A new way of reviewing and exchanging music with each other here at the Crane Pool. The other ways have their graces, but sometimes stumble along.

2011 finds David Coverdale & Reb Beach recruiting a new merry band of pranksters to back them up as the latest incarnation of Whitesnake. Best known for "that video with whatshername dancing on the car... you know, the one who beat up her husband, that baseball pitcher guy," Whitesnake has only released three studio albums since their brilliant "Slip of the Tongue" in 1989, and despite the fact that Coverdale looks every bit of his sixty years old, this rocks pretty solidly. I give you the first single off the forthcoming "Forevermore," "Love Will Set You Free":

The Decemberists are too long too. Makes you miss the days of 45s, when people knew they had to keep a song under 3 minutes.

| LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Mar 30 2011 02:44 PM Re: Crane Pool Jukebox of Time |

Yes, but that's not a particularly long, or particularly twee Decemberists song (as opposed to some other 7-minute long mock-sea-chanties about porcelain-doll-first-wives by them I could name). That, along with its tuneful melody and restraint in other aspects, makes it a good Decemberists song, with some nice dynamic build for a midtempo number. I'll buy.

I was eagerly anticipating the Gimme Fiction album, and then I was deeply disappointed. I am a big fan of Spoon's work from Girls Can Tell thru Kill the Moonlight. Series of Sneak's is probably in my top 10 favorite albums of all-time. I love the experimentation of the band coupled with their ability to write catchy pop hooks during that span. Gimme Fiction felt too formulated and boring to me. They still make good music, they just don't get freaky enough for my tastes anymore...although I consider last year's Transference their best in a while. That 2005 effort didn't move me.

This is good. There's nothing not good about it, and nothing too annoyingly cliched except for the count-off opener. But I can't swear that if I heard it again, I'd remember having heard it before.

I don't have much to say about Garbage - I liked "Queer" at the time - but that track sounds more derivative of other Bond themes than anything Garbage ever did on their own, with maybe just a touch of trip-hop thrown in so they can say it's from the 1990's.

Garbage only seemed really resonant to me when they especially derivative, plastic; the more pastiche-y they were, the more real they seemed (sounds weird, I suppose). Also, I'm not convinced that Shirley Manson isn't a robot.

I still listen to this album a lot. A LOT a lot. Part of that's because this and the precedent Tigermilk were my entry point to their catalog; mostly, though, it's because the songs are just so... perfect. hey've done some great stuff over the years, but it all pales as a fully realized body of songs to this. They're these little jewels of gorgeous instrumentation and lovely, slightly off-kilter harmonies about these perfectly captured bitterly hateful or irredeemably tragic moments. It's like Chad and Jeremy discovered opium, Eno and a sense of humor. Given the right moment, this one and "Fox In The Snow" are like little pop karate punches to my heart.

That's a great frickin' song; I remember the Breeders as a one-hit wonder, mostly, even though we played the hell out of them in my WGSU days. I had no idea at the time that the Deals had a much more complete oeuvre. I tried to include their cover of "Lord of the Thighs" (and REM's "Toys In The Attic") on my show as much as I could, as my show of classic rock rebellion on our "alternative" format.

Yeah, two things came to mind as I wrapped up there --- a Mazzy Star song and a Transvision Vamp song, only to learn they both came out in 1990. I could have bided my time for 1990, but I had already written 500 words. Material Issue, grab a bat. Life is fraught with risk, and so is the Crane Pool Jukebox of Time. And there are many other great songs from many great years to contribute. Letting go is the secret of happiness. And you know, there's nothing wrong with contibuting a lesser song. These things need an occasional review.

Well, energy consumption would probably be down a touch, and the air would likely have a little less carbon dioxide in it. Cynical smirking aside, I wonder whether Cobain's the exception-- it does seem like a lot of rock-and-roll suicides seem to come from the end of the pop continuum that produces ostensibly cheery/pretty stuff. (Perhaps the High Fidelity riff about the false promises of pop music-- or, like, something about the dangers of William Blake-- should be written into the next edition of DSM-IV.)
|
| Edgy DC Apr 06 2011 01:41 PM Re: Crane Pool Jukebox of Time |

It depends on what you count as suicide --- are ODs and fuckups under the influence included? Because after the bassist from Alice died, I counted the number of deaths among grunge and grunge-related figures. I reached over 20 before I stopped, and that's a crew that should still pretty much be between 35 and 50.

I spent all of 1990 listening to old Bob Dylan and what was contemporary hip-hop. I don't think I have anything of value to add to 1990 so I throw it out to you, the listener at home.

