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

[Kepler]

Theory: Piano Man is set at a gay bar and everyone is gay except for the Piano Man, and they're all taking bets on when he'll figure it out.

If he didn't after Davy he never will.

Hard to argue...

Never tire of Keith Jarrett.

Always loved that performance. Loved Hall+Oates, til they went too pop in the mid-80's.

Unsurprisingly, that's when they became most popular

I always thought these guys were garbage and then one of them started a video cast from his music studio where he has all these legitimate musicians in and he's actually really good.

Classic example of an act with supernova talent who went dumpster diving with a lot of lame pop because that's where they keep the money. Half of Ronstadt. Queen. Muse. Prince. Lightfoot. etc.

Unlike those guys, though, if there's a single non-cringe H&O song, I haven't heard it.

I'm not a big H&O guy, but man when they fit the mood they really fit.

Simpatico (coffee shop I frequent) had this on the radio today. My parents LOVED this song and if I understand it, it was one of the first anti-drug songs.

The Eagles released Life in the Fast Lane and people takes them for glorifying cocaine. The band replied to the allegations, asking them if these people actually listened to the song. The coked out couple have nothing but troubles after hitting the road.

Son Volt have a new album out and goddamn it's wicked!! How awesome that Jay Farrar this many years later can still produce great music.

Also Prince's new album Welcome 2 America is very good but it took a few listens through. I'd be curious to read up on when most of the songs were recorded. The dude apparently has thousands of songs in his vault so posthumous albums are going to happen for years. If whoever's in charge does as well as they did on this one I will not complain about the money grab.

This morning it hit a billion. Have some more.

Paula Cole, Sheryl Crow, Melissa Etheridge, Alanis, Garbage, Courtney Love, Shawn Colvin, Lisa Loeb, Natalie Merchant solo, kd lang, and so many other good ones.

Was hanging out over at my daughter's yesterday and her husband played some Black Pumas. Check 'em out.

These guys are great - highly recommend!

Listening to the first 3 Arcade Fire albums this morning.

Still so, so good. "Wake Up" is a masterpiece.
