected to a computer or laptop for creating digital copies of the analog tapes on the reels. The connection takes a standard stereo cable and a Y-adapter that condenses the two stereo signals from the tape deck to a single stereo plug that can hook up to the recording jack on the PC or laptop. Many computers may already be installed with recording software. Free software such as the Audacity program can be downloaded from the Internet.

That's what basically it all came down to when pop took over around the turn of the century. Even college rock stations started playing top 40 pop because at the time that's what the kids were listening to. I just didn't want to have to search for music. I just started branching out my tastes to go more in depth with old hip hop, older metal. If I have to look it's going to be deeper into when music wasn't pop. Like last year as an example I really got into death and black metal, and thanks for mentioning some ideas as I'm gonn go check out Ghost now

Yeah, Ghost is good. Though I am kinda lukewarm about their latest release so far.

The few bands that I've gotten into over the past ten to fifteen years or so have been based on covers. That's what I did with Ghost a few minutes ago. I like too see how they interpret another band's material. Plus it's not easy to f**k up a cover. It can be done. I don't mind the Cure and I like Purple Haze, but they didn't go well together

Their covers tend to be pretty good. If You Have Ghost, I am a Marionette, Here Comes the Sun.

The only one I didn't like was Missionary Man.

Looks amazing. MT has to be an underrated backdrop to see an epic show like PJ. Enjoy brother.

Nice place to see a concert or watch a football game.

Make the trip to MT my friend. You guys will love it.

My bro just bought a new house in Missoula in May. Our dad is driving up there this fall and I know they're planning to take in a Griz game. Doubtful I make it as we've nixed our travel budget for the year in prep of buying a new place of our own, but I'm shooting for 2019 for sure.

So The Heana Cat, the two women playing the guitar and bass in the video I posted about two pages back. I have never heard of them before so I did some research and found nothing in English. Just Japanese and strangely French. Anyway, listened to some of their stuff on youtube and its good. A bit poppy and keyboard driven perhaps for some but I bought some.

I've been trying to get my arms around Ween lately. So many different styles. It's pretty hit and miss for me. Anyway, I got stuck on their country song, Piss on a Rope and I've been listening to it over and over for the past hour or so. I'm a sucker for a fun, slightly raunchy song, I guess.

Saw Greta Van Fleet on the Tonight show. Wow.

Stern has been pimping them for quite a while.

Glad people are still respecting Zep's sound, but for the best modern take on classic rock, I still gotta go AIRBOURNE [AC-DC meets Motley Crue, courtesy of Cobra Kai]

I'm not one for big festivals but I sprung for all 3 days of Riot Fest after it was discounted to $100 due to the Ticketfly hack. Anyway, I was more than happy to read their announcement yesterday:

Love this band.

Bought a 2 disc remastered release yesterday, of GnRs Appetite, plus a second disc with a bunch of unreleased versions of various songs and covers like this one... been rediscovering their greatness

Tomorrow night, going to see Joan Jett open for Foreigner at the Illinois state fair

Foreigner have some great songs and it will be cool, but its really Joan I cant wait to see, the buddy I'm going with watched her open for Cheap Trick and Heart in St Louis last year... said she blew both of them off the stage, couldnt understand why she opened for either of them

Said the place went absolutely apeshit when she ripped into I Love Rock n Roll

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xL5spALs-eA" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

But yeah, this and other stuff will be enjoyed as well

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8Tl-kOcnn1U" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Good lord what a show, it was two and a half hours of nonstop hits

Joan was Joan, just as raw but tight as she was back in the day, her lead guy used a little bit of crybaby pedal on one song and she used a little bit of chorus pedal here and there... but otherwise it was straight up no frills rock n roll

She is teeeeeeny tiny, basically a midget, I doubt she is even 5 foot... but her voice sounds just like the radio versions, strong as hell

Foreigner, what can I say... there wasnt a single original member onstage, the only one still with them, lead guitarist Mick Jones, has been absent from several recent shows including this one

That said, wow man, they simply sounded incredible, you might remember their new singer Kelly Hansen from an 80s hair band called Hurricane (watched them open for Stryper back in the day)... let me tell you, THAT guy can belt that shit out

I was amazed at his energy, dude was dancing and running around like hell, yet hit every single note with serious power

No way old Lou Graham can match the younger guys intensity, just like Joan, everything they did sounded radio quality

Drum solos are mostly a relic of the past, but their guy did one that genuinely impressed, it was unreal... my buddy googled him while it was going on, it turns out his resume is crazy, toured with Vai etc

They opened with a megahit, and just kept churning them out the entire set... original members or not, I didnt feel cheated one bit

Sounds like a good time.

Older bands can still rock it. I have seen Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden, Rush, and The Cult in the last decade and all have sounded great.

Thanks to Risaki from Necronomidol, I got clued in on There There Theres sort of an alt-rock/pop idol group.

Sounds like a really good time Easy.

I was at a local used bookstore looking for a biography on Lee when I came across a couple Shakira CDs. They weren't in English, but that didn't stop me. I blasted her second official CD, Donde estan los ladrones, but specifically loved "Octavo Dia," "Si Te Vas," and "Tu." She used to sound so whiny, but in a cute way. Don't speak a lick of Spanish though.

I know less than ten words of Japanese but still enjoy some music from there. If it sounds good to me, I like it. :)

Interpol Rover.

Even if you loathe Sam Bee, give Brandi a chance. Been in love with her voice and style since I first heard her, and this is just as good as she's been.

They sure don't

Have to admit it, I've briefly looked at this band you've posted a few times and dont quite see it... maybe its just me, and I'll give it another go right now

Its all good, there isnt a loser on that album... but my oh my the second half of that album just tears the roof down

Kinda rediscovered it today, and its going back into HEAVY rotation

I can understand. The language barrier is a thing. The instrumentation though is excellent. Misa the bassist, Kanami the lead guitarist, and Akane the drums are all really talented musicians.

This whole album is fantastic :

Yeah the language things plays a part, but their musicianship is clearly outstanding

Don't know a single song this gal sings other than I ran across this on the net and thought I would spin it. I have to say put a lot of effort into it to be as much as Janis Joplin. I listen to all of it and have to say it it one of the best performances I have heard other than the original artist.

It's worth a listen.
