When my printer died a few swaps back I went for good old fashioned pen and paper orginal art work doodling, which actually went down a treat, so I wouldnt worry about the covers.

I actually agree, although I liked it in a 60's surfs up kind of way, it was very bland, and especially after hearing the cover on choads, which kicked ass. If Id had more time I may have been tempted to do a self styled cover of it using a comb and a piece of paper. next time gadget, next time!

I'll post some thoughts about yours soon umfum, just had a lot on at the mo.

I hereby promise to review both Gov's and Umfum's discs by Sunday night. I had planned on doing it loooong ago, but, you know. Then I brought the discs in from my car and went out of town for a week.

TheGovernor's ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE INSANE ROBOTIC ELEPHANT OVERLORDS:

The title alone makes me want to listen to Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots. Anyway...

01. ARCADE FIRE - "I really like this song," too. Now.

02. DUNGEN - Where the hell did you find this? Very cool piano, and I love how it sort of merges into...

03. WILLIAM D. DRAKE - ...where it didn't take long at all for the beauty to sink in.

04. FIERY FURNACES - I like every song of theirs I've heard so far on these collective swaps. Quite a group, er, duo...whatever. Excellent.

05. ROBERT PLANT - I believe even a deaf man could tell a Robert Plant song from any other song.

06. KATE BUSH - I want to call this one hauntingly beautiful, but that's such a cliche. How about numerically winsome?

07. BLACK KEYS - I've heard some buzz on this band since I received your disc, and the local college station plays them fairly often. This one sounds like Bad Company...without the suckage.

08. LEONARD COHEN - I see why a certain segment of the population adores this guy. This song seems like the type you have to be in a certain mood to enjoy, yet I liked it right off. The lyrics are very poignant without being melodramatic.

09. GUIDO SOL - Starts out a bit goofy, but becomes better when the music kicks in. Believe I like the song from your previous disc better.

10. STRANGLERS - Classic.

11. WHO - Classicer.

12. BRIGHT EYES - Have heard some about this group as well, but they sounded a bit too derivative of...somebody. Maybe I'm just in the wrong mood for it.

13. KING CREOSOTE - Struck me as similar to the group above yet there's a quality that sets this song apart from that one. Nice.

14. Blind LEMON JELLY Fish - Simple yet effective.

15. CARDIACS - Arresting.

16. YES - Yes, I've been tempted in the make-a-disc-of-all-long-songs department, as well. Bear in mind that the tracks should really, really have something to offer over their eintire course. Like this one.

17. GORKY - Relaxing round-off to an excellent collection of tunes.

[hr]

It's interesting how you come to expect certain sounds and groups after you've swapped with someone numerous times. So, there are surprises and non-surprises, but the beauty of the CD swap lies in really listening to how a disc is arranged. Sometimes as the listener you make connections between songs that the compiler didn't necessarily intend. Other times, you totally miss things. Overall, though, it's the transmission of sounds and even the ideas of certain sounds that fascinates about this process.

So, it comes as a non-surprise that TheGov has delighted me yet again. Same goes for choady. And surely mmyers will prove up to the task. Thanks, gents!

One is my regular swap, entitled "Mmyers' bump ass Cd swap" and the other is a bonus CD filled with my aborted attempt at making a collection of songs about Summer, then it became songs about seasons, then when it became too diffuclt to find Fall and Winter songs (besides that damn Tori Amos song), I aborted it. But everyone needs to jam to Mungo Jerry at least once in awhile.

I try to avoid the Mungo, Jerry.

Seriously, though, I have a cassette around here somewhere. Side A is Summer. Side B is Winter. And, yes, it takes me nine months to listen to the whole thing -- ha-yuck, ha-yuck, ha-yuck!

Two "winter" songs I know are on there: Jimmy Page's "Writes of Winter" and Metallica's "Trapped Under Ice." A lot of the songs have a winter feel (to me) more than being strictly "about" winter. And, no, I didn't include Edgar Winter...or Jonathan Winters...or even Shelley Winters. Damn it.

[hr]

I know I'm looking forward to receiving a "Bump Ass" CD. I can only imagine the level of choad's excitement. ;)

Um, ghetto in the way that it's not evry well put together.
Here's my comments.

