I have seen the movie about the Wall. I love the cartoons from it and
The puppets that appeared in the concert. They were freaking badass. He also updated some of the themes too match some of the troubled times we live in. And I had forgotten exactly what was said at the beginning and end of the album.

No, not the movie. The actual concert from Feb 1980 at Nassau Coliseum in NY.

Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Echo and the Bunnymen - Songs to Learn, Ocean Rain, Porcupine & Self-titled - set on shuffle.

That's the way the bee bumbles...


I remember Ian ragging on U2 and Bono (specifically) in the mid-80s saying that they weren't as good. How'd that work out? Still like some Echo every once in a while though.

Feels like a Turbonegro day. Apocalypse Dudes is up first. Then probably Scandinavian Leather.
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

Mentioned this in another thread, but --

I've been listening to Solomon Burke's album "Nashville." Solomon was a soul singer in the mid-60s, most famous for "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love," which The Blues Brothers covered. In 2005, he did a country album, and it's an accomplishment. It reminds me how blues, country, soul, swing, rock, rockabilly, etc., all used to simply be people singing songs, influenced by other people, and not worrying (so much) about which format they fit into.

I searched out some of his work after you posted that link in the Lodge, and I've ended up buying his Very Best of and the Hold On Tight albums. The last one he recorded with a group from the Netherlands called De Dijk, translating into English some of their hits from the last 30 years. It's interesting more than anything, some hit and miss tracks in there.

Garbage - Not Your Kind of People. A bit poppy in spots but overall pretty good. Not their best record but better than Beautiful. If I had to rank them 1) Garbage 2) Bleed Like Me 3t) Vers 2.0 3t) Not Your Kind of People 5) Beautiful with separation between 3 and 5.

For Spiritualized fans: FYI - There's a relatively new podcast of a show in the NPR section of iTunes. It's over 2 hours, so is probably a complete show.

Must get as the show at 1st Ave last month was incredible.
 
Re: What's on your Playlist? USCHO Music Thread

For the past week or so I have been listening exclusively to Rush.

do you have Clockwork Angels? IMO, it's their best LP since Moving Pictures front to back. Pretty incredible that at roughly 60-years old these guys can A. Maintain their chops (though I suppose jazz guys can play into their 80's so why not?) and B. still write great songs and have something to say with them

I just downloaded it last night. Typical Rush and I like it so far. Headlong Flight is a great tune.

The Youngbloods - Live in San Francisco 1970

Never listened to these guys before and only knew their song "Get Together."

Pretty good live album.


Next up: Just got U2 - U22 which is a live 2 disc compilation from the most recent tour. Selections were voted on by fans and it was released exclusively through their website. (EDIT - previewed a couple of tracks and it should be very good :))

U2 - U22


So good. Halfway through. Wish these guys would have put out more (any) live albums over the years. It's a cliche but especially true with this band that their songs become more than what they were when played live.

Luckily the bootleg trading community for U2 is, and has always been, extremely robust. Now with torrent sites, virtually everything that has ever been traded is available if you look for it.

Still tough for even the best radio broadcast bootleg to equal an official multi-track recording though.

Hearing "All I want is You" with Bono adding some snippets of INXS lyrics.


If you like U2, find a way to get this...
