What I've Been Digging Lately

[The Ashtray Girl]

The Afghan Whigs are so underrated.

And coming from a ringleader of the Ween Posse, that's saying something.

I'm really enjoying the Ordinary Boys at the moment, plus a load of cheesy Christmas songs, including Wham!.

[moderaterock222]

I'm getting into trance at the moment. It's strange, but it seems to really appeal to me. I just bought 'Trance nation' and 'trance classics 2004'. So that's like 4 cd's worth of music. Weird.

[Plainlazy]

Has anyone heard the first Howards Alias album, I think it's called 'The Chameleon Script'. One of my friends was tellin me about it the other day, and iv heard two songs which were pretty good but i cant find it to buy anywhere. May have to resort to making a copy of a copy of a copy of it.

[Luxor]

"Pedro The Lion" is my new favourite band.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Morphine
Genesis

[Tapeworm]

Lambchop
Hope Of The States

[Happymeal]

Air - Planet Vega. I think should get more Air in my life.

[Zappa]

Nick Cave
Misson of Burma
Iggy & The Stooges
Q-Bert
The Beatles
Fried Chinese Donalds
Dr. Octagon

[biografiend]

Her Space Holiday as of late. very nice Shins-esque maybe? nice stuff though.

[Tangy zizzle]

Relatively poor and you buy 3-5 albums a week??


edit: to Tangy

I have an addiction...

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm listening to a lot of random stuff at the moment. Hope of the States, Johnny Cash, Can, The Bronx, Blues Explosion, Afghan Whigs, and Bloc Party.

[Little Man being Erased]

Air - Planet Vega. I think should get more Air in my life.
Just get 10000 Hz Legend. Amazing record.

[Tapeworm]

The Bronx have been kicking my arse today too.

[OrbDragon]

Aesop Rock - Labor Days
Living Colour - Time's Up
Television - Marquee Moon
Beck - Mutations
Asian Dub Foundation - Enemy Of The Enemy
Bob Log III - Trike
DJ Shadow - The Private Press

[Iai]

Asian Dub Foundation - Enemy Of The Enemy
Excellent stuff.

[Tangy zizzle]

The (International) Noise Conspiracy - Survival Sickness
De La Soul - Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump
Can - Ege Bamyasi

I've been listening to David Bowie's Low over the fast few days. That is a really overlooked album. It's great. It's like his attempt at kraut-rock.

[biografiend]

Can - Ege Bamyasi



One of my friends mentioned that Ege Bamyasi was alot better than Tago Mago, which is the only Can CD ive fully listened to. Is it worth my money, or should i invest in a different Can album?

[YDload]

Kyuss- "Allen's Wrench" and "Apothecaries' Weight."

I think I'm getting Blues for the Red Sun for Christmas. This band is awesome.

[Tangy zizzle]

Tago Mago is 5/5
Ege Bamyasi is 4.999999/5

'nuff said.

[asymm]

I've been listening to a Christmas mix I recently put together...

[manuscriptreplica]

I think I'm getting Blues for the Red Sun for Christmas. This band is awesome.

You do that

I like Mithras lately

[OrbDragon]

I forgot Hermano's "Dare I Say"....fans of Afghan Wigs and Kyuss must check this band.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm digging a lot of Blur today.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Masterdon
Galactic Cowboys
Polyphonic Spree

[chapelhoffer]

Check out Mozay at www.purevolume.com/mozay/

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I'm digging a lot of Blur today.

very good girl.

[libertine2020]

I'm digging the Arcade Fire and The Stills as of right now. Both from Montreal and both very worthy of a listen.

[asymm]

I've been listening to a Christmas mix I recently put together...
Here's the tracklist:

1. The Raveonettes - "The Christmas Song"
2. Dismemberment Plan - "This Christmas"
3. U2 - "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"
4. The Beach Boys - "Frosty The Snowman"
5. Tom Petty - "Christmas All Over Again"
6. Eels - "Christmas Is Going To The Dogs"
7. Crash Test Dummies - "We Three Kings"
8. The Walkmen - "Christmas Party"
9. Yo La Tengo - "It's Christmas Time"
10. The Polyphonic Spree - "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"
11. The Flaming Lips - "A Change at Christmas"
12. Phantom Planet - "Carol of the Bells"
13. Low - "Just Like Christmas"
14. Death Cab for Cutie - "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"
15. Ron Sexsmith - "Maybe This Christmas"
16. Pedro the Lion - "I Heard the Bells On Christmas Day"
17. Ivy - "Christmas Time Is Here"
18. Coldplay - "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas"
19. Sufjan Stevens - "What Child Is This Anyway"

and in a complete change of pace... I've been listening to this local band, Yeti On A Budget. I judged a Battle of the Bands yesterday and this band was amazing, but the other judges didn't think so. They preferred the Good Charlotte pop-punk horseshit.

