#201 - Three for Thursday: New Edition | Classical A.I. | Oasis & The Brothers Feud
It’s “Three for Thursday” as Jay brings us three new releases to check out. First up, Jason Isbell released his ninth studio album, “Weathervanes,” this past week. It’s a calmer and more intimate sounding record than some of his previous and is getting great reviews from past critics. Next up we have a reordered & amended reissue titled "The Complete Dirty South" by The Drive-By Truckers. Comprised of songs from their 2004 album “The Dirty South,” but in a different track order and with some new songs added. Jay received his special edition vinyl prior to the actually release date, so we’re getting some early hot takes. Finally we give Bob Dylan’s latest (surprise) album "Shadow Kingdom" a listen. The album features re-recorded versions of past songs and there’s a movie too? Apparently there is, and apparently it’s awesome.
Songs:
Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit - "Death Wish"
Drive-by Truckers - "TVA"
Bob Dylan - "Watching the River Flow"
Nick came across a NY Times story about the adoption of A.I. technology within the classical music world. From classical singer Jen Wang’s performance Alvin Lucier’s “The Duke of York” accompanied by a digital rendition of her voice, to composer Robert Laidlow’s “Silicon,” which incorporates various technologies throughout the movements of the piece, to the music designed by George E. Lewis for the last four decades, the article presents a conservative genre exploring controversial aspects of music’s relationship to technology. There was plenty to discuss…
Song: Huntertones - “Stede”
Finally, Greg is excited to announce that because Manchester City completed the treble this past weekend, Liam Gallagher will have to make good on his tweets and reunite with brother Noel for an Oasis reunion. Then the bickering and taunts commenced and now they’re at each other’s throats again…freakin brothers. Nevertheless, we haven’t talked much about the band Oasis and decided now was the time!
Songs:
Oasis - “Supersonic (Live at Knebworth 1996)”
Oasis - “Champagne Supernova (alternate take)”
