Non-Classical Music Listening Thread!

[AnotherSpin]

Boy, I haven't listened to Spygirl (actually, the title is Spyboy--I had to doublecheck myself lol) in ages; I'll have to revisit it soon.  One thing that I noticed years ago, you can definitely tell when Daniel Lanois is (or at least was) involved in producing an album as he brings a particular soundstage to it (I also have the Dylan one that he produced.). 

This is too funny.  I just was interrupted while typing this; a friend of mine called me.  I told him what I had been listening to last night and he told me that he had listened to Wrecking Ball yesterday and we briefly discussed ELH and also the distinctive "imprint" of DL on all of the music that he's produced--you know that it's him.  He mentioned that he (upon watching a certain person's youtube content) found out that besides Dylan's Oh Mercy album that there's another Dylan one which apparently has been released that has tracks that have the DL arrangements of songs removed from the tracks.  I'll have to do some further digging.  Maybe it's Time out of Mind (I don't think that I have that one)?

Cool that you saw her and on the Red Dirt Girl tour.  I've seen her twice:  once at a festival and another time at a concert hall.

Time Out of Mind

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Gillian Welch:  The Harrow and The Harvest

Good music for a cool and rainy day.  *A contemporary singer/songwriter, acoustic, folk style.

*If you've ever watched the Cohen brothers' movie "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou", you'll have heard her sing.

As an aside, from the booklet:  "Spyboy" (a noun) is a Mardi Gras term for the person who goes ahead of the parade; a street entertainer, jester, troublemaker, scout.

Ah, I hadn't made that connection before. Though I did know the term as the scout for the Mardi Gras "Indians", thanks to multi[ple viewings of the tv show Treme.

that there's another Dylan one which apparently has been released that has tracks that have the DL arrangements of songs removed from the tracks.  I'll have to do some further digging.  Maybe it's Time out of Mind (I don't think that I have that one)?

Yeah, that's Time Out Of Mind. Apparently Dylan has been long jealous that Lanois got all the praise for Dylan's most highly regarded album of his later career, that the story is that Lanois "dragged or "coaxed" a great album out of the then sloppy and apathetic Dylan. So far I've refused play the middle-finger-to-Lanois version which is part of the "Fragments" set in the Bootleg Series.

Mitski - The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We (2023)


Wow! From that I'm straight into her previous album from last year:




aaand then her album before that: 2018's much-lauded Be The Cowboy:



oddly each one of these is 32 minutes long

Brian Eno - Before And After Science (1977)

[DavidW]

Wow! From that I'm straight into her previous album from last year:

Oh I actually listened to that one when Qobuz was curating it (and it was on the front page)!  It was pretty good.

Jennifer Lee (TOKiMONSTA) was featured on NPR today. Kind of a legend on the West Coast Electronic/Dance scene but I had never heard of her despite the 2018 Grammy nod. Listening to that disc now. Comparisons are odious but her sound does remind me a bit of 90s Moby.

Someone on YT has put up the very hard to find 1985 album by Prince spin-off band The Family, which includes the original "Nothing Cmpares 2 U", five years before Sinead:

Thanks for reminding me of this, @ando. Listening again now.

Doesn't seem like seven and a half years ago he died.
