Re: What are you listening to right now?
I like this...
Borrowed this and a sack full of other stuff from a friend yesterday - Black Keys' new one, the latest Magnetic Fields disc, Thao Nguyen and She & Him (frankly disappointed with this one - no photos of Ms. Deschanel inside).

The Word raved about that Laura Veirs. I heard one or two on samplers, nice, and heard her on the radio. Good songwriter, no? Looks geeky.

Re: What are you listening to right now?
Isn't Pearl Jam a euphemism for...
Anyway, I've now finished listening to Live Jam and am listening to Paul Weller's Wild Wood in readiness for tonight's acoustic show
Fantastic album.

Re: What are you listening to right now?
I always wondered what 'toe jam football' meant in Come Together, "He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola...". I'd kinda pictured some toe jam building up so much that it was like a football!mood swung wrote:Toe jam is better than Pearl Jam.
Now thanks to you mood I've looked it up (and found a couple of cool sites in the process), but nothing very conclusive:
http://www.recmusicbeatles.com/public/f ... guide.html - BRITGUIDE---an introduction to Britishisms in the Beatles' Lyrics:
Toe-jam football - a nonsense phrase; it could refer to either American
football or British (soccer). "Toe-jam" may refer to an
injury but it could be one of Lennon's famous "portmanteau"
words...and remember that "jam" in Br.E. means what "jelly"
means in Am.E. (in Br.E, "jelly" is American "jello".)
http://www.lyricinterpretations.com/loo ... 0ee1249e9a :
-He got toe jam football (sexual reference)
-Toe jam football is probably also referring to nails growing after death, and the fact that during the decaying process, as the toenails rot they swell.
I'm sure everyone is utterly fascinated...

arm in arm in arm and eyes and eyes glazing under

Re: What are you listening to right now?
One of the decade's most underrated soul albums. New songs from Allen Toussaint, Billy Preston, Mavis Staples, Ann Peebles and Irma Thomas; all produced by Joe Henry. Ann Peebles' take on Dylan's "Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You" is with the price of admission. Back when this first came out in 2005 it was announced as "Part 1." I think Joe had intended to do a full album with Billy Preston but sadly he passed away before that came to fruition.

Cue Mr Average! And me: great record. He got some great SPanish flavours in here. Shame he didn't play any of these on the two occasions when I saw him in Spain!

Great track!New Music: Al Green [ft. Corinne Bailey Rae]: "Take Your Time" [Stream]
"Do you remember when... we used to take our time?" asks jazzy British crooner Corinne Bailey Rae on this oozing slow jam from Lay It Down, evoking long pre-Facebook evenings of love letters and wallowing brass sections when, according to Rev. Al Green, "Everythang was easy/ Everythang was OK" Funny-- a whole host of economic indicators remembered Green's mid-1970s heyday as anything but "easy," but that's maybe the point: With his world-weary groan-- a voice that breaks into euphoria at the brink of exhaustion-- Green's got the kind of instrument you can clock a recession to. Hear that voice on your radio, and you knows times is hard. So, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, if you're reading this, here's your red flag: Judging from their liberal use of open spacing-- there's like eight snare taps in the whole piece-- the Reverend and his protégé want to take this nation through an economic slow-down, "just to fall in love again."
In the cannon of Al Green duets, it's not easy to be a songstress who can share the spotlight with his magnificent presence without over-playing one's cards, but Rae does just that. Onstage with a legend of relaxation, the 29-year-old proves herself patiently, casually noodling around the beat with that earthy enchantress melisma that she borrows from Erykah Badu, with all of Badu's naturalism, but none of her rigid, Billie Holiday weirdness. The lyrics drift by like mileposts on a long night's drive-- sometimes Al Green mumbles them, incoherently. When he drifts back towards yesterday's snoozy soul platitudes Rae keeps him-- and us-- from nodding off, with her avant-garde sense of rhythm and style. She's the Neo, he's the Soul.
