Musicological banter

[kosmo vinyl]

So because I have no life, I was watching "About A Boy" tv show last night and a song comes on that I recognize but can't quite place it.  So I fire up an app and it tells me it's The Black Lips  "I don't wanna go home".  And then I'm confused because Black Lips isn't a band I really listen to, thus further blowing my cred, so I must have heard it in passing.

So imagine my further confusion, when today I was listening to the Curtis Harding album from last year and "I Don't Wanna Go Home" comes on.  I'm thinking so is this a cover that I thought was an original, which would explain why I couldn't quite place the Black Lips version.  Harding's album is a great soul influence with punk/garage outing.

Turns out one would probably call Curtis's take a version, seeing as he co-wrote it with the band...

So because I have no life, I went to my kid's middle school dance recital last night, and this number starts that I recognize but I can't quite place it.  Turns out it its a solo track from Mickey Hart - probably off of Planet Drum.  They later danced to Massive Attack and Zee Avi (who I had never heard before, but enjoyed).

OK, I'll bite.

So because I have no life, last night I watched " Well Now You're Here, There's No Way Back", a movie about the rise and fall and attempted comeback of Quiet Riot. I've never seen a band out-Spinal Tap Spinal Tap, but lo and behold, mission accomplished. Bravo, Quiet Riot.

Because I have no life I'm reading the last Bridget Jones novel (if you can call it that)...came out at the end of 2013.. its called Bridget Jones- Mad About the Boy...

Because I have no life I stole an identity off facebook, created a fake newbie account, and solicited people on here to "assist" me in getting a London Grammar autograph.

I got to say ultimately the new Belle and Sebastian just isn't good enough..it has its moments.... but like half the album is a snoozefest....I want to love it like the classic stuff

If the whole album had been disco/dancy it might have worked...as it is there are a few nice fast paced dancy songs I really like and a lot of substandard stuff like the stuff he's been putting out for years....twee pop, baroque pop, coma inducing pop => crap

I don't know what happened to Stuart Murdoch....sometimes its hard to believe its the same guy.... for three albums and three eps not one false step (except maybe Seymour Stein which I realize some people like)

[hutch]

of course I realize Stuart didn't write or sing Seymour Stein.. the "democratization" of hte band was a disaster...

Per my Twitter feed, since I was busy DJing, Missy Elliot dropped some Cybrotron/Juan Atkins on a whole bunch of people tonight.

So the Patriots use (the somewhat cliched) 'Crazy Train' as they take the field. The Seahawks choose....'Bittersweet Symphony'?

Diarrhea Planet has the best twitter feed... They repost people tweets of bewilderment over their name and they got a bounty today when they got added to a major festival

so ...no word yet on the on sale date for Courtney Barnett

but I did see that she is opening for Belle & Sebastian a few days later in Kansas
they will be playing dates just 2 days apart in DC

Do we think they will add her as support for their Echostage show eventhough she is headlining the club 2 days earlier?

Would not seem like the smartest business move. Why would Seth do that?

seems kinda fitting, in retrospect...
