The Nuge meets Fugazi

So I'm listening to Ted Nuget musing about the Ian Mackaye reference citing the Nuge as an influence.

First things first, NRA weirdness aside the Nuge rocks. His extreme right views actually make the Fugazi comparison more interesting--form over content.

That settled, listen to the percussive guitar style, I can see how Mackaye was a fan, and in turn how that may have infused into Fugazi's music. I think it was a unique sense of rhythm that really made Fugazi's music interesting. I think the Nuge may have been part of this equation , in addition to Bad Brains shift to reggae music.

Ted Nuget - Free For All

Silver Strike

I saw this band. I also played pool and video game bowling. I saw prostitutes wandering around outside the bar. Later that month, the same bar has two or three Japanese rockabilly bands playing, so I'm thinking of going back just to see big pompadours and to hear funny accents. Basically I just have to write shit here because songs this good don't really need any thinking or talking about.

Airwaves - Shine On

Airwaves - Waiting Game

Apologies

Please excuse my post below. I was genuinely excited to find a blip of record production fault - especially one that wasn't mentioned anywhere on the first few pages of a "Anne Murray"+"Grand Funk Railroad"+"st 579" search. Somehow I lost sight of the purpose of posting here: essential tracks. So please accept my apologies in the form of one of the most essential voices put to tape.
Fatima Miranda - RePercusionesI


Fatima Miranda - Dhrupad Dream

This is just a small taste of a fairly stunning body of work - most of it similar in technique (continuous multi-track recordings with little [no?] editing) - while extremely varied in style. Although the 'world' aesthetic makes some pieces slightly slippery, in every instance range, phrasing and enthusiasm have more than recovered my interest.

It had to be noted somewhere...

One of the numerous runs of Anne Murray's Snowbird was mislabeled on one side with Live Album by Grand Funk Railroad. THIS COULD BE IMPORTANT INFORMATION AT A LATER DATE.

Minimal instrumentation (in the sense that computers are the greatest of instruments!).
A wonderful voice/wonderful voicing.
Surprise music.
In a playlist sense, robust.
Not careful-ish.
Thanks Amy!!!


P.S. - Thanks to zoilus for getting me back on the internet.

No Age

I'm with David. I have LA optimism(though David's may be reserved for the suburbs). Add No Age to the list of LA area bands that are great. "Everybodys Down" is explosive. It sounds best blasting at full force, almost blowing my speakers. Yeah, then it hits--thats right drums!!
