Dusty Chalk Posted December 23, 2019 Report Posted December 23, 2019 I got Whammed today. In a fucking Brooklyn Pizza, of all places. Gah!
Dusty Chalk Posted December 23, 2019 Report Posted December 23, 2019 Alright, I have to admit I got drawn in by the name, but when the short description name-dropped Pallbearer, my interest went to "piqued".
Hopstretch Posted December 26, 2019 Report Posted December 26, 2019 This was a nice Christmas present. 4
Dusty Chalk Posted December 26, 2019 Report Posted December 26, 2019 Yes, very nice, thank you for sharing.
blessingx Posted December 26, 2019 Report Posted December 26, 2019 What Dusty said. Finishing up the Xmas music here with Spike Jones. Like Nick Cave, if he had a much higher voice and his twisted-ness went exactly in the opposite direction. Killer tracks like... 2 1

jose Posted December 27, 2019 Report Posted December 27, 2019 Supertramp "Breakfast in America" deluxe edition... IMO a masterpiece 5 1
mikeymad Posted December 27, 2019 Report Posted December 27, 2019 "a textbook-perfect album of post-Beatles, keyboard-centered English art rock that strikes the shrewdest possible balance between quasi-symphonic classicism and rock & roll" - Stephen Holden 2

skullguise Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) ^^^ Basically 3 sisters (and later a 4th IIRC) from NH who's dad wanted some kind of stardom so forced them to play and managed them..... They win one of the best-named songs (early on....these days it's a free-for-all) with "My Pal Foot Foot" EDIT: holy shit! I knew they were cult-ish, but a musical, tribute bands, and more? Yikes!

HiWire Posted December 29, 2019 Report Posted December 29, 2019 (edited) The Shaggs led to Texas, which somehow led to Rock & Rule... thanks, YouTube(?). I'm enjoying the post-punk/post-rock/post-disco post-apocalypse: Bonus: the guy who put the Rock & Rule soundtrack together has been busy. Here is his reconstruction of Michael Jackson's Starlight album (from the Thriller demo tapes – no Thriller songs here): Edited December 29, 2019 by HiWire 1

The way it was explained to me was that he felt it was ordained... ... and what I meant was I didn’t know if it was genius or madness...
skullguise Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 Gotcha....yeah, I had read that the father's mother had some predictions that came true about her son's life, and one of them was that her grandkids would sing/be in a band. So the father forced them to practice constantly & play, and was quite restrictive in allowing them to do much else for much of their time. 1
mikeymad Posted December 30, 2019 Report Posted December 30, 2019 Great breakdown (with isolation tracks) of a great track.. 5 1

Or did they master the fine art of appearing to practice, as many children do? ? 1
