What I've Been Digging Lately

[Anxious]

Part of the appeal is that there are bits of home made genius just popping up out of nowhere like you're listening to the bleeding of sound out of some ageing rocker's band practice in his garage.

[pixiesfanyo]

i thought part of the appeal was that they wrote good songs.

[Anxious]

I disregarded the fact that YDload thought there were bad songs on that album because there aren't.

[Time]

1 Meat Puppets 22
2 Tom Waits 18
3 David Bowie 5
3 The Beatles 5
5 Yo La Tengo 4
5 Frank Zappa 4
Finally got my hard drive back on Wednesday so I can actually listen to music on my computer again.

[pixiesfanyo]

the one that sounds like Steve Miller meets the Who is pretty bad.

[YDload]

the one that sounds like Steve Miller meets the Who is pretty bad.

Kicker of Elves? cause i agree

imo the best song is Smothered in Hugs, followed closely by Robot Boy. i dont really think I Am A Scientist is all that great, even though a lot of ppl do (probably). i think its better when the lyrics arent even close to being about something.

[Time]

I think either Gold Star for Robot Boy or Echos Myron is my favorite. I can never really get tired of the album.

[Anxious]

I love Smothered in Hugs. My favorite GBV song is probably Queen of Seconded Guessing off of Get Out My Stations.

last.fm is ****ing stupid. Half of these bands I haven't listened to in like 2 weeks, or if i did listen to them this week, it was only one or two songs.

[pixiesfanyo]

Kicker of Elves rules. its the one that has that weird airplane effect on his voice in the beginning.

[Anxious]

Here's the best GBV song since you;ll never find get out my stations unless you search slsk for 10 hours.

it had like, Ratatat Remixes vol 1 and 2, Spank Rock, Illmatic, The Chronic, People Under the Stairs - O.S.T., Return of Dr. Octagon, a bunch of Queen, the Police, a little CCR, DFA1979, The Faint - Danse Macabre and Blank-wave Arcade, Fischerspooner - The Odyssey, Out Hud, and some other stuff like What Is Love? and Be My Lover and Technotronic and the Mortal Kombat theme all shuffled it was pretty damn good and also i was definitely undefeated in beirut which was pretty sweet too

[ATM]

One two
Buckle my shoe
Scooby Doo
Humpty what you gonna do?
Lick lick let me lick
Smell let me smell the flavor
And taste the behavior
The way you
Been kicking it while the Humpster was lamping
Fishing and camping
Out renting boats in the Hamptons
Eating good working out and giving charity
Working on my vocal cord clarity
Hell no, I can't front, I been at the crib G-ing
Slapping poontang trying to be the mack pappy
40-dog and pina colada peeing
Making my rounds to keep the Humpty girls happy
If you missed me I was laying in the cut
Wrecking big butts
And scratching my knees
Cuz my homegirl's cat got fleas
That's how it goes
The beat flow-flows
Yo peep the new color of my nose
Representing how we been living
That's how it is
I'm not the biz
But if I was to pick a booger
It'd be a big fat gooey gold plated loogie
But I was born a yankee so I use my hanky
The way I wear my clothes freaks the hos cuz I'm lanky
Speaking of hankies, I like hanky-panky
Especially when the hanky-panky's stanky
Of course ain't gonna be too much stanking
Cuz then my duty would be to give the booty a spanking
I like biscuits and grits on the sausage
And so you know it's me, I wrote some nonsense
Hova glova nivlan blizman glaze niull
The return of the crazy one (you think I ain't?)
Psycho alpha, that means the crazy one
Gold nose lazy one
Skill to kill
I never worked I never will
I'm the original high yellow rich rigger bum
Hookers getting mad cuz they can't make me come
Around their way
Addicted to the way that I play
I like to chew bubblegum
Make them laugh when I'm loving them
I blew a bubble and some Bubble-Yum
Got caught up in the booty
I thought it was the end of her
Gabriella needed an enema
So I put away the broom
And we broke out the vacuum
Sort of like spring cleaning
Humpty Hump's leaning
Into the groove from the fat beat
The pimp slap beat
The yo my head is nodding cuz I'm hooked like crack beat
Hiva-humping
Rip-riva-rumping
Biva-biva-butt-pumping
Rump-riva-rump-pumping
And it just ain't releasing me
The beat's obesity
So fat that it makes me shout
Ah ha this beat's got gout
Not from the worms, from the pork
That you eat with a fork
But it weighs about a ton when it plays
Back to the honeys
The play-booty-bunnies
You know what's real funny to me
When they get up for the downstroke
The look on their face when they almost choke
On the lean butter bean brown hamhock
I got the joke in the chamber and the gun's cocked
It's time to pull out my funny bone and get ready for the fun
The return of the crazy one
Five, six
Humpty's sick
Seven, eight
Just too late
To get the man the help that he needs
Yo, how about some butter beans?

