O R E I L L E S <> D E <> C R I S S E: Thelonious Monk - Solo Monk (1964)
http://earsofchrist.blogspot.com/2009/04/thelonious-monk-solo-monk.html
Thursday, April 30, 2009. Thelonious Monk - Solo Monk (1964). Recorded mostly in 1964, features only Thelonious Monk playing piano compositions that are only about half his. I don't know a whole lot about jazz, nor am I a piano player, so I can't try to talk about the intricacies and genious of Thelonious Monk, but it's kind of cool to hear him just playing around on the piano by himself. 1 Dinah (Akst, Lewis, Young). 2 I Surrender, Dear (Barris, Clifford). 3 Sweet and Lovely (Arnheim, LeMare, Tobias).

O R E I L L E S <> D E <> C R I S S E: DB #72 - Squares Blot Out The Sun (1990)
http://earsofchrist.blogspot.com/2009/10/db-72-squares-blot-out-sun-1990.html
Thursday, October 29, 2009. DB #72 - Squares Blot Out The Sun (1990). The stuff that doesn't sound like the B-52's is mostly really good - The Fans, The Brains, Pylon. It's pretty much just some solid new wave and 80's punk from the hometown of REM and, I don't know.The Allman Brothers? Definitely worth listening to. I particularly liked The Fans, Tim Lee, the Brains, and the Swimming Pool Q's. 1 Pylon - Cool (1980). 2 The Fans - True (1979). 3 Jack Heard - Sex Machine. 4 The Reivers - Bidin' Time.

Saturday, September 5, 2009. Alright, so I haven't really done much posting this summer, but that is soon to change. Well, soon as in after a couple of weeks. I'm in Detroit right now and have just picked up some interesting looking comps from Car City Records and Stormy Records and will be posting those after I get back to Montreal. I don't really know anything about them yet, but here is the list:. From Twisted Minds Come Twisted Products. Squares Blot Out The Sun. Atlantic SD 2-508 - 1976 - Features t...

Monday, August 10, 2009. Bloodstains Across Belgium Vol. II (1998). I lost my camera, so I couldn't get any pictures of the album cover, and there was nothing good on the internet. But hopefully, one day soon, I will be able to add them to this post. The past few months I had been eyeing one of the Belgium punk comps over at Pick-Up Records. But never picked up (eh? Because they were kind of pricey. Why have I been eyeing a Belgian record for so long? 1 Raxola - Kill Your Son (1978). 12 Jeugd van Tegenwo...

O R E I L L E S <> D E <> C R I S S E: Alex Chilton - No Sex EP (1986)
http://earsofchrist.blogspot.com/2009/06/alex-chilton-no-sex-ep.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Alex Chilton - No Sex EP (1986). Alex Chilton is a badass. Look at him, he's on his car. He's against a wall. I'm actually starting to think that this entire blog is an excuse to post Alex Chilton. He is the singer in The Box Tops. He is a man. No Sex" is a pretty funny look at AIDS, far before AIDS was funny (1986). "No sex, not anymore" being the constant refrain. Chilton also maintains that "Pretty soon, we're all gonna get it". Very bleak. Very Serious. View my complete profile.

O R E I L L E S <> D E <> C R I S S E: Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes (1972)
http://earsofchrist.blogspot.com/2009/06/mott-hoople-all-young-dudes.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Mott the Hoople - All the Young Dudes (1972). Some of you might think that you've never heard these guys before, but when the title track comes on, you'll realize that you've listened to them at least 20 times in a row whilst trying to destroy "All the Young Dudes" on expert in Guitar Hero. You may hate them for it. Or at least I did. Anyways, aside from all that, this album. Oh yeah, Bowie plays sax on this album, too. 2 Momma's Little Jewel. 3 All the Young Dudes.

Sunday, July 25, 2010. The Box Tops - The Letter/Neon Rainbow (1967). Another Alex Chilton post. This time, though, is the big stuff. This is the first album that the Box Tops made, and it is also their most famous - featuring the eponymous songs The Letter. Well, eponymous in the sense that the songs lend their name to the album. Not to the artists. This is the first time I've used the word, but I've seen it used in relation to music so often that I felt I had to. The Letter. Box Tops - Non-Stop. 3 Stop...

O R E I L L E S <> D E <> C R I S S E: Ennio Morricone Ringtones
http://earsofchrist.blogspot.com/2010/04/ennio-morricone-ringtones.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. Uck, this is a little embarrassing, but I just made some ringtones from a couple of Ennio Morricone's tunes. Namely, one from "Jokes on the Side" off of Duck You Sucker. And two from the main theme of "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". On the "Jokes on the Side" one, you can still hear the turntable rotating, it's pretty awesome. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Sunday, August 22, 2010. The Box Tops - NonStop (1968). This one got deleted a few times, which I think is kind of odd considering all of the other stuff on here. I don't feel like re-writing this, so here is what I wrote about a year ago:. 1 Choo Choo Train. 2 I'm Movin' On. 4 She Shot A Hole In My Soul. 5 People Gonna Talk. 6 I Met Her In Church. 7 Rock Me Baby. 8 Rollin' In My Sleep. 9 I Can Dig It. 10 Yesterday Where's My Mind. 11 If I Had Let You In.
