Top Albums For The Week Of November 25, 2014

14/11/29 at 11.23pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

TVOTRHere’s the weekly Top 20 College Radio Albums from the Radio 200 list published by CMJ (College Media Journal). The reputable rag surveys up to 600 college radio stations of a weekly basis to compute the list.

In addition, here’s my Spicy Six Albums of the week. These are the six albums that can’t find their way out of my six disc changer. The list consists of my Top 5 Albums of the week, and one Heritage Album that’s worth dusting off and giving a listen.

Here’s the lists:
After spending two weeks in the top spot, Caribou falls to #2.   “Seeds,” the fifth studio album from TV On The Radio (pictured) takes over at #1.  Five albums are new to the countdown this week, one of which is from the Australian psychedelic seven-piece that call themselves King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, how fun!  Also new to the Top 20 is the supergroup The New Basement Tapes, the group consists of Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James and Marcus Mumford, the album was produced by T Bone Burnett.  Chaz Bundick is the mastermind behind Toro Y Moi, his latest project is called Les Sins, and “Michael” is the first release under that moniker.  Ariel Pink’s first release without his band The Haunted Graffiti jumps 126 spots to come in at #11.  The final new album to debut in the Top 20 is a reissue from Flake Music.  The band Flake Music was a five-piece that formed in 1992 by James Mercer, and released their only album “When You Land Here, It’s Time To Return” in 1997.  Four of the members of Flake Music would go on to form the original line-up of The Shins.  New at the top of my Spicy Six is the sophomore album from the London based band 2:54.  Anyone catch the documentary R.E.M. By MTV?  When was the last last time you listened to “Out Of Time?”

Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster Wish List

14/11/27 at 12.01am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Thanksgiving imageAs I sit here writing this post, I should probably be counting the things that I’m thankful for; instead I’m counting up the bands that are on my Coachella 2015 Perfect Poster Wish List.  Thanksgiving Day has always been the official start of Coachella Season, why should this year be any different?

Over the past few months, I’ve been compiling a list of bands that I want to see play the 2015 Coachella Music Festival, through my posts.  Until Coachella unveils the official line-up, I will continue to make Frequent Updates to my Perfect Poster.  By no means is this a prediction or confirmation list, that exercise is conducted by the fine folks over at the Consequence Of Sound.  In order for a band to be added to the poster, I must mention the band in an upcoming post.  Remember, my game my rules.  Below is a list of bands that have already been mentioned and are on my Wish List.  All Systems Go.

Yo Gabba GabbaGoINDEEpMusic will be out at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles for a night of family fun with Yo Gabba Gabba.  DJ Lance and his sidekicks Muno, Foofa, Brobee, Toodee, and Plex hit the stage at 5pm today.

The coolest rock show on the planet for children (and parents too) has been on tour this fall making stops in 30 U.S. cities.

The live performance was created from the Nickelodeon television show by the same name.  The television program debuted back in 2007, and is known for incorporating the indie music culture into the episodes.  Some of the noteworthy artists to appear on the program include:  The Shins, Of Montreal, Mates Of State, The Killers, The Faint, MGMT, and believe it or not, Jimmy Eat World.

Music Is Awesome!

“R.E.M. By MTV” To Premiere Saturday On Palladia & VH1 Classic

14/11/20 at 10.40pm   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

REM young photoThis Saturday (November 22) the documentary “R.E.M. By MTV” will premiere on both Palladia and VH1 Classic at 6pm Pacific Time.  The film by Alexander Young, documents R.E.M. from their early stages of becoming College Rock icons to their peak as America’s best rock & roll band.  In addition, it features drummer Bill Berry’s departure and the band and moving forward as a trio, to eventually the group’s retirement in 2011.

The film will be included in the R.E.M. box set entitled “REMTV.”  For those unfamiliar, the 6-DVD box set will include, but not limited to the follow treasures:  MTV Unplugged 1991 & 2001 with outakes, VH1 Storytellers, Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction ceremony, live footage from around the world throughout the band’s entire career, along with the film “R.E.M. by MTV.”  I have to admit , when I first heard about this monster load, the fist thing that came to mind was… who raided my VCR tape collection?   View the entire 6-DVD collection tracklist here.  The collection drops Monday November 24 and should be available in your favorite DVD retail outlets, or you can order it here.  “REMTV” makes a great Christmas gift for the hardcore R.E.M fan in your life.

REM unpluggedThis completes a busy year for the retired rock stars.  Earlier this year, the legendary Athens, Georgia band unveiled a massive collection of over 130 rarities that spans their entire career, along with the entire MTV Unplugged Sessions from 1991 and 2001 on compact disc as well as on long player.  In addition, the group made available for the first time through iTunes their debut EP Chronic Town in a standalone digital CD download.  Can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for the retired legends.

Set your VCR, TIVO, or DVR for this Saturday at 6pm, and then sit back and watch my favorite band of all-time in all its glory  For those with Directv, Palladia can be found on channel 572, if you haven’t watched VH1 since the 1999 episode of Leif Garrett: Behind The Music, VH1 Classic can be found on channel 337.   Enjoy!

Ride Reunites, Coachella Appearance Likely

14/11/20 at 1.49pm   /   by deepster19   /   2 Comments

Ride reunionWith the recent reunion success of My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, fellow legendary British shoegazers Ride have decided to reunite and join in all the gazing fun.  The band initially announced 9 tour dates that begins in Glasgow (please inform Glasgow) next May 22, and includes an appearance at the Barcelona Primavera Festival on May 29.  The only U.S. date thus far is a visit to the Big Apple on June 4

While the news may come to some as the most significant music to one’s ears since the announcement that The Stone Roses were getting back together, others may react with simply “that’s nice, now I can get on with the rest of my day.”  I could say the news comes as a surprise, but when it comes to Heritage Acts, I wouldn’t be anymore surprised if I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet.

