|   Anybody listen to any good music last week? | Dumbo
Dec 3, 2002 9:57 AM | | I did. Got the new Beth Gibbons (Portishead singer) album with Paul Webb from Talk Talk who is assuming the name of Rustin Man for this album. Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man <i>Out of Season</i>. Very nice album. Really hard to describe. Take some Joni Mitchell, some Sandy Denny, a lot of Nick Drake (there's even one song called simply Drake), a little Marianne Faithfull, some Billie Holiday and maybe a little Tori Amos and what do ya get? Beats me, but I like it a lot :-)
Listened at least once or twice to the new one from Tori Amos. Still really loving this. Does anyone else think it sounds a lot like Fleetwood Mac (and Stevie Nicks) sometimes? Maybe it's just me :-)
Definitely spun the new Voyager One <i>Monster Zero</i> disc a few times. One of my top albums of the year. Space walking shoe gazers, the best of both worlds :-)
Also had the Low <i>Christmas</i> album out from a few years ago. Love this one. A combination of traditional and original Christmas songs done in Low style. Little Drummer Boy made it onto a Gap ad a couple years ago. The opening Just Like Christmas sounds like a classic Christmas song to me.
And of course Neko Case <i>Blacklisted</i> got in a couple spins as did Sixteen Horsepower <i>Folklore</i> but I've already talked enough about those favorites.
Maybe a few others and some good comps but that's enough to get it started. What about you?
you can call me Davey, Dave, dbi, Dave I, Dumbo |
| Well, there's this . . . | Troy
Dec 3, 2002 10:25 AM | | The Salvador Dali cover's the best thing about it. |
| "Dumbo"...I like it! :-) | RPM
Dec 3, 2002 10:30 AM | | You and our buddy Allears should get together for a listening session (keep the volume down though).
Last week, hmmm, (thinking)...
comps:
3 from Brazil:
1) "Another Weird Mix" (not especially weird, but good actually)
2) "Compliments From Brazil" (a collection of local stuff from Demetrios homeland...highly recommended!)
3) something else I haven't gotten to yet.
"Nov. '02 Mix" from a mysterious ex-RR'er turned acoustic guitar afficienado.
hmm...(still thinking)...musta been more than that!? |

Dec 3, 2002 11:26 AM | | Hey, mC:
How's that "Burning For Buddy" tribute CD?? I've almost picked it up a couple of times & pulled back, last minute.
Can you give us some description, pls??
Thanks
audiobill |
| Buddy can U spare a review????? | MasterCylinder
Dec 3, 2002 2:57 PM | | If you like the Buddy Rich Big Band type of tune then this will fit.
All of the drummers are surprisingly "swing" adaptable.
Most are very good. None suck.
You will dig it -- but only if you like big band swing.
The band (other than the drummers) is the Buddy Rich band. |
| nope, just stuff like Sixteen Horsepower's <i>Folklore</i> (nt) | Stone
Dec 3, 2002 11:22 AM | | Actually, I'm starting to warm up to it a bit. |
| Heheh, I noticed that wasn't on your best of 2002 list ....... | Dumbo
Dec 3, 2002 11:27 AM | | yet :-)
But it was nice to see Neko right up near the top along with some other faves of mine like Neon Golden and YHF. Cool list :-) |
| It's a work in progress. | Stone

| cheaters never prosper | Rae
Dec 3, 2002 11:56 AM | | Hey, don't you guys realize that I have barely enough time to read this board, let alone <i>other</i> boards?? Put all yr posts in one place, dammit! <img src="http://www.cmj.com/ubb/wink.gif">
I'm going to hold off on my year end list for at least a few weeks yet. I still need more time with some stuff I have, and I don't even own aome of the heavyweights like Beck, Sonic Youth, or <i>Read & Burn 01</i>. So y'all will need to be patient.
~Rae |
| but it's still fun | Stone
Dec 3, 2002 12:17 PM | | The main reason I posted a top ten list over there was because a few people had posted lists and stated they were having trouble coming up with 10 good ones, and when they did, the lists included 2001 releases. So I got a bug up my butt about it, and since I was working on my list already....
That certainly wasn't my final list - I'll probably buy 5 or so more 2002 releases yet. I'd like to wait until mid-January to give my final list.
Oh, and yes I do post on other boards, but I mostly lurk and consider this to be my "home" board. And you don't have enough time to post because YOU'RE CONSTANTLY AT SHOWS, DUDE. :-)
Stone |
| I'm just an occasional lurker | Dumbo
Dec 3, 2002 1:20 PM | | but I'm registered as Davey and have posted a couple times, nothing recent. It's kind of a young crowd over there.
