kung Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Oh man Shain I don't even want to touch your list- I know this isn't a competition but as someone who lived in the maritimes and was forced to listen to that Great Big Sea shite I don't know what to say it's painful. I will forewarn that my list might look like an attempt to be a smarty pants or whatever but I'm just pulling the songs I feel have deeply affected me off the top of my head. I listen to a lot of singles and explore a lot of different types of music so this should be interesting. 1. Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun This is the title of their first album (I believe) and one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard but all of their stuff is. I can see why Les Claypool said seeing them actually affected his whole concept of creating music and playing live. 2. Wilco - Jesus Etc. This is just an unbelievably beautiful and sad and honest and just plain stupendous song. I find myself singing it all the time. 'Tall buildings shake voices escape singing sad sad songs'. A great moment happened at Lowell Binstock's house after Mike Fillipowitch and Scotty Farmer's show at the Rivoli with Contact- we were all singing songs and messing around and a bunch of us ended up singing this song which surprised me sort of that in this case Lowell, myself and Hundermug knew it. 3. Latyrx (Lateef and Lyrics Born) This is a little bit hectic for those uninitiated to hip hop or fast paced lyrics but would be great on a funky faster paced mix. It's basically a calling out song that sounds like it's talking about a gig in San Fran, going across the bridge 'rollin' in the brown jetta' playing at a venue and being challenged by the local hot shot- unbelievable breath control, flow, DJ Shadow production, just sick sick sick. 'I bet you thought your sexy ass was gonna make some dough on the strength of them promo pictures'. Priceless. 4. These Troubled Fields - Sarah Harmer This is originally a Nanci Griffiths song and to be honest I haven't heard that version. I'm thinking of the one off Sarah's 'Songs for Clem' (her dad) that's been followed by 'Songs with Clem'. It basically compares a troubled relationship to a troubled farm in a shattering way. Lately I relate to the content on both levels with my work and home life 5. Feist - Mushaboom Feist's really come into her own partly through being a part of the Broken Social Scene and just her own growth curve. This new one represents a real development for her (oh the album's called Let It Die) but is a touch uneven. That said the title track and really the bulk of it including Mushaboom are real life affirming take no shit sentiments. Mushaboom is a place in Nova Scotia where she imagines settling in with a man who's in it for the long haul, bundling up the kids in their snow clothes and basically to quote another song 'grow old and do some shit'.

MamaPink Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 i was listening to some sigur ros the other day kung - very pretty. I was explaining to someone that it's the kind of music you'd hear at the end of a movie when everything's coming together and people are feelin' better. A song called "Samskeyti" is my personal favorite - there isn't any singing in it, i really don't like that damn singing... it's so flat and blaaaaaaahhhhhhh.

NewRider Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Sigur Ros is very very very good... saw them at Massey once and it was amazing!!! Drive-By Truckers are still the best thing to be mentioned on this thread so far though... right on NewRider!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Low Roller Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 That's the one.... It was hard to recommend only one Catherine Wheel song since I think they are all awesome, but this was the one that got them noticed ala Radiohead's Creep.

NewRider Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 between 1996 and 1998 I must have seen over 12 Catherine Wheel shows.. did promo work for those guys as well. They are incredible band with a VERY hard core fan base... Good choice dude... my personal favorite was The Nude!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Low Roller Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 between 1996 and 1998 I must have seen over 12 Catherine Wheel shows.. did promo work for those guys as well. They are incredible band with a VERY hard core fan base... Good choice dude... my personal favorite was The Nude!!! Holy FACK! Congratulations, you just blew my mind. I only saw these guys twice, and the show I saw in Montreal in 1997 is still one of my favorite shows of all time. One of my favorite concert t-shirts is from that show "Eat My Dust You Insensitive Fuck". Do you know if these guys are still around? Their latest album Wishville was ok, but I'm worried that the band peaked with earlier recordings such as Chrome and Happy Days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Honestly I beleive they're done... the last time I saw them on the "wishville" tour they didn't even have their regular manger with them... If I ever get a hold of a scanner I'll post a bunch of pics of me with the band in Toronto, London, Kitchener ect... I doubt they'll EVER write another song like Fripp again. Do you know they'll NEVER play "Show Me Mary" live because it was written about Neil (the drummer's) wife who died in the mid-90's. I loved that song so much but we did succesfully make them bring back Fripp into rotation in '97 in Kitchener....aahhh good times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