1. The Supervillains “Intro”- If you didn’t know, I’m a nerd, so I love the Supervillains. Not a lot to their schtick, but it’s fun and nostalgic.
2. The Blackheart Procession “It’s a crime I never told you about the diamonds in your eyes”- Great band if you want moody music. This is an more up-tempo number from this group, part of their concept album “Amore del Tropico”. Concept albums are a lost art.
3. The Decemberists “A Cautionary Tale”- One of the best songs about your mom having sex with strangers.
4. Acid Radio- Kids in the Hall alum Bruce McCullough is very amusing to me. “Somethin’ happened to me…”
5. Grandaddy “Hewllet’s Daughter”- I like the wistful tone and the echoey loneliness of this song. It tells a very specific story that I’m not sure I understand.
6. They might be Giants “We’ve got a world that swings”- A sweet cover that I used to sing to my wife when she woke up.
7. The Lemonheads “Paint”- Probably one of my favorite Lemonheads songs for awhile there. It hasn’t aged as well as I thought it might have but it’s still a great image and a testament to how good Dando was before he cracked his brain out.
8. The Supervillains “Eternia’s greatest”- I know little to nothing about these guys except that my friend Scott hipped me to them. I figured, since I used their swank intro, I’d include a song as well.
9. The Breeders “Lord of the thighs”- It ain’t Aerosmith but it’ll do in a pinch. Love the drums to this.
10. Teenage Fanclub “Like a virgin”- Can you tell that I was going through my singles and EPs? I thought this was also a good attempt on my part to find common ground to the Gov’s mix (Teenage Fanclub- Like a virgin-Reservoir Dogs-Tarrantino: 4 degrees of separation).
11. Ryan Adams “Backstreet Boys cover (live)”- Not much of a version of the song, but it brings up several great points. It’s a conversation piece.
12. Pulp “Help the aged”- My favorite song about having sex with old people.
13. Jellyfish “My best friend”- My favorite song about pulling your pud. I think I may have put this on a previous mix for umfum, so if so, sorry.
14. Pavement “Harness your hopes”- My veritable clearing house continues with this Pavement CD single gem. This was near the end of Pavement. Man, I miss that band.
15. Frank Black-Teenage Fanclub “Handyman”- The late John Peel put together this little session and some great music came from it. This is a Del Shannon cover that they put some stank on.
16. More Acid Radio (Baby Jesus)- This spawned my nickname (mabbybaby) over 10 years ago as my drunk friend tried to act out the skit using my name and messed it up. Back home, I’m still known as the Mabbybaby. Drunk people.
17. The Black Keys “Act nice and gentle to me”- A Kink’s cover. I’m still trying to bridge gaps between all of our mixes.
18. Tribe Called Quest “Luck of Lucien”- I’ve been really into old Tribe Called Quest lately. This song is exactly what I loved about hip-hop back in the day.
19. Homestar Runner “Secret Song”- Hey, they’re local. I have to support them.

appols for my lack of commentary, erm I'll try and come up with a good excuse, essentially I was offered a one way ticket to mongolia (outer) to help search for the sacred (well to the peoples of the tribe of umbubu) necklace of mzapan, stolen in the early years of mr Khan's (not The 'wrath of' but the other one) reign. For a tidy prize I was to retrieve said item and return it to the mazaputi conglomorate in Hong Kong, where it would be returned to Oren Ketsikamu, the rightful heir to the ancient kingdom of mzapan.
Well it turned out my accountant had no way of calculating the VAT on such a possession, and as such I had no way to properly bill them for my time and services so essentially the Inland Revenue have been on my backs ever since, Thats not to mention the Innuit Pirates who want their Lesbian princess back (who happens to be a bisexual nymphomaniac, just don't tell them that) and whom they've been keeping for a marriage with a prince Zicawiif of the zumbooboo tribe of North Alaska in order to make their claim on the zumbooboo lands complete (thus giving them access to oil fields they can sell to shell), however she was not taken by the proposal and wished to be clear of the entire business, hence I found her a small token job in Majorca (spain) selling Postcards and bric-a-brac to tourists, so sadly I've yet to have time to properly review both Ivy's masterpieces, nor the works provided by Umfum the great (although all of which have been listened to with great admiration on my pod of many I's). I do promise that on my next adventure I will insist on having a chance to fully comment on the CDs, but at the moment I am currently hurrying off a forum post before embarking on a quest to find the lost Amazonian tribe of T'Zupamen, who apparantly know the secret to chocolate milkshakes, but whom are apparantly stuck in a protracted war with youtube/google over the rights to show celebrity brazilian mud wrestling on the internet, although to be honest I think its a open and shut case.

Fine. I'll call off Inland Revenue and pay off the Inuit Pirates once you hand over said reviews. Luckily, the IP are quite snowblind and should fall for the ol' pig-dressed-as-a-princess ruse. With the given that our pig don't squeal...

