Silver Jews - American Water
"In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection..."
What a great album -- I love the tracks featuring Stephen Malkmus, too.

These have taken me from MI to IN (or OH) and back on a couple of work related trips.

Curtis Mayfield -- Curtis!
Yo La Tengo -- I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass
Marvin Gaye -- Marvin Gaye Live! (Trouble Man --> Inner City Blues = hawt)
Deerhoof -- Friend Opportunity

Score: 3

Palomino is the right album to start with. The new one, Stars and Satellites, is great but is a bit slower and melancholy. Palomino is more well rounded and has some great sing-alongs like Wait So Long, Victory, Separate, Help You, and Gasoline.

Manteca They put on a great live show. So much speed/accuracy in their playing
Score: 0

LouisvillePhan Permalink
LouisvillePhan Nice to see some other TBT fans here. Theyre playing a free concert here at the end of the month, cant wait. Palomino is a great album and so is the new one. I dont mind the slower songs at all because they're so well done.

Other albums Im digging right now: Yes - Fragile, BLack Keys - El Camino, and MMJ - It Still Moves

Never really heard much of mmw so I will put combustication on my list of albums to check out.

I've been digging Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass: Whipped Cream & other delights which I read about on this site.




It is so interesting to see what everyone else is digging cause some of you guys are so far from what I'm all about. I won't name names and I'm not talking shit, it's just interesting. I'm into the really weird shit sometimes, but mostly jazz and jamming music.

Two awesome bands I've recently found out about through the instanet

Gryphon

Helmet of Gnats

I've also been listening to a lot of early Rush and loving it, haven't heard too much of the new album though.

Manteca @posternutsack heck out Passport -Cross collateral if you haven't. Some sweet 70's sax funk fusion sexiness. Thanks for the killer recommendations guys!

@fikus - I went out on a few dates with one of elsinores sisters. She took me to see them and I really dug em.

@pedalpaddle really been digging that rubble bucket. Definitely some awesome road trippin summer jams.

The_Good_Doctor Permalink
The_Good_Doctor SO much good music mentioned in this thread already. Dig it!

Taboot:

Jason Collett - Here's to Being Here
(killer rock, great lyrics - makes me think if Dylan were backed by The Police - available on vinyl)

Lee Morgan - Search for the New Land
(classic 1960s Blue Note jazz - best jazz album intro theme ever? first released on vinyl)

Paul Simon - So Beautiful or So What
(if you guys are digging Graceland - this is by far his best effort since - unsure on vinyl status).

love and light!

Miles Davis - Tribute to Jack Johnson
Black Joe Louis and the Honeybears - Scandalous

Bitte Orca is pretty far from accessible. Very complex and abstract, you almost need to know a thing or two about music theory to fully appreciate it.

The vocal harmonies that the girls pull off on that album is what really got me first, so I'd say focus on that aspect of the album. Otherwise, the beauty is in the innovation. Seriously, no other album comes close to sounding like Bitte Orca.

Check out Buke and Gase here

Why?- Alopecia.

Awesome indie/psychedelic rap. Can't really describe it.
