[pixiesfanyo]

Kelly Clarkson

[Robert Crumb]

Digging Gainsbourg right now, writing another review fer him.

[Zappa]

Duke Ellington at Newport in 1956 (the real concert, from the 1999 reissue)
Red Garland's Piano

[Tangy zizzle]

Cardinal - Cardinal
Oneida - The Wedding

Finally, more appreciation for ^ that band.

[YDload]

Is there a major difference between Oneida and Unida? I mean, I know you like both of them Tangy.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah, pretty big difference actually.

Unida are very straightforward rock, whereas Oneida are a big mash up of krautrock, jazz-stuff, psychadelia and hard rock.

I prefer Oneida to Unida.

[Dog]

Each One Teach One and Secret Wars are so great. I don't think I've ever heard anything by Unida, though

Lately I've been digging Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary.

[asymm]

Lately I've been digging Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary.

Peanut Butter Wolf - My Vinyl Weighs a Ton

Awesome album.

Today I've been fancying These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home along with Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice and Audit in Progress.

[incubliss]

constantly listening to Aha Shake Hearbreak, as i saw Kings 3 nights ago, and i guess hysteria still has a firm grip on me.

[Bukowski]

Awesome album.

Today I've been fancying These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers or the Lion Sleeps When Its Antelope Go Home along with Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice and Audit in Progress.

Very nice, two awesome bands.

I've been diggin' Spoon quite a bit.

My Dad came in today and said "Listen to some Steve Hillage" so i did and i was blown away!! What a guitarist!! (if you don't know who he is, he used to be guitarist for Gong)

[ATM]

Tipper is amazing

[Robert Crumb]

Awesome album.

I concur.

[Tsuruka]

Been diggin' Kasabian. I heard "Club Foot" on my PSP Demo disc, bought the album the next day. Absolutley amazing stuff, a good mix of Britpop, Synthpop, and Industrial.

Some tracks employ weird tatics, like layers of synth becoming the beat, bass mixed loader than guitars.

Reccomended tracks:

- Club Foot
- Processed Beats
- Reason Is Treason
- Cutt Off

[Happymeal]

Kawabata Makoto and Keiji Haino - Incubation
Q and Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep
Eisley - Room Noises(thanks to whoever mentioned them)

[Parfait]

Absolutely Free

[Tangy zizzle]

The Make Up
Beehive & Barracudas
Dan Sartain
Brainiac

Oh yeah, I've declared The Stooges the greatest rock band ever.

[ATM]

Slint
PJ Harvey

[Parfait]

Oh yeah, I've declared The Stooges the greatest rock band ever.

They're up there.

[asymm]

Boredoms - Super AE

[Bandaid]

Futureheads rule.

So does Roy Orbison; no criticism for him here.

Orbison is very good stuff.



*hugs*

he had such a sad life story.

[charolastra]

Wilco :p

[br3ad_man]

Massive Attack
Sigur Ros
Explosions In The Sky

I was feeling crap yesterday.

[Luxor]

Wilco :p
I played "Atleast That's What You Said" on guitar yesterday. That's a dam good song.

[ATM]

Okkervil River

[Agrim]

Iron and Wine
Bright Eyes

[Parfait]

X's Los Angeles is spinning for my second time. I like it better, but I still don't quite view it as an uncontestable classic like some seem to.

[JonM]

Okkervil River

Me too, man. I had a first lesson with a new student like 25 min. away, and the album was almost EXACTLY the length of the trip there and back. It was great. Nothing transcendent, but it was undeniably great. I loved how it managed to be a sort of autobiographical concept album and still have songs that stood independently from each other.

[JonM]

Yeah, it was about a 6 out of 10 for me, which is a fairly high rating, but it wasn't quite unique enough to deserve better recognition.

[br3ad_man]

That album title dissapoints me. It's not like Faith No More didn't use it 8 years ago or anything.

[Little Man being Erased]

Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight
Lagwagon - Let's Talk About Feelings
Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds Five

[Parfait]

Jay-Z's Black Album really is good, I don't care what sort of prejudices you hold against mainstream rap.

[TalkingHead]

Jay-Z's Black Album really is good, I don't care what sort of prejudices you hold against mainstream rap.

It's a good record. And everyone who says mainstream hiphop is aweful is moronic. Agreed that mainstream hiphop does have it's fair share of bad artists, but it still has its gems; and the same goes to every other musical genre.

I HATE people who say rap = crap. I always have to control myself from shoving a shoe down their throats.