[quote]Um, ghetto in the way that it's not evry well put together. Of course, you speak merely of aesthetics, but I quite enjoy the cover shot.
Here's my comments. And here are my comments...

1. The Supervillains “Intro”- If you didn’t know, I’m a nerd, so I love the Supervillains. Not a lot to their schtick, but it’s fun and nostalgic. Nostaligic, yeah, I'll come back to that
2. The Blackheart Procession “It’s a crime I never told you about the diamonds in your eyes”- Great band if you want moody music. This is an more up-tempo number from this group, part of their concept album “Amore del Tropico”. Concept albums are a lost art. Great title, good song.
3. The Decemberists “A Cautionary Tale”- One of the best songs about your mom having sex with strangers. And possibly the only one! Oh, you didn't mean my mom. You'd better not, you son of a bitch!!
4. Acid Radio- Kids in the Hall alum Bruce McCullough is very amusing to me. “Somethin’ happened to me…” I miss KITH...especially Bruce's crazy skits. Thank you.
5. Grandaddy “Hewllet’s Daughter”- I like the wistful tone and the echoey loneliness of this song. It tells a very specific story that I’m not sure I understand. The vocals seemed a bit low in the mix, so I didn't get them all myself. Obviously, this calls for further review (with headphones).
6. They might be Giants “We’ve got a world that swings”- A sweet cover that I used to sing to my wife when she woke up. It IS very sweet. I imagine it would be quite nice waking up to that song.
7. The Lemonheads “Paint”- Probably one of my favorite Lemonheads songs for awhile there. It hasn’t aged as well as I thought it might have but it’s still a great image and a testament to how good Dando was before he cracked his brain out. I don't know about the "aged" part. I mean, you can tell it's an older song, but that's what I like about it. --says the older guy.
8. The Supervillains “Eternia’s greatest”- I know little to nothing about these guys except that my friend Scott hipped me to them. I figured, since I used their swank intro, I’d include a song as well. This one reminded me of Thomas Dolby for some reason. <--Nostalgia.
9. The Breeders “Lord of the thighs”- It ain’t Aerosmith but it’ll do in a pinch. Love the drums to this. Yeah, nice job. The original starts out like it's going to be some sort of epic, sci-fi journey, but it only goes as far as the thighs.
10. Teenage Fanclub “Like a virgin”- Can you tell that I was going through my singles and EPs? I thought this was also a good attempt on my part to find common ground to the Gov’s mix (Teenage Fanclub- Like a virgin-Reservoir Dogs-Tarrantino: 4 degrees of separation). How many "fucks" is that?
11. Ryan Adams “Backstreet Boys cover (live)”- Not much of a version of the song, but it brings up several great points. It’s a conversation piece. True. That's one nice guy in the back there yelling, "You suck!" Reminds me of Thelonious Monk's Live at The IT Club re-issue where you can clearly hear a telephone ringing in the background.
12. Pulp “Help the aged”- My favorite song about having sex with old people. Leave my Moms out of this!
13. Jellyfish “My best friend”- My favorite song about pulling your pud. I think I may have put this on a previous mix for umfum, so if so, sorry. S'okay. Sounds a bit different than the one I'm thinking of on your cassette swap. Maybe not.
14. Pavement “Harness your hopes”- My veritable clearing house continues with this Pavement CD single gem. This was near the end of Pavement. Man, I miss that band. Never really got into Pavement, but I need to give this one a closer listen.
15. Frank Black-Teenage Fanclub “Handyman”- The late John Peel put together this little session and some great music came from it. This is a Del Shannon cover that they put some stank on. I'm so lame. I never had all these "single and B-side" things I'll blame it on the backwards town in which I spent the majority of my formative years. Grrr.
16. More Acid Radio (Baby Jesus)- This spawned my nickname (mabbybaby) over 10 years ago as my drunk friend tried to act out the skit using my name and messed it up. Back home, I’m still known as the Mabbybaby. Drunk people. We've got a world that drinks.... I saw Talladega Nights not too long ago, and Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) has a great bit in there about how he prefers baby Jesus over the other, later Jesuses.
17. The Black Keys “Act nice and gentle to me”- A Kink’s cover. I’m still trying to bridge gaps between all of our mixes. Sometimes sounding retro is a good thing as long as you're doing your own thing.
18. Tribe Called Quest “Luck of Lucien”- I’ve been really into old Tribe Called Quest lately. This song is exactly what I loved about hip-hop back in the day. I'm right there with ya, mabbybaby. You don't know how close I've come to putting this exact song on a couple of swaps. Hearing it on here only confirms how groovy I thought it was.
19. Homestar Runner “Secret Song”- Hey, they’re local. I have to support them. Good for you. And funny, too![/quote]

Excellent mix of musics and mayhem here. Wouldn't expect anything less. It's funny how all these songs are different, yet many of them sound similar. Guess that's what I liked so much about "alternative" music back in the day.

Cool, thanks umfum.

Instead of going really thematic with this mix, I figured I'd treat it like a cartrip and play songs I thought were interesting. My wife and I did a thing one trip where we played one song from each of the CDs we had in the car. A kind of 'best of'.

I swear I'll get off my ass soon and write some stuff about you guy's mixes.

Okay, I've been a flake on my reviews of Gov's and Umfum's swap CDs (which Umfum reminded me of last night). Here's Umfum:

You Above Everything

  1. Ain't We Crazy-Son's of the Pioneers: Nice little old timey start.
  2. Jelly Man Kelly-James Taylor: This hasn't changed my opinion of James Taylor. The only good thing I can say about this is it's less than 2 minutes long.
  3. She Don't Use Jelly-Flaming Lips: I always liked this song. Still do.
  4. Fuses-Stereolab: J'adore Stereolab. I've seen them in some pretty challenging venues, but they still pull off the richness of their studio sound live. See further comment below.
  5. Black Satin-Miles Davis: While I love Miles, and his portrait hangs in my office, his fusion period isn't my favorite. I much prefer his 1950's recordings. This song is a good compliment to Track 4 above though, as I was thinking when I heard that, "This is what it would sound like if John Coltrane had a vocalist during his avante-garde period."
  6. The Only One I Know-Charlatans UK: I like the beat and the keyboards on this one...the muddy vocals kinda spoil it a bit, but not enough to dislike the track.
  7. Big Country-Big Country: From the album "Big Country." They win the Donald Trump Award for Self Promotion. I've always liked this song, even when it's used in car commercials.
  8. Kiss My Irish Ass-Big Green Sea: This is actually the kind of music I imagine that Umfum listens to on Sunday mornings as he reads the newspaper. I don't know why, but it is.
  9. Dolly Parton's Tits-Tom T. Hall: Sounds like something you'd hear in a piano bar. I saw Dolly on TV the other night and thought, "I'll bet people would actually be more repulsed than aroused if she showed them." I'm not just talking about now that she's in her 60's (?), but in any era. I'll bet they're all veiny.
  10. Hips and Abdomen-Cathi Stout: OKAY! This was the song that had me laughing so hard, I had to skip to the next track on my commute to keep from crashing. It's a work-out track set to Christian music. As the musicians are singing about Jesus walking on water, she's commanding, "IN OUT IN OUT IN OUT and UP now KICK. Bring both knees to your chesst! IN OUT UP DOWN UP DOWN! Push your abdomen down and tuck in your chin! Work it! Don't Stop! Hang in there, we're almost there." I told one my my trainers about this song and she said it sounded so wrong that I was never allowed to play it for her.
  11. Birdhouse in Your Soul-They Might Be Giants: I'm not sure what could follow that last track, but I'll listen to TMBG any time.
  12. Cabaret Hoover-Ben Charest: This sounds like it could be the opening credits to a 60's sci fi movie about a vaguely latino mad scientist.
  13. Eh Cumpari-Julius LaRosa: This has to be an Italian drinking song. It's too happy not to be.
  14. Sentimental-Joan Sebastian: Is this a typo? Should it be "Juan?" Either way, I like it. I've always liked mariachi/ranchero music.
  15. Hypocrite-Antibalas: My favorite "serious" track on this disc. Great horns and guitar.
  16. East of the River Nile-Augustus Pablo: A nice intrumental.
  17. Pueblo Nuevo-Buena Vista Social Club: I had a few BVSC tracks in my short list for my swap CD. I played around with the tracklist quite a bit to try and figure out where to put them. In the end, they didn't match what I was going for on that one, but I still really like this band. This one has a lot more piano and less horns than most of their songs that I know...and where are the vocals? Still good, though.
  18. Echos of Time-R. Carlos Nakal: Suddenly, we're in a Kill Bill movie.
  19. Gymnopedie No. 2-Erik Satie: Sorry, too slow for me.
  20. Energy Fools the Magician-Brian Eno: Okay, now the CD has ground to a halt.
  21. The Energy Blues-Biz Markie: I'll have to unpack my adjectives to write about this one. Biz Markie is brilliant. He's like the black Leon Redbone. His cover of Benny and the Jets is one of two covers of that song that forever ruined Elton's original for me. Once again, this song sounds like it was written for him. Al Gore should take Biz on tour and have him open for him with this song. You gotta love those Schoolhouse Rock jingles--catchy and educational. Some of my other favorite covers of Schoolhouse Rock songs include Lemonheads (of course) covering My Hero, Zero, and Blind Melon doing Three is a Magic Number.
  22. Big Fran's Baby-Lennie Niehaus: And then we come back around with that old timey music again.

