Ummm, I think you may be under the impression that PHIL Ramone is part of THE Ramones. But, rather than being a torn-jeans punk from Queens, Phil is a South Africa born musician (violin), composer, engineer & producer who has produced music for (acc. to Wikipedia) Burt Bacharach, Laura Branigan, Karen Carpenter, Ray Charles, Chicago, Natalie Cole, Bob Dylan, Gloria Estefan, Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, Elton John, Fito Páez, Quincy Jones, B. B. King, Julian Lennon, Madonna, Paul McCartney, George Michael, Sinéad O'Connor, Luciano Pavarotti, Andre Previn, Paul Simon, Frank Sinatra, Rod Stewart, James Taylor, Olivia Newton-John, Liza Minnelli, Barry Manilow and Clay Aiken (among others). Doesn't make him a bad guy neccesarily, just not automatically a fave of KC's

I actually think Phil Ramone gets a lot of production work because his name invokes both Phil Specter and the Ramones, even among people who don't mistake him for either.
|
| ScarletKnight41 Feb 04 2007 10:09 AM |
|
I did make that wrong assumption.
|
| sharpie Feb 04 2007 10:52 AM |

Phil Ramone even produced songs during the Phil Spector, things like "It's My Party." He's done some great work: most of the Band albums, "Blood On the Tracks", "Get Your Ya Yas Out", "Still Crazy After All These Years", "A Whiter Shade of Pale" and much more. Mostly soft stuff, though, lots of James Taylor, Liza Minnelli and so on. A very good career and a plus if he's producing.

No, some digging turns up that it was [url=http://www.lindseyartists.com/hughes.htm]The Hughes Brothers[/url] Never heard of them before but the DJ on the radio station out of Nassau Comm College has an 'I play whatever dafuck I want' show on Sunday morning and he played it.
Moi?!? I would never say such a thing. I may have commented in the past that I thought them to be a very aptly named group -- but that's not really an insult since they seemed as in on the joke as anyone. Besides, this version was so different as to be almost unrecognizable

It's not so dense like YHF and Ghost. I got the bonus DVD version and Tweedy says they record all but a couple of songs live in their loft and you can really feel the difference. They really let the songs breathe more and it just kicks ass. This is Nels Cline's first studio album with the band, too, and his guitar work is awesome.
|
| TransMonk May 25 2007 09:48 AM |
|
Nels is probably the best guitar player I've ever seen in a live club setting. I got to see him when we were playing some shows with Watt on the Engine Room tour. Totally awesome...and a really nice guy as well.
|
| sharpie May 25 2007 10:20 AM |
|
Too many reviews have called it a throwback to their first few albums but I totally disagree. Yes, it isn't as dense as the last two but this one wouldn't have happened without those two. I'd actually like a little of the denseness back next time, though maybe not to the level of a Ghost is Born. Some of Tweedy's best songwriting is present and, yes, the guitar playing is superfine.

|
| Johnny Dickshot Jun 05 2007 08:51 AM |

Yeah, not to come off any fuddyduddier than I already am, but adding rap and dance beats and scratches to pop songs only makes them suck. I like my covers faithful, like Tesla doing Led Zeppelin above, or interpreted soulfully, like Richie Havens doing the Beatles.
|
| seawolf17 Jun 05 2007 09:02 AM |
|
For what it's worth, the band is the Gym Class Heroes; a little rap-rock-pop four-piece from upstate New York. The song is called "Cupid's Chokehold." I can't get into them -- I've tried -- but they played a sold-out show on campus earlier this semester.

I know Bryan Adams is rubbish but some of his stuff brings bak good memories form my youth,like millions before me summer of 69 was one of the first riffs I ever learned....but have you heard his new song Tears of Gold...it's pure Country music...horrible.
|
| A Boy Named Seo Aug 10 2007 11:00 AM |

"Tears of Gold" is Ryan Adams, off his latest album "Easy Tiger". He's one of my favorite guys in all of music (former Whiskeytown front man). Definitely heavy country leanings, lots of lap steel and the like, but c'mon, eons better than that other hack.

All the guy is missing is arms extended with a sword and it's a classic 80's Rock cover, kinda strange for a prog-rock band.

Can't stop listening to Band of Horses. I think my #1 2007 album. Vocals in a heavy syrupy chorus, kinda like My Morning Jacket. Gorgeous melodies. Beautiful songs. Can't stop listening. I think I said that.
