[Master Arkam Kannon]

*alright.

Next in my 2004 thingy listening - Madvillian.

yeah, keane is just drivel, but madvillian makes up for that. well played old chap.

[Iai]

Of the 12 albums I have listened to and listed so far, Keane are precisely 12th.

[Frobb]

Sikth are an awesome UK band. Crazy Multiple personality Vocals and Metalcore Riffs, backed by an amazing drummer leave me with no doubt as to this being my second favourite band of all time.

Songs to check out would be:
1. Hold My Finger
2. Such The Fool
3. Scent of the Obscene

Sikth. Sixth! Get it?!?!?!

[Iai]

Today have been mostly digging The Afghan Whigs, and Scissor Sisters. On the Whigs front, I was playing 1965, and I've changed my opinion of it. I thought it was their worst record before, by far, but now it's drawn level with Black Love. Scissor Sisters was for the 2004 review. I want so badly to hate them, but they're too damn catchy.

[theredwonder]

today i have been digging both Ben Folds and Ben Kweller, in an attempt to convince myself Ben Folds is better. i have almost done it, but i don't think his tunes are as catchy as the other Ben. so many Bens. I've barely been in all day, so i haven't had much chance to listen to music :smoke:

[TheHonkingClown]

King Tubby

[Bartender]

I've been listening a lil' bit of Ani DiFranco recently, and finally. To be specific though, right now I'm digging The Complete Black Books, which I bought earlier today.

just cause something isnt that cathy doesnt make it any less good. if you havent been convinced yet that Ben Folds is better download;

Selfless Cold and Composed
Philosophy
Song For the Dumped
Army
Kate

[br3ad_man]

Is Ben Folds' solo album any good? Rockin The Suburbs was a pretty good song but nothing amazing...

[enjoy_cai]

Team Sleep.

Merry Christmas everyone...

The rest of the album is nothing like that song. It's not a bad album, but I hardly ever listen to it.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Is Ben Folds' solo album any good? Rockin The Suburbs was a pretty good song but nothing amazing...

the album is great but nothing like the single. it has more emotional heartfelt songs about suicide, death and lost loves, with a clever outlook on them. its depressing without being overly dramatic. really worth a listen, but first download, annie waits, zak and sara, and carrying cathy.

[Happymeal]

After listening to "Side One Teaser", I'm so excited on Adrian Belew's album.

[slug4k]

can n e 1 recomend n e good bands 2 me i wanna expand the stuff i listen 2 :thumb:

oh... my... god... Can we please type out a few words next time? All this internet shorthand **** can become quite tiresome.

And for suggestions... considering the broadness of the Alt/Indie category it's hard to know where to start. So I'll just give you my top 15 of last year: http://www.asymm.net

[slug4k]

sorry about the writing I was in a rush to go and play my bass! because the neighbours get a bit stressy if i play 2 late! will you exept my appologie? < is that spelt right < is that? he he

[asymm]

Yeah... sure I'll accept your apology. So what music do you like so we can give constructive suggestions?

[viva_la_danny]

for some reson the new duran duran cd puts me in that mood...you know... :naughty:

[EightMilesHigh]

Right now, I've been digging Beck's music. The various instruments he uses create a fascinating sound, and I think he has some of the most original lyrics ever:lol:

Recommended songs:
Loser
Two Turntables And A Microphone
Devil's Haircut
Where It's At

[Zappa]

Two Turntables And A Microphone
Where It's At

There is no song titled "Two Turntables And a Microphone," that line is in the song "Where It's At."

:)

[Mr. Driftwood]

Today I have been listening to Weezer avidly, and I must say I am quite impressed with the "blue album".

[Luxor]

can n e 1 recomend n e good bands 2 me i wanna expand the stuff i listen 2 :thumb:
:lol:

Amazing.

[Clunge]

Ive been listening to a lot by a band called Amplifier recently. They're kinda like a moody, futuristic, metalish band who have just realeased their album. I would recommend giving them a listen, some songs are Motorhead, One Great Summer, Panzer and The Consultancy

[EightMilesHigh]

There is no song titled "Two Turntables And a Microphone," that line is in the song "Where It's At."

:)


Ah. A thousand thank yous.

[noslouch]

I've been digging Underoath, beloved, and Tripside. Go to my website to hear them.

http://noslouch.blogspot.com

[Luxor]

Today I've listened to:

Elliott Smith - XO
TV On The Radio - Young Liars
Exlposions In The Sky - How Strange, Innocence

... And a whole bunch of christmas music.

