[Tomahawk]

^Hey, that's exactly the same as me! omg twinz

Yeah. I've basically just listened to that EitS album today. It's been a while since I've connected with an album as much as I have with this one.

Also I've been listening to the song Safe From Harm by Massive Attack. A lot.

[die]

[OrbDragon]

I just checked out some Cursive songs...pretty decent stuff.

[Iai]

Also I've been listening to the song Safe From Harm by Massive Attack. A lot.
I've been listening to the song Protection a lot. Maybe it's time I got some Everything But The Girl in my life.

'The World Is Not A Cold Dead Place' was my introduction to post rock. And its all thanks to this forum otherwise I would have never heard of them. I'm pondering over what other post rock albums to get. I've heard alot of good things from Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Mogwai, Do Say Make Think, Sigur Ros etc. etc Any recommendations?

[Iai]

Gddspeed is the logical step after EiTS. It's just the way things are done.

[Luxor]

I like Explosions more than Godspeed.

GSYBE! is alot more random noises and computers. They're good, but sometimes I get bored with them really easily.

I just checked out some Cursive songs...pretty decent stuff.
:thumb:

[Tangy zizzle]

Cursive > all other bands not called Hot Snakes & QOTSA.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Gddspeed is the logical step after EiTS. It's just the way things are done.

i went in reverse (which is the correct way, honestly), cause without Godspeed i probably would never have liked EiTS.

Godspeed is more story driven in their epic songs. EiTS follows a more straightforward approach to like a "short" poem.

[Tangy zizzle]

Post rock = overrated.

[asymm]

Same situation here. Godspeed, being the original should be appreciated before moving on to their successors. I still personally prefer GY!BE over EitS anyway...

not really the original, Slint sorta takes that title for all i know, but i could be mistaken again.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yes you could be.

I didn't really mean the post-rock originators (that goes to Slint and Talk Talk), but the originators of the style that GY!BE and EitS both possess. A style of a more orchestral rock sound within the genre.

[Luxor]

I finally got my grubby little hands on a copy of "Psychocandy". I'm only on track 2, but it's been good so far.

Aaa... I need Psychocandy as well... I plan on hitting up eBay for it sometime soon. Give us your impressions after you've listened to it all.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Nucleus are still my jazz prog gods.

[Tangy zizzle]

...and you've been listening to them for how long now?

[Well_Respected_Man]

About 6 months or so, finnaly getting into their later stuff.

[CriticalFix]

i wish i could go back in time and remove your fingers.

[The Ashtray Girl]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Master Arkam Kannon again.


Today I loved Kasabian and Muse - Showbiz.

[still_ur_heart]

I didnt like Interpol's Antics when I first bought it, but now after listening to it alot, it has really grown on me. Um it's nice to kinda listen to while I'm asleep. hahaha no pun intended...and I am listening to more Postal Service and the rest of the Garden State soundtrack. It's nice.

[orange peel]

Today Elliott Smith has been gracing my headphones.

[Happymeal]

Four people with 1 post on this page. w0w.

I'm liking Mithras' Forever Advancing... Legions, Lykathea Aflame's Elvenefris and Cave In's Until Your Heart Stops.

I still can't find Origin of Symmetry ANYWHERE in stores. I've been wanting to buy it for oh so long now.

[Tangy zizzle]

Why?

[Happymeal]

I really don't know what's up with the stores here. I've seen all their other releases(Hullabaloo included), but I just can't seen to find Origin. I did see one in downtown Toronto last month, but it was a Japanese import, worth $50CN.

[Tangy zizzle]

Just burn it, the artwork is nothing great and be honest, it's Muse.

[Happymeal]

Yeah, I'll get that mentality once I buy a Creative Zen for me birthday next month. I'll probably only buy rare/cheap discs from now on. My wallet really takes a beating when I hang out in Sunrise or HMV every week.

[pure_ramdomness@hotmail.com]

How Could anyone disslike the libertines-up the bracket???

[Tangy zizzle]

Oooh I know, I know!!


