You're allowed to listen to music when you work? Where do you work?

[Iai]

I'm a cleaner at my college.

[Interstate]

I'm a cleaner at my college.

Cool. You get to listen to music - lucky :p How much do you get paid an hour?

[Iai]

Something like £4.10.

[Interstate]

Something like £4.10.

Cool - plus you get the added bonus of listening to music. Nice. :thumb:

[Zappa]

Should I take all these posts as cues to attempt to upload the entire Varese "Complete Works" two CD set on YouSendit?

[Bartender]

If you could and did, that was be excellent and much appreciated, yes.

As for digging, I'm still on Frank Sinatra. About halfway through The Band Years.

[Little Man being Erased]

I be diggin a few songs from the following.

The Red Paintings
My Disco
Do Make Say Think

[Smackers]

I've been listening to Meshuggah all day.

[ATM]

toktok

Have you guys ever heard of them? They are pretty good.

[Happymeal]

What are they like? The name sounds post-rocky..



The past few days I was rocked by

The Filaments
The Slackers
Okkervil River
Fugazi
Squarepusher

[Luxor]

Metric.

I've always thought they were... alright. But they released a new single off Old World Underground, which is awesome. So it made me get the album. It's good stuff.

[biografiend]

Today I have listened to:
Demon Days
Architecture in Helsinki-Fingers Crossed
some Yo-Yo Ma

I've also been trying to get into Rilo Kiley, but the few songs I have the girl seems to have a talking/singing voice instead of just singing. Are all of their songs in that fashion?

[Zmev]

Listening to Seven Swans by Sufjan Stevens right now, good stuff ar 4:14am

[br3ad_man]

You should go to bed more often, it's good for your health.

[br3ad_man]

I hope everyone realises how good the Shawshank Redemption soundtrack is.

[Interstate]

I hope everyone realises how good the Shawshank Redemption soundtrack is.

I don't but I will check it out now. :thumb:

Listened to ASMZ's Born Into Trouble As Sparks Fly Upward last night in bed at like 2am - soooo good! :cool:

What I've listened to today - so far:
Brian Wilson - Smile (have only listened to a couple of times but I'm beginning to really appreciate it)

Bark Psychosis - Hex (really loving this album right now)

Lionel Richie & The Commodores - The Definitive Collection (listened to that while driving to pick up a friend.

[Iai]

Lionel Richie & The Commodores - The Definitive Collection (listened to that while cruising to pick up chicks.
Fix'd. ;)

[Little Man being Erased]

Modest Mouse - Good News for People who Love Bad News

My first taste of a Modest Mouse album and I like.

[TalkingHead]

m83 - Before the Dawn Heals Us

Really, REALLY good.

[Bukowski]

Air - Moon Safari

Awesome electronic music.

[Bartender]

Gang of Four - Entertainment!, Solid Gold, Another Day/Another Dollar

Really starting to like Entertainment!.

[Noir]

calla - strangler

[br3ad_man]

Listening to the new Coldplay album. Only heard the first two songs, but they aren't very good.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Speed Of Sound sounds waywayway too much like Clocks. Way.

I'm still being insanely creeped out by Summer Make Good by Mum. And I'm getting back into ( ) by Sigur Ros too.

They're both from Iceland. Coinkydink!2two

[Interstate]

Yesterday I bought:

Various Artists - The Blues (Dejavu Retro Gold Collection - 2CD Deluxe Edition)
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
Robert Johnson - The Complete Collection

All for £17 - well pleased, especially with The Blues 2 cd set.

Also received 1 Speed Bike - Droopy Butt Begone from ebay today, haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but I've wanted it for ages, hopefully it will be good.

[Interstate]

Fix'd. ;)

:lol: :p

[Interstate]

What I've listened to for the first time today:

1 Speed Bike - Droopy Butt Begone! (8.5/10)
Robert Johnson - The Complete Collection (9/10)
Blur - Parklife (10/10) - for some reason I never really listened to it properly - today was the first time.
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (10/10)

[Robert Crumb]

Digging 1994. Pine wood benches, baseball cards, a sony walkman casette player and Bone Thugs N' Harmony's E. 1999 Eternal.

[TalkingHead]

The Afghan Whigs, and loving every moment of it.

[Happymeal]

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy (6.9/10)

I like them more than Bright Eyes.

I've been so allured by Fugazi, Against Me! and The Slackers lately. Especially The Slackers.