Both my mother and my grandma are obsessed. In the car my mom has a music station on that only plays christmas music, and my grandma always has a christmas CD playing in her room.

[Mozzletoffed]

Saosin-Seven Years ...


somebody help me

[RIPJoeStrummer]

Belle And Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress

[Happymeal]

My dad keeps playing that Christmas album with R2-D2 and C3PO in it the whole day.

[Tangy zizzle]

My haul for today:

Dimmer - I Believe You Are A Star
Charles Mingus - Alternate Takes
John Coltrane - Coltrane

And finally... Jeff Buckley's Grace. If this album sucks, then you guys will die.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

And finally... Jeff Buckley's Grace. If this album sucks, then you guys will die.

One of the albums the blokes here rave about that's actually worth raving about.

I got a portable CD player for Jesusmas, which means I can now listen to music without disturbing Daddy, so I went on an indie-pop listening spree.

Beulah, The Cardigans, Starlight Mints, The Unicorns, Pinback, Polyphonic Spree, Kayo Dot.

Yes, Kayo Dot is indie-pop.

[Tangy zizzle]

Edit: Yeah ok... you guys win this round.

[YDload]

Here's something interesting that happened: I was flipping through the channels in the area of 65-70 that I don't usually watch, when I noticed music videos being played on channel 69. That's the "Style" channel, which is like a whole channel of models walking up and down runways. Well, at this time there was something different going on, where a music video would be playing on one side of the screen as model footage was being shown on the other side.

It was pretty interesting: they showed videos from Mogwai, Kevin Shields, and all sorts of indie-rock-pop goodness.

[Tangy zizzle]

Cool.

Did you dig what you saw?

[Zappa]

Style channel is for phags, omg.

[YDload]

Yeah, I dug some of it. I rented the "Lost in Translation" DVD, so I already saw the video for Kevin Shields' "City Girl." Scarlett Johansson = Indie girl of the decade.

[clown_phobia]

Three albums I didn't think I'd like this much:


Led Zeppelin - Symbols (IV)
Various Artists - We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones
Metallica - Self Titled (Black Album)

[Tangy zizzle]

Haha, it's HIM.

[Tangy zizzle]

...this thread sucks.

NP: David Bowie - Be My Wife

[Tangy zizzle]

Nice list dawg, you goin to BDO?

[YDload]

I'm glad someone made a thread in here about Austin City Limits, because I stayed up till 3 AM to watch a re-showing of it. The Flaming Lips + The Shins = a good solid hour of music performing. Best songs were "Race For the Prize" and "Turn A Square" respectively. Thanks to the Internet for finding those song titles too.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yep I'm there for sure.

No way in hell I'd miss Dimmer.

+reppage.

[Luxor]

I bought a bunch of CD's yesterday from HMV, (Boxing day sale). I got really cheap albums by:

Weezer
MC5
Kyuss
Talking Heads
Neil Young

[Happymeal]

HMV, (Boxing day sale)

:eek:

[enjoy_cai]

Today me dig :

[br3ad_man]

Weezer
MC5
Kyuss
Talking Heads
Neil Young

All those are on sale round these parts too. I gotta pick up "Remain In Light" and "Harvest".

I would too, because it would only be 20 bucks, if it wasn't for the fact that I saw Revolver on vinyl for 18 bucks. That's like half the cd price :eek:

[AK47]

Minuteflag

[carbonated_H2O]

I've been listening to

The Postal Service
Sublime
and Jimmy Eat World

[Tangy zizzle]

Minuteflag

Minutemen and Black Flag?

[indy_undy]

Sonic Youth, The Pixies and The Walkmen. Whats a good Bright Eyes recording to start with?

[Tapeworm]

I'd get Fevers and Mirrors first, but it doesn't really matter. They are all really good (with the exception of A Collection of Songs which is kinda average).

I've been digging Kid A, which I just got. I had actually never heard it all before, just one or two songs. So yeah. It's great.

[Happymeal]

Blazing Arrow and Tales of the Inexpressible

[Tomahawk]

Ben Folds Five, Ryan Adams, De La Soul, Deltron 3030

is what I'm digging.

[Luxor]

Harvest wasn't on sale, I would have bought it if it was though. I got Freedom. (Remain In Light is the Talking Heads album I got)

[ballad__man]

Sigur Rós, Múm, Kaizers Orchestra, Spinvis, Stuurbaard Bakkebaard, Die Toten Hosen, The Paper Chase.

