Note: Another pretty blah week. But do not fret, next week promises to deliver the best group we've had in awhile and the best group we'll probably get out of the "Ds."
In Red’s Collection
I thought I might break this string this week. Oh, well.
Red’s Shameless Plug
The Dandy Warhols Come Down (1997) by The Dandy Warhols
I am going to plug this album even though I’ve never heard it. I love the Warhols later album “13 Tales of Urban Bohemia” which somehow is left out to this book. Listen to this band, it’s 60s meets 90s. “Come down” is the Warhols second album. I haven’t ever checked out their earlier stuff.
No Doubt About It
Crosby, Stills and Nash (1969) by Crosby, Stills and Nash
One song an album does not make a great album – Suite: Judy Blue Eyes – nearly disproves that theory. I don’t know much else from this album, but it sparked a decade of music from this group that later incorporated Neil Young.
Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) by Bruce Springsteen
All of Springsteen’s albums seemed to be title at the beginning of the alphabet too. This is the long awaited follow up to Born to Run. It’s a dark commentary on small town life. I don’t have this album, but probably should give a listen at some point
Not Sure Where This Goes
Damaged (1981) by Black Flag
Everyone likes to talk about Black Flag as an important band. If I’ve heard any of their stuff, I don’t remember it. Henry Rollins is a pretty crazy guy, so I would bet that this is pretty intense stuff.
Remember That One Time
Cyprus Hill (1991) by Cyprus Hill
The stuff that I’ve heard from Cyrpus Hill is funky and usually quite humorous. They were a staple of the early 90s hip hop scene.
Dare (1981) by The Human League
This album was playing in the apartment where Lester Bangs (music journalist) was found dead. I am not saying anything, but listen at your own risk. Everyone knows “Don’t You Want Me Baby,” if for no other reason that’s its been in Cookie commercials lately.
Best band name of the week
Crocodiles (1980) by Echo and the Bunnymen
This doesn’t even sound too bad. Echo was what they named the drum machine they used before they actually started using a drummer.
The Best of the Rest
Crossing the Red Sea With The Adverts (1978) by the Adverts
This was a punk band that missed the first big wave of English punk. Thus, they were sort of overlooked at their time. Looking back, this as good as the other punk that came before them.
The Rest
Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994) by Pavement
It seems like I should know this band, but I haven’t recognized any of the songs. It’s pretty standard Indy Rock from the Mid 90s.
Cupid and the Psyche 85 (1985) by Scritti Politti
Very weird 80s dancing music. I’ll pass.
Cut (1979) by The Slits
Girl punk band that cut its teeth by touring with the Sex Pistols.
Da Capo (1967) by Love
The Doors opened for this band. Sounds like the album’s songs are either kind of cool or really bad.
Dance Mania, Vol. 1 (1958) by Tito Puente and His Orchestra
Puente is the king of Mamba. This the album that introduced to the entire world. He also made an appearance on the Simpsons.
Darkdancer (1999) by Les Rythmes Digitales
They call this Europop. Hah.
Darklands (1987) by The Jesus and Mary Chain
Well, they tell me this group saved 80s rock ‘n roll. OK then.

On the Crosby, Stills & Nash, Marrakesh Express is a song you should know, too. I used to think it was a Simon & Garfunkel song, because it kinda has that sound to it. Tube it and you will remember.
