What are you listening to Part the Third

[mikeymad]

booted my old Zen Vision:M (still working) -- and this came pouring out.. .

Tis good morning.

For a change of pace, here's the classic break-out hit "Sexy Roy Orbison" by ficticious Lappish punk band "The Fuckers":

Lo Moon -- S/T

This is pretty terrific if you like Talk Talk, unless you think it's too derivative I guess. Going to let Dusty rule on it.

Great production too.

 

[Dusty Chalk]

Will give it a listen!  Thanks.

EDIT:  No, definitely not too derivative, melikey this big time.

Change in the bass has not killed the group.

Yo La Tengo -- There's A Riot Goin' On

 

Quote

“In 1971, when the nation appeared to be on the brink of violently coming apart, Sly and the Family Stone released There’s a Riot Goin’ On, an album of dark, brooding energy,” reads a press statement. “Now, under similar circumstances, Yo La Tengo have issued a record with the same name but with a different force, an album that proposes an alternative to anger and despair.”

There might be albums out there that are as good, but I am doubtful there are any that are better.

I've always been curious about this one... Matador is re-releasing the Exile in Guyville on May 4, but I'm not sure if the remastering will be a step forward, backward, or sideways, considering how well the original was regarded:

I'm skeptical about remastering - I can't say I've ever really heard a remaster that I thought was much better, but I have certainly heard plenty that were worse. This one feels pretty easy to get wrong. But I am excited about the re-release of the old demo tapes. That should be fun.

..though Youtube's lossy compression does the audio no favours here, at all.
