What I've Been Digging Lately

[Little Man being Erased]

His most excellent album, you mean.

I like The Eminem Show too, haven't heard the new one or The Slim Shady LP.

[Tapeworm]

Been diggin' Mr Banks and the rest of the 'pol.

[malpractice9]

wheelz, br3ad man, sound boy, bandaid.. thanks for the warm welcome guys.
Notwist - "one with the freaks" is the song of choice at the moment.. a most terrific song, indeed.

[Doctor D.]

Minutemen
They Might Be Giants
Fishbone
Camper Van Beethoven (Key Lime Pie is so amazing)

[Zappa]

^Out of the rap rut. Good.

[zola_bola]

Erik B. & Rakim - Paid in Full

I don't know how many of you guys are into hip-hop and rap, but this album is classic and a definite must-have.

Malpractice9, I have to argue with you about best Nick Drake albums, and put Bryter Later on top. Of course every single one of his recordings are amazing, I enjoy the jazzy sounds and experimentation on his sophomore album.

Once again I encourage anyone who's into alt/indie rock to try and hunt down The Amazing Verticalville's album. I might get annoying pushing this CD, but they deserve more popularity, 'cause they just rock...so hard.

[Tomahawk]

Camper Van Beethoven (Key Lime Pie is so amazing)
Damn straight. Recognize.

[wheelz]

i'm digging ween - the mollusk, just because "mutilated lips" is on it. what a great song.

i personally came to know nick drake backwards (pink moon, bryter layter, five leaves), however after hearing that album i couldn't shake the heartache he felt over the lack of success of his previous albums. The other cds offer a more dynamic and intricate sound, but pink moon.. is just so real. I can't overlook the context. His defences have broken down and he's about to fall. His singing and guitar are both haunting and bare.
End point: all his cds are works of art.

current song: things behind the sun by drake

[wheelz]

it really is a shame he was never around to see how much people ended up appreciating his music.

[br3ad_man]

No problem. Great song you've got there too.

[Bandaid]

about 8 of Fu Manchu's albums

[KappaKid17]

I've been diggin' Blur a lot lately. Funny thing is that I've had about 3 of their albums for a good years, and never paid too much attention except to Parklife.

[baseline87]

I've been kicking out to the Zutons recently

[Doctor D.]

^Out of the rap rut. Good.

I still listen to it, allthough it's not what I listen to the most. Anymore.

Right now I'm digging a tribute to Lenord Cohen. John Cales version of Hallelujah is brilliant.

[el doctor]

Quasi. "Featuring Birds" is a wonderful blast of slightly rough indie pop.

[dkmaddog]

I bought the new TMV album today and just put it in. Sounds good thus far. Prior to this, I was listening to the new Robbers on High Street album, Tree City. I was very impressed by that one.

[Luxor]

The Unicorns, The Mars Volta, Trail Of Dead, Stars, Alexisonfire....

[AK47]

M83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us

[Bandaid]

got my first taste of the Afghan Whigs today, it tasted good

[wheelz]

i like bloc party.

also lately listening to mogwai and eits.

[Happymeal]

Ted Leo and the RX's Shake the Sheets is soo gooood.

[ffcbassest]

Ive been listening to a lot of incubus the new cd

[Bukowski]

Pavement, and Neutral Milk Hotel.

Amazon had these two bands top of the "Lo-Fi" section, an they'd received great reviews, so I decided to check them out.

After a few listens, I can now count these two albums among my best ever.
People, if you've not heard these bands, you really should check them out if you get a chance.

[Iai]

I have Crooked Rain Crooked Rain, Slanted & Enchanted, and In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. All of them are 3-star albums for me. Loads of people on here love them though.

Today I was digging Elton John's greatest hits, Rufus Wainwright's Want Two, and some Smiths. Suggest some stuff to listen to that will reinstall my masculinity and heterosexual leanings.

[wheelz]

morrissey - you are the quarry

[3rdplanet]

65 days of Static, mCbItching I must say.

