QC Music Blog discussion thread
Trynant:
I'd just like to bring mention back to an old article from the blog on Some Loud Thunder by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. I wasn't around QC at the time. Strangely enough it's the only album I've bought mentioned in the blog that I didn't get because of the blog. And it was my entry point into listening to the band. I've started listening to it again and realized only recently that "Satan Said Dance" has to be my favorite song on that entire album (which replaces "Five Easy Pieces" by the way). And this is not because of some movie based on a Palahniuk novel using the song in their trailer. For that matter, it's almost every other song in Some Loud Thunder is a brilliant piece of work, followed by track that clashes entirely with the one before it. That's the only thing I could critique the album for--it's more of a compilation of songs rather than one focused work. But damn if those aren't some wonderful, wonderful songs.
I have to disagree about their self-titled debut being the better album. Well, maybe as a whole Clap You Hands Say Yeah was more cohesive and maintained experience, but Some Loud Thunder brings a handful of diamonds in the rough that outshine its predecessor.
Maybe it's because I've listened to Some Loud Thunder first that I like it more. Maybe I should listen to the s/t more.
Still have yet to get the Live Adventures of the Waterboys :-(

Hey i'm wondering if there are any other bands like Orba Squara and if so feel free to leave a long and drawn out list.

I don't even know what the deal is with the music blog any more, but some things can't go unmarked.

basically it was part of the "clutter" i am trying to clean up on my site.
that gives short shrift to the contributions of you guys though; it is some really good stuff.
there ought to be a way to make the blog a more communal QC Music Board thing and publicize that. I am open to suggestions.
Inlander:
What? Why didn't anyone ever send me free records? Hmph!
(Also I am for serious putting my feet up this time and letting somebody else upload something to the blog next.)