But you guys should check out their music: http://www.yetionabudget.com - Specifically "Kuba's Shanty"

[Iai2]

I forgot Hermano's "Dare I Say"....fans of Afghan Wigs and Kyuss must check this band.
So, me and Tangy, then?

[Iai2]

More a one-off project than a real band, Hermano remains most noteworthy for featuring vocalist John Garcia of Kyuss fame. Garcia, who was also recording with Unida around the same time as Hermano at the end of the '90s, gives the group much of its character, though it's also worth acknowledging that the remaining bandmembers are also established: bassist David Angstrom (Supafuzz, Black Cat Bone), drummer Steve Earle (Afghan Whigs), and guitarists Mike Callahan (Disengaged) and Dandy Brown (Orquesta del Desierto). The band's recording output, eight songs, took a few years to be released, when Tee Pee Records released the Only a Suggestion album in 2002.

oic.

[vallely2004]

oic.

I know this is way off topic but Iai, why did you get banned? :upset:

[Iai2]

For hating on Primus in what was judged to be a spam thread.

[vallely2004]

For hating on Primus in what was judged to be a spam thread.
grrr, dont worry we'll get Primus back for you

TO THE ALT. MOBILE! :evil:

[Luxor]

So far today I've listened to:

Elliott Smith - Either/Or
Pedro The Lion - Control
The Postal Service - Give Up
The Garden State Soundtrack

[Tangy zizzle]

I forgot Hermano's "Dare I Say"....fans of Afghan Wigs and Kyuss must check this band.

Yeah I got into Hermano through my Kyuss exploration. They're pretty badass, but they get tired. Kinda like Unida.

[Happymeal]

Damage is the balls. You da man, Tangsta.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Here's the tracklist:

10. The Polyphonic Spree - "Happy Christmas (War Is Over)"


Where's this song from? I have not heard of it previous to the moment in which I saw this listed in your mix of Christmas tracklist listing post which I saw moments ago.

[Tangy zizzle]

Damage is the balls. You da man, Tangsta.

I told ya'll

[NineBitFable]

Cursive
My Bloody Valentine
Foo Fighters

[Tomahawk]

Where's this song from? I have not heard of it previous to the moment in which I saw this listed in your mix of Christmas tracklist listing post which I saw moments ago.
It's on this album called "Maybe This Christmas Tree", it's got xmas songs by the Spree, Death Cab, and some others.

You can stream the entire album here: http://www.maybethisxmas.com/home.html

Yup, a nice portion of my list was lifted from that

[YDload]

There's an infomercial on now for "Classic Country Hits." I've become more and more interested in old-school country since playing San Andreas, and just listening to these samples in the commercial is great. Even though they all sound the same (except Johnny Cash), they're still pretty fun to listen to.

[Tomahawk]

That reminds me... on that country station on San Andreas, there's this song about gators in the swamp or somecrap, and it's awesome. Anybody know what that song is called?

[Ornery Cephalopod]

That reminds me... on that country station on San Andreas, there's this song about gators in the swamp or somecrap, and it's awesome. Anybody know what that song is called?

I think it was called "Amos Moses"... Maybe... I forgot who it was by.

But I agree, what little I've heard of that old school country (basically a bit of Johnny Cash plus the GTA station) is some pretty good stuff. I'd go over yonder to Soulseek and download some crap, but my soundcard died. :upset:

Anyone know any good albums that I could look into getting with the gift certificates I'm almost guaranteed to get for Christmas? Possibly compilations or best of albums, since I'm not that big into country and I probably won't buy very many CDs of it in the near future...

[Zmev]

Ive been listening to Too YOung by Phoenix all day long. Every couple minutes the opening effect pops in my head and i have to listen

[Sep]

The Fall Of Troy. There are oh so amazing.

[Interstate]

lately i've been listening to The Bronx, Black Label Society, Beastie Boys, Dntel and The Strokes to name a few.

[Happymeal]

The Fall Of Troy. There are oh so amazing.

tr00th. You have the demo? I can't seem to find it on slsk..

[NineBitFable]

I was looking for a place to download it for a while, but couldnt find one...
so I just bought it.

every song on it is just incredible. Especially Macaulay McCulkin and Ghostship pt.v

[Tomahawk]

I've been digging Damien Rice, finally. I've had his album for ages, but it never really clicked with me, but a couple of nights ago it went click. So uh, hooray. It's a really nice album.

