What are you listening to? November 2017

PJ Harvey - Let England Shake (2011)

 

[Ojai Sam]

Richard Davis - Epistrophy & Now's The Time (Muse 1972)

Cutting edge live jazz from the legendary bass player. Wiki sez:

Richard Davis (born April 15, 1930) is an American jazz bassist. Among his most famous contributions to the albums of others are Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch!, Andrew Hill's Point of Departure, and Van Morrison's Astral Weeks, of which critic Greil Marcus wrote (in The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll), "Richard Davis provided the greatest bass ever heard on a rock album."

Lou Reed - Berlin (1973)

Amanda Shires - My Piece Of Land

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

The Replacements - Let It Be (1984)

Loss - Horizonless


I'm normally not a "growly" vocal person, but they're so slow here that they actually work well and don't annoy me.

Neil Young - Tonight's The Night (1975)

 

[Ojai Sam]

The Beatles - Live At The Hollywood Bowl (2016)

This is the same music as the old 1977 LP with 4 bonus tracks and improved sound. As a collector, I have to ask why EMI didn't just go for broke and release the complete 1964 and 1965 shows since they have been bootlegged to death anyway.

Explosions In The Sky - Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever (2001)



This is the "censored" version where the track "Plane Will Crash Tomorrow" has been renamed.

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand (2004)

Like Tonight's The Night yesterday, when I played this album today, I had to ask myself, "Why don't I listen to this one more?!"

Because you have no time for such trivial frivolities anything else in your life. Think of the children.

Teach them well, and get the hell out of the way.

PJ Harvey - To Bring You My Love (1995)

Very Cavish (as in Nick Cave)

 

[Nickyboy]

Fluff? Maybe. Great voice? Definitely.

 

[Zeeba Neighba]

Joe Jackson - Look Sharp! (1979)

 

[Unsomnambulist]

Goat - Fuzzed In Europe (2017)



This is an excellent album that has grown on me over repeated listens. However, I wish they would write some new songs. It seems they do the same few over and over on multiple albums.

This is a live album, but it's hard to tell because the audience is very quiet/edited out.

It seems they do the same few over and over .

I like them alot, but agree with what I quoted above.
