I have been listening to the Allman Brothers for a solid month now. I just watched the doc about Tom Dowd, the pioneering sound engineer and producer and they have interviews with some of the Band members that I found very interesting.

oooooh. Daniel Jonston(Johnston?), very interesting music. The man's life is intersting , too. There's a pretty good documentary about him called " The Devil and Daniel Jonston".

Those pointy shredding guitars are awesome. It's nice that someone still uses them, and they didn't all just get thrown away at the end of the 80's. That song is good, but it should be about five minutes longer. It cuts off just as the idea of suicide starts to creep up on you.

Actually the song is from 1988, but Denis D'Amour kept his awesome guitar sound until he died in 2005. They did the last two albums with guitar tracks he had recorded at home previous to his death (colon cancer).
Here's one from INFINI, no video yet -

Here's what I consider to be the best R&R tune of the past 35 years:


For some reason, a complete version cannot be found on youtube. This is about 2 minutes short.

Me heep likeum King Crimson (and Red's their best) and Fripps guitar lick on this is unbelievable. (not Rock N Roll though)

But MJP's choice is unquestionably the right, albeit a bit highbrow, choice.

Naw, to me Chuck Berry is rock'n'roll-bands like the Who, Zep etc. are rock and bands like King Crimson are rock also (prog rock).

But me heepum like KC.

Tinarriwen's new one Imidiwan:Companions, usually I can't stomach what might be considered 'World Music' but they are pretty damn great.

For Post Toxic, "Princess Sarah"'s opening song :

Now that's a cool reminder. I got to hear Violent Femmes first from Fort Worth exchange students, they loved VF. They also introduced me to Dr. Pepper and were introduced to German beer, but that's another off topic teenage story.

I was looking at Arte (a franco-german TV channel)'s website to see what its "Summer of the 80s" programms consist in when I saw that video, a new version of "99 Luftballoons" specially recorded by Nena for the said "Summer of the 80s" :

Elected the song of this night :D

I sometimes regret not having a TV anymore ; TV is not all shitty, there are some good channels like Arte, I'm missing some excellent programms, pfff...

Usually wrong.
Well I was listening to far too much wacko talk radio until I began to scare myself, so I backed off that and now I'm listening to some sort of spacy eastern electronica stuff. Have no idea of what it's called or even where it's from, but the lyrics are seldom in English and the voices are soothing and it's foreign enough to keep me interested.

Zohar? Or close to that...
