Today is Marvin Gaye's birthday. Had it not been for poor parenting, he would have been 74 on this date.
Laura -As a 55 year old - I hear you.But as someone who grew up listening to 'GOR', (guitar oriented rock), like Dire Straits and early Steely Dan featuring the guitar work of 'Skunk' Baxter, I feel like I should have some of this, as it's very guitar oriented. I'll have to look for the Implode album next time I hook up with Bill.
Roscoe, tell me more. I have never heard of either band.Thanks
They are a local Chicago band on the Kranky label. I was blown away by them when they opened for Disappears last year. Their second LP was released on Tuesday. Much better sound quality than the first. Pretty heavy on the distorted and fuzzed out guitars in parts. My Bloody Valentine with a dash of Pink Floyd sound tossed in. A track is streaming here:http://www.spin.com/articles/implodes-scattered-in-the-wind-recurring-dream-download
If anyone has an MOG account you can listen to their album Black Earth.
What is MOG?
Thanks Gene,all of this subgenre stuff is way too weird for me. Life was simpler when all you had to know was rock, psychedelic, blues, pop, country, folk, metal, punk, jazz and classical. If someone said a band was country-rock, you had a pretty good idea of the sound. A lot of these so called new genres or sub-genres would be best described by Billy Joel, "It's Still Rock n Roll to Me."Best,Laura
What, no prog?Paul
I'm sure we all know this one
