Song: The Double life Artist: Rainer Maria Album: Long Knives Drawn Comments: When Rainer Maria pumps out the music they are fantastic. When they slow it down for their horrible ballads then it gets boring real fast. You might think this song is ballad-y, but it's not. The chorus is great with all the cymbal crashing. This band is just great on a bunch of levels. They broke up in 2006. Song: Fertile Crescent Artist: Bad Religion Album: Generator [...]
Song: You're Gonna Miss Me Artist: 13 th Floor Elevators Album: Nuggets Comments: Roky Erickson wrote this perfect piece of 60's pysch . Most interpretations don't even try to do something different with the song, except for Half Japanese which ruined the damn song. This is is off the Nuggets comp. The screaming and what sounds like a rabid chipmunk open this song. The "rabid chipmunk" effect is pure genius. I don't know what it is but that is what I have thought it [...]
Song: Young Blood Artist: Thee Headcoats Album: Beached Earls Comments: Song: Young Blood Artist: Thee Headcoatees Album: Sisters of Suave Comments: Winner: Thee Headcoatees (c) 2006 Rinjo Njori
All of us here at Slave to Shuffle (that would be me) have amassed quite a collection of originals, perceived originals, and covers. I figure it's worth the discussion to compare and contrast. Song: Ziggy Stardust (Original) Artist: David Bowie Album: Changes Comments: This Eno produced track opens with probably the first acoustic intro I ever admitted to liking. Bowie owns this song, perhaps because he owned the persona of Ziggy Stardust. Still the acoustic guitar drives this song even though the riff on the chorus [...]
Song: Bi Artist: Living Colour Album: Stain Comments: This was Living Colour's 3rd album. I haven't listened to it in about 10 years. Still, this admiration of the Bi lifestyle is pretty stupid. Song: End the Hate (Live) Artist: Wide Awake Album: 25 Song Discography Comments: My biggest problem with this discography and Absolution's complete discography is the inclusion of these really crappy live tracks. This stuff probably sounded better in 1988. Song: [...]
Song: Aquariar Artist: Sleep Album: Sleep's Holy Mountain Comments: This record is brutal. Heavy Metal that hasn't been unleashed in years. I get on kicks where I smoke a whole lotta pot and listen to this album over an over again. Well, the part about listening to it over and over again is true. Song: Fame Artist: Ray and Porcell Album: Ray and Porcell ( OOP ) Comments: Hey, you [...]
Song: Party of Special Things To Do Artist: The White Stripes Album: Doctor Mooney 115th Dream Comments: This is from the Sub Pop singles club and before the White Stripes were the band! My beautiful wife Alexandra got me my first White Stripes album. I may not think they are as brilliant as I once thought they were these "tidbits" that never made it onto CD are just great. Go to Doctor Mooney 115th Dream to get the rest of these gems. [...]
Song: The Fourth Artist: SSM Album: SSM Comments: Retro fueled modern rock done right-- Hear that Raconteurs! Song: Je Me Moquerai De Toi Artist: Les Bowlers Album: Psychegaelic Comments: Thanks for the history lesson Aquarium Drunkard. Mod influenced Psych Freak Beat. Song: Memphis Creep Artist: The Oblivions Album: Sympathy Sessions Comments: Rocking and Rolling Punk from Blues Punk Legends. Song: Physical You're So [...]
Song: Clap Your Hands Artist: A Tribe Called Quest Album: Midnight Merauders Comments: Song: Digital Black Epilogue Artist: Urge Overkill Album: Exit the Dragon Comments: Song: Hang Ups Artist: bash and pop Album: Friday Night is Killing Me Comments: Song: One More Bottle Artist: Paw Album: Dragline Comments: [...]
Song: Out of Control Artist: Chemical Brothers Album: Surrender Comments: For some reason in 1999/2000 I was into Electronica on a "Top 40" level. This track especially stands out since New Order's Bernard Sumner sings on the track. New Order hadn't put out anything in years so it was nice to hear his voice again. Song: Sin is a Good Man's Brother Artist: Monster Magnet Album: Spine of God Comments: I got my first Monster Magnet CD in the early [...]
