What are you listening to, right now................
-
Been many years since I've dipped into the Stones catalogue, but been playing lots from the Mick Taylor years the past couple weeks. Great stuff. <br />
<br />
What I'm looking for, and what got me playing them, was a live version Bob Dylan did of "Brown Sugar" from his 2002 tour, and I can't find it anywhere, grrrr. -
[quote name='Duluth']I've been listening to a lot of Drag City artists recently - Silver Jews, Bonnie Prince Billy and Bill Callahan<br />
<br />
<br />
Not many vids around but here 's a fan made one for a Silver Jews song<br />

Might as well throw in some kiwi stuff. I was listening to the Verlaines for the first time in ages yesterday.. they really should have even more recognition in NZ<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Also been listening to a lot of Pavement/Stepehn Malkmus. I was lucky enough to see Pavement in 3 different cities this year :drinks:<br />
<br />
Here's Malkmus covering a Verlaines song in NZ (does he really need to read the chorus??)<br />

agreed duluth, underated band in NZ. a lot of really great songs. Saw pavement last year too, at brixton academy. they butchered 'Date with Ikea@ which was one of the songs i was hoping they would play. The SM cover is a bit lame and not a patch on the original -
Have a sweet pink floyd edit:<br />

Was just sent a version from an unlabeled concert, and it sounds mighty fine. Pretty much a direct version of the original, with Bob mostly incomprehesible yet clearly changing the Jagger-Richards lyrics "just like a young girl should" and "just like a black girl should" to "just like I knew you would," which at first seemed politically correct, but on closer inspection might be Bob casting himself in the role as the slave owner rather than narrator. -

Can are awesome. As is Hawkwind! Just watched the "Lemmy" documentary yesterday, and tho' I've known a lot about him for many years, was kinda surprised to learn he's from Wales. Really cool assortment of guests in the doc too, from Captain Sensible (Damned), Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order, talks about how early N.O. was directly ripping-off Hawkwind), Metallica, and Ozzy ... who declares Lemmy as The Real King of Heavy Metal. Good stuff. -
Watch some growing pains episodes then get down with this 80's christian rocker:<br />

I'll tell you what I'm not listening to at the moment; Miley Cyrus sings Smells like teen spirit. Kurt Cobain will be spinning in his grave<br />

The first - and last - time I ever watched one of those glorified karaoke "Idol" shows, I saw a poof in a baby blue tuxedo singing the same song. Click<br />
<br />
Mind you, I saw Nirvana a few times, and the last couple times when they elevated to arenas, Kurt wasn't singing that song any more, which pisssed-off a lot of fans, yet seemed like the deliberate last remaining vestige of punk rock he was digging his fingernails. -
A performance clip and track from a guy I know. Going to his CD release on Thursday at Te Papa (open and free entry if anyone is interested) [url]http://www.tepapa.govt.nz/WhatsOn/allevents/Pages/MagnificentDyslexicCDRelease12MAY.aspx[/url]<br />

It was thirty years ago today. Bob died. I cried.
