I've been pretty obsessed with this awesome local blues/funk band Old Man Brown. They got a new CD release on April 20th called Blue Light Special. It's on iTunes. For those who would like to see some white boys givin' da funk, check it out. They're great.
Nice.Quote:

It's still awesome, and gets better and better and better. LCD's best album, I think.Quote:

It's 4 minutes to DYC's 9. "Drunk Girls" is one of the weaker songs on the album, but I still enjoy it a good deal. I still chuckle every time it hits the "Drunk boys, they steal from the cupboards...drunk girls like to file complaints!" line. Such perfect delivery.Quote:

Have you heard On the Corner? That's my favorite of his next to Kind of Blue. It's gloriously funky.Quote:

i've always been fond of a tribute to jack johnson. yesternow is just ok, but right off more than makes up for it. god i love that tune. 25 minutes of bliss.
but my favorite overall period of miles is the hancock/shorter/carter/williams band. so good.
Bitches Brew is infinitely better than Kind of Blue.
I'm not really digging the new LCD. Bookending tracks are great, "All I Want" and "One Touch" are good, the buildup to "You Wanted a Hit" is good but the lyrics are terrible, and everything else is pretty boring with the exception of "Drunk Girls" which is below comment. I've only given it two listens tho, so I hope it grows on me like Sound of Silver did.
A Tribute to Jack Johnson is one of my 5 or 10 favorite musical recordings ever, but "I Loved Him Madly" from Get Up With It is probably my favorite Miles piece.

Balaclavas - "Up the Newel"
Sketches of Spain is better than both.Quote:

On a completely (polar) different note, in anticipation of the just-days-away release of Read Dead Revolver, I'm getting into the spirit by listening to the greatest Wild West Album Ever Made (this is not debatable. It's scientific fact. I have proof!)
Dan - you should check out Miles Davis' Panthalassa. It's about as close as Jazz gets to ambient music.Quote:

I love Marty Robbins. That dude is the true OG!
