This is the shit I be watchin recently.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOnXqW-BJPg

Brinsley Schwarz: Surrender to the Rhythm - goddamn, I wish there was music that sounded like this nowadays that wasn't saturated with irony.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JE6mzEBGoh8

Rogue Wave: 10-1 - awesome jangle-pop song done with care and delicacy, unlike the fuzzed-out version on the CD. I cannot extricate this song from my head these days.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=CTNnHjhf3js

Bronze: On the Clock - speaking of "saturated with irony..." Local guys. Good tune, if you can get beyond the audible smirk.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mTQBr9bIzJU

Genesis: Supper's Ready (part 2) - from 1973 or so. At 00:49, Peter Gabriel does something that will make you glad you're not tripping on acid right now. Don't watch this after midnight!

http://youtube.com/watch?v=mTQBr9bIzJU

Dub Trio: One Man Tag Crew - featuring Joe Tomino, currently my favorite living drummer. I would give up a finger or a toe to see these cats live.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=7oqF8UWf9tw

Last Exit: "mountains of cocaine" - free improv from the late 80's featuring Sonny Sharrock on guitar. Amazing.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jo2bAaAAiJU&mode=related&search=

The Format: She Doesn't Get It - I don't care what anyone says, I think these guys are incredible. Sure, it's teen-poppy, but the craftsmanship here is undeniable. I'm addicted to this song.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Hibmrk348NI

Y. Bhekhirst: Hot in the Airport - YES! Just watch it. Actually, one of the trippiest songs ever recorded, and yet some might listen and say "talentless," "off-key," "out of tune," etc. These people are fools.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=3IaAJyeRAis

Dude 'n' Nem: Watch My Feet - Goofy-assed hip hop from Chicago. "It's cold up in this place, boy!"

http://youtube.com/watch?v=pYLVM560Fok

John Martyn: Small Hours - gorgeous, haunting. It takes a lot to bring tears to my eyes these days, and this song does that.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=RZ3XuKQvXk0

76% Uncertain: Dr. Jeckyll, Mr. Drunk/ Hate the Radio - the only available video of these Connecticut Hardcore legends. It doesn't do them justice, but until someone has the foresight to reissue the full 76% catalogue, it'll hafta do.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=TCDHVbk71Hg

The Weirdos: Solitary Confinement - My favorite Weirdos song.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=VhS-csU0k1U

Mum: They Made Frogs Smoke Till They Exploded - Good tune, better video.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=azdHR9AvuXk

Davey Williams: untitled improv - this guy was my favorite guitarist for a while. I wish he was better known; Davey was an inspirational figure when I was learning how to play guitar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULApoGit0Qc

Loosegoats: Mule Habit - can the grunge revival actually be the next big thing? The nostaligia circles are closing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhiLpQqbO5E

The La's: Timeless Melody - one of the few songs whose title is both a boast and a self-fulfilling prophesy.

AND FINALLY.....


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56qwe_oYu9M

Nick Lowe & Rockpile: So it Goes - back where we began, with more vinatge Nick lowe action. Why don't more bands WANT to sound like this? Listen to the jazz-inflected, Van Morrison-like way he phrases against the beat when he sings - why is this jaunty quality such a rare (Hell, EXTINCT is more like it!) thing to find in music these days? A new, young band with this same sound and songwriting style could TOTALLY clean up in the indie marketplace, I tell ya.

ANYHOES, those are mine. You show me yours!

7. LOVE the Jayhawks.

True harmony singing is a dying, if not dead, art. They do it beautifully, even live.

[Common Sense Party]

12. I do, too. One of my 5 favorite bands. nt

[enigmatic]

27. The Jayhawks are fantastic

Hollywood Town Hall is one of the most underappreciated records of the 90's, and Mark Olson never should have left the band. Sound Of Lies is fantastic too, and Wilco never did anything half as good as it...

[Common Sense Party]

2. That John Martyn song was amazing.

I think I vaguely remember seeing him on TV back in the late 70s, early 80s.

Wow.

I'll have to watch some of the others tomorrow.

[Common Sense Party]

3. Sounds like he influenced Daniel Lanois a great deal. nt

[RandomKoolzip]

6. Thanks. Yeah, he should have been huge.

Some of his best stuff sounds astonishingly modern - His album "Solid Air" aparently has a cult following among pockets of ravers because of its "chillout" potential. What he does with an acoustic guitar and a few effects pedals is mind-blowing; maybe it's "was" and not "is -" the dude lost a leg and gained about a hundred pounds recently and is a notoriously mean drunk. The recent stuff I've seen by him is tres disappointing.

[idgiehkt]

4. something I love that sucks

can't even hear alot of Kat's vocal, this is from 1991, The Year Punk Broke, Kurt Cobain is shown standing backstage in the first couple seconds. This is probably my favorite song of all time...the ending is weird, it skips alot like it's been edited to shorten it or something. I just like thinking about that time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Y6NHbiWbps

to list them all would take too long, thanks for the post, I'm going to check yours out tomorrow...


hey, also great version of Missed by PJ Harvey, too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhEseH7tJ88

[RandomKoolzip]

9. I love Dave Markey's films, but I wish he'd use better audio.

In any case, 1991 was one of the greatest years to be 16 and into "weird" music. I miss the early 90's...

[ghostsofgiants]

5. Lately...

These Arms Are Snakes - "Horse Girl"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Gc3ZjkrTZk

Against Me! - "White People For Peace"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OzkivWf78A

TV on the Radio - "Staring at the Sun" (Live on Letterman)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6FUTNa6WJk

Fugazi - "Break"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yApVMcyGMwg

[RandomKoolzip]

10. I dig everything I've heard by Against Me!.

Are their full-length albums as good as the singles I've heard?

[ghostsofgiants]

17. Their newest album is fucking great, definitely one of my favourites of the year.

Their other stuff is excellent too, but I never quite got into them until this album.

[stuntcat]

22. I *heart* Fugazi

:headbang: :headbang:

[DS1]

8. Rammstein - Sonne - Only because Snow White is drop dead gorgeous

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mfHlA3fmJG0

[RandomKoolzip]

11. "Touch my monkey! Touch Klaus!"

"Sprockets"-metal at its finest.

[AwakeAtLast]

26. You just wanna be spanked!

;)

BTW, I loves me some Rammstein! :loveya:

[likesmountains 52]

13. Wow...you just made me dig out my Brinsley Schwarz album...ahhhhhh

[RandomKoolzip]

16. They shoulda been superstars...

But then I'm kinda glad they weren't - it's like sharing some incredible secret with someone when you meet another Brinsley Schwarz fan.

[likesmountains 52]

19. I think you're the first one I've met...except for my mom and sisters

[Bennyboy]

14. Jerry Garcia. & Bob Weir ;Throwing Stones

18. good topic

Every night I have a private concert on youtube. Just amazing!!

I fell in love with some musicians in Newfoundland who are singing freedom songs. I didn't even know that Newfoundland wanted to be free.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3VuyPdBlTM

[HughBeaumont]

20. Music Snob Thread!!!!

And thanks for Last Exit. Bill Laswell is a demon seed.

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells live pt 1a (1981). You know, because it's great and that's THAT.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xPEt5OTR6Vc&mode=related&search=

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Helpless Corpes Enactment. Out of Oakland comes fucked-up "Rock against Rock", as it were. They make their own instruments and use no synthesizers.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ELyco68w5ks

Municipal Waste live set. This is how mosh pits used to look in the 80s. Fun band to watch live, and having Dave Witte as their drummer doesn't hurt things.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=FReXY-aKoKY&mode=related&search=

Malcolm McClaren - Do ya Like Scratchin? I used to own the album this came off of long ago. A weird song with a good melody that captures early 80s B-Boy culture at it's best.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=OtFpiXkX_mo

Landscape - My Name is Norman Bates. Here's what I think when someone mentions "80s". Great song with a creepy narrative and chorus. Turn up the volume, because the sound is low.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=pLvnYwvJMKE

Proletarian Art Threat - asthmaticeog's band. Too bad you can only see asthmaticeog's hands.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUM2EYhLQBM

Van Der Graaf Generator - Plague of Lighthouse Keepers pt 3 (1971). Ignore the bad dubbing. Underground Brit prog doesn't get much better than this. All without guitar or bass. It really picks up around 4:00.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q1wfmTiA94

Napalm Death - When All is Said and Done. Possibly the most brutal song about the preciousness of life ever recorded.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIRUzqHTNh8

The Shaggs - My Pal Foot Foot. You gotta hand it to the Wigg sisters . . . at least they tried. Foot Foot is so damned creepy, though.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC976ydqE3g

Brian Eno, David Byrne - Mea Culpa. Buy the album My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. NOW. Seriously, what are you waiting for?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QLXTsviMxk

Naked City - 6 songs (1.Igneous Ejaculation 2.Blood Duster 3.Hammerhead 4.Demon Sanctuary 5.You Will Be Shot 6.Reanimator), speaking of lower NYC improv.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMGr1l9vRfA

MY finally is from the Dutch group Focus . . . on the Gladys Knight show in 1973, playing a way fast version of "Hocus Pocus". One of the best performances of any band I'VE ever seen televised. And I've seen the Bay City Rollers, damn it. Thijs Van Leer is a fucking madman. Oh, not just note, but BOW DOWN TO, their great guitarist Jan Akkerman. DAMN.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpV5InLw52U

[HughBeaumont]

21. Oh, one more -

Kaizer's Orchestra - Bak et Hallelujah. Klezmer, gypsy, old world and Russian Roulette. Norwegians on a rampage, industrial barrel drumming and all.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vjTZ5RV_4Vw&mode=related&search=

[Manifestor_of_Light]

30. Here's one. Several.

Jacqueline du Pre - 3rd movement of Elgar Cello Concerto.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsekb1qwZs0

She was portrayed in the movie Hilary and Jackie.

The hottest fiddler of the 20th century. When I say "Hot" I don't mean attractive,although she was blonde and beautiful. "hot" as in talented, passionate, burning with life. And when I say fiddler I mean "Violin, viola, cello or bass".

Unfortunately her performing career was cut short after about ten years and she died of multiple sclerosis in 1987.

I was lucky enough to see her play this piece live in 1969.

Also watch the documentary segments on her on YouTube. I think there are eight segments.
