Batting 2nd OTFPOTD - 12/18/08

Clement_tiny by Sec 108 on Comment 1338 comments

So I left work early in Magnolia because my wife was talking about how much snow we had at home.  There was snow in Seattle, but not enough to scare me. 

Well, I got home to Burien and holy crap!  There is half a foot of snow stacked up against my front door.

On another note.  If you think Hip-Hop is easy I give you this.  I suggest watching until the end for the true humor of it all.

Well, have at it.  We all seem to have a lot to say about nothing today since there is no baseball news.

So I just finished There Will Be Blood.

Bhahahahah, what a great movie. I am glad this was recommended and I am glad I have it for keeps. I still need to see No Country For Old Men, though.

What other good movies does anyone recommend? I also watched The Bank Job last night and it was a meh.

Foyle's War is great drama. British television series so it might not be for everybody.

Ran about 6 episodes.
NCFOM might mess with your head.

You might check out

Sympathy For Lady Vengeance and Oldboy. Also wondering if you saw The Departed yet, its about as good as No Country For Old Men.

The thing to keep in mind

is that most music that stands the test of time was not necessarily absurdly popular in its own day. Most of the bands dominating the Top 40 right now will be forgotten in two years. There’s some great music on the periphery of the mainstream now as always.

Although I do agree that this is a relatively terrible period in popular music, but these things are cyclical. It took Nirvana to kill pop-metal, and the same thing will happen to kill fake pop-punk.

You've probably come across this a couple times, so I'll ask you.

As well and anyone else that has any ideas.

I have a friend that drums, and he’s in a rock metalish band. (They cover Rage and SOTD along with their own music). He’s probably one of the best drummers I’ve ever seen, but he’s stuck with a band that will go nowhere.

How do you get him to move on, or at least look for a way to move up? Is there a way for him to move up in that fashion?

Drummers are the catchers of baseball

Except their position adjustment is about +15.

He just needs to take the attitude that he is interviewing them.

If he wants to move on, he just needs to quit.

Like Sec said, drummers are hard to find and good drummers are impossible to find. I plan on locking mine in my basement if he ever expresses any interest in moving on.

So he just needs to take the plunge and quit. If he’s as good as you say he is and word gets around that he’s available, he’ll have a new band in no time.

But are you sure he WANTS to do something else? I’m stuck in a band that’s going nowhere, and I couldn’t be happier.

They’re not Tribe or anything, but it’s fun to listen to young rappers who dig the old shit.

by BrianL on Dec 18, 2008 5:51 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

That wasn't so hard, now, was it?

Well, to start off with, have you heard the new David Byrne/Brian Eno album? It’s quite good. If you like the Temptations, you’ll probably like Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings; If you like that and want something a little more “rocking”, check out The Bell Rays (Let It Blast is my favorite, but it’s not on Amazon so you’ll have to dig for it).

If you like Bob Dylan, you’ll like Billy Bragg. Start with William Bloke and work into his more political stuff from there.

If you like Skynyrd, check out the Drive-By Truckers; that’s one of my favorite albums of this year, and their older stuff is great too.

I don’t really care for Boston or the Eagles, so I can’t really think of a good analog for either one, but I do have to throw in the obligatory plug for The Hold Steady here. Anything they do is great – it’s a mix of Springsteen, Dylan, and a little bit of punk rock as well.

If you want to expand off of that 70’s soft rock vibe… you could go to the Zombies or Steely Dan. Both of whom are lightyears ahead of the Eagles musically.

If they still tour they should be seen live

The lead singer has the same vibe as Ike-And-Tina era Tina Turner – non-stop energy, killer voice, fearlessness – and the band is pretty ferocious.

Early high school was all about

Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and the Beatles.

If you go the Pink Floyd route, The Wall is probably the easiest to like on first listen, then Dark Side of the Moon. Then when you get old, you’ll realize those are the worst of their ouevre, but that’s okay. They are still pretty bad ass.

With Zeppelin, IV is the album with the most famous songs on it… I think I owned Physical Graffiti and liked it a lot.

And the Beatles were around a long time and really changed their sound… so their 60’s stuff sounds a lot different from the 70’s stuff (cuz they discovered drugs.) The White Album was one of 4 records my parents owned when I was growing up. It’s still outstanding… and pretty easy to enjoy for a new listener.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Band.

If you’re into the Temptations, check out anything on Stax Records. The library should have a bunch of Stax singles collections and those are a great starting point. If you’re into Boston, maybe check out ELO. I’m not a huge prog guy but ELO is pretty good. Also check out Nick Drake; not directly related to anything on your list, but you seem to like singer-songwriter type stuff and Nick Drake is fantastic.

And to echo pdb, Eno is great. His first two solo albums “Here Come the Warm Jets” and “Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy)” are among my all-time favorites.

So to be fair to Raul, he does bring up some good points about not taking positioning into account

and acknowledges that stats in general are about probabilities.

The Braves are a little pissed, says Rotoworld
In the wake of Rafael Furcal’s potential return and exit, the Braves have decided to stop doing business with the player’s agents, the Wasserman Media Group.

"Having been in this business for 40-some years, I’ve never seen anybody treated like that," Schuerholz said. "The Atlanta Braves will no longer do business with that company — ever. I told [agent] Arn Tellem that we can’t trust them to be honest and forthright. I told him that in all my years, I’ve never seen any [agency] act in such a despicable manner.

"It was disgusting and unprofessional. We’re a proud organization and we won’t allow ourselves to be treated that way. I advised Arn Tellem that whatever players he represents, just scratch us off the list. Take the name of the Atlanta Braves off their speed dial. They can deal with the other 29 clubs and we’ll deal with the other hundred agents."

I had a Dogfish Head Palo Santo this evening

it was good but not revelatory. I was somewhat disappointed.
