Tuesday Tunes @ The Music Memoirs

What's the newest song you are currently into?

Songs. Particularly the new Raconteurs album "Consolers of the Lonely". Brendan Benson and Jack White are love. As well? The Mudcrutch album is awesome. Tom Petty FTW!

What older artists have you recently discovered?

How come I've never had "Pink Moon" by Nick Drake in my life until recently?!

What do you think of "reunion tours" or "revival tours"?

I'm all for it. I just saw Van Halen for the first time ever live. I never did see them during their "Diamond Dave" led heyday or with Sammy leading them. Dave's back, still struttin' his stuff, and Eddie freakin' Van Halen is amazing. At least I saw them live. Same goes for Zeppelin. If they tour the U.S. it will be wonderful because I of course never got to see them when they were touring back in the day, and they can still be amazing, so yes. YES. Bring the reunions ON.

What new releases are on your wish list?

I don't have any at this precise moment. I've already got what I've been waiting for.

What are we FTWing with Tom Petty? Am I missing something new?

Thanks for playing. My answers will be up later today.

Mudcrutch. Tom put his early pre Heartbreakers band back together and the new, their first, album is pretty cool.

I have to ask, is it free of the influence of a certain Jeff Lynne? If so, I will hunt it down and probably love it to pieces :)

[hippie-chick.livejournal.com]

Jeff wasn't on this project, no. Tom produced it with Mike Campbell and Ryan Ulyate.


I just grabbed it off iTunes to throw on the iPod, so my album is in m4a format or I'd just upload it for you.

Praise be! Because he makes everyone sound like ELO! I think it's posted on my music community so I'll snag it there. I know I've seen it and wondered about it :)

Heehee!! I think you'll like it, at least I hope so.

I heard you talk about one before, do you maintain a music comm here on LJ?

[elfslut.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I'm a maintainer in one. If you'd like an invite let me know. Our membership isn't open right now but if I'm online etc...I can get you approved :)

I can do some Tom Petty and some Van Halen! Zeppelin too! What I love is when my KIDS start playin' my old stuff! The boys both went through a Pink Floyd stage -- they love Jimi Hendrix and Grateful Dead... and now my one boy is even into Johnny Cash! It's so much FUN! The whole family went to see Tom Petty last summer!

Hi again. Gee, your post is interesting. I have not heard some you listed, just VanHalen and Zeppelin and Tom Petty. Guess I better be a careful listener!

I just saw VAN Halen live for the first time a few weeks ago. I don't care what anybody says. Diamond Dave has still got it! ;)

[hippie-chick.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah! He was fantastic!