[limemachine]

I have FEAR OF MUSIC and '77 by the HEADS

I've been digging Elliott Smith and Built to Spill...and Karate.

oooooh Tapey likes Radiohead again :p

Harvest wasn't on sale, I would have bought it if it was though. I got Freedom. (Remain In Light is the Talking Heads album I got)

What a shame. 'Round here, Harvest can be all yours for a mere 9 dollars.

[slug4k]

Yeah... sure I'll accept your apology. So what music do you like so we can give constructive suggestions?
I like pretty much anything, but im more into heavy metal, but Ive recently started to like kasabian, killers and stuff liek that! And im alos very into rage against the machien and slipknot. Its just Ive never really listend to that much indie + alt rock so i was wondering what good bands there were! :thumb:

[Tapeworm]

Yes, yes. Words are the meal of the day around here.

I bought Fugazi's 13 Songs today but I haven't listened to it yet. The guy at the record store seemed really happy that someone was buying a Fugazi record.

[Tomahawk]

Been digging the Cure, and a bit of the Arcade Fire.

I'm also heavily digging that new Architecture in Hellsinki song, Do the Whirlwind. **** it's catchy. If anybody wants to hear it, it's streaming on their website, http://www.architectureinhelsinki.com/

[Tapeworm]

A chick I know's band supported them. They kick bunghole.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I LOVE THE FLAMING LIPS AND WANT ALL THEIR BABIES liek omg !!!1111oneoneeleven

/end fangirl

But seriously, Yoshimi is ruling my world right now, it's soooo good.

[Iai]

Ashtray hit 2,000. :cool:

[Bartender]

Checked out all the record stores and things in town today, with the intention of buying lots of things, but various things conspired to mean I only ended up with three new CDs.

Gang of Four - Solid Gold/Another Day, Another Dollar*
Kaada/Patton - Romances
The Blueprint - Phenomenology

*not sure what's going on here, one disc, but labelled as two separate albums (?), with separate tracklistings and things.

At the moment I'm listening to the Blueprint album, since I've been waiting for it for a while. The others will undoubtedly be dug later today, though.

[Tanglewood]

I'm quite liking Pantera's album Cowboy's from hell

[A Goonie]

Right now i've been into The Moving Units... got introduced to them by my friend, yup yup their really good. Some good songs are "Between Us & Them" & "Anyone"

Another band is The Blood Brothers.. a good song from them is "Love rhymes with hideous car wreak"

[Iai]

I'm quite liking Pantera's album Cowboy's from hell
That's the only really great album they've made. Certainly the only one worthy of all the hype their music is getting since Dimebag died.

[Zappa]

I got "Sandbox: The Music of Mark Sandman" in the mail today, so I'm digging that.

[Iai]

Today I have been mostly digging all the suggestions you lovely people made in my thread. Also, Bloc Party.

[NineBitFable]

I just went out and bought 4 cds w/ xmas money, so I'm in the process of listening to each one.
Husker Du- New Day Rising
Sonic Youth- Evol
My Bloody Valentine- Isnt Anything
Pixies- Surfer Rosa

[Happymeal]

I got Weezer's S/T for $5 yesterday.

[Iai]

Blue or Green?

[Happymeal]

Blue, I mean.

[Iai]

Good.

[izzy]

Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works

That's all I can list by him because that album (2 disc set) set me back by 24 bucks. It's worth it though, each CD's just about set to the limit, both clocking out around 80 minutes. Really good stuff, all mellow music.

I need some help finding new stuff. Right now I'm digging The Flaming Lips (all except their 80's stuff, I just can't get into it), Sigur Ros, Radiohead, and Beck. Any suggestions? I've been considering getting Agaetis Byrjun (and most likely will), not too interested in Beck's Stereopathic Soulmanure, so basically not interested in any suggestions for the bands that've been listed. I also listen to Modest Mouse, Bright Eyes, Weezer, Built to Spill, The White Stripes, and Pixies. I'm not interested in Muse, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, The Mars Volta, The Smiths, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, The Shins, or Death Cab for Cutie. Any suggestions?

P.S.- Please excuse the pickiness.

[Iai]

Try Mansun - Wide Open Space, or Legacy. If you like, try and get hold of the album Six.

And Haven - Till The End, and Say Something are awesome songs. However, I can't recommend an album since I only have one and I have yet to listen to it.

Of course, I'll recommend The Afghan Whigs too, but you probably already knew that. And if Odelay's your bag, get Paul's Boutique by the Beasties.

