I'm going to start an all male band called Las Bitchas.

Various Artists: Soweto Never Sleeps (1986)

I can't find it on my drop-down menu any more. :shrug:

The Electric Amish- A Hard Day's Work (1999)

Slim Whitman- Vintage Collections (1997)

You are not far off. Valdes had a music career that preceded Ricardo and he was one of Cuba's most popular artists with his band El Sonoro de Mancenera. His biggest hit was "Babalu-aye", which Ricardo then took as his own "theme song". I haven't come across one Valdes album that didn't make...

This is the second album from Die Wilde Jagd, after his (in my opinion) phenomenal, self-titled debut. I can say right now that this album is going to be beyond the comfort zone for some listeners, but I think it's a beauty. It's also longer than it maybe has to be, but that's what the artist...

I woke up with "Isolation" in my head. Joy Division- Closer (1980)

Is there a way to permanently turn of the watch thread notifications? My email is deluged with notices that "XXXX replied to a thread you are watching". I went through as many threads as I could and clicked "unwatch" but now see that if I comment in that thread again, I am automatically...

This was almost a no-brainer for me. I have mentioned Kitchens of Distinction a few times before on this site and it's earlier iteration as being a favorite 90s band of mine. Call it dream pop, call it shoegaze (<----actually, don't), call it jangle-core if you dare. Kitchens of Distinction...

I am not going to say much about this one; I will let the music speak for itself. But, I will say that Bartoli has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard and pairing it with Antonio Vivaldi's Baroque opera pieces is pure genius and pure joy.

Of course, this will change like the wind. But, right now, what is the coolest song you know? I have two today. Post 'em if you got 'em! I Can't stand It- the Velvet Underground REM- Superman

Soft gamelan or hard gamelan? Inquiring minds want to know.

When I saw that the Random Daterizer bestowed 2012 on my, I thought "uh oh. I don't think I know anything from that year". Boy, was I wrong. There was a lot of good music that was put out in 2012. So, once again, which way to go. The easiest was for me to post the album I listened to most...

I've said this before, but cover songs that are exact copies of the original are boring as hell to me. If I wanted to hear that, I would just go to the original. That said, here are some covers that I like that don't try to be an exact copy. Feel free to add ones you like, too...

1957. Lots and lots of jazz music, some doowop, and rock and roll starting to really pop up. You'd think that's where Nickyboy would start. You'd be mistaken. Well, well. Time for some Jacques Brel. In particular his second album "Quand on n'a que l'amour" (When we only have love). Brel...

1956. What a year for music! Especially jazz music and early rock and roll. We've got Elvis, we've got Ella Fitzgerald, we've even got Ferrante & Teicher! We've also got some smooth music coming from a little island in the Caribbean. Between college and grad school, I got into a deep Cuban...

Django Reinhardt- Django Reinhardt et le Quintette du Hot Club de France (1961)

When Zeebs said that my year was 2014, I thought there was no way in hell I will be able to find anything. Well, a jaunt down the charts on RYM pretty much confirmed my first impression. However, there were four or five albums I knew and liked in the top 100. So, where did I go? The pop of...

1974 was a fantastic year for music! So many excellent choices, and that's from just looking at the RYM charts. I used their chart, rather than go through all of my vinyl and CDs one at a time to find a gem from 1974. So.....did I go with Brian Eno? Kraftwerk? These might be obvious...
