What I've Been Digging Lately

[asymm]

Also been digging American Music Club. I got their album Everclear, and it's brilliant, I recommend it to one and all.
/pseudo-rep for AMC love

Currently:
Akron/Family - Gorgeous self-titled psych-folk release. I'm really enjoying it so far.

[Little Man being Erased]

So I got some Kyuss a week or so ago and I have to say, not very impressed. I mean, it's OK but it's no QOTSA.

QOTSA>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kyuss.

[br3ad_man]

Well, obviously...

[Little Man being Erased]

Oh well... :(

[Doctor D.]

Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm Machine
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
Living Colour - 4 Never Satisfied Freinds
Quasimoto - The Unseen
The Dwarves - The Dwarves Are Young And Good Looking and The Dwarves Must Die

[el doctor]

Fantomas - Suspended Animation
What do you think of that so far? The Bugs Bunny sample at the end makes my list of greatest album closers.

As for me:

Red Sparowes - At the Soundless Dawn
Beck - Guero
Saturday Looks Good To Me - Every Night

[Luxor]

So I got some Kyuss a week or so ago and I have to say, not very impressed. I mean, it's OK but it's no QOTSA.

QOTSA>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kyuss.
Yeah, they're pretty bad.

I'm listening to Devo right now... and it's putting me in a good mood.

[Tomahawk]

Kyuss are awesome, they're just different from QOTSA. Both bands rawk in different ways.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm Machine

Isn't it Worker?

[Little Man being Erased]

Nope.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

So I got some QOTSA a week or so ago and I have to say, not very impressed. I mean, it's OK but it's no Kyuss.

Kyuss>>>>>>>>>>>>>QOTSA.

Fixed that mistake for you...

[Little Man being Erased]

Fixed that mistake for you...
I don't think so. I just don't really see what's so great about Kyuss. Maybe I'll like them after more listening. I can't see myself ever liking them as much as QOTSA though.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I don't think so. I just don't really see what's so great about Kyuss. Maybe I'll like them after more listening. I can't see myself ever liking them as much as QOTSA though.

Nah, I kid. I've only heard a few QOTSA songs, so I can't really judge.

But those few songs made me feel pretty much the exact opposite of what you're saying.

[Little Man being Erased]

You're missin' out. Listen to Songs for the Deaf.

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to The Replacements, Refused and Mogwai. I'm going to listen to Lightning Bolt soon and I really want to hear the new Fantomas. Fantomas are the best thing ever when it's the first time you hear them.

[pixiesfanyo]

Death Cab For Cutie - Something About Airplanes

[Macdaddy]

Evermore

[Doctor D.]

What do you think of that so far? The Bugs Bunny sample at the end makes my list of greatest album closers.



I absolutely adore it. And yes, it is an amazing album closer.


Kill da wabbit.

[Distorted Vision]

I need to get that Fantomas Cd but I don't know if it's out here yet.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Yeah, they're pretty bad.

I'm listening to Devo right now... and it's putting me in a good mood.

yep, Devo has that effect.

[el doctor]

I need to get that Fantomas Cd but I don't know if it's out here yet.As far as I know, it comes out April 5. We're just dirty, filthy people that get music before it's out.

[Electrocution]

As far as I know, it comes out April 5. We're just dirty, filthy people that get music before it's out.
*October

[Iai]

I'm digging Million Dead.

I tried digging Animals by Pink Floyd earlier, after seeing it's the only one Zappa really likes. Of all the Floyd albums I've heard, it's the worst. I also listened to a John Williams album, and it was really boring.

I've also dug Wu-Tang and Jean Michel Jarre recently.

[Bartender]

Which John Williams?

[Iai]

The guitarist. The album was called Magic Box.

I'm gonna change avatar, this is way too confusing.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm diggin' some white boy rap at the moment. Eminem and The Streets.

[Iai]

And look who appears just at the right time....

[Little Man being Erased]

Hehe. Nice.

[Little Man being Erased]

There we go.

[Iai]

Nice doing business with ya. :)

[Little Man being Erased]

Look at all them Bills.

[Iai]

This is Hobbiton, and I am Bilbo Hicks.

The Pogues are so good.

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

wow i thought it was the same person posting this whole time..

The Secret Of Elena's Tomb EP - Trail of Dead

ive been listening to it for about 3 days straight

[asymm]

Ack, this thievery is madness!

Hrmm... today-
Angels of Light - Sing "Other People"
Akron/Family - Akron/Family

[br3ad_man]

Digging the new albums from Fantomas and Alec Empire. I've only just started the new Fantomas but its cool.

[Luxor]

Bought Endtroducing today, HMV had it at an awesome price... Such a great album.

[Swami]

The Detachment Kit.

These guys are quite cool.

[asymm]

The Detachment Kit.

These guys are quite cool.

I'm kinda surprised you like them, I never was very interested in their output.

[Happymeal]

Kayo Dot still, in addition to

No Knife - Fire in the City of Automatons
Basement Jaxx - Remedy
Xenogears OST

[Doctor D.]

Found a copy of The Residents - "Animal Lover" floating around the internet. I snatched it up...and woah. Thats just judging by the first two songs.

[Robert Crumb]

Xenogears OST

I liked that game, don't remember the soundtrack though.

[Happymeal]

It's my favorite RPG, and Square's best story methinks. The soundtrack's not as engaging as Chrono Cross', but it brings back a lot of memories. Ah nostalgia.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I sadly haven't played Xenogears yet. But I must say, Xenosaga was the most overrated hunk of game I've ever played.

I'm spinning Superunknown by Soundgarden, I always forget how much I dig them. So much better than the other "grunge" peeps they get grouped with (even though I do like some of those peeps).

[Well_Respected_Man]

Why Didn't someone tell me how good Beck's Odelay is?

[br3ad_man]

I think a few people probably have.

The new Decemberists album is wicked, I'm loving it right now thanks to Tangy/Swami. I'm also liking Elbow's latest album.

[YDload]

Why Didn't someone tell me how good Beck's Odelay is?

I did, but my musical taste is not to be trusted.

[Bartender]

I've been listening through my lastest haul for most of today. Best of the bunch;

Talking Heads - Fear of Music
Talking Heads - Speaking in Tongues
Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
Leftover Crack - **** World Trade

Haven't yet listened to Guero, though.

[Electrocution]

Leftover Crack - **** World Trade
:thumb:

[Luxor]

Choking Victim > Leftover Crack.

[Little Man being Erased]

Haven't yet listened to Guero, though.
Listen to it and tell me if it's worth buying. I heard bits of it in a record store last week and thought it sounded pretty good.

[UltimaTap]

I've been listening to A Minor Forest and stuff like Cap'n Jazz, Joan of Arc, American Football, and June of 44.

[Smackers]

Estradasphere.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Wildhearts Strike Back

[Bartender]

^Great album. Some of the songs (like Girlfriend Clothes) are so good to hear played live, mostly since I've not heard them live in person before. I'm not sure if it's the best live record they've done, though.

Listen to it and tell me if it's worth buying. I heard bits of it in a record store last week and thought it sounded pretty good.

Going from the intro and first verse of the first track; it is, very much so. I'll get back to you tomorrow with a more detailed take on it, though.

[Happymeal]

Polvo - Today's Active Lifestyles
The Decemberists - Picaresque
Agalloch - The Mantle

Choking Victim > Leftover Crack.

True story.

[Bartender]

Maybe so, but Leftover Crack seem to be a lot more easily available, which influences what I buy quite heavily. And **** World Trade is a good album regardless.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm not sure if it's the best live record they've done, though.

Yeah, Ginger's voice seems alot better on some of the bootlegs I have, and the mixing on some of the songs is questionable. The lead guitar on Vanilla Radio is inaudible at best.

[Bartender]

Yeah (though I only have one bootleg :-/). The choice of material is pretty good though, and I can't fault the cover art at all.

[asymm]

Picked it up today:

Prefuse 73 - Surrounded By Silence

[Tomahawk]

Listen to it and tell me if it's worth buying. I heard bits of it in a record store last week and thought it sounded pretty good.
I don't like it, I actually regret buying it.

But a couple of other people I've talked to think it's great, so whatever, you might like it.

[Little Man being Erased]

Hmmmmm. Thanks for making my decision no easier. :)

[malpractice9]

listened to the Echoes cd by the Rapture.. lovin that to bits.
also gave QOTSA's SFTD a spin to prep myself for L2P.

currently: Radiohead - Climbing up the walls.. lordy lordy, this song haunts me.. incredible

Niceness. Two thumbs up.

[malpractice9]

a-thank ya LMBE!
myxamatosis just came on my playlist:
"don't know why i feel so skinned ... alive"

[Little Man being Erased]

Ahh... man I haven't listened to that album in aaaaaages.