I'm pretty much done for the year and even if I did get something else it probably wouldn't get enough listening time to make my list in the next two or three weeks.
Hey, speaking of EPs, if you were a reviewer and wrote for a respected magazine, something read by more than a handful of indie hipster elitist types, how would you handle something like the under 20 minute Wire EP? Would you rate it against other whole albums or would you consider just how it would stack up against the best twenty minutes of those albums? I mean, a person could edit Source Tags & Codes to a helluva 20 minute EP, but as a 46 minute album it isn't nearly as strong. Same with many other albums (Yoshimi comes quickly to mind). Just curious since I saw that Stoney had it rated very high on his list. I'm thinking that it would have to be derated because of its brevity. But maybe it's good enough to overcome that (dis)advantage? |
| it's sure <i>priced</i> like a full-length. (nt) | Rae
Dec 3, 2002 1:39 PM | | @#$% |
| My copy was priced very reasonably | Davey
Dec 4, 2002 10:22 AM | | Somewhere between free and no charge.
Hey, I was listening to that getoutandseesomebodywithabigass collection and it's pretty good, in fact really good. Thanks! Nice job. Kind of daunting in a way, such a varied and eclectic collection of talent spread across two discs with a combined 45 songs. I find it a little tough to listen all the way through a disc without a break when there are that many different artists making such different sounds, but a very cool collection nonetheless. Do you have any friends that make it to as many shows as you? |
| If I may | maf
Dec 3, 2002 1:39 PM | | I'd treat 01 & 02 as one entity, combined it's close to 40 minutes, I'd guess.
I haven't bought very many '02 releases...fifteen maybe Read & Burn 01/02 would probably make my personal top 5 though.
Mark
NP: D.Kilgour |
| I'm all Wired up now | Davey
Dec 4, 2002 9:34 AM | | Thanks! Got the disc yesterday and just finished listening to the first EP section (even though it's still a little early here for punk :-)). Tough to keep from smiling when you listen to it :-) |
| Brevity roolz | Stone
Dec 3, 2002 6:08 PM | | So if you <i>could</i> make a kick ass 20-minute EP, but put out a 46-minute album that's <i>good</i>, whose fault is it? What, your contract with Interscope says you have to put out a full length release? Oh well, you shoulda thought about that before you signed on the dotted line (assuming you wanted to put out an EP in the first place). I'd rather have a great EP than a good album, even if I don't get the bang for the buck. However, I do generally enjoy full lengths more, and respect them more when it's something as good as <i>Yankee Foxtrot Hotel</i>, for example. But sometimes I listen to an album and think, "Man, they should have cut out tracks [fill in the blank] and just put out one hell of an EP."
I enjoy brevity, especially when it's as good as <i>Read & Burn 01</i>. Most year end lists are full lengths only, and my eventual top 10 list here will be only what I consider to be full length albums. If I were writing for an indie hipster rag and wasn't restricted by guidelines like the album having to be a certain length to be on the list, you can bet your sweet ass <i>Read & Burn 01</i> would be on the list.

Dec 3, 2002 4:05 PM | | ...we were just making fun of it in another thread. :") I actually noticed it was out (I mean, how often does a new Boston album come out?), and was going to mention it, asking, "how did this one slip by us?!?!?" |
| How is that Boston? | celticbob
Dec 3, 2002 4:18 PM | | Not bad.Definitly got that "Boston" sound.Better than the "Walk On" disc but not as good as the first 3.I can't get used to them having a female singer on some of it?!? Brad Delp is the ONLY singer for them IMO.Worth picking up if you got the rest. |

| Did you see that Trans-Siberian Orchestra... | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 4:08 PM | | ...put out a sequel to that? I'll be getting it, eventually, it may even end up on my best of 2002 list, and boy will those other balls-less guys be sorry that they did their lists early. |
| Nope, I just have the first two Christmas Releases | Jim Clark
Dec 3, 2002 7:27 PM | | but if there's a third, I'm game. Thanks for the heads up.

| Please tell me more about Trans-Siberian Orchestra | ForeverAutumn
Dec 4, 2002 7:55 AM | | They are playing at Massey Hall in Toronto on Dec. 17. |
| OH my ! | Jim Clark
Dec 4, 2002 10:53 AM | | I honestly figured you'd already be the expert. Right up your alley-no question. State of the art hard rocking prog Christmas music.