[Luxor]

I got Weezer's S/T for $5 yesterday.
$3.99 at HMV? :thumb:

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Since my soundcard is dead, and I now have a portable CD player to listen to music much more often, I've been stuck listening to albums I already own.

Especially Beulah, Mars Volta, Calexico, Pinback, Kayo Dot, Fant/o\mas, Masterdone...

It's been ages since I've discovered any new bands. :(

[The Ashtray Girl]

Today I love Beck.

[br3ad_man]

I'm trying to download "Revolver" off Soulseek because I got it on vinyl, which is badass, unless I want to listen to it away from home. It was my first vinyl. Not bad?

[Tomahawk]

I saw OK Computer on vinyl today. Fifty-two dollars.

I really don't get the whole "buying vinyl" thing.

[br3ad_man]

I don't really either. I just got "Revolver" because it has a badass cover and it was just a bit over half the price of the cd version.

[Iai]

I saw OK Computer on vinyl today. Fifty-two dollars.
That's ****ing ludicrous.

Unless you have some wierd currency and $52 is not that much. :-*

[Tomahawk]

It's $52 Australian, which is about $40 US. So yeah, it's insane.

[Little Man being Erased]

DJ Shadow still, and Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty, and Coheed and Cambria - IKSOSE:3

[pbass63]

im starting to like this band called Simian. Theyre funny looking.

[Tangy zizzle]

Saw a great show last night.

Pluto, Goodshirt & Goldenhorse > You guys.

[Doctor D.]

Minutemen and Black Flag?

It should be refered to as "BlackMen"

[the_zeppelin_volta]

Lately I'm into The Libertines
they are great and really original stuff

Some songs: (or at least my favorites)
I get Along
Don't look back into the sun
Can't Stand Me now
Boys in the band
The Boy looked at johnny
just got a couple of Fela Kuti albums, that Nigerian guy i think but he's music is amazing and the guitar work is kick ***...
listen to some of it if you can

also want to get into nirvana.... evne though i hae not liked them since i started playing 2 years ago

[Iai]

Lately I'm into The Libertines

also want to get into nirvana..
*shakes head*

[dkmaddog]

Wow, why did nobody ever tell me about Fischerspooner before?? Just began listening to them, and they are absolutely amazing. Are their any Fischerspooner fans here??

[ooba dooba]

Podgeway is my dig of choice.
I don't know what else I have been diggin lately because I do not dig often. And also how do i get those picoture doo dads??

[Happymeal]

I'm being amused by Soul Junk and Enon's High Society today.

[AK47]

It should be refered to as "BlackMen"

24 bucks!? jesus, i got mine used for 11$. His other stuff is far different, yet some is the same.

Look up:

Brainiac
Theivery Corporation
Massive Attack
DJ Shadow
Bjork
Enon

[br3ad_man]

The best thing about being home alone all day is you can blast death metal and no one complains. I've been pumping out:

Cryptopsy
Gorguts
Mithras
BTBAM
Mastodon

Fun! I've also been listening to Bowie, The Beatles, Frank Zappa and The Radio Dept. I'm about to listen to Dalek.

[milkandlaxatives]

i have been really into robert palmer today. in the retro mood, i guess

[Iai]

Wow, why did nobody ever tell me about Fischerspooner before?? Just began listening to them, and they are absolutely amazing. Are their any Fischerspooner fans here??
Hells yeah! Electroclash is great. And Tear Away was a fantastic single. I can't believe it didn't do better, especially in a country where Scissor Sisters would be huge not even 2 years later.

Trivia - Fischerspooner signed to Ministry of Sound for a reported $2,000,000. :eek:

[Luxor]

MC5 are awesome, I'm so glad I bought one of their CD's the other day.

[asymm]

I saw OK Computer on vinyl today. Fifty-two dollars.
I have OK Computer on vinyl... it was a gift but it only cost $25. Which isn't too bad considering it's a 2xLP and considered such a 'modern classic'.

Recently I've been into Christmas gifts...

Low - A Lifetime of Temporary Relief
The Standard - Wire Post to Wire
Fennesz - Venice

and some things I picked up...

My Bloody Valentine's Isn't Anything
Brian Eno's Ambient 1 & 2
The Delays - Faded Seaside Glamour
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense LP
The Psychedelic Furs - The Psychedelic Furs LP

[Master Arkam Kannon]

ive been all about;

Bowie (after seeing Life Aquatic)
The Kinks
Morphine
Bjork
Theivery Corporation

[Zappa]

By the way, MAK, the Mark Sandman boxed set is outstanding. You really ought to get it, if your'e digging on Morphine.

