A compilation of bands labeled "Dream Pop". Sigur Ros, Cocteau Twins, Beach House, and others. Some of these seem to be to in thrall to their effects pedals, but there's some nice stuff here.

Just got back from spending Halloween weekend down in Asheville, North Carolina for Moogfest 2010. Ostensibly a celebration of Robert Moog and his famed synthesizer, I only actually saw one band using one. That being said... awesome time!

It was really more my wife's genre of music than my own, but I still had a blast. We saw Mountain Man (sort of an acapella old-timey folk group), School of Seven Bells (fantastic guitar), my wife's favorite singer, Jonsi (the lead from Sigur Ros - billed solo, but backed up by the rest of Sigur Ros anyway confused ), Massive Attack, and my absolute favorite show of the weekend, Thievery Corporation.

Thievery Corporation was just sooooo good! I can't pin them down to a specific genre if you're not familiar with them, but it's sort of world beat meets trance. The energy at their show was just so positive, I'm an immediate convert.

The fact that almost everyone at the show was in costume made for a surreal experience... especially when, after having seen about my 20th girl dressed as Ramona Flowers, I did a double take when I saw a guy in the same costume in the men's room!

I almost posted this in my Fantabulous World of Eighties Enchantment thread in MMB, but I've started feeling a little funny about posting about music on MMB when all the musical action is going on in The Anywhere Machine.

Anyhow, lately Side Two of my old Go-Gos Greatest cassette -- originally released two decades ago;how time flies! -- has been getting played and re-played. Much as I love the pop hits on Side One, it's the more obscure songs on Side Two that I keep coming back to recently. They're darker, spunkier, harder, and punkier than people might expect if they only know the hits.

Long as I'm posting about it, I might as well run down the tracklist of Side Two and hopefully inspire some people to either fulfill their curiousity or have a nice trip down memory lane:

"You Thought"

"I'm the Only One"

"This Town"

"Lust to Love"

"Mercenary"

"How Much More"

"Turn to You"

...and just for good measure, Side One's "Get Up and Go" kicks up some dust as well, using the reliable old Bo Diddley beat.

For Christmas my wife got me the huge Beatles package that has every single Beatles album & single. I've listened to the Beatles all my life but most of those CD's were actually my parents, so now I have my own.

First up, the album I now consider to be my absolute favorite by them: Help!.

When I tell you I love this album, I can't overstate it. I'm listening to it like a pre-teen who just discovered music for the first time.

Man, what a solid album. I love, love, love the Beatles 'middle era' of their career (my parents favorite period of their music).

Just about every song on the album is an absolute classic. "Help!", the title song (and opener) is one of their best, catchiest tunes ever. "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" has long been one of my favorite songs ever (and if I could play guitar the one I would learn immediately), "You're Going to Lose That Girl" and "It's Only Love" are quintessential Beatles classics.

But my favorite right now (and it wasn't always) is "I've Just Seen a Face". What an incredible song! After all these years, it still feels so fresh and new to me. It's quick tempo and the breezy way Paul sings it make me remember the first time I realized I really had serious feelings for a girl and how happy that made me feel. It totally captures that feeling.

Great album--one of the best ever.

"Help!" itself is one of the greatest Beatles songs ever! As much as I love the chorus, the verses are just special with how the lead and background vocals interact. LOVE that song!

Personally, I'm more a fan of the Sgt. Pepper/White Album/Abbey Road era, but I admit that I haven't focused as much on the albums pre-Sgt. Peppers. Only a couple of years ago did I purchase Revolver and Rubber Soul and experienced them as their own things. I enjoyed both a lot and pledged to get all of their albums at some point, but I still haven't done so as yet. Maybe soon.


Still "Lardy" to my friends!

Traditionally, Rubber Soul has always been my favorite, but just now (within the last 48 hours) I think I'm ready to proclaim Help! as my all-time favorite. Of course, that's a tongue in check comparison because they are both utterly fantastic.

One album I've never given a chance before but I'm also listening to (rotating with Help) is Magical Mystery Tour. Mainly, the end sequence in Across the Universe with "All You Need is Love" was so damn AMAZING that I've just been obssessed by the song (see: thread I started several months ago where FL harmonized for me smile ).

I plan to give each album a solid listen to over the next few months, as well as all the singles. I'll be doing it all out of order though to keep things as fresh as possible.

Been listening to My Chem's DANGERDAYS: the true lives of the Fabulous Killjoys pretty much nonstop since I got it for X-Mas. I love how it's so different from Black Parade yet still so good. I could see LASH clubbing to Planetary (GO), and the first two singles, Na Na Na and Sing are great songs-- love the videos, especially in that they're opposites, with the upbeat feel of NNN and the downbeat vibe to Sing. My current fave is the final track Vampire Money, a punked-out old-school rocker taking a jab at the current Twilight ( lol

Interesting. I haven't listened to the pre-Rubber Soul albums in years, as I'd rather snobbishly dismissed them as a bit lightweight. You've inspired me to go back for another listen. smile

ATM, though, I'm listening to XTC's "Skylarking", the band at its most Beatles-esque thanks to Todd Rundgren's amazing production. (I think if John had still been alive in 1986, he'd probably have loved "Dear God.")

So I listened to two of the Singles compilations over the weekend, which was cool, but now I want to move onto a new Beatles album. Since I'm purposely not doing in any sort of order, I went next to SGT Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. There isn't much to say that hasn't already been said--and I've always enjoyed the album--but I plan to at least try to give it a fresh listen this week.

One thing I've noticed is I'm actually enjoying the Beatles "With a Little Help from my Friends", where I usually skipped over it since Joe Cocker has the definitive, awesome version of that song.
