| | Big Black Pig Pile Vinyl LP Record Big Black Discography of CDs
Recorded live at the Hammersmith Clarendon, London, England during the band's final tour in the summer of 1987.
Recorded live in London in 1987, during the last Big Black tour, PIG PILE opens in the band's typically charming manner with bassist Dave Riley announcing "This song is called 'Dingy Little Back Alley Of A Country'," before the band launches into a punishing 46-minute set. The concert includes material from the band's first EP, LUNGS, all the way up through 1987s SONGS ABOUT FUCKING. The band's confrontational live sound emphasizes crackling, extremely harsh guitar and very brittle drums. In true punk rock style, the treble has been turned up as far as possible.
"Cables"-about slaughterhouses-and "Jordan, Minnesota"-about a pedophilia scandal-both appear in radically sped-up versions. "Kerosene" is introduced as "a song Jerry Lee Lewis wrote before he killed one of his wives," and Steve Albini's vocals are nearly buried beneath heaped shards of guitar shrapnel in "Steelworker." While there is no substitute for actually living through the Big Black live experience, PIG PILE-both on record and in its video form-documents one of the relatively few instances in history when music was actually dangerous.
Recorded at the Hammersmith Clarendon, London, England in Summer 1987. Includes liner notes by Steve Albini.
Big Black: Steve Albini, Santiago Durango, Dave Riley, Roland.

Pig Pile album
 $12.29   
BY A THREAD is Gov't Mule's first studio album since HIGH & MIGHTY was issued in 2006. Since that time, bassist Andy Hess has been replaced by Jorgen Carlsson, though Hess appears on two tracks at the end of the album. Carlsson's playing style is much more aggressive than Hess', and is therefore closer - in spirit anyway - to Gov't Mule's original bassist, the late Allen Woody, though he possesses an adventurous sense of time and is harmonically more colorful than either Woody or Hess. Carlsson and drummer Matt Abst are a solid match, since Abst is a drummer used to shifting time signatures and allowing the unexpected in while still driving a band. The band's keyboardist and rhythm guitarist, Danny Louis, is a shape-shifter, playing to whatever is needed in a given track. His manner of coloring sounds inside and around a particular tune's framework is a large part of what makes Gov't Mule's sound so fresh here - despite the fact that they don't stray far from what they do best. Warren Haynes and his guitar are, as usual, front and center, his guitar screaming, his big throaty growl hammering down lyrics like a Southern fire-and-brimstone preacher with earthshaking soul. The material on this set is tight; there is less jamming but Gordie Johnson's production and mixing equalize everything at ten, making it feel like the disc is recorded live.
The set opens with the ...

| | Michael Buble Call Me Irresponsible CD (2007)
Pig Pile songs
$10.09  
Michael Buble ranks among the best of the contemporary crooners working in a classic pop-vocal style, and his 2007 album, CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, further refines his suave, smooth style. With its finger-snapping big band arrangements, the album has its share of homage to Frank and Dino, both obvious cornerstones of Buble's music. But this isn't merely a retro exercise; the tunes, the production, and the overall feel are decidedly contemporary.
Stylistically adventurous versions of songs by Eric Clapton, Leonard Cohen, and Willie Nelson keep things lively, while "Everything," a Buble original, is one of the album's highlights. Still, cuts like the lead-off track ("The Best Is Yet to Come") and the old chestnut "I've Got the World on a String" will give listeners looking for some elegant, back-in-the-day pizzazz exactly that.
