Lost Mixtapes
США
Добавлен 27 июн 2022
I'm a music junkie. Always have been. I bought a few vinyl records by the time I was 12, but it was cassettes and later CDs that became my dominant forms of music. Then downloads, then streaming. But now I'm back to where it all started, vinyl records.
So I'm proud to be part of the ever-expanding vinyl community on RUclips.
I love to talk about music. I also love to talk about creativity. My career started in the music industry. I worked for Caroline Records in the 90's and then moved into a music licensing role at ASCAP. Later I moved into the creative side of advertising and work as a freelance copywriter and creative director.
I'm also a songwriter. Just haven't found a way to get paid for that yet.
For years I thought all of my random knowledge about music was pretty useless, but I'm putting it to work here. I enjoy telling stories about the music, it's creation, and it's impact on me. It's ever evolving, and I'm glad you're here.
Enjoy.

Come on Let's Rock and Roll with The Ramones
I've been on a huge Ramones kick. I first got turned on to them in the late 80's and was fortunate enough to see them live once. Looking back I see them as much more than just a killer band that started punk-as if that's no small feat. Now I see them as great pop songwriters. Please share your thoughts about this amazing American rock and roll band.

Done with Aerosmith?
Просмотров 16621 день назад
Is Aerosmith over? Does it matter? When is enough enough with bands? I like a lot of Aerosmith's music, especially tthe two back to back albums in the mid-70's, Toys in the Attic and Rocks. And I have some good memories of listening to their albums and seeing them live. But do we need more Aerosmith in 2024? #vc #aerosmith #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #classicrock #vinyladdiction
Top Ten Nerdiest Nerds In Music

The nerds won a long time ago. The whole world revolves around what the nerds created. And maybe we shouldn't use that term. I haven't used it in years until it came time to do this video. But there were certainly some nerdy bands and solo artists out there. So let's count them down. #vc #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #onmyturntable #vinylspin #vinylrecords #nerds
3 Rando Records

This is where I pick three random records. Or maybe 3 not so random records. But I do pick three records. Then I talk about these records. Today I have one from the 70's, one from the 80s, and one from the 90's. An American rock band, a UK alternative band, and one of today's best female singer songwriters. #vc #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #vinyljunkies
Danny Whitten + Crazy Horse
Просмотров 799Месяц назад
I'm loving this new Archives release from Neil Young. It features studio recordings of the original lineup of Crazy Horse, most of which have never been heard and could have been the basis for a full blown Crazy Horse follow up to Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere. This album celebrates Danny Whitten. He's up in the mix, proving what a vital part of Crazy Horse he was and echoing how sad his lost...

Adrianne Lenker + Memory Tickets #4

I saw Adrianne Lenker of Big Thief play a solo show last night, although the second half of the show she was accompanied by a violin player and a piano player.

R E M Songwriters Hall Of Fame

The internet has been buzzing with news about R.E.M. this week. For me it started with a group interview on CBS Mornings, then a Stipe interview by Janeane Garofalo, followed by clips of the full band with Bill Berry playing Losing My Religion at the Songwriter's Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and wrapping up with a long interview with Mike Mills on Rick Beato's channel.

It feels like it's been a bit. I burned myself out by doing 20 videos over the course of 20 days. Today I'm thinking about sun. Nice weather. You know why? It's actually nice in Seattle. The sun is out. It's warm. And the extended forecast makes it seem like this kind of weather could finally stick this time. So I'm picking records that sound good on nice, hot days. #vc #vinyligclub #myvinylcol...

