Well, the Franz Ferdinand is kicking my butt with their velvety boots. Reminds me of cool music made before I was born, played by guys that KNOW how to play, in a loosey, vibey way. What can I say, I like it!!!

 

Oh, and the Ben Kweller CD is... man, it's teaching me the stuff I should have learned in tha first place. GOOD songs, attitude, and love for what you are doing.

 

I wish I could be like them (that's my compliment).

 

So much good music... so little time.

 

Like the New Radicals song: "Isn't....wonderful to be alive!!!!"

 

Later dudes.

Hey have you seen the video? All the people in the classroom doing the dance moves in the video are from my mates flat in bristol (he's at uni there). Apparently they are pretty cool guys. :thu:
Derek Smalls: It's like fire and ice, basically. I feel my role in the band is to be somewhere in the middle of that, kind of like lukewarm water. http://www.myspace.com/gordonbache

Hello everyone,

 

This is my first post ever to MusicPlayer.com - looks like a cool forum.

 

Anyway - the album I have been listening to lately is Lenny Kravitz - Baptism.

 

Any Lenny Kravitz fans out there? Personally, I think this album falls somewhere between Are you Gonna Go My Way and Circus in terms of songwriting quality. There are a few great songs on it, a couple of which are almost reminiscent of Let Love Rule and Mamma Said but as a whole piece of work, coming nowhere near to matching either of them.

 

Much as I love his music, I think he ran out of steam after Are You Gonna Go My Way.

 

Has anyone else here listened to it?

Got the turntable back up! That means the 70's are on the menu!

Yes- Close to the Edge (because of the topic on the Keyboard forum)

King Crimson- Lizard

Chopin- various piano music

Chicago III

Jean-Luc Ponty- Enigmatic Ocean

Scorpions- Fly to the Rainbow

I've got to say something about '70's-era Scorpions: they were very different from the more commercially successful later version of the band. They were very melodic, and their lead guitarist had a strong Hendrix bent. Kind of like a heavy cross between Jimi Hendrix and Richard Wagner. Very far out, and those early albums hold up very well after all these years. Get them all.

Welcome to the forum!

 

I am currently listening to the latest Keyboard Corner Compilation CD (7/8), the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs CD, field recordings from Ghana, several mixes that I've done for various bands, and Sigur Ros "()".

 

I can't stand Kravitz. Sorry!

So this weekend...

 

* Keyboard Corner Compilation 7/8 (just got it!)

* Still listening to Steve Winwood's "About Time." That's a long time for something to stay in rotation around here.

* Alien Cowboys "Lift." I heard them at the MIPA Awards in Frankfurt and met their producer, who sent me a copy. Cool, direct guitar-based rock instrumentals...sort of like if the Ventures had been born in the late 70s .

* Dieselboy - Dungeonmaster's Guide. A different take on drum and bass, I'm not always a huge fan of the genre but I like this CD.

You betcha ! :wave:

 

I'm doing some Danny Gatton now though, just got done with some Red Elvises - George Benson is up next...followed by

 

- The Man - Django Reinhardt, I bought a 5 CD set at Tower records ($28) remastered from his earliest 78's - I was expecting crude sound - Ted Kendall did an excellant job of remastering these things - they sound very very good ! What year is this, 2004 ? Yes very good even for 2004...

Django used to play banjo - get it ? You know his grove...make sense now ? hehe an education for me...cool Django ...

 

...and we think that Hendrix and Van Halen, respectfully, were such innovators (as they were!) Django was just from another dimension - I'd love to know what influenced him and who the 'big rooster' was in his caravan that taught him ! Anyway DJANGO night - followed by Eddie Murphy - of course :thu:
