Klaxons Atlantis to Interzone Crystal Castles remix
You people are old. You should not express your thoughts out loud.
Back in early 80's, I was in a heavy metal band... I liked it alright, but had a problem because the chicks who jumped on me smelled funny. And so I quit the band and traded my leather pants and spiky bracelets for a pair of light blue jeans, Nikes and a jacket with rolled up sleeves and hit the disco floor where girls looked pretty and smelled like flowers.
Crystal Castles is an enormously important band. This remix is an exxxaguration of sorts.

This is a GREAT CD. If you are a Phish fan you owe it to yourself to listen to this. Speaking of Phish, Trey Anastasio was unfortunately arrested again last week. This time it was for drugs – pain killers, Xanax, etc., and not underage girls.

That may be the funniest thing I've ever read here.........

I had the same reaction, but was going to leave it alone....
GA and Cali, I fully realize many people here aren't in to the Foo Fighters and that's why I made the point. And, no, you won't find me in a mosh pit at one of their concerts. I certainly could have worded it better, like "Realizing many would never consider listening to the Foo Fighters, this is one you might want to try." Really, people who like James Taylor could like this album. I find music is like wine. Best appreciated when you take it in with an open mind, and occasionally you will be rewarded with an unexpected surprise.
Hey, you're talking to a guy whose soundtrack to the walk with the dogs this morning was: Steely Dan, the Grateful Dead, Soundgarden, Commodores, Wayne Shorter, Notorious BIG, another Steely Dan tune, another Grateful Dead tune, Kool and the Gang, and Stevie Wonder.
I'm all about open minds with music.
And, though I wouldn't necessarily call myself a fan, I never disliked the Foo Fighters, either. But, the comment was still quite humorous.

- Nortec Collective - If you have any interest in world music and electronica, check these guys out. they went around Tijuana and sampled all the old Nortejano musicians and then created a totally new style combining those samples with modern electronica instrumentation. really interesting. 87 pts.
- Blind Willie McTell - Classic Delta Blues. 98 pts just for the history, and for making it 90 years and still being relevant.
- Blind Faith - Sea of Joy. Classic Rock at one of its high points. 90 pts.
- RJD2 - The Dead Ringer. really great electronica/hip hop. 87 pts.
- Bob marley - So Much Things to Say. What a genius. Not the best of the best, but no one can compete with Marley. 92 pts.
- Garcia Grisman - Acid hippies meet bluegrass. fantastic. Classic. 100pts.
- Harry Belafonte - Man smart, women Smarter. Classic, genre starting. 93 pts.

Dog Walk Shuffle (The name of Ted Nugent’s next big hit?):
[LIST]
Garcia Grisman - Jenny Jenkins
Very roughly plagiarizing the New York Times, Jerry Garcia's voice gave every song he sang the air of an old American Standard to which everyone should know the words. Combining that voice with Appalachian bluegrass and old New England Sea shanties makes for a truly amazing set of albums by these two. 100pts for the band, 87 for the song.
D’Angelo – Alright – A great mix of Classic Soul, Modern R&B and Hip Hop. D’Angelo wrote and produced every track, and plays every instrument and signs all vocals on the album (I believe even the backup vox) You have to really be into R&B to dig this one, tho’. 86 pts
Harry Belafonte – Jump in the Line - Previous Dog Walk Shuffle Comments Apply. 90 pts
Neil Young – I Believe in You 90pts
Phish – the Horse - Beautiful Song, if short. 90pts
Weezer – Only in Dreams – I think a highly underrated band. Kurt Cobain once said that all Nirvana songs could be classified as “Slow Fast Slow.” Weezer is definitely in the “Slow Fast Slow” camp, and is without a doubt Pop rock, but it’s the kind of Pop Rock that explodes in your mouth and sticks in your brain all day. 90 pts
Steely Dan – Only A Fool Would say That – The height of Steely Dan Lounge. I think this exemplifies a characteristic of good Steely Dan that I like to call “Nectar Music.” It sounds like sweet liquid that just flows out of your speakers and fills the room, so eventually everything around you is just bobbing away, and nothing is as angular as it was before the track started. 92pts
Muddy Waters – I feel Like Going Home – Listening to Muddy brings me back in time…I can almost feel myself sitting as a fly on the wall in the studio during the King Biscuit Flour Hour, during a time in the south when the guys singing the blues were the real deal, and when they went home to their rundown shacks on the outskirts of town the most likely went home to people who could still remember the United States pre-emancipation. Hot, sweaty, sultry, southern delta blues. 95pts
Old and In The Way – Intro - See Garcia Grisman.
Steel Pulse – Roller Skates – Steely Dan of reggae, lounge reggae. Interestingly, I believe they were the first non-Jamaican reggae band to top the reggae chart. 86pts
Weezer – The World has Turned and Left Me Here 88pts
Grateful Dead – Cosmic Charlie Trippy, man. 93pts
Soundgarden – Face Pollution - Arguably the greatest result of the Grunge movement, Soundgarden is also the only “Grunge” band that is really still relevant today. 91pts
Steely Dan – Charlie Freak – One of the saddest songs I know. And the messaging is quite apropos to the “Inattentive Shelf labeling” thread, in a way. 95pts

