    In an effort to organize myself the arduous task called ''Best Albums in 2011'', I have, here, a list of all albums released in 2011 that I have listened to.

    01. Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
    Key Tunes: England, On Battleship Hill, The Colour of the Earth

    Take an artist, any artist, with loads of great albums. Picture that catalog and all its high points. Now imagine me telling you that that very artist has yet to release their best record. Chances are, you wouldn't believe me. I wouldn't believe me. But here we have PJ Harvey who, after two decades of releasing great - even classic, in some cases - records, has released what could very likely go down as her signature record. It's the music. It's the singing. It's the writing. It's the strange ornamentation. Everything comes together here to form a solid, memorable work that ups the ante for anyone trying to make a serious album made to move and inspire. Let England Shake is one odd album, but for me it's become a necessary one.

    All and Everyone:
    „Death was everywhere,
    in the air
    and in the sounds
    coming off the mounds
    of Bolton's Ridge.
    Death's anchorage.
    When you rolled a smoke
    or told a joke,
    it was in the laughter
    and drinking water
    it approached the beach
    as strings of cutters,
    dropped into the sea and lay around us.“


    02. Bon Iver, Bon Iver by Bon Iver
    Key Tunes: Holocene, Calgary, Perth

    Michicant:
    „Aiming and it sunk and we were drunk and we had fleshed it out
    nose up in the globes, you never know if you are passing out
    no it wasn’t maiden-up, the falling or the faded luck
    hung up in the ivory, both were climbing for a finer cause
    love can hardly leave the room
    with your heart.“



    03. build a rocket boys! by Elbow
    Key Tunes: Dear Friends, The Night Will Always Win, lippy kids

    Open Arms:
    „We got open arms for broken hearts
    Like yours my boy, come home again.“


    04. The Rip Tide by Beirut
    Key Tunes: The Rip Tide, Vagabond, Goshen

    1 genre per week listening :


    JOIN US IN LISTENING TO A DIFFERENT GENRE OR THEME EACH WEEK. STARTING FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT (going into Saturday), A NEW GENRE WILL BE RANDOMLY CHOSEN FROM A LIST. This is a great way for all to discover new music, and share it with one another. Listen for an hour, or the entire week, but LISTEN. You will not regret it.

    For the second round of listening there will be a few changes, but the basic idea will stay the same.

    New changes include: multiple weeks for larger genres of music, group members choices, featured instruments, and featured artists. I will be picking 7-10 artists per week to highlight so that I can get back to more focused listening. I will post the artists in the comment box, not here. Members are welcome to pick all, some or none of the featured artists to highlight for themselves.

    Another group I hope you all will become involved in:



    - THIS GROUP IS AN EXTENSION OF THE DIVERSITY GROUP HERE ON LAST.FM. ANYONE CAN USE IT, BUT THE IDEA IS THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE GROUP MAKE AN EFFORT AND PLAN IN PERSON GROUP MEETINGS AROUND THE WORLD ... We have been discussing the possibility of getting as many members of the group together in person for a European meeting and an American meeting in the next 1-3 years. More meetings will follow, in other parts of the World, but the first one must take place before the others can.

  • EAST COLFAX BAR CRAWL...(Denver Colorado) JOIN US ! Jan 21st, 2011

    Jan 15 2011, 4h03 por epi_gee

    Friday, January the 21st, 2011

    ... 3200 block of East Colfax near the Bluebird theater. 3 bars (maybe more) will be included. Mezcal, the Atomic Cowboy and Goosetown Tavern.

    Meetings will start at Mezcal around 9pm... then as people start to show up, we will move next door to Goosetown Tavern, then late in the evening, cross the street to the Atomic Cowboy.

    MEZCAL : http://www.mezcalcolorado.com/ / 3230 East Colfax Avenue Denver, CO. 80206 • 303.322.5219

    Goosetown Tavern : http://goosetowntavern.com/ourhistory.htm / 3242 East Colfax Avenue Denver, CO 80206-1712 (303) 399-9703

    The Atomic Cowboy : http://www.atomiccowboy.net/ / 3237 East Colfax Avenue Denver, CO 80206-1711 (303) 377-7900


    Mezcal is an authentic Mexican taqueria and cantina serving both award winning home-style Mexican food, fresh lime Margaritas and over 250 tequilas and Mezcals.

