Let's talk about music

Not to sound hipsterish, but those are of course the obvious hits.

I like their new album, it's very intimate. I think they made a conscious effort to record an album that demands attention.

Awesome video:

Late entry to my Best Songs of 2012 list:

[Kraftster]

I was watching another live @ Mercury Lounge video and had this show up on the side bar of videos on youtube -- high-quality video full King Krule set at Mercury Lounge. For those of you that mentioned liking him.

[Gaucho]

Damn, the guy is 18.

I'm enjoying browsing everyone's current favorite albums/tracks lists.

Saw Neil Young and Crazy Horse, with Patti Smith opening, at the Bank-of-the-Month Center in Philly tonight. The Godmother of Punk and the Godfather of Grunge in one place. Good show, imo.

[Aside: I made a point to flip off the Flyers banners when the hub was on a beer run. It occurred to me that it might be the only time this year I get to do it.]

I am jealous. I am a huge NY & Crazy Horse fan, and he isn't playing anywhere in the southeast, at least so far. Psychedelic Pill is pretty good, for the most part.

Just found out that there are two Israeli-born jazz musicians by the name of Avishai Cohen. One is a bass player in his early 40s, the other is a trumpeter in his mid-30s. They aren't related, although the trumpet player has two siblings that are jazz musicians of note.

^ That's pretty cool.

[Sarcastic]

If you like Jazz guitar, you gotta watch this gentleman play.

[Digitalgypsy66]

^Cool stuff there.

Here's some Kenny Burrell, playing Miles Davis' All Blues:

[Sarcastic]

I like that. Nice bass solo too.

[Sarcastic]

I was listening to this yesterday. Full concert.

[Sarcastic]

Man, that opening bass. Sweet as candy.

[Sarcastic]

That's an amazing concert, by the way. Listened to it again now. Oscar on piano and two terrific players on guitar and bass. I'm going to listen to it again and again.

[Digitalgypsy66]

Yeah, it is really good. Sad to hear Peterson passed away a few years ago.

[Gaucho]

Pretty damn good.

[FreeCandy44]

I am a gigantic Deftones fan. I must say that the new album is a disappointment. I like Tempest and Leathers....but the rest of the album is kind of slow and depressing. Since they are in the post Chi era, Diamond Eyes is much better. This could change once I listen to it a couple more time. But so far...thumbs down.

The new single by The Lilys is pretty nice (if you're into swirly psych-pop):

A friend's friend flew all the way from Germany to NY to see this.

Here's the Top 10 of Uncut's Albums of the Year list:

10 Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball
09 Neil Young & Crazy Horse – Psychedelic Pill
08 Grizzly Bear – Shields
07 Ty Segall & White Fence – Hair
06 Bill Fay – Life is People
05 Frank Ocean – Channel Orange
04 Dr. John – Locked Down
03 Jack White – Blunderbuss
02 Bob Dylan – Tempest
01 Leonard Cohen – Old Ideas

Artists' average age must be about 67. As much as I love Leonard Cohen (and most of the others on that list) and as much I normally enjoy rading Uncut, they're seriously embarrassing themselves with their unconditional love and affection for the old guard (emphasis on guard). It is downright bizarre to see Frank Ocean on that list. I'm shocked that John Lennon's new band Tame Impala didn't make the Top 3 (they are 11th).

[Troy Loney]

Can't believe the Rolling Stones record didn't make the list.

[Gaucho]

Can't believe the Rolling Stones record didn't make the list.

Guess they wanted to piss off that upstart youth mag of the same name.