Ride GBAAbout two weeks ago, I had the pleasure of watching Slowdive perform at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, while watching the band I thought to myself, man, the only thing better than this would be a Ride reunion, and there you go.  This isn’t the first time I’ve had Ride on the brain over the last month.  I was out with a friend back in October to see The Horrors, the band’s between set music included the Ride tune “Leave Them All Behind.”  I have since promptly dusted off the albums Nowhere and Going Black Again, as well as turned my friend on to Ride.

When I reflect back on the last few years, I’ve been fortunate enough to see many of my favorite bands from early nineties.  Lets reflect, shall we, in no particular order of course:  The Charlatans UK, Happy Monday (albeit a Shaun Ryder karaoke performance), My Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, The Stone Roses, Pulp, James, Blur, and Slowdive.  Apologies if I missed anyone.  The Ride reunion will be epic, and I will be there, come hell or high water.

What made this reunion come together was Ride guitarist Andy Bell’s former band Beady Eye recently called it quits.  Don’t get overly concerned that the band has only announced 9 dates, there will be more, tour dates galore for that matter.  When Goldenvoice feels the time is right to reveal the 2015 Coachella Line up (I believe it will come much sooner than later this year), you can bet your bottom dollar that R-I-D-E will be on line 2, possibly right under Pink Floyd.  Talk about fun, Ride hitting the main stage right before Pink Floyd on Sunday night to close out the festival, that would be fun, right?  Not to mention, Mr. Bell owes us one,  his former band Beady Eye canceled their appearance at the festival earlier this year.  Add Ride to my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List.

Here’s what Andy Bell had to say about the reunion:

“It’s going to be really cool. As we were all still friends, we always thought when the time was right we’d do it. And now the time is right.” 

Ride singer/guitarist Mark Gardener who always has been adamant that Ride would never reform, added this:

“People bought our records first time round…but our music has grown in significance since we’ve been away… We want to give the people what they want. We’d be idiots to go out and play a new album, but that’s not to say we wouldn’t make new music.” 

Not only was the time right, but I can only imagine the money is  much better than it was back in 1990.  To find out more about Ride, check out the piece I wrote on the band for Flashback Friday last year right here.

Now that we’ve gotten the Ride reunion out of the way, we start demanding a Catherine Wheel reunion.

Get reacquainted with Ride below:

turntable1The following albums dropped today and are available in your local trendy record store or on digital download.

All 3 of the bands featured this week in New Music Tuesday are on my 2015 Coachella Perfect Poster Wish List;  2:54, Parkay Quarts, and Tears For Fears.  There’s another release this week from some band called Pink Floyd, if they happen to end up on line 1 at the 2015 Coachella Festival that not only would be cool but also hilarious.  I would expect a track by track review of the new Pink Floyd album from contributing writer Present-Tense any minute now.

2:54  “The Other I”

2:54 is a London based indie rock band comprised of the Thurlow sisters, Colette and Hannah.  If you don’t know who they are, shame on you !  This is the shoegazers sophomore release, and is the follow-up to the 2012 self-titled debut.  We showed you the track “Orion” a few months back, and below is the latest single “Blindfold.”

Enjoy!

Download  “The Other I” here:

Parkay Quarts  “Content Nausea”

Over the last 2 years, this is one of my fave indie bands.  This is the Brooklyn band’s second release in 2014.  The other one, Sunbathing Animal, was released under the moniker Parquet Courts.  One of the things I like about these dudes is they don’t give a shit, they just make good music.  Presently, the band goes by Parkay Quarts, Parquet Courts, and PCPC.  How fun!

Listen to “Uncast Shadow Of A Southern Myth” here:

Download  “Content Nausea” here:

Tears For Fears

“Songs From The Big Chair” (Re-Issue)

Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith, a.k.a. Tears For Fears, are reissuing their 1985 classic album Songs From The Big Chair in a 6-disc box set.  I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing TFF and I’m hoping for a Midnight set on the Mojave stage at next April’s Coachella Festival.

Slowdive – Ace Hotel – Los Angeles – Tonight!!!

14/11/08 at 11.08am   /   by deepster19   /   0 Comment

Slowdive2GoINDEEpMusic will be out at the Ace Hotel tonight in the friendly surroundings of downtown Los Angeles for an evening of elegant shoegaze with English indie rockers Slowdive.  The pedal pushing phenoms reunited earlier this year after splitting up in 1995.

The shoegazing specialists were formed in Reading by Neil Halstead and Rachel Goswell back in 1989, and the two share guitar/vocal responsibilities.  The rest of the quintet consists of bassist Nick Chaplin, drummer Adrian Sell, and additional guitarist Christian Savill.  Over a six year career the band released three critically-acclaimed albums along with a handful of extended plays.  The band credits Pink Floyd and the Sex Pistols as their influence.  For those that enjoy fun facts, Slowdive was once known as The Pumpkin Fairies early on.

The band has been on tour since May, playing 27 music festival, not quite Outkast numbers, but still impressive.   The North American leg of the tour concludes with two nights at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles.  The setlist for the reunion tour was constructed by an online survey, Halstead says that “kids” could vote on what they wanted Slowdive to play.  Call me crazy, but the first “kid” I see tonight will be the only “kid” I see tonight.  The five-piece plans to return home and hit the studio in hopes of putting together a new album, we’ll see where that goes.  In a recent interview, Mr. Halstead indicated that the band has no aspirations of becoming a Heritage Act, or hitting the Heritage circuit.  With a limited catalogue, the band has no use for playing the same songs night after night.

The Duluth, Minnesota slowcore band Low will provide support tonight.