It's a really really bad record?

[pure_ramdomness@hotmail.com]

Why do you think its a really bad record, construtive argument???

[Tangy zizzle]

Because of that small thing caleld taste. The album, and the band itself (also it's "cool" rockstar antics) do not appeal to me at all.

I have made better music on my harmonica.

[pure_ramdomness@hotmail.com]

well i can certainly tell your a very angry person, but if thats not your taste, then far enough, thats cool, so what bands are you in or listen to at the mo, have you heard of a band called neils children???

[Tangy zizzle]

Favourite bands at the moment.

Cursive
Hot Snakes
The Stooges
Fleetwood Mac
Dalek
Dimmer
Pluto
Blues Explosion
The Icarus Line

[mr_jackalope]

Holy hell, I'm on a Joy Division kick. Again.

[Bartender]

I've been listening to Murder By Death - Like The Exorcist, But With More Breakdancing a lot today.

Does anyone know the name that Like The Exorcist.. was released under? I don't know, you see.

[asymm]

today I bought The Afghan Whig's Gentlemen so as of now I'm listening to that. I'm enjoying it so far...

[Master Arkam Kannon]

you gave me stars, thank you.

i too was enjoying Muse, Origin of Symettry though.

[Feathers]

Ha Ha! the band ive been into lateley are The Ordinary Boys, they are amazing every song on theyre album is a class A song, If you Disagree u should go and get yaself a taste implant!!

[Tapeworm]

I have been digging Sgt Peppers today as I bought it for $17 and I finally have my own copy.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I hate the way you post yet find myself agreeing with you. Ordinary Boys are fantastico.

[myiaa]

I've be re-listening to Cursive's "The Ugly Organ" album for about 12 hours straight now whilst working. Brilliant.

[asymm]

I have been digging Sgt Peppers today as I bought it for $17 and I finally have my own copy.
$17? ack! I bought it on CD for $9 and a few days later found it on vinyl for $3. Where did you buy it at?

[Master Arkam Kannon]

$17? ack! I bought it on CD for $9 and a few days later found it on vinyl for $3. Where did you buy it at?

i think he means, $17 australian.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Talking Heads have surrouding my mind in the past two days.

[asymm]

i think he means, $17 australian.
Yeah, you're right. My mistake. Forgot he was an aussie.

[Zappa]

I got Lateef & The Chief Present "Maroons: Ambush" yesterday. It's hot to death, from right to left.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Today I'm in love with The Decemberists, especially Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect

[TheSeeker625]

I've become a huge Shins fan as a result of watching Garden State.

[Happymeal]

I recently started to listen to Dreamend, who are awesome. Check out As If by Ghosts.. people.

I went by Goodshirt's site as well, I like the 4 songs they posted in there. They're quite a fun band.

[Zappa]

This:

[ZaaR]

Right now I'm really into Modest Mouse's new album and Poison the Well's "The Opposite of December". I am also really into Brand New at the moment.

[TheSeeker625]

^ Modest Mouse is great!

Goodshirt? Woah, reppage for you.

[Little Man being Erased]

Goodshirt is rad. They have some of the coolest film clips you will ever see.





Woah, I just went on a repping rampage.

[TheSeeker625]

^ Thanks buddy! I'm gonna check out Goodshirt now, considering your excllent musical taste.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Bought: Flaming Lips - Yoshimi and DEP - Miss Machine today.

Other than that, it's just been the usual.

[Tapeworm]

Yeah, you're right. My mistake. Forgot he was an aussie.
Daaaaaaaarrrrrn skippy.

Goodshirt are the rad business.

[Tomahawk]

I bought Stop Making Sense (special new edition!) by Talking Heads today, and I'm really digging that.

I've also been listening to Frank Black's solo stuff alot, specifically the album Teenager of the Year. It's really good stuff, maaaybe even better than Bossanova and Trompe Le Monde.

