I heard a story once about a local drum teacher;he met up with Buddy Rich and started saying "You`re Buddy Rich,you`re the greatest,etc."
What did Buddy Rich do?broke a drum stick on the guy`s head!.
One of coolest Buddy albums I heard is the album with Max Roach,a drum battle album,very cool with a big band,from 1959.
I also have one from 1974 called Tuff Dude which is pretty good as well.Hey Allison,I did`nt know you liked the Archers Of Loaf,Telepathic Traffic is a great tune,I have The Speed Of Cattle compilation on double vinyl,vinyl is rare where I live.
Here`s some more good tunes:
Pavement-Cut Your Hair
Yo La Tengo-Sugarcube
Bettie Serveert-Tom Boy
Versus-Yeah You
My Bloody Valentine-Only Shallow(I once saw a fashion show on tv that were playing this in the background,weird.)
Guided By Voices-Official Iron Man Rally SongListening habits can be strange sometimes,when I was younger I might listen to a few songs from an album and play them the most and not bother with the rest of it.
In the past 8 years I`ve started to listening to the entire album,looked at the liner notes after I listen to it and not always pay much attention to song titles.
These days I set the cd player on shuffle and play 5 tunes and then switch it to another cd.
For the mp3`s I taped from my computer I just play the stuff I like and skip the stuff I`m not too into.Bought these yesterday:
Archers Of Loaf-Seconds Before The Accident
Miles Davis-Miles Ahead
Ride-Smile
Mean Red Spiders-Starsandsons
Spain-The Blue Moods Of Spain
Pat Metheny/Lyle Mays-As Falls Witicha,So Falls Witicha Falls
Birddog-A Sweet And Bitter FancyI did`nt have enough money for Wayne Kramer`s The Hard Stuff(is this album good Allison?)
I talked to the guy that works at the store,never talked to this guy before,an indie fan;really cool guy,told him about this site;we talked about J,he likes More Light,You`re Living All Over Me is his fav album.
I agree with Javro;Nirvana was very popular before Kurt`s death.Nirvana`s popularity did`nt die quickly after his death,people still talk about them today,so Jaron is partly right.
Hendrix,Joplin,and Morrison deaths have made them more popluar than in their lifetime.Look at Nick Drake;hardly anyone knew his music during his lifetime,he`s become more well known over the years.I heard J say a quote once-"I contemplate suicide at least once a day,at least my album sales would go up."
I`d pick:
Dinosaur Jr-The Wagon
Modest Mouse-Dramamine
GBV-Chasing Heather Crazy
Husker Du-Eiffel Tower High
Sebadoh-Rebound
Sugar-A Good IdeaHow`s that,do you want more?
Hope you have these Matt.
Spaceboy`s right-Whatever`s cool… is not an album,some those tunes also appeared on "The Wagon" 12 inch.
I know we don`t always agree on the same music but:
MxPx-I`m OK,You`re OK-good tune,I like some of their songs,there`s this tune by the Descendents called"Get The Time",ever hear it?it screams out to be covered by MxPx.I like my heroes alive too.
Allison-that J quote is old,it was in a cd guide book I was looking at in a book store.More Light is positive I agree,so I think J is a little more optimistic than years ago.Some good tunes there,Turnipfarmer
Cranes-I was listening to Pop. 4 last night;"Can`t Get Free" is a sunny tune.
Pavement-"Major Leagues" is a good tune,have the EP of it,has 2 cool cover songs by Echo And The Bunnymen and The Fall.
Breeders-"Divine Hammer"-have the EP of that too as well as Last Splash;one of my fav Breeders tunes.
Pixies-"Monkey Gone To Heaven"-One of all time fav songs.
Buffalo Tom-"Taillights Fade"-great tune and from one of my fav albums.The Raincoats-The Raincoats
I was listening to it last night,great album.
Their cover of the Kinks` "Lola" is cool!The favorite guitarist besides J was the first poll I created so in retrospect I agree that there was`nt many options and I was mostly picking favorites;Spaceboy picked his fav songwriters so I thought I pick a few guitarists,there`s alot of other guitarists I like besides those 5;I agree it was`nt a great poll but I`ll try to learn on other polls to add more options and try to be more diversified.
By the way,I `ve heard at least 400 jazz albums before I ever bought an indie rock album.