    Mezcal’s warm décor, with Moroccan lamps and Mexican wrestling posters, embraces both traditional and popular elements of Mexican Culture.

    Tequila tastings, special dinners and offbeat celebrations of holidays from North and South ofthe border ensure that the next party is just around the corner.



    The Goosetown Tavern, opened in September 1998, is located at the south-west corner of Colfax and Adams in Denver’s Congress Park area, right across the street from the Bluebird Theater. The Goosetown Tavern is all about having fun. It features 12 beers on tap, a full bar, two pool tables and a delectable assortment of sandwiches, pizza, appetizers, soup and salads. Also, rotating artwork is a cornerstone to its mystique.

    NEVER A FROWN IN THE GOOSETOWN!

    Goosetown is named for a former bar of the same name in Golden, Colorado where German immigrants once communed. A German immigrant, Julius Shultz, originally built the Goosetown Tavern in 1873. Until its demise, the original Goosetown Tavern was the oldest continually licensed tavern in Colorado. It originally acquired its quirky moniker from the nickname of the community it served. The German immigrants who settled in the foothills around Golden brought with them their fondness for waterfowl and created many ponds and lakes to encourage migrating geese to stay in Golden. Their scheme worked and the district became known as Goosetown.

    Upon demolition of the original bar in 1998 to make room for a parking lot, John Hickenlooper, founder of the Wynkoop Brewing Company, salvaged the front and back bars and booths in an effort to capture the essence of the original Goosetown Tavern and restored them to their present location.



    the Atomic Cowboy has morphed from a late-night, post-concert fave into an all-day jack-of-all-trades spot. Two food purveyors inhabit the bar: From early in the morning into the afternoon, the Denver Biscuit Company cranks out biscuit sandwiches and platters for the local workforce; starting at lunch, Fat Sully's bakes greasy, huge pizza slices and pies for dine-in, takeout or delivery, and continues serving until the wee hours. As for the Cowboy itself, the cavernous joint comes fully stocked with a bi-level bar that features a daily happy hour (as well as daily specials), a trivia night, a few well-placed plasmas, pool tables and a slew of board games.
    There aren't a lot of joints in Denver that have games. But the Atomic Cowboy is stocked with them. Lots of them. Chutes and Ladders. Candy Land. Monopoly. Taboo. Yahtzee. They're just a few reasons folks in groups seem to populate this spacious and lively Colfax bar. That, and the fact that they sport a decent selection of beers on tap, including local brews from Breckenridge Brewery and Great Divide. Oh, and it's a block west of the Bluebird Theater, which makes it an ideal spot for pre-show imbibing and even better after a gig, since Fat Sully's New York-style pizza, inside the Cowboy, serves up huge slices every day of the week until at least 1 a.m.


    Epi_Gee's EVENT GATHERINGS "Outings"/"Bar-Hops"

    Denver/Boulder/Front Range COLORADO.

    BARS, VENUES, CONCERTS, EVENTS & GET TOGETHERS... this one is just for the adults.

    Basically a bar-hop, except we will do more than just bars, and we will focus on one/two venue (s), club (s) or bar (s) per get together. Each meeting will be very different from the last, and I encourage EVERYONE to attend EACH EVENT.

    In the course of a year we will explore a variety of music styles, concerts, social scenes and even non-music events that incorperate music. The meetings might take place in as diverse and extreme environments as concert venues, theaters, bowling alleys, warehouses, art galleries, strip clubs, pubs, gay bars, dance clubs, stretch limos, double decker buses and more...

    Music styles will range from accoustical folk to death metal, hip-hop to be-bop, bluegrass to classical, country & western to goth... and all points in between.

    The idea is to have fun, meet new people, and jump into new experiences with an open mind. Attendees should have a good attitude, and be very accepting of others cultures, styles and sexual orientations. Otherwise, don't attend.

    Hope to see you all there !

    -E

    P.S. Hey everybody ! Whether you are wanting to attend or not, on the events page, use the "select guests to invite" tab under the photo to invite people you want to bring with you... or that might want to attend. OR use the SHARE button under the title to post this event to your profile. The more the merrier at these events. THANK YOU

    “GOOD MORNING, MYSTERY OF LIFE!”
    In an effort to organize myself the arduous task called ''Best Albums in 2010'', I have, here, a list of all albums released in 2010 that I have listened to.