And I also got the Gorillaz CD, but I'm not really feelin' that at the moment. I also got a leaked copy of that Mike Patton vs the X-Ecutioners collaboration album thing, but I'm not really feelin' that either. It's better than I expected it to be, but I wasn't expecting much.

[Zappa]

This:

I can't believe no one has downloaded this and replied.

[Tangy zizzle]

I clicked the link, it was random German (??) lyrics.

You dissapoint.

[Zappa]

Did you download the song?

[pixiesfanyo]

Zappa, the song sucks. It sucked when you sent it to me on AIM, it sucked when you posted it in here, and it sucks now. Stop whoring it, because it sucks.

Nazi.

[Zappa]

Schnappi haters are so trendy.

[Tangy zizzle]

Well I'm a trendsetter then.

You mechanical man, you!

[el doctor]

:lol: The green dinosaur/alligator fits the song perfectly.

[Zappa]

The song is about a Crocodile.

[Wanker]

[kevbud187]

Hey, Post your opinions on these lyrics:

What is Love

What is love
Just a unique obsession
A mental possesion
Another hard learned lesson
Deppressed, obsessed, and possible possesed
What is this destructive sydrome that bonds us so tightly
Only to let us go so lightly
Could it possibly be anxiety, a mental malfunction, A chronic junction
Two paths to go by, only one to know why

(chorus1)
Why did I bestow upon this path
People look at me and laugh
Sometimes I wonder to myself
Is this all in good health
(chorus1)

Choke my thoughts, drown my dreams
Mend my heart
Stop Looking at me
Stay away, I need some room
I am sure of it
All is doomed

(chorus2)
My heart is broken
Thoughts are open
Don't you dare now
Don't invoke it
(chorus2)

(chorus1)
Why did I bestow upon this path
People look at me and laugh
Sometimes I wonder to myself
Is this all in good health
(chorus1)

What is hope, it hurts to show
What is pain, like you would know
Why does this romance hurt me so
What is love, Ill never know

[kevbud187]

And These:

You Lied

I lie here, pondering things you said to me
Things that never were and will never be
Now I realize, I'm getting mad
Don't say a word, don't make me sad
Tread lightly, Don't even test me
Be careful or I'll make you bleed
What was that, something about my creed
What was that that you said to me
Mark my words, You'll die here in the roughs
Short, sweet, and simple, or we can make this tough
Oh c'mon, haven't you had enough

(chorus)
You lied to me, isn't that enough
You lied to me, this is gonna be rough
You lied to me, that's the path you choose
You lied to me, this is the wrath you brought out of the blues
So next time you feel like screwin with me
Remember this, All things come to me
(chorus)

Come on now, why did you say that
Don't you try now, I'm gonna make you pay for that
Show me your emotions
Betray your devotions
For I am the one that spread the ocean
That's right you know who I am
That's right I slayed the queen of the ****ed
It would be wise not to play with me
Instead, do my bidding, go out and be free

(chorus)
You lied to me, isn't that enough
You lied to me, this is gonna be rough
You lied to me, that's the path you choose
You lied to me, this is the wrath you brought out of the blues
So next time you feel like screwin with me
Remember this, All things come to me
(chorus)


Oh really, you don't believe me
Well go ahead, just try and decieve me

(work in progress)

[Well_Respected_Man]

/Dr. Seuss writes an emo song

Wrong forum buddy.

[YDload]

"You Lied" is the name of a Peach song covered by Tool on their "Salival" album. And "What Is Love" is an annoying dance song by Haddaway. But I guess if you were going to be creative, you would have started with more than just the title.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Oh and btw your avatar reminds me of my aunt.

AND I ****ING HATE MY AUNT. THAT STUPID BITCH.

^easy there big fella

Slowdive's Pygmalion Outtakes tickles my fancy today.

[asymm]

Picked up The Cure's Three Imaginay Boys Rhino reissue earlier today... so that's been a-spinnin'

[Tapeworm]

Those lyrics stank.

I've been diggin At The Drive In again. Good times.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I listened to the whole of The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free this morning before I even got up. It was great.

I'm also really loving The Who at the moment.