To remain on topic:
Okkervil River - Black Sheep boy
World's End Girlfriend - Farwell Kingdom
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone

[pixiesfanyo]

That album title dissapoints me. It's not like Faith No More didn't use it 8 years ago or anything.

It's suppose to be a reflection of every month.

They aren't using it in the same context as Faith No More.

[Zappa]

That album title dissapoints me. It's not like Faith No More didn't use it 8 years ago or anything.

There's an 80s Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers record by the same name as well.

[Dog]

Today at work I went through a few Duke Ellington albums:

Daybreak Express
Masterpieces by Ellington
Black, Brown and Beige(live)
... and His Mother Called Him Bill
Duke Ellington and John Coltrane
Such Sweet Thunder

Once I start listening to Duke, I can't stop.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I've been digging Butch Walker's Left Of Self-Centered, as I've been doing an album review for it, to be submitted shortly.

[Little Man being Erased]

Hah, when you posted the other day saying that you did your first Sputnik review I was almost certain it was gonna be a Butch Walker album. :)

[The NPC]

I'm prepping myself for Intonation Festival, so I've been listening to Tortoise. Broken Social Scene, Xiu Xiu, Les Savy Fav, etc.

Tortoise is ace.

[asymm]

I'm prepping myself for Intonation Festival, so I've been listening to Tortoise. Broken Social Scene, Xiu Xiu, Les Savy Fav, etc.

Indeed. I am definitely doing the same. Both day passes ?

[charolastra]

i listened to that song over and over again. mahn...

[br3ad_man]

It's suppose to be a reflection of every month.

Fair enough then. It's an overused title used as an overused term. Or something.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Hah, when you posted the other day saying that you did your first Sputnik review I was almost certain it was gonna be a Butch Walker album. :)

Haha, I'm so predictable.

Butch Walker (http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=2716&genreid=6) :cool:

Intonation Festival looks like it would be fun.

[Happymeal]

Rogue Wave - Out of the Shadow

I'm really feelin' Codeine, though one of my downloaded albums is missing a track.

[UltimaTap]

I've been really into eletronic stuff like Aphex Twin and The Chemical Bros.




...and Danzig :x

[UltimaTap]

Ya know it, Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada are probably my favorite eletronic music

[3rdplanet]

I've been really into eletronic stuff like Aphex Twin and The Chemical Bros.




...and Danzig :x

Danzig are bad ***, which album/s?

I have been listening to Genesis and dEUS.

[UltimaTap]

Danzig I (or the self titled one, whatever)
I don't think I've ever heard any Danzig songs that weren't from that album, but I can't put it down.

[pixiesfanyo]

Sufjan Stevens
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
The Fall

[Little Man being Erased]

I love Ben Folds and his Five.

[pixiesfanyo]

I love Ben Folds and his Five.

They are coming up here with Rufus.

Should I go? It's like 15-20$

[Little Man being Erased]

Definitely. Ben Folds is a great live performer. I haven't actually seen him live, but I have his live album. And Rufus Wainwright too? You can't pass that up.

[br3ad_man]

Definitely. Ben Folds is a great live performer. I haven't actually seen him live, but I have his live album. And Rufus Wainwright too? You can't pass that up.

He once played on some midday show and started smashing his piano stool on the piano. This is an Oprah type show.

[Little Man being Erased]

He is completely awesome. I met him at a signing thing once actually.


I think I'm finally completely digging The Smiths. I've had Meat is Murder and The Queen is Dead for a while now, but I've only just really fell in love with them.

NP: "Bigmouth Strikes Again"

[Zappa]

Patti Smith
The Ramones
Dresden Dolls

[The NPC]

The Seeds

[Little Man being Erased]

I dare say, the Smiths are my favorite band of all time. Four astonishingly good albums, one excellent collection of B-sides, and zero bad releases.Awesome. I now just need to get my hands on the rest of their catalogue.

[Parfait]

999
Blondie

I haven't finished listening to it, but no boredom so far.

Dresden Dolls

I'm starting to like her voice a lot more now.

[Luigi Pimentel]

Man, I've been listening to alot of Modest Mouse and Jimi hendrix lately.

[Parfait]

Trout Mask Replica

[Robert Crumb]

Today has been a Rita Lee, Talking Heads, LCD Soundsystem, Beach Boy day.

[Parfait]

Speaking of Talking Heads: I just finally watched Stop Making Sense last night. I have no idea why it took me so long, considering they're practically my favorite band. The film is unbelievable.