[The NPC]

The Nercos

[Wanker]

What I've listened to for the first time today:

1 Speed Bike - Droopy Butt Begone! (8.5/10)

I'd probably give that a 7/10... :-/

Yuppy Resturant Goers Beware..., My Kitchen Is..., and The Day That Mauro Ran Over Elwy Yost are really good. A few tracks are meh and the rest sound the same.

A third of the album sounds like Can sans everything but percussion.

[Tangy zizzle]

New Malkmus record is good.

[ATM]

Thom Yorke's concert!

[Liberi Fatali]

John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (10/10)
sup

[NineBitFable]

Devin Davis- Lonely people of the world, unite!!!

This album just floors me everytime I listen to it. It's filled with saxaphones, pianos and backup singers (Every instrument was recorded by Devin Davis, btw). The whole album is around 35 minutes, (most songs are around 3 minutes long) which means there is rarely a dull part in any song, and can go from a 60's brit invasion sound to Pink Floyd psychedellia too pop punk in an instant. The lyrics are another standout thing on this album, dealing with everything from vikings to pirates to a turtle that helps a flightless bird.
This is one of the best records I've heard all year, and I'm pretty sure I already know whos going to be on the top of my 'best album of 2005' list.

[Tomahawk]

That sounds pretty interesting, I'm gonna check it out.

[Robert Crumb]

Devin Davis- Lonely people of the world, unite!!!

I've downloaded a couple songs from his website. I like his stuff. When he does that little "wooo-o-woo-a-whoo" on "Deserted Eyeland," I think of Stephen Malkmus. I mean to pick the album some time.

[Zappa]

The samples on the Shpongle website from the new album. I'm also digging their old stuff in anticipation.

[Tangy zizzle]

I don't like the new Shpongle samples at all, I'm sad.

Squarepusher is about the only electronic **** I can take these days.

[Interstate]

I'd probably give that a 7/10... :-/

Yuppy Resturant Goers Beware..., My Kitchen Is..., and The Day That Mauro Ran Over Elwy Yost are really good. A few tracks are meh and the rest sound the same.

I must have been in a really weird mood because I was thinking I was going to hate it but I played it on my mp3 player just walking round the house doing random stuff and loved it. Maybe it was just a weird day.

[Zappa]

I don't like the new Shpongle samples at all, I'm sad.

Squarepusher is about the only electronic **** I can take these days.

Weird.

[Tangy zizzle]

I know, it is weird. I've kinda gone off all modern electronica. I can still take Aphex Twin and slight doses of DJ Shadow, but Autechre, Squarepusher and Prefuse 73( and other monikers) is all I listen to frequently.

[Zappa]

I'm a Shpongle and Squarepusher only kind of guy, basically.

[YDload]

Mr. Bungle is cool. I need to get "California" right away.

[Tangy zizzle]

I always thought you liked them Ian?

Anyways, just found a Jerk With a Bomb record. They're cool, but not Black Mountain cool.

Has anyone checked out the new Julian Cope album yet? It's pretty badass, probably his best since Jehovah Kill.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Yeah but I don't have the album yet. Originally I was gravitating toward Disco Volante but now I think California has more of the focused quirkiness I was looking for.

[Bartender]

Devin Townsend - Terria
Afghan Whigs - John the Baptist

That's about all I've had time for.

[thisis sceneSUICIDE]

I'm seriously loving Iron & Wine's Woman King EP.

Amazing stuff, right there.

[breezer]

ARCADE FIRE!!!!@!$#%#^ seriously, these guys are friggen awesome. Bowie proclaimed funeral "the best album of 2004"

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I'm seriously loving Iron & Wine's Woman King EP.

Amazing stuff, right there.

That's a great EP.

I'm listening to a lot of Guero by Beck lately.

[Interstate]

What I've listened to today (so far):

A Silver Mount Zion - Pretty Little Lightning Paw EP (It's pretty good but it's a bit different from their other stuff.)

ZZ Top - El Loco

Beck - Guero (listening to it for the first time, just listened to the first 2 tracks - brilliant stuff)

[Tangy zizzle]

ZZ Top don't get much love these days, I'm glad to see you dig 'em lostandalone.

Their 3 earliest records are the ****.

[br3ad_man]

Coldplay's new album is a funny one. There is some good stuff and some godawful stuff. I'd say that overall, they've gone down. The new album has some of the best stuff yet though.

[Tangy zizzle]

I was surprised that it hasn't been heralded as the best rock album since OK Computer.

I mean, they are the new Radiohead aren't they??

[br3ad_man]

Apparently.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've never liked Coldplay (except Trouble, that shizz cuts me deep) so I'll give you my opinion now.

The album huffs a fat one.

[br3ad_man]

I never thought of Coldplay as being a "Matty band".

[Tangy zizzle]

Hehe, yeah I loves me some distortion.

You know who I do kinda like though? Travis.

I listened to their album a couple times on a car trip the other day, it's nice. 6.5/10.

[br3ad_man]

I find Travis pretty mediocore. Pretty nice though. 6/10


I'm going to bed man. Talk to you later.

[Tangy zizzle]

Love, Peace & Chicken Grease.

[Interstate]

ZZ Top don't get much love these days, I'm glad to see you dig 'em lostandalone.

Damn straight! :cool:

[talk show host]

I heard the new Foo's album yesterday. Well, the first disc at least. It was a bit meh really.

yesterday was a day for:

Autechre - Amber
Four Tet - Pause
Minor Threat - Complete Discography

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Worst song on Guero award goes to: Broken Drum.

[Happymeal]

Love, Peace & Chicken Grease.

*points at avatar*

I can't find that CD anywhere. Better than Feast of Wire? A little less eclectic I'd say.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I've been lovin the new Foo Fighters song, Best of You. It's easily the best song i've heard from them. New album should be good hopefully.

Best song I've heard from them is Monkey Wrench.

[Tomahawk]

I reckon Everlong has gotta be their best song.

[Iai]

Scrawl - Velvet Hammer
Paul Simon - Graceland
SikTH - The Trees Are Dead And Dried Out, Wait For Something Wild
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

[pixiesfanyo]

MF Doom
TMV as usual.

[Tomahawk]

Devin Davis- Lonely people of the world, unite!!!
So I checked this album out, I really like it. It's good stuff. One of the better albums I've heard so far this year. Really good fun power pop type stuff.

Also, I've been digging Aphex Twin today.

[Doctor D.]

MF Doom


<3 Metal Face.

[Luxor]

I'm listening to Sigur Ros' ( ) for the first time. Not bad.

[Smackers]

I've been digging my new iPod lately. ****ing sweet! \m/

[YDload]

I reckon Everlong has gotta be their best song.

Oh yeah, definitely. They've got some other good ones, but Everlong is easily the best.

[frans]

For The Mathematics
Math-rock.
Imagine if At The Drive-In and the Mars Volta (I know, they're half the same people) had babies that looked nothing like them. They have one 7-song cd, The New Science. It is tré good. I think they're from Ottawa.
Good Songs:redlightexitsignpastiche
Delay The Fiasco

[frans]

yay for MF Doom

Sounds interesting. I bet it's really pretentious and a lot of people will absolutely hate it, so I would have to be careful when telling someone that I listen to them so they don't roll their eyes back into their sockets with sarcastic excitement.

[Little Man being Erased]

The new White Stripes album is very good.



Also listening to Reel Big Fish - Why Do They Rock So Hard? lately.

[Little Man being Erased]

I have just been blown away.

I downloaded a few Devin Davis songs from his website after seeing him mentioned here and on allmusic. He is excellent.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I'm easing myself into Demon Days.

[charolastra]

Still can't get enough of Team Sleep and Minus the Bear

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I'm easing myself into Demon Days.

its well worth your time, there are like 3 eh songs but everything else makes up for them.

[Tomahawk]

Digging on Nick Lowe right now. Y'all should check out his album Jesus of Cool.

[ATM]

Zappa

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

The Liars
Tilly & the Wall

[Zappa]

Massive Attack. I should probably get Blue Lines already.

[Electrocution]

Comets on Fire
Elliott Smith

[Interstate]

I fell asleep to The Shawshank Redemption OST - best album to fall asleep to. EVER.

[Iai]

Comets on Fire
Elliott Smith
Last edited by Zappa : Today at 10:53 PM.

:lol:

[Iai]

Anyway, today was an Elliott Smith and Pixies day for me.

I also listened to the VAST album somebody put up in the YSI thread. Put it this way - if The Downward Spiral is The Matrix, VAST's albums are the sequels.

[3rdplanet]

Time Lapse Consortium have just made themselves known to me, absolute genius.