Iron & Wine - 9/22/02

Glassjaw - Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Silence

[YDload]

Soundgarden's "Superunknown" is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums ever. Even the sludgy, "grunge" tracks are still fun to listen to, thanks to Cornell's amazing voice and Thayil's considerable guitar skills.

[br3ad_man]

I'm really loving "Freak Out!" this morning. I'm also digging the Goo Goo Dolls and Cryptopsy.

[Tangy zizzle]

Quicksand's Slip.

[Doctor D.]

Right now I'm I'm giving my first listen to the newly purcahsed The Icarus Line's "Penance Soiree"

I hope you hit the nail on the head again Tangy.

[Happymeal]

The Jelly Jam. I wanna get Lykathea Aflame's Elvenefris sometime.

denali

yes:thumb:

[Doctor D.]

Ok, Tangy, you were absolutely correct.

[Tangy zizzle]

Good stuff innit?

[Bartender]

I just watched an old episode of Later With Jools Holland earlier tonight, and it had;

Elton John
Ray Montagna (unsure of spelling, and so can't Google to check)
Interpol
Keane
Bloc Party
Old Crow Medicine Show

All of whom, apart from Keane, were good. My first experiences with OCMS, Bloc Party and Interpol, and they were all pretty good, so I'm gonna be looking into checking them out in the near future, hopefully.

[br3ad_man]

Bloc Party are awesome.

[manuscriptreplica]

I like Vomitory lately

And for some alt + indie stuff, I bought the re-issue of Relationship of Command, now I have 2 copies :) And 1 extra track

[br3ad_man]

Bartender's review reminded me how awesome the William Shatner album is. I love it.

[Luxor]

Bartender's review reminded me how awesome the William Shatner album is. I love it.
One of my parents friends bought that for my mom for christmas. I've never heard it though.

[Happymeal]

The Blood Brothers' March on Electric Children

[Tangy zizzle]

I am going to compile a list of bands that I believe fit well together, and are better than you're band. If you don't know any of them, I command (omg NAZI!@$5$423) you to peep them... now.

Murder City Devils
Cursive
Pretty Girls Make Graves
The Dismemberment Plan
Pluto
These Arms Are Snakes

That looks nice.

[br3ad_man]

One of my parents friends bought that for my mom for christmas. I've never heard it though.

Hear it.

[Iai]

Pretty Girls Make Graves suck.

[Radio]

I've been heavily digging Interpol this evening, though Im not sure why in particular.

[Tangy zizzle]

Pretty Girls Make Graves suck.

No, the new Avril Lavigne album sucks.

[Happymeal]

I've never heard of Pluto before, so I'll check them out. PGMG <3

[Doctor D.]

Ok....today I spent 50 bucks on three Cd's. They were-

The Birthday Party - Prayers On Fire
John Zorn - Film Music XII
Secret Cheifs 3- Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws

And I'm currently listening to Mr.Bungle's Claifornia.

[Zappa]

Fugazi, believe it or not
Latyrx
Albert Ayler (look out for an Ayler review in the near future)

[OrbDragon]

Jaga Jazzist is my new fetish...it's just amazing stuff. Especially "Cinematic" and "Airborne". I found out about them when I was checking their collaboration with Motorpsycho...another amazing band.


Xiu Xiu (like the Unicorns, I've checked out another weird alt rock outfit...cool ****)
Shpongle (never heard anything quite like this....whoa)
The Beta Band (nice Gomez/Zero 7-sounding band...only with a bit of a Dust Brothers influence)
Martine Topley-Bird (great singer, known for being on the early Tricky records...her solo work is better)
Presidents Of The United States (really fun to listen to)

[Happymeal]

Fugazi, Lifetime, BOTAR and The Beach Boys

[Tomahawk]

I'm digging Camper Van Beethoven. I used to think they were just like, novelty rock, because of songs like Take the Skinheads Bowling. But I picked up their album Key Lime Pie, and it's really good... not novelty at all, they're just really good songs.

[br3ad_man]

Arcturus. Thank god for manuscriptreplica.

[Tangy zizzle]

Albums spun today:

Calexico - Spoke
Big Star - # 1 Record
Charles Mingus - Alternate Takes

I am maybe starting to like the couple of Can songs I have downloaded too.

[Glue_it_back]

Radiohead
Joanna Newsom
Albert Alyer
Camberwell
5'uus

Latyrx
Radiohead
Joanna Newsom
Albert Alyer
Camberwell
5'uus

Ah! Zappa in training.

