September 9, 20169 yr Just got the new Nick Cave on MP3's, need to listen, might throw on my headphones at work, haven't done that in more than a month....
September 9, 20169 yr It's very, very dark. As might be expected due to the tragic death of his teenage son during recording. I find it quite hard to listen to. Suspect you may have a similar reaction given your own recent experience. There but for the grace of God go we all ...
September 9, 20169 yr Been binging hard on Krautrock at work this week, in particular Kraftwerk and Neu! For whatever reason, I've had a very productive week. [Insert witty line about German efficiency here]
September 9, 20169 yr I need to pull out my early Kraftwerk (1, 2, Ralf und Florian, and Organisation).

September 10, 20169 yr 3 hours ago, TMoney said: Heck, pull out their entire catalog. I listen to their later stuff all the time. To me, there's an abrupt dividing line between their early, Krautrock material, and their later, synthpop material. That dividing line was Autobahn. Side one signified the beginning of their synthpop period, while side 2 was the last remaining dregs of their earlier, more "electro jam band"/friends getting together and just making random tunage phase.
September 11, 20169 yr I've always been a sucker for polished/well-produced stuff, so while I prefer their later catalog I understand where you are coming from. Tonight's listen. Dorothy - ROCKISDEAD. I like it. Edited September 11, 20169 yr by TMoney
September 11, 20169 yr That's exactly what I like about synthpop. There is something pure about synth tones.
September 11, 20169 yr Jack White got fairly emotional starting at the 2 minutes mark during "You've Got Her In Your Pocket", which is one of my fav White Stripes songs. I didn't know this was out, but between this and the new Wilco, I may have to buy some vinyl for the first time in a few months. **BRENT**
September 11, 20169 yr ^ I kind of dig that he uses an old Army issue guitar too. Why I think that's cool, I have no idea. Was listening to this oldie earlier. For you youngsters who thought Kenny Rogers was just a Country singer (Country was actually his 4th (genre). He was in the Jazz trio The Bobby Doyle Three, Then the folk group The New Christy Minstrels, before some real success with The First Edition. Oh yeah, and a few Country hits too. My favorite psychedelic rock song when I was about 10... Edited September 11, 20169 yr by swt61
September 11, 20169 yr Quick quiz...Does anybody recognize the drummer with The First Edition? He went on to have a pretty solid career of his own, though maybe not in music.
September 11, 20169 yr Kaiser Chiefs -- Stay Together Have always enjoyed their cheeky chappie-ness. And respect for blagging a day at the racetrack to shoot the video!

September 17, 20169 yr ^^^ Nice....haven't listened in years....have you tried Maria McKee's solo stuff? I have her first 2 somewhere in my collection.....
