Aimee Mann - Lost in Space

I don't know why I subject myself to her. She's always so... depressing. I don't often find myself in the mood for it, but sometimes I just can't resist.

Herbie Hancock, Extreme, Godsmack, Helmet...

Elspode.

Juno Reactor - Odyssey 1992-2002

Specifically, Juno Reactor - Hotaka

I've been listening to Juno Reactor's album "Shango" since I bought it a couple of weeks ago. I have "Bible of Dreams" as well.

They're both in rotation with Biosphere's Cirque and Shenzou.

Robert Randolph & the Family Band will be on the Grammys Sunday as part of a funk tribute (along with EWF, P-Funk and OutKast).

So I was out at a bar and there was a line up of local bands, one was doing alot of obscure covers and such, and this unassuming guy on organ, who hasnt sung all night takes over. He launches into Stevie Wonder's "I Was Made to Love Her". The groove, and he starts singing, and it was amazing. He hits it- even the howl. Working the harmonica parts on organ. Like a beam of freakin light. So then this song is in my head for over a week, just such a cool tune. I realize I have no Stevie Wonder, some old cassettes...all fuzzy and ancient, warped from the car. so I bought a best of Cd. I cant get it out of the player. Perfect for valentines day- chock full of groovy songs of love and joy. Hey, Hey, Hey!

Shorty better take his vitamins.:)

Stevie Wonder is a muthaphuckin pimp...'nuff said.

The Grammys are on tonight...this is the first time I've been excited about them in ages.

I know that's right! That boy need his strength.:)

Sonic Youth: Live at the Continental Club using borrowed equipment very very raw

Sonic Youth...I'm impressed, Griff.

Floetry--Floetic: It's finally available on Rhapsody...UK soul duo that now make their home in Philadelphia, more or less. Great CD...very smooth...you know what? This is probably a great CD to fuck to.

syc, i don;t often correct spelling, but when you want the word that sounds like "2" but mean "ALSO", you want "too".


....and be careful! they must have sharp edges!

Dear Jimbo,

In my previous post in this thread, I was using the preposition "to." Let me rephrase the sentence so that you may understand it:

"I would like to fuck to this CD."

I hope this helps. Remember, I'm always willing to lend a helping hand to the mentally challenged!

Your friend,

Sycamore

you were the one that ended sentence with a preposition. I was merely enhancing it's comedic value. I wasn't being literal. The hole in a cd is a good 5/8"......you'd never touch the sides. :D

Whatever, Mr. Poopy Pants.

Hey, there's more than one way to fuck a CD. Perhaps he was inserting it.

You wacky kids and your imaginations!

Currently I am developing the Sycamore Pimp Mix, featuring thus far:

--Tha Dogg Pound
--Snoop Dogg
--OutKast
--Ice-T
--George Clinton
--Ice Cube
--Stevie Wonder
--Earth Wind & Fire
--Cypress Hill

You could slap some funky Meters on that thang.

And Griff gets a cool nod for the Continental Club as well.....!

Front Line Assembly - Civilization

Ooh, 'Maniacal' is fun. =]

if you like snoop dee oh double gee, AND bluegrass, search out blues traveler's live version of GIN and Juice.......

that's pretty much everybody right?

it really is a good version, btw. i've never heard snoop's version, but i've had this version stuck in my head for 3 days now.

what's playing on the stereo
 

Ok. I can really get into this one.

John Hiatt-The Tiki Bar is open. We saw him in concert up in Park City at the high school auditoreum. Strange venue but excellent show. He stopped between songs and told stories, it was so much more of a show than one usually gets for their money.

Greatful Dead-Fillmore East-April 1971-This one is what I am listening to at work currrently. (This may also answer the pot smoking poll)

Pixies-Surfer Rosa

Nirvana-Unplugged is currently in the cd player in the car. It helps to scream the words while stuck in traffic.

Drive By Truckers-Declaration Day. "Hell no I ain't happy" Nuff said.

I LIKE YOU ALREADY

welcome home, undone

Thats The Gourds fella.

edit it was passed around misslabeled on a particular file sharing system, not that I'm calling you a cheat.

King's X - Gretchen Goes to Nebraska - Their best, I think. I just found out from AMG that the singer, Doug Pinnick, is 54 years old now. My day is ruined.