Like EItS collide with something else, probably a keyboard with a stammer.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible, aswell as live tunes of their I've been picking up
Various Tchaikovsky, Wagner and Penderecki
Been re-getting into Alice in Chains, too.

[Electrocution]

I bought Frances the Mute and Kind of Blue yesterday...too much greatness. Of course, my Kind of Blue has a big-*** scratch on it (straight from the case, mind you) that causes Freeloader Freddy and Blue In Green to skip like a couple of biatches.

[pixiesfanyo]

Moon Safari lately.

[YDload]

Frances the Mute, of course.

[Happymeal]

^I heard it's cheap like De-Loused. I might buy it this weekend.

[Zappa]

You can send it to me on AIM when you get it, happy.

[Tapeworm]

^I heard it's cheap like De-Loused. I might buy it this weekend.
I got it yesterday for $15.90 AU. That is cheap as heck.

[pixiesfanyo]

Live at Mississippi Nights 100 - Mars Volta

Probably the best recorded show they've ever done.

[Happymeal]

You can send it to me on AIM when you get it, happy.

Sure Alex.

Brainiac's Bonsai Superstar leaves me in awe.

[Bandaid]

Who can hook me up with some Brainiac, i cant find any, im in Aus btw

G Love And Special Sauce

[darkavatar]

Harry and the Potters-Voldemort Can't Stop this Rock(cd)

a fairly local to Massachusetts band that plays pretty-soft rock on the topic of Harry Potter that plays in varius libraries and other functions to promote reading. They poke a little fun at the popular Harry Potter series. Currently, they are on tour in the UK.

[Bandaid]

Bandaid likes Mclusky :cool: good call

Brainiac is amazing but I don't have any on my computer

i dont see how anyone couldnt like Mclusky, but yes i have heard and are unable to find any so obviously i need to leech from someone. i have soulseek, but id be willing to get AIM for the specific purpose

Iggy & The Stooges - Raw Power
Dilated Peoples - The Platform
Van Morrison - Astral Weeks
Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

[Bartender]

Rufus Wainwright - Rufus Wainwright
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Love - Da Capo
Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica

4 for £20, you say?

I hope HMV is open tomorrow.

[Iai]

Yeah. Some awesome stuff in there, too. There was 3 other album I had to put back because I was short on time. Nick Drake, Dr. Dre, and something else I forget. But I'm going back soon. :)

They also have Opeth, Megadeth, and Judas Priest's entire back catalogues on sale, and The Arcade Fire's Funeral for £8.99.

I spotted all this in 10 minutes, so there's probably more awesome stuff.

[CSD & the Soul Machines]

Within the week I bought:

Kings of Leon-Aha Shake Heartbreak
TMV-Frances
Cursive-Burst and Bloom
Bright Eyes-Digital Ash

I enjoy them all but TMV has been in constant rotation for a couple days.

[mister mister]

Here Come the Clones is a great new album with really interesting beats. Imagine Cornelius and DJ Shadow with Sonic Youth and early Brian Eno. you should check it out at:
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/avipweinstein

[Luxor]

I'm listening to Echo And The Bunnymen.

[asymm]

I'm listening to Echo And The Bunnymen.
Right on. /pseudo-rep. Which album(s) ?

Today has been The Psychedelic Furs s/t debut and REM's Automatic for the People... had a hankering to listen to my records, so that's what it's been so far...

[Luxor]

I'm not sure, actually. I just decided to check them out, so I picked one at random and downloaded it.

[YDload]

I really liked the music in "Friday Night Lights." Explosions in the Sky have some great atmospheric music, and there are also lots of 80s hits. Like Public Enemy's version of "Bring the Noise" without Anthrax in it.

[NineBitFable]

oh my dear god.... I just got Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle...

it is so... so so so good. It's stupid good. If it was a woman, I'd be in love.

[Tomahawk]

That is a damn fine album.

[Well_Respected_Man]

For Today:
Blur
Morphine
Eric Dolphy
Wire
The Keith Trippet Group
Tortoise

[Awkward]

I just finished watching Live Aid and The Last Waltz so I've been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan.

