What are you listening to?

[Savonarola]

Hey Sav, where are you finding all this Beatles stuff to listen to.

I realized that although I've heard lots of Beatles stuff (and it is very very good stuff) I've never sat down and listened to their albums, which seems like it might be a worthwhile endeavour.  But the complete Beatles collection is $149 on iTunes - a little rich for my blood.

I own all the album and was just going through my collection.  You can find some of them on Vimeo or Dailymotion.

It's "Play Danish Day" today and that's easily the most interesting day to listen to the radio.

Yung - Nobody Cares

It sort of reminds me of Sonic Youth.  I'm not sure I care for the tempo changes.

Psyched Up Janis - I Died In My Teens

I don't care for the lead singer.  It sounds like he wants to be Kurt Cobain, the wa-a-ay he dra-a-ags everythi-i-i-ng out.  He isn't very good at it.

De Underjordiske - Hvis Du Forstod

I like this one, it reminds me of U2.

Pluto - Guldlok

Back to new wave, I like this one as well.   

And so much more!

Thanks for posting these   

Glad you liked it!

Yung is part of the very hyped Danish punk wave of which Ice Age is best known. They can do nothing wrong.

Psyched Up Janis was the Danish answer to Grunge in the 90's, I guess you had to be there and I was a bit too young.

De Underjordiske is more psych rock in the rest of their stuff, various success but this number is great.

Pluto - Guldlok is a classic for me, released just around the time I was starting at Uni.

The most interesting new Danish music is probably The Entrepreneurs with the song 'Brutal Summer' though, great energy in that one. Horrible band name, but hey, I guess that's never easy.

I'll give it another chance tomorrow when I listen to "Let it Be Naked" (); but what am I missing?  To me it sounds like easy listening music.

"It's got a good beat and you can dance to it." 

I dunno.  The note progressions, especially in the verses, sound nice to me, and they work with the lyrics.  Plus it's singable.  And I like the contrast between the understatement of the verses and the overstatement of the chorus.  Reminds me a little of Bridge Over Troubled Water in that way.

Dire Strait's - 'So Far Away' the first track on 'Brothers in Arms', I really like the laid back.

edit:
Though 'Why Worry' is a better track for all the wrong reasons.

Haven't listened to BiA in a while. Need to drag it out.

The Beatles - Let It Be... Naked ()

Some of the songs work out a little better without Phil Spector's production; I liked "For Your Blues" and "One After 909" more than I did on the regular version.  On the other hand the Paul's more polished vocals on "Let it Be" work better on "I've Got A Feeling."  The biggest changes are on "Let It Be," "Across the Universe" and "The Long and Winding Road," I don't think the versions are better, just different.

"Dig it" and "Maggie May," were removed from this at no great loss.  Unfortunately "Don't Let Me Down" was added.  It's an interesting experiment, but I don't think it's an improvement over the original "Let It Be."

[Savonarola]

I don't know if it was a single, but I find "Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da" rather annoying. And it's stuck in my head now. 

Sorry

I think there's only four Beatles songs that I don't like ("Mr. Moonlight," "Ballad of John and Yoko," "Don't Let Me Down" and "The Long and Winding Road.")

I'm adding "I, Me, Mine" to that list of Beatles' songs that I don't like.

The Satintones Tomorrow and Always

A really blatant rip-off of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? by the Shirelles, how Motown possibly thought they were going to get away with this is a mystery.  They didn't, they were sued, the single was pulled and the songwriters are listed as Goffin and King.  It's supposed to be an "Answer record" where the Satintones are telling the Shirrelles that they'll love them forever and always; except not only is it the same song, they even kept some of the same lyrics.

The B side A Love that Can Never Be is forgettable, but at least it's original.

They didn't rip off someone obscure enough ... doing that worked for Led Zep.

Actually maybe Motown thought the Satintones thought they were obscure enough to get away with it.  Motown only had two crossover hits at this point ("Money" and "Shop Around.")  (Motown did have some more singles which made it on the R&B charts.)  I don't think the Satintones ever made it on any chart.
