I'm twee!!!

whatever that means.
 
This week I've mainly been listening to Bob Dylan on my I-pod, Neil Young's Zuma on my record player - damn good record, not quite as great as After The Goldrush though - and yesterday online a bit of Bruce Springsteen which lead onto me remembering the new record by the great Gaslight Anthem. It's called American Slang and it's the best piece of blue collar punk-blues I've heard in years and you can audio stream it from the Rolling Stone website. Go, listen to it now. Then late last night once I'd become quite heavily sedated this other great new band Best Coast who are just beautiful noise-driven pop made by a bunch of potheads. Wonderful!

Feeling a bit pissed with corporate America and my job lately, haha, so what else but...

Listen to Jerry Lee Lewis and friends on my space, new CD with a lot of new and old songs from anybody....

Hoochmonkey, gotta say I agree with you on that one, in my top ten no doubt! Did you hear Dan's solo album? Also amazing.
 

This and Mahler helped me through many a restless nights. First love is Punk, but you are missing out if your life is diet free of jazz (and classical, too). IMO, of course.

i'm sure this may be sacrilegious to some of the Beatle's fans on here. So I apologize, but The Beatles are one of my faves and I still enjoy this album. It's mixed and produced by Danger Mouse(and hey Hooch, he produced the Black Keys last album!) Anyway, it's Jay-Z's Black album all mixed up with the Beatles White Album. Here's the story if anyones interested.

so, I'm currently listening to:

The Grey Album - Jay-Z - Danger Mouse and the Beatles kind of.

The video below mixes 99 problems with Helter Skelter. Why am I afraid of the backlash on posting this album? Come on, it's good!

There was a time I thought Mike Skinner was going to give Eminem a run for his money. Eh, not so much anymore, he doesn't really compare, but this album is still a classic and it's nice and chunky on vinyl.

After a long work day (13 hrs), this is the right stuff to relax to. Her voice gives the music wings to fly me away.

I had never heard of Portishead until I went to the Kroq accoustic xmas in like 1998? They were one of the bands and I swear they gave me chills for their entire set. They were amazing.

I'm going to with a friend to see the Rob Zombie and Alice Cooper (Who's 70's albums I love) on the 30th of this month. So I'm listening to his latest album(2008) and crossing my fingers that he doesn't play more than maybe one song from this album!

Here's the one song I wouldn't mind hearing. Slash's guitar work is pretty cool in it.

Don't worry, he'll play all the songs you expect.

That was a great band back in the 70s. They were always dismissed because of the theatrics, but they could kick some ass. I was tear-gassed at a Cooper show in the 70s. People thought it was part of the show, but some knucklehead just opened up a tear gas canister (two rows in front of me) and that side of the arena emptied out right quick.

That certainly sounds pretty rock n' roll and no doubt I would have confused that for part of the show... Well I just found a set list from the current tour with Zombie. You're right, playing the oldies, so looks like it should be a fun night.
Here is the set list from the tour:

School's Out Play
Department Of Youth
I'm Eighteen
Wicked Young Man

Go To Hell
Guilty
Cold Ethyl
Poison

After Portishead she came up with "Out of season".

Her voice, Beth's is very enchanting. Nice song.

Well a friend lent me this LP Friday, and has been bugging ever since to listen to it. I don't know, I've always heard great things about Roxy Music. Maybe I need to play it 10 more times, but it certainly was not my thing, after two complete listens.

So I went ahead and moved onto this, and NOW this is music to my ears!