[Zappa]

Today I listened to a whole lot of Elliott myself. But I don't even bother to post that anymore, because lately I've been listening to him constantly.

[Bartender]

I've not really been listening to anything new/noteworthy lately either, so my posting here's been kept to something of a minimum. Or at least it seems so to me.

Incidentally, Iai, did you call yourself Iai for any particular reason?

[Iai]

Incidentally, Iai, did you call yourself Iai for any particular reason?
Not really. When I first got the internet I went by the name Sephiroth, which I quickly found out was a pretty easy way to have the piss ripped out of you, so I changed it. Iai was basically the first thing I came across that sounded half-decent. I know it's another reference to Final Fantasy, but I forget exactly what.

Whatever it is, I've been registered as Iai on every site I've been on for maybe 3 years now. I just like having the same name on every site.

[Zappa]

It reminds me of Bad Brains, which is sort of weird when I read your posts.

Yeah, I could have had pretty much any handle at all, but I picked Wide Load for no real reason. So that's who I am, except on the SA forums because I'll be damned if I'm going to behave in the exact same manner on a much stricter/cooler forum. I gotta change :cool:

I don't know what Final Fantasy reference it hols, but I just read somewhere tonight that it refers to a technique for drawing your sword and immediately striking your opponent down. In one smooth motion, I think. So I asked.

NP Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life

[Zappa]

Back when I registered to my first forum, a gaming one, I went by "ScreechingImpOfTerror." I found out that administrator was bothered by the longness of my name, so I had him change it to "Zappa." I go by "Megatron" or "Frunobulax" everywhere but here, now, though.

[Bartender]

Where did you get Frunobulax from? Some new guy in R&M (only seen him post once) had the name frunobulaxx, and said it had just popped into his head when I asked.

[Zappa]

It's the name of a giant poodle from a few Frank Zappa songs. I'm pretty sure Frank also had a pet dog that went simply by "Frunie." It's been a while since I heard that whole story, though. Could be wrong.

[pixiesfanyo]

Kayo Dot.

[Electrocution]

Comets on Fire
Elliott Smith
Thanks for correcting my spelling. I always do that.

Not a whole lot has changed since I last posted in here, but I've listened to Ravi Shankar and Red Sparowes to help me write my **** slice essay.

[el doctor]

Kayo Dot.Nice.

Brainiac - Bonsai Superstar

Their singer reminds me of the guy from These Arms Are Snakes.

[Interstate]

Massive Attack

plus:

Brian Wilson - Smile
Wu Tang - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers)
Aretha Franklin - The Best Of

[Iai]

I don't know what Final Fantasy reference it hols, but I just read somewhere tonight that it refers to a technique for drawing your sword and immediately striking your opponent down. In one smooth motion, I think. So I asked.
Yeah, I found that out recently too. Pretty cool.

Goon Moon - I Got a Brand New Egg Layin' Machine

[Well_Respected_Man]

^^^
Nice, Stereolab are ace on the Ketchup. And the other bands have kewl album names so I bet they are good too.

So, I got the new White Stripes album. I got six tracks in before Jack White decided to **** out a ballad like the kind that ruined Elephant. But my those first six tracks were rather good. YOU COULD DANCE TO THEM!

[ATM]

plus:

Brian Wilson - Smile
Wu Tang - Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers)
Aretha Franklin - The Best Of

Nice, Aretha is one of my favorite singers.

portishead (have the first times some difficulties to listen to them, but now i can't stop listening to them)

[Wanker]

I've been listening to the Set Fire To Flames and A Silver Mount Zion albums that TalkingHead gave me.

I've been listening to the Set Fire To Flames and A Silver Mount Zion albums that TalkingHead gave me.

Have you heard Horses in the Sky yet?

[Wanker]

Have you heard Horses in the Sky yet?

Yup. Thanks to TalkingHead, I've got all their records.

Godbless Our Dead Marines is a good song. Very upbeat (well, half of it)... probably one of the most upbeat moments in ASMZ's music ever.

My favorite ASMZ song right now is probably Sow Some Lonesome Corner So Many Flowers Bloom.

[Bandaid]

Charles Mingus - Ah Um
Mclusky - The Difference Between You and Me Is I'm Not On Fire
System Of a Down - Mezmerize

[br3ad_man]

Muse, Ryan Adams and some really crazy death metal band that someone uploaded in R&M.