First Record That Started My Collection
my top 3, in that order!!
Thanks for checking it out.
Holy shit! Amazing!!!!
Another great video. My entry point was Pleasant Dreams which weirdly was kind of vilified which I always found confusing. Totally agree on RamonesMania. End to end that is mind blowingly impressive. It’s a rich catalogue. I think The Archivist nailed it with the optics and imagery of the band which acted as both a propellant and deterrent in my opinion. I also think the brilliant simplicity of the band made some miss the point. My hard rock buddies would say “that music is awful” In any event I love your enthusiasm for a deep catalogue dive. 1-2-3-4 indeed!
Thanks. Yeah, there weren't any virtuoso instrumentalists in the band, but you could say they were songwriting virtuosos in some sense.
I understand the disdain for the word “collector”. To me it sounds like the “collection” is more important than the music. Love the John Prine song, Summer’s End. Very moving. I still haven’t been able to truly get into his music. Someone I know I should like more than I have until now. A work in progress for me.
Talking about their crazy lyrics, apparently they had trouble registering their lyrics to I Don’t Wanna Walk Around With You. I don't wanna walk around with you I don't wanna walk around with you I don't wanna walk around with you So why you wanna walk around with me? I don't wanna walk around with you I don't wanna walk around with you I heard that they were initially told that they couldn’t claim publishing rights to 2 lines of lyrics. Not sure if that’s true but it always makes me smile.
@@fitzelectricbar9268 That’s hilarious. On my Ramones kick I was getting that song confused with I Want You Around to become something like “I want you around/so why don’t you wanna be around me/oh oh oh.”
Great video. Always wonderful to re-visit The Ramones. I remember one journalist “back in the day” reviewing one of their albums and he said that on another planet this record represented yet another “smash” hit and yet another record full of more top 10 singles. That really resonated with me. If ever a band deserved to have a string of chart-topping singles it was the Ramones. The Archivist was right…they didn’t look the part. But for those of us in the know, they had one of the biggest strings of singles with a bullet. I think I’m long overdue to crack open my Ramones records once again. Gabba Gabba Hey!
Growing up, I would see older kids wearing Ramones T-shirts, and I initially assumed they were this really aggressive punk band. And then I listened to "Ramones Mania", and I was like, "These guys are a pop band at their core". Certainly, they played loud and fast, and the lyrics could be considered juvenile, but they had pop melodies and harmonies. I always really loved those rare-ish moments on those early albums when they slowed things down a bit and went into sweet ballad territory. One, it gave you a chance to catch your breath, but two, they were really, really good at those. Songs like 'Questioningly', 'Needles and Pins', and 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend'. There is a specific demo version of 'I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend' that goes right around 3:00 in length that is even better than the one on the album. Joey hangs on the word "Boyfriend" for an extra beat or so, and that subtle alteration just makes the song a little dreamier. ruclips.net/video/0U6oYjPqzJ0/видео.html
@@aronpolasek4506 I love those sweet songs Joey would come up with. Makes me sad that he didn’t seem to be too lucky in the romance department. Yeah, based on their image you’d think they’d sound a lot more aggressive and less melodic. I have friends who when their kids were little loved their songs…just so catchy and fun. Well, as long as you’re not playing the ones about doing acid or sniffing glue.
@@aronpolasek4506 “Swallow My Pride” one of those slower gems off Leave Home.
@@lostmixtapes carbona ok? 😬
@@fitzelectricbar9268 Thee Headcoatees do a fun cover of 'Swallow My Pride' on one of their albums. Not as good as the Ramones version, but still fun.
Just like Motorhead, The Ramones never put out a bad album, IMO.
I need to revisit Brain Drain. I don't remember it at all. My intro to the band was Mania, also. I actually liked their 90s records with CJ Ramone. Dee Dee still wrote, he was just didn't play with them any longer. He had that rap career to tend to.
@@Thedarkstuff I’m going to check out the ones I missed. Dee Dee’s rap career…hilarious. Brain Drain is good. Heavier record.
Weird coincidence, I just finished listening to End of the Century on vinyl a few minutes ago. I have all their studio albums plus their first live album It’s Alive (they kinda went a little nuts with the live cash-ins in their final days, Its Alive is really all the live Ramones you need). Of their studio albums, there are maybe 2 or 3 that aren’t worth much, all the rest are at the very least pretty good and those first four are all stone cold classics.
@@briangonigal3974 Yeah, I bought Loco Live back in the day and didn’t really care for it. I’d probably add End of the Century to their classic run. Crazy that you were just listening to it!
