Hello and welcome to Work Tunes - brought to you without the amazing power of lazer beams!
On this week's playlist, I've got a couple of albums I want to buy on vinyl from U2 and Bob Dylan; an REM classic thanks to @bobearth mentioning it on Twitter, some Black Box Recorder I grabbed because I'm a fan of their Andrew Ridgely track, Gillian Welch because she has a new album out soon, early BDP because of a discussion about where Hip Hop started and Viva Hate because of Ryan Adams and Dave Rawlings' argument that opens Heartbreaker. Plus some other stuff.
This is it here:
- U2 - Achtung Baby
- R.E.M. - Automatic For The People
- Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
- Eminem - Encore
- VA - Spin Magazine June 2011
- Black Box Recorder - England Made Me
- Morrissey - Viva Hate
- Boogie Down Productions - By All Means Necessary
- Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call (Remastered)
- Gillian Welch - Hell Among the Yearlings
- Anthony Da Costa
- The Rural Alberta Advantage
- Tim Easton
- Seapony
- Bon Iver
One of my Perth Twitter peeps, who is a massive Whiskeytown/Adams fan asked me last week if I knew Anthony Da Costa’s music. I didn’t. In her words, he sounds like “Heartbreaker era Ryan” She wasn’t kidding. This is almost a case of Radams pretending to be someone else. That of course isn’t a good thing for Mr Da Costa, but I have only heard this one album, there are more. Dylan sounded just like Woody Guthrie on debut, so let’s give Da Costa the benefit of the doubt. My twitter buddy is hooking me up a mix.
This song, Love Is Not Enough, as well as sounding like Grizzly, is pretty well written and features a decent acoustic guitar fill with a fiddle and piano lines. It’s got a catchy chorus that I’d be singing except I’m too busy thinking ‘Damn this guy sounds like Ryan Adams”. Enjoy.
Ciao For Niao
That's all you get this week kids. Thanks for playing. May the tunes you love be fruitful in the belly of your headphones... or something.