[the kittens are attacking]

j mascis is coo

[Zappa]

I just finished watching Live Aid and The Last Waltz so I've been listening to a lot of Bob Dylan.

I think the songs that Dylan performs on The Last Waltz are probably my least favorite from the whole event, barring Neil Diamond (who I strongly dislike).

Crazy.

[br3ad_man]

Shpongle

[Tapeworm]

I'm umm listening to The Mars Volta.

[Tomahawk]

I'm very much digging the soundtrack to Taxi Driver. Awesome stuff.

[Bandaid]

[stop coming to my house]

ive become obsessed with secondsmile. please people check them out and let me know what you think...

www.purevolume.com/secondsmile

other than that, just my usual obsession with mogwai. and the juliana theory.

[Luxor]

I hate Interpol. But I have to admit, "Evil" is one amazing track. Too bad the rest of their stuff is monotonous and boring.

[Wanker]

That kinda came from left field.

[Little Man being Erased]

Well, I love Interpol, so poo to you.

*insert generic insults here*

[ATM]

Funkadelic is great.

[enfilade]

Feist - Let It Die

I just bought this album yesterday, and it's phenominal.

[TheSeeker625]

I've been listening to various Coldplay stuff recently, and I must say, they don't get nearly enough credit. They have a lot of great songs.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I've been cleaning my music collection and cds all today like a woman so I've come across alot of bands I haven't listened to in ages like The Breeders, Black Eyes, Q and Not U, and Beat Happening. Blur and Os Mutantes are my recent fetish.

I get to see Q And Not U this Thursday with Interpol :D

[Little Man being Erased]

You lucky bastard.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I bought:

The Mars Volta - Francis
The Apples in Stereo - Her Wallpaper Reveries

[Well_Respected_Man]

oh man, I forget bout them apples.

[Sound Boy]

song of the moment:
"Panacea" by Greyboy (a.k.a. Greyboy Allstars)

check it out..its an instrumental track but its really cool

[Ornery Cephalopod]

oh man, I forget bout them apples.

Yeah, this is the first Apples album I've heard. Pretty good, but I easily prefer the other major E6 chaps over this.

[biografiend]

Lots of acoustic for some reason

damien rice
iron & wine
erlend oye
belle and sebastian

[Interstate]

Lately i've been listening to:

Queens Of The Stone Age (for some stupid reason I've only just decided to start properly listening to them - downloaded 'Songs For The Deaf' last night - amazing!)

Jeff Buckley
The Futureheads
My Bloody Valentine
Nick Drake
Glassjaw

[Iai]

Can't wait for the new QOTSA album. Especially since Q compared it to The Afghan Whigs.

[pixiesfanyo]

Defacto - Megaton Shotblast
The Sound of Animals Fighting - Tiger and the Duke
Aphex Twin - Melodies from Mars

[milkandlaxatives]

i have been listening to A LOT of kenny wayne shepherd lately. with some police, stp, and pinback for good measure.

[EvilBen]

interpol!! great band, well for the 2 songs i know,
evil and slow hands

[talk show host]

Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Dizzee Rascal - Boy in da Corner
Calexico - Convict Pool

Those have been playing solidly for a few days now.

[Bartender]

I've been digging Jeff Beck today, for some reason. Mostly You Had it Coming.

[Iai]

Why for some reason? Jeff Beck is awesome.

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

A Dream in Sound - Elf Power

[Bartender]

Why for some reason? Jeff Beck is awesome.

Yeah, but I've had two of his albums for a couple of months now, and though I've listened to them, I've not really listened to them, if you see what I mean, and now I am, for no real reason. He is awesome, though. I like the contrast between his earlier albums and his later ones.

[el doctor]

I have an immense amount of repsect for Jeff Beck, especially after taking a chance with the recent "techno infused" albums of his.

[Sound Boy]

what are some really good Portishead songs?
i have Dummy. but anything else?