    01. High Violet by The National
    Key Tunes: Terrible Love, Sorrow, Little Faith

    “Imagine sitting in front of your therapist and discussing life’s miserable journeys, wandering through both the past and the present – the good, the bad and, mostly, the very ugly – absorbing these memories, accepting them, and letting them take you over ‘like a little drop of ink in a glass of water’. This is the experience of listening to The National.”
    "Perfect summations of what it means to be young, deeply romantic, but also feel terribly old at the same time; terribly cynical about the caverns of unknowing and lurking tragedy that surround every relationship, waiting to destroy it. This is the experience of listening to High Violet"
    The band tackles different subjects throughout their songs: from stories about nervous love to isolated and haunting pieces about friendship to songs about regret, commiseration, and sorrow. 'Terrible Love' for instance, it isn't necessarily so bad, it's just about being overwhelmed by this emotion of love, whatever that is, or if you did something wrong to someone you love. There's a lot of stress and anxiety on there. But the music, even if rarely ‘happy’, is almost always hopeful. Therefore, the songs do not leave you feeling down and downright depressed; they give you hope – hope that someday you will overcome your miseries, sorrows and regrets. For me, The National’s tracks are pieces of comfortable sadness.
    My ranking list: Boxer, Alligator, High Violet, Cherry Tree, Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers, The Virginia EP, The National

    Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks:
    „Man it’s all been forgiven
    Swans are a-swimming
    I’ll explain everything to the geeks
    Hanging from
    Chandeliers
    Same small woe
    At your heels.“


    02. Teen Dream by Beach House
    Key Tunes: 10 Mile Stereo, Real Love, Take Care

    Norway:

    „Where you thinking that you gotta run to now
    With the beating of a tiny heart?
    Hang on to the things that you're supposed to say
    Millions of stars, they hold onto your breath.“


    03. Lisbon by The Walkmen
    Key Tunes: Woe Is Me, Stranded, Juveniles

    Lisbon:
    „Every chance you had
    All the love and light
    all the joy and grace
    don't be upset.“


    04. The Wild Hunt by The Tallest Man On Earth
    Key Tunes: Love Is All, Kids on the Run, Troubles Will Be Gone

    Love Is All:
    „Oh, I said I could rise
    From the harness of our goals
    Here come the tears
    But like always, I let them go
    Just let them go.“


    05. The Suburbs by Arcade Fire
    Key Tunes: We Used to Wait, Rococo, Suburban War

    We Used To Wait:
    „Like a patient on a table
    I wanna walk again
    Gonna move to the pain
    Now our lives are changing fast
    Hope that something pure can last.“


    06. Tomorrow Morning by Eels
    Key Tunes: What I Have to Offer, Mystery Of Life, Oh So Lovely

    What I Have To Offer:
    „I got a pleasin' disposition
    And I don't care about
    Football or fishin'
    And you know that I'm all full of love
    For you.“


    07. So Runs The World Away by Josh Ritter
    Key Tunes: Lantern, See How Man Was Made, The Curse

    The Curse:
    „Long ago on the ship
    She asked why pyramids
    He said "Think of them as an immense invitation."
    She asks "Are you cursed?"
    He says "I think that I'm cured."
    Then he kissed her and hoped
    That she'd forget that question.“


    08. Brothers by The Black Keys
    Key Tunes: Too Afraid to Love You, Howlin’ For You, Everlasting Light

    Too Afraid To Love You:
    „All those sleepless nights
    And all those wasted days
    I wish loneliness would leave me
    But I think he's here to stay
    What more can I do
    I'm wringing myself dry
    And I can't afford to lose
    One more teardrop from my eye.“


    09. Falling Down A Mountain by Tindersticks
    Key Tunes: Harmony Around My Table, Factory Girls, Peanuts

    Factory Girls:
    „It's the wine that makes me sad, not the love I've never had.“

    10. Cinema by The Cat Empire
    Key Tunes: Reasonably Fine, Call Me Home, Only Light

    Call Me Home:
    „And I went down to the water,
    Where my heart beats slow, oh oh,
    The river started flowing,
    And I know where it goes.
    Call me home.“


    11. I Speak Because I Can by Laura Marling
    Key Tunes: Devil’s Spoke, Hope In The Air, Rambling Man

    Goodbye England (Covered In Snow):
    „But a friend of mine says it's good to hear
    That you believe in love even if set in fear
    well I'll hold you there brother and set you straight
    I wont make believe that love is frail
    And willing to break.“


