Stand down, men! It's only smooching!

OH poo poo I AM IN

I have All Hail West Texas on Vinyl and I really want to listen through their discography at some point, I started with some of the cassettes last year after I bought AHWT but got distracted but I can use this as a reason to get back into it!

Yayyy~

Confirming that I got my role and that I haven't listened to my song yet because I just put a Boz Scaggs record on my turntable. Friday night best night~

Also Transcendental Youth, We Shall All Be Healed, The Sunset Tree, Tallahassee...

Basically just get a Mountain Goats album and start listening until you're done. Maybe avoid the weird early material, but even then it's really hard to go wrong.

I listened to the first early weird tape cause I was trying to go in order (the one with the weird japanese tv show stuff he recorded over on it) and I liked it a lot!

If you do listen to All Hail West Texas, get your hands on the liner notes from the vinyl release where he talks about each song. It's really interesting to read about his life and what he was doing at the time he wrote that album.

Musicals are bad because the acting and emotion are complete artifice, like a fake plastered-on grin. It is the uncanny valley of emotion. It grates like a scraped chalkboard.

This is incorrect and quite probably because you are listening to the wrong musicals. Songs in musicals are all written as poetry - i.e., the absolute truth of what the character is saying (this goes back to Shakespeare; characters in Shakespeare talk primarily in poetry because they are all speaking exactly how they feel; subtext as a concept in theatre hadn't arrived yet.) Yes in real life characters aren't going to burst into singing and dancing, but in real life we also aren't going to pour our feelings about death and life out to an empty room by saying "To be or not to be" to start.

A character is so overcome with emotion that he has no choice but to sing the truth about it.
Then said character is so overcome with emotion that he has no choice but to dance about how he feels.

^ That's musical theatre.

If you want recent albums with great emotion behind them I would heavily recommend Sun Kil Moon's most recent album, Benji. He's also not the best singer and the lyrics are more stream of thought meandering than polished lyrics at times but it's wonderfully and tragically autobiographical and a pretty hard hitting ride.

First track there. I actually haven't heard the whole thing (had to stop before the last two tracks) but if you dig it I recommend listening all the way through for full impact.

I started collecting vinyl again in October and I have a pretty ok size collection now between my old records, new records that I've purchased, dollar records at Savers, and my mom giving me poo poo she doesn't care about.

I've been using Discog's "random item in your collection" lately to listen through my poo poo. Right now it says I need to listen to....

The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Jazz Goes to College

So on to the TT that goes!

Today I am listening to jazz records! Started with Duke Ellington's Piano Sketches, now I'm listening to Ahmad Jamal Live at Blackhawk. Maybe some Bill Evans next? I'm in a piano jazz mood~

Go listen to Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue and get back to me! It has Bill Evans on it.

Seriously though listen to the whole thing there's a reason it is the best selling Jazz album of all time.

agree with this where from where i am sitting right now (the toilet)

Really though I was just in a game with meinberg where he replaced out because he didn't have time and was doing this poo poo initially and he ended up being town, I think? Meinberg can you confirm that, be honest now!

this feels like the town epsilon I saw in hotel california where he just says whatever was on his mind

Yeah I dunno I'm flip flopping on this :\ on the one hand I feel like he's doing this but on the other hand why as town wouldn't he just say "yeah I know that was kinda terrible sorry about that"

He's referencing all these other random things like post count without actually addressing "why did you pick her over every other person who posted videos"
