Sufjan Stevens - Come On! Feel The Illinoise! -Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition -Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

 

It pisses me off that I enjoy this album so much.

 

I mean, I'm so sick of hearing it's the best album of the year and there's not a bad song on it. I'm so sick of his **** lyrics and retardedly huge titles...

 

But goddammit Illinoise is just so beautiful.

This is probably the funniest album I have ever heard.

I must admit, I am totally behind the idea of making an album for every state in the U.S. It would require a ridiculous amount of songwriting, and the possibilties really intrigue me. I mean, if there's going to be an album about Maine, you know there's going to be a song about lobsters. Maybe even rock lobsters... :ph34r:

 

So regardless of whether he can pull it off, it's a cool idea. I'm just surprised Ryan Adams didn't think of it first. I guess he'll just stick to making three albums a year that aren't about states.

I don't want to be a hipster. :devil:

 

Sufjan Stevens - Chicago

 

Fine, after I finish listening to this album, I will listen to some Godsmack. THAT'LL SHOW YOU.

 

Yep, Godsmack will kill your hipster cred every time.

 

That Chicago song is the only SS tune I've actually heard. Like you, I have heard the yammering of the indie press about how he's the greatest thing since Wayne Coyne - but I haven't gone out of my way to make my own judgment.

Chicago is a really good song. Other really good songs on the album are "Come On! Feel The Illinoise! -Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition -Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream", "Jacksonville", "Decatur, or, Round of Applause for Your Step Mother!", "The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts" and "The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out To Get Us!" (which I am currently listening to).

 

Goddammit, screw those huge song titles. If I had written those songs, they would have been titled "Illinoise", "Decatur", "Metropolis" and "Wasps"...

Melechesh - Emissaries and the Mysterium Magistratum

 

Best ****ing black metal album ever.

It's bound for failure, if it has to be an exhaustive list; just think about the albums for the fortieth-plus states ... :("

Nah, I don't think he's even trying to make ALBUMS for all states. I bet some of 'em will be EP's or even just singles.

 

Currently listening to my guitar making sounds after my fingers touch it. Sounds that sound somewhat like a broken down version of Alice In Chains' "I Stay Away", which I am trying to figure out how to play.

Yeah, I know it's a pipe dream. Still, he's said he would then he's said he wouldn't. Either way, he's got two down, 48 to go.

The Police - Can't Stand Losing You

 

 

Now it's the Backbeat Band - Money/Long Tall Sally

 

1994:

Greg Dulli / Afghan Whigs, Twilight Singers

Dave Grohl / Nirvana, Foos, QOTSA, Probot, Pete Yorn :huh:

Dave Pirner / Soul Asylum

Thurston Moore / Sonic Youth

Mike Mills / R.E.M., Hindu Love Gods :-

Don Fleming / Gumball

 

It's basically an alt-rock all-star band covering songs the Beatles covered in their bar band days. Oh, and it kills.

 

I love that if there's a 30 second instrumental break, Dulli smokes a cigarette. :D

They even made a pro video with the single for 'Money'. I remember it being a black and white dealy with lots of camera stops. Then again, my memory told me that Dulli wasn't in the live lineup that I just watched. <_<

 

And Don Fleming has a ****load of producer credits to his name. He produced the Posies' Frosting On The Beater, as well as TFCs' Bandwagonesque.

 

While we're talking decent movie music, I'll present the flip side of the coin:

 

Paul McCartney - Spies Like Us

 

Dan Akroyd:"Hey Paul, we need a song for Chevy and I's new movie, there's a hundred and fifty grand in it for ya"

McCartney:"What's it called?"

DA:"Spies Like Us. It's a zany romp with hot Russian chicks. Should we send you an advance copy"

PM:"No need, mate, I've already written the song out in my head. How soon will I get the cheque?"

Most of the videos I found on YouTube just had the second half of that performance, for some reason.

 

Whiskeytown - Not Home Anymore

 

Is Strangers Almanac the definitive alt-country album? Most people would say no... I would say ... maybe! It's definitely my favorite Ryan Adams-related album, that much is sure.