[pixiesfanyo]

I've been listening to These Arms Are Snakes today.

[Tangy zizzle]

It makes me feel good when I see that band mentioned in this forum...

[myiaa]

[myiaa]

OK, that song will now be stuck in my head for the next month. "fleee flaaa flicky"

[A Goonie]

I just got You Enemies Friends - You Are Being Videotaped... getting into them

[Doctor D.]

Zappa, that song seriously haunts my dreams.

[pinkyeti]

Zappa, knowing of Schnappi makes you the arguably best-informed indie nerd ever in my eyes.
No joke. Now, may I ask where you heard from it?

[YDload]

I've been talking about my three X-mas albums for a while, but now that I've finally received them and listened to them all, I have to say that I am amazingly astounded with all of them. I went 3/3 in album enjoyment, so hooray for that.

Minutemen- Double Nickels on the Dime
Primus- Frizzle Fry
Iron Maiden- Iron Maiden

I still can't pick one album over the others; I need a few more listens. But now I have a lot of basslines to learn, because these three albums are chock full of the low end.

[Zappa]

Zappa, knowing of Schnappi makes you the arguably best-informed indie nerd ever in my eyes.

We listened to it 5 or 6 times in German class this week.

I don't know how that qualifies me for indieness, though. It's number 1 on the German charts.

[Jimmy_The_Exploder]

On of my friends lent me some Belle and Sebastian and i'm hooked, they're too nice..... also been checking out the blood arm who are really good and dresden dolls....... :thumb:

[NineBitFable]

Aw man... I just rediscovered Gish from the Smashing Pumpkins.

Where did it ever go?

Also been listening to random SY albums and Isnt anything by My Bloody Valentine.

[biografiend]

Murder by Death are very lovely.

[Bartender]

Aren't they just.

I've been mostly listening to OK Computer, Leviathan and The Silent Circus today. Can't say I have been digging The Silent Circus, though.

[br3ad_man]

oooOOOOooo Bartender is listening to Radiohead! All three of those albums are great.

[Bartender]

Yeah, OKC was on sale, so I picked it up. Trying to break my streak of disliking Radiohead. It's better than previous experience would have made me think, for now.

I really can't get in to The Silent Circus very much, though, and that's been getting the most play of the three by far over the past 36 hours or so (trying to see what all the fuss is about, and so on).

[br3ad_man]

I love that album, I guess it just works for some people and not for others, maybe in the same way I cant understand the fuss with Tool.

[Bartender]

Yeah, I know, I've been reading the review of it in real time :) I just can't stand the death metal parts of the album, which unfortunately is most of it. It's just awful :-/ Especially when combined with the lyrics, which don't flow at all, it's horrible. I'm going to spend longer listening to it before I make a real decision though. It's not all bad, there are a few moments which are really good, but that just kind of makes the fact that the rest of it is bad worse.

In better news, Leviathan I thoroughly enjoyed. I also got Loveless just the other day, but haven't had time to listen to it past the first track yet. Excellent first track, though.

[br3ad_man]

Woah, Bartender picks up the goods! I like the death metal parts but it's not really on the standard of something like Cryptopsy.

[wheelz]

It makes me feel good when I see that band mentioned in this forum...

tangy i've been digging "this is meant to hurt you" since the day you first mentioned them on here. i just finished listening to it before reading this post. apparently i should mention digging them more often, because i enjoy making you feel good.

i am also lately digging:

the shins - oh, inverted world!
ween (i have just discovered ween recently)
modest mouse - the lonesome crowded west
boards of canada - geogaddi
pixies dvd (finally got it at christmas)
mos def - the new danger
and everything prefuse 73... it never gets old.

[pixiesfanyo]

Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full

[Happymeal]

Slowdive - Just For a Day
The Radio Dept - Lesser Matters

:cool:

[pinkyeti]

We listened to it 5 or 6 times in German class this week.

