What are you Listening to?

....and last but not least, this absolutely killer album from 'Kurt & Courtney'.....

I did like that album a lot but in the end felt that Kurt didn’t let Courtney rock enough. This year’s CB is better IMO.

Anyway, just found this cos I don’t get in the Lounge much. Good work, people.

Last week was my birthday and I took the opportunity to get a leave pass to Dave Graney's afternoon show at the Croxton.

Clare was playing with an all-girl 3-piece as the opening act and I’m all "lol, the drummer is easily the best musician in that band". Then Dave and the MistLY came on and I’m like, "there’s no shame in the drummer bein the best musician in your band if it’s Clare Moore." She’s so good. Just drives the sound of that outfit.

The other thing that happened for the birthday was the appearance of a reconditioned 1973-vintage Pioneer PL-12 turntable. So I can finally play the vinyl we picked up on our recent southern US trip (New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis). Sound great.


Thursday night is Zydeco Night at the Rock'n'Bowl ...


Nothing quite like Preservation Hall ...

 

[RobZombie]

Country's not normally my bag, but Third Man Records in Nashville is pretty awesome. They have a whole stack of albums recorded in store.


Picked up The Shins. Going to have to mail-order Bill Callahan since they hadn’t finished producing the final album.

 

[RobZombie]

Damn, there’s so much in Memphis. Random EP we grabbed from the "Memphis" rack at one of the record stores (was even a picture disc once I opened it!)

And yes, I was That Guy who had to listen to Highway 61 Revisited while driving down Highway 61. In my defense, having spent the previous day in the Civil Rights Museum and getting a fresh appreciation for the civil rights upheaval of the '60s, then reflecting that the record came out in '65, gave it a bit of extra context.

Saw Shonen knife last year at the NGV when a friend had some last minute spare tickets. Rawked!

You lucky zombie!

I listened to "Penny Lane" walking down Penny Lane so you're forgiven.

Given it's Dylan, I guess it's not that much of a coincidence...but I was actually listening to 'Infidels' earlier today....

Random....

And it appears one Matt Johnson song wasn't enough to appease the footy and music gods re an announcement on Gaff.

So, gods, I humbly offer you another.

(This one with the magical powers of Johnny Marr to help get it over the line sooner rather than later.)

Cool band, Groggster.

Been on board ever since the first long-player. Not sure if "new bands" means you haven't had a chance yet to explore their back catalogue yet, but can highly recommend the stripped-back but gorgeous debut, and I'm a big fan of the sophomore album 'Awayland', too. Actually the one before 'Art Of Pretending To Swim' is a cracking listen, too.

Two thumbs up, man.

Just new for me mate.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll definitely be checking those out.

Anyways, just came here to post this....in hope....as a joint offering to both the footy and music gods alike.

May today indeed be the day.

First line of that song is the last 20 pages of the trade and free agency thread.

 

[ferball]

Although if the announcement is tomorrow the Slow Train to Dawn is probably more appropriate.

I'm so out of touch I just found out they are touring and just played at the opera house.

This song is also about Gaff.

And here it is:

Sing it, Andy!....

Here's the companion piece, kind of.

I waited for something, and something died
So I waited for nothing, and nothing arrived
It's our dearest ally, it's our closest friend
It's our darkest blackout, it's our final end
My dear sweet nothing, let's start a new
From here all in is just me and you

 

[Snake_Baker]

Dedicated to you know who

Was in the Coles in Sunbury yesterday and someone was running around in a Stiff Little Fingers shirt and it made me think of some prick in WA:

Arguably his best lyrical work

Here's another


And one from the album Rattus Norvegicus
