Sonic Youth - Unmade Bed
(Sep 15, 2005 - 12:40) | Gish05 wrote: Great song... but you know, Sonic Youth has been around from 1981; they have an amazing discography. Yet, It seems a couple tracks from 2004's Nurse and one other track from 1995's Washing Machine (which is, quite honestly, one of the band's weaker albums) are all that are played on Radio Paradise! I notice the following are rejected: Candle, Dirty Boots, Disappearer, JC, Teen Age Riot, The Diamond Sea, The Empty Page. These are great songs!
the empty page has since been added, thank you very much.
sonic youth is difficult to fit into playlists, though, you've gotta remember.

Sheryl Crow - Letter To God
(Sep 15, 2005 - 11:39) | i absolutely adore the fact that bill continually points out how unimpressed he is by sheryl crow. it makes me laugh every time.
keep it up, i'd love for her to be the running joke.

George Harrison - Isn't It A Pity

absolutely, undeniably a perfect 10.

Coldplay - White Shadows

it's funny you'd say that... that transition drives me nuts... it's like they didn't listen to the finished product, and that that bit needs a couple extra seconds of transition time, but they rush right into the next song... to me that was a sign that they're really new at this, and aren't going to be "taking over the u2 throne" anytime soon.

Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again
(Aug 03, 2005 - 16:26) | not sure if it's been mentioned, but has anyone here heard the smashing pumpkins' cover of this song?
it's really quite good - i recommend it enthusiastically.

The White Stripes - As Ugly As I Seem
(Aug 03, 2005 - 10:06) | th3boon wrote: this is basically one of the best albums you're likely to hear anywhere besides college radio this year.
you need to listen to the whole album to appreciate it, the cuts or so diverse and varied.
well and the hiss and pop is not, i don't believe, 'artistic', it's because they record on pre-computer equipment with an analog 8 track recorder I believe.
maybe meg needs to be moved along, but jack is one of the est musicians producing stuff on a regular basis. who knows what they will be, but what they are and have been is refreshing.
i was a little disappointed by this album on a whole, personally. though it is more interesting than several other albums, it just doesn't gel as a whole as well as it should. meg is particularily distracting on this lp, whereas it seemed to work on the punkier-edged older material. even their older blues-oriented music on de stijl worked with megdrums, but not a lot of this stuff.
i do believe this one to be better than elephant though, "seven nation army" or not.

U2 - City Of Blinding Lights

It's also no like most of their post Achtung Baby material. It's more or less, continuing the retro sounds of All That You can't Leave Behind.
If you want to hear a great u2 track, find Mercy and give it a listen. Easilly the best track they recorded for the new album. Fast Cars is a nice track too.
i haven't heard mercy yet... where is it from? i keep missing it on the lrc... was that yr upload?

Travis - Happy To Hang Around
(Jul 25, 2005 - 09:57) | this album really disappointed me initially. i was really looking forward to it, but it just came across as rather 'white bread' to me...
however, in the radio paradise context, it breathes some life into it somehow... thanks for that!

The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It
(Jul 15, 2005 - 11:14) | i don't want to for the principle of it, but i like 'em...
though that "IT'S INDIE ROCK AND ROLL TO ME!" song from this record is pretty nauseating.
i was a little disappointed by anton corbjin's video for these guys, too. too bad...

Talking Heads - Once In A Lifetime

there's a good commentary in the july issue of Mojo on U2 talking about eno and lanois, and how they work in the studio...
i love the creative process sooooo much.

Travis - Somewhere Else
(Jul 12, 2005 - 09:35) | to be perfectly honest, these guys were a little drab live somehow. perhaps it was the vibe coming from seeing them with dido. the lead guitarist was fantastic, though, i really enjoyed his energy.
but i met them, and they are the nicest band i've ever met. really down to earth, and easy to talk to. i can't help but want to support them based on how much i liked them as people.

Who sampled Isaac Hayes first, Tricky or Portishead?
Both 'Glory Box' and 'Hell is Round the Corner' sampled from 'Ike's Rap II' without knowledge of the other. Tricky's album Maxinquaye came first, but Glory Box was written first.

The White Stripes - As Ugly As I Seem

I have to say, it reduces the cheese factor to rid of the nice, organized, clean guitar solo (not played by George Harrison) and the female chorus ala Phil Spector.
Why on Earth would anyone replace the Harrison solo??? Though I prefer where Spector had the Billy Preston organ bit coming in on this version.