[charolastra]

Mew - 156'

the songs been playing again and again the whole day

[Interstate]

Nice, Aretha is one of my favorite singers.

Yeah, I've woken up to The Best Of album playing on my cd alarm clock the last few days - good stuff.

What I've been loving today:

Belle & Sebastian - Pushman Bar To Open Wounds
The Books - Lemon Of Pink (I love this album right now - The Books are turning into one of my favourite bands)
Fly Pan Am - no album - just a collection of songs on my pc.

[Bukowski]

Mew - 156'

the songs been playing again and again the whole day

Very nice. Mew are my favourite band right now.

[Zappa]

I think I'm starting to appreciate Pere Ubu as a band who makes music I can enjoy. They're so intensely weird.

[Doctor D.]

MC Paul Barman
MF Doom
Sebadoh
Masada
Naked City

[Bukowski]

The Smiths own all today.

[Iai]

The Magic Numbers - The Magic Numbers

New album of the year, yo.

[TalkingHead]

MF Doom and Nas; Nastradoomus is great album

[biografiend]

Yup. Thanks to TalkingHead, I've got all their records.

Godbless Our Dead Marines is a good song. Very upbeat (well, half of it)... probably one of the most upbeat moments in ASMZ's music ever.

My favorite ASMZ song right now is probably Sow Some Lonesome Corner So Many Flowers Bloom.

Yes Yes. I think the 2 mainly acousic songs off HitS (Teddy Roosevelt and some other one) don't really do justice to A Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra La La Band but God Bless Our Dead Marines and the others make up for it.

[ATM]

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

[YDload]

The title track to Trail of Dead's "Source Tags and Codes." The way the song ends in that great big wall of sound is just perfect.

[ATM]

I think I'm starting to appreciate Pere Ubu as a band who makes music I can enjoy. They're so intensely weird.

I've got loads of Pere Ubu mp3s if you need any.

[Zappa]

I have all of the Pere Ubu I want to hear, I think. Thanks for the offer.

[Bartender]

Aereogramme - A Story in White

It's been a while since I've played this (properly, anyway). I need to fill in their more recent albums.

I always thought he sounded like the dude from Drive Like Jehu...

[Luxor]

The Books

QOTSA
Radiohead
Modest Mouse

[Interstate]

Been listening to the few Hot Snakes & Jawbox songs that I have on my pc, no albums yet though.

Recommendations for albums by these two bands?

[Smackers]

I've been listening to At the Drive-In a lot lately.

[YDload]

Tonight I had a long drive home on a dark, quiet highway. I put on Source Tags and Codes and it was beautiful. I drove slowly toward the end so I could hear that final song before getting home. Oh my.

[Tapeworm]

This place sucks now.

[br3ad_man]

That's because you're never here. The lack of Tangy is most unhelpful as well.

[asymm]

Hmmm...

White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
The Hold Steady - Separation Sunday
The Russian Futurists - Our Thickness

[SoLs]

Been gettin into Queens of the stonge age (self titled), Audioslave, The butterfly effect and Cog recently :thumb: (couple of great aussie bands there, at least IMO anyway :p )

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Hail To The Thief.

[br3ad_man]

[Iai]

Still The Magic Numbers.

Totally in love with this band right now.

[br3ad_man]

I'll check that band out if you check out The Jolly Rogers.

[ATM]

Black Mountain
Calexico

Everyone should know these bands.

Calexico are staying at my grandparents house for a little while this summer.

[Zappa]

I walked along Lake Superior and listened to Slint yesterday evening. Spiderland sounds even better with waves.

[ATM]

What kind of music are Slint?

[Zappa]

They get the reputation of being sort of "the godfathers of post-rock," but to me they're just alternative rock that wrote slow-boiling moody tunes.

[ATM]

Cool, I'll have to check them out.

[Zappa]

Agreed.

[YDload]

At the Drive-In - Acrobatic Tenement

****ing wonderful album

It's not my favorite ATDI album, but "Ebroglio" "Initiation" and "Paid Vacation Time" are great songs.

[Zappa]

I'm finishing up a recording that I began this morning, and I'm digging it a lot. I love making music.

[YDload]

It's my favorite by a wide margin. Second is probably In/CASINO/Out

I think I like the Vaya EP the best because it doesn't have any really poor songs on it, but they've all got their strong points.