[br3ad_man]

Except for the Radiohead.

I'm so metal these days. I listened to Wormed, Sigur Ros and Nick Drake. That was it belieive it or not. Oh, besides the 1/2 a Bloc Party song I listned to with my friend.

[Iai]

Today I have been mostly digging Bloc Party, Sublime, Adam F, and Morphine.

It is, however, only 11.10 in the morning.

[Tapeworm]

I started listening to QOTSA again today, and I decided that if my band does happen to play any cover, it will be a Queens song.

[theredwonder]

i've only been awake an hour, but i've had

Bright Eyes
The Radio Dept.
Art Brut

[Tomahawk]

Today was:

Camper Van Beethoven
Del the Funkee Homosapien
My Bloody Valentine
Nick Cave

[Tapeworm]

Ow Emm Gee! New CD review!

[Doctor D.]

everyone check out The Arcade Fire

Pffft...thats soooo 2004.

This morning I've been listening to nothing but MF Doom's "MM Food".

[Luxor]

I've listened to "Remain In Light" every day while falling asleep for the past 4 days. It's an awesome album.

[Zappa]

Yesterday I was looking for happy bubbly stuff, so I listened to T. Rex and the The Zombies. Fantastic choices.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I reacquainted myself with my love for Damien Rice today. It was great.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've been diggin' the fact that Stephon Marbury won Player of The Week.

[hurley_j182]

i was diggin the fact about dirt get it

[Radio]

I haven't had a whole lot of time to listen too music today, but I have listened to:
Elliott Smith,
Weezer,
and Damien Rice.

[Zappa]

"The Commercial Album" by the Residents, which I am playing now, is so fantastic

More recent fanastics:
"Oscar Peterson Trio Plus One" by the Oscar Peterson Trio with Clark Terry
"Zappa In New YorK" by Frank Zappa
"Absolutely Free" by Frank Zappa
"The Specials" by The Specials

[Happymeal]

I've been diggin' the fact that Stephon Marbury won Player of The Week.

Starbury. I din' know you were a balla, Tang.

I'm enjoying Bad Brains, Antibalas and Eric Mingus right now.

[Tangy zizzle]

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge basketball fan right here. And, as previously noted, I'm a Marbury fan (and any team which he is playing for at the time).

Today:

Cursive - The Ugly Organ (has been played a good 3 times)
Hot Snakes - all albums suckaaasss.

[Happymeal]

I'd go with Mike Bibby but the Kings majorly suck nowadays. I'm sticking with teh Nuggets.




I'm also majorly interested in hearing Fela Kuti, I'm trying to dl their stuff as well.

[Tangy zizzle]

Fela Kuti was a dude, not a band.

If you say you like his work, you probably don't, it's kinda hard to get into (well that's what i found). His albums are so overlooked it's not funny.

[Tangy zizzle]

I am teh 1337 man, I am teh 1337 man.

I sing songs, songs from the bong.

[Happymeal]

w00ps, n00b mistake.

[biografiend]

today i listened to:
Mum
The Polyphonic Spree
Olivia Tremor Control
New Mars Volta

[Well_Respected_Man]

^^^^^^

/obligatory freakout

I'm listening to a bunch of Howard Devoto solo stuff I managed to get my hands on, It's okay.

[Tangy zizzle]

Happymeal, no worries, just listen to his music. If you can get past the whole african thing, then you'll probably dig it.

[Zappa]

You're acting like Fela's music is from outerspace. It's got a universal groove, as far as I can tell.

[br3ad_man]

I saw one of his records in the jazz section the other day. Is that an accurate classification?

[Zappa]

He's is from Africa, so is there is a strong element of traditional African music to his material. However, it is also very jazzy and at times funky.

[Tapeworm]

I've been digging the only two good Elvis songs I've ever heard:

"Crying in the Chapel"
"You Made Me A Mountain"

So good.

[pixiesfanyo]

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West.

Great, Great, Great, CD

[Bartender]

I went shopping today, with a big list of stuff I'd been vaguely thinking about buying, and came back with 16 new CDs..but only one of them was on the list. Bloody sales. Anyway, I got;

Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind
Bjork - Homogenic

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Interpol - Antics
Jimmy Nail - Growing Up In Public (the one on the list)
Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On

Portishead - Dummy
The Rat Pack - A Night On The Town With..
The Roots - Phrenology
Weezer - The Blue Album
The Wildhearts - Fishing For Luckies
The Wildhearts - Riff After Riff
The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts Strike Back

All of which will undergo diggin' over the next few days. At the moment though, I'm digging the Naked Gun boxed set, which I also bought.

