Ha ha, he does sound like the Crash Test Dummies guy.
Do you guys know if their pre-Alligator albums are any good? They have all of them at that record store on Roscoe.

So apparently they played pitchfork last year. I guess I just hadn't heard of them then.

I wish I could sing low. ;_;

Whoa, thats some interesting stuff about the CMJ submissions on Pitchfork. The headline is needlessly alarmist, but does sound like that SonicBid site needs to get its shit together.

I didn't mean to start anything -- I just wondered if my lack of attention to little details of musicianship/recording had anything to do with my inability to like this band.

IMHO Sonicbidzz blows.
Pre-Alligator = hit or miss, according to mattttttttt

Haha, I heard the tail end of "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" on WXRT this morning.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:02 (sixteen years ago) link
We went through SonicBids for our CMJ application last year and it is some b.s.

I keep forgetting to learn how to be more of a biotch to biotches.
I thought we were all singing for BJs so we could have "harmonies."
That could be misinterpreted.

little details of musicianship/recording
Oh, actually, I don't know anything about that. I definitely know that there are some things I like because I have more of a background in music theory than most people (unusual chord progressions, time signatures, etc.), but I don't know jack about recording or gear.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link

― KitCat, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
There is a "hummer" joke in there somewhere.
― dan m, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't know anything about recording or gear! But I know when they way things are recorded sound good to me. And so do you (meaning everyone).

Nick, get on gmail or call me.

Go buy them, just to put a smile on Mark's face.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:07 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm not sure I do know what sounds I like re: recording, really. I don't know that I could isolate something like that. Maybe. I dunno. I thought it was my lack of expertise but it turns out I just don't like that band's music. Oh well.
It smells like mad tuna fish in here and I don't know if I can take 2+ more hours of it.

i met mark at a party at hstencil's place about 7 years ago. fuck, MORE than 7 years ago. i've been here a long time.

Matt P. says that whenever he goes in there to give Mark a poster to put up, he always gets guilted into buying like two or three CDs. Mark even put on the new Iron & Wine while Matt was in the store to try to pique his interest.
xpost Yeah, remind me what BJs stands for?
― jaymc, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Waht is BJs? And don't say blow jobs because DUH.

I think the Solo Demos version of Okkervil River's The Stage Names may be one of my favorite things I've heard this year.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:09 (sixteen years ago) link
Gasp! Okkervil River! I forgot about that band. Boy I sure did like that one album from like... jesus, five years ago?
― Jenny, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:10 (sixteen years ago) link
I haven't listened to the OR album, something about the description made me think I wouldn't like it. Is it country-ish?
― n/a, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:11 (sixteen years ago) link
I suppose there are a couple of country-sounding songs if you aren't really paying attention to it, but I wouldn't use that word to describe any of it.

JA RULE The Mirror November 13 The Queens rapper spices up his latest tranche of thug-love jams with some attention-getting samples: ''Father Forgive Me'' finds Ja growling along to a prominent snippet of the Beatles' ''Eleanor Rigby,'' while ''300'' features macho dialogue from the flick of the same name.
As if he wasn't annoying enough already.

his latest tranche of thug-love jams his what?
― La Lechera, Tuesday, 25 September 2007 21:46 (sixteen years ago) link
I was wondering that myself. What happened with the Beatles catalog recently that led to all the rappers sampling them legally now? The new Wu-Tang has a "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" sample.