[malpractice9]

mmmm radiohead binge
*takes another hit

[Bandaid]

Im binging on what seems to be the current indie forum darling, The Decemberists - Picaresque

[Bartender]

Going from the intro and first verse of the first track; it is, very much so. I'll get back to you tomorrow with a more detailed take on it, though.

I've listened through it a couple of times now, without skipping anything..as far as I can tell, he hasn't put a foot wrong throughout the whole thing. Listening to it further might reveal weaknesses in replay value, but first impressions are very good, though, if you like Sea Change Beck more than Odelay! Beck, you might be disappointed, I suppose. It's a lot closer to the hip hop-influenced, good-times-all-round thing he had going earlier on, than it is the singer-songwriter. And going by Tomahawk's reaction, it's possible that it's just bad, and I'm just initially misjudging it somehow.

[The Ashtray Girl]

^That's good enough for me

~puts it on the to-buy list~

[Tomahawk]

Digging:

They Might Be Giants
American Music Club
Afghan Whigs
Husker Du
Mercury Rev

[The Ashtray Girl]

Digging:

Mercury Rev

:thumb::thumb:

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yeah (though I only have one bootleg :-/). The choice of material is pretty good though, and I can't fault the cover art at all.

True, and the performances of Nina Nitro, Caffeine Bomb, O.C.D., Head****, Cheers and Girlfriend Clothes are all outstanding.

[Electrocution]

I finally got around to giving Funeral a good listen (very late, I know). I like it.

Good enough for me too. I sure am gonna get this one.

[Swami]

Well I've got Trans Am/****ing Champs tonite, so I've been rockin IV, V and Surrender to the Light all day.

Kablaam!

[Well_Respected_Man]

I Like The Monks.

It's Monk Time.

[Bartender]

For now I'm listening to the B-52s self-titled, and enjoying it though I am, I think I may die from an overdose of stupid.

[Robert Crumb]

I Like The Monks.

It's Monk Time.

My friend gave me a TMBG c.d. and ****, they're pretty okay. Like the M.R. as well.
Lately I've been digging a lot of: The Libertines, The Strokes, The Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, and The Kinks.

[malpractice9]

going to the store to buy :
stars : set yourself on fire
the walkmen : bows + arrows
the shins : oh, inverted world
the shins : chutes too narrow

my wallet is soon to be anorexic

wow, "the past and pending" by the shins is terribly incredible

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Official Dagage:
Comets on Fire - Hazy Field Recordings


You mean Field Recordings from the Sun? Did you mess up again (after the The Monks blunder), or is that some similarly titled release I'm not aware of?

But whatever, I just finished listening to Blue Cathedral, and they finally clicked with me. Greeeaat stuff. I'll probably spin it again later to celebrate the clickingness.

I've also been diggin' on GYBE lately. Lift Yr. Fists and Slow Riot.

[Iai]

I'm digging The Pixies today. I'm making CDs for my friends before we go to Reading, so that they know a bit about each band before they decide who to see. So I figured I'd indulge myself, too.

Tonight = Iron Maiden.

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to The Killers. What fun.

[Iai]

Who, funnily enough, will appear at Reading right before The Pixies.

Luckily all my friends already have their album, so I won't need to copy that one for anybody.

[br3ad_man]

I hear they suck live.

[Iai]

Probably.

They sucked on The OC, although they were nice enough to play quieter whenever someone wanted to talk.

[br3ad_man]

Are you going to watch them? Let me know how they are if you do.

[Iai]

I probably will do, even if just for a good spot during The Pixies.

Depends who's on the other stages.

[br3ad_man]

British festivals make me hang my head in shame in comparison to Big Day Out.

[Iai]

What's the BDO lineup like, then?

[Tomahawk]

This years BDO had the Polyphonic Spree, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Beastie Boys, The Streets, Atmosphere, The Hives, and some others. And I had an awesome time.

Of course Australia isn't going to get as many good bands as Britain, but it was still well worth my money.

[Iai]

Seen the Polyphonic Spree. Amazing live band.

Also seen The Streets, who are the worst live act I've ever seen.

[Tomahawk]

Wow, the worst? I thought they were alright. Nothing special, but watchable. I didn't see their whole set though.

[Iai]

Yup. Easily the worst.

I've also seen the Libertines. And Junior Senior.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Seen the Polyphonic Spree. Amazing live band.

