One thing I enjoy doing is taking cover albums/tribute albums and recreating them using the original artists. Yes, I am a sad creature. Don't rub it in. Anyway, I've done just that with the previous entry, thus producing TL;DL Vol. 3A - Trackin' Yr Covers. Our very first subset compilation!<br /><br /><img src="http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee382/stoffzeug/TLDL/KaraokeMachine.jpg"/><br /><br />01 - The Fall - Hip Priest<br />02 - Dicks - Wheelchair Epidemic<br />03 - Johnny Kidd And The Pirates - Shakin' All Over<br />04 - Grand Funk Railroad - Sin's A Good Man's Brother<br />05 - Swell Maps - Loin of the Surf<br />06 - The Weirdos - Life Of Crime<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?s3zcygg32yxt55n">Download Trackin' Yr Covers</a><br /><br />Track 1 from <span style="font-style:italic;">Hex Enduction Hour</span> by The Fall<br />Track 2 from <span style="font-style:italic;">1980-1986</span> by Dicks<br />Track 3 from <span style="font-style:italic;">25 Greatest Hits</span> by Johnny Kidd And The Pirates<br />Track 4 from <span style="font-style:italic;">Closer To Home</span> by Grand Funk Railroad<br />Track 5 from <span style="font-style:italic;">A Trip to Marineville</span> by Swell Maps<br />Track 6 from <span style="font-style:italic;">Weird World, Volume 1: 1977-1981</span> by The Weirdosmercurochromehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03389087488621591335noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2253081537371347945.post-27630106547109979142011-05-17T10:59:00.001-07:002011-05-17T16:25:53.849-07:00TL;DL Vol. 3 - Coverin' Yr TracksYikes, talk about people with little to no attention span. It's been months since I've posted anything here. Well, such is life. Hopefully this latest offering will make it up to the diehards and any suckers who wandered in here by accident. <br /><br />Like many people, I've got a soft spot for a good cover tune. Hearing an interpretation of an old favorite can be a great introduction to a new band. Or listening to a band you like pay homage to their influences can get you into bands you may have missed the first time around. Or maybe it's all a lot of karaoke. Whatever it is, I think they're a lot of fun and so I'm sharing with you a small sample of favorites. Some stay pretty true to the original, like Monster Magnet's version of Grand Funk Railroad's "Sin's A Good Man's Brother". Others like "Shaking", a Cows cover of "Shakin' All Over" by Johnny Kidd and the Pirates, take things in a whole new direction. For example, the original does not start with the line, "Girl you know I love it when you make my asshole bleed." Who knew?<br /><br />I have tons more I wanted to post, but I whittled it down to these six. This will most likely be the first in a series, so if you have any suggestions feel free to speak up in the comments section. <br /><br />TL;DL Vol. 3 Coverin' Yr Tracks<br /><br /><img src="http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee382/stoffzeug/TLDL/NewKaraoke.jpg"/><br /><br />01 - DUSTdevils - Hip Priest<br />02 - The Jesus Lizard - Wheelchair Epidemic<br />03 - Cows - Shaking<br />04 - Monster Magnet - Sin's A Good Man's Brother<br />05 - Come - Loin Of The Surf<br />06 - Dwarves - Life Of Crime<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?794h46st1dk85w4">Download Coverin' Yr Tracks</a><br /><br />Track 1 from <span style="font-style:italic;"><a href="http://youngmosstongue.blogspot.com/2010/08/dustdevils-struggling-electric-and.html">Struggling Electric & Chemical</a></span> by DUSTdevils<br />Track 2 from <span style="font-style:italic;">Bang</span> by The Jesus Lizard<br />Track 3 from <span style="font-style:italic;">Daddy Has A Tail</span> by Cows<br />Track 4 from <span style="font-style:italic;">Spine Of God</span> by Monster Magnet<br />Track 5 from <span style="font-style:italic;">Wrong Side</span> by Come<br />Track 6 from <span style="font-style:italic;">He Put The Bomp!

I also explored this when cursing someone out at the grocery store recently. Because the outside world can be such a nightmare, I often listen to music that helps me zone out while wandering around. Repeating, "calm blue ocean, calm blue ocean," over and over again wasn't helping and it was drawing unwanted attention. <br /><br />So, dear reader, I present you with TL;DL Vol 2: Drone Therapy. Thirty-odd minutes of hypnotizing sounds to keep your mind occupied while the universe keeps expanding and irritating.<br /><br /><img src="http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/3950/sensorydeprivation75per.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br /><br />01 - dustdevil & crow - kamchatka<br />02 - Grails - PTSD<br />03 - Atlantic Drone - For Arizona<br />04 - An Emerald City - Moon<br />05 - Tarentel - Where Time Forgot<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?w8zs25f3hy13mq5">Download Drone Therapy</a><br /><br />dustdevil & crow is a project by Bendle (The Window and The Door) and Michael Duane (DUSTdevils).

Oil spills, pointless wars, Europeans coming here and riding bicycles on the sidewalk when the law clearly states you must ride in the street...I could go on for ages! The point is, when I get angry, sometimes it helps to listen to music by people who sound even angrier. So I present to you, dear readers, the very first Too Long;Didn't Listen mini mix: Can I Scream? Tension relief in under 20 minutes without any goddamn Buddhist chanting or chimes. Suck on that, Beastie Boys!<br /><br /><img src="http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/2941/screamhalf.jpg" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us"/><br /><br />01 - Alec Empire - Everything Starts With A Fuck (Part 1)<br />02 - Alec Empire - Everything Starts With A Fuck (Part 2)<br />03 - Cutting Pink With Knives - St Lazare<br />04 - Refused - New Noise<br />05 - Queen Adreena - A Bed of Roses<br />06 - Laughing Hyenas - Everything I Want<br />07 - Queens Of The Stone Age - You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar But I Feel Like A Millionaire<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?jv9lnpmolpwck76">Download Can I Scream?</a><br /><br />The image above was taken from Health's video to "We Are Water", directed by Eric Wareheim and, as you can probably guess, some seriously bad stuff is going down.

It's a hectic world out there and you don't always have time to find music for the soundtrack of your life. Sure, there are tons of places to read about and download music, but did you know that some albums can run 40 minutes or longer? Longer than 40 minutes? Who has that kind of time? You're a busy person always on the go. You have cyberstalking and twittering to do and frappuccinos to drink. That's why we're here.<br /><br />We here at Too Long; Didn't Listen understand your needs and will do everything we can to give you maximum variety in as short a time as possible. ADHD isn't a condition. It's a way of life.mercurochromehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03389087488621591335noreply@blogger.com0
