Do you guts listen to The James Taylor Quartet or The Brand New Heavies?
If you've never heard JTQ before, be ready to be blown away...

Holy. Shit.

JTQ is fucking awesome. Pretty much the fathers of modern acid jazz. Their cover of Mrs. Robinson is amazing.
I used to go to scooter rallies with some buddies, and the deejays would always play JTQ, Brand New Heavies, Style Council and other blue eyed soul stuff.
JTQ was always the best though.
The Oscillations guys?
I am impatient of all misery in others that is not mad. Thou should'st go mad, blacksmith; say, why dost thou not go mad? How can'st thou endure without being mad? Do the heavens yet hate thee, that thou can'st not go mad?
lists and reviews
Yep.
Yesterday I saw Nisei and Girls Against Boys. Kickass show. KILL THE SUGAR!
After listening to it once, I really like the new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album.
Damn me and my soulseeklessness. I cannot f**king wait.
Though I still find great value in several songs of theirs, Japan's Condor44 sounds a teensy bit less original in their sound after I've explored Sonic Youth's Sister and Daydream Nation. To be sure, Condor44 never really hid their influences, but since I haven't listened to SY since the mid '90s, it's forcing a reappraisal on the former band's non-acoustic songs, since the song construction is plenty similar.
That said, you should all check out Condor44's "db" video on youtube.

I love Moby. I've liked or loved most of what he's done over the years. Disco Lies is a very cool track and the video is hysterical.
I just found Alice on YouTube and although I only kinda like it for now, I have a feeling I'll end up really really liking it.
Can't wait for the album.

Me too.
My favorite is Animal Rights. I love that album.
i honestly have not listened to too much Moby, I really like Play though, even if every single one of those tracks appeared on a commercial.
Yeah, he really got played out for a while.
But, he's been through his backlash period, so now I think it's cool to like him again.
He really is a good musician/producer, plus I really like what he has to say.
The liner notes in Animal Rights are amazing.
I dig Moby quite a bit, although I've only heard some songs off of Play and the entire album 18 which I like a lot. I think its a solid album sporting some really great tracks.

I hadn't heard them until their I'm Not There song, which rocked the house.
How is the rest of their stuff?
So I saw Ryan Adams on Live Set on MHD. Is this guy the biggest douche or what?
Like his music though.

At his Sydney show last year he demanded to play with the lights out, and then when the audience complained he started berating them. I wasn't there, but it was the talk of the town for a while.
Unsurprising, based on the 20 minutes of footage I saw. He comes off as the poster-child for arrogant self-absorbed dickheads.

Great, they have a real old school 60s garage rock sound. Sometimes even remind me of Hendrix.

The last time he played Minneapolis, he played a 70 minute set where he spent most of the time complaining about the sound and sliding around the mic and monitors, then threw a tantrum and walked off stage to a chorus of boos.
Back in 2003, he played First Ave (where Prince got his start) and played a set that lives in local lore as one of the bitchiest, worst concerts ever. Adams seemed more interested in dissing Paul Westerberg during that concert than he was in playing his own material.
I don't know why people put up with him. He's no-where near talented enough to be putting on a prima-donna act in my book. He'd be doing a lot of us a favor by just dropping Minneapolis off his schedule next time he decides to tour.

Wow. Just wow. I'm surprised the crowd didn't lynch him on the spot. I would have thrown something at his head had I been in the audience. Or at least I would have been tempted to.
