Currently I like Close to the Edge and Fragile by Yes.

I thought their singer was HOT and reminded me of Delores from The Cranberries in sound. The guy who sounded like he was from Gwar just totally ruined my impression of the band though. If it wasn't for him I would have thought they rocked...but he destroyed their sound and totally detracted from her awesome voice.

This guys ruins Lacuna Coil

SHE MOST DEFFINATELY MAKES IT

I have been listening to Mother Love Bone, Temple of the Dog and other tracks from the Singles soundtrack only because Steph wanted to hear some of that early Seattle stuff. Green River too.

Although they broke up I still have been playing various stuff by The Queens of the Stone Age. They rock!

We are going to New York this weekend to see Siouxsie Sioux play at a small club in Time Square. Kind of expensive concert at $650.00 each for flight/hotel/tickets but hey you only live twice. Sioux is only touring New York, Detroit, Chicago, California and various UK dates this tour.

Andy Wood from Mother Love Bone died in 1990 of a heroin overdose. He was roommates with Chris Cornell.

Mother Love Bone also had Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament who later joined Pearl Jam. After Andy Wood's death, Cornell wrote "Reach Down" and "Say Hello 2 Heaven." He played them for Gossard and Ament; the three agreed to get together to record some songs as a tribute to Wood.

Matt Cameron, who was in Soundgarden (formerly Green River) with Cornell, came on as the drummer. Mike McCready joined because he was working with Gossard and Ament at the time.

Eddie Vedder was later auditioned and asked to join the band. He only performs on a few of the songs. He shares the lead vocals on "Hunger Strike" and sings back up on 3 others. He is not listed on the album as one of the band members but is listed under the "additional" section.

Temple of the Dog released its album in April 1991. Soon after, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam started recording.

Temple of the Dog was a one-time thing done in honor of their friend, Andy Wood.

Check out Mother Love Bone's stuff.

Dj Vadim is good and the company flow album funcrush plus is legendary. El-P's stuff is really good in my opinion.

I've also been listing to Les Claypools new project called "Colonel Claypools Buckets of Bernie Brains. It's got Claypool on bass, Buckethead on guitar, Brain from primus on the drums, and bernie worrel (from parliemnt and funkadelic fame) on the keys. Its really fucking good, they just jam out but bernie worrel really gives the sound his own touch since. Reccomended.

Also, I got the new Tea Party cd called "Seven Circles" and have liked how they have taken up a more stripped down approach to their writing and producing (at least for this sonically talented band) that has been coming back with bands like Jet. This is maybe an album that could break them into the states. It also got me interested in new music, where the other Tea Party cds have made references to an older style of rock.

--------------------

Sorry, I think I remember what that word means, but I'd have to think for a moment. . . . . . AH! okay. No, no album favorites that are new. Tragically Hip-Up to Here, Slinky-Slinky, and all three LoTR soundtracks.

That's about it.
