I've been getting into a bit of jazz lately. An age thing perhaps? Miles Davis being my entry point. I've recently bought Wayne Shorter's Juju and Empyrean Isles by Herbie Hancock. Nice.
I just recently bought Nirvana's unplugged CD. It was very good. A little spooky since the anniversary of Cobain's death is coming up next month.
I find myself listening to it over and over. I especially like his acoustic version of "Man Who Sold the World." And, of course, "All Apologies."
I don't understand. I think they do a good job of capturing your essence. I thought you'd appreciate them.:) < the current emoticons suck.
The Replacements book is an "oral history" and those always leave me cold.
The first "tour" Hüsker Dü ever did started in Canada (as I just learned). In the West somewhere. Then they went down through Seattle and San Francisco. They were smart going West, because they made a lot of good connections. We went East at the same time and only connected with some college girls.Hüsker Dü and The Replacements were pretty important bands for me in high school. The Replacements more so, only because their lps were cheaper and more readily available up here in Canada (pre-internet).
double down:
Ring the alarm, another sound is dying!1.) Brigadier Jerry - Jamaica, Jamaica - (hey mjp- as a roots aficionado - do you dig Briggy? criminally under-recorded, but he's got some key stuff...one of my favorites is his "What Kind of World' track off the classic Techniques "Stalag 17-18, 19' compilation that spawned Tenor Saw's "Ring the Alarm'. sickest soundsystem freestyler of them all)
Ring the alarm, another sound is dying!
Jamaica Jamaica is a catchy tune, but I'm afraid it sort of marks the beginning of the end for reggae for me, when it all went down the toilet and everything became drum machine driven dancehall, and 5,000 records came out on that fucking sleng teng riddim. .
True, I just listened to it and I remembered it wrong. I should have known because I wouldn't have saved the song if it was a drum machine. ;)) The song does pretty much define that dancehall style would be played out so quickly though. But you're right, that's not one of the flood of bad records that came out after it.I don't consider Briggy in that school, yeah there's some dub effects on the LP, but full band playing throughout.
Not skipping any songs. I just like those two the best.its a crime to skip songs in that album im telling ya :cool:
