Two thoughts before I start my randoms:
a. If you have a foreign-language album you like, but your spouse knows the language much better than you do, learn what a song means before you get your little ones hooked on it. I had Einsürzende Neubauten's Tabula Rasa in the minivan last weekend, and wanted to know what AJR (5) and LBR (3) thought of it. They really liked "Zebulon". It wasn't until I played it for EAR that I suspected the lyrics may be... suggestive.
Let my centre be your axis around which your body turns
Let me through your columns stroll along your colonnade
...
Let me through your delta swim with inclined head traverse
Let me savour the true salt of the earth, be a tongue fish in your lake
Let the way of the world on all fours play on stage as carnal choreography
...
The axe has been laid unto afore, for the garden's defloration ...
In one mouth saliva and honey's summation, for your soul's exhumation
...
I'm coming...
I guess that now, if I ever watch a German-language movie, I'll know what "Ich komme" means.
B. I've only read about half, but this interview of Taylor Swift by the famous SBGvillian interests me.
I know that some of Sigur Rós's Icelandic lyrics are not particularly kid friendly (Ný Batterí springs to mind), but the risk of the kids learning Icelandic before those lyrics would be concerning seems....low.
I assumed a lot were in Hopelandic. Many are also indecipherable due to Jónsi's vocal style.
I don't believe they were translated in the liner notes (unlike Tabula Rasa).
They are not translated anywhere but the internet.
( ) was entirely in Hopelandic, and I think subsequent albums have been a mixture of Hopelandic and Icelandic (and English, on Jónsi's solo album, which is excellent).
Dear everyone, please listen to Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats' song S.O.B.. (As the title implies, there are some naughty words in the song, so use caution as appropriate.) This song has been absolutely blowing my mind lately.

Song of the Year
Yeah, this is shooting up my chart. Great song.
I've very much enjoyed the other songs I've heard by this band too, though admittedly that's only 2 or 3.
The other day, my brother asked if I had heard this song because it, according to him, gets played on The Current every half hour. It hasnt made its way into my rotation yet.
Admittedly, that was my source for learning of the song.
1. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy “Whipped” Singer's Grave - A Sea of Tongues a. Sandhill Crane (Greater) “Loud Rattle Calls” (Cornell Master Set)
2. Lydia Loveless “Lover's Spat” Boy Crazy
3. Steve Reich “Megamix (by Tranquility Bass)”* Reich Remixed
4. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy “Quail and Dumplings”* Wolfroy Goes to Town
5. Einstürzende Neubauten “Salamandria” Interim
6. Current 93 “Then Kill Caesar” Black Ships Ate the Sky
7. Meat Puppets “Backwater (Live)” Varsity Theater, November 10, 2007* b. Golden-winged Warbler “Song” (Cornell Essential Set) c. Nelson's Sparrow (Interior) “Song and Probable 'Tic' Calls” (Cornell Master Set)
8. Bonnie 'Prince' Billy with Thomas A. Minor and the Picket Line “Little Boxes”* Funtown, Jeffersontown KY, July 26, 2008
9. Aphex Twin “To Cure a Weakling Child (Contour Regard)” Come to Daddy
T. Colleen Green “Things That Are Bad for Me” I Want to Grow Up*
*Notes:
3. A "Megamix" of Reich sounds anathema, but it's probably the second-best remix on the album. Blending "Electric Counterpoint", "Proverb", and "It's Gonna Rain (Part II)" works quite well.
(The best remix is Ken Ishii's "Come Out": new and different but really pulling on why the original is good, distilling it to its essence.)
4. With Angel Olson on background vox and a half-verse of lead.
7. Available on the internet archive. This is the concert at which I first saw Ha Ha Tonka, who opened (though it looks like that set was not recorded by the bootlegger).
8. Malvina Reynolds cover
T. h/t Zack
Once I became familiar with AO's voice, I started hearing her pop up all over Oldham's stuff.
It's just the one album (plus B-sides) and one EP of self-covers.
Really? Huh. I swore I heard her on a few different albums. Not featured, necessarily, just in the background.
She toured with him for a while*. You listening to bootlegs?
*Though setlists appeared mostly to be Wolfroy.
01. “Tonight I Have To Leave It” – Shout Out Louds – Our Ill Wills
02. “4 Better Or 4 Worse” – The Pharcyde – Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde
03. “First Love-Late Spring” – Mitski – Bury Me At Makeout Creek
04. “Nowhere Bound” – Golden Smog – Down By The Old Mainstream
05. “Cliquot” – Beirut – The Flying Club Cup
06. “Another Star” – Stevie Wonder – Songs In The Key Of Life
07. “City Middle” – The National – The Alligator
08. “Hot Rod” – Peaches – The Teaches Of Peaches
09. “Without You” – Thundercat - Apocalypse
10. “Auburn And Ivory” – Beach House – Beach House
I heard a Shout Out Louds song last night and was just thinking I should listen to them more.
1. “Tongue Tied” – Grouplove - Never Trust A Happy Song
2. “Good Hearted Woman” – Waylon Jennings - Good Hearted Woman
3. “Your Kisses Are Wasted On Me” – The Pipettes - We Are The Pipettes
4. “Home” – Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Up From Below
5. “California One Youth & Beauty Brigade” – The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts
6. “Beyond The Sea” – Bobby Darin
7. “Sweet Jane” – The Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session
8. “What A Good Boy” – Barenaked Ladies - Gordon
9. “The Saga Begins” – Weird Al Yankovic - Running With Scissors
10. “Let’s Get It On” – Marvin Gaye - Let’s Get It On
B: “Glory Days” – Bruce Springsteen - Born In The U.S.A.
6 & 7 – Holy crap are these two of my favorite songs ever. Back to back, this made me very happy.
Do I need to buy a ticket?
I've put it on the calendar, but I have no idea what things will look like in a few weeks.
Per allmusic, “one of the most resilient and criminally underappreciated bands to rise from the Midwestern underground community. The career of the noisy guitar unit is a textbook study in alt-rock endurance; despite a nightmarish major-label tenure, ill-timed roster changes, and commercial indifference, the group persevered, and emerged as elder statesmen of the Chicago independent scene.”
A favorite from their only major label record Beet.
