shit you're spinning that you haven't listened to in a while

Post by Screw_Michigan »

since i'm in my final year of school at wmu, i've been on numerous nostalgia trips, including music. my period of musical enlightenment began in 01-02 when i discovered live pearl jam and it continues to this day. although i am in love with so many different bands that have come around lately, i have been spinning some shit that i haven't listened to in a few years. some good fucking memories:

flaming lips: soft bulletin and yoshimi. the lips are the first indie band i ever discovered. to think i saw the lips twice in one week and a total of three times in six weeks in 03 just blows my mind. they (like tool) are hardcore due for a tour. what a great band. i just wish i could hear more SB live, like what is the light-->the observer (heard once in pittsburgh, would kill to hear it again), sleeping on the roof, feeling yourself disintigrate. epic shit.

attn: psufan/pittsburgh natives, ever been to metropol? good shit, almost got kicked out for firing up a joint in the middle of the floor during the FL. this was my first small venue experience and after attending all the arena shows, i thought sparking during concerts was standard fare everywhere. oops. but lips at the pol = good shit.

speaking of tool, i have been listening to salival lately. third eye is quite possibly their most epic song live. 15 solid minutes that kicks your ass the whole way through. runner up award to pushit. possibly one of the most technically superior bands of our generation.

blind melon: self titled. people dog them for no rain, but they were so much more than that. dear ol dad and deserted are probably their two most epic songs, right up with galaxie and mouthful of cavities. RIP shannon, way too early.

depeche mode: violator. like seeing PJ pre-no code, i only wish i would have been old enough to see DM on the violator tour. enjoy the silence...nuff said.

american football: self titled. not a huge emo fan, but i'm a huge mike kinsella fan and the AF album continues to blow my mind. great guitar work and beautiful songwriting.

hum: downward is heavenward. pretty much the late 90s rush: progressive as fuck with a ton of neil young-style distortion included (ok maybe not so much rush). isle of the cheetah and if you are to bloom are as epic as it gets.

radiohead: ok computer. the greatest non-concept concept album to be released. how the tourist plays into airbag if you play the album twice through is sick shit. not to mention let down, karma police, paranoid android, electioneering, lucky, and climbing up the walls. shivers every time i listen to this album.

last but not least: rush: 9-27-84 capital center, landover. THE greatest rush bootleg ever. best way to convert a pseudo-rush fan: have them listen to enemy within and between the wheels live. if you aren't down with rush after listening to this boot, then you are just an idiot.

war great music. i truly pity dudes who don't enjoy music (we all know of one, instead they enjoy shitty mainstream movies because they lack the brain matter/attention span). they are missing out on life!

Was that the show where Robyn Hitchcock played also? If so, I was there.

Metropol has some other name now. We 'Burgh folk detest the place, firstly because they kick their 'headliners" out early every night so they can fit in 2-3 hours of dance music, and secondly because of the fucked up sideways orientation of the place.

Also, they make many shows "under 21" that should not be - and the drinkers are banished up to a balcony from which it is extremely difficult to view the band. This is stupid for shows like Shane MacGowan and Steve Earle, only 21+ fogeys who want to get their drink on are there anyway.

brought about by the movie Donnie Darko, the wife and I have been revisiting 80's pop. Went out and bought songs from the big chair. played that to death. we go through and talk about Cure albums we have on tape but can't find now. Sing random Depeche Mode, Joy Division or Smiths songs to great amusement. Jesus and Mary Chain got some run.

Those are the musical pasts we share. I can't drop Circle Jerks or descendants references to her and get a reaction beyond "are you retarded?" just as she can't sing Ultra Vivid Scene tunes and get a reaction outta me beyond "heroinjunkiesezwhat?"

I'm in the middle of downloading all of the available Pink Floyd "limited edition" trance remixes. So I'll be doing on a Floyd binge very soon.

OK, there might be some YouShare links dropped. These are torrent files and they're taking forever and a day to come down. But be patient. Whish You Were Here is almost done.

He's right. That's their best sounding bootleg, and GUP songs live are as good as any of their stuff.

Oh speaking of Slayer — I downloaded software that enables me to make ringtones for my cell phone and my latest the past month has been Raining Blood. That's kinda in the "listening to old school music" category! ;)

Downward Is Heavenward is better, IMO. Much better production and better songs top to bottom. That "Stars" song is cool though. I heard them playing that on Howard back in the day and it's what inspired me to check them out.

hum was a great band. according to allmusic.com, they disbanded because DiH had lackluster sales and reviews and they just decided to say "fuck it." but whatever.

any true rush fans who don't have the 84 landover bootleg, PM me your shit and i would gladly mail you a copy of the boot. live rush at it's best. i also love subdivisions (my favorite rush song ever) and the weapon off this boot. epic shit.

psu: yes i noticed the pol had a fucked up arrangement when we came in. AND YES i did think something was fishy that they only sold booze upstairs. for some reason, it just didn't seem right even though i had never been to a comparably sized venue in my life. something about it just wasn't right. and when that bouncer told me to put it out before he threw me the fuck out, well, that was enough to set me straight.

but that weekend i spent in the burgh in 03 was easily one of the greatest weekends of my entire life. PJ at the civic on sat, bucs v. dodgers sun afternoon, FL at the pol sun night. can't beat that shit with a stick, nevermind getting high at pnc park.

gotta love DM and new order forever. god i love outside of mainstream music.

Drop on in to your local "shop" and pick up a bat the next time you want to pull that stunt at a club.

No, I don't recomend buying the shit online.

RACK!
I've been spinning the new one a lot lately, and have been sprinkling in
some of their previous albums, mostly "Violator" and "Music For The Masses".
I did see DM on the "Songs Of Faith And Devotion" tour in '94- great show.
They did almost half of "Black Celebration", including "Somebody" for one of their encores. 8)