I don't know how that qualifies me for indieness, though. It's number 1 on the German charts.
I know. Nevertheless. It was Indie before.
Schnappi sold out. :angry:

[Tomahawk]

I've been digging X. I got their album Los Angeles, and I'm loving it.

Also been digging Pete Rock & CL Smooth, William Shatner, and Talking Heads.

[Luxor]

This morning I've listened to;

Blink 182 - Self-Titled
Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo
Weezer - Pinkerton (Half of it, actually)

[Iris]

Damien Rice - O has been tickling my ears as of late.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Iris! You're back! I was worried sick...

To prevent this being a spam post, I've been listening to a lot of stuff like The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim today.

[ATM]

Apocalyptica are amazing. That's what I've been listening too alot lately.

[asymm]

picked up a few LPs... so they have been playing around here.

Cream - Disraeli Gears
Sly and the Family Stone - Greatest Hits
Plus, I bought Ege Bamyasi yesterday as well...

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

the olivia tremor control - dusk at cubist castle

its great so far..

[Robert Crumb]

I just got Young Marble Giant's Colossal Youth. Interesting stuff. Also, Handsome Boy Modelling School and The Kinks.

[Happymeal]

I thought I'd get into the classics more so I picked up Funhouse by The Stooges, for it's $6.99 at HMV. It's mighty fine so far.

[Bartender]

I'm watching the Tsunami AId live concert thing on webcast. Most of it's kind of okay, but India Arie and Stevie Wonder just did a song, which was awesome. So I'm digging the memory of that, while John Mayer is playing something.

[Tapeworm]

I heard a Frames song on the radio before and I loved it.

And Grandaddy and Love Outside Andromeda are being broadcast live on JJJ this afternoon ay 5, so I'm looking forward to that.

A lot.

Blink 182 - Self-Titled

I can't say I'm much of a fan of Razorlight's album, it gets boring. But "Stumble and Fall" is a really good song. I love M83 as well.

[oliveri4string]

i've been "digging" razorlight lately, also got heavily into my old faith no more albums and metallica, quite a variation really

graaaaaaaa

Liquid Tension Experiment

I just realized after a week that the strange song that The Faint played on sunday night was a cover of Talking Heads' Psycho Killer so great.

[robot]

i've been listening to The Decemberists' "Picaresque" nonstop.

to be released in march.

:D

[Iris]

I'm not sure why, but I am heavily into Radiohead at the moment.

[YDload]

Primus! "Groundhog's Day" is such a fun song. I command you all to listen to it! Please?

[Zappa]

Thelonious Monk. I end up rediscovering him periodically. I don't know why I so often forget to listen to him.

[pixiesfanyo]

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotten Vegetables
Damien Rice - O (Thanks to Closer reinspiring me to listen to this album more)

Out of curiosity, what is your avatar?

I'm in a very non-Alt/Indie mood today, since I'm annoyed; just finished listening to Possessed's Seven Churches, and now I'm listening to Extreme Conditions Demand Extreme Responses by Brutal Truth. Nice, simple aggressive cathartic music.

[br3ad_man]

I'm in the mood to listen to agressive stuff today. I'm listening to Circle Takes The Square at the moment.

[Tapeworm]

Nice work. Band of the 00's.

[pixiesfanyo]

These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or The Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home

[Tapeworm]

[br3ad_man]

I have a friend who likes These Arms Are Snakes. It's wierd because she normally listens to stuff like The Ataris. Oh well, great band anyway.

[myiaa]

I'm really liking Saetia at the moment. I've only got 4 songs, but I've had them on repeat all day. I've been looking up things about them and they disbanded in like 1998. Damn

I know. I saw Tales of the Inexpressible in a store the other day, but it was pretty expensive, especially compared to what else I was buying at the time. So I was thinking of ordering it, from Amazon or wherever else I can get it cheaper.

You're seeing Blues Explosion? Or Dimmer?

[br3ad_man]

Both. It's Big Day Out.

[Bartender]

Ah. JSBX would be cool to see, but I suppose I wouldn't pay to see a festival just for them. Especially not in Australia/New Zealand.

