1. I Can't Get Next To You-Al Green 1971 He does a very funky version
of this Temptations hit on Al Green Gets Next To You, which I think is
his best album but there's some out that think Call Me is his classic.
Or The Belle Album. If they say so.
2. Like A Fox-Manassas
2009 Rhino has put a bunch of unreleased tracks from the Steve
Stills/Chris Hillman band of the early 70s and Pieces actually is a
better followup to their S/T double album then the 1973 halfassed Down
The Road but I'm sure Diggy would disagree with me. On a different
note, Rhino Records have laid off about 20 percent of their workforce,
but they still say they're in business. Just focusing on the digital
virtual jukebox rather than cds. Tick tick tick the end of the cd is
coming....closer closer.
3. The Night Before-The Beatles 1965
Amazing how they could crank the albums out like they did back in the
early 60s and each record got better and better.
4. Go-Pearl Jam
1992 This damn song has been ringing in my head all fraking week. May
as well torture y'all with this too. From Vs although you know by now
they got a new album out.
5. Stealin In The Name Of The
Lord-Paul Kelly 1970 another forgotten soul classic from a best of Paul
Kelly that Warner Brothers put out in the early 90s.
6.
Blackbird-Nina Simone 1963 Being on Colpix Records kinda held Nina back
but this rare single showcase the dark sparse moods that I find so
appealing when I listen to Miss Simone. Not related to the Beatles song.
7.
The Real You-Suicide Machines 1996 Yes I still listen to punk rock
once in a while why do you ask? Interesting note that this band
recorded for Hollywood Records, a division of squeaky clean Disney Inc.
Inspiration sparring....she (Muthafuka), he (fukin bitch), she
(hypocrite), Both (Blah). How they managed to drop f bomb and not get
censored is beyond me.
8. She Bangs The Drums-Stone Roses 1989
This band started the alternative rock movement with their S/T album
which got a 20th year reunion new mix. Kinda miss the original mixes
which the vocals were a bit more varied and further back in the mix but
the new mix is a sonic improvement. HOWEVER, the new version omits
Elephant Stone (but can be found on the Deluxe Edition of The Stone
Roses).
9. Remember Me Lover-Porcupine Tree 2009 This is new
prog rock for people who miss the old prog rock bands. From their new
album The Incident which is by far the best album that i have heard all
year. Miss Pink Floyd? Miss Hemispears era Rush? Buy this.
10.
Surf's Up-The Beach Boys 1972 The early 70s Beach Boys couldn't get
arrested but that doesn't mean they made forgettible albums, actually
some songs were pretty good although on this album, A Day In The Life Of
A Tree is pretty fucking awful and Mike Love's Student Demostration
Time has aged as well as moldy grapes but this title track reminds one
that when Brian Wilson had the right sound in his head, he could still
come up with some of the prettiest music ever made.
DIGGY KAT sez:
ah! Vs.! my favourite Pearl Jam album for 5 years! (until Yield came out
then that was my favourite PJ album for 8 years! [until their
self-titled one came out!])
forgive me sir, but dare i make a bold suggestion that i believe Vs. is from 1993.