[Well_Respected_Man]

A Dream in Sound - Elf Power
Elf Power are annoying, I could never get into them. :-/

[Luxor]

I got Inches by Les Savy Fav today. I haven't listened to it yet, it better be good. :mad:

[biografiend]

Elf Power are annoying, I could never get into them. :-/

my friend met elf power while she was in georgia. i dont care for them either.

[Happymeal]

For the past few days I've listened to

Th Bronx - S/T
Death Cab - The Photo Album
Ratatat - S/T
Godflesh - Streetcleaner
Of Montreal - Satanic Panic in the Attic
Arab Strap - The Cunted Circus
Big Black - Songs About F ucking
Shellac - live in UK
Enchant - Tug of War

and I'm so engrossed with The Shape of Punk to Come.

[br3ad_man]

M83, Carcass and Slayer. As well as a bit of Trail of Dead. I need something to study maths to now though. hmmm

[3rdplanet]

Picked up the Mr. Bungle self titled CD the other day for a fiver, it is ownalicious.

[Bartender]

I have an immense amount of repsect for Jeff Beck, especially after taking a chance with the recent "techno infused" albums of his.

Yeah, they're incredibly good. Hasn't he made three of them? I only have the one, and I can't seem to find the others anywhere (though I really want Jeff, since "So What" was the first song I ever heard by him, and it's amazing).

Anyway, today's main dig-ables have been a little of Jesu's self-titled, and (mainly) Talking Heads More Songs About Buildings and Food. Finally dragged myself to that HMV sale, bought it (amongst other things), and since getting home I've been more or less captivated since the first track, which is unusual for me.

[Doctor D.]

I'm back on The Residents.

[vallely2004]

Recently I have been digging Soulwax alot, I got their first album today and been giving that a listen.

[Iai]

Wow, this avatar is like a contagious disease.

Good work everyone. :)

[Well_Respected_Man]

It's like a meem!

[Little Man being Erased]

The Faint. I've been learning to play "I Disappear" on bass. Fun stuff.

[asymm]

The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground
and
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
^I'm always listening to this one it seems...

[talk show host]

I don't care what my housemates say. Damien Rice is awesome.

[Little Man being Erased]

Damn straight.

[Zappa]

Metallica

[Little Man being Erased]

Wha...


I never pictured you as a Metallica kinda guy, Zap.

[Zappa]

Their first three albums are fantastic.

[YDload]

Herman's Hermits- "I'm Into Something Good"

If you know what movie this is from, you are :cool:

[talk show host]

'Tallica have written some classic songs in the past. Some of their stuff you just can't argue with. I stand by Master of Puppets and Enter Sandman as truly great songs.

[Bartender]

(Naked Gun, right?)

[YDload]

'Tallica have written some classic songs in the past. Some of their stuff you just can't argue with. I stand by Master of Puppets and Enter Sandman as truly great songs.

They have some good power ballads like "Fade to Black," but they also followed the live tradition of making songs to kick asses to. Like "Seek and Destroy," "Battery," or "Creeping Death."

[talk show host]

I only know Battery out of those last three you mentioned, which coincidentally is another good song. I'm not big on Metallica to be honest, I only know their 'hits'.

[Little Man being Erased]

I suppose I can admit that some of the old Metallica records are pretty good, but I've never really been a fan of metal in general (some exceptions aside).

[talk show host]

I suppose I can admit that some of the old Metallica records are pretty good, but I've never really been a fan of metal in general (some exceptions aside).

one, two and a big three.

[Zappa]

"Battery" is my favorite song of theirs, actually.

They only have a few bad songs on the first three albums. "Escape," "Anesthesia (Pulling Teeth)," and "Disposable Heroes" being those songs. I think Master of Puppets is their best album, but Ride the Lightning was my favorite through elementary and middle school.

I liked Escape because it showed their NWOBHM roots; nice and cheesy.

[talk show host]

Zappa and I have the exact same postcount! :o


Not anymore :p Unless he's posted recently.

