catchermiscount Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Papa Bear needs your help! I will be in the office for most of the day today working on this and that, and I am in need of a super badass playlist to get me through. Thus far, I've rocked some Clifford Brown, some Ben Folds, some Stravinsky, some Decemberists, and some Ornette Coleman. Reply with a band and an album or two. Make Papa Bear's workday as A W E S O M E as possible! Best, coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plisar Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Why am I calling you papa bear exactly? I'm slightly disturbed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormegil Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 How about some good ol' alt.rock? I'm listening to Barenaked Ladies. 'Stunt' is a great album by them if you ask me. The album 'Beautiful Freak' by Eels (or E/Mr. E as he's known) is supercool. Also, any album by Travis, the Scottish alt.rockers. Thier new album 'Ode to J. Smith' rocks. What's with the papa bear thing though? :?: btw, Ben Folds is really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruBru Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Given that we are in the midst of the admissions process, how about some relaxing instrumental rock? You should check out... 1. Explosions in the Sky: "The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place." 2. The American Dollar: "The Technicolour Sleep." 3. The Six Parts Seven: "Everywhere and Right Here." Also, if instrumental music is not your thing, you should have a listen to Andrew Bird, Pedro the Lion, and Sufjan Stevens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckige Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Check this new album: http://www.warchild.org.uk/heroes/ It is good. I mean, TV on the Radio covering Bowie, and other great cover acts (all asked by the original performer). Can't be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swr22 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Beirut, The National, Modest Mouse, Matisyahu, The New Pornographers, The Smiths, The Cure, The Clash. That should keep you going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPoliSciPhD Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Iron and Wine (to help chill out) and the Beatles should go on this list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catchermiscount Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 Peepz, I thank you for your laudable contributions to the Papa Beard Rocks Out February 25 playlist. I assure you, each and every one of your suggestions found its way to my playlist, if only for 15 brutal seconds (you know who you are!). I was so super productive and so super happy yesterday that I have little choice but to play it all again today. Woot woot, hells yeah, etc. Best, Steve the Pirate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plisar Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 How about some Brits? Radiohead (I think The Bends would be perfect for a day like today), Coldplay, U2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackassjim Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Sorry I'm so late coach, I hope you can include some of these in future playlists! Edit: Oh, and you mention Clifford Brown in your original post. Arturo Sandoval, trumpet player from Irakere, has recorded a beautiful album to the memory of brown. He actually overdubs some of Brown's song. While that may sound cheesy, it actually works and it is quite nice. You need to relax: Ted Hawkins - The Kershaw Sessions Alvin Youngblood Hart - Big Mama's Door Baden Powell - O Som Baden Powell Cat Power - Jukebox Harry Manx - Dog my Cat Kelly Joe Phelps - Lead me on, or the album with a blue cover (can't remember title right now). Marc Ribot - Works of Frantz Casseus Mississippi John Hurt - Any compilation of the 1920s recordings, the 1960s ones are ok too, but not as good. You need a boost: Irakere - Irakere 22-20s - 22-20s Fela Kuti - Expensive Shit James Mathus and His Knowckdown Society - Stop and Let the Devil Ride Judas Priest - British Steel (Rooooooob!) You need an in-between: Pentangle - Pentangle Dave van Ronk - All albums Elton John - Tumbleweed Connection Bo Carter - Banana in your fruit basket Ry Cooder - Many good albums in the 70s (e.g. Boomer's Story, Into the Purple Valley, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oscarwildebeest Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I'll raise you Unknown Pleasures and Raw Power Ian Curtis freaks me out a little.... mostly in a good way, but I think I need more coffee before I'm ready for that. Bernard Sumner, on the other hand, is completely adorable. "I'm not the kind who likes to tell yoooooooou *voice cracks* / Just what I want to do / And you're not the kind who needs to tell me / about the birds and the bees"! On the other hand, I could totally get down with some "Search and Destroy" right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
