The Music Thread : It's So Easy To Fly Through A Window

Pitchfork had nothing but typically snooty comments about it.

I think it's funny.
 
I don't care for Weezer but that is such a great album cover/title.
 
A few years ago my mom got one of those Time-life collections called AM Gold. It's a series that runs from 1962-1979 - a disc for each year then a ton of compilations like early 60s, mid-60s, etc. that seem to collect extra stuff they couldn't fit on the year-based discs. There are about 35 of them altogether - she had around 12 or so of the discs and I found a torrent containing the rest of them.

Soon after I organized and converted them I started the laborious task of listening through each and ever disc. Laborious because, while I grew up on and love 60's pop/rock, the 70s discs are almost impossible to sit through. It's all crap. Once in a while you get a rock song or two but many of them are terrible pop/soft rock. It really is some of the worst music ever made. The 70s were terrible for music. Pop, anyway.

I'm almost done. I've got about 5 songs left and I'm finishing them up tonight. I'm so proud of myself.
 
So funny story.

I just got into the Beatles less than two years ago. I had heard a lot of their earlier stuff (I wanna hold your hand, a hard day's night, etc) but none of their later (and better) stuff. So I bought Beatles 1 probably a year and a half ago and listened to it through and fell in love. The first time I listened to Lady Madonna, I thought to myself, "this song kind of sounds familiar..." and found myself wanting to insert the line "Got to find the reason that my money's all gone" into the song. But much to my confusion that line isn't in the song.

Fast Forward to today: I was listening to some old 90s stuff and "What I Got" by Sublime came up and that line ("Got to find the reason why my money's all gone") was in the song. And then I realized that the song has the exact same melody as Lady Madonna. Sublime unabashedly stole the tune to Lady Madonna!

That's all.

I had never heard that before, but you're right.
 
Well of course I'm right...
:roll:


and by the way, you were clearly listening to the wrong 70s stuff.

Get some Simon and Garfunkel, Michael Jackson/The Jackson 5, Queen, the Who, Boston, the Eagles, the Police, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, the Grateful Dead, etc.

Although, the only artist there I would classify as pop is Michael Jackson.

I grew up on that stuff. It's what my dad listened to all the time.

I love The Who - I saw them during the Quadrophenia tour in 1997.

Anyone heard the new (upcoming) Neil Young album? Good stuff.

I listened to Eric Clapton's upcoming album and it pretty much bored me to sleep.
 
Look who's in the new My Chemical Romance video...
Grant friggen Morrison

Ok, I have way too many different artists on my computer to list them all. My friends say I such a wide variety of music that they can't get a clear view on what type of music I really like. The true is I pretty much like all types of music. When I use to buy just cds (i.e. before they sold them on the computer) I use to, mostly by Soundtracks cause you'd get a variety of different artist.

But anyways, some of the stuff I would get is score for movies and video games. I kind of interested in knowing what (if any) scores you have.

I found a new CD I'm really digging right now. The band is called Malachai and the album is called "Ugly Side of Love". It's one of the best genre mashing up jobs I've heard in a long time - there is a major 60s thing going on and it sounds fantastic. One of the songs uses what seems to be the entire instrumental track of "Hand Me Down World" by The Guess Who.

If I ever met you, I would pay you to sit through my computer and organize my music. I don't have hardly the patience you have. You must a be the Patron saint of Music or something.


Also, I saw the Toadies last night in exchange for sleep and sanity. It was totally awesome though. And I discovered another band called the bright Light Social Hour which is an Austin orginal band. If you like pop, funk, gospel, alt rock fusion (and they do it well), give these guys a listen. If you like the old 90's grunge rock, hit up them Toadies.
