Monday, February 24, 2003 ... My brain is too fogged with fatigue to come up with any sort of intelligent (in fact it just took me 4 attempts to spell intelligent) post this morning, and there is nothing too exciting on the blogosphere either. I'm kinda at a loss for what to write about, so how about CDs. Julie, for better or worse, joined the BMG Music Club one of those ever-present "get 12 CDs for the price of 1" scams. Though this one actually seems to WORK. I don't know it is all pretty complicated. Regardless, Julie joined and I got a bunch of CDs out of the deal, and our first shipment arrived on friday: Coltrain's "Blue Train", Thelonious Monk's "Brilliant Corners", and Queens of the Stone Age's "Songs for the Deaf" as well as Kid A to replace my long lost copy. Blue Train is, as expected, insanely good. I am simultaneously angry that it took me 25 years to discover Jazz and ecstatic that I have this new world to explore. I'm slowly beginning to like Jazz Piano, and so I figured Monk would be a good entrance. I've only listened to "Brilliant Corners" once or twice, but it seems oddly familiar to me. I can't quite place it, but I KNOW that I have heard the album before, and enough to really KNOW the songs. The QotSA album was bought off the strength of the single, "No One Knows" and the fact that Dave Grohl is on the sticks for the album. I'm listening to it for the first time now, and it is hard to tell. Much heavyer than I usually listen to, but there are some KILLER hooks on the album, but there is also a large number of lame little vignettes . Which reminds me. www.allmusic.com is a great resource for anything music related. There is simply a crazy amount of information on that site. posted by JMV | 2/24/2003 12:44:00 PM | |
