That's "Just Like Heaven", not Lovesong. I love the cut-off ending. They actually ran out of tape in the studio, but the take was so good they decided to keep it! You obviously picked up the remastered CD... the original had a cover of Frampton's "Show Me the Way" instead. Also great!

The track before is "Poledo". It's a recording by Lou Barlow that was a foreshadowing of things to come with Sebadoh.

All fantastic stuff. I love the fact that the Just Like Heaven *tape edit* was actually released. And to think some bands spend days in the studio agonizing over a Protools fadeout.
I have always marveled at how mistakes can turn into fabulous disasters on tape.

One time my phone rang right on the break just before the first verse while doing a vocal track and it fit perfectly. Keeper.

I always liked music that had outside noise/sounds on them and "natural edits" like having my guitar dying mid outro solo, but just before I hit some bum notes, so I was better off. Keeper.

Most of my overdubs on record start or end with a plug coming in or out of the jack, feedback, string noise or just the some room noise after the guitar has faded out. Love it.

Wight, wight. I always get those two Cure songs mixed up for whatever reason. 311 covered 'Lovesong'. Yeah I got the remastered one, Newbury Comics has all of the DJ stuff in remastered form. My 'Green Mind' is the remastered one too.

Now I have to find an mp3 of the 'Show Me The Way' cover!

I love this stuff too on recordings. Hum and feedback at the beginning of a song lets me know it's about to rock.

Edit - also inspired 100% by this thread - listening to the Minutemen Double Nickels on the Dime. What a FANTASTIC album! I feel deprived for only finding this out now.

I just watched "We Jam Econo" documentary on the IFC the other night. What a loss with D. Boon dying. I could only image the stuff they would have put out.

Firehose wasn't bad either.

Damn - forgot to add Superchunk and Firehose to my list. I've been meaning to get after those for a long time.

Coming your way!

Get either No Pocky For Kitty, Come Pick Me Up, or Foolish. I haven't heard the entirety of the last one, but I've heard the title track, and I loved it, and All Music Guide is assuring me the rest of the album is good.

Currently listening to: A Hawk and a Hacksaw's The Way the Wind Blows. There is something totally awesome about gypsy and Eastern influenced music.

Pirate is right on. Foolish is fantastic. Also check out Here's Where The Strings Come In. Their 3 singles' compilations, Tossing Seeds, Incidental Music and Cup Of Sand, while consisting of mostly outtakes, demos, b-sides, etc are better than most bands albums. Highly recommend every relaese by them. And they always nail it live.

Foolish is GREAT! Has 3 of my all-time favorites on it... "Driveway to Driveway", "Saving My Ticket", and "Keeping Track".

+1 on "No Pocky for Kitty" also.

Listening to the Dino Jr. cover now - awesome stuff! And thanks for the tips on those albums. Man no matter how many CDs I have, there's a million more I could be listening to...

Ratdog -
Live at House of Blues, Orlando 2007-11-16
'Days between'
(and yes I was there - lighter high for this one- (2nd time ever played!!)
My favorite of many Ratdog shows. Show ended w/ Franklin's Tower. My Signature comes from that lyric.

The Minutemen were an exceptionally original band! Like a lot of other folks, I got into them via Black Flag, who were their lable mates on SST records. I got both of the SST 'Blasting Concept' compilation LPs on the same day, listened to them back to back, and became a huge Minutemen fan immediatley. I wore out my copy of the 'Paranoid Time' 7" in record time - LOL. I got way into the Meat Puppets the same way. You've just got to hear the Puppet's cover of Foghat's arrangement of "I Just Want To Make Love To You" - LOL Now That's what I call "Sexy Music"

Adding Meat Puppets to the list too. And, similar to the category of "why am I just finding these bands now" is the category "I'm an ass for not picking up something by this band until now". and the award to the ass for today goes to me for finally getting Iggy and the Stooges (remastered) classic - Raw Power. Jammin' out to that in the car this morning. What a fantastic album. So much energy, and so influential. I have no excuse for only picking this up recently...

Oh Yes The remaster is supurb, everthing in the red. Is it sacrilige to like James Williamson's riffage better than Ron Ashton? i love those jagged riffs. You may want to check out 'Kill City' by Iggy Pop and James Williamson, kind of the last Stooges output under another name. Shame that the reformed Stooges won't play some of the later stuff in their set

Currently listening to;

'On the beach' -smouldering cover of the Neil Young song by The Walkabouts, off 'Death valley Days' an excellent compilation of b sides and rareties.

'Are You Experienced' by Jimi, mindbending live version off of 'The Jimi Hendrix Concerts' on castle. Don't see this one about much but if you like Jimi this is a cracker, some raw and outragous stuff on here.

Origin of Symmetry, by Muse. I can listen to about half of this before his voice gets on my nerves.

Just to prove that all is not sweetness and light, I'd like to put the boot in on:

The Killers- Who is buying their records, and why???

Hot Chip - I blame special needs!

Kings of Leon - boring mono chord songs and a mumbling wing-nut singer.

Kaiser Cheifs - so dull.

The Ting Tings - give me a break!

Coldplay - vacuous sub U2.

I'm grumpy cos we've been sitting under a grey cloud for most of the summer and I'm fed up with it!!

KC

LOL @ The Killers. For real.

This morning I was listening to 7 Seconds "The Crew". Great straight edge hardcore punk from the late 80s. The songs "Clenched Fists, Black Eyes" & "Colourblind" are standouts from that album.

God, I love The Kinks. Massive influence on my songwriting, even my Mexican stuff. Great sound on the early stuff too, I think we might record our next batch of material in an old-school style; kick mic and one overhead, loads of ambient mics and as few overdubs as possible.

'Nothing As It Seems' by Pearl Jam from Binaural. Often disregarded as one of their 'lesser' albums, some have even gone as far as to say it was a shot at Sony to fulfill their contract obligation. This song is absolutely awesome though. Incredible use of the Fender Blender. Otherworldly.

So, I am currently streaming Hudson Bell's When the Sun is the Moon on Last.fm because I have no other choice, but let me tell you. This band is so god damned good, it is a shame that more people have not heard of them. I like to think that they're my own, secret stash of digitized, audio treasure.

I absolutely love the fuzz sound on "Slow Burn." It's so lush and full.

'Life in the City', by Neil Young from 'this notes for you' from when he thought he was a Blues brother!

'True Nature', by Janes Addiction from 'Strays' - they still got it!

'(Why Don't You) Smile (now)', by Spiritualized, an early single, cover of a barbed Lou Reed song.

Hurrah!! For The Kinks, Pancho

Spiritualized are so good. I'm playing Ladies And Gentleman, We are Floating In Space after this Yo La Tengo album is done.

Seriously, though, Electr-O-Pura is one of Yo La Tengo's better albums, and Ira Kaplan slays.

I've got the first three Springsteen CDs in the changer right now:

"Greetings From Asbury Park, New Jersey", "The Wild, The Innocent, And The 'E' Street Shuffle", and "Born To Run". 'Back Streets' is playing at this very moment

I dont care. I like "the Killers" 1st album.

Believe it or not, when building pedals I like to listen to mellower stuff. When Im rocking out and soldering at the same time, Im putting in that 4.7K where the 47K should be going, ya know. Hopped up on caffeine and lack of sleep doesnt help.

But, my last pedal, I was listening to some Marley, some Cafe Del Mar, Ibiza shit, and Amelie soundtrack... lol

Funnily enough, I listen to sports radio when building pedals. At the moment I'm listening to the sound of my own hangover...
