Why is everyone so excited about Paul Newman's wife?
― OCONDOR (Pt.1), Monday, 18 January 2010 07:06 (fourteen years ago) link
Saw her play last night.
A LOT of new stuff, a few piano based numbers in the middle and <gasp> almost an outbreak of 'ROCK' was threatened until she quickly returned to the harp. Really enjoyed the long *cough* prog rock-lite *cough* arrangements and Kate Bush, I mean Joanna, sounded great.
And yes, she looked extremely teh hotness.

how were the tunes though lord byron? did you come out whistling the new ones?
― piscesx, Thursday, 21 January 2010 04:48 (fourteen years ago) link
'In California' (I guess it's called) is still in my head, but I'm no whistler I'm afraid...

A pretty good recording from the Sydney gig last week has gone up on D!MEAD0Z3N with around 6 new songs, band sounds great too, strings, brass, minimal drums.

Well, now we can reveal a little more about Have One on Me. For one thing, it's a triple album. You read that right: Have One on Me will take up three CDs and three LPs. Ambitious!

I don't mind it, but it makes it look like it's on DFA or something.

It's very pretty though kind of minor & interlude-ish compared to the other tracks :P

25 bones for a triple LP ain't bad!
I skipped Ys, proggier doesn't mean better for me, but I think she's a pretty fucking excellent lyricist & that first album had some very solid jams on it
chances of me ever making it through a triple album that's not on Dust-to-Digital or Deutsche Grammophon are like 1000-1 tho tbh
― Lee Dorrian Gray (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 20:01 (fourteen years ago) link
lyrics are even better on ys than her earlier stuff imo. snagging the not van dyke parks'd live arrangements of the songs is pretty crucial too i think. but if u cant handle 13-minute harp epics u should stop running with the big dogs and get on the porch.

if people were to ask me what single album I would advise them to listen to before they die, it's Ys. period.

porch looks pretty nice tbh
― tylerw, Tuesday, 26 January 2010 20:28 (fourteen years ago) link
xp lol you really want to advise all ppl to listen to an album that 75% of them are going to hate?

fortunately, no one asked you, kshighway ;)

but if u cant handle 13-minute harp epics u should stop running with the big dogs and get on the porch.
yeah if I'm listening to 13-minute epic songs in a rock/pop mode they better have a shredding solo and some wicked distortion or I want my money back, that is just how I break it down to an extent
I also hate Gabriel-era Genesis so even tho my hat is genuinely & sincerely off to Ms. Newsome's lyrical chops any day I gotta take a pass on any 13-minute epic songs until/unless they involve a Rat pedal & some corpsepaint
― Lee Dorrian Gray (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 20:33 (fourteen years ago) link
how about couplets about rats, is that cool?
― that sex version of "blue thunder." (Mr. Que), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 20:34 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah
Ys >>> MeM
Ys is more showtuney Americana than prog.

75% is my conservative estimate btw

its fine if u want to stay on the porch bro

i mean even that albums fans have to admit it has all the ingredients to be extremely polarizing?
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 26 January 2010 20:35 (fourteen years ago) link
also it's called Ys

Mr. Que: :-)
call all destroyer: it's definitely polarizing, and, sure, a lot of people will hate it. still, my recommendation stands. one record before you die: Ys.
― kshighway (ksh), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 20:47 (fourteen years ago) link
It's the record I'd play someone before I killed them, definitely.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Tuesday, 26 January 2010 20:52 (fourteen years ago) link
ok this is where I get pretty haterific. been listening to showtunes for the last hour-plus. to which showtunes would you compare the stuff on Ys?
still, my recommendation stands. one record before you die: Ys.
please don't say things like this about any record unless Bernard Purdie plays drums on it - thanks

oh, nothing sounds like Ys, John. Really. Nothing. I just meant more in the sense of general signifiers - the songs being written in movements, the Cole Porterish starts and stops, the orchestration, the exalted sense of drama.