Super Audio CD. Most regular CD players can't play them, but I've had a DVD-Audio system in my car for a couple of years (DVD-A is even better) and so I bought a system for my home as well. Hearing great music in digital surround (5.1, 6.1, and now even some DVDs in 7.1) is a treat, though some stereo purists will deny it.
Sounds awesome, especially for a classic like DSOTM. What about tee 'Live in Pompeii' DVD, that must be even more intense!
But, being totally deaf in one ear, it all sounds like mono to me.
Sucks, having been a musician my whole life...only happened about three years ago, too...

I really like surround sound, but it's still a pretty small market, so the selection isn't great. I've had trouble finding either SACD or DVD-A releases in stores, so I ordered a whole bunch from Amazon last Sept. and they're slowly (and I mean SLOWLY!) arriving, with weekly e-mails from Amazon saying everything is back-ordered. But at least they come through eventually.
Most of the surround sound discs that I bought are music that I already have, but enjoy it all anew in this format. Classical music, especially, is impressive; like sitting in the orchestra.
Steve, I still refuse to throw out my vinyl, even though my wife thinks I'm nuts. I haven't put on an album in months, just because of the minor hassle in turning them over. I also taped most of my records on cassette the first time I played them, so that I could listen to them in the car, and then ended up playing the cassettes in the house too, so a lot of albums are in great shape.
Remind me to play you the entire Vanilla Fudge album series next time you're in town.

I think you're right. I might have heard that before. I should look into finding out what equipment is needed to wire a turntable to the computer, and I guess there's software that will convert the signal to digital.
It's an excellent suggestion for me, CaliCab. Thanks!

Anyway, if you haven't gone running off, screaming like a little girl at this point

Cheers!

P.S. I am truly curious about your vinyl collection. This isn't merely an overt attempt to contact you because (clearly) I'm smitten with your persona. Is it "smitten with" or "smitten by"? Darn, I missed that day in school too. Gack!
Seaquam and Cali, I converted all my vinyl to MP3 a few months back. I have wireless media adapters that I use to play all my MP3's over two different systems. I also have ripped my 60+ concert DVD collection to MP3 as well. So cool to be able to pick different live versions of songs to listen to. To rip vinyl, download this free program ( http://audacity.sourceforge.net ), and get a mini-plug to RCA adapter and plug your computer sound card into a receiver connected to a turntable. Easiest to record a whole side and then go back and split the songs up. The program then converts the uncompressed recording to MP3. Takes some effort to split the songs and type in names, etc., but people cannot believe they are listening to vinyl when I play it. And I now actually play them as I had my turntable relegated to a third system in my study. Seaquam, I have many SACD's and DVD-A's but, unfortunately, the formats seem to be dying off. Very few new issues on DVD-A, and SACD's are limited now mostly to classical and some jazz. Get Hotel California on DVD-A, as the mix is awesome. Also, the Eagles Farewell Tour DVD is the finest sound mix and resolution of practically anything I have ever heard.
No special software. You just need to get an RCA to mini cord (or an RCA cable and an RCA to mini converter) and plug the turntable's out jack into the mic in on the computer. That, of course, is assuming that your turntable has RCA jacks.
Then get an audio editor for the computer (I use Cool Edit Pro) that you can record on. If you want to really get into it you can get all kinds of EQ software and remastering stuff, it's pretty amazing. Of course, there are all kinds of D/A converters you can buy, but it's pretty unecessary if you're just looking to burn an audio CD.
Check out The Music Shareware Machine for all kinds of free and semi-free audio programs. They have sequenceers, audio editors, EQ, audio restoration, everything you could need.
Of course, you won't find anything as robust and functional as something you have to buy (Like Cool Edit) but there is lots of great stuff. I'd love to help you out if you want, just give the word!

Ha! Vinole, we must have been typing at the same time...
Cali, I don't believe you can plug a turntable directly into the sound card as the signal from the stylus is very weak and has to be equalized and amplified by a pre-amp. Maybe there is some software that compensates, but I think it is safer to go through a receiver.
You're right.
If you have a line in on your soundcard, it could probably work, but I did say mic in. Thanks for the correction!

