Classic Records Section

Hey music people,
I added a Classic Records or Essential Albums to the new records section, underneath the new albums section. I'll be putting five or more records every Wed. Please burn the ones you like. Feel free to suggest to me some others, either by email: music@wmua.org, or on the comments section. This week I put in:

Wolf Parade's Apologies to the Queen Mary
Sleater Kinney's The Woods
Pavement's Slanted and Enchanted and Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Neutral Milk Hotel's On Avery Island and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
Modest Mouse's The Moon and Antarctica

Weekly Update 2

Hey everyone,

Here’s my weekly email. Thanks for the feedback last week, I put the rock charts at the end, as I will have every week from now on. Again, if anyone has any suggestions for me to add on to next week’s email, let me know. Thanks again, and keep on playing new music!

Records to Check Out:

I’m Not There Original Soundtrack:

Indie rock heavyweights cover Bob Dylan for the film “I’m Not There.” The film portrays Dylan in different segments of his life, as he changes his personalities. Different actors play Dylan throughout the movie.

Here’s the trailer: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=689521858674731391&q=i%27m+not+there&total=21931&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=1

And here’s a clip from the movie, where Kate Blanchett plays Dylan, and David Cross (Arrested Development) plays Allen Ginsberg: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6279602058866628140&q=i%27m+not+there&total=21931&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

I would rather watch No Direction Home or Don’t Look Back, but that’s just me. It’ll be something worth checking out.

Shooting Spires “S/T”:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=87249010

A Place to Bury Strangers “S/T”:

http://www.myspace.com/aplacetoburystrangers

They played yesterday at Hampshire College and I missed it, which sucks, it was free. They’re a lot like My Bloody Valentine, which is certainly a good thing.

Moros Eros “Jealous Me Was Killed By Curiosity”:

http://www.myspace.com/moroseros

For those of you who like the good old indie pop that makes you feel happy.

Atlantics “Live”:

http://www.myspace.com/leloupmusic

One of the best new bands I saw at CMJ in NYC this past month. One of the highlights of the week.

Ham 1 “The Captain’s Table”:

http://www.myspace.com/ham1

A mixture of indie rock history, think if David Berman (Silver Jews) or Stephen Malkmus (Pavement) fronted the Olivia Tremor Control, and Ham 1 is what you get. Members from Olivia Tremor Control are actually part of the band.

Prefuse 73 “Preparations”:

http://www.myspace.com/prefusion1973

"The Landlord" Featuring Will Ferrell

Don't ever mess with your landlord.

Zach Galifianakis on "Ellen"

Apparently he didn't realize he was being watched in the dressing room by Ellen herself. Rumor had it that he got kicked out of the show because he wasn't dancing, but really Ellen just thought he was creepy. Ironic, eh?

Dan Deacon Video "Crystal Cat"

Dan Deacon has already given us the weirdest and most fun album of the year. Here's the weirdest and most fun video so far.



Check Dan Deacon out at the Middle East in Cambridge, Boston on Thursday, 7/12/07 with Videohippos.