[The Ashtray Girl]

That's a rather fine list Mr Tender. It certainly gets my stamp of approval.

[A Goonie]

Never heard of The Wildhearts. Who can you compare them too?

[asymm]

Picked up The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds on full-stereo vinyl yesterday... that's been spinning...

[biografiend]

Le Tigre has been shakin my hips as of today.

/obligatory freakout

:D

[Bartender]

Never heard of The Wildhearts. Who can you compare them too?

They're a rock and roll band, with few fans on MX. Most of the bands I could compare them to would be really unknown rock bands, so it wouldn't help. Since the band are very open with fans, influences are easier; Stiff Little Fingers, Cheap Trick, Husker Du, Big Black, The ****ed, The Beatles, The Replacements, The Clash, The Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult.

[br3ad_man]

Isis
The Flaming Lips
Interpol

[Tangy zizzle]

Bold statement warning:

Tim Kasher is possibly(probably) the best songwriter in ze world.

[Tomahawk]

Bold question: Who?

[Tangy zizzle]

The dude from Cursive.

Actually, I'll retract. Nick Cave is better, but Kasher is rather goodly.

[Tapeworm]

Kasher is the freakin goods.

[br3ad_man]

The guy from the Goo Goo Dolls is one of the best songwriters ever

*gets shot by everyone on mx*

[YDload]

Johnny Rzeznzizkzzz (Rzeznik)? Yeah, I think he's good at making power ballads for the 90s generation.

[Lowend]

rufus wainwright - the art teacher

now that i've found that song, i've been listening to it constantly. it's so **** wonderful. the haunting piano, the powerful vocals. the desperate lyrics. ahhhh

[Happymeal]

Just dl'ed 2 JR Ewing albums, so I've been digging those.

[pixiesfanyo]

Tangy you should listen to The Good Life, it is like Cursive only neater.

(Tim is in it)

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Bought Isis - Panopticon and Brian Wilson - Smile yesterday. So I've been rocking to those. And I've been digging the menu music on my new Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVDs. DVD menus don't get much better than that.

I also went on a Pink Floyd listening spree, as it'd been a while since I spun any. Atom Heart/Meddle/Dark Side/Wish You Were Here/Animals.

And now I'm jammin' the Beulah.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Brian Wilson is awesome :thumb:

[Tomahawk]

I've been on a Pink Floyd spree too. I watched the Wall yesterday, and that got me in the mood.

Also I've been listening to Atmosphere.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm currently going on a Street Spirit rampage, I'm downloading every live, acoustic and cover version of it that I can find. It's fantastic!

[theredwonder]

The Walkmen
Bright Eyes
Idlewild
Interpol

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Melt Banana
Lightning Bold
Boredoms
King Krimson

[Tangy zizzle]

Lightning Bolt are so so so good.

Just listened to Gentleman. I appreciate that band more and more after every listen to their records.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I'm finnaly getting into into more material from Nucleus which I should have done a long time ago having liked Elastic Rock so much. So I gave Roots a listen and I'm really impressed. My dad used to have this record hanging on the wall when I was little and the cover always freaked me out, it's cool that ten years laters I'll be digging that album on the wall.

[Little Man being Erased]

Mainly Bjork lately. Vespertine is creeping up my list of all time favourite albums, I'd say it has made it to the top 20 already.

[biografiend]

King Krimson
heh. i'm downloading one of their albums right now.

I've also been digging the Mahavishnu Orchestra lately as well.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Lightning Bolt are so so so good.

Just listened to Gentleman. I appreciate that band more and more after every listen to their records.

its like walking in a room were ever half second a flash of light goes off right in front of you.

[Lowend]

harriet the spy = good.

[bov]

the used
senses fail
further seems forever

[indy_undy]

best hot snakes album anyone?

[br3ad_man]

Yesterday I listened to all four of my Flaming Lips albums at least twice each. Today I'm just listening to Blink 182 again.

[br3ad_man]

I think I'm turning into one of those "Soft Bulletin" fanboys.

[YDload]

But they're so determined.

[asymm]

David Bowie
Camera Obscura
The Church

[OrbDragon]

The Swans are amazing. Everyone should know that.

[Tapeworm]

Been listening to Bob, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash. The men.