OK, the best endorsement I can give it is that I'm not a progger. I've listened but found very little I can enjoy and even I realize that this is good.
We're cutting it pretty close but I'd be more than happy to burn some for you, just need your address. I'd put a rush on it for you. Honestly, I think this stuff is made for you.
you can email me at Jimclark@Everestkc.net |
| What he said, pretty much... | DustyChalk
Dec 5, 2002 11:32 AM | | ...big, majestic, loud screaming guitars, orchestra. Lots of Christmas tunes. I would definitely go if I were you.
In fact, you may want to surprise yourself, and just go, without hearing them first. Some of my favourite concerts are the ones of which I had no expectations. |
| Not a bad idea but... | ForeverAutumn
Dec 5, 2002 6:41 PM | | tickets are in the $40 - $50 range. If tiks were $10 (like Porky Tree was) then I would consider it, but that's a pretty expensive night if the band sucks.
The Metal radio station that I listen to is playing ads for the show and giving away tickets. I never noticed the ads before yesterday. Maybe I'll spend some time listening to the radio this weekend and try to win me a pair. |
| Call Me | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 3:58 PM | | I actually heard that Gibbons album in the store. Quite good. But I would hardly call the electronic effects subtle.
There's a Simian track on the new CMJ/NMM sampler, and I'm getting it on the strength of that one track, and memory telling me that I liked the first album.
Low <I><B>Christmas</I></B> "album"? I only got a three song EP... :-(
Cheating a little bit -- Deadsy and <I><B>...Topographic Oceans</I></B> are in the player right now, haven't finished listening to them yet:
<IMG SRC="http://gallery.consumerreview.com/webcrossing/images/20021203.jpg">
Oneida -- this is some intense $|-|!+
Iron Lung Corp. -- guitar industrial, surprisingly good, a keeper, 's'got some catchy tunes on there, considering they haven't been at it in a while (...or have they?).
Sleepless -- OMG, LOTW, this is really good. Fits right in with my recent bout of Anathema and other dark prog metal who expand beyond their boundaries.
NBT -- good ol' techno. Nice bass on there.
Spirited Away -- great background music to a great film.
Grandaddy -- Yeah, it hits me sort of like a concept album, too.
Keith Jarrett -- a god. Haven't been able to get enough of him, lately.
Siouxsie and the Banshees -- I'm actually not that familiar with them, so this was a good intro to me. I've always liked "Cities on Flame" or whatever it's called.
Phish -- finally got to hear this version of Talking Heads' <I><B>Remain in Light</I></B>. Kinda sucks (especially compared to the original), but not unlistenably so. The rest of the album is surprisingly good, with interspersed whackiness (this is my first Phish album, per se). One note, though: it seems someone made the mistake of telling this guy that he missed his calling as a storyteller. Trey, dude, no you didn't. That story about General whomever and David Byrne and the mockingbird made no sense whatsoever. Just shut up and play your guitar. I suspect Troy would like these guys (in the Zappa vein of combined whackiness and technical ability).
Nat -- got this mostly for the cover, what a hotty. But the music doesn't suck in a contemporary over-produced alternative way which I like so much.
Voyager One -- trippigazer? I like it! Yah, this pretty much epitomizes space rock.
Sustained in Jade -- another group of power-proggers. Saw them open for Crack the Sky the other night, and they were awesome. As were Crack the Sky, as always. I didn't realize just how Italian John Palumbo is. Didn't do "Slipping into Darkness" this time (bummer -- I really need a recorded version of their cover of that), interspersed the finale' ("Hold On"/"Surf City", as it always is) with snippets of Beatles tunes (they've always been huge Beatle-heads) -- "USSR", "Daytripper", "The End", etc. And they are so tight, that the transitions back and forth were absolutely seemless. Of the new songs that they played, I liked "Zoom" the best. Reminded me a little bit of their version of "Slipping into Darkness", as if that song spun out of this cover.
Controlled Bleeding -- these are really good albums, from their dub/ambient period. <I><B>Our Journey's End</I></B>, according to <A href="http://www.ssmt-reviews.com/">Satan Stole My Teddy Bear</a>, is sort of a rehash, as is some of Inanition, but I really liked them. Not typical ambient dub. <I><B>Our Journey's End</I></B>, for example, is really much too "busy" to be considered truly ambient or dub. But that's typical of them -- always doing their own thing.
