Don Caballero is amazing. I don't listen to anything post American Don though.

Really? I think strap it on and meantime are by far superior.
Trout Mask Replica ftw. I also think Safe as Milk is gold.

Such a good album and it got me listening to fugazi; win win.

I've always been interested by the old song The Girl From Ipanema, so I looked it up on Wikipedia and found out it's emblematic of a style called Bossa Nova. So now I'm listening to this jazzy Bossa Nova stuff, the album Getz/Gilberto (Gilberto is apparently Mr. Bossa Nova).

I like it better than I like garden variety jazz, but I think it might be putting me to sleep. I like anger in my music. Or any strong emotion, I guess. I feel like this Bossa Nova music is trying to hypnotize me, distract me in some way. I find that disturbing.

Prob wrong thread but what ever.

I'm really enjoying all things Steely Dan lately.

Oh damn, I've been wearing out The Royal Scam lately.

Somebody did a great Steely Dan thread here a couple of months ago that reignited my interest in them. That thread represents everything that is great about the Lounge.

I just listened to some of Two against Nature thinking I wouldn't like their newer material but really loved it. "Cousin Dupree" is a great song.

Cousin Dupree is great, but I wear out Royal Scam, Katy Lied, and Pretzel Logic, the old stuff. It never gets old to me.

They are such unique talents.

For sure, I love the older stuff that's why I didn't know what to expect with their newer stuff. Their best in my view is the older stuff as well.

I'm listening to an old group called Young Fresh Fellows, mostly because my heroes They Might Be Giants make a reference to them in a song.

Young Fresh Fellows rock! They're like smart Ramones!

Bah, I burned out on them quick. Not that good or interesting.

I'm now listening to REM's Murmur, the gold standard. One of the very few albums I can listen to forever and not get burnt out. REM damn. The best.

Where can I branch to from Steely Dan?

The Gaslight Anthem's American Slang album came out today. Very very good. I would highly recommend it as I would recommend all of their work.

I've been listening to different versions of Jacques Brel's classic "Ne me quitte pas."

I find it rather astonishing that a man would get this puckered up about a woman leaving him, unless of course, she took off on his Harley...along with his golf clubs...and maybe...his best 20 gauge shotgun...maybe then...I guess...a man might get this overwrought because 1 woman out of three billion left him.

I thought Marlene Dietrich's cover was the best until I heard Bajor's rendition.

After you watch these three, The Cirque du Soleil parody sums up my astonishment, but you can't watch it until after you experience the first three renditions in order comprehend my feelings.

Great song. Yeah, old Jacques got pretty worked up over her!

My favorite version is Nina Simone's.

Hip-Hop over piano and guitars gets me every-time.

black sabbath

Maybe jazz? Not that I know anything about jazz. There are good old Lounge threads about jazz, though.

Deftones- Adrenaline. I haven't listened to this in a long time for some reason, yep, still rocks.

hmm, I don't think it's close either, the other way.
