This album was way better than it's legacy would have us believe

I think the secret might be every track is a little bit better than the one that preceded it, until the final coolout, as he might say

yo ian, which Nicodemus? he is really patchy. I'm partial to "Spacechild Squall" myself. some real bad ones in his catalog tho, tread litely

― where wings take dream (booyaa tribe), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 05:27 (seventeen years ago) link

the ones i listened to today were spacechild squall, better art music, and Antennae Moonlite. They all seemed decent.. better art music had a weird, funky prog/psych kind of feel to it. much more "together" than the other two, which just projected a kind of basement rock/loner/downer vibe.

― ian (orion), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 05:47 (seventeen years ago) link

right, see i think "Better Art Music" is the one I just couldn't get into ... i'm way more into the loner/downer stuff. or uh, REAL PEOPLE (!!!) as it used to be called!

― where wings take dream (booyaa tribe), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 06:02 (seventeen years ago) link

hrrrmmm. realness. such a dicey subject, these days. i would venture a guess though, that perhaps jandek is more real than nicodemus is; having something to do with cultivation of image. but i guess i don't know enough about either artist to figure that one out...

― ian (orion), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 06:10 (seventeen years ago) link

i think i meant that the other way around, actually. nicodemus being more real than jandek.

― ian (orion), Tuesday, 13 February 2007 06:14 (seventeen years ago) link

haha .. I don't think either one of 'em is necessarily more REAL, i wuz just mocking the designation "REAL PEOPLE" which ya usedta see in the vinyl catalogs all the time. as in, REAL PEOPLE PSYCH. a Tom Lax fave. I couldn't give a shit what the motivations of Jandek vis-a-vis Nicodemus are, I love 'em both. Jandek way more though.

heck, i've only been listening to Little Feat for two days straight anyway

bruce palmer: the cycle is complete
the old bootleg of dylans "royal albert hall show"...i think the sound on the uncleaned/remastered boot is better than the official bootlegs 4 version...wider, more arresting

Power pop single of the year, hands down. Jesse from the Carboners (with Dave Carbona and a couple of other non-Carbona sideman) hits us off with three well-executed and well-written Rickenbacker-pop diamonds so surpringly good I almost wish he was doing this full-time instead of that other band. The title cut is something any one of the Nerves would have been proud to have penned, and is on my short-list for song of the year. Actually, it seems a bit more early Jam-like than any US act, and the band seems inspired a bit more by UK songsmiths like Lowe/Weller/Costello, which could be why a fairly non-powerpop guy like me is digging it so much. Not really wimpy at all, with a strong voice, nicely played and laden with hooks. "No Rest (For the Wicked)" is particularly reminiscent of early Elvis C., something I can always get behind. If I'd known how good this was gonna be I would've bought a dozen and given them out as Christmas presents. I give this one an eleven out-of-ten, an A+ and positive feedback on eBay. How can the Douchemaster possibly top this release? Scum stats: 75 only on white, the rest on black for the normal people without a record collecting disorder.(RK)

last night's concert: http://www.viktoriamullova.com/ playing bach partitas, overtone control bringing out absolutely bizarre notes & chords in the lines that I thought I must have been hallucinating at the time, had to talk to people afterwards to make sure we'd all just heard what we'd heard -- if you ever get a chance to see her, don't think about missing it

thanx for the tips, scott! these are both pretty excellent. "in my room" and the last cut on side A of the jimmy campbell are both totally jams. the charley d & milo is good throughout!

"I Am the Walrus," "Jelly Roll Gum Drop," "The Lantern," and "European Son" - on records. (Except for "The Lantern" because I decided once to buy Satanic Majesties on CD and got rid of a surface noisy vinyl copy I had. This was the one and only time I ever did this. I mean, it sounds clear and all, but CDs suck. My copy of The Velvet Underground and Nico sounds a little surface noisy but I would rather listen to it then a ceedee.)

Willie Nelson's Greatest Hits (& Some That Will Be)
this is pretty awesome, and is more or less my entry point into WN's oeuvre (I've also heard Pretty Paper. And my dad used to play the album with "Pancho & Lefty" when I was younger, but it has been years since I heard that, and I never took it seriously back then anyway).

Am I safe in assuming that I should try his Columbia albums next? Or is a greatest hits the way to go?

― Lingbert (Lingbert), Thursday, 15 February 2007 06:07 (seventeen years ago) link

check his Atlantic albums: Phases & Stages is his masterpiece concept LP and Shotgun Willie is hodgepodge w/great songs. Yesterday's Wine on RCA is klassic too. Red Headed Stranger is his best on CBS, after that you're on your own.

― mark coleman (lovebug ), Thursday, 15 February 2007 11:22 (seventeen years ago) link

I had the original "Ultima Thule" 7" as well! Paid a lot for it, sold in on for a fair bit more as well. Excellent track, totally rocking.
