Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I love Strawberries, in fact i'm going to put it on now.
So what does Marconi playing the mamba mean? "Marconi" is referring to the radio itself. It plays a deadly snake. The snake - the mamba - is slithering from the speakers. Ready to kill greedy corporations. Ready to free the world of all that is evil, and to leave behind only the youthful idealism encompassed by the tenets of rock and roll.

I like the Anything album but it was rushed and not really given enough time to grow. Still as you mention the good is very good.Wolter wrote: ↑25 Oct 2017, 3:38pmI like Music For Pleasure.

Toots & the Maytals, 'The Best Of' (2001).
Kingston 11, JA's answer to Otis Redding. A quick, easy listen this comp is, but the remastering for this series was excellent (especially for 2001), and, really, these are some of the greatest songs ever created by anyone, ever.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?

I've listened to the new Weezer a few times and it hasn't really grabbed me, with the exception of "Weekend Woman."
Endut! Hoch Hech!

It's been slated as a complete turning-of-the-back on rock and entering the pop sphere entirely. Are you getting that?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑31 Oct 2017, 2:33pm

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
It's less obviously rock than previous Weezer, I guess, but I'd hesitate to call it pop. Or, rather, I don't know what the parameters for pop are in this case. But it's mostly whatever.Kory wrote: ↑31 Oct 2017, 5:45pmIt's been slated as a complete turning-of-the-back on rock and entering the pop sphere entirely.

The Replacements, Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, Illinois, 1989. 'With Special Guest Mr. Liquor'.
Excellent audience tape; even better performance. No knock on Bob, but Slim helped made this band (when they were on) a perfect Stonesy pop-tastic band that should have made millions and had their songs in the canon of all the classics. All the best to you and Chrissy and the kids, Slim.