Umfum's Pendulum

  1. Diggin a Watery Grave-Morcheeba: "A drifter comes into a small Texas town" music.
  2. Damn Shame-Jay Farrar: I'm indifferent to this one.
  3. Right to Bear Guitars-Harvey Birdman: I'LL TAKE THE CASE!
  4. Freedom-Jimi Hendrix: Great song.
  5. My Love-Lenny Kravitz: Will Lenny ever escape the shadow of comparison with Jimi?
  6. It Beats for You-My Morning Jacket: It beats for you whenever I have my morning jack it. Er, I mean I like this song.
  7. Boylife in America-Cody Chetnutt: This reminds me of Ween, which is a good thing.
  8. Rock and Roll McDonald's-Wesley Willis: I'm not lovin' it. This song demonstrates why Biz Markie is so good even when he's singing badly. Biz puts his soul into his singing, whereas this guy is just making a fool of himself.
  9. Rock Music Lyrics-Dr. James Dobson and Susan Baker: Ugh, how can you make me listen to these hate mongers? Anyway, From what I heard, Karenna Gore turned out okay, even though she listened to a Prince song which sent Tipper out on her censorship spree. I'm sure there were a few people out there in 2000 who voted Bush just because they hated Tipper Gore. F-word it all. F-word, no regrets.
  10. Fur-Sesame Street: It's impossible to hate a Sesame Street song (even if you disagree with the message that being covered in fur is beautiful...for those of you who disagree, I have two words to say to you: Robin Williams).
  11. Judy in the Sky-John Fred and the Playboys: A decent 50's song. I wonder if Dr. Dobson ever danced to this.
  12. Hang on Sloopy-The McCoys: This is one of those unfortunate songs that we had to sing as nauseum in my 7th grade music class, so it's in the same category as Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald of songs I can't listen to.
  13. Jig-Saw Puzzle-The Rolling Stones: I've never been much of a Stones fan. Even in my classic rock days, I never owned anything they recorded.
  14. Fairy or Pixie-Paul Lynde: Paul was both. :)
  15. The Flyer-Nanci Griffith: I like it, even though it reminds me of Indigo Girls.
  16. Come On! Feel the Illinoise!-Sufjan Stevens: I really like this song--the music is just so bouncy in a Me & Julio Down By The Schoolyard kinda way.
  17. Anthem for the Ernest-Bad Plus: This is what Joe Jackson would have sounded like if he hadn't been so somber.
  18. The Charlie Brown Theme-Vince Guraldi Trio: When I decided I needed to get into jazz, I bought this album since I knew of the cartoon score. I wonder how many other people got into jazz because of Charlie Brown cartoons.
  19. Rape Me-Richard Cheese: Some friends of mine kicked around the idea of doing this kind of schtick with me singing back in the 90's, but after Cheese started getting more airplay, we decided we'd sound like we were ripping off his gag.
  20. Popcorn-Hot Butter: Wow! I remember this song from the 70's. It always made me bounce up and down spastically. My sister had this on a K-Tel record along with Hocus Pocus that I would play over and over.
  21. Downtown-Peaches: I wonder if you went Downtown with Peaches if you'd encounter the fuzz.
  22. Crazy-Gnarls Barkley: Since I don't listen to music on the radio anymore, I think I discovered this song after everyone else was sick of it.
  23. Pound Your Meat-Emeril Lagasse: You would too if you looked like Emeril.
  24. Solace For the Lonely-Robin Ella: Ditto what I said about track 2.
Okay...TheGovernor: I'll get to you soon.

Yes! It' simple, soft-core, and fun. That's about it.

Maybe you guys would have enjoyed a James Brown version instead. Speaking of, did James Brown really die? My wife told me he had passed, but I've heard nor read anyhing of it. Maybe Gerald Ford's death ("torn apart by wolves today at the age of...") kicked James off the headlines. Figures.