I listened to it last night too. It's a lot better than I originally gave it credit for.

[pixiesfanyo]

Salsa.

[Electrocution]

Yeah I don't see a lot of the post-rock in Slint. They're a bit removed from GYBE, Tortoise, Mogwai, etc.
I'm thinking it's because they pioneered the loud-soft-loud thing for the more recent generations.

Anyway.

Goddamnit. I was so, so ready for The Magic Numbers to suck.

[biografiend]

the Black Keys - Thickfreakness

great driving album. great album altogether, actually.

[charolastra]

I just downloaded

Smashing Pumpkins - Machina 2
from http://metrochicago.com/pumpkins/

so i'm diggin it.

[Smackers]

Vincent & Mr. Green

[Iai]

Morrissey - Bona Drag

this has some lousy stuff, but "Last of the Famous International Playboys" and "Suedehead" are phenomenal
123

Apply to most Mozza solo records.

[Iai]

Goddamnit. I was so, so ready for The Magic Numbers to suck.
Why? Are my recommendations usually that bad?

[Iai]

Look ma, triple post.

I've put a buttload of stuff on my new PC and put it on random. So I'm basically digging everything I have on mp3 but not on CD.

Some really great stuff has come up that I've never really listened to before - Art Blakey, Ryan Adams, Skunk Anansie.

Other than that.....still The Magic Numbers. And yesterday, Rufus Wainwright.

[Zappa]

Art Blakey is the Thor of jazz drummers.

[Iai]

I thought the Moanin' title track was an alternate take of So What when it came on.

But by the end, I liked it more than So What. :-*

[Happymeal]

today I bought:

Mission of Burma - Vs.
Nation of Ulysses - 13 Point Program to Destroy America
Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance(for $7 w00t)

Anyone here know Amusement Parks on Fire?

[Bartender]

Why? Are my recommendations usually that bad?

Not at all. Just now it's one more thing I have to go buy.

[pixiesfanyo]

Interpol - Antics ( 8.2/10 )
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless ( 7.0/10 )

^ Just call me Nachyo.

[Bandaid]

Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R
Murder City Devils - In Name And Blood
The Birthday Party - Mutiny/The Bad Seeds

[biografiend]

Scissor Sisters. I'm thinking their Pink Floyd cover is ace.

[Tomahawk]

That Magic Numbers album is one of the most distinctly average albums I've heard in a while. I mean, it's definitely not bad... it's a good album, but at no point does anything on there exceed "just good". And it all sounds a bit samey to me.

Other than that, I've been digging Quitter, Architecture in Helsinki, Mr Bungle, and Bruce Kaphan.

[br3ad_man]

From the songs I've heard, that Magic Numbers album seems to me to be "pretty good".

[Bartender]

Yeah, "pretty good" is about where I'd place it. Not quite as fond of it as Iai seems to be, but I wouldn't call it just average either.

[JohnXDoe]

I've been listening to a lot of REM's 90's stuff latley. Particularly there last three albums. Including the latest, Around The Sun. I just keep hearing stuff in those albums I overlooked before. I really love New Advantures in Hi -Fi, too. Vastly underrated, IMO. I don't care much for Monster, and am just plain worn out on Out of Time. So I'm not listening to those. But the others just have me hooked. And of course, Automatic for the People. Which is a perfect record....

[JohnXDoe]

New Adventures in Hi-Fi is underrated, but it's their last good album. Monster was pretty weak, but nowhere near as bad as the awful last three.

You know, I tended to agree with that until recently. But I gave the new one a fighting chance and then started listening to Up again, which led me back to Reveal. And something just clicked for me. Glad it did because now I can enjoy them again, lol. It was a tough go for awhile. I just took a listen to Reveal and am loving it . I don't know what happened? But I'm glad it happened nonetheless :thumb:

[el doctor]

Dream Theater - Octavarium
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots (5.1)

I've loved Yoshimi for so long that I'm not sure why it took me this long to get the 5.1 mix. The experimentation with multiple channels makes the album such a more absorbing experience.

[Aeaon]

That's what I think of REM too. Their 80s material is absolutely great, and their first 5 WB albums were good as well. Up and Reveal on the other just bore me to death and Around The Sun is very weak as well.

[JohnXDoe]

I tried really hard to get into them, since I'm a massive R.E.M. fan, but there's something about them that doesn't do it for me. I just prefer the more sparse, minimal stuff they were doing in the early 80's.

