NWR: music

[Sharon Bowman]

I think there must be many and very diverse tastes in music on this board. I'd like to hear what you'd have playing in the background whilst pouring shared tastes such as Lapierre or Puzelat, etc.

Dish, Disorderlies, do dish.

I'm also asking because my taste in music seems to evolve at a glacial pace, and I continue to spin records (or MP3s) I've been listening to since my double-digit age started with a 1. That won't do. Need infusions of the new, even if old.

 

[Joel Stewart]

Might just be my mood tonight, but I'd love to see someone shot between the eyes with a Zappa guitar solo when they suggest Leonard Cohen as an appropriate wine for Lapierre. It is quite the opposite.

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

I would drink it to the strains of Aimee Mann's The Forgotten Arm (2005).

Sharon, Not with the wines you cite, but otherwise I like the kind of background music provided by the likes of John Mayall.

Is she the one who did that very memorable song in the movie "Magnolia"?

 

[Bill Lundstrom]

the new ray lamontagne is a nice pairing with just about any wine.

Exactly. Her other records are irregular, but this one I can't seem to stop playing, even after two years of regular spins. It's like the ultimate house wine.

LCD Soundsystem, Animal Collective, Dirty Projectors: hipster music for hipster wine (Cornelissen, V&S, maybe Puzelat).

Sam Cooke, Al Green: old school, soulful music for old school, soulful wines (Lapierre, CRB).

Parliament: soulful, funky music for soulful, funky wines (Coquelet B-V?, Thevenet?).

 

[Vincent Fritzsche]

If I recall correctly, we drank Lapierre the other night while listening to Richmond Fontaine's We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River, Wilco's most recent album(can't remember the title) which sounds a little like the Allman Brothers (!!), and The Clash Live at Shea, which totally kicks ass.

 

[Jeff Grossman]

For hipster wine, Django Reinhardt.

For old school wine, Couperin Le Grand.

For soulful funky, Jean-Baptiste Lully.

(Note that I am not usually in charge of music at home.)

 

[Don Rice]

I'm usually wrestling music into submission all day at work.
So with wine, silence is usually golden.

I have the same problem. Although I'm stuck on CDs. And my tastes have evolved, but I just never get around to purchasing/tracking down any of the new music. There are only so many hours in a day and this just never seems to creep up the priority list.

I'm even worse. In my car CD PLAYER (!!!) I have Wilco, Joy Division, Clifford Brown & Max Roach, Phoenix x 2, Uncle Tupelo.

That's just sad.

It's all about closure. I like CDs, but don't like the boxes they come in.

You like your music in tree-by-product closure, also?

How bad is it that two of the five cds in the car player have already been mentioned above? This is Happening (LCD Soundsystem), Clifford Brown & Max Roach, In Rainbows, Broken Bells, and (Miles Davis) Live at Monterey (1963)

So the average age of posters to this topic is what? 77?

Now that you've chimed in it is.

(I am looking forward to the skraft music recs, though)

Lully really came into his own when Louis XIV appointed him to lead the Grande Bande in 1653. So, a true fan would be on the order of 370 years old.

Since I've ripped all my CDs to FLAC and play them through a Sonos, I've managed a huge increase in the variety of stuff I listen to. No longer limited by (1) CDs I liked enough to put in the changer and then by (2) CDs I listened to often enough in the changer that I could actually remember what number slot they were in.

Items on the most frequent rotation (figuratively) at the moment:
- the second half of the new Cowboy Junkies album Renmin Park.
- Sufjan Stevens, especially Illinoise - can't believe it took me so long to discover this guy.
- Iron & Wine.
- Stina Nordenstam.
- Live boots from the current Roger Waters tour.

Donald Fagen and Steely Dan. With the preponderance of NYC area disorderlies, I am curious to hear about any personal experiences with Fagen and Becker that can be recounted.

There's a band called Liquid Soul from Chicago that has some tasty stuff. Nina Simone's daughter, who simply goes by Simone, recorded some material with them.

Lots of Little Feat. I've been mourning Richie.
