Songs of the Week – Hypnotized
A collage I made awhile back..
Bob Dylan -
Yes, it’s Bob Dylan. If you don’t know who he is you…. might need to die in a hole (or is that a bit harsh)? His Last.fm description does not do him justice..
P.S. they played a Bob Dylan song at my BAR MITZVAH PARTY (which you’ll be hearing about soon) and Tavi – of course – knew every single word and sung every one of them.
“Bob Dylan (born Robert Allen Zimmerman on May 24, 1941 in Duluth, Minnesota) is an American musician, poet and artist, whose place in American and European culture in the 1960s through to the present is unique.” - Last.fm on Bob Dylan
Radiohead -
Yay! Radiohead is suh-weet.
“Radiohead are an English alternative rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire. The band is composed of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, rhythm guitar, piano, beats), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboard, other instruments), Ed O’Brien (guitar, backing vocals), Colin Greenwood (bass guitar) and Phil Selway (drums, percussion).” - Last.fm on Radiohead
Neutral Milk Hotel -
Despite being a lesser-known indie project, their album In The Aeroplane Over The Sea is one of the best sounding (song and quality-wise) albums of all time. It is a fact, my friends.
“Neutral Milk Hotel centered on chief lyricist and songwriter, Jeff Mangum, who on the band’s two full-length albums, played with a number of other musicians, notably Jeremy Barnes (drums), Scott Spillane (horns), Julian Koster (saw/banjo/accordion/bass guitar) and producer-instrumentalist Robert Schneider. Neutral Milk Hotel were one of the original members of the Elephant Six Collective, based in Athens, Georgia. They have been on an indefinite hiatus since 1998.” – Last.fm on Neutral Milk Hotel
Bob Marley & The Wailers -
Mmm.. Reggae. My friends and I like to play reggae when we’re “jamming,” as they say. It’s really fun to play on drums, even though it’s got a pretty basic, essential groove.
“Bob Marley & the Wailers was a reggae band created in 1973 by Bob Marley, after Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailerleft the precursor band, The Wailers.” – Last.fm on Bob Marley & The Wailers
Blitzen Trapper -
An indie band, on Sub Pop, very similar to Fleet Foxes. My favorite song of their album, Furr, is probably Furr. I had a lot to say about these guys but I forgot now..
“Blitzen Trapper are a sextet based out of Portland, Oregon, United States. In various combinations and guises, the group had already played a long time together before the “crystalization event” in July 2000 on the slopes of the famous volcano Mt Hood. Since then they have delighted audiences of all ages and socioeconomic groups, mostly playing close to home and for many years distributing recordings like itinerant madmen, for free.” - Last.fm on Blitzen Trapper
The name of this embed playlist color scheme on Grooveshark is “Hipster Sneakers”… reminds me of LATFH.