[Bartender]

Since you're all already talking about Talking Heads, I may as well join in. Why is the live album (The Name of This Band is Talking Heads) always seem to be so expensive? Along with The Wall, it's the album I most often see, seemingly without reason, overpriced.

[Iai]

Don't forget The White Album and Bitches Brew for that category.

[Bartender]

Oh yeah, Bitches Brew. To be honest I've never attempted to buy the White Album before though, so I haven't noticed that one.

[3rdplanet]

Danzig I (or the self titled one, whatever)
I don't think I've ever heard any Danzig songs that weren't from that album, but I can't put it down.

Yeah it's a killer album.

I haven't been listening to any particular artists recently, just random in iTunes.

Songs which stand at as being fantastic are;

Drug Ballad - Eminem
Choir Theme - Metal Gear Solid
Tiger of San Pedro - John La Barbera

EDIT: I lie, I have been mostly listening to In Flames and Undercurrent from Bill Evans and Jim Hall.

[br3ad_man]

Blood Brothers

[pixiesfanyo]

Two Dead Sluts, One Good ****

[Tangy zizzle]

Hot Snakes concert.

Never ever again will I witness a band like this. The world sucks, but there's always CD's or whatever. I met speedo, he's nice etc..

Care.

[br3ad_man]

Have you been drinking?

[Tangy zizzle]

Just water with electrolyte constituents in it. Dehydration's a drag.

[br3ad_man]

It is indeed.

[Electrocution]

Surfer Rosa and everything psychedelic.

I got it for liek 20USD. Quite agreeable, I'd say.

And it's worth at least 40USD, so just cough it up.

[br3ad_man]

So I should have bought it when it was on sale for $16 AU?

[Parfait]

Yes, buy buy buy.

I never noticed the "liek" in that post. Ick.

[br3ad_man]

What a shame it's gone up to $35. I don't have that much money so I'll have to wait until it goes on sale again or I see it on ebay.

I love it. I gave it 5/5 on RYM - only one of 4 post-2000 albums to get that distinction.

The Mamas & The Papas are the band they sound most like. Also, Prefab Sprout, The Meat Puppets (a little), The Lovin' Spoonful, The Flaming Lips, and The Beach Boys. Just really happy, poppy stuff, drenched in sunny boy-girl vocal harmonies.

[Happymeal]

Hot Water Music - A Flight and a Crash
Dresden Dolls - s/t
Cat Power - Moon Pix
Peccatum - Lost in Reverie

Some nice tunes right there.

[Interstate]

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Take Me To Your Leader by King Geedorah, Death Cab, Xiu Xiu, Dosh, listened to 65daysofstatic for the first time - I liked them, Death From Above 1979 (wow, 2 bands with death in the name, they'll think I'm 'goth').

[pixiesfanyo]

Tom Waits - Real Gone
Queens of The Stone Age - Rated R

[Parfait]

The Residents. I think I'm finally getting into the Commercial Album. It's only been...9 months since I bought it?

I have a hard time getting into short songs usually. I don't think there is much that can be done in a minute and that was one of the reasons it's been very hard to me to get into this album. But I want to get more material by the Residents now that I've been able to get into this album.

[Parfait]

The Filaments, Murphy's Law, The Exploited, US Bombs, and Deadline. Since I went to see them all today.

Agnostic Front also played, but they were pretty sucky.

The new Xiu Xiu record, as I see it, bears a much stronger similarity to A Promise rather than the previous record, Fabulous Muscles. It's much quieter with less poppy moments that you found on the last one. While not quite as alienating as A Promise may feel, I don't see it as accessible as Fabulous Muscles was. I've really enjoyed it and as time progresses it's definitely grown on me. I'm excited to see these songs performed next weekend at Intonation :D

Anybody who's going to Intonation, I hope you get mildly ill.

[Tangy zizzle]

I am slightly, but then I think of seeing Hot Snakes and seeing Bullet Train to Vegas (yeah, that's right Jehu fans) live and it doesn;t seem so bad.

But still, Intonation looks damm good this year. So yeah, I hope you break a finger or get a severe headache.

[Little Man being Erased]

How good were Hot Snakes? Too good.

[Tangy zizzle]

Tightest band I've ever seen, seriously. The thing is, it wasn't the best show I've seen (kudos Mr. Harper) but it's just that all of their songs are so good and half of 'em are damm near perfect. The first few notes of Suicide Invoice are just deathly. I'm gutted I didn't get Our work fills the pews. The Sydney show got a 10 minute rendition of LUAU (DLJ) to finish the night off. Bastards.