Hi,Funny but my favorite ... by far... is 92' '' mondo bizarro ''...at their melodic best...well recorded and produced (Ed Stasium)...not a bad track ...top to bottom on fire...5 stars for me.
@@stephanevillatte5970 I’ll give it another listen. I find a lot of records sound better when they no longer have to be the “new” record by an artist.
Your videos are incredible. You do a really good job.
@@RockHistoryMusic Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words.
Neil Young's father Scott was a very good sports writer in Canada.
Walk This Way changed my whole view of music. I was 10 when Raising Hell came out and it was the first rap album I really liked and most of that was Aerosmith opening that door. I also like how you threw that copy of Toys in the Attic. Don’t worry about bending a corner! No mention of Honkin’ On Bobo?
@@TheFraudiophile That record has seen some love before me. Plays beautifully though. Carpeted floor, if that matters.
Sooooo happy someone else agrees that Lifes Rich Pageant is awesome. Like you, I listen to albums time and again, one or another moves into another place, but LRP is always, always on top of the list. Also love Reckoning / Harborcoat!
I´m 54 more of metal and hard rock , what got me to Aerosmith was the music video Rag Dol since then I have all the albums
In retrospect, Done with Mirrors is a much better record than Permanent Vacation. The real difference is drugs. Aerosmith got sober between records. Made a difference. Outside songwriters, too. Pump was the end for me. But love all of them up to there. Even PV. I like Draw the Line! It’s kinda weird, but I always thought “Kings and Queens” was among their best.
I like "Kings and Queens" and love the song "Draw the Line." Maybe someday the whole record will click for me. They have to have had one of the best comebacks in history.
@@lostmixtapes listening to Draw the Line now. Really liking it!
Excellent video. I grew up in the 70s in Boston and it’s hard to describe the excitement of watching them explode and move to bigger forums. When Toys was released it was electric. Then Rock bested that. I always loved the quote that goes “The Stones and Zeppelin weren’t coming to your hometown every year. Aerosmith was”. Kinda gets to Peter Bucks quote. Sad ending for them but Father Time remains undefeated. You always post excellent and thoughtful content. Thanks for taking the time.
Thank you! That's such a great quote. I started this morning off with Rocks. Sounded so good. What a powerhouse record. "Nobody's Fault" blew me away again.
KOL is a good record by Dylan :)
Kraftwerk!
Phish is on the nerd list for sure.
Gentle Giant would be one I would include. I've been getting into prog rock recently and gave these guys a listen. Very talented, but they give off that LARPer vibe with their sound. Really geeky, but good.
Pulp ruclips.net/video/yuTMWgOduFM/видео.html
If I heard Zeppelin regularly played at an ice cream place in the 80's or 90's, I wouldn't never leave it!!!
@@jasoncampbell3955 I sure didn’t want to.
Great list! I would add Danny Elfman or Oingo Boingo (and their fans are very nerdy). I would add Yes... Pretty much any prog band would fit the bill. I think Barenaked Ladies is a bit on the nerdy side (the members of the band). Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, an obscure band (just look at the titles of their songs, very nerdy and pretentious). Animals as Leaders are nerdy. I think Sting is a bit nerdy as well! I can go on and on with examples... I'm a nerdy musician!
Is Mazzy your favorite jizz record ?
You missed Gentle Giant. Unbelievable musicians and definitely nerdy
@@johngrosso1938 I don’t know them. What’s a good album to start with?
@@lostmixtapes Freehand is probably their best commercial success. Really prog, all multi instrument players. Check the library before you commit actual money. I have 4 of their albums on BluRay 5.1. Happy listening
@@lostmixtapes They actually have an album entitled "Acquiring the Taste"... great album with one of the worst album covers ever. I should listen to them more but any of their pre 1978 albums is at least good to great. They can sound very folky, almost medieval at times for a prog band but they are very creative.
I am a weird and demented Englishman who openly adores Frank Zappa. I have never thought of Frank as being a nerd, however. To me he is a musical wizard. A long hairy psychedelic Harry Potter, with a guitar in place of a wand 🎸
@@ChilliCheezdog Oh shit…now I have to do the top ten wizards of rock and roll. 🪄🧙Great way to describe him.
@@lostmixtapes 😂😂😂 You've said it now. You have to do it. A popular band from my hometown (Birmingham England) in the 1970s were called 'Wizzard.' There's your opening 👍
2112, Master of Reality, Grand Funk Live, The White Album, Sergeant Peppers, Tres Hombres, Are You Experienced, Disraeli Gears, Sticky Fingers, Dark side of the moon. This list dates me.
I hate to say this because I was very close their dad There is the band AJR You may not know them because man are they nerds
@@jessem470 I don’t, but next time I’m looking for some nerds I will find them.
Odes to Ayn Rand. Yet another reason to dislike Rush.
I don't usually drop the F bomb in videos. But couldn't really avoid it there.