As for digging; currently listening to some little known (as far as I know) English rock band called Beerzone. Drunken, fun and pointless.

[Zappa]

I know. I saw Tales of the Inexpressible in a store the other day, but it was pretty expensive, especially compared to what else I was buying at the time. So I was thinking of ordering it, from Amazon or wherever else I can get it cheaper.

I downloaded it.

[br3ad_man]

I've had enough heavy music for a while. I'm listening to The Cure now.

[asymm]

Tom Waits - Real Gone
&
Can - Ege Bamyasi

[Tangy zizzle]

^ good work indieboy.

[TosenDAndys]

regina spektor- soviet ktscish
the killers- hot fuss

amazinggggggggggggggggg

[jamesblack]

:thumb: Early stuff by Snow Patrol!
and anything by Bloc Party! those guys are great man!

[Iai]

I've been digging some pretty obvious albums today. Mainly because I'm re-touching some reviews that got ported onto the new site badly.

The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen
Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
Opeth - Still Life
Jeff Buckley - Live At Sin-E

Recently, I've also been generally diggin' -

L'Arc En Ciel - Ark
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
The Kinks - The Ultimate Collection

[vallely2004]

The Kinks - The Ultimate Collection

I got that the other day, I've had a few songs on my computer for ages and I finally decided to get out there and buy it.

[still_ur_heart]

the killers- hot fuss



Bought it today....it's ok

[Happymeal]

L'Arc En Ciel - Ark

They're Japanese right? What they sound like?

I feel like listening to Euphone right now. They're groovy.

[Tangy zizzle]

Listened to Abbatoir Blues a couple times today. So good.

[Luxor]

Today I've listened to:

Sum 41 - Chuck
Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West
TV On The Radio - Young Liars EP
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Neil Young - Freedom
Pedro The Lion - Control
Coheed & Cambria - IKSOSE:3

Holy crap, that's a lot... I don't have a life.

[HolySocks]

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Beastie Boys, Jurassic 5, Sigur Ros and At The Drive-In.

The Beastie Boys are probably my favourite rap/hip hop group of all time.

I've been trying to get into Sigur Ros for a while. Which songs are their best? The longer it takes me to get into a band, the better it is usually.

[Iai]

They're Japanese right? What they sound like?
It's been called the Japanese OK Computer. I can definitely see why, though it's slightly unfair. It's a very diverse album. Really good stuff.

[Tomahawk]

L'arc En Ciel? OK Computer?

They must have changed a LOT... because the songs I've heard were extremely cheesy. Catchy though. Actually, the only song I can really remember of theirs was called Driver's High.

[Fear_And_Loathing_In_Las_Vegas]

:thumb: Early stuff by Snow Patrol!
and anything by Bloc Party! those guys are great man!

you know your ****, but for me add mellon collie and the infinite sadness (album) by smashing pumpkins and any Libertines album

[The Ashtray Girl]

I've been trying to get into Sigur Ros for a while. Which songs are their best? The longer it takes me to get into a band, the better it is usually.

Von
Untitled 1
Untitled 8

Good to start you off, anyway, I'm sure people can suggest more.

[YDload]

Radiohead- Street Spirit (Fade Out)

Wow, it's better than any song on OK Computer, in my opinion.

[The Ashtray Girl]

It's better than any song, ever, I think anyways.

I'm really loving Hail To The Thief today.

[pinkyeti]

lately, I've been digging a lot of M.I.A.
also:
Ratatat
the Weakerthans
the Walkmen
the Go! team

[vallely2004]

This week I have been mostly diggin' The Mooney Suzuki

[Tangy zizzle]

Malcolm Mooney + Damo Suzuki = the Mooney Suzuki.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've been listening to a Suede album today.

It's either called "Nude" or just "Suede". I think it's self titled, but anyhoo.... These guys are rather nice.

[The Ashtray Girl]

This week I have been mostly diggin' The Mooney Suzuki

Now there's a good band.

[vallely2004]

Now there's a good band.