Cadence Weapon - Afterparty Babies

Album is stunning. Big step up from Breaking Kayfabe, and that was a pretty neat album as it was. So good to hear some refreshing hip hop music again.

[AlienEater]

I am bored with most of my music and I need new stuff. I have a few ideas but your suggestions would be cool. pretty much any genre

as long as you'll think I'll like it

listenning to a Boredoms live thing at the moment. it is cool

Try to find one of Airways live recordings from the 70'es. Live at the lace is a monster of a noise record. One google search would make you this album richer.

[cbmartinez]

Dude I may be there.

sweet man, my friend got a press pass to the rock n roll hotel for his blog (that I also write for) so I may be getting in with him

[pulseczar]

Yeah. It's a good song on its own, but it's so out of context, the subdued sadness of the album goes to Kozelek moaning "LOOOORD KILLL MY GURLFRIEND" over some Crazy Horse ****. I just found it funny.

[ATM]

sweet man, my friend got a press pass to the rock n roll hotel for his blog (that I also write for) so I may be getting in with him

harvey milk - special wishes, courtesy and goodwill, my love

going to listen to ruins, and airway later

[Neoteric]

i'm listening to Special Wishes right now, quite cool.

[AlienEater]

I think I prefer Courtesy and Goodwill. but that one is far more accesable and has some awesome songs and is still brilliant

it's nowhere as tortured or pained.

'Truth Becomes Death' is a good starting place.

i have axis bold as love on vinyl i jam it every once and awhile

he has a handful of really good songs and the rest suck nutsss

Harvey Milk - Special Wishes

After one listen, I like it, except maybe the first song. yeah that might be the weakest one but i still like it a lot.

[Anxious]

I have Electric Ladyland and it has some pretty cool experimental recording techniques and lots of reverb. Other than that it stinks.

[Bordello]

i like his ballads more than his rockings of out, except for maybe voodoo chile.

[ATM]

What are Ruins like?

[Anxious]

Like Boredoms meets Don Caballero if Don had way more complicated rhythms.

Bjork - Volta

Hyderomastgroningem or Live Mandala.


They're all pretty much the same, but those are the best.

[A Dead Modernist]

That Kayo Dot set is awesome. Vocals and mix are a bit shaky at times but everything else kills. Im really going to make an effort to drive up to North Carolina for the 2 shows.

[cbmartinez]

Speaking of Ruins, you wouldn't happen to have any recommendation on which Magma album to get?

[Anxious]

I only have Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh and its pretty good. I'm no Magma expert though (and believe me there are such people). Supposedly their albums all fit together in a story line of some sort.

But I'm just listening to der Kraftwerk

"fragile", and as he sat curled up inside, res
The foam rubber cushioning he’d thoughtfully included, he tried to picture the
look of awe and happiness on marshas face as she opened the door, saw the
package, tipped the deliverer, and then o
It to see her waldo finally there in person. she would kiss him, then, maybe
they could see a movie. if he’d only thought of this before. suddenly rough
hands gripped his package and he felt hi
Barne up. he landed with a thud in a truck and then he was off.

Marsha bronson had just finished setting her hair. it had been a very rough
weekend. she had to remember not to drink like that. bill had been nice about
it though. after it was over he’d said t

even though, no he didn’t love her, he did feel an affection for her. and,
after all, they were grown adults. oh, wh
Lly could teach waldo - but that seemed like years ago. sheila klein, her very,
very best friend walked in through the porch screen door and into the kitchen.
"oh, it’s absolutely maudlin o
E." "ach, I know what you mean, I feel all icky!" marsha
tightened her cotton robe with the silk outer edge. sheila ran her finger over
some salt grains on the kitchen table, lick
R fingers and made a face. "i’m supposed to take these salt pills,"
but she wrinkled her nose, "they make me feel like throwing up."
marsha started to pat herself under the c

bottle of pink and blue vitamins. "want one? supposed to be better than
steak." and attempted to touch her
S. "i don’t think I’ll ever touch a daiquiri again." she gave up and
sat down, this time nearer the table that supported the telephone. "maybe
he’ll call." she said to sheila
Ance. sheila nibbled on a cuticle. "after last night, I thought maybe
you’d be through with him." "i know what you mean, my g-d, he was
like an octopus. hands all over the place.&
She gestured, raising her arms upwards in defense. "the thing is after a
while, you get tired of fighting with him, you know, and after all he didn’t
really do anything friday and saturday
Kind of owed it to him, you know what I mean." she started to scratch.
sheila was giggling with her hand over her mouth. "i’ll tell you, I feel
the same way, and even after a while,&q
Here she bend forward in a whisper, "wanted to," and now she was
laughing very loudly.

