american aquarium "louisiana beauty queen" off live in raleigh

Posted by doubter on Monday, February 20th, 2012

admittedly, i was late the american aquarium party. ive said it before, and ill say it again, how the hell did this band put out 5 records before i finally heard of them and their record small town hymns – which ended up at #3 on my best of 2010 list. boggles the old noggin. i cant believe no one ever said “hey greg there’s this band you should check out cause they pretty much encompass everything you love about music, theyre called american aquarium.” nope never happened. another thing that annoys me is they tour relentlessly, i wont make up a number, but i know they are on the road more than 3/4 of any given year. i may be wrong with that, but not that far off, im sure.

stream: great lake swimmers live at schuba's 9/8/05

Posted by matt on Friday, December 2nd, 2011

As promised, here’s a Great Lake Swimmers show from Schuba’s in 2005. Oddly enough, I’ve managed to see just about every GLS show at Schuba’s except this one.

There are some of my most listened to GLS songs in this set and the seasonally-appropriate (and beautiful, even if the chorus is just a sequential listing of Toronto train stops) “I Will Never See The Sun”. The Tom Waits cover, “Innocent When You Dream” is a unique interpretation, unreleased on any albums and without a doubt one of my favorites. This band and show is worth your time.

This particular show had some limited commercial release (you can, and should, buy it here), so we’re just streaming it.

Enjoy.

jeff tweedy live at harper college 3/5/99 part 2

Posted by matt on Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Part two of the Jeff Tweedy solo show from Harper College in 1999. Part one is here.

Some great stuff. “Hoodoo Voodoo” as played here is as good as any other version I’ve ever heard. The “Red Eyed Blue/I Got You” is another highlight.

Enjoy.

jeff tweedy live at harper college 3/5/99 part 1

Posted by matt on Tuesday, November 29th, 2011

One of my all-time favorite live recordings. Part one of two. Look for the second half later this week.

Had this show for almost 10 years now and I still listen to it regularly. If I was ever in the highly unlikely situation of being forced to listen to only one Jeff Tweedy/Wilco recording for the rest of my life, there’s a legitimate chance this would be it with Being There coming in a very close second.

The quality of the recording is top shelf and the set couldnt be better for the time. Show includes tracks from all of the Wilco albums at the time, as well as a couple Tupelo songs.

Enjoy.

warren zevon live at the record plant, sausalito 7/27/78

Posted by matt on Sunday, November 27th, 2011

Wanted to put this up again, because it’s fantastic and there were a couple requests for it.

Happy Sunday afternoon. Always been a fan of Zevon. Listening to Excitable Boy as a kid got me started. As I became old enough to understand just how funny, disturbing and moving the lyrics were was when I realized the genius of Zevon. If you’ve never spent any time with his music, this is a great place to start.

Here’s a Warren Zevon show from The Record Plant in Sausalito in July of 1978. Some of his best included in this set and the recording does them justice. Apparently The Record Plant is a studio, though there’s definitely an audience on hand for this show. The beauty of live recordings, in my opinion, is not only the music but to imagine what it would have been like to be there. The thought of Sausalito in the 70′s, listening to Warren Zevon play during his prime in what I bet was a relatively small venue makes this one that much better.

Well, with the imminent arrival of my next Netflix selection — the Strummer doc, The Future is Unwritten — I am going to break out some Clash. This one’s from June, 9, 1981, at former NY holer Bond’s, aka Bond International Casino, heart of Time Square, where the Clash played 17 shows in 15 days during a marathon residency.

PS: ACHTUNG! From now on, I’m only going to post the first few tracks and then the zip. If you want to leave your opinion, one way or the other, on your preference for a couple of preview tracks+zip, please do. Some of you are appreciating the zip file, remarking that carpal tunnel is setting in. Now consider on our end, it’s +5 clicks for every single track we put up, and we certainly can commiserate. This is how I’ll do it from now on, unless you minions mutiny.

let's go upstairs and read my tarot cards

Posted by selene on Monday, July 14th, 2008

Red lips, hair and fingernails?

We’ve had a request for some Faces, and there really isn’t much out there on them, comparatively, but we do have the bootleg known as “Killer Highlights,” recorded mostly for a BBC-aired show. Some of this appears on the completist’s wet dream, “Five Guys Walk Into a Bar” box set. The batch includes Faces faves like “Had Me a Real Good Time,” “Borstal Boys” and for the first time live, “Bad n Ruin.” But more interesting are the covers — McCartney’s “Maybe I’m Amazed” balanced by Lennon’s “Jealous Guy,” The Stones’ “Love in Vain,” The Temptations’ “I’m Losing You,” and Free’s “The Stealer.”

Wilson and Alroy have a great Faces refresher, which outlines their short-lived, six-year catalogue.

RECORDING DETAILS: BBC Paris 1,2,3,5,6,7+14 1972, rest 1973
