I credit her, perhaps wrongly, with almost singlehandedly jolting us out of that juvenile, slightly crunchy, "acoustic music is the only music" doldrums. We owe a lot of the innovation we've seen in popular music over the past decade to her and her collaborators.teh l4m3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10982909927895165627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1138384141611698202006-01-27T12:49:00.000-05:002006-01-27T12:49:00.000-05:00Otto, believe it or not, that "Mah Na Mah Na" song...<I> Otto, believe it or not, that "Mah Na Mah Na" song is originally performed by Giorgio Moroder. </I><BR/><BR/>Well, if it's by a man named Giorgio and not a muppet named Scooter, then maybe it is a little cool after all.Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1138383589994518772006-01-27T12:39:00.000-05:002006-01-27T12:39:00.000-05:00Otto, believe it or not, that "Mah Na Mah Na" song...Otto, believe it or not, that "Mah Na Mah Na" song is originally performed by Giorgio Moroder. How 'bout that?<BR/><BR/>1. "Unsatisfied," Nine Black Alps -- Not a cover of the Replacements song. This sounds like a more rockin' Cracker. 7/10<BR/><BR/>2. "Spoon," Can -- I don't understand why this is the last song on Ege Bamyasi, and not the first, but whatevs. The song and the album are great. 9/10<BR/><BR/>3. "Do Right To Me Baby," Bob Dylan -- I dunno if Christian Bob is ironically cool or not. This song isn't especially interesting, either way. 6/10<BR/><BR/>4. "Get Down On It," Kool & The Gang -- This reminds of one of my birthday parties when I was a kid. 4/10<BR/><BR/>5. "Come On," Chuck Berry -- This might be my favorite song of his. 9/10<BR/><BR/>6. "Saveship," Josh Rouse -- I have no idea why I've got this song, and somehow I sense it isn't all that cool, but it's rather enjoyable overall. 6/10<BR/><BR/>7. "Outside," Primitives -- In high school, I was listening to stuff like this instead of Black Flag. Deduct four points. 2/10<BR/><BR/>8. "Happiness Is A Warm Gun," Beatles -- This is probably one of their highest scorers for the purposes of this exercise. 7/10<BR/><BR/>9. "White Cotton Panties," Spalding Rockwell -- Sleazy as the title suggests, but is electroclash still cool? Was it ever? 7/10<BR/><BR/>10. "Rivers of Sound," Fennesz -- Waves of relaxing, staticky feedback. Ahhh... I love this stuff. 8/10<BR/><BR/>Bonus: "Endorfun," LCD Soundsystem -- I have already forgotten hearing this song. 7/10<BR/><BR/>6.54TravisGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983759326735259021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1138382470185713392006-01-27T12:21:00.000-05:002006-01-27T12:21:00.000-05:00Whoa. iRod, believe it or not, I was singing "Tomo...<I> Whoa. iRod, believe it or not, I was singing "Tomorrow's Dream" to myself in the shower this morning.</I><BR/><BR/>Think unsexy thoughts .... think unsexy thoughts ....Otto Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14051682366565874144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1138368522505250472006-01-27T08:28:00.000-05:002006-01-27T08:28:00.000-05:00Whoa. iRod, believe it or not, I was singing "Tomo...Whoa. iRod, believe it or not, I was singing "Tomorrow's Dream" to myself in the shower this morning. <BR/><BR/>Sorry for putting that image in your head.

You, sir, are funny...A chick he met at Burning Man. You, sir, are funny.<BR/><BR/>Okay, I streamlined my music collection here at work some, so get ready for a distilled dose of rockin' great tunes!<BR/><BR/>1) Siberian Khatru - Yes. I'm not sure, but I think "Khatru" means gettin' jiggy with it. 10/10<BR/><BR/>2) Burden in my Hand - Soundgarden. In my top 2 or 3 from these guys. 10/10<BR/><BR/>3) Dominion - Danzig. This is from Danzig 4, which ain't no Danzig 3, which ain't no Danzig 1 or 2. Still, I find myself involuntarily flexing, so it must be good. 7/10<BR/><BR/>4) Put You Down - Alice in Chains. Dammit! Another awesome tune. Chorus line might have been written about Delay-Abramoff: "I don't need you, I just can't put you down." 10/10<BR/><BR/>5) Harold Land - Yes. Off their first album. Now that I'm listening to old-school Floyd as well, I'm starting to wonder just how much these guys ripped each other off. Harold Land - Arnold Layne, anyone? 10/10<BR/><BR/>6) Lookin' Out My Back Door - CCR. I hear Jeff Gannon loves this song. 8/10<BR/><BR/>7) A Saucerful of Secrets - Floyd. Speak of the devil! 6/10<BR/><BR/>8) Angry Chair - Alice in Chains. I much prefer a Lay-Z-Boy. 5/10<BR/><BR/>9) Let's Get Rocked - Leppard. 'nuff said. 6/10<BR/><BR/>10) Mr. Crowley - Ozzy. What a way to finish! You know anyone else who used "polemically" in a song? I didn't think so. 10/10<BR/><BR/>Another great week for me, and for America. <BR/><BR/>5)Thrillhoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082092153634900636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13930960.post-1138368297224971442006-01-27T08:24:00.000-05:002006-01-27T08:24:00.000-05:00This album cover is more depressing than that one ...This album cover is more depressing than that one with Joyce on it. I'll try to pick the somber mood up a bit.<BR/><BR/>1) Carry the Zero - Built to Spill. Yeah! This is how you start a Friday with trademark BtS. A slow, melodic beginning developing into an guitar chord frenzy. 8/10<BR/><BR/>2) Supersonic - Bad Religion. One mintue and 46 seconds of melodic neopunk fury. 8/10<BR/><BR/>3) Dusty Nothing - Dead Meadow. My latest favorite band here. Like Zeppelin and Yes and Black Sabbath in a blender with an And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead garnish. This isn't their greatest song, but it sure is loud and mushy. 8/10<BR/><BR/>4) The Weather - Built to Spill. What a great FRT this is becoming! My second BtS song. This one doesn't rock as hard, but I still love them boys. (I was hoping for I Would Hurt a Fly.) 7/10<BR/><BR/>5) Anthem - Groove Collective. Here's a change of pace to a nice funky groove. This band always makes my toe tap and my mouth smile. 8/10<BR/><BR/>6) Tomorrow's Dream - Black Sabbath. Yeah! Sabbath! 9/10<BR/><BR/>7) Familiar Love - William Shatner. Juxtapositions don't get much weirder than this. Satanic heavy metal followed by lounge cheese. This is not the best song off the great "Has Been." 5/10<BR/><BR/>8) How to Be Perfect Men - Songs: Ohia. My last new favorite band doing one of their best tunes. Filled with quiet desperation. Nobody rocks out with acoustic guitars like this. 9/10<BR/><BR/>9) New Favorite - Alison Krauss & Union Station. Fine band, but this song is just too chicky. 4/10<BR/><BR/>10) Pints of Guinness Make You Strong - Against Me! No way will a song with this title receive less than an 8/10<BR/><BR/>I rock, and I'm so thirsty now. Does Dunkin Donuts sell Guinness at 8:00 in the morning?InanimateCarbonRodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12247895134217919954noreply@blogger.com
