We went to a show in boston and saw a band called Gime Gime and the me firsts. They played all cover songs but pumped up. They were great :thumbsup:

Discovered a group called the Barenaked Ladies. Was very dissapointed in the liner notes. :blush:

JK. I borrowed their best-of cd from the library. Very nice mainstream rock.

Their live performances are awesome. They make a point of improvising at least one new song at every concert. Fun stuff.

i am listening to...

Haunting. I am the Mercury is one of my all time favorite songs.

The CONET Project
 

Well, I must say that I have been HYPNOTIZED all day by the 4cd set called The CONET Project Recordings of Shortwave Numbers Stations. This is the weirdest stuff I have ever listened to. The story goes a little like this:

For more than 30 years the Shortwave radio spectrum has been used by the worlds intelligence agencies to transmit secret messages. These messages are transmitted by hundreds of “Numbers Stations”.

Shortwave Numbers Stations are a perfect method of anonymous, one way communication. Spies located anywhere in the world can be communicated to by their masters via small, locally available, and unmodified Shortwave receivers. The encryption system used by Numbers Stations, known as a “one time pad” is unbreakable. Combine this with the fact that it is almost impossible to track down the message recipients once they are inserted into the enemy country, it becomes clear just how powerful the Numbers Station system is.

Just freaky. I recommend listening in daytime with the lights on. Here's a sample. You have been warned.

It is entrancing. Excuse me, I suddenly have to go buy a copy of Catcher in the Rye and also investigate the interconnections between several well known political figures, an actor, and recent whale strandings.

hey, that chick was on 'this is not porn', on the page with the delivery van.

yep.
I spent the rest of the day looking over my shoulder and jumping at shadows.

Wilco, I think, is the name of the band...did a piece called Yankee Hotel Foxtrot. The stole, not "sampled" (a euphemism if I ever heard one) from this work and lost the court fight. They had to pay $$ to Irdial or the holders of the rights to the work. But it did help catapult them onto a much larger platform (NPR) from which I was able to learn about them. So, it worked out in the end.

The final crushing irony is that Irdial now has this corporate stance: Irdial-Discs Embraces the Free Music Philosophy. All the music in their catalog is freely downloadable. Now, I haven't read the license agreement, so I don't know if that would have gotten Wilco off the hook, but it does mean I don't have to order the £40 4cd set from jolly old England. Yay for me.

In fact I downloaded the whole freakin package, including PDF liner notes (kind of a spooky read), from the Internet Archive. You'll have to type up your own search. Actually I think I'll post this in the Cool Site of the Day thread too.

Enjoy!http://www.cellar.org/images/newsmilies/nervous.gif

American Analog Set is really good. An ex-coworker turned me onto them. And the Postal Service, and the LLama Farmers.
Cool band names are few and far between.