    12. As I Call You Down by Fistful Of Mercy
    Key Tunes: Restore Me, Fistful Of Mercy, With Whom You Belong

    Restore Me:
    „You dream a lot about the past
    And you dream that it's never gonna last
    So you wanna give your love to your sister and your friends
    You wanna give your love to the one who's faced in the end
    You want it all but you gotta give
    You want it all but you gotta forgive
    Restore me, Restore me, now and make me sane
    Restore me; Restore me, now I gotta give up your ghost.“


    13. To The Sea by Jack Johnson
    Key Tunes: Turn Your Love, No Good With Faces, To The Sea

    Only The Ocean:
    „After all this time after all these seasons
    After your one decision to go to the water for reason
    Now it’s only the ocean and you
    After all these lines will all be erased soon
    They go out with the tide
    Then come back with the waves
    It’s only the ocean and you.“


    14. End Times by Eels
    Key Tunes: End Times, The Beginning, On My Feet

    Little Bird:
    „Little Bird
    You look alright
    I‘m sure it‘s not easy
    Getting through your night
    So tell me this can‘t be
    How it‘s gonna end
    Tell me my heart
    Somehow
    Dear God
    It‘s gonna mend.“



    15. God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise by Ray LaMontagne and the Pariah Dogs
    Key Tunes: For The Summer, Are We Really Through, Devil's In The Jukebox

    For The Summer:
    „Can I come home for the summer?
    I could slow down for a little while
    Get back to loving each other
    Leave all those long and lonesome miles behind
    Through the years I have learned
    Some things worth the tellin'
    And you'd be right in guessin'
    That each and every lesson they were hard won.“


    16. Contra by Vampire Weekend
    Key Tunes: Taxi Cab, Diplomat’s Son, White Sky

    Contra:
    „I had a feeling once
    That you and I
    Could tell each other everything
    For two months
    But even with an oath
    With truth on our side
    When you turn away from me
    It’s not right.“


    17. Y Not by Ringo Starr
    Key Tunes: Walk With You, Everyone Wins, Mystery Of The Night

    Walk With You:
    „You paint a picture of love in pain
    I don't have time in what time remains
    What I have just tried to explain flew by you
    What can I do with a heart of steel
    I would impart what I've come to feel
    Love is the answer and It is real
    I'll always be there beside you.“

    You're in the breeze.“

    Oh but nobody loves you
    Or woos you when you're down or kicked.“


    20. Wreckorder by Fran Healy
    Key Tunes: As It Comes, Buttercups, Sing Me to Sleep

    I'll have to get a new tie.“

    Cold War:

    But being alone's the only way to be
    When you step outside
    You spend life fighting for your sanity
    If you wanna be free?
    Below the ground's the only place to be
    Cause in this life
    You spend time running from depravity.“

    Epi_Gee's EVENT GATHERINGS "Outings"/"Bar-Hops"

    Denver/Boulder/Front Range COLORADO.

    BARS, VENUES, CONCERTS, EVENTS & GET TOGETHERS... this one is just for the adults.

    Basically a bar-hop, except we will do more than just bars, and we will focus on one/two venue (s), club (s) or bar (s) per get together. Each meeting will be very different from the last, and I encourage EVERYONE to attend EACH EVENT.

    In the course of a year we will explore a variety of music styles, concerts, social scenes and even non-music events that incorperate music. The meetings might take place in as diverse and extreme environments as concert venues, theaters, bowling alleys, warehouses, art galleries, strip clubs, pubs, gay bars, dance clubs, stretch limos, double decker buses and more...

    Music styles will range from accoustical folk to death metal, hip-hop to be-bop, bluegrass to classical, country & western to goth... and all points in between.

    The idea is to have fun, meet new people, and jump into new experiences with an open mind. Attendees should have a good attitude, and be very accepting of others cultures, styles and sexual orientations. Otherwise, don't attend.

    Hope to see you all there !

    -E

    P.S. Hey everybody ! Whether you are wanting to attend or not, on the events page, use the "select guests to invite" tab under the photo to invite people you want to bring with you... or that might want to attend. OR use the SHARE button under the title to post this event to your profile. The more the merrier at these events. THANK YOU