Vinole and CaliCab-- thanks for all the info. Now here's your challenge: convert all that PC mumbo-jumbo to some plain, simple Mac OSX talk. You know, plug and play. No soundcard stuff, just the easy USB-port instant connection. That makes it accessible to my head. I know there's probably an RCA-USB adaptor, and I guess the ground lead can attach anywhere, but after that I'm a little reluctant to dive into the deep end.
Vinole, I have Hotel California; bought a lot of the standards in the last few months (Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Elvis' Greatest Hits, Marvin Gaye, The Band Last Waltz & Big Pink, etc. etc., whatever DVD-A I could find online) because I really like the surround sound, esp. in my car which has an excellent system. Loved driving through the Canadian prairies a couple of years ago blasting Neil Young Harvest while the sun was coming up.
Just a skosh-- I believe it's "smitten with." "Smitten by" is what happened to the Amalekites when the Hebrews came to town, or some such Biblical heeby-jeeby like that.

Ha! Ha a Ha! That was really really funny.
there is no such thing as a RCA to USB connector. One is an audio cable and one a computer cable. Thst would be like trying to plug a USB cable into your stereo speakers.
But, even in Mac world, there should be an audio in on your computer. You just need to plug into that and record on teh PC using some of the software we mentioned. Once it is in te digital domain, you can burn to CD as you always would.
that's probably no more clear...I'll try again tomorrow after I don't have most of a mediocre bottle of cab in me!

- The Shins – One By One All Day
- Garcia & Grisman – The Handsome Cabin Boy
- Poncho Sanchez – Out of Sight
- Poncho Sanchez – Hitch it to the Horse (fantastic Latin jazz, inspired by US soul and funk. Think James Brown meets Tito Puente)
- Grateful dead – Dire Wolf (Great example of Jerry Garcia’s aptitude on the Pedal Steel. many don’t know that he was a common session guy for lap steel, most recognizably on CSN's Teach your Children)
- 100% handmade Bluegrass - Orange Blossom Special
- Steely Dan – Midnite Cruiser
- The Real Live Show – Everytime (The Real Live Show is a band I discovered in teh village one night when I wandered into a hip hop club. very smart and lyrical hip hop, backed by a huge live band of rotating players. People will get up and play and sit down, and drummers will swap out, and there will be two bass players and a guitar than 2 guys on keys and one bass and horns, and co0nstant motion. really a great show, they've been trying to break into the industry for a while now, no idea how far they have gotten)
- The Decembrists – Clementine (Alt Rock Brit Pop meets Sea Shanties. Interesting stuff)
- Simon & Garfunkel – The Only Living Boy in New York (Gorgeous)
- Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto – Desafindo/Off Key (Bossa Nova at its greatest, this time with a French guy singing.)
- Grateful dead – And We Bid You Goodnight
- Birth - 2Pho (I cannot say enough good things about birth to enough people. This is one of the most innovative, musical, and fascinating bands I have ever heard in a lifetime seeking out innovative, musical and fascinating bands. You have to be into avant garde stuff, and you have to be looking for something to push boundaries, but these guys have it. It is a mix of experimental jazz, metal influences, a healthy dose of drum n' bass, house and downtempo beats, and so much else. Sax, bass and drums, hands down the most incredible drummer I have ever heard in a guy named Joey Tomino, who is he's now in a band called Dub Trio on ROIR records. This stuff is really on the edge - my wide thinks it's noise - but it just floors me every time I hear anything off any of their albums...)

Excellent music and in case you don't know, they are from Portland, OR. I liken them to a cross between The Pogues and King Crimson.

We used to have a local group pretty similar to that. They were called Berth.
Their lead singer was a physician during the day. Everyone just called him Dock. He was better than most of his piers.