Yet she was usually right…😮
Super fun video Im not going to pick on Prog their have enough to deal with Dream-theater , Coheed and Cambria , jeez But its not just limited to US , how about Muse , yikes And not just modern days were tons of nerds in British Invasion Herman and the Hermits Freddy and the Dreamers Peter and Gordon And their us counterpart The Turtles The Vogues Loving spoonful , always came off as nerdy Girls can be nerds too Harp really ? : Joanna Newsom Enya : she has her own secret language ! Nerd Lisa Loeb or Jewel : who will save those poor nerdy souls And now to address my hero Frank Zappa there is nothing nerdy about the Inca Roads , Dental Floss or Eskimos or working with Orchestral and having instrumental albums with horns or synclavier I sure hope being that you are such a big fan that you are familiar with Genius in France : Weird Al’s songs about Zappa if not please listen it is hilarious My kids did go through a nerd phase and one time when going to Albuquerque they managed to memorize all the words and drive me and my wife crazy So from one YT nerd to another “ live long and prosper “
Oh wow, you mentioned so many good ones. And yeah, women are not immune from the nerdiness. I hadn't heard "Genius in France" before. He really nailed it. Totally sounds like what I think of when I think of Zappa. "I'm the biggest dork that was ever alive..." I guess Weird Al thinks he qualifies too.
Good list, overall. Ha ha ha. I love a bunch of the ones you mentioned. They Might Be Giants is always the first one I think of. They might be the kings of the nerdy bands. What's great about them though is they also have that quirky, almost self-deprecating, just short of full-on joking vibe about them which makes them fun. I think, especially when you consider the period that they came up, Kraftwerk should be considered. Also, for contemporary bands, what about the Decemberists? Some might even call them pretentious in their nerdiness. Steve Malkmus and Pavement are pretty nerdy. Radiohead is kind of nerdy in its artiness.
Oh The Decemberists for sure. Now being a little nerdy is kind of normal. Kraftwerk is a good one. I want to listen to They Might Be Giants again after doing this list.
@@lostmixtapes Just thought of another one: Jonathan Richman
@@VoiceofHarold1 Oh hell yeah. That should be on the list for sure.
A nerd espouses on nerdy bands/artist … lol
🤓
@@lostmixtapesat least own it !!
Regarding Rush: Those guys are great players and I do like some of their stuff here and there but I do believe that it is the nerdism that keeps be me from being a Rush fan boy. Between the over cooked lyrics and Geddy Lee's voice, it is just too much. Is there something wrong with me?
Nothing wrong with you. I'm the same way. They laugh at themselves in that documentary I mentioned, which made me appreciate them more. There was a clinical sterileness to their music that kept me from fully connecting with it. More of a curiosity for me.
Geddy Lee's voice is grating, but their musicianship is what won me over. It took awhile, but their '70s stuff is pretty good. I don't care for '80s keyboards, so those songs I avoid.
@@AntonXul They are amazing players. If they had a different vocalist though.......!!
Love the guy, but you can't get more nerdy than the great Joe Jackson. He would probably agree. Also, REM are pretty nerdy.
Oh yeah, he could qualify for sure.
Great picks in this video. I like all of those quite a bit. As far as albums for quick reviews...what about Nick Lowe's "The Impossible Bird"? That one came out in 1994, the same year as Johnny Cash's first "American Recordings" set, and both feature Lowe's 'The Beast In Me'. Very different listening experiences though. "The Impossible Bird" is one of my favorite albums of the 90s. Lowe's voice sounds amazing drenched in reverb.
@@aronpolasek4506 love that suggestion. I picked it up a few months ago and have been looking for an opportunity to talk about it. Thanks!
I just listened to In Color last night. I still listen to the first 3 CT albums on a semi regular basis. I saw them in 1998 in South Bend, Indiana. Wish I would have seen what you saw a year later
Hot take: Love and Rockets is better than Bauhaus. Haven’t really gotten into Angel Olsen. I think she had a track with Sharon Van Etten that I like. Cheap Trick never disappoints. Love In Color. Downed is incredible.
@@Thedarkstuff Agree that Love and Rockets is better. And yeah, Cheap Trick! One of these days they’ll play a club show again or even a casino and get away from the Rod Stewarts, Def Leppards and Journeys.
@@lostmixtapes I’d actually go to a Def Leppard/Cheap Trick show.
@@Thedarkstuff I would if I had a free ticket, but those big shows seldom do much for me.
Didn’t Wang Chung start in the 80s😆😵💫😜😇😎
In the 80s everybody had at least a night or two of Wang Chunging.
Im the same, im all about the "feels" i don't care about technical virtuosity or how fast someone can play or what vocal gymnastics they can do, most jazz to me just sounds the same, i could live with 10 jazz albums and id have the gist of the entire genre, i don't need 200 jazz albums that all offer the same feeling
@@crazyprayingmantis5596 Great way to put it.