Anyone know any good albums that I could look into getting with the gift certificates I'm almost guaranteed to get for Christmas? Possibly compilations or best of albums, since I'm not that big into country and I probably won't buy very many CDs of it in the near future...
You should definitely pick up some kind of Johnny Cash compilation. I've got a couple that are awesome, and they were both cheap as hell.

[Iai2]

Ive been listening to Too YOung by Phoenix all day long. Every couple minutes the opening effect pops in my head and i have to listen
Aren't they the band that did Run, Run, Run?

[The Ashtray Girl]

Damien Rice is awesome, welcome to the club.

Today I'm really enjoying The Streets.

[Luxor]

My girlfriend likes Damien Rice. He's not bad, once in a while.

[YDload]

That reminds me... on that country station on San Andreas, there's this song about gators in the swamp or somecrap, and it's awesome. Anybody know what that song is called?

It's "Amos Moses" by Jerry Reed. Primus did a cover of it for their Rhinoplasty EP. The original is still cool though.

[Tangy zizzle]

Compilation/Best Of's:

The Essential Johnny Cash
Take it Easy - The Sound of California Vol 1 (more country-rock, but its great)
Hank Williams - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
The Complete Hank Williams
Columbia Country Classics Vol 1 and Vol 3

Those are what I have, and they're great. I can also recommend you some single albums if you're interested.

[Wanker]

I just downloaded a bunch of Nick Drake and Damien Rice. I'll listen to them extensively over vacation.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Compilation/Best Of's:

The Essential Johnny Cash
Take it Easy - The Sound of California Vol 1 (more country-rock, but its great)
Hank Williams - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
The Complete Hank Williams

Those are what I have, and they're great. I can also recommend you some single albums if you're interested.

Thanks man (ditto to Tommyhawk for kinda helpin' back there). These will do for now, I have way too many other albums I need to get before I start getting into normal full albums of the country persuasion.

[YDload]

Primus: John the Fisherman. Thanks for that one, Zappa. It's a lot of fun.

[Plainlazy]

Does anyone know The Weakerthans? The song Plea from a cat named virtue is suprisingly good, considering its meanna be by a cat.

[milkandlaxatives]

i got a bikini kill album on vinyl yesterday, it's pretty good. just thought i'd share that with the class.

[Zappa]

Tchaikovsky's 4th symphony.

[OrbDragon]

Martina Topley-Bird - Quixotic
Elbow - Cast Of Thousands
Handsome Boy Modeling School - White People
Sugarcubes - Life's Too Good

[The Ashtray Girl]

Excellent stuff as always, Orb.

[Luxor]

Listening to "Relationship Of Command" for the first time in a while.

[asymm]

The Who - "The Who Sell Out"

[Scott Herren]

I like the new Phoenix album.

[YDload]

What could be romantic to Mike Watt?
He is only a skeleton
His body is a series of points
No height, length, or width


^That.

[Happymeal]

'Been enjoying Damage and finding out some weirdo crazy metal stuff to listen to.

[keep on phishin']

Minus the Bear
Shins
At the Drive-In
Tomahawk

[Reaganista]

omg i can't believe i went so long without listening to the pogues.

[vidsizler]

Hey fave bands right now I would have to say are The Tragically Hip, Broken Social Scene, Dave Matthews Band, Radiohead,The Strokes, Smashing Pumpkins, Moist and of course some more Tragically Hip. Just wondering if some people could put some tragically hip drum tabs up, especially Ahead by a Century, that would make my day. Also if there are any tragically hip threads I'd be happy to be directed to them
The illusions of someday casting a golden light

[Tangy zizzle]

The Barracudas, these guys are gold. Please, if you squares know of a better band, then please tell me. I am dying to know.

Been listening to some of my old Big Star records today. They really are a maturely-appreciated band. ( sense?)

[Reaganista]

maturely?

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah exactly. What I mean is: I've had these albums for like 3 years, I didn't really like them then, now I do.

I'm going to believe that I'm now more mature, although it's unlikely.

[br3ad_man]

Blink 182 and Delirious were nearly all I listened to for the last 2 weeks. Once or twice I listened to Sigur Ros, Moby, QOTSA and Nick Cave.

[Little Man being Erased]

Lately:

Kyuss - Blues For The Red Sun
Tracy Chapman - Self Titled
The Veils - The Runaway Found
Hey, someone else into The Veils. Great band, excellent album.

