Listening to Bebel Gilberto's Tanto Tempo. Combined with the sunny weather atm it's making me feel really lazy. More so than usual anyway.

Old John Peel radioshows, the one I am currently listening to is from May 30th 1984 with a bit of Liverpool winning the European cup thrown in at the start, but the real star is the man himself, bloody brilliant. The music is not half bad either of course, Undertones - Teenage Kicks amongst others.Comment

Jawbox - Static
See that WMP has decided to classify it as Emo. ****ing ridiculousComment
-
I've seen the Emo tag applied to many an unlikely band. Not only that, you can pretty much guarantee that any guitar band that forms now will be classed as such by default.
Anyway, today I've been playing 'Sung Tongs' by Animal Collective.Comment

Whatever collected Bright Eyes I have on mah hard drive. Tagged most of it as "Emo" myself a few years back too...Comment

Good choice although I prefer Feels over Sung Tongs now.Originally posted by Ady View Post
I bought The Corrs album (Best Of) for ?6 the other day in HMV and am loving it; it has been so long since I have heard them play and is refreshing to listen to something a little bit different.
Runaway and Summer Sunshine are lovely songs to listen to on this warm day.Comment

Sparklehorse - Dreamt for Light Year in the Belly of a Mountain
Every summer, I have to play every Sparklehorse album at LEAST once, and the fact that the aforementioned album came out last year adds another to the list.

Just got round to giving Zeitgeist a proper listen today.
This is what I'm thinking.....
and a bit of this...Originally posted by Oh_Mutants View Post
I really like Bleeding the Orchid, That's the way (my love is) and Tarantula so far. That's the way seems to have a similar sonic style to Real Love from the Machina II album, so it gets thumbs up from me.Originally posted by spagmasterswift View Post
I think this is a great comeback to be honest, in the circumstances.
For these reasons:
* It would be ridiculous to expect them to get back into a groove they haven't had since about 1997. Yet some songs could be from that era imo (eg Tarantula).
* After 7 years of other project wankery, this LP could have been gash. It isn't. After Zwan and Corgan's solo album, it proves that he can still hit the spot. Not as often as during the Siamese/Mellon Collie era, but then he was never going to produce a regular output of that calibre again.
* There are only 2 members of the classic lineup present. Oddly enough, the same 2 as in Zwan. Maybe it goes to show that Corgan really gets his creativity in gear for the Pumpkins name. Good news for the future.
* Technically, it shows Corgan and Chamberlin still have their edge. They've both got their requisite solo bobbins out of their systems and have created a very Pumpkins-sound.
I really hope D'arcy/Melissa Auf Der Maur and Iha rejoin at one point in the future, because their input seemed to add an extra dimension to albums - in backing vocals, style, arrangement, instrumentation, or whatever - the lack of which is my only real gripe with this album so far. I always liked Iha's strummers with his weak and feeble voice
