charon 4,943 Posted April 29, 2018 Mike Peters, off mentioned on here, and his wife too.... Hard call. The Alarm or SLF I saw more. Problem is, they made a Super Group called 'Dead men walking', who were fucking great live. Members of the Alarm, SLF, Big Country, Pistols, Stray Cats, Spear of Destiny etc playing all their shit, with Peters fronting it. Yet The Alarm could kick it, even with poofy Welsh sentiment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bladan 293 Posted April 29, 2018 Jarvinen plays with Kalevala: 'Shakin' All Over' – good recording! Better than Clapton? And this super hot live track which I already posted.

Spade_Cooley 9,536 Posted April 29, 2018 Any other "odd" recommendations from Spotify? Big fan of this compilation of songs from 1950s corporate musicals. Featuring this Music Man pastiche about the brand new Oldsmobile from 1955. Sang by Bill Hayes, who's still alive and definitely QO-worthy. This is a banger as well: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,978 Posted May 5, 2018 Listening to Janelle Monae's (of recently acquired "pansexual" same) "Dirty Computer". I notice that Trump's "pussy grabbing" has entered pop culture. The album also has a guest spot for Brian Wilson, who was just recently mentioned on here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted May 5, 2018 After a five year hiatus Arctic Monkeys are back as Arctic Monkeys; at least in their nomenclature. The new album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino doesn't even come out until May 11 and it's already divisive. No singles been released yet so we only have recordings from people's pockets and the odd phone recording (strict no recording policy) from their tours opening gigs in San Diego. Very nearly as solo album, it's fairly clear these songs have been written solo by Alex and then Arctic Monkey's other bandmates have had to fight for their ideas to be included - which only a fraction have, whereas previous albums were much more written by the bands together. This one gives us three songs Four Out of Five, One Point perspective and American Sports (for some reason the chorus of Why do you only call me when your high is in the middle) in good enough recording to get a strong feeling for the album. The biggest difference is the lyrics are not the everyday realism that we've come to expect from Arctic Monkeys; it's a space-based concept album. To summarise, it's okay but after a 5 year wait for an Arctic Monkeys album it's a shame we seemed to have got the bastard love child of TLSP's (Alex Turner's and Miles Kane's side project from their main bands) Everything You've Come to Expect and a stripped back AM - I guess the heady days of FWN and WPSIAM days are well in the past to the band. I get it's a concept album, so hearing the full thing might click better on Friday. According to people actually at the gigs Turner was providing a more sober appearance than the AM tour where he frankly wasn't (to keep this DL related, scratch him off your longlist), videos seem to bare that out slightly. Hopefully there's another AM album written together properly before he returns to make the next TSLP album (him and Miles have said there'll be a third). I love Four out of Five, it's the other songs I'm concerned about... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted May 5, 2018 Certainly. You said it yourself, 5 year break. Longer than the Beatles were around almost. Yet you think there should be some continuity. There's no fucking chance that there will be much left of the previous recordings DNA , they've moved on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no fucking chance that there will be much left of the previous recordings DNA , they've moved on. But you'd expect more than a glorified Alex Turner solo album, that was the whole point of TLSP - the idea was that would allow him to vent his personal creativity and keep Arctic Monkeys as an entire band thing. It's only a few years since EYCTE came out, which is good album but the songs recorded so far seem like rejects from that album rather than even fresh Arctic Monkeys sounds. I don't mind them buggering off in a completely different direction - I stuck with them through AM. I like EYCTE so I'm okay if that's what we end up with, but at least expected something with more guitar focus or a more whole band feel (some of the videos that have come out make it seem like even the stage layout makes the other members look like Turner's hired backing band, which is just wrong) . Even AM harped back to WPSIAM in it's focus on the everyday despite a complete step change in tone, as well as those guitar sounds there famous for. The other band members and Alex have made no bones that it was nearly a solo album, but supposedly they all had enough input into it for it not to be, the recordings so far don't seem to back that claim up. If the other band members have decided "going in different directions" means "touching up Alex's songs to be a bit Arctic Monkey's" it's a bit sad, because one of the main reasons they're so good is how well they're different parts jump off each other. Nick Helders doesn't even drum in some of the new stuff, despite his rhythm being the backbone of a lot of the past songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted May 5, 2018 I have not a fucking clue about the acronyms, but I think I get the gist. A bit like The Clash from White Riot to Rock the Casbah. Side projects change direction. But then, one was The Clash, and one is Arctic Monkeys. Not really a comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TLSP = the last shadow puppets, the rest are just short names for Arctic Monkeys albums cos the titles are too long... And yeah it's different, Arctic Monkeys know note than four chords (I jest, London calling is one of my favourite albums) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charon 4,943 Posted May 5, 2018 5 years is a fucking long time tho deathers. Beatles went from bowl haircuts and court suits to tripping out their tits on acid. Clash majorly changed style. U2 went from punky to absolute wank stadium band. Simple Minds ditto. The Jam went from a punk first album to Weller being the Modfather + Style Council. 5 years, is a looooong time boyo. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
