can chan marshall help? has she done a carole king cover yet? it could be a transitioning thing for u.

unreg is my guy

jergins..., I know.

so it that Cat Power covers album any good?

get a room u 2

the first one is pretty good. the second one is iffy at best.

yeah. ijust put moon pix and what would the community think on the bigpod. it's been a while but i'm looking fwd to hearing them again

uh oh, now i'm gonna go on a cat power binge. this could be dangerous!

iirc "nude as the news" is one of my favorites of all time. i don't know why. i'm not a huge cat power fan to begin with.

listening to it for jergins right now

i still have a flame gun
for the cute, cute, cute ones

aw

i thought of this thread just now because i watched "it felt like a kiss" by adam curtis and it briefly mentions "he hit me (it felt like a kiss)" (written by carole king)

it's rare i can drop an early 60s song on lxy that she doesn't know; this one gave her a case of the WTFs the other day

oh hai listened to the céu bubuia and <3 <3 <3 now listening to whatever is up on last.fm. good call, jergs!

I'm not the type to go on Cat Power binges, but I just listened to 'Bathysphere' by Pram right after listening to "Bathysphere" by Cat Power, and I damn near had a mystical experience throughout. both tracks came out in 1998 too — eeeerie!

have you heard bathysphere by smog?

nosir. will it freak me out?

it just might.

myra lee <3

btw unreg did you listen to bathyspere bc if not pls do asap thankig u

I did! I like the even-handed duality of the low and high ends, with the tuba and low harmony vocals combining to form the low end, and the guitar and high harmony vocals filling in the high notes. neither of the vocal tracks is obviously set up as the lead vocal (they're mixed at about the same level/volume), so you can mentally follow one or the other each time you listen to the song. Cat Power's version is less complex harmonically, so it's more sonically & emotionally direct to my ears. I'm no muso, so I'm not sure if I explained that too well. great song though.

forgot how much i love downtown soulville, it is a lot

i just remembered last year on my birthday i had wanted to request a song on downtown soulville but you have to do it way ahead of time. this year i want to do it and i don't know what to request that isn't totally gay. can anyone help?

the california raisins song

you make me feel (like a natural woman)

i wonder if mr finewine look intersting

yeah he seems like a nice guy. i might ask him to play trouble child again but he played it on january 2, 2009.

too soon

well 2 weeks ago he played something he played on that same show. i think that's a sign.

stroking ur goatee, requesting ur song

i think he might do it! he seems to be open to playing whatever the hell he wants whenever the hell he wants (like his whole 'guess what you might not think it's soul but i do and it's my show HAH' thing).

new flaming lips! it is great so far (like 2 songs in)

i've been obsessed with the best show on wfmu lately.
today on shuffle as we drove through the mountains a reggae version of country roads came on and we sang along. it was a moment.

LOOOVE Podcasts. they are the only thing i can add to IPHONE on the go w/o plugging in. max have u checked the ben manzone podcast series? i D/Ld them but haven't yet.