I recently got:
Kings of Leon - Aha, Shake, Heartbreak
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

So I've been diggin' those. Aha, Shake has blown me away. Excellent album.

[Tapeworm]

I just bought:

The Cure - The Head on the Door
Joy Division - Closer
Rob Dougan - Furious Angels
The Bronx - The Bronx

Does anybody else dig Rob D? The album is one of the best trip hop style albums I've ever heard.

[Tomahawk]

I like that song that he has that is in every movie trailer.

[Tapeworm]

Yeah, well he sings on most of the tracks on the album. It is so great, i'm gunna make a thread about him.

[Tomahawk]

So I've been diggin' those. Aha, Shake has blown me away. Excellent album.
Really?

Because I ****ing hate that Kings of Leon song they've been playing on JJJ lately. I dunno what it's called, it's the one that goes "aaaayteen... baaaaaawwwlding" and it frustrates me with it's lack of being good.

[Tapeworm]

Hah, it sounds funny, but it's a good lyric.

I also like it.

[Luxor]

Started listening to a lot of Sublime again lately... So good.

[sweboy]

Started listening to a lot of Sublime again lately... So good.
Prominent DJ's, comin' up for me,

'80s Post-Punk/New Wave (buying additional albums to quench my thirst tomorrow...)

Pere Ubu
Joy Division
The Cure
Echo & the Bunnymen

[Iai]

Rob Dougan - Furious Angels

Does anybody else dig Rob D? The album is one of the best trip hop style albums I've ever heard.
/gets

[Well_Respected_Man]

Me loves noise rock.

Faust
Can
This Heat

I wouldn't be surprised if I started talking about This Heat nonstop soon, I really really like them right now. They're better than Faust or Can easily.

[Iai]

:eek: Tangy's ears are burning.

I heavily dug Paul's Boutique today.

I mean.....Today I was mostly digging Paul's Boutique.

[Well_Respected_Man]

If Tangy starts **** with me about This Heat being better than Can, I smash his face in.

[Doctor D.]

Tangy....I thank you, for leading me on to these two men:

Nick Cave
Nick Drake.

Thank you.

[AK47]

Let it Be and Faded Seaside Glamour by The Delays

[Iai]

Right now I am mostly digging Mansun and McAlmont and Butler.

[Bartender]

Does anybody else dig Rob D? The album is one of the best trip hop style albums I've ever heard.

Toozey told me about Rob Dougan a while ago. I didn't check into him too far, but what I heard didn't sound to be too much like trip-hop, more just general ambient techno. Not bad though, and it's certainly not inconceivable that he switches styles. I like as not haven't heard anything from Furious Angels.

[RIPJoeStrummer]

I dig Frances The Mute today.

[Happymeal]

I'm liking Dysrhythmia and Frantic Bleep, along with Damage. So good.

[Zappa]

I listened to "Keasbey Nights" by Catch 22 today. I love how their improv sounds like a high school jazz band. It's so quaint.

I also really dug on "Bone Machine" by Tom Waits.

[el doctor]

Today I was listening to the reissue of Grant Green's "Alive!" Very enjoyable album.

[Zappa]

I'm getting into the Beatles again. It's amazing how as my musical knowledge increases, there's always something new to appreciate in their music.

[Tangy zizzle]

Hah, this is an unbiased opinion:

While a good band, This Heat are little more than nothing compared to Can. Oh yeah, they aren't noise either.

[Reaganista]

I heard somebody singing guantanamera the today. I am listening to peete seeger now.

[Tangy zizzle]

I hate Kings of Leon. Probably one of the only bands that get a reaction out of me. ( that I don't like)

[Bartender]

What's that in your avatar? I can't make it out.

[Tangy zizzle]

Monster Movie - The Can.

I think it's a limited version or someones just made it up.

[Tomahawk]

I've been listening to the Smiths and wallowing in self pity. Yeah!

Also been rockin some John Lennon and some Talking Heads.

[Reaganista]

dude! the wallflowers!

It's Bob Dylan's son, how bad* could it be?


*awesome.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

the wallflowers are good on their albums, but majorly boring live.

[Scott Herren]

The Dears - "Lost in the Plot" (ftp://anonymous:password@media.maplemusic.com/umbrella/mp3/thedears-lostintheplot.mp3)

[Plainlazy]

Fall Out Boy - Grand Theft Autumn / Where Is Your Boy

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm digging my MX Secret Santa mix-CD at the moment, which is totally awesome. It's got some Unicorns, Minus the Bear, Massive Attack, Decemberists, !!! and Xiu Xiu, plus so much more.

Great stuff.