Sounds of Techno -- classic techno, in the Praga Khan/Jade 4 U vein.
Yes -- listening to it now, Yes!
Deadsy -- bunch of corpses. Raising the not-dead image of Gary Numan. Does begin to sound a bit samey, but I really like it -- it just sends me to the basement of this one smoke-filled bar where the DJ's would spin stuff like this.
Angel's Delight 3 -- bunch of goth/industrial/synthpop/darkwave/etc. type bands with lead female vocals. Excellent listening, |
| ...I won't call you | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 4:00 PM | | Angel's Delight 3 -- bunch of goth/industrial/synthpop/darkwave/etc. type bands with lead female vocals. Excellent listening, not a clunker in the bunch, IIRC.
Can -- very cool stuff. I especially liked the middle couple of long songs. (Sides 2 and 3, presumably?)
Lacuna Coil -- leftover from last week. I love this EP. Demetrio beat me to it by including "Falling" from here (but that's rather easy to do, since I don't do comp's), and the rest of it ain't bad, neither.
Off-image:
Apop B - 7 (remastered version) -- I guess you could get used to it if you never heard the "O Fortuna" version, but...that's not me.
CMJ/NMM -- will start a separate thread for this. I listened to several of these, and one, in particular, I want some second opinions of. (Webb Brothers, etc.) |
| wha, wha, what??? | Jim Clark
Dec 4, 2002 7:06 AM | | Aren't familiar with Siouxsie? Well, OK. Just a little surprised I guess. I don't have them all, yet, but I do have most. Actually this is the band I'm most afraid will release remasters and it will cost me a fortune because I will buy them all. Sadly, these are among the most in need of a remaster. On most of the CD's the analog hiss is just sitting there as part of the music. A shame really. My only rec would be to grab Hyaena for sure-NO QUESTION about it. The rest are truely awesome but Hyaena is in a class by itself. As an added bonus, the sonics aren't in complete disarray on this title.
Deadsy-it's OK and I really like Mansion World but all in all it merely shows what the band is capable of but didn't live up to on the remainder of the disc. Possible exception to Grammercy Park. Seems odd that the son of Cher and Gregg Allman would go this route, at least to me.
Good point on Apop's 7. I really don't get anything superior sonically from the remaster. The original version you sent me is the King. Thanks again.
Someday I also need to sort through the "Coil" bands. Seems there may be quite a bit there that I'd like:
Coil
Recoil
Lacuna Coil
This Mortal Coil
And Icon Of Coil, which I already have and really like.
jc |
| I know... | DustyChalk
Dec 5, 2002 11:41 AM | | ...I surprised even me on that one.
Coil -- weird stuff. Some of it you will like, some of it you won't.
Recoil -- definitely. Especially <I><B>Bloodline</I></B>. His later stuff is good, too, but a little more experimental. The first one (<I><B>Hydrology</I></B>) is all instrumental, and could probably be filed under the recent "electroclash" movement.
Lacuna Coil -- methinks you would like. Will send you a sampler.
This Mortal Coil -- no idea. Very airy and "Projekt" and you could very well find it boring. I grew up with the stuff, so that's different. |
| Beth Gibbons electronics | Dazed and Confuzed
Dec 3, 2002 4:17 PM | | You probably pay a lot more attention to the effects than me, but some songs are all acoustic in a real chamber orchestra type setting. She is vocoderized on occasion which is certainly not a "subtle" effect :-) I'll have to pay more attention to the keyboard stuff next time but it doesn't seem to slap me in the face so I call it subtle. You know how obnoxious those keyboard guys can sometimes be, don't you?
:-) |
| For sure! They...I mean, we... | DustyChalk
Dec 3, 2002 4:22 PM | | ...HEY!