Oh man, that's great stuff! Good thing about a band like REM is you really can pick and choose because of there long history and diverse output. Murmur, Reckoning, and Fables of the Reconstruction are brillant records. I can only imagine how original and fresh they sounded at the time they came out. And they manage to rock. Life's Rich Pageant is most likely my fave, although I know they took heat at the time for going with a mainstream producer and turning up the electric guitars. But no matter, I love it. Document as well. Green is my least favorite. But that's a small gripe considering the good.

I think it's Micheal Stipe that is attracting me to the new stuff. His lyrics, vocal style, and perspective just always seems to be evolving, and at the moment I've become very intrigued by what he's been doing since Up. It's like rediscovering the band through him. Really enjoying them and myself doing it, too. :)

[Aeaon]

Yes, his drumming is really good. That's proabably what makes the newer REM so dull. The drum machines don't necessarily make them sound as good as the other albums.

[Interstate]

The Dismemberment Plan's Emergency And I has been on heavy rotation the past few days.

Also getting into Notorious B.I.G's album Life After Death (Ready To Die is possibly my favourite rap album ever but I didn't like Life After Death too much on first listen so I'm giving it another chance)

[Electrocution]

Bjork - Homogenic
My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
and my newest purchase: A Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra and Tra-La-La Band With Choir - Born Into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward

I sat in the Target parking lot and listened to lattermost. It's eargasmic.

[Luxor]

Converge - Jane Doe
Coheed & Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade

[cryforhelp]

Rage against the machine,
The Arcade Fire,
Rise Against

[br3ad_man]

:lol:

I'm digging "Bitches Brew" very much right now.

[Zappa]

I'm really far too lazy for this. Hey, you've got a local mod here to clean this up.

[JohnXDoe]

I definitely applaud them for constantly reinventing their sound and challening themselves - I doubt I'd like them as much if they had released thirteen Murmurs - but there's just something lacking about the new albums that doesn't grab me like the first few do. Maybe it's the absence of Bill Berry, who is one of the best drummers of all time.

Yes, his drumming is really good. That's proabably what makes the newer REM so dull. The drum machines don't necessarily make them sound as good as the other albums.

The loss of Berry hurt. I think perhaps they didn't feel like the same band after he left. I've never quite forgiven him as a fan for doing so, either. But what can you do, ya know. REM has certainly been a different band since his departure. At least on record. I saw them the last time they swung by Los Angeles and they were just incredible. The same great live band they have always been. Perhaps after all these years they really are just about pleasing themselves now? Which I guess is something they've kind of earned. I just really found myself missing them, quite honestly. I hadn't given the newer records much consideration, either. So i started listening. If you guys wanna give it another shot I would suggest starting with Reveal and the more accessible tracks on Up. And then move on to Around The Sun. Maybe just listen passively at first. You might start to hear something you can connect with. :wave:

[KappaKid17]

Dredg's 'Catch Without Arms' is wonderful. There's somewhat less concept/abstractness than El Cielo, but it's an absolutely beautiful album.

[br3ad_man]

Massive Attack - Protection

Why does no one ever talk about this album? It's fantastic.

[izzy]

I've checked out Sun Ra: Super-Sonic Jazz and I have to say I'm impressed. It's what's described as space jazz. It is jazz but with weird and crazy elements thrown in that make it all weird. Check it.

[NineBitFable]

I am really loving Gorillaz Demon Days. I think on the whole album there is one song I dont really like.

[Interstate]

Been listening to alot of rap/hip-hop today, artists/groups such as Mobb Deep, Jay Z, Ice T, and Nas. I should really get some of their albums.

[Zappa]

King Tubbys Meets Rockers Uptown by Augustus Pablo is a really cool record that I downloaded yesterday.

The Dresden Dolls by the band of the same name is another great record that I put on for the first time yesterday.

Yesterday was a really good day for music.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Dresden Dolls are awesome.

Today I'm enjoying Coldplay, Maximo Park and The Magic Numbers.

[dirtegurl]

All I can say is that it is a grand moment because . . .
I'm rockin out to 'The Faint' today and chics dig scars!
What happens now?

[dkmaddog]

I've been playing the new Spoon album much of late, along with the Pony's new release, Celebration Castle.

[Iai]

Massive Attack - Protection

Why does no one ever talk about this album? It's fantastic.
Agreed. It's overshadowed by what's around it is all. Plus that cover of Light My Fire is horrible.