Also seen The Streets, who are the worst live act I've ever seen.

i hear that about him, but bad live or not, i love his albums.

[Iai]

Don't get me wrong, I like him on record. He just sucks live.

Kinda like an inverse Mars Volta.

[Arrakakaka]

Tool - "Aenima"

I finally got it..

[Happymeal]

Today I rediscovered Of Montreal and Beulah, and they are coolness.

[Swami]

Trans Am/ ****ing Champs (w/ sneaks) was SO good last night.

You people are dead

[Dave de Sylvia]

Butch Mother****ing Walker

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Discovering/re-digging some stoner rock/metal and similar stuff:

Kyuss
Trouble
Clutch
Corrosion of Conformity
Electric Wizard
Melvins
Sleep

Mmm....

[Bandaid]

you really need some Fu Manchu in that list

[Ornery Cephalopod]

you really need some Fu Manchu in that list

Yeah, they're on my list of 'More stoner stuff to check out soon'

[Iai]

I'm digging Phil Spector. Just downloading CDs 1 and 4 of Back To Mono.

[Tomahawk]

I'm digging him too actually, you mentioning him in that association thread put me in a Spector mood. Back to Mono is great, although the 4th disc is just Christmas songs, and I never bothered to download it.

And also in the classic pop vein, I'm digging some Burt Bacharach stuff. Dionne Warwick, etc.

[Iai]

Haha, the Christmas theme was what drew me to it.

[Luxor]

Lightning Bolt
Elliott Smith
Stars
DJ Shadow
Weezer
Radiohead

...Is what I've listened to in the past two days.

[el doctor]

Saturday Looks Good to Me

[NineBitFable]

Guided by Voices- Bee Thousand is what I've been digging... very very good stuff... I thought the songs would be to fragmented for me, but it turns out it doesnt bother me too much.

[corporalclegg]

Saratoga by Paul K & the Prayers. Just good rock music.

[Zappa]

Black Fire by Andrew Hill
3 Compositions of New Jazz by Anthony Braxton

[Little Man being Erased]

I've been listening to The Streets and Radiohead the last couple of days.

And today I got:
Explosions in the Sky - The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place, and;
Beck - Guero.

Currently listening to Guero for the first time, so far sounds very good.

[Electrocution]

I've been listening to Converge a lot. A lot a lot.

[Sho]

John Lennon
The Who
Truxton
Ted Leo

[Dave de Sylvia]

Got the GaGa's album today, listening through for the 3rd time. :thumb:

[Bartender]

Beck - Guero.

Currently listening to Guero for the first time, so far sounds very good.

Hope I didn't lead you too far wrong with it :-/


Finally got some Jesu.

Diggin' x10

What did you get? Glad you like it, anyway.

Personally I have no new digging news; still mostly that Elvis Costello album.

[Robert Crumb]

B.I.G. and Roxy Music. I don't know what compelled me to spin Ready To Die but it made my day better.

[Little Man being Erased]

Hope I didn't lead you too far wrong with it :-/
Not at all, I'm sure.

I like it.



I just finished listening to The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place for the second time and all I have to say is HOT DANG!! this band is great.

[Iai]

For the last hour, John Coltrane's Giant Steps.

Wow.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Our Lady Peace - Happiness Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch

[Zappa]

For the last hour, John Coltrane's Giant Steps.

Wow.

Good stuff.

[NineBitFable]

DJ Spooky, Guided by voices and Sebadoh

I'm really digging DJ Spookys Optometry... Very cool.

[DonMancini]

I took out good old Yann Tiersen's Amélie soundtrack today again, and goddamm.. I really, really love that album. Definitely my favorite.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

What did you get? Glad you like it, anyway.


The self-titled. I'm glad too.

oooh I am liking, how did you come across this? :cool:

[Bandaid]

revisting my RATM fetish

[Luxor]

I just listened to DJ Shadow... and now I feel like some Slint.

[asymm]

Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights"

This really is a brilliant debut, I still love it's atmosphere and the semi-nostalgia of its sound for me and especially considering my old (and only) band did a cover of Obstacle 1.

[vallely2004]

Today I have been listening to:

Mark Lanegan
PJ Harvey
Radiohead

[myiaa]

oooh I am liking, how did you come across this? :cool:
They were mentioned on the Xiu Xiu forums :fangirl: :upset:

They don't even have a record out yet, but I think I have to get it when it comes out.