[Zappa]

We do once more.

[Zappa]

No!

[talk show host]

Not really...:p

[Little Man being Erased]

crazy

[Zappa]

I wonder where THS and I would be if we were the same sorts of veterans that we are, but post-whores as well. Compared to most, we're pretty reserved.

[talk show host]

I wonder where THS and I would be if we were the same sorts of veterans that we are, but post-whores as well. Compared to most, we're pretty reserved.

Yeah, I still find it hard to believe that some people can get 8,000 posts in a few months.

[NineBitFable]

I recently decided to listen to SP's MCIS in its entirity... pretty cool, the songs that are bad (Scorched earth comes to mind..) dont stand out as much when thrown against such a huge number of good songs, and theres just such a variety that it never gets boring. Very cool.

[Wanker]

I've really been diggin' Hex by Bark Psychosis and a bunch of Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, and Fly Pan Am.

[malpractice9]

I just bought "a series of sneaks" by Spoon... and i'm just listening to it over and over and over and... great cd. Check their website out to listen to songs, especially "jonathan fisk". addictive

[Little Man being Erased]

Jonathon Fisk is a bloody brilliant song.

[br3ad_man]

I've been lsitening to David Bowie a lot

[talk show host]

I've been listening to Puggy a lot recently. They played at our university the other day and they were the best act i've seen play there. Live they sounded like a mellow Mr. Bungle with Jeff Buckley-esque vocals.

I'm listening to the studio versions now and they don't sound like that. It's still really good stuff though. www.puggyband.com

[pixiesfanyo]

The Decemberists - Her Majesty

[Robert Crumb]

The Minders and Charles Mingus. And a dose of Doom. MF Doom.

[el doctor]

I just bought "a series of sneaks" by Spoon... and i'm just listening to it over and over and over and... great cd. Check their website out to listen to songs, especially "jonathan fisk". addictive"Gimme Fiction" in only 2 months. :) Like tons of people said before every other Spoon full length, I'll be amazed if they don't become huge after the release.

Anyway, lately I've been listening to Jonathan Fire*Eater and Quasi.

[Iai]

Joy Division
Kraftwerk
Manic Street Preachers
Explosions In The Sky
Television
Talking Heads

....all of whom I'm going to rip off for my Music Tech coursework, so I figured I'd listen to them for ideas.

[sweboy]

I've been totally down with Bomb The Music Industry! lately. They are insane.

[Zappa]

The Minders and Charles Mingus. And a dose of Doom. MF Doom.

What Mingus?

[Robert Crumb]

What Mingus?

Mingus Ah Um. Absolutely enthralled by it. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

[Zappa]

The Black Saint And the Sinner Lady is my favorite of his.

[Bartender]

Picked up Faith No More's Album of the Year today, amongst others. So far that's all I've had time to really listen to today :-/

Yeah, I went back to that HMV sale :(

[YDload]

The answer was "The Naked Gun," by the way. That's where the song "I'm Into Something Good" by Herman's Hermits came from (or where I heard it anyway).

[asymm]

recently... Prosaics - "Aghast Agape EP". It's pretty decent stuff. Definitely influenced by Joy Division's famous production but with a slicker sheen and the music follows accordingly with the angular/post-punk vibe.

[br3ad_man]

Bloc Party is what I've been listening to today. I'm inconvenienced to no end by the fact that my v-amp has died.

[Smackers]

I've gotten back into my Mogwai phase again. But I've also begun to listen to Sunn O))).

[Iai]

Yeah, I went back to that HMV sale :(
I'm going back this Friday. It's conveniently on the way to the NHS walk-in clinic.

[talk show host]

I've gotten back into my Mogwai phase again. But I've also begun to listen to Sunn O))).

I listened to Mogwai for hours yesterday. Not bad.

The only thing i've listened to today so far is part of Damien Rice - O

[Jallaman]

Conor Oberst (most bright eyes and desaparecidos)
Elliott Smith
Bloc Party

[asymm]

today has been:

The Cure Pornography
and
Mission of Burma - Vs.

