May CD Run
Picked up some new CDs yesterday: The Stills - Logic Will Break Your Heart The Stills, Montreal natives, recorded this debut album in New York last year. They are friends with and sound similar to Interpol, a relatively new band from NYC. The lead singer and drummer write all of The Stills songs, with the drumming being a fairly integral part of most songs and that gives a cool feel. It's not unlike the Hetfield-Ulrich collaboration in Metallica, and you can hear the drum influence in that band as well. Ulrich, Metallica's drummer, didn't mind speaking for the band in the least. He was in the public spotlight a few years ago denouncing song downloading, especially on Napster. The most radio-friendly-sounding song on The Stills' album, Still in Love Song, has a video and it's getting some time on MuchMusic. The Stills also have a few videos of live performances on their web site. When I listen to the other albums I might write something up. Recording new albums right now: Interpol, Doves.

Yesterday on ET, Tom Cruise was asked what CD do he currently have in his car CD player, he replied Interpol. » Posted by: Gip at May 5, 2004 06:59 AMSorry, I meant Brad Pitt. » Posted by: Gip at May 5, 2004 07:01 AMI heard on the radio yesterday that after nude pictures of him were released Brad Pitt admitted he was "hung like a hamster". Not very flattering. :) » Posted by: Ryan at May 5, 2004 07:23 AMRyan, your description of the Stills album bears a resemblance to that of *Patrick Bateman's* description of his albums. Are you hinting at something? » Posted by: James at May 6, 2004 12:03 AMYes James, I'm a Psycho. » Posted by: Ryan at May 6, 2004 12:39 AMI knew it! mwahahaha! *evil grin* » Posted by: Ryan at May 6, 2004 11:23 AM |