This doesn't encessarily have to be songs you lived your life to. Sometimese it might be something interesting you scarcely remember and scarcely listened to back in the day, but you found yourself thinking... "1987... I wonder whatever happened to The Leather Nun" or "1980... isn't that year the Village people decided to drop the theme costumes? --- I wonder if I can find that shit," or maybe it's something you found four minutes ago Googling "Good music," and "1972." Letting go of our need to find self-validation in finding approval of our own music collection from a small group of peers, we open ourselves up to a greater validation that descends from the spheres. It's a little ironic, but wonderfully true. Except when it's not.

I firmly believe that the years between 1988 and 1994 were the golden age of music, but that was kinda boring and repetitive, no? I do remember the Charlatans UK, however, for their song "Can't Get Out Of Bed," which was a college radio song.

I did note an error occurred when I clicked play.....however you are right , part of the fun is commenting on the previous song....I found the song Bucket played....would never have guessed it was Pete Townshend, has that big band sound that was made for a charity song or 80's protest song. Wiki tells me the album was a concept album White City: A Novel , I was surprised not to see Sting and Phil Collins as musicians on the liner notes but Dave Gilmore is there....the song Bucket listed was "face the Face" , has a weird opening and never really gets going , hardly any guitar but lots of horns etc..apparently this was quite a successful album for him. no surprise to see it was featured on Miami Vice [youtube]koQS637WRAE&feature=related[/youtube]

I've never heard of Stockton's Wing or that song before, but Irish trad and early 80's music stir the nostalgia centers of brain so it felt very familiar to me. It makes me think of a less camp Dexy's Midnight Runners.

Sometimes, if you like Elvis Costello, you may find yourself reaching a point where it all feels a little much. Maybe it's your mood, or maybe it's overlistening, but you might get to where you hear the beginning chords of, say, "Peace In Our Time" or "Hurry Down Doomsday" or something and you start to feel claustrophobic. Too many twitchy words, too many half-developed ideas packed in, metaphors which are far too baroque for a three-minute pop song... too, too much.

I don't know but here we are. While the offkey teen angst of Violent Femmes liberated me track after track (as it did to countless dweebs of my general birth contingent), lending vague articulateness to the howling clash of my adolescent misery/romance/sexuality/desperate theology/anti-parent frustrations/alienation --- to say nothing of the understanding shoulder of Gordan Gano, it's the album-ending ballad (like "I Know It's True But I'm Sorry to Say" from the underappreciated followup Hallowed Ground) that continued to stick with me as I grew. The album is filled with the same intrumentation --- the acoustic guitar and bass in a furious race to get to the end of the phrase fastest and drummer Victor Delorenzo desperately trying to herd them in line. But then the delicate additions on this track --- a piano tinkling and a violin solo at the bridge --- get heard all the more for what you've been through. It's like I've been wrestling the angel until the break of day and I've finally surrendered and let my muscles go and I have the melancholy grace of finding out that I'm still alive and clearheaded but have to get up and start over again with the mess I've made.

| John Cougar Lunchbucket May 09 2011 01:22 PM Re: Crane Pool Jukebox of Time |

What can you say? Lotta quirky energy and sharp instrumentation packed into a 3-minute pop song. Vocalist (Nick Heyward?) sounds a little like Debbie Harry on Rapture, white people aping an emerging black dance style, also the Carribbean influence with the bongos and such definitely marks it an early 80s kinda song (Kid Creole-y). Choppy, trebly guitar reminds me of Duran Duran. Good sax solo and horns. Play it loud at a beach party, that's what I say. Better than "Love Plus One."

Serviceable vocals, uninspired but lively beat, passable melody, all in service of some really boring lyrics, which, in case you weren't bored enough by them the first time, get repeated a whole lot. Okay guitar solo.

Sheesh, if you can't opine on "Life During Wartime," what can you opine on? One of the most relentless riffs in history, whether played on a sax, a guitar, or keyboard. That riff blows through roadblocks like a van loaded with weapons. da-da-DA-da! da-da-DA-da. da-da-DAH-da-DAH-DAAAH! No wonder the song fades out while he's still singing. You just can't let up on the gas when you got riff going like that.

Cliche as it is, "Green Grass & High Tides" has a sizzlin twin geetar crescendo.

We should use the theme of this thread in our Turntable.fm room.

Thank you for rescuing this thread, and apparently crowning Gladys.

I don't know what I like best. It's either Gladys switching at tthe top of a measure from smiling about her situation to dead serious, or the Pips being coordinated but far from in synch with their moves. You didn't have to be awesome back then to move on stage, you just had to be game. I don't know what killed that --- the Jacksons? Michael himself? MTV? --- but somewhere along the line it became so that you either had to be perfect with your choreography or not bother, and stare at your feet. And so I salute the likes of the Fleshtones and OK, Go! for reminding us that being game and engaging is enough.

Were it available, I would love to do a little Being-John-Malkovich fifteen-minute portal action on Alex Chilton. 'Cause... damn. I know it's not necessary for a song's tone to reflect its subject matter exactly, but... damn. Pris-tine.
