Mood -

I'm pretty truant on this but I wanted to ask you what you thought of Couples In Trouble. Definitely in my Top 10 albums of the decade so far....

Red Hot Moon is today's theme song.

That one would have been a hit for sure if they hadn't made a depressing grey dawn/daylight video.

(Most fellow Rancid fans I know were disappointed when the record was released because the guitars aren't loud enough in the mix, which is true, but how can anyone let that get in the way of killer songs, ie. 14/19 or so.)

El Vez, I am enjoying Couples in Trouble very much, thank YOU very much.

KH, I never saw a video for Red Hot Moon, but it is a fantastic song on an album of pretty darn good songs.

GBV, couldn't agree with you more. Art Brut might be a novelty, but they are pretty darn funny. And fun is what it's all about.

Oooooo, Chrille, I am so with you on that. Love love love this album, and the remastered edition is perfection itself, isn't it?

Yeah I'm listening to underground 90's albums at the moment. Kind of hard to get used to. Example: Slanted and Enchanted by Pavement. Bery weird.

The Loaf is just not as Loafy these days. I miss the extra 85 pounds and the tuxedo shirt and suspenders.

Yeah, true pophead, but I don't remember him getting those bras on his guitar in those days.

And thus the answer to what YOU were doing last saturday 'round eleven o'clock!

Really terrific album, even better than Blacklisted, which is saying a lot. It's really been a banner year for women singer/songwriters - Jenny Lewis, Cat Power and now this.

El Vez · Post by **El Vez** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 9:38 am

Neko Case is the shit, isn't she? I'm really diggin' on Fox Confessor as well and I am amazed at how much she continues to grow and develop from record to record. Furnace Room Lullaby is still my fave because it was my first but this is a phenomenal record.

WSS - I highly recommend you check out Carolyn Mark sometime. She's worked with Neko frequently (they even had a one-off together called The Corn Sisters) and she's a great, smartass singer/songwriter herself. The Pros & Cons of Collaboration and Terrible Hostess in particular are just wonderful records.

Thanks Vez. Will keep an eye out for that. I just love the unexpected lyrical and musical twists on this new one. Amazing voice too.

Chrille · Post by **Chrille** » Sat Mar 25, 2006 10:15 am

I got the N.C album just yesterday and I really like it. I like her work with the New Pornographers as well, love her voice.

Right now I'm listening to:

Got this yesterday as well. It's nice. Havn't listened to anything else by Zappa besides this.

Those are Meatloaf's old bras... he's a great advocate for weight loss.

"Clementine", "Jump For Joy" - awesome. Perfect music for a sunny early spring day.

Ah, you warm my heart. Spoon, like the Decemberists, are one of the bands I got to see early on and were my Band Of Destiny - the band you catch early on before a lot of people and just KNOW they're gonna get big. I saw them open for GBV 4 or 5 different times - Austin 97, Philly 98, SXSW 99, Dallas 2001, saw them on their own right before the Elektra debacle in 98, and saw Britt solo 4 or 5 times, including last week at SXSW. If any band deserves any amount of success, it's them. You can't ever say they haven't paid their dues, and they are the nicest guys in the world. I think EC fans would especially love Girls Can't Tell, but I'm aprtial to the more edgy Series of Sneaks. Gimme Fiction is full of great songs too.

Anywhoo, currently listening to Love's Forever Changes.

King Hoarse · Post by **King Hoarse** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 11:22 am

Lovely little ep that opens with a great cover of Otis Blackwell's Handyman, and I love this version of The Man Who Was Too Loud (about Jonathan Richman, for all you trivia fans out there).

old schoolin' it this afternoon. and that one picture of the guy with 3 (at least) balls in his mouth really freaks me out.

Whilst I've been off jetsetting around the country on business (HA!) I've been playing the whole of Billy Bragg's Volume 1 box set which is fantastic. There are a number of unreleased gems but, as with these box sets, you can see why certain songs were never released.

Having been Bragged out I am now listening to the Arctic Monkeys' debut album which is worth the hype (there are so many songs I can relate to!) and Kaiser Chiefs Employment.