:-)
Actually, I was talking about her voice. They do a lot with it. More than just vocoderize it here and there. That's all I meant. But that was with one listen, and I definitely listen to effects/production. So I'll have to get it and listen to it again. Thanks for the pointer (on where to buy), BTW. |
| Lots of world/electronica fusion | J
Dec 3, 2002 4:49 PM | | Just what I like, right? Hey, I sold more than 150 CDs on Ebay over the weekend & when I research them in my listing process, if AMG (a dubious source, I know) gives an indication that I'll like something, I'll give it a listen. I mean, their writers probably use crayon, judging on their rating system at times, but I have stumbled upon a couple cool things based on their descriptions. I can't get with the house stuff, but if there's even a shred of artistry, I'll try to at least keep an open ear. And the truth is, I like a lot of the Brazilian stuff, even some of the French stuff. Some of it borders on acid jazz, but what the hey. Recently: Da Lata, T.J. Rehmi (a bit new agey, but good for when the mood hits ya), Anubian Lights, Batidos, a couple of others. As well as plenty not worth mentioning. A Pizzicato Five rec I like a lot of stuff on, and an Everything But The Girl rec that I think flat-out stinks. An album by Naked Music NYC that was mostly "downtempo house," with one great great song on it. A friend tried to get me to listen to someone named Craig David, & I threw him out of my house. But he played me the Interpol rec, which I think is real good, though of course it's even more derivative than Beck, way more derivative. Still, what's wrong with a carbon copy of Joy Division so long as it's good? Nothing beyond the gnashing of teeth at the thought that probably at least half their audience have never heard Joy Div recs. Then he turned me on to this band Clinic, their rec's real good, too, dang good alt pop. A GREAT GREAT GREAT hip hop album by a guy I don't think anyone's ever heard of--MC Paul Barman. Outside of Eminem, this here's the BEST rap rec I've heard in like 10 years, I swear. It's hysterical. He drops rhymes with references like Nietzche & Al Hirschfeld & there's a Dylan-like acoustic gtr toon & a kick-ass, A-side quality track called "Cock Mobster." Anyone who doesn't hear this is being cheated, and if you want to badly enough, email me. Another good rap rec, not quite as good as Paul Barman, but definitely up my alley, in the real older-Beasties sort of way--Ugly Duckling. Actually, there's a prominent Beastie Boys sample on that record, and they've got that nasal Ad-Rock/Cypress Hill/Pharcyde vocal presence that I've always enjoyed. And then I've been hitting that Moog Cookbook rec heavily lately. The versions of More Than A Feeling & Hotel California are the only listenable versions I've ever heard (except the one in The Big Lebowski, natch). |
| I like Anubian Lights... | DustyChalk

| eBay vs. Half.com | Masonjar
Dec 4, 2002 8:14 AM | | any thoughts? I've sold quite a few cds on Half.com because it's much easier, but do people generally pay more for cds on eBay? I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble.. I'm going to start unloading my 2nd wave of cds.. no more $1 promos that never sell, I think those will just go in the trash! lol :-)

| eBay vs. Half.com | J
Dec 4, 2002 9:37 AM | | A lot of the people on Half.com ship via media mail. I've never been thrilled with that method of shipping & always send first class--but they seem to charge about as much on Half, by & large, as I do for 1st class shipping. I make about a dollar on shipping above postage, which covers my costs for listing, the cut Ebay takes on the final sale, the cut Paypal takes, the cost of the supplies--mailers, labels, etc. I split the final price of the auction with my friend who supplies me with the CDs. So in the end I make very little, which makes what I do not worth it to anyone who's got a real job. But more than that, I think Ebay's great for determining the true value of an item--at least for someone who's not a dealer. Less than half the stuff I sell sells for only a buck, I usually average more than $4 a pop, and that includes the ones that only go for a dollar. But the bottom line is, I have no idea what the value on most of these is until I see the final price on an auction. That's really what makes Half.com not viable for me. I just had a Bob Marley & the early Wailers collection go for only $2.99, which was my opening bid; only one person bid on it. I would've thought it would've gone much higher than that. Then I had a CD single by some outfit I never heard of called Da Buzz. Based on the cover--I didn't listen to it--it looked along the lines of Nu Flavor or I5 or something like that--a real fresh-faced looking group of popsters. I didn't see anything on AMG that indicated that they'd done anything that made a ton of noise. The single sold for $24.00. Go figure. You don't benefit from two motivated bidders going against each other on Half.com. It's probably easier for people with a real job, though--provided you know what it is you've got. Most of the time I don't. But hopefully I'll be working before long & won't have to be doing this anymore. I enjoy it, but it really is a ton of work for very little money in return. |
| eBay vs. Half.com | Masonjar
Dec 4, 2002 12:03 PM | | the one way to guage the value of something on half.com is just to watch it.. start high, and if it doesn't sell, just drop it.. the good thing about that is you can have an item sitting there for literally weeks and then suddenly someone will buy it. I think I'm going to stick with half.com just because it's nice to get a monthly payment and you don't have to worry about lost payments. I always use first class so I usually end up paying less to ship the item than their shipping allowance. thanks for the info.
