tommy keene "deep six saturday"

Posted by doubter on Saturday, July 30th, 2011

well, ill be gosh-darned-damned, my man tommy keene as a new record coming out on 8.20 entitled behind the parade. if you arent familiar with mr keene’s work, you need to be, 4 realz! the man, in my opinion, has crafted some of the best pop/rock and cant-get-those-damn-songs-out-of-your-head infested records of the past 10-15 years. i havent heard it as of yet, but i am definitely loving the first single. if youre curious definitely start with ten years after, which is best, or at least thats my opinion.

buy it via amazon or second motion which has a bunch of bundles to choose from.

deep six saturday
on the runway off ten years after

the nevermind sessions

Posted by doubter on Thursday, July 28th, 2011

well, ill be damned! nirvana’s nevermind is turning 20, or already has. i try not to keep track of when albums have come out, cause inevitably it makes me feel really fuckin old. this momentous occasion/birthday is not helping at all in the feeling old department. regardless of my aging issues, at the time of its release to say it made an impact in my life would be the understatement of the decade. i was already a fan of bleach, but when i first heard nevermind, it spoke to me like no record had before. strangely enough though, as the years have passed i actually listen to bleach more than any of their releases. even with that said, nevermind influenced my listening habits huge time, and without it, im not sure where i would have ended up? here are the demos/sessions from one of the records that changed my musical life, nirvana’s nevermind.

1. in bloom
2. breed
3. stay away
4. polly
5. dive
6. lithium
7. sappy
8. here she comes now
9. aneurysm
10. drain you
11. endless, nameless
12. stain
13. even in his youth
14. aero zeppelin
15. verse chorus verse
16. i hate myself and want to die
17. marigold
18. moist vagina
19. gallons of rubbing alcohol flow through the strip

the deep dark woods "west side street"

Posted by doubter on Thursday, July 21st, 2011

well ill be damned! i totally missed this email, but of course it came when i was on vacation. damn canadians the deep dark woods have a new record coming out on 8.2 entitled the place i left behind – six shooter records is releasing it, btw. their 09 release, the winter hours, was one of my favorites from said year and this one seems to be continuing in that same vein of awesomeness. the place i left behind is not a summery record, by any means, and with a band name like the deep dark woods would you expect one? still, a record this good can, and should be, listened to in any season. if you were ever, or like me, still am, a fan of american music club, you should def find the deep dark woods to your extreme liking. they’re just less jazzy but more twangy. anyway, def top ten material…

west side street
all the money i had is gone off the winter hours

sparklehorse live in stockholm, 9.21.98

Posted by doubter on Thursday, July 21st, 2011


photo by tim saccenti

sup peoples? been on a bit of a sparklehorse kick as of late for no other reason except he, mark linkous was awesome. one song that always creeps me out a bit when it comes on is “sunshine” off good morning spider. at the end of the song is a portion of a voicemail left by vic chesnutt while mark was in the hospital many years ago. while it was mildly creepy back when the record was released, its even more eery now considering everything that has happened. i cant recommend the entire sparklehorse enough.

here they/he is performing dragging pianos in stockholm on 9.21.98

here it is in zip form

1. spirit dutch
2. someday i will treat you good
3. saturday
4. heart of darkness
5. junebug
6. cruel sun
7. hundreds of sparrows
8. tears on fresh fruit
9. maries little elbows
10. painbirds
11. sunshine
12. homecoming queen
13. all night home
14. happy man
15. saint mary
16. pig

top of the morning! during my trip to chicago i found myself listening to yankee hotel foxtrot over and over and over. i dont know if it was just being back in chicago that lead me to listen to it, or just that i hadnt listened to its entirety in a while. probably was a combo of both. anyway, these have been splattered across the internets for what 10 years now? but i figured i would post em just in case you missed out in the past. btw, while the cover says engineer demos, the batch that i have call this collection something different and of course i cant remember what. when i get home ill check on what they’re labeled. either way, enjoy…
