Crowquill/JayJamJahs Compilation Thread
Basically we're (matious, crowquill, jayjamjah) going to upload 5-10 songs compilations by bands we really like for people to download and get into them if they've never heard them, have heard of them but havn't gotten into them yet. We'll also also take requests on anything I listen to to upload a compilation for.
Index: Ben Harper Brand New Bright Eyes Daniel Johnston Elliott Smith Elliott Smith Level II Elvis Costello Okkervil River Okkervil River Level II Million Dead Modest Mouse Phil Ochs Public Enemy The Smiths Van Morrison |
Hey Crow, Can I add bands\artists and compilations to your thread as well?
Here are some I hope to cover I'll take requests and some of these maybe to obvious, but i bet some folks don't really know their music as well as they think. Led Zeppelin Ben Harper Elvis Costello John Hiatt The Velvet Underground Queen Van Morrison Stevie Ray Vaughn Eric Clapton Mos Def KRS-One The Yardbirds Buddy Holly Blues Traveler The Grateful Dead Please help me find my way... |
Sure thing, let me fix the title.
|
I think I was going to do a thread like this with swim. Too bad after she agreed to it she never followed through.
|
Next in line:
Elliott Smith Bright Eyes Patrick Wolf Nick Drake The Smiths Okkervil River The Elected (possibly) Page France Brand New Wilco Neutral Milk Hotel Rilo Kiley Death Cab For Cutie Voxtrot |
maybe you should just make this an open thread for anyone that wants to do a compilation?
i have a few in mind... |
I don't want too many people clogging it up =/

Okkervil River
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a...ervilriver.jpg Genre: Alt-Country Sounds Like: Bright Eyes (Lifted), The Mountain Goats, The Decemberists 1. Black Sheep Boy 2. For Real 3. John Allyn Smith Sails 4. Song Of Our So-Called Friend 5. Savannah Smiles 6. Westfall 7. Okkervil River Song hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?bdluynlyjyl |
Brand New
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/a..._/brandnew.jpg Genre: Alternative Rock I really think alot of people should give this compilation a listen, it shows a much more matured Brand New then when they first debuted. While they still havn't escaped the pop-punk/emo tag, they don't sound a thing like that anymore. With the last release they've proven to be a very very dynamic alternative rock band. 1. Jesus 2. Untitled 02 3. You Won't Know 4. Millstone 5. Untitled 07 ('Fork and Knife') 6. Untitled 03 ('Brothers') 7. Two-Headed Boy Pt. II (Neutral Milk Hotel) hxxp://www.mediafire.com/?cmjntftfmo2 |

I really like this thread idea. One of the best ideas On MB. If ethan was female i'd slot it. SHOPLIFTERS OF THE WORLD UNITE should be in THE SMITHS comp. |
Yeah, there was a few that I wanted to put on but decided against it, for accessibility purposes and length purposes. I kind of still wish i'd put Suffer Little Children on.

My Review of the Compilation
Quote:
I have these three praises for Okkervil River 1. Great range of influence (They seem to just play what they want to hear, I love that) 2. Outstanding\Interesting Lyrics I was reaching for lyrics search within seconds of each cut. 3. They follow Occams Razor. In other words they understand simple works, no over production, just their instruments and their inspiration again I dig that. In the spirit of fairness I'd offer the following complaints as well 1. Poor song structure. Most of their songs struggle to transition from movement to movement as smoothly more polished acts in the genre. 2. Singers range is limited; not a bad singer, just limited. A lot of songs sound the same once he starts singing, I like the harmonizing a lot though. This is the kind of band that could grow on me, Nice compilation, I'll buy an album and give it a try. |
I don't know, I think Will Sheff is a fantastic vocalist. He isn't strong but that isn't needed since it shows he means what hes singing.

Well i'm going to make a level 2 to Okkervil River for you, i'll put on some songs like Black that I think will show you what i'm talking about. That tracklist doesn't hold any of his more emotive vocal works.

Well let me give you a run down on their albums..
Their debut album Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You See is a much more rootsy alternative country, at times indie-folk album. It has Westfall and Okkervil River Song on it. Black Sheep Boy which contains For Real, Song Of Our So-Called Friend and of course, Black Sheep Boy is the Dave and mines favorite Okkervil River album. I believe its his favorite album ever? If not its one of his, and certainly one of mine. Its a much much more emotional release, musically its hard to pin, but you've heard a few of the tracks so I don't know if I need to or not. It contains some of their most dark stuff but its a brilliant album. The Stage Names which contains John Allyn Smith Sails and Savannah Smiles is a more rock release, but still has hints at their alt-country roots. Its their most upbeat and accessible. Anyway i'm going to start assembling the compilation now, if its not up my later tonight it'll be up by tomorrow. They also have another album Down The River Of Golden Dreams, but I really havn't listened to it too much. It has one song It Ends With a Fall, that I like alot though which will be in the next compilation. |

Down The River of Golden Dreams isn't all that spectacular, it's like an inbetween of Don't Fall In Love With Everyone You See and The Stage Names. |

Don't Fall In Love is a fantastic album, good choice.

I have only listened to the Ben Harper compilation so far. I like his voice, and of course I have heard it before, but his music is quite generic to my ears. Nothing has stayed within my listening radar. Keep them coming though!

^ Thank you very much, I wanted to get some Van Morrison recently.
|
Brown Eyed Girl, but no Moondance? One of my favourite tracks. Thank's for the up though.
|
Could you do one for Bright Eyes? I always wanted to get into it, but have no idea where to start, or what his best stuff is.

Quote:
Also what did you think of the order of my playlist? did you notice the crescendo of tempo\volume in tracks 1-7? |
I'll do Bright Eyes sometime over the week.
