OT: The Semi-Annual, Taste Optional Music Thread: Post Your Mid-Winter Blues Music

[Deport Ogie]

Most drummers would credit Low Rider or Don’t Fear the Reaper as their inspiration for purchasing a cowbell for their drum set - mine was “Little Sister” by them.

When I (by which I mean my parents) got my first kit as a teen they threw in a mounted cowbell just so they didn't have to detach it. In my case it was playing along with Mississippi Queen.

It's defnitely a typical classic rock radio overplay but I don't care...that riff is still aces.

That one and Honky Tonk Women by the Stones are also classic choices.

I always like the cowbell strikes in Black Sabbath's "The Wizard."

Also partial to the groove in this guy:



Tull had two entries on the "awesome drummers no one talks about" list with both Clive Bunker and Barriemore Barlow being pretty beastly.

My favorite GnR song also has some nice usage.

Been getting into this band recently. New song from them:



edit to add their ARTE Concert as well:

 

[Deport Ogie]

One of my favorite 2023 debuts, probably a top 10 album of the year for me. I love Blackwater Park era Opeth and I love Red era King Crimson but I would not suspect stuffing the two of them together would work so well.

 

[Gurglesons]

God, this band rocks.

[Blowfish]

Punk Reggae! Police so friggin good!

It pains me to report that Jerry's Records has like 30 Foghat and Black Oak Arkansas LPs for sale and not a single good James Brown album.

They probably have one but it’s hidden in a box under a table that you’d never find it in.

 

[HandshakeLine]

It is the most yinzer record store ever, lol.

They have a whole section dedicated to butt rock in the year 2024.

 

[HandshakeLine]

To be fair to Jerry's for a second though, I picked up some rad records that they didn't overcharge for, including an original pressing of the Cynics' Twelve Flights Up which is in great condition.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Also got an original monomix pressing of Ray Charles' Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music which is one of my faves for like $8.

 

[Gurglesons]

Last time I was there I got a UGK single lol.

Our wingers seem okay to me but perhaps not good enough to offset any significant decline of our centers.

Bunting is a 20 goal guy, Rust 25-30. Rakell just needs to have a partial bounceback season and he’ll be good for 20. DOC in the top 6 for every game, I think, should come close to 20. And if not Beauvillir had 18 a year ago.

Some combination of whatever’s left should be able to gel into a competent 3rd line that can also pot 40, at ES, as a group.

One thing we seem to have a lot of is net-front guys now which, you’d think, would have a trickle-down effect on scoring even to the D.

What album is that on? Is there a youtube?

Still slaps, even if it's the clean version.

Oh for sure, but I'm not sure Bunting's going to break the second album curse, or even drop a noteworthy non-album single.

I found a copy of Gary Panter's (Residents backed) 7" record there in the mid 90's for $3. It was in a fold out poster.

I also found this on that visit:

 

[Gurglesons]

@Factorial getting the usual party hits at Jerry's.

 

[Jacob]

No clue how that got here.
