Re: General Music Discussion Thread (a.k.a. indie lovefest)
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The latest albums I've picked up recently that I dig are Lily Allen (Alright, Still) and Peter Bjorn & John (Writer's Block). I really like Lily Allen in particular-- very, very pop, but very good and with a pull-no-punches sense of humor. I haven't listened to Peter Bjorn & John as much, but so far I dig it, and I really like "Let's Call It Off" (which may or may not be the single-- I heard it on Sirius). Anyone else have any opinion on either of these? [/ QUOTE ] Wow. Where the eff was I last year. Listening to PB&J now and halfway through it's just tremendous. One of the best I've listened to for a long time. It sounds at once familiar and original. [/ QUOTE ] Its awesome, but you'll be less impressed in like 11 days. Amsterdam still gets play from me though. |

Re: General Music Discussion Thread (a.k.a. indie lovefest)
All,
Just got back from Cat Power & Dirty Delta Blues at the Fillmore. Wow. What a show. I saw her a couple years ago at a small club here, Bimbo's, and she sounded awesome, but played the whole set sitting down and not really looking at the audience w/ virtually no lighting on the stage. This time the stage lighting was still pretty low, but she was walking back and forth, dancing really cute - like a sorta awkward indie rock girl dancing at a show. Sometimes adding in a little cute air guitar and keyboard. The first really amazing song she did was Tracks of My Tears. Wow. Just incredible. Here's one I found on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vcQCFSsKFw Similar, but tonight's version was way more intense. The general vibe of the show was very soulful and blues natured, sometimes with a Joni Mitchell type feel, sometimes with more of a Janis Joplin type feel, and sometimes with almost a gospel-ish blues vibe. Next highlight was Satisfaction. I have never seen that level of energy from her. Really belting it out a lot. Incredible vocals and performance. Only minor disappointment was Lived in Bars - sounded great, but gave a pretty short performance. A number of covers late, John Lee Hooker, Joni Mitchell, and a couple I didn't recognize. The highlight for me was Crazy. Really great version. Here are some on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/results?searc...;search=Search Played for about 1hr 40m straight with about a 1 minute break before encore. A really amazing show. |

K. I saw Animal Collective last night in a venue with about 100 people. They only played for an hour and a half, which is too bad, because it was the greatest thing I've ever seen,

El D,
Awesome! I saw her this summer in Boston with Dirty Delta Blues and she was fantastic. Basically the same vibe as you described. Only complaint was I wish she'd have fleshed out her Greatest songs more. I freakin love that album. She's really come around on her stage presence and confidence during sobriety I think. |

Guys,
This thread is ridiculously long. Someone should start a Volume 2 of this thread. Put a link to this thread in that OP. |
