Scritti Politti -- White Bread, Black Beer

 

 

David Slusser - Delight At The End Of The Tunnel

 

 

Meredith Monk - Atlas

 

 

Okkyung Lee - Noisy Love Songs

 

 

Wanderlust - High Duchess

Looks like Tzadik.

 

Me:  going back and forth between Echolyn's new one (just released the other day) and BBT's most recent, in anticipation of the upcoming concert.  Probably putting Roger Waters' Amused to Death high-res remaster at some point this weekend.

 

All three in 24/96.  

Lil' Dicky - Professional Rapper

 

Middle class white suburban Jewish comedic rapper who's done some pretty funny stuff. His album dropped on Friday. 

First track off this album ft. Snoop Dogg - "Professional Rapper"

 

First song I'd heard from him, which is called "White Dude", and it's amazing.

 

"White Crime"

 

I figure the 25-35 crowd will be amused, and no one else. Colin excluded, of course.

**BRENT**

Looks like Tzadik.

 

 

Indeed.

Where to start with John Zorn?

Some material is just way to heavy and chaotic for my tastes, but love stuff from his filmworks albums.

Alhambra Love Songs

IOA

The Dreamers (1)

... are easy, accessible wins.

metallica - load

 

for the riffage

finally got around to buying this

 

Been going back and listening to old showreels of Knucks'.

Agalloch - Marrow of the Spirit

Over and over again. "Black Lake Niðstång" rocks my world. Methinks Marrow of the Spirit is vastly underrated.

Muse.

 

Melody Gardot - My One and Only Thrill

Goddamn easy to obsess over her voice.

Muse -- Showbiz

Crown prince of the Oud, Mr. Anouar Brahem. Conte Le'incrovable Amour. 

Absolutely mermerizing. 

I've listened to this literally 15 times since I heard about it on Tuesday. It's a cover album of songs written/performed by, as you may have guessed, males.

This is my current favorite song:

 

 

**BRENT**

I <3 Natalie Imbruglia.  Imbruglia might be the greatest last name in the history of last names. 

And I think I heard one of these songs the other day!  I distinctly remember thinking, "wow, some female singer didn't change the lyrics, good for her -- I don't know if I could do the same" (want to cover Tori Amos some day).  I'll give it a listen, see if I can remember which song it was.

Me:  Knucks' set from earlier this evening

Dusty, it's probably "Instant Crush" by Daft Punk ft. Julian Casablancas.

I didn't realize what it was until I heard the chorus and I was like "wait, what? I know this song, I think, but... wait, what?!?!"

Then I googled and realized it was as cover album. And then I put it on repeat. Thank Satan I don't usually listen to lyrics or I'd probably be <3 broken.

**BRENT**

Just listened to it -- nope, not that familiar with it.  It was the same situation though, I only vaguely recognized it until they got either to the chorus or to the blatantly male line.  Will listen to the rest of the album.

EDIT:  It can really only be one of a couple songs -- Friday I'm In Love, Let My Love Open the Door, or I Melt WIth You.  Unless I don't recognize the song name.