It was at this point that mr. jameison of the clarence darrow post office rang
the door bell of the large colored stucco frame house. when marsha bronson
opened the door, he helped her carry the
Age in. he had his yellow and green slips of paper signed and left with a
fifteen cent tip that marsha had gotten out of her mothers small beige pocket
book in the den. "what do you think i
" sheila asked. marsha stood with her arms folded behind her back. she
stared at the brown cardboard carton that sat in the middle of the living room:
"i don’t know."

Inside the package waldo quivered with excitement as he listened to the muffled
voices. sheila ran her fingernail over the masking tape that ran down the
center of the carton. "why don’t yo
K at the return address and see who it is from? " waldo felt his heart
beating. he could feel the vibrating footsteps. it would be soon.

Marsha walked around the carton and read the ink-scratched label. "it’s
from waldo." "that schmuck!" said sheila. waldo trembled with
expecta- tion. "you might as well o

"ah," said marsha groaning. "he must have nailed it shut."
they tagged at the flap again. "my god, you

can’t get a grip!" they both stood still, breathing heavily. "why
don’t you get the scissors," said shei
Arsha ran into the kitchen, but all she could find was a little sewing
scissors. then she remembered that her father kept a collection of tools in the
basement. she ran downstairs and when she c
Ack, she had a large metal cutter in her hand. "this is the best I could
find." she was out of breath. "here, you do it. I’m gonna die."
she sank into a large fluffy couch an

of the cardboard, but the blade was too big and th

exaspe- rated. then smiling "i got an idea." "what? " said
marsha. "just watch," said
A touching her finger to her head.

Inside the package, waldo was transfixed with excitement that he could hardly
breathe. his skin felt prickly from the heat and he could feel his heart
beating in his throat. it would be soon. sh
Stood upright and walked around to the other side of the package. then she sank
down to her knees, grasped the cutter by both hands, took a deep breath and
plunged the long blade through the mid

through the cushioning and (thud) right through the center of waldo jeffers

I suspect copy/paste.

I'm also digging Dandelion Gum. I used to think this was hit or miss but the second half is really spectacular

[Interstate]

I think so.

In other news I have a job (well temporary work but yay!)

[Neoteric]

I suspect copy/paste.

I'm also digging Dandelion Gum. I used to think this was hit or miss but the second half is really spectacularNo, I typed it all out.

[Bordello]

awww d-d-d-dont do that
dont you know you'll STAIN THE CARPET????

[Zebra]

Codeine - Frigid Stars

it's pretty good

[Bordello]

it had a lot more distortion/fuzziness than i expected

i dont like it much

[Anxious]

Thats a great album. Barley Real is my favorite by them.


Robert Wyatt- Dondestan

Masterpiece. Like a really subdued and jazzed up version of Joy Division.

[Neoteric]

I can listen to one or two tracks of Frigid Stars and then have an urge to turn it off.

[Anxious]

Maybe thats their crap album. I always get them mixed up cause I downloaded them all at once.

[A Dead Modernist]

Codeine - Frigid Stars

it's pretty good

I was digging on this pretty hard last night. I was watching random Super 8mm footage on youtube while I was listening to it so it made it that much better. Im actually downloading White Birch right now.

[Bordello]

poison idea - feel the darkness
steve lacy - reflections
colour haze - tempel

[perriwinkle]

i hate codeine - frigid stars

dont get why everyone sweats it so hard

[A Dead Modernist]

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
My Bloody Valentine - You Made Me Realize ep
Badgerlore - We Are All Hopeful Farmers, We Are All Scared Rabbits
Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
Codeine - The White Birch

I think what hurts Frigid Stars the most are the lame ****ing lyrics. The White Birch is so much better lyrically wise.

[Neoteric]

You Made Me Realise is an awesome EP.

[Time]

Sundialing is my favourite track from that.

Yeah, Sundialing is very good and so are Irene and Eli.

and also

Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain and Wonderful Rainbow

i can't decide which one i like better.

[Liebensaft]

Lightning Bolt are crazy. They make gnarly music, and it's gotta be tough to just memorize it. It's not exactly conventional or conveniently arranged.

[Neoteric]

I like Wonderful Rainbow better.

[Bordello]

same here

[Anxious]

I don't think I've listened to Hypermagic Mountain since it came out.

[A Dead Modernist]

They need to put out a new record already. Anyone seen The Power of Salad DVD? It's pretty cool and its up on youtube if you wanna check it out.

[Time]

Can - Tago Mago

For some reason I forgot about Can for a while, but this album is just amazing in every aspect.

[Boilermaker]

I like Wonderful Rainbow better.

Same.

But Hypermagic Mountain is great too.

