Best songs of 2011
Started this discussion. Last reply by Stu Pope Feb 28. 10 Replies 1 Like
We've been discussing the top albums of 2011, but sometimes the best new songs don't live on those discs. Every year, I put together a "Yuletide Mix" of the songs I think should've been radio hits…Continue

Stu Pope commented on maximum jack's group For All Good Kids - A Guided by Voices Group"In iTunes, I organize all of Bob's projects (including GbV) like this:
Pollard, Robert
Pollard, Robert: Guided By Voices
Pollard, Robert: Keene Brothers
Pollard, Robert: With His Soft Rock Renegades
Pollard, Robert: With Doug Gillard
etc.,…"
Stu Pope replied to Stu Pope's discussion Best songs of 2011"The song really takes off towards the end, doesn't it? I can see how it would be a good fit for wrapping up an episode of The Walking Dead (which I'm not watching - however, lots of guys at our agency are watching it and I've been…"
Stu Pope commented on maximum jack's group For All Good Kids - A Guided by Voices Group"Great video (and great song)! I am indeed enjoying it (for the second time as I type). It seems to hearken back in a way to the sound of the earlier GbV albums, doesn't it?"
maximum jack replied to Stu Pope's discussion Best songs of 2011"Anybody else watching The Walking Dead? The most recent episode close with this gem from 2011:
I remember listening to this about 18 times in a row when I first got it. Ultimately, it did not make the cut for my Top 30-- but maybe…"
Stu Pope replied to Heikki's discussion Cover versions that are better than the originals"I think Emmylou actually sang this (with Gram Parsons, on his posthumous album Grievous Angel, circa '73) before Nazareth, circa '75. It was written over 50 years ago, by Boudleaux Bryant, for the Everly Brothers. And it sounds perfect for…"
Stu Pope replied to Heikki's discussion Cover versions that are better than the originals"I've got the Rhino "Have a Nice Day" set, Thomas (it came in a big yellow "book" with '70s icons splashed all over it). It's a true treasure trove of the amazingly great and the wonderfully bad."
Stu Pope replied to Heikki's discussion Cover versions that are better than the originals"Wow. Your brother really had a knack for finding the cringe-worthy AM hits, didn't he? I can still listen to most of those songs because of the rather pleasant "nostalgia factor," reminding me of long rides on the school bus as WERK…"
Stu Pope replied to Heikki's discussion Cover versions that are better than the originals"It's all right by me."
Stu Pope replied to Heikki's discussion Cover versions that are better than the originals"The late, great National Lampoon once had a full-page comic about a guy who lived in an apartment building whose neighbor had gone on vacation or something, leaving his record player on with the "Seasons in the Sun" 45 spinning, but…"
Stu Pope replied to maximum jack's discussion Don't Call It A Comeback."The best return I've heard recently is "The Leaving of London" by The Bevis Frond; it has been 7 years since Nick's last album.
Both Dinosaur Jr and Superchunk made unexpectedly fine "comeback" albums relatively…"
Stu Pope replied to Stu Pope's discussion Best songs of 2011"Can't wait to give it a spin, Maximum Jack. I can already tell I'm going to love it."
maximum jack replied to Stu Pope's discussion Best songs of 2011"Just posted my Top 30 comp over at Burn and Shine
Two slight changes: First in order to accommodate a couple extra tracks, the wonderful "John Kwango" was bypassed in favor of the shorter "More To This Than That" from the…"

Debra Denton said… - Hi Stu - Only just discovered the music of the Lucky Bishops and the Sea-ders recently. No matter how much time passes there are always some brilliant bands to discover. I've been on Last.Fm since 2005 and usually go there most days. Spotify has also been invaluable; I think the U.S. will get the service the end of this year.

maximum jack replied to Martin Hollingsworth's discussion Favourite Films"You and I are on the same wavelength, Gail. I posted that trailer yesterday morning on Facebook. It opens this weekend, but only in L.A. and NY. I hope it comes to Chattanooga soon. Darjeeling Limited took forever to get here."
maximum jack replied to Gail Manchester's discussion Love songs..not silly ones"The whole soundtrack is great and the movie is very good. You'll dig it more than most because you'll get all the rock & roll references. The soundtrack also has my second favorite Dinosaur Jr. song: "Take a Run at the…"