:thumb:

"I'm, I'm Alive and Amplified!"

[ATM]

I just discovered Explosions in the Sky. Very relaxing.

[Tangy zizzle]

Oi, you Mooney Suzuki fans.

I've never listened to them, do they sound like their name suggests?

[vallely2004]

Oi, you Mooney Suzuki fans.

I've never listened to them, do they sound like their name suggests?

Sorry i don't really know Malcolm Mooney + Damo Suzuki. But If you want to check TMS out try the songs 'Alive and Amplified' (their new single) and 'In a Young Man's Mind'. 2 very good songs.

[Tangy zizzle]

They took their name from the surnames of the first 2 singers from Can.

Do they sound like Can?

[pixiesfanyo]

Cursive - Such Blinding Stars For Starving Eyes

[wheelz]

the Go! team

for this i give you stars.

i love them.

[el doctor]

They took their name from the surnames of the first 2 singers from Can.

Do they sound like Can?Well, considering Can are a timeless, classic, genre-bending kraut rock band, and the Mooney Suzuki are a garage rock/punk act riding the wave of current trends, I'm gonna go ahead and reply with a big "no".

There's a slight Can influence in their music, but I definitely can't say they sound like them.

[Tangy zizzle]

Well I've never listened to them before and seeing as though they have a ****en shrine as their name, I thought they'd be like a poor imitation.

Noone asked for a life story grandpa.

[Happymeal]

Before the Dawn Heals Us by M83 is class. Can't compare it with their other albums yet though.

[br3ad_man]

It's different from their other two and it's really good.

Check out my FA of them in Other Music

[jacksloadedgun]

The Beatles...
-Sgt. Peppers
-The White Album
-Abbey Road

got Sgt. Peppers for x-mas and really started listening to it a couple days ago and well now i can't stop.

[NineBitFable]

Actually, I've been listening to some of my Offspring albums, (The band that got me into music... Ah, good times) and of course, Sonic Youth, which forever seems stuck on my playlist.

[Tapeworm]

Finally getting into Built To Spill again.

[br3ad_man]

I'm rocking out to Tomahawk. "Captain Midnight" is such a cool song.

[TosenDAndys]

Oi, you Mooney Suzuki fans.

I've never listened to them, do they sound like their name suggests?


indie power pop!

[TosenDAndys]

now im spinning- the vines-highly evolved album
-travis- singles album

[Lowend]

indie power pop!

i thought it sounded like droning 70's rock.

[Iris]

Heavily digging Explosions In The Sky again thanks to the lovely pixiesfanyo.

[giventofly]

red house painters

[kirkrock85]

I've been really hooked on Minus the Bear recently... just really good songs.

[Tapeworm]

Minus the Bear kick it. I was trying to explain the hilarity of their song/album titles to someone today and they didn't get it.

[Rrazors3k]

:thumb: GameOut is awesome check em out in the G's on the MXTabs, ill be adding more songs soon!!!

[TosenDAndys]

i thought it sounded like droning 70's rock.

wat the hell is that genre?

[Happymeal]

Prefuse 73
Spiritualized

thanks to Scott:)

[YDload]

Creed- Ode. It sounds like Alice In Chains, and if it were on their second or third album, they would probably have to water it down some more. You can actually hear the bassist, wuts ^ wif dat? :confused:

Ice Cube- It Was a Good Day. thanks GTA: San Andreas!

Minutemen- Don't Look Now. It's a cover of a John Fogerty song, but it's awesome.

[el doctor]

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister
Patton and Kaada - Romances
Frank Zappa - Zappa in New York

All albums I've felt like going back to listening to, along with all things Spoon.

[Tangy zizzle]

Bands I watched yesterday that YOU didn't.

The Fanatics
Deja Voodoo
Pluto
Kid 606
Le Tigre
Kid Koala
The Mint Chicks
Money Mark
Polyphonic Spree
Carl Cox
Dimmer
Hatebreed (through neccesity, not choice)
The mother****in' Blues Explosion.

You lose.

