PRIMAL SCREAM. SWASTIKA EYES
Angry Paranoid Scottish ex junkies get rave on it circa 1997. With Mani on Bass. Genius
PAVEMENT. GROUNDED
I was lucky enough to see this band at the Powerstation in the late 90's. My favorite song off Wowie Zowie. They played it for the first encore. Like Devendra I was High, Happy and Free.
FUGAZI, DO YOU LIKE ME?
I'm an old romantic, Guy and Ian are (obviously) old romantics..That's why Fugazi and I get on so well...
JEFF TWEEDY. SUNKEN TREASURE
I love Wilco, I love a grand statement in a rock song, and I have also had periods in my life when I have felt A) Empty inside and B) thinking I was going mad. This song resonates somewhat..
THE BEASTIE BOYS. SABOTAGE
When He's not saving Tibet and slaying Buddhist ladies + being one of the clown jewish prince's of hip hop, Adam Yauch can play bass rather well, and this song is driven by said bass. Video ain't bad either..I saw them on this tour, it was a grand old time
LCD SOUNDSYSTEM. MOVEMENT
James Murphy brings it home for the husky brothers in music. James Murphy also thinks that bass is the best instrument and is pleasingly adonoidal when he sings. I'm a sucker for a hand clap pad and bored looking New Yorkers.
QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE. LOST ART OF KEEPING A SECRET
You can take "Whatever you do, don't tell anyone" so many different ways. Reminds me of hot summer nights, an art school girlfriend and drinking whiskey with James D. And who could forget Matt "If you take the A away from Auckland and replace it with F you get Fuckland" Forte? You gotta no respect!
BLOOD ON THE WALL.MARY SUSAN
I'm totally stoked on the 90's, so are they. This is also a relationship that works well.
TV ON THE RADIO. WOLF LIKE ME
Okay, I couldn't find New Health Rock on YouTube. African American's invented Rock and Roll. Period.
AUTOLUX. TURNSTILE BLUES.
Best recorded drums I've heard in a long while. Gazy vocals and at 54 seconds it sounds like the world's ending.
RADIOHEAD.THERE THERE.
Best song for being homesick on tour ever. See above comment re grand statements in rock. Kraut rock? Ya.
DEVENDRA BANHART. SHABOP SHALOM BABY
Neither of my parents are Jewish, But they did live in Israel for a while in the 70's. I've convinced myself this is how they met.
THE FLAMING LIPS.DO YOU REALIZE??
Our Wedding song. Really. Pretty much sums things up for me.
