mostly the obvious ones. Sunn O))), Earth, Wolf Eyes...
|
ohh, more on the "metal" side of things.
check out black boned angel, who play in that style and dude's other band, birchville cat motel. bcm is one of the best drone acts ever. also, do you know nadja and/or the goslings? |
which BCM album should I start with?
and I know the name nadja, haven't heard of the goslings, and haven't listened to either band... yet |
bcm: either beautiful speck triumph if you are going for something softer and more organic or our love will destroy the world for something harsher. he does both styles amazingly.
nadja: get truth becomes death, although you pretty much can't go wrong with any of their albums, do you like jesu? the goslings: between the dead, they are a lo-fi band but their stuff goes from very my bloody valentine-like to noisy as hell, their earlier albums were more in line with earth/sunn o))) but their later ones have drums and are more extreme. |
coolio, gonna check out BCM first, though I always have a huge stack of albums to listen to, and less spare time than I used to, so it'll be a while befor I tackle all the suggestions
Have you heard the new one from Alcest? |
no, i haven't
|
imagine my bloody valentine meets drudkh.
I have it up on megaupload if you'd like the link. A lot of people I've shown it to are calling it album of the year |
ohh awesome!! but megashitter doesn't allow me to download it because it always says that the bandwidth for mexico has been used and have to send them money for me to download stuff.
if you could upload it on something else and share the link with me thru private message, that would be great. if you can't, then it's ok. anyway, i gotta go, talk to you later man! |
I'll put it on shitspace within the next day. Expect a PM

J. J. Cale. It gets better and better!
|
Cale > Clapton
|
Cale himself is an interesting person, not to mention composer. He has lived for years in a trailer. Now he works his own land, all alone. It's a pity Clapton is like, his commercial branch office.
|
I love how Cale went so long without having met Clapton. Essentially saying in every interview "he sends me money, so I don't care what he does with my songs". He's someone who clearly is just enjoying life and taking it for what its worth. Not enough musicians out there like that
|
True, he really has a stand on life. Take it as it comes.
|
No ego questions for him. That's good.
|
That's why I respect artists like him. If the artist isn't self centered it allows for them to really appreciate what's going on. Cale is one of the few artists out there who seems to genuinely be happy for all he has and doesn't focus on trying to achieve anything more than self satisfaction.
|
Yeah, he really is one of the few. Maybe Johnny Cash in his last years, I dunno. Someone who has such clarity on what he wants to do, and doesn't care about getting richer or more famous.
|
the thing is, no disrespect meant to Cash, he knew the end was coming anyways. He didn't really have any reason to think he could strive for more. He definitely had his time where he was trying to be the greatest and most famous. He only achieved that sense of self actualization around the time he also had admitted to himself that he didn't have much further to go.
|
Probably so, it so happens that not all human beings have all that clarity from the start, some have to learn it through time. Cash was a great artist, and was like that for years. True, at the beginning he was just another "pop" artist like Elvis or whatever, but the thing is he changed for good, and I don't think it was only death impending, though that's just my point of view. It is also true that Cale was like that from the start, maybe because he was used to be out of the limelight, to put it somehow. He said he liked it being the engineer or the side musician, until he got used to be in the center of attention. Cash had a complex life, many temptations, on the other hand.
|
I'm by no means criticizing Cash for his life or for being a bit egocentric, basically all of my favourite musicians are. I just mean that's what makes Cale so unique.
|
Yeah, that's right, Cale is that one in a million. I know what you mean.

I don't know much about Tim Buckley's life, but from what I've heard or read, what you say it's true. He used to live down Venice Beach, right? :) |

I think it's his guitar player (Lee Underwood) who actually lived in Venice Beach, while Tim lived in Santa Monica. Anyway, it's not far and he often hanged around there. Why, you live there ? :) |
Quote:
No, I live outside Buenos Aires... ;) I thought I had read something in the 1968 London gig liner notes about Venice Beach, and it sounded like a cool place to live for me. Jim Morrison used to hang around there, maybe that's the reason. The place resounds like some sort of sixties place for cool people. That's why I brought it to the conversation. :) |

Bright Eyes: I'm wide awake, it's morning.
I neglected this album for far too long but I don't know why. Such a fantastic record. I shouldn't let fanboys get to me. |