The rest of these are guitar-geek albums.

Dave Beegle - A Year Closer - he's my old guitar teacher, and a world-class player, so you should support him too ;) This album is acoustic, mostly flamenco.

Testament - The Gathering - It's metal, could you tell? Dave Lombardo is the shiznit on drums. Metallica made the big time and these guys didn't. T'ain't fair.

Dream Theater - [i]6 Degrees of Inner Turbulence[/] - John Petrucci is my favorite guitar player of all time, rockwise. This album's another epic prog-rock mastubatory 3 hour thing. I love those.

REALLY?!

thought it sonded just like john popper. i had given him a lot of credit for doin it, too. damn!. is there a published cut of it, mine's truncated.

I love King's X...they have some of the most out-there lyrics I've ever heard. I wonder how their Christian fans felt when Doug came out...that had to be a shocker.

Damn, he is old...53.

Testament weren't bad back in the day, but there was too much focus on Skolnick. When he left, most of the attention they were getting went with him.

warch and I have occasionally fair-used some stuff from parallel musical universe here. If you want to message me with an address we could put you in the loop as well. I have that cut and many others strange and wonderful,.... well wonderful to me anyway. :) g

very kind of you.

What's so cool about them is that their lyrics were such a glimpse into their personal turmoil. While some of the albums obviously came from a place of faith in God, others reflected a disillusionment with Christianity. The latest ones kind of have a redemptive theme about them again. But no matter what the lyric, the music was always strong - sometimes a little weird, but still good.

Metalheads couldn't get a handle on the fact that a thrash band had a jazz-influenced soloist. I thought that was what made em cool. Chuck Billy is probably still the dominant force, though.

Incidentally, listening to a Christian-influenced band and a scary devil band in the same sitting is jarring. :rar: + :angel: = :eek3:

Inquiring minds want to know when we can expect the Sycamore Original Album?

The 12th of Never. :D

Seriously...when it comes to the music thing, I am a fucking slackass. There are so many things running around in my head lyrically and musically, but I always waste my time on other shit...like the Cellar. :)

Any Sycamore project is going to be spoken-word...minimalist. I have a side project that I've envisioned as industrial techno...but there hasn't been a whole lot of work done with that either.

I just need to put more time and energy into it...one of these days I will...

Floetry--Floacism: I did mention how great Floetry is, right? This is their newest release, featuring some new songs along with live material. Both this CD and Floetic are so damned good, I'm going to go out and buy them. I haven't bought a CD in over 4 months.

And what was the last CD that Sycamore bought? OutKast...you know, that double CD that is fucking mind-blowing...the one that won album of the year at the Grammys and actually deserved it?

I am not a big fan of rap or hip-hop, but I have to admit to really liking "Hey Ya" very much. Infectious as hell, that one.

It takes me about four to five years to do one CD with my collaborator...so I understand.

I've been threatening one for over 10 years now, so it's probably time that I put my money where my mouth is.

Dream Theater

Dark Side of the Moog

Blind Guardian

David Arkenstone

Weird Al

The new Winamp will generate an HTML playlist if people want to post them where each of us can see them.

I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours...

Hey Ya
 

i have to agree Hey Ya is a very addicting song and when it comes on the radio while i am at work i turn it up and laugh because i work in a doctors office all the other nurses there are a little older than i am and well.... they are not to fond of the fact that i brought a radio in and put it on the stations that i like!

For the record, as a Native American, I was not offended by Andre 3000 and his performance at the Grammys. Plus, I don't watch much on CBS anyway. Therefore, I will not boycott CBS.

Anyone else here use the new Itunes?

I just bought the best of Motley Crew off Itunes. Wild Side is playing right now, Christ, I feel like a teenage punk again.

What's next, I'll be stocking beer in the fridge, have a tatoo and one of those fucking hideous piercings!

Yes, I know, I need to get out more.

I play around with Itunes, but haven't actually bought anything from them.

I still have my original collection of Motley Crue albums.

And Twisted Sister

And Dokken

And Iron Maiden

And Ratt

And (maybe I should quite while I'm ahead)

Syc, how many cds do you own?

Including all of Rho's, about 700.
