8155. Ms. No - 3/31/2006 3:03:35 AM Okay, I've now discovered a whole new style of music to obsess over thankyouverymuch. ;-> 8156. Adam Selene - 3/31/2006 4:10:02 AM Come on...Nellie McKay is the real thing... talent like this only comes around once in a lifetime...
8157. Ms. No - 3/31/2006 5:54:02 AM I couldn't find a place to hear her until just now --- none of the samples were working at the places I was checking but NPR has an archived performance.
She's wonderful. Another artist to aquire! And yet another girl and her piano. ;-> 8158. Macnas - 3/31/2006 9:48:57 AM Jack McGahern is dead.
8159. alistairconnor - 3/31/2006 9:49:58 AM Ah music! I remember music.
I really need to get plugged into something, anything, to get the sluggish musical juices flowing again.
And more importantly, need to take in hand the delicate business of orienting my daughters' musical education. Their early influences have been eclectic and their tastes are sound, but they are necessarily soaking up the FM radio, so I need to be hip to what's hip, and throw them a few things out of left field.
Need to buy them some CDs. I am heartily sick of the Corrs and the Cranberries, which were my most recent contributions. They are going to thrash whatever I get them, so it had better be things I can live with.
(this is along the lines of a Memo to Self. Sadly I can't check out music from work, and my band is not broad at home.) 8160. Macnas - 3/31/2006 9:55:48 AM alistair, don't bother, you'll hate what's current and hip, it jars so much with the music we like.
They'll be into the teens when they "rediscover" punk or whatever, and end up plundering your old collection. 8161. alistairconnor - 3/31/2006 10:08:16 AM I guess you're right. I've tried to bone up on the current English bands -- Arctic monkeys and the like -- but it all sounds so samey and derivative to my old-fart ears. 8162. Macnas - 3/31/2006 10:42:01 AM The only band (see? I still call them bands!) I like of that crop is Franz Ferdinand. I still like good lyrics. 8163. Ms. No - 3/31/2006 5:39:55 PM In the last year or so I've been hearing a lot of heavy 70's and 80's influence in the "alternative" bands. It's still early days for most of them, but I'd be quite happy with compilation CDs from this period. Franz Ferdinand, the Killers, Hot Hot Heat, She Wants Revenge, The Strokes, Muse, The Mars Volta, The Dead 60's, The Bravery, Snow Patrol, Arcade Fire, Deathcab for Cutie.
BTW, if you're looking for more eclectic stuff and you happen to have broadband connections, www.kcrw.com has a bunch of excellent music programs that are available streaming and archived. Hell, all their programming is good. It's worth checking out even if you don't live in the States. 8164. Ms. No - 3/31/2006 5:54:22 PM Alistair,
You might give Nickel Creek a listen. You can catch an...oh, crap, no broadband, right? Well, if you manage to get to a fast enough connection at any point. The link I just posted for KCRW, look up their show "New Ground" and check the archive for Nickel Creek. There's an interview but they actually play 5-7 songs so you'll get a good sense of what they sound like.
It's a bluegrass band, but not in a twangy, hillbilly sense. These kids are amazing and there's a kind of trick-pony cover song that they do during this interview that has to be heard to be believed.
Actually, I highly recommend this archived show to anyone who doesn't get a rash at the first notion of hearing fiddles. If the thought of bluegrass makes you cringe then think of it as Celtic music instead and that might soothe you. If that doesn't do the trick then maybe you'll have to pass, but, truly, Nickel Creek is one of the best things to come out of the new century. 8165. uzmakk - 3/31/2006 6:53:39 PM I want the eyeball banner at the head of this thread changed to "Kick Jexster's ass." 8166. uzmakk - 3/31/2006 6:56:09 PM Ms. No,
Community concert series. 8167. judithathome - 3/31/2006 11:27:53 PM Too much visible ego in that particular song for me.
Uz, I meant to address this earlier...the song is about the guy's funeral so of course it would be full of ego. Just sayin'. 8168. Adam Selene - 4/1/2006 3:07:26 AM Ms No - I'm glad you like her! I saw her in concert at the Birchmere in january (washington dc) and she just blew me away! I'm going to see her on broadway (as Pollie Peachum in Threepenny Opera) this spring. I can't remember when I've been so taken with a performer, but she is just amazing, especially in person. 8169. uzmakk - 4/1/2006 3:29:41 AM Well, Judith, that certainly explains things. 8170. Ulgine Barrows - 4/1/2006 8:03:12 AM 8146. Ms. No

it's like pulling honey
from a honeycomb
???
feels like we'll never get old
heart are skippin
???
watching the day unfold
throw some ice cubes down the tube
with a little vodka to set the mood
and don't pass till you finish your hit
or you gotta drink the water, and it tastes like ***
??? left we all got sad
what do they do exactly in rehab?
sorry dude but while you're gone
could we at least borrow your bong?
honey from a honeycomb
???
feels like we'll never get old
heart are skippin
???
watching the day unfold
turn it up
i love this song, yeah

i love this song

too bad there's a price to pay
I just saw jamie and he walked away
from us

honey from a honeycombe
feels like we'll never get old