Song: Sister Nicotine Artist: Bantam Rooster Album: Deal Me In Comments: Song: I Just Want Some Skank Artist: Circle Jerks Album: Group Sex/ Wild in the Streets Comments: Song: Bright Green Globe Artist: Down By Law Album: Punk O Rama 1 Comments: Song: Secret Life Artist: Shades Apart Album: Save It Comments: [...]
Song: This is My Confession Artist: The Afghan Whigs Album: Congregation Comments: Song: Argyle Artist: The Bouncing Souls Album: Maniacal Laughter Comments: Song: ISRB10 Artist: Instrumental Skate Rock Band Album: ISRB Comments: Song: Bite the Bullet Artist: Motorhead Album: Ace of Spades Comments: Song: Somebody's Done For [...]
Song: I've Been Waiting Artist: Brian Jonestown Massacre Album: Strung Out in Heaven Comments: Neo-Psychedelia from the 90's. I am not particularly thrilled with other BJM album's but this album is just about perfect. Song: Vats of Urine Artist: Danger Doom Album: The Mouse and the Mask Comments: MF Doom's rhyme's over Danger Mouse's excellent DJ work. Strictly for the Adult Swim if you even want to "get it". Song: Tic [...]
Song: Pile Driver Artist: Clutch Album: Impteus EP Comments: This bass heavy song appeared on Clutch's early EP . Neil Fallon's vocals contain none of the signature style that he would later be known for, but the stream of consciousness lyrics are still present on this early release. Song: Milk of human kindness Artist: Clutch Album: Transnational Speedway Comments: This is off their [...]
Song: The Other Side of Summer Artist: Elvis Costello Album: The Very Best of Comments: Declan McManus does not disappoint here. From his very "pop" Mighty Like a Rose . Lots of back up vocals and vocal overdubs make this really upbeat song something of a surprise. It's not "Radio,Radio" but equally as satisfying. Song: Distance Artist: Ignite Album: Call on My Brothers Comments: Call on My Brothers is as perfect as Ignite would ever get. Very [...]
Song: Parallel or Together Artist:Ted Leo/Pharmacist Album: Tyranny of Distance Comments: When I hear songs like this by Ted Leo I am mistakenly under the impression that he can do no wrong. Song: Sweetheart Artist: My Morning Jacket Album: Chocolate and Ice EP Comments: This bongo and piano song limits the reverb to Jim James vocals. Creepy and wholly satisfying. Song: Automatic Artist: Big Collapse Album: Prototype Comments: Joshua Locke fronted the barely post hardcore [...]
Song: Black and White Artist: Henry Rollins Album: Hot Animal Machine Comments: I remember cruising down Broadway in the spring of 1988. I was with my girlfriend and another friend. We were doing what teenagers do, nothing pretty much. We got a copy of the Village Voice and saw that the Rollins Band was playing CBGB's . I didn't have any money and made up some stupid excuse not to go to the show. I bought Lifetime a couple of weeks later and was blown [...]
Song: A Distant Figure of Jon Artist: The Buff Medways Album: Medway Wheelers Comments: All the Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues This song is about wanting a man who isn't your father to be your father. Jack has some Daddy issues. Christian Shepard is a perfect/imperfect man. He was a good doctor until he started loving the bottle more than pretty much everything else. Still, Jack's issues stem from not only turning his father in but also letting his father descend into alcoholism [...]
Song: Fire of Love Artist: Jody Reynolds Album: The Legendary Jody Reynolds Comments: The original really can't do any wrong. Jody Reynolds vocals have a tinge of Roy Orbison in his vocals. Subsequent bands, other than beefing up the riff, have not changed this song a lot. This single came out in 1958 Song: Fire of Love Artist: The Gun Club Album: Miami Comments: L.A.'s Gun Club definitely put this song back on the map in the [...]
Song: Ain't Got A Clue Artist: Mexican Blackbirds Album: Just To Spite You Comments: This band is a dirtier and grittier version of The Riverboat Gamblers. To put It bluntly they are better to drink beer to and go ape shit ! Song: Back To Hell Artist: Alkaline Trio Album: Crimson Comments: This is a better than average song off a good album. I especially like Skiba and Andriano's vocals playing off each other on the chorus. This [...]
