Track of the Day, Leap Year Edition

Mets – Willets Point Feb 24 2012 07:17 PM

Violin dubstep. On ice! [youtube:2pj7oz3p]aHjpOzsQ9YI[/youtube:2pj7oz3p] I have to confess I find this kind of awesome although I feel I should be ashamed to say so.

This Belgian guy Gotye (pronounced hilariously by my little brother as "Goat-Eye") has another single on the charts but I am digging some of his non-single album tracks. This one includes crazy ass animation, always a plus. [youtube:1f96k5bx]xWIKQMBBTtk[/youtube:1f96k5bx]

Nigerian singer-songwriter Nneka. From funk to dub to R&B to polyrhythmic rock, this is a clown car of good stuff, driven by her voice. [youtube:dcd5eakj]VilCXBcclos[/youtube:dcd5eakj]

Mets – Willets Point Mar 09 2012 07:50 AM Re: Track of the Day, Leap Year Edition

Dexy's Midnight Runners, now known just as Dexys, released their first new song in 27 years "Nowhere is Home." I like the melody but find the vocals distracting. It would probably sound better as a Hot House Flowers song with Liam Ó Maonlaí singing.

Edgy MD Mar 09 2012 08:03 AM Re: Track of the Day, Leap Year Edition

Lovely music track, but the lyric is sort of just an essay read against it with deference to the chord changes. I'm a Dexy's defender. I've followed and reviewed their career before and after their brief peak. To a lesser extent, Rowland's too. But it's been akin to watching a hacker in the box. The homers can make you lament more the thoughtlessness behind all the wild swings and misses in between. Dexy's Midnight Runners: my rock 'n' roll Dave Kingman.

I like that song too, as Stevie Nicks songs go anyway. Suffers a bit from the Big 80s production style, which really ruined her 'Rock a Little' LP (that and the drugs). But nice big hook on that one. Jim Marshall, who founded the amplifiers bearing his name, passed away. Here's a big dumb RAWK song referencing him (I think) [youtube]lVR290bND7E[/youtube]

Edgy MD Apr 06 2012 09:14 AM Re: Track of the Day, Leap Year Edition

^A real eardrum-bleeder, that one. This band was Acca/Dacca's opening acting for local tours throughout the late 80's/early 90's. Most of their songs sucked. This one was ok though. [youtube:3ip8egcd]AWrW3qJ2HOA[/youtube:3ip8egcd]

For whatever reason this morning I've been listening to the sketchy 1980s output of Blue Oyster Cult, including Buck Dharma's 1982 solo album (which I liked!). It's all incredibly uneven, and you never know what you're gonna get. Can you guess from listening to this name-dropping party anthem off the "Revolution by Night" album who the celebrity co-writer is? [youtube:1e659fs4]tq93z4i48kw[/youtube:1e659fs4]

Yeah, this thread sucks because nobody bothers to participate. The answer to the above un-guessed-at trivia question was "Ian Hunter," btw. I never listened to Warrant enough to distinguish them from a dozen other bands who to me looked and sounded just like them, but in general recognize what they're doing as an overproduced, heavier version of power pop.

I still can't locate the Ian Hunter trivia question. I've always had a soft spot for Warrant only because my sis dragged to me to one of their concerts in my youth (iirc it was my second concert ever after Bon Jovi) and I thought at the time it was a mind-blowing experience. Then I picked-up the newspaper the next day and it said the concert was shite. But they've got some good stuff, "Down Boys", "Mr Rainmaker", "Love in Stereo". Ok, maybe I should have said "some above-average stuff." Yes, more contribution to this thread would be appreciated. To make this thread more conversational, can I propose that in order to post a song, you must comment on the previous song. (We had a similar rule in the jukebox of time thread, which was awesome)

'The Only Place' by Best Coast. Californians goof around, break stuff and play a pretty catchy tune. I should have put this one up when the Mets were out there. [youtube:39kv80wn]Y18C089tt9Y[/youtube:39kv80wn]

Swan Swan H Aug 10 2012 01:42 PM Re: Track of the Day, Leap Year Edition

'Little Talks' by Of Monsters and Men. There is an instrumental bit that has become background music for a number of ads and TV segments. The video has nothing, as far as I can tell, to do with the lyrics of the song, but a lot to do with a director who watched plenty of MTV in the early '90s.

Swan Swan H Aug 11 2012 11:57 AM Re: Track of the Day, Leap Year Edition

'Ho Hey' by The Lumineers. Yes, you've probably heard it before, on an ad or a TV show. This will likely be the wedding song for our son's best friend next year. Also notable for being among the few (or perhaps the only) popular songs to make reference to the Fung Wah bus. [youtube:57pnq7ew]zvCBSSwgtg4[/youtube:57pnq7ew]

(And I only mean that, like, 20% snarky. I liked it.) For today, lemme serve up this bit, "Born To," from Mancunian-via-California weirdo Jesca Hoop.