The first solo Crazy Horse record is great! On Tonight's The Night, the gatefold photo is a picture of the band on stage. Under every player is his name, Danny Whitten's name is there under an empty spot on stage.
@@gregorylapointe4157 That’s a powerful image. I’m definitely digging the Crazy Horse album more after taking this deep dive.
Todd, Sorry for the response to an old video. Love your channel and most of your musical tastes mirror mine. Your Eric Clapton distaste I completely understand, with his crazy anti-vax stand and posing with the friggen Governor of Texas, Greg Abbot after a show that didn’t require vaccination verification. He was a real shit, not to mention his little known drunken rant in the 70’s where he was using racist epithets against immigrants. It spurred the e Rock against Racism movement in the UK by bands like the Clash and the English Beat. Robert Cray told him he would no longer be associated with. However, his stuff with the Yardbirds, especially John Mayall, is a Guitar aficionados dream that created the Clapton is God in London. If you haven’t head that LP, at least stream it, amazing guitar playing. Of course Cream is an essential 60’s band. The one Blind Faith LP is great, and his first solo LP, which he was backed with Delaney and Bonnie & Friends. I know you didn’t care for Layla, but man, again, it was with the core of Delaney $ Bonnie friends and of course, Duane Allman on guitar. I think I have to give him his due, his playing is fantastic up through that period. He’s turned into a strange guy since then. Everything after that is AOR crap. Anyway, love your channel, wanted to put my two cents in. Please listen to John Mayall featuring Eric Clapton, also known as the “Beno” cover. Best wishes Bruce
P.S. I completely ageee, except for a few tunes, The Dave Matthew’s band is just boring! Horrible story about dumping their sewage in Chicago…the Windy City won’t forget that crap! ( pun intended😂)
@@user-eb3ox1lx5q Thanks! I love comments on older videos too. Trying to keep these as evergreen as possible. Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve never really taken a deep dive into those Cream, Blind Faith, and other records you mention. It’s probably time to give them more of a chance. It’s the solo stuff I don’t like. Took me a while to get into JJ Cale because of the songs of his Clapton covered. Now I love the guy.
Just did my list as per now, having listened to your videos, thanks.. Will anger many I think but it's how I would rank today. 15 Collapse 14 Around 13 Accelerate 12 Adventures 11 Pageant (I know, sorry..) 10 Document (again, sorry..) 9 Reveal 8 Time 7 Reckoning 6 Monster 5 Up 4 Automatic 3 Murmur 2 Green 1 FABLES
@@ollieoleary Refreshing list. They’re one of those bands that really doesn’t have universal consensus on what should be in the top 5. So many good records. Mine change all the time. Cool seeing Up do high on your list. Fables too. That seemed to be everyone’s favorite when I first got into them. Thanks for watching my countdown.
@@lostmixtapes Ah thanks, I really enjoyed your countdown a lot. It's amazing how subjective music is of course, but especially with a band like R. E. M., as their canon is so eclectic. Yep Up is definitely one of my favourites, under-appreciated generally for sure, but a bit of a cult one among fans! I was delighted you highlighted The Wrong Child from Green by the way, what a stunningly evocative song. Always feels weird to rank LRP and Document lower down as of course I love them both and they are so many fans' favourites, but got to be honest..! Fables remains, for me, the most coherently strong set of all, filled with a dark but melodic atmosphere, and an intriguing sense of mystique. Thanks for your considered response to my comment. Best wishes..
I liked Before These Crowded Streets by Dave Matthew's band when it came out. Songs like The Stone and The Dreaming Tree are great, but I've since added 4 more albums by them and were left unimpressed. As for the others, I very much agree!
Read the Bible. Good God. What is wrong with you???
@@shannonbenson8921 Sorry, I’m busy re-reading Petal Pusher.
Wow, if there are more Danny Whitten demos out there, they really need to be released somehow. I only discovered who danny whitten was about a month ago and It hit me like a lightening bolt. He truly was an amazing artist and singer. Some of the harmonies he sings with neil are phenomenal too. ❤
@@anikfreedomchild Totally. They never hit me as hard as they have since hearing the new/old recordings.
@@lostmixtapes Early Daze is an hommage to Danny from Neil. I can feel the love he put in putting this album together.
Cowgirl was never the same without Danny.
Interesting. I knew something about the origins of "The Needle and the Damage Done," but didn't really know much about the specifics. I'd like to hear some of this stuff with Danny in the band.
@@Thedarkstuff Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, the new one, and Live At The Fillmore 1970 are all excellent.
This is a tragic and fascinating story RIP to all the tragic victims of the scourge of addiction There is nothing glamorous about it and i think Neil told it as it was He lost a great friend he just couldn’t save.