:cool: Glad you liked it.

[Distorted Vision]

Today I downloaded:

Slint - Spiderland
Do Make Say Think - Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn
Jesu - Jesu

I have yet to listen to Jesu, but the others are good. Slint were a lot different to what I expected.

I've been in a bit of a post-rock mood today - I went to sleep and awoke to Godspeed's 'Lift Yr Skinny Fists...'

[Dave de Sylvia]

Johnny Cash. Wow. :cool:

[vallely2004]

They were mentioned on the Xiu Xiu forums :fangirl: :upset:

They don't even have a record out yet, but I think I have to get it when it comes out.

:cool: Glad you liked it.

Noice, perhaps I better check out Xiu Xiu aswell, any recommendations?

[The Reincarnation Of Hendrix]

I've really been digging The Fall recentl. I love songs like Mr Pharmacist and the one about Sparta FC!! They have a really original style

[Butch Walker]

I'm listening to my namesake as we speak, I've also been digging Rufus Wainwright for the past couple of hours, which is distracting me from my work. :eek:

[Happymeal]

I'm currently into

Calla and The Walkmen split EP
Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
Crassss - ***** Envy

[Aramis]

Lately I've been listening to some Broken Social Scene and Elefant. It's fun to listen to while driving in overcast weather.

[Tomahawk]

I got Rumours by Fleetwood Mac yesterday, and that's been my main dig. I was kind of ignorant about them, so I was surprised when I found out that I already knew about half the songs on the album.

[Iai]

Great album, that.

[Electrocution]

revisting my RATM fetish
Me too. And Saetia.

[Happymeal]

The new Jaga Jazzist is awesomeness.

Everyone should listen to "Oslo Skyline".

[Swami]

Ahem, they're now called simply "Jaga".

[Wanker]

Ahem, they're now called simply "Jaga".

Thanks, mister.

[br3ad_man]

I need new music, almost everything I'm listening to seems stale.

*makes thread*

[Swami]

Get some Cougars into ya'.

That and Trans Am.

YES!

[Iai]

Bilal - 1st Born Second
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Suede - Singles

[NineBitFable]

Husker Du- New Day Rising (Easily just as good as Zen Arcade... noone seems to ever accept that, however)

[mr_jackalope]

I'm revisiting my Yo La Tengo and Velvet Underground obsessions. Good times.

[Zappa]

Cannonball Adderley Quintet - Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at the Club

[Butch Walker]

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

Outstanding. :cool:

I'm listening to the new Val Emmich CD I got.
I've also been listening to the Replacements/Westerberg and the Manics.

[YDload]

We're studying the Modernist and Post-Modernist movement in History/Western Humanities class, and the professor played a little Stravinsky called "Rite of Spring." The string section started playing the same harsh note over and over again and everyone thought the record skipped, so the prof. turned if off.

But now nobody has any idea if the record was skipping, or if that was part of the piece. I mean, the teacher said before that the piece was very dark and primitive, and it caused a riot when it was first performed, so I was ready for anything. Zappa, could you shed some light on this?

[Zappa]

How far into the piece are we talking? If you know about how long it took before this started, to you also know if he played it from the first movement? The first movement of the pieces is a bassoon solo. It's a 37 minute work, so it's hard for me to pinpoint whether what you're describing is a skip or not without some more qualification of where to look.

[YDload]

I have no idea; I guess it's some kind of excerpt because the focus was on syncopation and it started out with most of a full orchestra playing, only on the unaccented beats instead.

[Zappa]

I bet it was skipping.

The piece definitely has a certain harshness to it, but by today's standards it's pretty melodious.

[Iai]

Like most Stravinsky.

Sounds like a skip to me. I can't think of anywhere in the work it does that, offhand.

[asymm]

Re-listening to some of the Black Dice vinyl I have... it's been oddly relaxing

[malpractice9]

the Notwist - consequence

[br3ad_man]

Some of my older stuff, like the Smashing Pumpkins and Tool. Also the new Decemberists album, new Moby album and Brian Eno.

[crazy 88]

Pinkerton-Weezer
Doolittle-Pixies

Stoned & Dethroned-Jesus & Mary Chain

[Butch Walker]

An 80's Alternative mix
New Decemberists
Bonnie Prince Billy

[Bartender]

Just been enjoying my first couple of listens to California, and I've been digging it. Vanity Fair is an awesome song.

