Hopstretch Posted July 2, 2009 Report Posted July 2, 2009 The Human League -- The Very Best Of Funny story. My wife and I once did an epic, drunken karaoke duet of "Don't You Want Me" in a Key West bar in the middle of Bike Week. Large, bearded people threw bottles. It's a miracle we weren't both raped and killed. The performance practically demanded it.
Hopstretch Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Martin Sexton -- The American Such a good album. Ustjay utpay tiay niay hetay oxbay.
feckn_eejit Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 this one sounds *outrageously* good... i LOVE the kitschy bass on "Lowdown". not to difficult, but so fun to play along with. for some reason i always feel like i'm in a 70's cop show when I listen this track... or "Night By Night" from SD's _Pretzel Logic_, incidentally.

Such an awesome album. I'll have to put this on right now
feckn_eejit Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Wicked! I have a soft spot for the even cheesier _Middle Man_ as well... edit: ...which i'm going to switch over to. kind of an interesting album cover... "look out behind you, jojo's got his gun..." fuck it this is 70's cop show music as well.
drp Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 I have the CD cover that's the mini version of the full size LP, complete with picture wheel and internal album sleeve. One of my favs. Feckn (below post); roger that; such a great mix of material
feckn_eejit Posted July 3, 2009 Report Posted July 3, 2009 Only LZ album I will listen to all the way through without the coercion of being tied up... fav LZ track is Fool in the Rain, for THAT DRUMMING!!! which brings me to a fun tangent: when Jeff Porcaro was asked about the drum bit in Toto's Rosanna, he says he drew inspiration from Fool in the Rain, and Steely Dan's Home at Last... which is the same drumeer/beat as Babylon Sisters (the fantastic Purdie Shuffle!). Porcaro is THE MAN... a white kid drumming for Steely Dan at age 20!!?!? Holy crap. His instructional drum video is pretty fun too but a bit dry/technical... as is Donald Fagen's piano video, only even more technical... but I find it a blast to get a glimpse into the minds of master musicians like these guys.
feckn_eejit Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Tried a few times and the new album just won't grab me... bummer as the GF adores it and can't stop listening to it! Alphabetical still my fav of theirs... then United, then this one.
feckn_eejit Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978) The '05 Warner remaster is sounding surprisingly good on the Grate-ohs...
diebenkorn Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 Bill Evans and Tony Bennett, then some Mahavishnu Orchestra
feckn_eejit Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 You read right. This album is GREAT! and Hall has the pipes of a fucking angel (see last track, Without Tears)

feckn_eejit Posted July 4, 2009 Report Posted July 4, 2009 YouTube - Play him off - Keyboard Cat - Hall and Oates LOLZ wow...just wow. I suppose my taste for Monseigneur Hall's solo effort (as produced by and performed upon by Monseigneur Fripp, including a generous dollop of Frippertronics!) could be explained by my being born in '84, (Out of Touch was just hitting MTV!) meaning i didn't have to live through Hall and Oates' dizzying heights of popularity. indeed, some of their videos were real classics.......................................................