[Bukowski]

It's been a Pink Floyd day for me.

[ATM]

http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0Z4NNFYCDP5W22Z369B15RL4C1

[Jam2Me]

311, the From Chaos album.

[Bartender]

I'm going back this Friday. It's conveniently on the way to the NHS walk-in clinic.

I think I'm going back later on, as a kind of excuse to meet up with a friend back in Newcastle. Also, why are you going to the walk-in clinic?

On topic, I haven't really listened to much music today. My mp3 player was out of batteries, and I've been playing on my newly fixed PS2 otherwise.

[Iai]

Also, why are you going to the walk-in clinic?
A couple of friends are pressuring me to, because of a big burn wound I've got on my hand. (I spilt coffee over myself last Thursday.) Just making sure it's not infected, or whatever.

I figure I've got more chance of catching a disease if I go.

[blueone]

At the moment, I've been really diggin one of the new 'Bright Eyes' albums. the 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning' one.

A cross between Damien Rice and Ryan Adams :D

[Zappa]

Elliott Smith
Beck
Afrika Bambaataa
Shpongle
NoMeansNo
Frank Zappa
Nicholas Payton

That's what I've had playing today.

[talk show host]

I'm seriously in love with Calexico - Convict Pool at the moment.

I've just dug out the ol' Dredg - El Cielo too. I don't know why I haven't listened to this for so long :-/ So i'm diggin this too

[Bartender]

I figure I've got more chance of catching a disease if I go.

But it gives you an excuse to stop by HMV's sale again.

NP Grateful Dead, so I suppose you could say I'm digging them.

[Zappa]

Elliott Smith
Beck
Afrika Bambaataa
Shpongle
NoMeansNo
Frank Zappa
Nicholas Payton

That's what I've had playing today.

Man, I'm a moody mother****er.

[talk show host]

Man, I'm a moody mother****er

You should bring some joy into your life and listen to Bjork :p

[Zappa]

I just mean that I listen to some weird combinations of ****. I mean, up to Afrika Bambaataa and down to Elliott Smith is quite a contrast of mood.

[Little Man being Erased]

I finally saw 24 Hour Party People the other night and now all I want to do is listen to Joy Division.

[talk show host]

They have that at the rental place down the road from me. I keep meaning to get it out, but I never seem to.

[Little Man being Erased]

You should get it, it's very good.

[Iai]

I was wondering, Afrika Bambaata and Sphongle, moody?

Does moody mean something different in America then? Here it generally means depressive.

Anyway, today I had a mainly post-punk day, because I basically gutted my coursework, ripped it all apart, and redid it from scratch. My post-rock version of a Smiths song has now become a post-punk version of Black Velvet by Alannah Myles. Think about it - references to 'molasses' and 'a new religion'? This is practically a Radiohead song!

And that paragraph was wierdly YDLoad-esque.

Anyway.

Joy Division - Permanent
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine
Depeche Mode - Violator
The Cure - Disintegration
Talking Heads - Remain In Light

And some assorted Gang Of Four and Magazine, and even a little Can.

[Zappa]

I meant that my mood swings a lot. There was less than an hour between rockin' out to Bam and being gentle with Elliott.

Oh I see.

But only in the paragraph that wasn't like you! That was my own incompetence!

[el doctor]

I've been listening to what I assume to be a legit version of "Suspended Animation" from Fantomas.

K-os : "Joyful Rebellion", specifically the songs Crucial, Commandante, Clap Your Hands, One Blood, Neurotronics, and ( my favorite) Papercuts.
this was the first hip hop album i ever bought, which i purchased on a whim after hearing a handful of songs from Exit. I always was "anti" - rap, and thus closed myself off to anything similar. But listen to the songs i mentioned (go to his website); instruments, singing, smart lyrics - the guy has talent (the cds not flawless, however its very good). Yes, its over played, but there are gems i tell ya, GEMS.

[corporalclegg]

Found my old Mad Season "Above" album, a timeless classic...