[Zappa]

"Vanity Fair" is the best Mr. Bungle song.

[Bartender]

Well as much as I like his vocal versatility, my favourite Patton-related songs are always those that he really sings on. And Vanity Fair is an excellent example of such a song, so yeah.

[Doctor D.]

Crispen Glover is one odd man. Recorded one helluva album though. Craziest thing I've heard in a while.

[Bartender]

I went through a big of a Crispin Glover (movie) phase several months ago; watched many, liked most of them, and discovered whilst reading around that he'd recorded an album or two as well. And I'd completely forgotten my intention to check them out, until now. So thanks :)

[YDload]

TV on the Radio- Ambulance.
Jethro Tull- Aqualung.
Velvet Revolver- Dirty Little Things. (it was on Leno last night)

[Butch Walker]

Velvet Revolver- Dirty Little Things. (it was on Leno last night)

I'm watching the video of it from Leno now. It wasn't a great performance. :(

[YDload]

I'm watching the video of it from Leno now. It wasn't a great performance. :(

Other than Scott Weiland looking like Jack Skellington, I thought it was nice to see a rock band with some charisma for a change. Even if it meant taking a page from Mick Jagger/Iggy Pop's frontman playbook.

[Swami]

Depeche Mode - Violator - an old favourite. Best songs include; Enjoy the Silence, Blue Dress, Halo, Personal Jesus.
Isis - Celesial: This shît will blow your mind. Taking you on a journey of intergalactic proportions. A very rewarding listen. Check out 'Celestial (the Tower)', 'Glisten' 'Cft'.
Dillinger Escape Plan - 'Miss Machine': I've really started getting back into this again after seeing them recently. Check out 'Panasonic Youth', 'Sunshine the Werewolf', 'Phone Home'. Math metal at it's epileptic peak.
Leftover Crack - Fück World Trade: Ska, black metal, punk-rawk; all you need. Check out 'Clear Channel' [Fück Off!] and 'Gang Control'. RIP Brandon (ex-drummer)
Kid 606 - KillSoundBeforeSoundKillsYou: For fans of Aphex Twin, Chris Clarke etc. Completely crazy glitch/IDM.
I've also been diggin abit of Bright Eyes after seein him support REM a week ago.

"Other than Scott Weiland looking like Jack Skellington, I thought it was nice to see a rock band with some charisma for a change. Even if it meant taking a page from Mick Jagger/Iggy Pop's frontman playbook"

Scott Weiland's been doing that for years. Pity Velvet Revolver are boring radio-rock. A total shame, considering Guns N' Roses are one of my favourite bands. In the media VR claim to be 'the most dangerous band in the world'; when it's all just watered down and sugar-coated. Disappointing...except when I met Slash when they came out. The record is poor, but live they were very good. [hint hint: Getting to see Slash and Duff...]

[br3ad_man]

Good to finally see you back here man. You should post in A&I more.

I've just been listening to Explosions In The Sky and Queens of the Stone Age with my friend.

[el doctor]

Black Mountain
I'm surprised they haven't gotten noticed more here. That happens to be one of my favorite releases of 2005... so far at least.

I was listening to Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" last night. It's been such a long time since I last heard it, and I forgot how incredible it really is.

[asymm]

{In Regards to Black Mountain} I'm surprised they haven't gotten noticed more here. That happens to be one of my favorite releases of 2005... so far at least.


Maybe I haven't heard enough or something, but what I have heard has been pretty bland and not quite interesting enough to warrant my cash.

[el doctor]

The album really works off on borrowing ideas and sounds, which can consequently cause it to come off as bland. I happen to find it to be an enjoyable listen though.

[ZEROthirtythree]

50 Cent

I like his new cd. I'm digging "Disco Inferno" and "Piggy Bank"

[Happymeal]

Black Mountain's s/t is very good. asymm, I'm guessing you've only heard "Druganaut"?

Calexico's The Black Night and Feast of Wire right now. By golly they're fantastic.

The Evens - The Evens

Fans of "The Argument" and "Instrument" would do well to peep this.

[Butch Walker]

Other than Scott Weiland looking like Jack Skellington, I thought it was nice to see a rock band with some charisma for a change. Even if it meant taking a page from Mick Jagger/Iggy Pop's frontman playbook.

Yeah, he seems to be every charismatic frontman between the 60's and the 80's.

[Iai]

That's about the best description of Scott Weiland ever. Totally true.

