mm, you buying Gore and Gahan's solo albums (out in April and June, respectively)?

I haven't been listening to a lot of different shit lately. I've been listening to Bitches Brew the past few days. The first disc only has two songs--each about 20 minutes long. The second disc has 6, I believe (don't have the CDs in front of me). The longest on that CD is 17 minutes. It's not Kind of Blue, but it's definitely good stuff, and very innovative. It sounds like it should be in some kind of movie...like an old 70s blaxploitation film.

You know, I really tried to like Bitches Brew, but it's just not for me. I've been listening to more Brazillian or Afro-cuban jazz lately. Tanto Tempo by Bebel Gilberto is absolutely inspired.. and I downloaded an album called Ya Yo Me Cure by a guy named Jerry Gonzalez that is tons of fun.

But since that's on my computer, not my stereo... hmm, Brand New Day by Sting is what's on the stereo right now. Love most of the album, hate the Country / Gospel song. Yes, it's as bad as it sounds.

I understand...Miles was rather creative from the late 60s forward. I haven't listened to it in ages, but when I did (mid-90s), I didn't care for Decoy (released in 1983, I believe).

Hmm, I didn't know about these. I'm kinda behind on my Depeche Mode at the moment.

I'm interested in the Gore LP, as I've always kinda liked the songs he sings better. Is Gahan writing his own material?

I'll at least download them both. *shrugs*

They both have web sites:

http://www.martingore.com

http://www.davegahan.com

Martin's is Counterfeit 2...more covers. The first single, "Stardust," comes out April 14th in the UK. He's supposed to tour the States in the summer.

Dave is actually writing material for his...Paper Monsters, which comes out June 3rd. He'll be touring the States late summer.

Jake, do you have any Joao Gilberto? Mebbe...Bebel is related? Astrud is.
Brazil very nice. Warm breezes, cool drinks, and a hammock figures in well.
More Latin flavored Jazz now to spin:
Stan Getz- Bossa Nova
Grant Green- The Latin Bit
Vince Guaraldi- Jazz Impressions of Black Orpheus.

Joao is the husband, Astrud is his wife, and Bebel is their child.. I think. One of my favorite albums is the Getz/Gilberto album. Absolutely perfect. I love Stan Getz on his own, too. Damn, now I have to go put some bossa nova on.

If you guys are hip to brazillian stuff, there's a pianist you really need to check out. His name is Rique Pantoja and he's starting to break on the LA side of the industry. Worked with everybody down there, spent some time in Cuba and Miami, and is now out here working with everybody from Russ Miller to Jimmy Haslip and Ernie Watts. He's so legit it hurts, but the arrangements are very intelligent and accesible.

also, if you're a young punk trying to bust your chops on this stuff, he's a hell of a teacher.

Elastica--Elastica: Hadn't listened to this one in quite some time. Great band...too bad they kinda fell off the planet a few years back. Admittedly though, I haven't been keeping up too much on music lately.

Alice in Chains--Facelift: One of my favorites from high school. "Love Hate Love" has to be one of the best rock songs ever.

Miles Davis--Miles in the Sky: One of my cheapy pick-ups last night. Featuring a young George Benson on guitar, and a young Herbie Hancock on piano. This was his last release before Bitches Brew: Still has the classic jazz feel, but you could feel that something was on the horizon.

David Cross "Shut Up You Fucking Baby!": El oh el!

Roots Manuva "Run Come Save Me": Interesting production for a rap album. Reminds me of El-P.

The Wrens "The Meadowlands": Fucking brilliant indie rock.

<b>Coldplay - A Rush Of Blood To The Head</b> - I got this last night at Target. Not much to say about it yet, except that one track stands out as exceptional and I'll know more about it later. I managed to forget my iPod this morning (after I had it in my damn hand - way to go, Dave), so I can't listen to it all day at work like I was planning.