I think the person who sent it may be a regular here, if they are then THAAAAANK YOOOOU!

[Iai]

MX Secret Santa?

Today I have been mostly digging Lauryn Hill and The Eagles.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Ja, Inside Me organised it at the end of last month in The Pit.

[OrbDragon]

I've been into Prefuse 73 recently....can't believe I've only gotten into this just now...great stuff.

Tom Waits' Rain Dogs is dominating now...once this album grows on me...it'll become one of my favorites...I'm convinced of it.

Oh, and St. Germain is cool easy listening music...very recommended.

[Distorted Vision]

I'm digging my MX Secret Santa mix-CD at the moment, which is totally awesome. It's got some Unicorns, Minus the Bear, Massive Attack, Decemberists, !!! and Xiu Xiu, plus so much more.

Great stuff.

I think the person who sent it may be a regular here, if they are then THAAAAANK YOOOOU!
Yeah, my CD is awesome too. Much more 'indie' than I usually listen to but it's really cool. Some stuff I already knew (Incubus, The Roots) plus some great bands I never knew of (Stroke 9, Eve 6, And Christopher O'Riley's Radiohead covers).

I have an idea of who sent it but I don't want to say right now. :)

[sweboy]

I've been diggin' some Black Uhuru, The Mars Volta and Agent Orange lately, among much other stuff.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Frank Sinatra- Strangers in the Night :cool:

My roommate's got good taste.

[Tapeworm]

Mazzy Star - So Tonight That I Might See

Brilliant, brilliant album.

Also, Psychocandy is finally gracing my ears.

[Tomahawk]

I've basically only listened to Talking Heads today. Such a loadblowingly good band. They might actually be on the way to being one of my favourite bands ever.

[asymm]

picked up a few...

Cocteau Twins - "Treasure"
XTC - "Skylarking"
Duran Duran - "Rio"
Roxy Music - "Country Life"

[Tomahawk]

Oh nice, Treasure is a great album. And of course, Duran Duran rule the world.

[asymm]

yeah, Treasure has been very nice to me so far. I can easily see myself picking up more Cocteau Twins during my Christmas break...

[OrbDragon]

picked up a few...

Cocteau Twins - "Treasure"
XTC - "Skylarking"


Great picks dude :)

[Luxor]

The Dears - "Lost in the Plot" (ftp://anonymous:password@media.maplemusic.com/umbrella/mp3/thedears-lostintheplot.mp3)
I like.

[Jellyspoon]

St. Germain, yes orbdragon, he is a legend.

It's been a while since I posted in Alt/Indie, but I heard a band that made me very excited, that is to say 'death from above 1979'. They're a bass/drums/vox duo from Canada, that play this squeltchy hyper-energetic funky punk/metal. The songs are full of good hooks. If you are interested, download 'Little Girl' to hear a song that makes a modest guy go bonkers in his bedroom, and I hope in an Indie disco very soon.

[Paranoidd]

Down and Portishead. I have recurring obsessions with these two bands.

[Happymeal]

I like.

That link was delicious.

I finally have enough money to buy Grace: Legacy Ed. yay. I'm liking Lazarus and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci

So much stuff to buy this Christmas.

*rubs hands vigorously*

[br3ad_man]

Blink 182. Go me.

[Happymeal]

br3ad!:) I heavily recommend This Providence to you, if you're in a pop-punky mood. I have an album of theirs, it's wonderful. Listen to 'em sometime.

[Luxor]

Someone who knows what type of music I like, recommend me a band please. I need some new ****.

Give me some song reccomendations please :)

I just picked up "The Essential Bob Dylan", some budget Best Of Frank Sinatra thing that will probably be more like a worst of but meh, it was 3 bucks and a copy of "Pet Sounds" as a christmas present. I'm going to get "Smile" as well and give that and "Pet Sounds" to my parents for christmas.

[Happymeal]

^They're on Purevolume

www.purevolume.com/thisprovidence

The 3 songs in there are great, I'll send you the album if you want:)

Sun Ra - The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra. Good introduction to his works and by that I mean it's completely anarchic and jarring.

[Happymeal]

just got Tricky's Maxinquaye. Very good so far. Grace: Legacy Edition tomorrow, thanks to my mad spending skills.


Anyone recommend me an Enon album?

I've only heard High Society, but it's good and seems to be generally regarded as their best.

[Tangy zizzle]

Enon are solid, but Brainiac were better.

Enon are so fun though.

[Tangy zizzle]

Hit up some Calexico today. I always love listening to these guys after not hearing them for like a month, it's so refreshing.