On a vaguely related note, I saw a covers band last night, and they murdered Interstate Love Song so badly I think I'm gonna have trouble listening to it in the near future. Zep's Immigrant Song, too. Ah well, at least they cleared out the bar so I could get a drink without having to wait.

[asymm]

Leonard Cohen's "Songs of Love and Hate"

[Bartender]

Martin Grech - Open Heart Zoo

I remember I was going to ask if you'd review that, before Sputnik.

My day's worth;
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
General Patton vs the X-ecutioners
Beck - Mellow Gold

[br3ad_man]

Tool. I don't know why, I've never really cared for them that much. I like them more now though.

[neonpanther]

I'm a little disappointed by the Evens. I expected more, but it's not a bad album.

I'm in a major indie-pop mood. Unrest, ****, Camera Obscura, etc. I just need some happy music.

You should definitely listen to bella! They are poppy and happy. Hope ya dig.
I forgot their website by check them out at http://www.myspace.com/bella

[Iai]

I remember I was going to ask if you'd review that, before Sputnik.
It's one of the albums I'm planning to review when I get the time. That, and The Man-Machine by Kraftwerk.

However, 'when I get the time' could be months away.

Okkervil River - "Black Sheep Boy"

I'm on my first run through it, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It's got heart, violence, aggression, and just an overall sincere passion.

Okkervil River - "Black Sheep Boy"

I'm on my first run through it, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It's got heart, violence, aggression, and just an overall sincere passion.

I was in St. Louis today and picked up a zine with an article about them in it and I was very interested in hearing them.

Today I listened to:

Beck-Guero
Maritime
The Snake The Cross The Crown
The Smiths (on vinyl mwahaha)

[br3ad_man]

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs

Thanks to Happymeal's love for it.

[Sound Boy]

the coheed and cambria dvd...


2 words...


amazing and intense
check it outttttt

[Prison Bound]

Dr Dre's The Chronic has received a spin this week. He brings the funk like Stevie Wonder, except he can see and slays way more tang. Some awesome humour on this record as well. I got bored today so I listened to Bill Hick's Revelations. **** that's funny. I'm not ashamed of my liking of metalcore; Poison the Well's the Opposite of December had a good spin today. Returning to some indie, I also listened to Broken Social Scene's You Forgot it In People and Trail of Dead's Source Tags and Codes. Good ****.

I like your taste in music.

[Little Man being Erased]

On the weekend I purchased:

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads;
The Cure - The Head on the Door, and;
Bill Hicks Live DVD.

So I've been diggin those and Explosions in the Sky.

[Smackers]

Kaada

[Prison Bound]

The Misfits & Tiger Army, Godspeed!
Good man. I recently picked up the Misfits Collection (boxset), with remasters. After all this time! Tiger Army are great, saw them about a month ago for ridiculously cheap.

Smackers: is this the Kaada who worked with Patton recently? I heard one of the songs one night on internet radio. Sounds enticing...

[Bartender]

I don't know of any other Kaada, so probably. I like the album he did with Patton (Romances), and I was actually just listening to it earlier today.


Bill Hicks Live DVD.

Which one?

[UltimaTap]

I still haven't stopped listening to Godspeend You! Black Emperor since the first time I heard them...

Also I've watch some local jazz and funk bands play and they were awesome, I didn't think we would have talented musicians like that over here.

[YDload]

There's a video on Subterranean right now of a Handsome Boy Modeling School song, featuring Del! I'm surprised I still remembered that guy's awesome voice since I really hadn't heard much of him since that Gorillaz song or maybe something on a Tony Hawk Skateboarding soundtrack. I guess his voice is more unique and memorable than I thought.

Also, anybody heard about a band called Circa Survive? They're... I dunno, post-hardcore or something? But the singer has a very high-pitched feminine voice, and I happen to find that very neat despite how it often turns others away. Besides that, the rest of the song seemed just fine.

[Little Man being Erased]

Which one?
Bill Hicks Live: Satirist, Social Critic, Stand-Up Comedian.

It has One Night Stand, Relentless, Revelations, and Just A Ride (Documentary). Great, great stuff.

[burning_man]

i want to hear some of this handsome boy modeling school but i cant find any mp3s anywhere

[Luxor]

[breezer]

the arcade fire--they are worthy of the buzz

[freetheunfreeworld]

Diggin the pixies as usual
but i just moved to Germany and like i have never heard adam green before.
Its folk music with some of the most stupid and disgusting lyrics, that i cant help but love. Especially off Friends of Mine cd. No Legs is a good song.
Anyone ever listened to or listen to this. its pretty popular in Germany.

