No Time This Time. (Real DRUMMERS: what is it that SC is doing at the beginning? Is that what's called a "6 strike Roll"? I am attempting to learn how to play and for the life of me I can't seem to get that part down... yet!)
I've sort of madly, deeply and utterly fallen for another 2/3rds-British trio with a gangly drummer and a singer with a beautiful falsetto - gee, I guess I'm predictable.
The Bruce Springsteen shows from Giants Stadium from October 8 and 9. Born to Run and Born in the USA live.
Gotta tell you. I was not a fan of Bruce (though I certainly never took the stance of Dave Grohl, who once said, "If he's the Boss, I fucking quit"), and have not really listen to him much since the mid '80s. However, I was quite curious about the recent "full album" shows.
Wow. Just fucking fantastic. I am not sure I recall a recording before which capture's the audience's energy quite like this (though the Milwaukee Police show from 1984 is not a bad example).
Bob Mould “Life and Times” His latest solo album. Found it last week at Amoeba while there for the in store.
I think it is amazing. Have not been able to stop listening to it since I put it in the CD player in the car. The title track is stellar. He recorded it at home and played all the instruments except drums, played by Jon Wurster of Superchunk.
I was listening to my iPod in shuffle mode at work today when a track called "The Conqueror" from the Anne Dudley (from the Art of Noise) and Jaz Coleman (Killing Joke frontman) collaberation "Songs from a Victorious City" popped up. For a millisecond, I thought it was a track from the Ben Hur Live CD. So I decided to listen to the whole CD which I've owned since it first came out about 20 years ago and I gotta say parts of it are a great compliment to the Ben Hur Live CD. This does not surprise since it was Trevor Horn from the Art of Noise who introduced Stewart to the Fairlight which was an important element in shaping Stewart's career as a film composer. There was even one track that had a bass line very Klark Kent-esque in part of the song. I highly recommend it to the nutters looking for good Middle Eastern belly dancing music.

Dude, Monday was a federal holiday. What were you doing at work?
SC-There are a few crazy people on this planet. Sure sign of that is that they kinda like my music
I love Moulds stuff....he plays everything, Klark Mould.
Oh Man, such memories of his old stuff. Love his guitar and vocals !
I am listening to heaps of Tom Waits. Mostly the Live Big Time. I think that is probably the best live music show I have seen...on TV. I wish it was on DVD.
I had forgotten that Tom Waits is beyond great. Super Great.