DOG WALK SHUFFLE 2/10/07
- RJD2 – 2 More Dead (RJD2 is a DJ in the post-modern sense of the term, in that he is an electronic musician who uses breakbeats, samplers, synthesizers, sequencers, etc. to create music. This is especially slick hip-hop with a lot of production value, but what sets RJD2 apart from the crowd is that he actually mixes a dose of musicianship in as well – songs are structured well, are varied, and have an actual melody and direction, unlike much sample-based electronic music which is just a repetition of a groove for 5 minutes with some sound effects to differentiate one bar from the last)
- Nortec Collective – Revu Rockers (This is the North Mexican electronica group who use live samples of Norteno and tejano musicians from around their hometown of Tijuana)
- Coldplay – Only Superstition (Yeah, I like Coldplay. Does that make me a 20-something sorority chick? I can deal with that. This is from their indie-released demo. Rougher than their subsequent Capitol Records releases, but you can already easily see where they are going.
- The Commodores - Too Hot ta trot (Simply put, along with Earth, Wind and Fire, The Commodores are one of the greatest party bands of all time. I almost listened to Lionel Richie’s late 80’s albums just out of deference to his earlier work with the Commodores. Almost.)
- Howlin’ Wolf – Sittin’ On Top of the World (The Wolf is a classic, and his growl has yet to be beat.)
- Preservation Hall Jazz Band – Original Dixieland one step (As a jazz and blues guy, and n admitted music snob, I had always read book after book talking about the old Storyville days in New Orleans, and the origins of jazz and blues, and the tradition and history and culture of that city. I hadn’t been until May of 2004, so my expectations were high, to say the least. After wandering the French Quarter for three drunken nights in search of something that would at least give me a taste of old New Orleans Jazz, I had only found bad Stones cover bands, a few fair R&B and Soul groups, and one great little jazz club, but I arrived 10 minutes before the last set ended. So the next night, I headed out to Preservation Hall. I spent a solid 3 ½ hours there, listening to the Olympia Brass Band, and it was spectacular. The place just oozes history, even tho it was built n the 60’s, it just feels like it is from the 1800’s. And the band was great, and had a lot of fun, and it was an all around great time. No booze, no cigarettes, no talking, you just sit and listen to the music. I was there for three sets, and it was just what I needed. They ended the night with “Saints,” which no New Orleans musician wants to play, and the whole place got up into a mock parade and marched around the place dancing. I don’t care if they do that every night or if the place is a tourist trap, it was a breath of fresh air and capped off a fantastic trip to one of my favorite places on earth.)
- Coldplay – Sparks (More polished, major label release)
- Dub Trio – Sick Im (Live) (This is the new band for the drummer from birth I mentioned yesterday. They are a drummer, bass and guitar who play live, improvisational dub. Pretty cool stuff, I would assume even more so if you’re some rave kid tripping on ecstasy)
- Buena Vista Social Club – Dos gardenias (Most people are familiar with this. From IMDB: “Aging Cuban musicians whose talents had been virtually forgotten following Castro's takeover of Cuba, are brought out of retirement by Ry Cooder, who traveled to Havana in order to bring the musicians together, resulting in triumphant performances of extraordinary music, and resurrecting the musicians' careers.” This is from the album that ensued. Really wonderful Cuban jazz, and the last time you’ll hear anything from most of these guys, as they were in their 70’s, 80’s and 90’s when it was recorded in 1999.)
- Jurassic 5 – Jayou (What I like to call “intelligent” hip hop. Not because they say smart things, or because they don; swear, but because they are a throwback to the origins of the genre where the lyric and voice was used as a rhythm instrument, as a drum, almost. Listening to them rhyme, the stresses and rhyming sequences are written so that the words have an actual beat, and the cadence itself adds dimension to the music, even if you could take the meaning of what they are saying out entirely. It helps that they don’t talk about guns and hoes and drugs the entire time, but that isn’t the only reason they are a breed apart.)
Got an acoustic playlist going on the wireless media adapter. Smashing Pumpkins, Jack Johnson, Foo Fighters, Sister Hazel, Incubus, Fuel, The Cure, and CSN, to name a few. Acoustic always shows true talent.

Memory twitch: one of the guys I carpooled with at university had an 8-track deck with only 2 tapes; one was Court of the Crimson King. I didn't like it to start with, but I came to genuinely hate it after a few weeks. It was usually played loud with extra distortion for my "benefit." I can't even see the name King Crimson written without getting a shudder.
Smokey Robinson will be appearing at a local club Feb. 3, and we've been contemplating going. I loved his sound, but after being disappointed by the Temptations in their revival (only 1 original one still with them) show I'm not so keen on having another good remembrance shattered. It will be a Miracle if Smokey can still hit those high notes.
Seaq, the King Crimson I listened to was not that era. I may be older than Spo, but not that old.
Gone was Greg lake, replaced by Adrian Belew and the music became funkier. Bill Bruford was the drummer. In fact Robert Fripp was the only common member between those two eras. The albums were called Beat and Discipline.

W+A, I have not gone over to ipod yet. I rarely download albums. I like having the packaging, liner notes etc.

iPod is a must!
If you travel at all, it is wonderful for music, movies, podcast etc. Helps sitting at airports, planes and such.
It also is becoming a major tool in business. A podcast to recruit talent from college is a must. Just hired 6 interns. A great way to secure students.
You can still buy your CD, just download what you want.

I have a Creative MP3 player that holds about 10 cds. I use it when I travel. Not in the airport though. I only when I am away from stereo and cds.
iPods rule for relieving the tedium of workout sessions! I try to put together a different mix every week - almost makes exercise fun... almost.
