The Cargo Culte lay in a collection of mixes that BaddBob and I began sharing in the late fall and winter of 2008. A few scant months after the banking meltdown I found myself back in Los Angeles after eight years of wandering, living off of unemployment. BaddBob a behind the scenes guy in television [...]
A post inspired/reminded by Football and Music and Sweeping The Nation ... and countless other great blogs. This is my contribution to marking John Peel's passing in 2004 with a Peel Session track is - well, I've cheated. I had a few choices, so why not post 'em all? ' I Don't Want To Be Friends With You ' - Shop Assistants - Peel Session 1986 ' Hung Over As The Oven In Maiden Vale ' - Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Peel Session 1998 [...]
Welcome to part one of GIMME TINNITUS' Best Songs Of The Aughts where we look back on the best songs of 2000-2004. Back when all the "best of the decade" whoopla started earlier this year (with Pitchfork's Best Of ), I began thinking about the songs I would have blogged about had I actually been blogging (or let's say posting about music on an angelfire page) way back in 2000. I sifted through many tracks to come up with this list, and I hope it helps you reconnect with some tracks you may have forgotten [...]
After Sunday's Dinosaur Jr. post , I decided I needed to start listening to J Mascis and the Fog again. As I mentioned in the post, J Mascis and the Fog served as my introduction to musician J Mascis , and then to Dinosaur Jr. Fortunately, I was able to track down a really sick version of one of my favorite songs from the band on YouTube. Ammaring can be found on the J Mascis and The Fog debut release More Light; The album was one of the musical projects Mascis devoted his time [...]
Late post tonight in an attempt to delay the inevitability of a new work week beginning tomorrow. Tonight's song comes from the American indie/alt-rock band Dinosaur Jr. , an all time favorite of mine. Over It can be found on the band's latest album Farm , released last month via the indie label Jagjaguwar ; Jagjaguwar is of course the label that was behind the re-release of Bon Iver 's debut album For Emma, Forever Ago . One of the things that I'm really digging about this track is how much it reminds of [...]
We have to listen very hard now to David Bazan as he sings this spare heartbreaker to hear in his voice the overtones of Lou Barlow that caused us to believe that "Bad Diary Days" was a Sebadoh track when we first heard it. This happened as we were cruising northward through the broadcast range of The University of North Carolina's WXYC in the late summer of 1998, and we were transfixed by the voice. "Bad Diary Days" lays bare the narrator's simple but devastating memory of discovering his lover's infidelity. We [...]