Today I dug the new Shpongle, heavily. It's unreal. That's now two 5-star albums released on June 13th. 2005 is absolutely owning so far. Best year this decade, easily.

I also listened to The Mint Chicks' new album. Wasn't impressed at all.

[Little Man being Erased]

Over the last 4 days or so I've listened to a lot of stuff:

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk
Handsome Boy Modelling School - So... How's Your Girl?
Gorillaz - Demon Days
The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Rob D
Jeff Buckley
Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
Modest Mouse - Good News...
Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

Beefheart and Handsome Boy for the first time. "To Buy List" +++

[ATM]

Funkadelic
Primus
Filter

[Bukowski]

Tortoise, Slint and Gastr Del Sol rock my current playlist

[Happymeal]

Nation of Ulysses kick so much ***.

[br3ad_man]

Agreed. It's overshadowed by what's around it is all. Plus that cover of Light My Fire is horrible.


Especially after "Heat Miser", which is one of the best songs I've ever heard.


Today I've dug:

Stars
Miles Davis
The Jolly Rogers
Massive Attack

[Bandaid]

Circulating between both Gorillaz's albums, giving the new one a just listen

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Hmm, haven't been around these parts in a while. School and friends and non-computer hobbies have been stealing my computer time.

But anyway, I've been diggin':

The Olivia Tremor Control
The Starlight Mints
Tub Ring
Faith No More
Cannibal Ox
Kayo Dot
Denali
etc.

My brother recently gave me his old computer, which has my old stash of mp3s. Some of bands I've half-forgotten about, like The Bees and De Facto. I'm especially diggin' the rediscovery of The Bees.

[dirtegurl]

Manic Street Preachers
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Tracy Bonham
The Organ (great show) Chics would dig these ladies!!
Electrelane- (YES DEVIOUS)

And still. . . . . The Faint rock my world

[Smackers]

Slint - Spiderland


Holy crap this album is good!

[Tomahawk]

Today was all about Bad Religion, Refused, and PJ Harvey.

[Zappa]

Today I dug the new Shpongle, heavily. It's unreal. That's now two 5-star albums released on June 13th. 2005 is absolutely owning so far. Best year this decade, easily.


Did you actually purchase the album? It doesn't seem obtainable here in the states.

[Luxor]

Massive Attack
Rise Against
The Mars Volta

[biografiend]

The Jolly Rogers


Have you found/gotten their demo yet? I've been scavaging for them on soulseek for awhile and havent found anything by them.

Lately I have been listening to Ester Drang. heavily. They are a nice dreamy post-rock-esque band.

[Interstate]

Today was an especially gangsta day for me :lol:

I listened to Mobb Deep, Eric B & Rakim, Run DMC, De La Soul & Compton's Most Wanted.

"It's Tricky!" :lol: - man that song is in my head now.

[TalkingHead]

Joanna NewSom
Sun Kil moon

[asymm]

Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock & Roll
Just came in from Amazon.co.uk... long while to come here to Illinois...

[not_just_another_drummer]

I've been listening to all sorts of music lately. None of the bands are particularly new, just as awesome as they come. Some of my favorite songs/artists as of now are:

The Decemberists - "July, July"
The Arcade Fire - "Neighborhood #3 (Power Out)"
Rilo Kiley - "Always"
Spoon - "Sister Jack"
Dashboard Confessional - "Bend and Not Break"
Bright Eyes - "Bowl of Oranges"
The Shins - "New Slang" <-- especially wonderful
Death Cab for Cutie - "Blacking Out the Friction"
The Postal Service - "Sleeping In"
The Thrills - "big sur"
The Von Bondies - "cmon cmon"
The Ataris - "teenage riot"
Wilco - "Kamera"

[br3ad_man]

^^ no.

On topic, Doves, The Arcade Fire and Amplifier

[Iai]

Did you actually purchase the album? It doesn't seem obtainable here in the states.
Sadly, no. I went on a few psytrance forums, and the only people who have actually managed to buy it so far are people lucky enough to live in Japan.

I looked at all the usual sources and nowhere was stocking it. I didn't break my back looking for it, though, since money's pretty tight for me right now.

[Iai]

Oh yeah.

Shpongle
Kraftwerk (add Minimum-Maximum to the list of reasons for 2005's ownage)
Death From Above 1979
Abba
