Hello.

My name is Tyler Ball and this is where I put things.

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends (Live on Later)

Will the staff of the Late Show please learn something from Jools?

I feel like the musical portion of Letterman’s show is the one thing keeping it from becoming the greatest late night production of all time.

Often there’s bad sound and worse camera work. Perhaps there’s a budgetary problem. If so, please CBS, allow your employees to aproach their musical guests with the same care and creativity as they do across the pond.

Despite incredible performances like Janelle Monae’s this week, and some favourites from the past like the Foo Fighters playing after Dave’s heart surgery, The Vine’s infamous breakdown and this band’s quirky performance of “Daft Punk is Playing at My House”, it still feels like the best bands in the world are playing in somebody’s living room. It should feel like they’re playing in your living room.

Quasi - Bye Bye Blackbird

After listening to a bunch of psychedelic noise rock, stoner metal or some other obtuse genre of music, it’s nice to break it up and listen to a nice “straight-ahead” power pop album. Quasi’s new album is great.

Harvey Milk - “All the Live Long Day”

Holy shit I love this band.

If anyone can have a show in Regina, Saskatchewan involving playing drums on the audience, insulting drunk fans, farting into the microphone and taking the show outside to jump off some signal crossings, it would be the Israeli band Monotonix.

Comes pre StSanders‘d.

IMMMM A WAAANNNKERRRRRRR!!!!

Did I mention that I really despise Muse?

The Streets - It Was Supposed To Be So Easy (download link)

This was one of my favourite albums of the middle aughts. Not necessarily one of the best of the decade, but in the running for most honest. Not necessarily honest in premise or production, but in delivery. You feel like one of Mike Skinners best mates hearing a great story of a relationship and a misplaced £1000 told through different moods, melodies and rhythms over a pub table full of empty pints. Always worth another listen.

I’ll bet Matt Bellamy has three or four of these things already.
