@Matt that’s really good. I kinda think Death Cab is underrated or maybe overlooked. I still listen to Plans and am always impressed by the songwriting

[Matt]

I listen to Transatlantic and Photo Album mostly. They’re great.

@GraemeE I need to do a deep dive into Mike Watt. And Minutemen. Thansk for posting

Brian from the young power pop lords the Lemon Twigs released a banging single from his first solo album.

Yikes!

[SKT]

One of my all-time favorite bands…Some people have it all, some all to gain

[Tago Mago]

One of my favs from Rush

[SKT]

@Tago-Mago Neil Peart doesn’t mess around

One for the guitar players.

Love this weird ass band.

Been on a Chicago blues kick from the Sympathy for the Drummer book, overcoming recent biases towards the Delta and hill blues of my home state. It’s like hearing it all over again. Bad fucking ass.

@mclaincausey I would think that the author of that book would be quite happy,and surprised to see his book referenced in a Music thread on a Denim Forum.

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 he has some stone cold takes. I loved him ripping on the Doors’ and Cream’s odd blues pretensions and really didn’t have the historical context of the “safeness” and parental compatibility of the Beatles since my view looking back always included their psychedelic era.

[SKT]

I really did love that book and all the music it led me to revisit. One thing I remember was the love shown to Charle Connor…didn’t the author reference his intro to Little Richard’s “Keep a Knockin”? Which Bonham basically lifted? I could be misremembering. Thanks again @Jett129 for passing it along

@mclaincausey am I remembering that right?

[mclaincausey]

@SKT yup, he showers a lot of the great New Orleans drummers with love including him.

One of his hot takes is that Rush pivoted to blues to prog because it was easier

[Jett129]

@SKT I’m guessing at some point we were talking about The Stones and I offered up the book,and I love the fact that you guys have been enjoying it. I’d be lying if I said I remember a lot of the specific references you guys are making,as I read it a while ago. I don’t think you need to be a drummer to enjoy it.

[mclaincausey]

@Jett129 yeah you absolutely don’t need to be a drummer at all to get a lot of joy from the book. Just a music lover.