[Bartender]

I actually checked out Gang of Four a little today. It's looking like I'll be searching for my own copy of Entertainment! soon enough.

Sun Ra - The Heliocentric Worlds of Sun Ra. Good introduction to his works and by that I mean it's completely anarchic and jarring.

Haven't heard this, but I admire (more than I really enjoy) his work on Atlantis and Nuclear War. Perhaps I'll give it a listen.

i've also been listening to these arms are snakes latest album lately... and i have tangy to thank for introducing me to them.

that's what reminded me about this place... so i came back.

No worries wheelz, you're a fine man/woman/being. Oxeneers is really good isn't it!

[cedga]

i heard Johnny Cashs version of NIN's "Hurt" last night on Max's My top 11 (Tom and Neil Finn were on). That songs pretty emtoinal and very easy to play aswell.

I bought pearl jams "rearviewmirror" last week and have been replaying betterman, alive and even flow over and over again. ill get around to the rest of the songs next week

[Master Arkam Kannon]

They just came out with a 3 disc (2 CDs, 1 DVD) set of Mark Sandman stuff he did outside of his work with Morphine. It is hopefully ending up under my Christmas tree.

like i'm loving the lack of guitar and the really bluesy feeling their songs seem to represent. its really what ive been looking for during these cold winter nights. do you know what his stuff sounded like outside of morphine yet, cause his voice is wonderfully refreshing and unique.

[br3ad_man]

QOTSA, Blink 182 and Flaming Lips

[Bartender]

Good work.

Solid Gold is better though.

Maybe so, but all I've heard so far is from Entertainment!, so that's what I'll be looking for.

[Happymeal]

Pele are awesome.

He was in a band with Morphine's drummer in the 80s. Haven't heard them , but according to Nacho they're pretty good. Maybe I'll ask my old english teacher if he has any of their CDs, because he was the one that got me into Morphine in the first place.

As for newer Mark Sandman solo stuff, no I haven't heard it. I read that he would record a lot a lot a lot, and then only give the CDs to his group of friends. I believe some of those recordings are what is finally surfacing with this boxed set.

[Tomahawk]

I'm digging the Polyphonic Spree right now. I can't wait to see these dudes live, it'll be ****ing insane.

[bob the ripper apple.]

i dont like radiohead really, but i have been liking them more than usual. so i guess that counts.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

they were amazing. i had bad seats though but the energy in the room was astounding.

[robot]

hey, i'm new. i've been digging:

the flaming lips
sonic youth
the beatles
gang of four

[talk show host]

I saw a Damien Rice concert of some sort on tv last night. I'd never heard anything from him before and I was really impressed. I was quite surprised by the emotion and intensity even though people have talked about him on here forever.

[mainesnowrider]

Trans Am and Mastodon

Twinemen is the band he used to be (I do believe)... or maybe it was the other Morphine members. Good band anyhow.

Is that you gareth??

[kayakdrum310]

I've been listening to a lot of Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Mogwai, The Weakerthans, and Her Space Holiday.

[robot]

Is that you gareth??

no, i'm new. i've been lurking for like a month though.

[Tangy zizzle]

You from BDO forums?

[robot]

no.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i bought Yes today, so far its an instant hit, usually some albums take a few listens for me.

[Tangy zizzle]

Heh, I have that on Casette... it's pretty tired now, I thrash it in the car.

[indy_undy]

hey im new and i was wandering which pixies album would b the best to start with

[Iai]

Doolittle.

[Iai]

I'm digging the Polyphonic Spree right now. I can't wait to see these dudes live, it'll be ****ing insane.
Saw them at Leeds 2003 headlining the Radio 1 tent. Band of the weekend, definitely.

[The Ashtray Girl]

100th page... woah...

I'm listening to ridiculous amounts of Muse right now, in preparation for the concert tonight. :D

[Iai]

Ashtray, do me a favour please. Keep an eye out for the dumbest, most out-of-place t-shirt you can see. I have a running tally of these, including Nelly Furtado at Placebo, Napalm Death at InMe, and Bros at AC/DC.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Omg, you do that too?! Hours of entertainment, I always find...

[Iai]

Haha! What's your best one?

[The Ashtray Girl]

I've never seen anything deeply weird, only slightly odd things like The Strokes at Avenged Sevenfold and stuff. I just count all unrelated band t-shirts, as I think it's a bit odd.

[Iai]

I just remembered Iced Earth at Polyphonic Spree. I let that one slide, though, since it was a festival.

[Tomahawk]

I was wearing a Dandy Warhols t-shirt when I saw Metallica.

