USCHO Music Thread: We All Have A Crush On Shirley Manson

[Kepler]

Seeing Fishbone tonight inside a tiny cement cube. It's been nice having the power of hearing but nothing lasts forever.

At home, recovering from surgery.

Can't go wrong with Missy and Run The Jewels.

TIL a great bar bet. The location of the waterfront in the original of "I Cover the Waterfront," which was a newsman's diary before it was a book before it was a song before it became a jazz standard.

Everyone will guess NYC, Chicago, New Orleans, or, if they are very clever, Los Angeles. And you will take their money.

It is San Diego.

Not strictly music but I highly, highly recommend The Mischke Roadshow podcast episode where he talks about his days on the radio

God it's good. He intersperses clips from the old shows throughout. Man, I miss him on the radio.

Saw Ed Sheeran tonight with my wife. I was very impressed with how much music can be played by a dude with an acoustic guitar and a looper. Would 100% go back to see him again.

Excellent stage setup. When he was playing acoustic only, the stadium actually sounded half decent. Once the boomboom started it was normal US Bank Stadium and we're almost glad we didn't get Taylor Swift tickets.

off to red rocks in a couple weeks to see Nathaniel Rateliff.

The Xcel Center has Lionel Ritchie and Eath Wind & Fire tonight. That explains why I was the young man on the street as I walked to Burger Moe’s tonight.

Not only is this a better performance than the one in Oakland a year later, but it was them telling to the Rolling Stones to kiss their arse.

Santana, he wasn’t the guitarist of Woodstock era but it was a great show just the same. Crowd was pumped the second he stepped out . They opened with Soul Sacrifice and ended with Smooth. Fun night.

Public Image Ltd - Metal Box. Listened to this again for the first time in a long time. Still holds up. Swan Lake from that album.

Imagine being in London at that time along with Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Clash, The Damned, The Cure, Siouxsie...

Just checked out The Sheepdogs. Got a bit of an older Black Keys meets CCR meets the Kinks vibe. Pretty cool stuff.

Saw Steve Vai in a 500 seat theater last night, I can see why Frank Zappa made him a member of his band just out of Berkelee. The guy is out there( just like Frank was). I’m on the fence, liked some of the stuff, others not so much.

Headed to see Santana tonight, can’t wait.

Taylor Swift gave out 55 million in bonuses to the folks with her on this tour. 100 grand to truck drivers. How the **** much money did her tour gross?

As of two weeks ago, her tour had grossed about $300MM at an average ticket price of $253.

Her impact on the economy is about $5 billion, per the Philadelphia Fed’s office.

Probably late to the party but The Sheepdogs started showing up on a Pandora station I have. From Canada but could easily be mistaken for a band straight out of Georgia in the 1970s. Good southern rock feel to them. Claim Allman Bros, CCR, CSNY, Zeppelin, and Stevie Wonder as influences of their style.

Also new Wilco album coming out Sept 29 so excited for that. Seeing them in Salt Lake in October (will be my 3rd Wilco/Jeff Tweedy show within a year). Really looking forward to hearing new stuff live.

Will check out the sheepdogs,

I've been listening to a lot of female jazz vocals from the 50s and 60s. I have some annoying EdgeLord observations. Would you like to hear them? Good.

3. I only like Ella when she's with Armstrong or Ellington but then I love her.

Try her with Joe Pass.

Depends. This sure isn't.

Jesus, Leiber and Stoller could write.

Yeah, that's pretty sweet.
