FUSA Music Thread

Haven't listened to much RATM in the past few years, but man, they were incredible the couple of times I saw them live in the mid 90s. Thanks for the reminder.

that guy looks familiar....rocks

Nevzter, did a dingo take your music.

The sequel to last week's "Space Oddity" (which I believe was used by the official NASA feed for the moon landing -- not exactly the best choice!)

BTW: There is a release of Bowie's demo of "Space Oddity" which is pretty good for a guy singing with an acoustic guitar.

Happy Record Store Day!

Nevzter, did a dingo take your music.

Indeed, it ate me music. A solid Aussie:

I figured I'd jump in here with a quick report on last week's Coachella festival, which I was fortunate enough to attend. Also fortunate to avoid the seering triple-digit temperatures this week's crowd is experiencing.

Indeed the cool temperatures and intermittent drizzle last Friday (by some accounts, the first time it's ever rained in the festival's history) provided a perfect setting to see a couple Sheffield bands. And indeed it was Pulp that ended up a highlight of the entire weekend. Despite coming of musical age in the days of Britpop, I had never had the opportunity to see them live until last week. And they certainly impressed. The crowd was quite welcoming for what was their first show in Souther California in some 15 years.

Other highlights of the weekend definitely included Saturday's headlining slot from Radiohead, as well as sets from GIRLS, Arctic Monkeys, The Vaccines, and Wild Flag.

Awesome! Always wanted to go to Coachella but it's a pretty long trip from here in Ohio. Saw clips of the Tupac hologram which looked pretty crazy.

Glad to hear Radiohead was a highlight. I'm going to see them for the 3rd time this June in Cleveland! Can't wait to hear their newer stuff live.

I've seen Radiohead a couple of times in the early 2000s - I have to say, it was brilliant each time. Enjoy sir.

But for this post, RIP Levon Helm. Drummers as singers? Any better? Phil Collins has a shout, and maybe equal, but my mind is blank as to others right now - I'm sure there are, but I can't remember...ah, the "Last Waltz:"

[Clevelandmo]

This band was so cool. Hadnt thought about them in a while.

[DCHeather]

One of my favorite bands:




ok...one more:

[Clevelandmo]

Heather that is so funny that you posted the pixies. Right before you I was either going to post the Pixies or Poi Dog Pondering and I chose the later. The acoustic version you posted are nice!

Two more Pixie choices, but I think Here Comes Your Man is my fav.


This one is kind of messed up but I love the music

[DCHeather]

For the longest time I thought the song was just nonsensical lyrics with with a poppy music backing. But it turns out it's about the atomic bomb on Nagasaki? Sheesh, would have never figured that out without the internet.

EDIT: or is it about homeless men dying in a California earthquake?

"This is a pre-Pixies song that I wrote when I was about 15. It's about winos and hobos travelling on the trains, who die in the California Earthquake. Before earthquakes, everything gets very calm, animals stop talking and birds stop chirping and there's no wind. It's very ominous."

[SoCalJoe]

Nev, Drummers as singers? Besides Helm and Collins, Can only come up w/Don Henley and the dude from Night Ranger (cue the Alfred Molina scene from Boogie Nights).

[RDG]

Since we're off to Goodison Park, howzabout something from some Fab lads from Liverpool!
















You were expecting maybe Gerry and the Pacemakers?
