Meister Jag Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 If you'd like summit different for the weekend, try this: & Deal's Gone Bad are from Chicago, Illinois. Their sound mixes reggae, rocksteady, and ska music with American soul. With apologies for the use of cut 'n' past but I got into this band a while back and their current lead singer, Todd Hembrook, is the real deal. As good a voice as anyone past or present. P.S. Hope the links work ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Ender Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 If anyone's about Glasgow on the 2nd Dec(Stereo) or Aberdeen(Blue Lamp) on the 4th and fancies going to see this mob Peter Stott Band ...then PM me and I'll send you the details. There is an Edinburgh date on the 3rd but it's being filmed and the tickets are v. limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy davie Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 Stand Up - Jethro Tull Rock on. I've been listening to that album for the best part of 40 years and it's as utterly brilliant now as it was when I first heard it. Can't really imagine anyone saying that in 40 years time about Dizzy Rascal, Tiny Temper, Florida, M and M, or William. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted November 9, 2010 Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 Groove Armada - White Light Actually very very good. Trust them to come out with this as a last effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meister Jag Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Plan B: The defamation of Strickland Banks. Take away the rapping and the soul is really very good. Think my kids thought I'd lost it when I bought this one but defo' worth a listen; especially if you like Northern Soul, Motown etc. Wee taster: Ticks all the boxes for this auld Mod!

Meister Jag Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Dexy's Midnight Runners: Don't Stand Me Down. Perhaps my favourite ever bonkers nut job ego trip in music. Bonus points, if you like that kind of thing, for the preppy outfits, and a wee bit of plagiarism when he borrowed a Warren Zevon riff on "One Of Those Things." Funny thing about this was that he slagged off Adam Ant in the album and then went onto write with him. F*** knows what they wrote and if it was ever recorded but it must have been a meeting of unstable minds given that AA was sectioned and Rowland was later canned and bottled off stage when he strode on wearing full stockings and suspenders garb.

Bonus points, if you like that kind of thing, for the preppy outfits, and a wee bit of plagiarism when he borrowed a Warren Zevon riff on "One Of Those Things." Dexy's finest moment ever that album :worshippy: . Flopped (they say) because 3 years had passed since the mass-sales of TooRyeAye and the various singles, the media didn't get it and slagged it rotten and the recordbuying public had moved on and forgotten about the band. But to this day, 25 years on, it is a masterpiece of beauty and brilliance, lyrically and vocally Rowland is at his best. Never Ever Tire of this album. Anyone who likes music, should buy it.

Never knew about AA and KR writing together - i'd love to hear the demo's if they even got that far. As for KR's crossdressing stage - musically and visually, his lowest moment ever. What was he thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them on the Renfrew Ferry and they played 'Searching for the Young Soul Rebels' from cover-to-cover plus a few others. Great night out. Even took my 18-year old along and he enjoyed them too. Will try to find out a bit more about KR and AA. I agree, a totally bizarre writing partnership. They were probably only allowed crayons at the time of this collaboration!

Hadn't come across DBR, but will be making the effort to see them live asap - SFTYSR as well as TRA and DSMD are 3 unique and excellent albums in their own inividual rights and would be right into seeing (even a covers/tribute act) performances of these albums in their entirety or a set pooling various tracks from each - thanks for the tip-off MJ Anything you can dig up re KR&AA collaboration would be of interest to me. To add: just done a bit of searching (for the young crayon rebels) - seems a song "If you keep on" was cowritten by the two of them in '89 and appeared on the 'Manners and Physique' album (released 1990). Not one I think i have in my collection (but have loads in various boxes, rooms, corners of the universe, forget all i have at times) but will check or try track it down - but still curious to know more indepth info on their time together writing and what (else) may have been worked on (to possibly never see light of day).

Meister Jag Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Frank Black and the Catholics eponymous debut album. Loads of highlights on this one with my favourite tracks being "The Man Who Was Too Loud" & I Gotta Move Backing vocals by the weirdly named Cult of Ray.

graham Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 The Burns Unit - Slide Show Off to see them at the weekend - haven't actually heard them to be honest, but there's enough interesting people involved to suggest that they're worth a shot.

Thinking of going too. Only got the lp the other day and I think its amazing. Kind of what you'd expect from the people involved but still a fantastic lp. Worth buying.

Paulo Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Iron & Wine - Kiss Each Other Clean An effort to make a more 'pop' kind of record. It's by no means pop, but it's a little 'cleaner' and mainstream than some of his previous stuff. Overall, it's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy davie Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Music new to me that I've being enjoying during the last few weeks... Black Angels - great rock 'n' roll sounds Gogol Bordello - high-octane (as they say) gypsy (hahaha) folk music sounds Frank Black / Black Francis / Francis Black / Frank Black and the Catholics - don't know what to make of this at all, it's got everything you could think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