[talk show host]

So far today:

Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Eliott Smith - From a Basement on the Hill
Erland Oye - DJ Kicks

First time listening to all three. Nick Drake was awesome. Eliott Smith was a lot more rocking than I imagined it would be, and Erland Oye is just making me dance.

[Bartender]

I've been meaning to look for DJ Kicks for a while now, thanks for reminding me.

I'm digging the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack, again. It's unreal how much I love these songs.

Have you heard the original, or just the orchestral reading?

I still haven't heard how you like Shpongle yet. You never seem to log onto AIM.

[malpractice9]

currently listening to ..Bloc Party - "this modern love", and "like eating glass"
and i just bought Thievery Corporation - "the cosmic game" ... superior lounge/psychedelic/atmosphere music.

[YDload]

I'm listening to AFI- Days of the Phoenix now. I feel like such a wuss, but I can't help it! There's so little punk music with good vocals.

[The Ashtray Girl]

The Beatles - The White Album (lol, i know)


You know what? That they are gods?

The Beatles, my friend, are no laughing matter.

[the low end theorist]

Ok so heres a semi-new idea for a thread. Basically, you just post what ever song,album or artist you have really been liking at the moment. If it's a new band you could put a little bit about them, good songs etc...

So if this works well enough, we could maybe get it sticky'd ( Nacho? ).

Well, a cool new(ish) band I've been listening to alot lately is These Arms Are Snakes . They are a post-hardcore,art punky band who have one EP out called This is Mean to Hurt You.

Good songs to check out would be:

The Blue Rose
Drinking From the Necks of Loved Ones
Run it Through the Dog
Riding the Grape Dragon

---------------------------------------

I have been listening to Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps alot lately and have come to the conclusion that it is my favourite Neil Young album. Definately check it out!

---------------------------------------

Television - Friction is one incredible song. Ahead of it's time.


If you guys think this is a shitty idea for a thread just say so. If not, update with new stuff whenever you feel the need.
these arms are snakes are a great band-i just recently discovered them. they played here back in november with isis-who i'm also into atm. i missed the show however :upset:

[asymm]

I still haven't heard how you like Shpongle yet. You never seem to log onto AIM.
Yeah, I very infrequently use AIM. When I do, you've been away all the times I've noticed.

Well the Shpongle actually didn't intrigue me nearly as much as I had hoped. Maybe my expectations were too high or something, but I just couldn't get into it.

[br3ad_man]

:( (this is messed up)

What? All of those bands except Bright Eyes, My Chemical Romance and Green Day are wicked.

[Happymeal]

The Arcade Fire's EP and CTTS's As the Roots Undo.

[br3ad_man]

I need to hear that EP. As The Roots Undo owns as well, been listening to it a bit lately.

[Bandaid]

Have you heard the original, or just the orchestral reading?

The version on Yellow Shark, the orchestral arrangement. I think its fantastic.
Can you describe the original?

[Luxor]

I need to hear that EP. As The Roots Undo owns as well, been listening to it a bit lately.
The EP's quite different. Reminds me of Death Cab.

[Zappa]

The version on Yellow Shark, the orchestral arrangement. I think its fantastic.
Can you describe the original?

It was scored on Zappa's weapon of choice in the late 80s and the early 90s especially, the Synclavier DMS. Therefore, it's all electronic, possessing some pretty crazy timbres. The Ensemble Modern actually slowed the piece down in spots (one in particular, anyway), and the orchestral arrangement loses some of the intensity because it doesn't have the crazy blips and bleeps of the Synclavier arrangement. However, it has a certain energy that only real players can inject.

[Bandaid]

Sound like im definately going to have to look into it, im thoroughly enjoying Yellow Shark by the way

[the low end theorist]

Endtroducing - DJ Shadow
ah yes-dj shadow- i was listening to that album the other night at work-it's SO amazing!! unkle is also pretty good.

[pinkyeti]

What? All of those bands except Bright Eyes, My Chemical Romance and Green Day are wicked.