[Bartender]

I've been listening to Interpol - Antics (which is pretty good), Jimmy Nail - Growing up in Public (which has Jimmy Nail and is therefore excellent), and Weezer's Blue Album, which turned out to be broken.

[Tangy zizzle]

best hot snakes album anyone?

That would be Suicide Invoice.

[geenat]

Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain


I just bought this a few weeks ago. May change with mood,but I like this style more than Kind of Blue. And I love the cover art. Of the Gil Evans collabs, is this one of the best?

[Zappa]

I like the "Porgy & Bess" album better than "Sketches of Spain," as far as Miles/Evans goes. "Miles Ahead" is significant since it is their first collaboration, but it isn't anything outstanding. Their last album, "Quiet Nights" is pretty lame.

[Happymeal]

I'm starting to love The Aquabats. And Euphone.

[AK47]

I've been digging Air for the last week.

[biografiend]

Lightning Bolt
GY!BE
Xiu Xiu

[Tangy zizzle]

I'd like to see a band that combined elements from those 3 groups.

[indy_undy]

That would be Suicide Invoice.

thanks ill check it out

[biografiend]

I'd like to see a band that combined elements from those 3 groups.
that band would probably be either the strangest or the greatest band in the world. or both.

[Tangy zizzle]

Probably the worst.

[TheSeeker625]

I've been listening to a lot of soft acoustic stuff recently:
John Mayer
Oasis
Dave Matthews Band
Incubus's acoustic stuff.

[Tapeworm]

I need to hear Lightning Bolt.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I need to hear Lightning Bolt.

Please do my boy, start with;

Faire Folk
Ride the Sky Jam
Wonderful Rainbow
Assassins

anyone who likes brainiac will definetly like Lightning Bolt.

[Zappa]

So you don't have to, here is lightning bolt:

Clunk clunk
Widdly widdly
Clunk Clunk

Bang Bang
Waaahaawwhaa
Bang Bang
Crash

Clunk Clunk
Weeeeeeooo
Weedley zap
Clunk Clunk

Hah!

Bump bump

Hah!

Bump bump bump

Hah!
Clunk clunk
Weedley Weedely grazzzzh

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Ignore previous post, pure madness it is.

[Tangy zizzle]

Brainiac doesn't translate to Lightning Bolt. How'd you figure that one MAK?

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Brainiac doesn't translate to Lightning Bolt. How'd you figure that one MAK?

not similar style, but the uncontrollable insanity of each others music, at least that's how i hear it.

[br3ad_man]

So you don't have to, here is lightning bolt:

Clunk clunk
Widdly widdly
Clunk Clunk

Bang Bang
Waaahaawwhaa
Bang Bang
Crash

Clunk Clunk

:lol:

I love Lightning Bolt, but I have to admit, that was hilarious.

Between The Buried and Me are like, the best band ever.

[Tomahawk]

I'm finally digging Pavement, after years of non-diggage. Their music never really appealed to me, but I've been listening to Slanted & Enchanted lately, and it's a great album. So uh, hooray for Pavement.

[Interstate]

lately i've been listening to:
Elliott Smith
Cab Calloway
Ben Folds
Morrissey
Oasis

[dkmaddog]

Two words: William Shatner.

[Iai]

This week I have been mostly digging X Japan's Art Of Life. It's a 29-minute long song with some awesome instrumentals (including a fantastic 6-minute piano solo), and it's one of the few completely English lyrics they ever wrote. The drumming is immense too, and the guitar work ain't slackin'.

I'm gonna write a review of it today.

[Tomahawk]

Right now I'm digging Explosions in the Sky... I'm not really familiar with this type of music, even though I've heard heaps of good stuff about it. So I decided to check out Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place, and ****damn it's a good album!

I did get a little bored during some bits, but for the most part it's really good.

[Bartender]

Two words: William Shatner.

Excellent.

Today (all three hours of it I've been awake) I've been digging Bjork, mostly Homogenic and Medulla (which was rescued from the CD player earlier today).

[Iai]

Today (all three hours of it I've been awake)
Please note that Bartender lives in Britain, and this message was posted at 8PM, GMT.

Students. :rolleyes:

[xXxoneofdeathxXx]

anyone like MSI(MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE)

[Doctor D.]

anyone like MSI(MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE)

They are a fun band in small doses. Nothing more nothing less.

[br3ad_man]

Next Exit is my favourite song off Antics. It's good stuff.

[Luxor]

I've started listening to Cursive again. I forgot how awesome they were.

[ibanezrg]
