Da Official Discontinuum Music Appreciation Thread

[kvo]

Let me prefec this with I listen almost exclusivley to Live stuff so here goes

Bela Fleck is awesome groove music, I listen to this stuff when I don't want to be distracted by the music.
Phish 92-95 are in my opinion the best, small intimate shows until summer 94, but still able to see them in small venues.
Xiaver Rudd has been grooving in my CD player he is listed on the archive and has a Dave Mathews/Paul Simon in the austaralian outback thing going for hime.
Wilco, JEff Tweedy can never go wrong
Rhett Miller and the Old 97's are good for rocking
Death Cab for Cutie has also been spinning in the CD player for a while.

For some funk in your life
Will Bernard and Motherbug or any of his side project
Robert Walters and all of his project I personally like the old Twentith Congress stuff
Charlie Hunter is incredible
Rabert Randolph is great summer music

Oh there are so many options

i found this one at the library earlier this week.  i wouldnt rush to the store to get it because some of it is really dark and depressing, but that is the mood they were trying to put out.   if you want to get a taste of what parts of black america were feeling during the civil rights movement of the 60's this will certainly bring it.



here's one that is a little more fun - buckethead from jazs fest 03' in new orleans.  for those not familiar, buckethead is maybe the baddest metal guitarist out there.  i'm offering up this show to the first three hits in my inbox.  include a name and address and i'll have it to you with a week or two.

i took a drive to macomb to check the WIU out for the weekend (and actually met, partied, and stayed with some discontinuum members which was a pretty cool connection seeing that we were all hundreds of miles away from home).   the drive took about 4 hours each way which left me with alot of time to relax on the road - listen to music and take in middle america.  i took state hwy 251 to hwy 34 to hwy 67 to get there - all two lane country road, plenty of small towns to stop in, and a extremely nice course in galesburg.   anywho, i found that you can look for some of the most obscure music and a find a few gems, but most of the good rock'n'roll is staring you down every time you turn on the radio. 

three bands that you should never leave your driveway without -

led zepplin - 1, 2, 4, bbc sessions
beatles - anything from 67' to 70'
zz top - greatest hits - i probably listened to this three times over the weekend - simple and effective

Max Roach is one of the most important drummers in jazz. He was also quite active politically even beyond the 60s.

one thing that stinks about picking up music from the library is that once you rip it onto your hard drive and return it you miss the liner notes and with alot of those old jazz sides there are alot of great musicians filling in and who is playing what - its kinda cool to know who they are (especially with guys like zappa and davis who played with some well known and phenominal musicians).  i wansnt sure what instrument he played, but looking back on it the drums did stand out a bit.   i can only listen to that album every so often, but it is so intense that it is hard to pass by sometimes - that woman that belts out 'driver man' (track 1) really paints a picture.

well, yeah; one reason , among many, to actually go out and buy the music....

- that woman that belts out 'driver man' (track 1) really paints a picture.

that's Abbey Lincoln, who was married to Max at the time. I believe she's still active. Max (unfortunately), quit playing a few years ago with arthritis in his hips and is now suffering from Alzheimer's.

typically if i find an album that is good from front to back or has a really cool pacakging (like most pearl jam albums or some compilations) i will buy them to supprt the artist, or to waste more time in best buy.  the flip side is that the indusrty has been pimping the consumer for years now so i dont feel horrible not buying it either.  my buddy showed me his i tunes set up and when he purchases an album he gets the liner notes with it as well which is pretty nice.

i burned a data cd off him a few weeks ago and he just sent me this yesterday on how to convert the i tunes m4a format into the typical wav files that are good in all cd players.

download this software and you should be able to convert m4a (itunes) file format to wav, flac or mp3....

Lately the iPod has been pumping out a lot of Dresden Dolls, Black Eyed Peas, and some other random goodness.

I'm not always a rap fan, but I've been listening to a lot of Blackalicious...hilarious name, but great stuff, lacking the ypical ego and gangsta swagger of most rap.

Typically my player has a healthy dose of Yes, King Crimson and Mahavishnu Orchestra, but I'm making a bunch of techno lately, so I'm lsitening to Astral Projection, Hallucinogen and Juno Reactor.

check out a tune online if you want...

was hanging with a few friends that attend ISU in Ames, IA.....  2pm Saturday - we were watching dirty movies on mute, drinking beer, and shuffling through the ipod - some 'yes' came on and that stuff, even though i had heard it on the radio a hundred times, had blew my mind - good rock n roll.  the mahavishnu orchestra is good, but can be a little too ochestrated at sometimes for my taste.  king crimson is one band that i have heard alot about but never really listened to.... next time i go to the library maybe.

for anyone who is a drummer out there i have a nice royce drumset with a nice sabian ride and a new zildjian hihat.  I am thinking about selling it so if anyone would possibly be interested shoot me a pm or something.  I am looking for at least $600 for it.