[br3ad_man]

Since my last post, I have listened mostly to:


Radiohead
Moby
Decemberists
An Albatross
Converge

I'll get flamed for this, but my love of Motley Crue is too great. Been listening to 'Too Fast for Love' all day; ala New York Dolls. I've also been playing Joy Division 'Live at the Moonlight Club' (Bootleg), 'In/Casino/Ou' by ATDI and 'Steady Diet of Nothing' by Fugazi.

[ATM]

I have been listening to Hendrix and Porcupine Tree all day.

[YDload]

I have been listening to Hendrix and Porcupine Tree all day.

The only song I've heard from the latter is "Trains," but it's a really nice song and it has sparked my interest in the band.

[malpractice9]

queen - body language, simple and fun song to play along to as well.

i listened to Kid A in the car the other night as i was driving home.. my mind still hasn't returned to normal.

[Little Man being Erased]

The only song I've heard from the latter is "Trains," but it's a really nice song and it has sparked my interest in the band.
Yeah, I'm the same. I've heard "Trains" and "Hello," and I love both of 'em. Actually, I don't know why I haven't looked into them further.

[br3ad_man]

*listens to In Absentia in another attempt to like it*

I don't think sentences are allowed to be that long, but great choices!

I'm listening to the new Gn'R leak. What a scream! :eek:

[Prison Bound]

What songs have been leaked in this "new" leak?

[NineBitFable]

the new Gorillaz song... pretty rad stuff. Also getting into some Massive Attack, and Sonic Youth. I swear, every time I listen to Daydream Nation I find something that I completely overlooked before.

[Butch Walker]

What songs have been leaked in this "new" leak?

Just one. It's a radio recording of what seems to be a demo of the song IRS.

[Arrakakaka]

Diecast - "Tearing Down Your Blue Skies"
Heaven Shall Burn - "Antigone"
God Forbid - "Gone Forever"

I've found a new passion in music;METALCORE.

[asymm]

Beck's Odelay
- I'm planning on doing a three dimensional project based upon the song "Derelict"

The National - Alligator

[YDload]

Beck's Odelay
- I'm planning on doing a three dimensional project based upon the song "Derelict"

Which song is that? The dusty country/hip-hop one? Actually, that can describe a lot of them, but I don't know most of the songs by heart.

[asymm]

Track 5. After The New Pollution and before Novacane.

It's a slower paced song with eclectic percussion throughout. Then it transforms into a characteristically Asian sounding instrument. You'd recognize it mostly for it's chorus "Blow back, derelict wind, lay my soul in the foul of the air". Ack. Just listen to it, my description is poor.

[SuperGrover66]

I was recently very sick of all my music and was only listening to the radio so i went out and bought Queens Of The Stone Age - Songs For The Deaf. Then my mate burnt me David Bowie - CHANGESBOWIE, and now another friend is going to burn me NOFX - Pump up the Valuum and Punk in Drublic. Suddenly I have too much to listen to.

I am sorry for wasting your time with this stupid post.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Calexico - Convict Pool
Gruvis Malt - With the Spirit of the Traffic Jam
Mare - s/t (they need to hurry up and record some more, 5 songs ain't enough goshdarnit!)
Beatles - Sgt. Peppers, Revolver

[Prison Bound]

Been listening to some new leaked and live tracks by NIN. Some are looking excellent, some are not. Only time will tell (two weeks!). The Line Begins to Blur seems to be a standout track. Violent and heavy as ever.

I've also been listening to Gatsby's American Dream, Mozart on Crack, and Wrecking Krew. I need to get that new Patton record with the X-Ecutioners, I saw a hip-hop doco on scratching and they featured. Roc-Raida is awesome.

[br3ad_man]

I'm angry so I'm listening to metal and some Converge.

[Happymeal]

^ I usually listen to Converge when I'm kinda sad.

Today I feel like listening to

Gerogerigegege - Tokyo Anal Dynamite
Yes - Close to the Edge
Out Hud - Let Us Never Speak of It Again
Comeback Kid - Turn it Around

[YDload]

After watching "The Graduate" in film class, I'm in a kinda Simon and Garfunkel mood. My interest is renewed in creating a walking bassline for that Mrs. Robinson song. It just cries out for one!
