Friday Music Day

FMD: 20th July 2012

29 Comments

So, who's coming to the Lydia Loveless show at Triple Rock tonight? Only $8, as much as you were gonna pay to see another movie about batty men and their spiders. Those batty men will still be at the theatre tomorrow night, but Lydia will only be in our fine metropolis for tonight. (Tomorrow night, she's in Grand Rapids, MN.)

  1. OK, this kid has way too much time on his hands, but you've got to applaud his determination and effort. For all who wondered what Beyoncé's "Countdown" video would have looked like if the part of the pregnant pop singer had been played by an teenaged boy of Asian descent in a Snuggie.

    'Kick It Out' - Heart Little Queen
    'The New Pollution' - Beck Odelay

    Bonus: I think Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night would rank very high on list of 'My Favorite Rock n Roll singers'. Here is an example with 'The Show Must Go On'

    1. "Daft Punk is Playing at My House (Live)"
      Sounds better than Daft Punk playing at your house but prerecorded. (Or worse yet: dead!)
      That was the first LCDSS song I heard, and I thought it was so awesome. (I wish I could say that I was there when the first vinyl copy of "Losing My Edge" was played at Let It Be, but I was not.)

    2. And tickets to both concerts have been purchased. Anyone else going to either show (Rural Alberta Advantage is with Dan Mangum)?

      1. Somehow that RAA show slipped my attention thus far. I do think I'll be hitting that up.

    2. Slick Rick* “Teenage Love” The Great Adventures of Slick Rick
    3. Meat Puppets “New Gods” Meat Puppets II

    9. The Cinematic Orchestra “Channel 1 Suite” Motion
    T. Meat Puppets “Amazing”* Lollipop

    *Notes
    1&2. That's an unlikely coincidence! On my Guest VJ week, my Friday video is one artists' cover of another, and for my Random Ten, those two artists are the first two tracks.
    3. For money, not for Johnny.
    7. Not a RHCP cover.
    T. Not an Aerosmith cover. (That would be “Amazin'”.)

  10. So AMR, are you going to Lydia Loveless. This is what, the 4th time she's been here since March? I'm on the fence as I have to get up early tomorrow. I've told some other people about it too. I'm probably at 50-50 on going.

    1. Yes, I am going. Almost was gonna bring the wife, but then she realized how late it would get with 9pm doors. So we're going out to dinner and then I'm to the concert alone (or with you or my co-worker Joe).

    One of several standout tracks from her new record. Can't see how this won't make my year-end Best Of.

      1. Oooh. Thanks for the link-back. I missed that on the first go-around. Very nice.

        1. Ditto, although if it makes you feel any better, joe, I played a Tim Buckley clip at the old joint that didn't even garner a single vote.
