USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

for reasons unknown I really wanted to hear some hair metal tonight

Rock of Ages or Photograph by Def Leppard. I used to own the vinyl but I lost it sometime during my last couple of moves. Went to itunes...no dice. Evidently Pyromania is not on itunes for whatever reason.

So...I'm settling for a couple of tunes by Faster Pussycat and just imagining the decadence of the L.A. scene circa 1986-88...

I have little shame in listening to the hair farmers anymore. I enjoy it for the cheese-fest that it is.

You could do a lot worse than Faster Pussycat - ever hear "Mr. Lovedog"? Taime Downe's tribute to Andrew Wood.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Faster Pussycat and White Lion are better than they should be/are given credit for. I say that with no shame.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Currently Alice Cooper for me. "Hallowed Be My Name" is brilliantly catchy.

Earlier I rolled through a couple Alter Bridge albums. Best band of the last decade for me, and they've gotten better with each release.

White Lion, no. They always sucked.

Faster Pussycat, maybe.

This. White Lion was ****ing godawful.


Wait... Wait... I never had a chance... :rolleyes:

Always ****ing hated them and I liked some metal from that era.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

I put in Night Ranger and Aldo Nova every once in a while for a guilty pleasure. But on the whole the genre sucked balls.
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

On a predictable 90s hip-hop kick after watching SOC over the weekend.

Warren G - Regulate... The G Funk Era (right now)

Dr. Dre - The Chronic 2001

MC Ren - Kizz My Black Azz

Eazy E - Eazy-Duz-It

Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang

The Wash Soundtrack

N.W.A. - Straight Outta Compton


In and amongst those, I listened to several Phish and Grateful Dead shows while on the deck or working in the yard.

Also did some Marley and The Movement and Lefty at the Washout.


I'm nothing if not all over the place.

This'll be waiting for you at the end of More Songs About......................

My local radio station played this last week, and it just reminded me why I love Talking Heads so.

And you really should give this a listen. If you're not a fan of dance, then you don't have to watch it, but the score is terrific.

The Catherine Wheel, score by David Byrne. My favorite track from it is probably Dense Beasts, Brian Eno on bass. .

I would subscribe to your musical newsletter.

I've been on a Carol King binge lately. Not her performing (she is ghastly) but her and Gerry Goffin's music done by others. She wrote half the great song of the 60s, including the best song about teen sex from the girl's POV, the best song about being young in New York City, and the worst song about domestic violence. (From the Comments: "This song makes Trent Reznor's lyrics seem healthy.")

Speaking of teen sex from the girl's POV, I heard this recently and preferred it to the original. (Though the latter is still brilliant.)

She wrote Up On The Roof? My lord, I'm shocked.

My musical newsletter would not be that interesting. I'm not that experimental, not that open to new stuff, I'm highly opinionated in that what I like is good, and other stuff sucks, and I'm for the most part, stuck in the 80's.

And if you don't like The Replacements, you're dead to me. And on that note.............................

That's how you start off a record.

King and Goffin wrote pretty much everything.

I'm OK with The Replacements. I'm not in the cult, but I don't dislike them.

I'm not sure I have a "like or you're dead to me" test. Maybe Gang of Four.

Cross-post from the movies thread.

Color Me Obsessed.

So Saturday was Record Store Day, and though I couldn't really afford to spend some cash, I wanted to at least check out the scene. So I headed down to the big city(Portsmouth, NH) to Bullmoose Records, whose owner is the guy who started Record Store Day. And yeah, I was good, I held back from spending money I don't have. Until I hit the music dvd section. And since with my Bullmoose card, I could get it for half-price, it was mine.

A documentary on The Replacements, my favorite band, and as one of those interviewed says, the best band in the world. No music, no pictures of the band, no clips of them performing, just people who were there at the time sharing stories about the band and what they meant to them. Simply AMAZING documentary, of the band, of that point in time, of the Minn-St. Paul music scene. I say again, just amazing. I've gone through 3+ hours of stuff, and have still to watch the bonus features or listen to the audio commentary.

Now it got me right away, as the opening credits scene uses a flyer from the late great Boston club The Channel, which just coincidentally enough, is the place I first saw The Replacements back in 1986. There''s also a ticket stub from Boston's Opera House, where I saw them on the Don't Tell a Soul tour. And an interview with members of the Boston band The Bristols, who I saw open for Joan Jett, and loved

I cannot say enough how much I loved this film. If you're a Replacements fan, or even an early 80's music scene fan, a must see.

This made me chuckle.

The older I get the more music I like. I'm pretty much accepting of all genres now except post-1970 country, post-Ornette Coleman jazz, and whatever autotuned girl bands are.

I used to be on top of the music scene, as far as new stuff, even if I didn't like it. Now? Notsomuch. Stuff that is a year or more old is fairly new to me, at best. Some of it is the lack of listening to radio, some of it is because the stuff just doesn't get played on the radio. As far as genres, some outlaw country is making it back into my repertoire, even if the artists aren't new. I just never heard them/listened to the stations that played them (example: in the last couple of years, I've become a huge fan of Church and Hank III).
 
Re: USCHO Music Thread 3: They Heard Me Singing

Ray LaMontagne - Ouroboros

New direction for Ray. I've heard people say that he's gone in a Floydian direction with this. It's spacey and atmospheric, but it's kinda one-note to me and awfully mellow.


Now listening to Ice Cube - Amerikkka's Most Wanted

Quite the contrast in albums this morning and Cube was just what I needed to wake me up from LaMontagne's snoozer. :)
