bad covers, Elijah Blue Allman and new 31G clique releases
I was just flipping through channels when I saw some girl completely butcher "Psycho Killer" by The Talking Heads on some terrible who wants to be a rockstar type show.
Speaking of things that made me want to reach through the screen and hit musicans, I saw Josh Joplin on MPT cover "Big Mouth Strikes Again" by The Smiths. Wow, seriously this could not have been worse. I had total trainwreck syndrome while watching this, knowing it's horrendously terrible but not being able to phyiscally turn it off.
Let's keep going with the bad covers. While in the store Hollister (don't ask...) I heard a cover of "Enjoy The Silence" by Depeche Mode. First off this song shouldn't be covered, it just shouldn't. it didn't help that the cover was of the bland pop-rock variety. Boo to that!
Okay, how about good covers! So the new Deadsy album came out last week. I had really high hopes for this album as I loved the first one. The first one had two great covers on it. "Brand New World" (originally done by Sebadoh) which one of those covers (along with The Blood Brothers verison of "Under Pressure") that is actually better than the original. They also do an impressive cover of "Tom Sawyer" (originally performed by Rush) The new albums boasts a cover of The Stones classic "Paint It Black." Honestly I didn't think they'd be able to pull it off, but they do very very well. They also are bold enough to sample Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song." While the new album ("Phantasmagore") is more upbeat than the previous one, it's still quite good. "Razor Love," the opening song, is one of those jams that just make you want to go out and do stuff. You know like "Move Along" by The All-American Rejects. As always the worst thing about Deadsy is the fact that they run about with the whole Korn/Family Values Tour clique. Speaking of which, yes I'm paying ten bucks to go to The Family Values Tour this year and yes I will be leaving right after the Deadsy performance. Oh and as you listen to them remember that their singer is the son of Cher and Gregg Allman. Whoa. All in all you have to love a band that sounds like a modern verison of Gary Numan.
Cool stuff happening in the future:
The Locust are in the studio recording their new full legnth "New Erections" that is supposed to be out early in 2007, possibly Feburary.
New stuff from both Holy Molar and Das Oath supposed to be out November 14th.
The new album from The Game is slated to be out this November as well. I know he only raps about shoes and how good he and the west coast are but damn if he's not crazy good at it! I loved "The Documentary" and honestly can't wait for this album to drop.
It seems I was right about Rick Ross which shouldn't be surprising anyone could have predicted it. His album "Port Of Miami" debuted at number one.
On Lupe Fiasco's upcoming album (drops in November if I'm not mistaken) Mike Shinoda produces a track. DAMN YOU SHINODA!!!