[Little Man being Erased]

I finally picked up Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight and The Shins - Oh, Inverted World last week. Both bloody brilliant. And, I'm going to see The D4 tonight. I can't wait.

[Little Man being Erased]

Oh yeah, and I shall have the two new Bright Eyes albums in my hands in about half an hour.

[Zappa]

Frank Zappa - Zappa in New York


Fantastic album. It's too bad that band didn't do more work.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah Hot Snakes!

D4 = A good show.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yes it does. I saw them at livid a couple years back and they were climbing up the scafolding and jumping off stacks, it was awesome.

[br3ad_man]

I'm loving Explosions In The Sky thanks to Happymeal and that video that pixiesfanyo posted a while ago. I wish I hadn't taken so long to get around to them.

[YDload]

That's what I thought too after seeing that video. But they really didn't impress me THAT much. I just have to know WHAT SONG WERE THEY PLAYING?! In the record store? Please?

[br3ad_man]

mmm. I didn't actually watch the video, I just listened to the audio.

[pixiesfanyo]

I only have A Cold Dead Place.

So I don't know.

[indy_undy]

hello all, wat is the best blues explosion album?

[Happymeal]

Orange, I think.

[wheelz]

Prefuse 73

my favorite artist ever!

i'm glad to see someone else into prefuse besides me or scott... the new album is coming out soon, the EP with the books is coming out soon, and the stuff he just released under his new "piano overlord" alias is great too.

it's a good time to be a prefuse 73 fan.

[Interpol_666]

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here. Lately I have been listening to these bands:

-The Secret Machines
-The Mars Volta
-The Shins
-I just bought some older At the Drive In stuff
-Of Montreal
-Me and a good friend finally started listening to Zappa. My one friend has a tape with a bunch of pretty cool claymation made by Zappa.

[Tapeworm]

hello all, wat is the best blues explosion album?
Plastic Fang

But according to Allmusic, Now I Got No Worry is.

[Bartender]

I've been spending most of the day listening more attentively than usual to Mastodon - Leviathan and Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come. Both very good albums, though I think I prefer the latter a little.

Right now I'm just relaxing with something I already know; Maggot Brain.

[Zappa]

I put on Guided By Voices' Bee Thousand for the second time (the first was about a month ago), because I read in the Austin City Limits thread that they're on tonight. I thought I'd give them another chance, since I liked things about the album the first time I heard it, but they didn't totally sell me. Today I'm digging it a lot more.

[pinkyeti]

The problem with guided by voices is that there are always a few songs on any album you do not like. The reason for this is the sheer quantity of songs I guess. A good Guided by voices album is determined by the good songs : bad songs ratio. But there are always both kinds on any album.

[asymm]

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus
Upon my first listen I didn't dig it nearly as much as I anticipated. But subsequent listens have led me to really enjoy this whole album. Delightful.

[YDload]

Someone down the hall from me burned every ATDI album and song onto four CDs (except RoC which I already have), so that's cool. I now have many, many ATDI songs.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I've been digging
Dischord - Twenty Years Box Set
Soft Machine - Early Singles
5'uus - Point of Views

And I just dusted off my old copy of Gorillaz from like five years ago, god I love this album.

[Doctor D.]

Le Tigre



Sorry.

Anyway, I've been listening to:

The Melvins
Talking Heads
Bearsuit
The Flaming Lips

[Tangy zizzle]

Derek, I don't like Le Tigre at all, but they are damm fun (and extremely perplexing due to gender issues...) live.

[Tangy zizzle]

[Doctor D.]

Derek, I don't like Le Tigre at all, but they are damm fun (and extremely perplexing due to gender issues...) live.

I'm not suprised that they are fun live, but they blow so hard, that I wouldn't even want to be near them.

They are just an awful band that makes my ears crave for a nice hard q-tip jam, and my remark wasn't a stab at you, it was stab at Le Tigre.

[indy_undy]

I am now the self appointed mx Blues Explosion afficianado, so listen up and listen good (or I cut you).
