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

[Slap Shot]

Listened to a Conan podcast episode with Dave Grohl, Krist Noveselic and producer Steve Albini talking about the making of In Utero at Pachyderm Records in Cannon Falls. Some very cool stories I had never heard before.

Saw Mudhoney live for the second time on Sunday night. There's an extra fine point on "Fearless Doctor Killers" and "Please Mr. Gunman" as of late, and Mark knows it. The opening act, Hooveriii (Hoover 3) was also quite good. The venue this time was bougier and the crowd less into things, but the tiered standing room was nice, as was the lack of thrown beers and moshing (yeah I'm getting old).

Peter Murphy - The Prince & Old Lady Shade. Gotta be one of his best songs of the last 20 years.

Nina Simone - The Pusher. This is ridic good.

Zappa writes a genuinely catchy pop song.

My Discover Weekly playlist from Spotify was certainly interesting this week. There is usually a trend that permeates most of the songs and this week had both new and old artists with the mix being quite interesting. Not my all-time favorite list but it was good to step out of my immediate wheelhouse for a few hours. A few sampled:

-The Turtles
-Marth & The Clams
-Flo & Eddie
-Martha and the Muffins
-Dennis Wilson
-The Bats
-Nico
-NRBQ
-Roy Buchanan

This song in particular was a highlight. Python Lee Jackson & Rod Stewart

Rodrigo Y Gabriela - Austin City Limits. There isn't a full version on YT but if you can find the episode it's a fantastic performance.

Age 42 is quickly being defined by the Indigo Girls, Melissa Etheridge, King Princess, Peach PRC, Julien Baker, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, and boygenius.

The Donnas Spend the Night. One of the best rock and roll albums of this century.

Morris Day & The Time - Prince Tribute

I became the right age (sort of) just as the Minneapolis Sound and alternative music exploded. I was lucky enough (and determined enough to take the bus from the burbs to the city to go to shows with a fake ID quite a few times) to see all these bands/artists play at 1st Avenue in the 80's: Prince &TR, The Time, Soul Asylum, The Replacements, Sheila E, The Suburbs, Tina & The B-Sides, Babes in Toyland, Husker Du, The Suicide Commandos, Curtiss A, The Wallets, The Flaming Oh's and on and on. It was a glorious time to be a local music fan.

Beach House - Bloom

University profundity, but if you ignore the vacuity of the pose and just let it wash over you, it's a nice shower.

And, hey, Wayne Coyne loves it, and the dude who did Yoshima can tell me anything and I'll believe it.

Their lyrics are definitely not that intricate, but I feel the same way about the music. I can hear why Wayne would be a fan, and there's a bit of Cocteau Twins meets Cigarettes After Sex meets The xx thing going on that I'm on board with.