[Iai]

I'm pretty sure I've done some bad ones. I think I was wearing something really bad when I went to see Counting Crows. Tool, maybe? I used to love them back then before the fanboys ruined it for me.

[Well_Respected_Man]

[br3ad_man]

One of my friends saw a Joy Division shirt at a Limp Bizkit concert.

*wins*

:lol:

I saw a Killswitch Engage at Muse.

*loses*

[Zappa]

Magazine's pretty great.

I've had "Real Life," which I love, for a few weeks. Got "The Correct Use of Soap" yesterday, and I like it even better.

Thanks WRM.

[Zappa]

It's the truth.

[robot]

i demand that each and every one of you download the microphones' album, "the glow pt. 2" at this instant. it is amazing.

[Zappa]

I have it. I like it.

[Luxor]

I've had "Real Life," which I love, for a few weeks. Got "The Correct Use of Soap" yesterday, and I like it even better.

Thanks WRM.
He made me download "Real Life" off him a couple weeks ago. I only listened to it once, I need to give it a few more listens before I can give an opinion on them.

Today I've been listening to a lot of Coheed, Sunny Day Real Estate and Death Cab.

[Zappa]

Thanks for reminding me of this, by the way. Somehow I mange to forget how pretty this music is quite often.

[Zappa]

Looks like fun to me.

[Happymeal]

I'm enjoying Blue Screen Life by Pinback, I'll finish the review by tomorrow.

I haven't heard most of the bands on Nacho's list. I think I should listen to them.

[asymm]

Guided By ****ing Voices

I heard Bee Thousand and I didn't like it much at first. Then it grew on me and became my favorite album of all time. Then I heard six more of their albums and they became my favorite band of all time. If you like indie rock music at all, you need some of their stuff in your collection.

**** yes.

Currently digging today:

Love - Forever Changes
The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle
U2 - Joshua Tree

[LaLaLoveYou]

Currently spinning over here is:
_______________________________________

Surfer Rosa - The Pixies : Definitly either the best or one of the best albums ever made. I can listin to all the songs on this album over and over and over again. Went to see them in November, best experience of my life. Some songs to check out by the pixies : Bone Machine, Debaser, No. 13 Baby, La La Love you, and I bleed
_______________________________________

Uh Huh Her - PJ Harvey : This is definitly one of the biggest competitors for best album ever. The first day I bought this CD I listined to it about 20 times. I really love PJ, and this album was no hinderance to my love. Definitly check it out. Some songs by PJ to check out : Life And Death Of Mr.Badmouth, Yuri-G, Big exit, and It's You.

[Robert Crumb]

I'm eating Jell-o and listening to Harry Nilsson's Moonbeam Song on repeat.

[Tangy zizzle]

Big Star
The Stooges
Miles Davis' Jazz At The Plaza

[YDload]

Listened to Odelay last night before falling asleep in bed. It's still pretty cool, but there are certain moments of "anti-music" that make it really irritating to listen to. Like, some tracks start off with distorted screaming, or end with loud, obnoxious beeping. But I guess that's what makes it so great. :confused:

[Iai]

Odelay is pointless in a world that has Paul's Boutique.

[Tapeworm]

I've been digging The Cure, Lior, and these cheesey crackers.

[Tomahawk]

I just watched a documentary about Shane MacGowan, so I'm Pogue-ing it up right now.

[Tapeworm]

Tomahawk, do you dig Lior? He's on the j's quite an amount.

[Tomahawk]

If it's on JJJ a lot then I'm sure I've heard it, but that name isn't too familiar... what song is gettin airplay?

[Tapeworm]

"This Old Love". It is soft and strange and beauty filled. It has acoustic and cello.

[Tomahawk]

Oh that song! That's the "we'll grow old together" song, right? I like that song! I've been wanting to know who sings it. I thought it was a bit cheesy at first, but yeah it's really nice.

[Tapeworm]

www.lior.com.au is ze place to download that track and another song of his which is also very good. It definately grew on me too, and the strings came in and, well, i'm a sucker for strings.

[IAJP]

O.K,
recentley, I've been mostly listening to:


"Stop Making Sense" a live album by the talking heads,
highlights include: "Pshcyo Killer, Life During War Time,Slippery People"
I only just sort of realised what an amzing band the talking heads were, my dad allways used to listen to them, I used to get annoyed cause the music didn't sound good. But I borrowed a greatest hits off him about three months ago and it hasn't stopped spinning, it's a truly great album, and the live one is awesome too. David Byrne is a wayward genious.