[samariah]

yeah i think i do too but hypermagic mountain has some really good songs too, especially Mohawk Windmill.

[Bordello]

dead cowboy is their best song

supposed to have an album out this year

Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst

Stardust - "Music Sounds Better With You"

Over and over and over. If you like Daft Punk and don't like this song, there's definitely something wrong with you

[philly96]

You'd kinda hope Daft Punk lovers love 'Music Sounds better with you' considering one of them made the song.

[Anxious]

Wire- 154

[Happymeal]

You'd kinda hope Daft Punk lovers love 'Music Sounds better with you' considering one of them made the song.

That's what I was getting at.

i dont know if anyone's ever heard of this guy but he's basically a pissed-off old bluesman. "I'm Insane" is a fun song. i think he's Wesley Willis's daddy.

[A Dead Modernist]

Girl Talk - Night Ripper

holy ****! this is too sick.

[sgrevs]

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

So so awesome. Love this album.

[Happymeal]

Girl Talk - Night Ripper

holy ****! this is too sick.

As a non-white person, I really can't bring myself to appreciate that album as much as white people do.

[Against Miik!]

I usually think it's really lame to listen to soundtracks. Like seriously, just get the albums if you like the songs that much. But I'm really diggin the Darjeeling Limited soundtrack. I just watched the movie and picked up the soundtrack afterwards. It's just such a good compilation, and some of the albums are a bit hard to find, like the song that plays during the credits, Les Champs-Elysées by Joseph Dassin. Like where would I find that, seriously? Anyways, thats what I'm diggin.

[Zmev]

maaaan you know what soundtrack i like




garden state

[horseypie]

yeah...i have a few songs off that soundtrack that are really good...i need to see the movie

[Iai]

One of the songs I wrote is a total rip-off of one of the songs on the Blade II soundtrack - like, if you heard the original there's no freakin' way you'd not notice I'd ripped it. I'm still waiting to see if anyone irl calls me on it.

[AlienEater]

This Heat - Health and Efficiency

[Tyr]

Pumice - Pebbles
Minor Threat - Complete Discography

[Neoteric]

Pumice - Pebbles
Minor Threat - Complete Discographygud albums.

[Tyr]

This was my first time listening to Pumice and it's quite good. And Minor Threat are just classic.

[YDload]

so "Halloween" by Sonic Youth... yeah. i heard some ppl say it was the best SY song (i know NPC did) and i think they might be on to something. its really neat, different from anything they've ever done. almost like VU

[Bordello]

npc is wrong but the song is still good


dug some Ys on vinylsssss earlier. enjoyed good time.


also why are people just getting aruond to listenin 2 pumice

[YDload]

elim whats your fav. SY song

[Bordello]

Teen Age Riot or Schizophrenia

i are generic choices
they have so many amazing songs tbh
so it's hard to have an absolute choice

[Anxious]

I don't really feel like listening to anything by them anymore thats not Bad Moon Rising, Confusion is Sex or Sonic Nurse.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think Teen Age Riot is the only Sonic Youth song that's ever moved me. But that's based on like 3 albums. But still a bad ratio.

Finally bought the Butch Walker live album. They changed around the site a bit and now it's available to non-US residents :-D

Also got my full copy of Flogging Molly's new album today. After a couple of listens, it sounds like you'd expect a FM record to sound, except no pirate songs :(

[perriwinkle]

shuffle

[asdf]

Ruckus Roboticus - Playing With Scratches

[Robert Crumb]

Charles Mingus - Mingus Ah Um
The Monochrome Set - Strange Boutique

The only thing I've listened to for the past two days is 154 by Wire.

[perriwinkle]

James Brown - The Payback

[A Dead Modernist]

Tracy Chapman - Tracy Chapman
Grizzly Bear - Yellow House

Both albums have amazing vocals.

[perriwinkle]

yea The Knife is the best by far i think

[Zmev]

Thrice - Alchemy Index

Never really gave this a chance, and they're playing here with Pelican in a couple months so.

[br3ad_man]

That would be a good show.

[Zmev]

Circa Survive is gonna be there so.

[Iai]

So basically you're gonna arrive just after all the support acts finish, right.

Television - Marquee Moon
Daniel Johnston - Songs of Pain

[Bordello]

they didnt clip their guitar strings, man.

[Anxious]

Is that a female groin reference?

[Bordello]

it wasn't
but now it is

[Zmev]

So basically you're gonna arrive just after all the support acts finish, right.

I'm going to pretend its that gap of time in 2005 after The Fire in Our Throat Will Beckon The Thaw so Pelican play a lot of it and before Vheissu so Thrice don't play a lot of that.

[SafeAsMilk]

The Moldy Peaches. Though, I was surprised when I first saw Kimya Dawson; she sounds so much sweeter than she looks.