'Nothing Left' by Girlyman. Very low budget video, but I really like these guys, and have since I first saw them at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in 2002.

The Sea The Sea (Mira Stanley and Chuck E. Costa) with a live version of Chuck's 'Restless Heart' and Townes Van Zandt's 'If you Needed Me.' I like Chuck's solo stuff a lot, but their voices together make me swoony. Just the thing to ease the pain of a four-game home sweep by the dregs of the NL West.

Twenty years ago today, Thunder's "Laughing On Judgement Day" was released, blowing my 16-year-old mind. Distinctly remember reading a track-by-track preview in one of the metal mags (Circus? Metal Edge?), thinking "wow, this sounds amazing," and buying this disc in the record store of the old Sears mall in Commack/Elwood. Album cover designed by the legendary Storm Thorgerson. Fourteen tracks, and they're all brilliant. What I would give to have seen these guys live just once... urgh. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laughing_on_Judgement_Day http://www.amazon.com/Laughing-Judgemen ... B000024ZZ0 I don't even know which track to pick; I'll go with the closest thing they had to a hit single off this album, "Low Life In High Places." [youtube]wCZe70UfjPA[/youtube]

Swan Swan H Aug 26 2012 06:36 AM Re: Track of the Day, Leap Year Edition

Oh boy, I had completely forgotten about this one until John Platt played it this morning on WFUV. Arlon Bennett's "Summer's Voice" is a tribute to the man himself, Bob Murphy. They actually played this at the stadium years ago when they honored Murph. This is the only clip I could find of the whole song, from a local access TV program. Skip to 6:40 to get to the song. They cut away for credits near the end, but the music continues and they do get the whole song in. Perfect for a day when the greedy bastards on both sides are keeping the telecast of today's game away from many of us. [youtube:3jbu2jyw]TdDv4H2py1w[/youtube:3jbu2jyw]

"End of Summer Cigarettes" by John Elliott, to mark the unofficial end of summer. Lyrics after the video, as the quality is not great. I'm stage left somewhere, one of about 60 people in a room that comfortably seats 25. "I was fine until I saw her in a dress." Simple, but perfect. [youtube:32dpnkh6]sdZiMJhrkQA[/youtube:32dpnkh6] End of summer cigarettes, undercover backyard bets, Next to me the music plays, next to her it’s better, Candy bars and shooting stars, endless fog and endless cars, I let her fall asleep so she wouldn’t catch me lookin’, I was fine until I saw her in a dress the week of end of summer cigarettes… An old friend came to visit me, I didn’t see her comin’, When I breathed her it was something like a high school football game, We took turns, we looked for signs, I knew that she would have to leave, I knew that we just couldn’t be together anymore, I showed her out, I shut the door and I was fine, Another life, another time, I showed her out, I shut the door and I was fine Wild in the evergreens, I met her there, I saw her knees, I saw her shoes outside my tent, we both went straight to sleep End of summer cigarettes, long forgotten dreamed regrets, I know that we will meet another time, I’ll be clean and she’ll be free, She’ll spend another night with me and I won’t let her fall asleep I was fine until I saw her in a dress the week of end of summer cigarettes… I was fine until I saw her in a dress.

For my money, one of the best post-9/11 song out there. It is set in the days after 9/11 (specifically the first rainy day after the attacks), and in the spring of 2002. Shindell's "I Am" is even better in my mind, but I can't find a video. [youtube:3guks9qx]yVGYY_hyr3M[/youtube:3guks9qx]

I don't know if they broke up so much as stopped existing, as for some reason they never sold a billion albums despite their first album deserving that many. They made a second album that wasn't as good as the first and that was that for them. Anyway, so I was surprised to see they had something new out again.

Mira Stanley and Chuck E. Costa with a beauty for the holidays. They did this as an encore when they played at my house on December 2, and it was just wonderful, if you will. [youtube:13mm9174]9kM7HFCCGXY[/youtube:13mm9174]

How good does that track have to be to completely steal the riff from the band's previous single and still turn out to be a classic piece of hot wax? That was pretty common for bands in creative handcuffs in the sixties. After "Hang on, Sloopy," the McCoys might release a version of "Fever," because it was already in the label's publishing catalog, but it would have the same lick from "Hang on, Sloopy," or The Champs might release a version of "Frosty the Snowman" at Christmastime, but it would have the Tequila riff backing it up, silghtly changed to fit the Frosty changes. The band might get one more minor hit out the self-referencing ripoff track, but then would fade into obscurity and derision as a one-trick pony. That the Kinks were able to rip themselves off and make something as good as or possibly better is a tribute to somebody... the producer, or possibly Ray for getting a different and equally interesting lyric and screaming vocal, or possibly Dave for getting a better and more distorted guitar solo. The used that riff once more, of course, years later for "Destroyer."
