What Music Are You Currently Listening To?

'Cos Baley wanted me to. For the record, I don't actually get minimalistic jazz with ambient influences all that well, but at least it's not irritating. Is this purely synth or do they play instruments?

Got this for you:

 

Christoph Closer (saxophone, Fender Rhodes piano, vibraphone)

Robin Rodenberg (bass instrument, fretless bass)

Morten Gass (8-string bass)

Thorsten Benning (percussion)

Joseph Barth, Daiki Takahashi (tuba)

 

Also, that's pretty much their slowest record. I quite like it.

 

 

Crooklyn Dodgers - Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers (Instrumental)

I think this band would put on a VERY interesting show, if all the members were alive and agreeable.

 

Piano: Warren Zevon

Marimba, organ: Tom Waits

Lead guitars: Robert Cray, Kim Thayil

Rhythm guitar, vocals: Frank Black

Bass: Jeff Stirratt

Drums: Matt Cameron

Vocals: Greg Dulli, Neko Case, Jakob Dylan

Trumpet: Al Hirt

Trombone: Richie "La Bamba" Rosenberg

Sax: Arno Hecht, Crispin Cioe

 

 

The meshing of styles would be delicious.

 

 

Also, listening to The Who's "Eminence Front."

I considered picking a bass virtuoso, but most bass ninjas muck up the mix, IMO. I wanted a "background" bass player in this band, because the focus would be on the other elements. An Edgar Meyer or Billy Sheehan (in the rock world) are technically better players, but that's not what I'm looking for here.

 

I always thought the guy from Wilco played understated, but decent lines. I guess his name is John, not Jeff.

 

John Paul Jones would probably be another good choice.

 

Also, my band will feature WZ and the younger Dylan doubling on harmonica occasionally. :(

Radiohead--Myxamotosis (Not sure if it's spelt right)

 

By the way, has anyone else noticed how much Baley's music tastes seemed to have changed over the period of half a year or so? Seems Mr. Baley's tolerance to semi-hip-hop has reduced a bit, impressively so that he listens to Tupac now! ....unless your kidding about it of course..

Billy Sheehan

Yikes.

 

Jeff's Tweedy's first name. That's what made my joke. The fact that you had 2 Wilco guys in 1. And I really like Uncle Tupelo. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'll stop talking about it now.

 

Here's my harmonica player of choice. Sonny Terry.

 

 

 

I absolutely love Hip-Hop. Pac, Jeru, Biggie, Big L, C-Bo, Killah Priest, Roots Manuva, Jehst, Pharoahe Monch, Prince Po, Brotha Lynch, Snoop, Big Pun, E-40, Slick Rick, Wu-Tang, Brand Nubian, Gang Starr, Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Masterminds and the list goes on and on. Don't even get me started on Rap producers.

 

Killah Priest - B.I.B.L.E.

 

Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when I was twelve

I loved doing right but I was trapped in hell

Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears

Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear

I searched for the truth since my youth

And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot

that I was paying, plus the praying

I didn't like staying cuz of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties

That the preacher had souped up with lies

Had me cooped up lookin at loot, butt, and thighs

Durin the service, he swallowed up the poor

And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor

But I ignored, and explored my history that was untold

And watched mysteries unfold

And dropped a jewel like Solomon, but never followed men

cause if you do your brain is more hollow than

Space oblivia, or the abyss

With no trace of trivia, left with the hiss

Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?

From a slave we was kept from the mind

And from the caves he crept from behind

And what he gave, was the sect of the swine

When the bible, it condemned the pig

I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs

But we used to wear a turban, but now we're in the urban

No more wearing beanies and dress like a genie

No hocus pocus cause I focus on the facts

And put it on the tracks and brought it through the wax

I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time

And too much knowledge, it might break up the ryhme

I did it anyway just to wake up the mind

of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet

Those who sit home, or sell books by the market

Need to chill and get their mind revived

For years religion did nothing but divide

The basic instructions before leaving earth

Just because you're a bit thinner than your even fatter mum it doesn't mean you're in excellent physical shape, if you could fit through the door and view the normal people you'd notice that cheeseburger boy. Squid suck.

Nope. I suppose I'll bite the bullet and spend $30 per month or whatever it is for DSL these days. My new job's much nicer than my old one, so it's not like I'll have to cut out lunch three days a week to pay my internet bill.

 

I have super high speed and a brand new computer at work, but it is work. I should do work there, according to the definition of the term.

 

Anyway, listening to:

And you can listen to some bitchin music at the same time.

 

Like this great piece of history, and one of my favourite recordins,

 

Helen Humes, Sonny Terry, Brownie McGhee, Willie Dixon, T-Bone Walker and Memphis Slim - Blues Ain't Nothing But a Woman

That is some beautiful, beautiful music. ;)

 

Time to drive home for the day. Probably listen to some Hi-Standard.

Good to hear that about the Hip-hop Baley, not enough people around here appreciating the good hip-hop that's around at the moment.

 

Might I ask if you have heard of the likes of Sage Francis, Atmosphere and most of the Anticon Record Label?

I would definitely recommend that if you haven't, or anything by Definitive Jux too.

Toadies - Motivational.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

My biggest problem with indie hip-hop nowadays is the lack of compelling rappers. Don't get me wrong I like a few of em, especially MF Doom, Mr. Lif and Aesop Rock, but I ain't gonna pretend they anything but mediocre rappers. For example I love Doom as a producer but would much rather hear someone else do the actual rapping. Mike Skinner's a British equivalent.

 

But really, I'm a sucker for hardcore rap. I love the violence, I love the chaos, I love the social anxiety, the sense of helplessness and the do it yourself mentality.

 

Anyway, I owe you an explanation of what I mean by compelling rapping, here are a few examples:

 

 

Brotha Lynch Hung - RIP

 

Organized Konfusion - Stress

 

GZA - Cold World

 

Jeru The Damaja - You Can't Stop The Prophet

 

Crooklyn Dodgers - Return Of The Crooklyn Dodgers

 

Big L - No Skinz No Endz

 

Gravediggaz - Diary Of A Madman

Leonard Cohen - Famous Blue Raincoat

 

 

Famous Blue Raincoat

 

It's four in the morning, the end of December

I'm writing you now just to see if you're better

New York is cold, but I like where I'm living

There's music on Clinton Street all through the evening.

 

I hear that you're building your little house deep in the desert

You're living for nothing now, I hope you're keeping some kind of record.

 

Yes, and Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear

Did you ever go clear?

 

Ah, the last time we saw you you looked so much older

Your famous blue raincoat was torn at the shoulder

You'd been to the station to meet every train

And you came home without Lili Marlene

 

And you treated my woman to a flake of your life

And when she came back she was nobody's wife.

 

Well I see you there with the rose in your teeth

One more thin gypsy thief

Well I see Jane's awake --

 

She sends her regards.

 

And what can I tell you my brother, my killer

What can I possibly say?

I guess that I miss you, I guess I forgive you

I'm glad you stood in my way.

 

If you ever come by here, for Jane or for me

Your enemy is sleeping, and his woman is free.

 

Yes, and thanks, for the trouble you took from her eyes

I thought it was there for good so I never tried.

 

And Jane came by with a lock of your hair

She said that you gave it to her

That night that you planned to go clear --

 

Sincerely, L. Cohen