"The Essential Bob Dylan-Bob Dylan" A greatest hits, spanning his whole great carreer, from "Blowin' in the wind" to "Things have changed" it's all gold, what else can be said about Bob Dylan other than "Legend". My favourite tracks are "Can you please crawl out your window?" "Subteranean Homesick Blues" "Rainy Day women #12 & 35" and finally the epic "Hurricane" a legend and a classic colelction.


"Radiohead-Pablo Honey" an interesting alternative album, what first attracted me is the obvious hit "Creep" but within this album there are some true gems, such as "You" "Anyone can play guitar" and the amazing "Vegetable", sure, you can call Radiohead deppressed middle age men, but i think this album is amazing, there are better Radiohead albums out there (The Bends, O.K computer etc.) but this is a great place to start.

[Bartender]

I just watched a documentary about Shane MacGowan, so I'm Pogue-ing it up right now.

Is that the If I Should Fall From Grace With God DVD, or something else entirely?

[Tomahawk]

It was called "If I Should Fall From Grace - The Shane MacGowan Story", but it wasn't a DVD, it was just on regular television.

It was basically just interviews with Shane and his family and band members and Nick Cave. Pretty interesting though, he's an amazing dude with an amazing liver.

[wheelz]

i've been listening to boards of canada a lot lately. everything by them. but mostly "music has the right to children," because, well, it's just amazing.

[6Stringer]

i've been listening to suicide machines, streetlight manifesto & catch 22. ska is definetly one of my favorite genres of music now.

[Bartender]

Ah, cool. I think it's available on DVD, which is good, because the chances of my seeing it on TV are miniscule :(

I'd recommend reading A Drink With Shane MacGowan, if you can, it's very good.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Odelay is pointless in a world that has Paul's Boutique.

in a world that compares the two albums there is no need for both, since people will make unneeded comments like that.

[Tangy zizzle]

I do a lot of smoking, and I kinda like music, so I amalgamated the 2.

Fun game, Guess what happened next?

[Well_Respected_Man]

You called the stereo a faggot.

[Tangy zizzle]

No.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Loozer.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

you pissed on the stereo.

[Tangy zizzle]

No. I listened to Exile On Main St. It just seemed appropriate.

[makeshift]

I've been listening to Elliott Smith, and The Shins quite a bit today.

[br3ad_man]

Hey, you're new and you used two "t's".

*gives rep*

[wheelz]

how does this reputation thing work, i'm so confused...

[Zappa]

The little squre with the check marke and the x in the left corner of every post allows you to either positively or negatively repute any member based on a particular post. Based on how much reputation you yourself have, the user "repped" will gain or lose different amounts on their total.

[Tangy zizzle]

Red Eyed Legends
Helmet

Also, Rolling Stones' Exile On Main St. has just finished playing for the 3rd time today. I think I've nearly grasped it's greatness.

[Iai]

Today I have been mostly listening to various things from this year, in preperation for a list of 2004's best album I'm going to make. Right now - Keane. Fun times.

[Tangy zizzle]

Keane are horrible.

[Zappa]

The New Pornographers!

I got this album (Mass Romantic) a few months ago, and never gave it a listen. Now that I have, I wish I would have earlier. Pure indie pop bliss.

Hate to say I told you so a huh!

[Iai]

*alright.

Next in my 2004 thingy listening - Madvillian.

[Zappa]

Hate to say I told you so a huh!

You told me about them?

[Well_Respected_Man]

You told me about them?
Yeah, remember I told you to get it off someone with a 130 download rate and the whole album only took like 10 minutes to download.

[Zappa]

Ok. I couldn't remember who it was who told me to do that.

[Luxor]

I'm listening to "Full Collapse" by Thursday right now.

[Zappa]

I got two tracks by Lydia Lunch. Her music is incredibly DREARY, but it left me wanting more. So here's to the search.

[Well_Respected_Man]

The Ugly Ducklings new album Taste the Secret is a huge guilty pleasure right now.

[Tangy zizzle]

Just bought Smile. It's good.

[br3ad_man]

^^^
I was going to get that yesterday for a christmas present for my mum. I actually couldn't find it at K-mart or Target. How wierd is that? They had like 10 million copies a month ago.

[Tangy zizzle]

Maybe it's just that hot right now?

[Happymeal]

Pele - Black Socks is a beautiful, beautiful song.

[Tangy zizzle]

You're worse/better than me at listening to new bands, dude.

[sink sink]

I've been listening to The One AM Radio lately. Pretty, soft indie pop. Reminds me of The Microphones.

[Zappa]

Booker Ervin. A top notch jazz saxophonist who doesn't get enough recognition.
