The new Against Me! which feels like a return to form of sorts. I really did not like the last two albums but I'm enjoying this. Also the new Japanther, those guys just do not make bad music. -

E-40 and Too $hort have stolen my life. There is room only for "Show Me What You Working With" until I get sick of it. I recognize this pattern. And the experimentation with Indian, African and Arabic themed beats begins again after it died after 9/11! -
My firsts discs of 2010:
Peter Gabriel - Scratch My Back. Suspect this'll grow on me - the quieter strings-and-voice-primarily arrangements work better for some tracks than others. I also suspect the real fun will begin when more of the artists covered here will reciprocate with their covers of Gabriel's music - I'm as eager to know what tracks Radiohead, David Byrne, and Neil Young will cover as to actually hear them.
John Zorn - In Search of the Miraculous. Some of the tracks really sound only like "the Alhambra Trio with more musicians", but at least one track ("Mythic Etude") is absolutely mind-blowing. The vibes by Kenny Wolleson really open things up. -
Delia Derbyshire, Dudley Simpson, Brian Hodgson and David Vorhaus - The Tomorrow People Soundtrack
Andrew Hill - Point of Departure -

LADY GAGA: TELEPHONE
Tell me if this is old news: Lady Gaga isn't really all that interesting to anyone who doesn't listen to Top 40 radio for their musical diet.
I watched this because I'm a fan of Akerlund's fucked up video work, but the music, the looks, the whole vibe is just...meh. I've seen it before, and better.
It's funny to see what people are all up in arms about, but those people watch American Idol and live for MTV. They also are afraid of cold germs living on doorknobs, waiting to prey on their family...
This certainly may be old news to the music people here, but I kept wondering if I was going to "get" her at some point, see her masterplan, and all I get is "Huh, big fucking deal. I remember when (fill in the blank) did this better and first" -

I'd be curious if all those "hardcore kids" are really a cross section of bored suburban white kids who are too lazy to find cool stuff on their own. Well, you get what you are willing to work for, and if she can screw 6 million people to buy her albums because she's a default "wow, that's edgy" angle, I'll find some humor in that. Or not. -

@joe.distort & Paul Sizer
if the kids today were to see videos and performances of unbridled sexuality, their little heads would pop like yesterdays blackheads.
and paul, your right. It HAS been done before and better, edgier, sleazier, sexier. I mean who now in the mainstream would produce something like this? La Roux?? Fuck off!

@icelandbob is it just me or does the low quality actually ADD something to the Sex Dwarf video. Also, supposedly there is a Nine Inch Nails cover of that song floating around somewhere which just sounds amazing. -

And.....I attended the Star Wars In Concert this week in Hershey, PA. Excellent multimedia show, complete with symphony orchestra and lasers.

I feel dubious about the resurrection of this thread instead of the creation of a new one, but as the latter is not my prerogative I shall merely pop in and mention that I have been listening to a lot of Andrew Jackson Jihad lately, cementing my love of the "depressing lyrics warbly voice upbeat tune" genre (c.f. the mountain goats). Apparently it's a thing :P -
