NWR The new "What are we listening to?" thread

[Geordie Torr]

Listening to the newly released Carter USM box set of 1992 complete with a full audio of the Glastonbury 1992 set - great stuff.

I was there for that set. Have to admit it was a bit underwhelming at the time. And Primal Scream was in full Screamadelica mode on the Pyramid stage at the same time - one of my all-time gig regrets is choosing Carter over the Primals that night.

Katanga by Curtis Amy & Dupree Bolton. Stunning under the radar early 60's West Coast album reissued by Blue Note on their Tone Poet Series.

Also in honour of Australia Day, we went to KoKo to watch G-flip, very vibrant Australian LGBTQ+ advocate who played drums, keyboards and Spinal type style guitar along with strong vocals. Rammed venue, huge enthusiasm for mainly anthemic positivity. Fun gig and a commendable 90 minutes, audience howled their approval.

……comforting listening from simpler times.

Except that, whenever I hear this song I can't not see that scene with Dennis Hopper from Blue Velvet.

Teddy Swims - majestic album - Joe Cocker with an a degree of softness

Agreed,
We had just found this artist via the single that is currently in the charts.
Thank you for mentioning the album, it is just what we need right now.
Evidently this is the first part of a multi album series.
For some reason when he gets the beat going I am reminded of CeeLo Greene, which is not a pairing I would expect to reference over to Joe Cocker, but just….. Wow!

 

[Raymond Tilney]

Wonder what is going on with the upstream timeout message?

I didn't see it. A way to force one to subscribe?

2024 has been almost all Low, Red House Painters, Dirty Three, Papa M, Idaho, Sun Kil Moon, Codeine and Smog. Winter music.

Maybe a blip
All fine now

I get the CeeLo Greene reference - the first album "Sleep is Exhausting" is equally brilliant. On the new album I really like "Flame" and "Suitcase". As I also like Chris Stapleton and Luke Combs must be that slight gravel that appeals to me

Have you listened to Labradford or Pan American? Could potentially fit into that playlist, although they're situated rather more towards the sparser, more ambient end of the spectrum.

The former but not the latter. Will
head down that rabbit hole later.

Tomorrow night Sprints are in town.

Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.

I kid you not. That's the name of the band. One of my friend's daughters plays in the band and they are presently on tour around the UK. In fact they're in London on Friday and Saturday night. Shows — Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers

The girls all grew up together here in Canberra and went to the same school. Talking to one of them she said that they never really practised their instruments until they decided to form a band!

I saw them play a small gig, just before Christmas, for friends and family and I've got to say, it was such good fun. They are energetic, funny and can really rock. The banter between songs can be hilarious, such as when they introduced the next song as "their Year 10 music project".

Enjoy.

Ronnie James Dio when with Heaven & Hell (Sabbath Mk???? possibly version 22) as it was the first concert I took my eldest to way back in the time machine - I think he was 8 or 10 (I can't find a video from the London concert). Thankfully both the boys (not my daughter tho) still listen to classic rock. Reminiscing really but goes to show that I still love everything related to Black Sabbath although I was advised back in the 70s as a child that I was going through a phase (how wrong were my parents!!!). Listening, they certainly get me through my recent s#itty times. R'n'R

 

[Mark Carrington]

Doesn't mean your parents were incorrect. It's just that the phase has lasted longer than expected.

 

[Russell Faulkner]

Sprints and English Teacher last night - both really good, an energetic edge to Sprints. Both bands turn out to quite lovely people based on short interactions - and it was fun to see them out at the front enjoying each others performaces!

Wayne Kramer, who sadly left us the other day, couldn’t sing like Ted Taylor but he could move like James Brown

 

[Nigel Palesford]

Wonderful Dan. Never heard the original version. Just started Wayne's autobiography ' The Hard Stuff'. I see Ted Turner died young in Lake Charles, Louisiana mentioned in this ;

 

[Andrew Blunsden]

Terrapath by Plantoid. Not my usual listening but it’s growing on me. A bit of a throwback to Prog/Jazz Rock crossover/fusion, but with 3 minute tracks instead of 10-15 min tracks. A new band from Brighton I believe.

I think I had KOTJ(MF) on vinyl decades back. Somehow I didn't really get the worship for that record. Prefer 'Back in the USA', punk's ancestor.
