Track:Weihnachtsgrüsse von aner Hure aus Floridsdorf (Christmas Card From A Hooker in Minneapolis)
I just realized that I was listening to Tom Waits in German. It's beautifully comic. Just had to share.

A-Z: Be Bop Deluxe

Artist:
-
Album:Postcards From The Fuutre
-
Track:
BE BOP DELUXE: This was an abrupt shift after coming off a lengthy stint of Bauhaus. Be Bop Deluxe was a... well... let's call them a Bristish progressive glam band that enjoyed modest popularity during their time. Between 1973 & 1978 they whipped out five studio albums and a live document, with a few other live discs released in later years. This is among the earliest & most mainstream/access

Rotting back in high school

Artist:

Album:Winning Losers
-
Track:
"High School" from Lou Barlow's excellent low-folk mini album "Winning Losers" has come up three times in the past week on my shuffled up iTunes. I couldn't tell you the last time I really listened to this album, but it was close enough to actual high school that (although I always loved the song) the true beauty of it was surely lost on me. Delicious!"Truth is a delusion, honesty is not the ...

A-Z: Bauhaus (the last entry today, but it's a biggie)

Artist:

Album:

Track:
BAUHAUS: I have to admit, this is a segment of the listening project that I initially dreaded. Bauhaus is a band I was introduced to by a friend 'round abouts late '94, w-a-a-a-y past their heyday. I had heard *of* them, but that was about it. My friend was an avid and obsessive fan of the defunct band. Neither of us was old enough to have (intelligently) followed the band in its prime, but...

A-Z: Bass Communion

Artist:
-
Album:3
BASS COMMUNION: We're on a roll now, kids, but don't get too excited, as this is a potential waste of your precious time. Bass Communion is a Steven Wilson side project. You might know him as the mastermind behind Porcupine Tree, a band I immensely enjoy and was only introduced to last year by a new friend. Porcupine Tree occilates between progressive and psychedelic rock, and does very int...

Track:Live At Perkins' Palace, Anytime At All
BANYAN: Hi, kids. Here's the belated next installment in my A to Z series. Banyan is a musical side-project of Stephen Perkins, best known for the now-twice-former Jane's Addiction. In essence, it's a revolving door style jazz/rock/fusion supergroup intermittently consisting of such heavy hitters as Mike Watt, Willie Waldman, Money Mark, and the incomparable Nels Cline. (For the uninitiated...

A-Z: Barbara and the Browns

Album:The Chess Story: 1947-1975
-
Track:To Know I Can't Touch
BARBARA AND THE BROWNS: I know I won't see you do this, but raise your and if you're thinking "WHO?"Isn't it funny? The things you bump into with this alphabetical order business. If you asked me about Barbara and the Browns weeks ago, I'd have had no idea what you were talking about, and only semi-confident that this might be a musical group of some kind. I also have to admit that this is ...

A-Z: Banter/3.1
-
Artist:Banter/3.1
BANTER/3.1: This is the current solo music project of my friend, Justin H. Brierley. Although I love my buddy Justin dearly, trust me folks - I'm not playing favorites here. I'm just going in alphabetical order and this happens to be how the cookie crumbles. Hell, who am I kidding? The bias isn't going to really show until I get to Mood Processor anyway. This project is based entirely on ...

A-Z: Banter Solo Trio
-
Artist:Banter Solo Trio
BANTER SOLO TRIO: This was an early solo experiemental project of my close friend, Justin H. Brierley. The original incarnation of the Banter Cycle (as Justin's various solo musical pursuits are collectively known) was seen as a multi-instrumental project focusing primarily on keyboards, but also so unlimited as to allow saxophone, slide whistle, nose flute, kazoo, and various "found" instrum...

How about that
-
Artist:
I just noticed that all of my posts on the Mog-O-Sphere give a "top artist of the month" for me. That's so cute, especially since I'm doing this A to Z thing. I was already surprised that the tracks per artist differed from the time per artist. And stuff. I guess this is a geeky post, overall, so please ignore me. The next will be a review, I promise. P.S. - I just linked Brian Eno becaus...