Oh yeah, I still don't know why it hurts...??

[Little Man being Erased]

You got me stumped.

It sure was a great show. Damn loud too. I was hoping to see them do "Salton City," but it was a close to perfect set anyway. They finished with a lengthier version of "Let It Come" in Brissy.

[Tangy zizzle]

****, I'm still pumped over this. The next rock band I see has got some work to do to try and top or even match that show.

Music sucks man.

[Little Man being Erased]

Indeed.

[NineBitFable]

The Music - s/t

Pretty good album, but some songs just bore me on it.

[Dog]

Laughing Hyenas - Hard Times
A Gun Called Tension - A Gun Called Tension
Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Tender Prey

[Parfait]

Early Minutemen stuff. A few days ago a guy I know sent me the three Post-Merch compilation sets. I just listened to The Punchline and Buzz and Howl Under the Influence of Heat 12''s and they're both awesomely awesome.

[Little Man being Erased]

Double awesome, eh? I should check Minutemen out.


My two favourite bands at the moment are Hot Snakes and The Smiths.

[Parfait]

You haven't listened to Minutemen? Double Nickels on the Dime is something you will hear very soon, in that case.

[YDload]

Yeah, Minutemen is an awesome band. "Spillage" came up on my playlist and I just had to play along with it on my bass. Mike Watt is one of the coolest bassists ever; all of his basslines sound perfect.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, I've been meaning to for a while, seeing as they get so much praise around these parts.

[Dog]

None of their other albums get enough credit. Don't stop with Double Nickels On The Dime.

[Parfait]

Well, after I got DNotD I got What Makes a Man Start Fires?, Ballot Results, and 3-Way Tie For last, and none of those are very good. Now that I'm going through this post-mersh stuff I'm finding that some of their other albums are actually worth hearing.

[Well_Respected_Man]

It's highly unlikley not to like the Minutemen

My Daggage!
!!! - Lounden Up Now
Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted
Soft Machine - One and Two (least static records ever)
Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance and Dub Housing
Blood, Sweat, and Tears - The Best of
Gang of Four - A Brief History of the Twentieth Century
Nuggest - Every compilation they ever did
1234 Punk and New Wave box set
Left Of the Dial 80's underground box set
Radiohead - Kid A
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

Yeah that's mostly the last few weeks.

Yeah, I know what you mean. At first I didn't care much for Ballot Results or 3-Way Tie For Last, but after a while of DNOTD being my only Minutemen interest I decided to give them another chance, and I found them to be more enjoyable than before. I've never heard What Makes a Man Start Fires? Anyway, check out Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat. It's my favorite MM album after DNOTD.

[Parfait]

Yeah Buzz Or Howl is great.

[Tangy zizzle]

What Makes a Man Start Fires? = my favourite Minutemen album.


/hides away from Zaphoid's iron e-Glare\

[YDload]

Yeah I checked out some of their other albums, but the only one that really appealed to me was Buzz or Howl.

But which one has "Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs?"

[Parfait]

WMaMSF really isn't so bad, it's just not great. It doesn't have the same sort of momentum that Buzz Or Howl and Double Nickels possess.

The album cover in my avatar is from a recording of the Robert Shaw Festival Singers performing Vespers, Op. 37 by Sergei Rachmaninoff. It's a beautiful thing.

[Tangy zizzle]

See above your post Ian

[br3ad_man]

The Blood Brothers are kicking my arse. 5 days to go.

[Parfait]

I get no credit for pimping beautiful choral music to the alt & indie forum.

[Ganondorf]

I'm liking The Postal Service and Hot Snakes at the moment.

[The NPC]

What Makes a Man Start Fires? = my favourite Minutemen album.


/hides away from Zaphoid's iron e-Glare\

What Makes a Man Start Fires? is a great album.

^What type of muzak?

[Tomahawk]

It's pop rock and it's awesome. I think it's my favourite album this year.

[ATM]

I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. I finally checked out the Magic Numbers, after seeing Iai whoring them. Very cool album.

[music.chick]

new band called STAND

Irish rock, i never heard of them until i saw their show at my school. they're pretty awesome. check out www.standland.com

Next show is in dublin, but they'll be in Buffalo (NY) in August. =)

[Iai]

I've been hearing quite a bit of quiet hype developing around Devin Davis. I'm definitely interested.

Edit: Especially since me and Tomahawk agree on practically everything. Except The Magic Numbers. :p

[Tomahawk]

I might give them another chance. I'm pretty generous like that.

[Iai]

Man, I just realised, I must have played Gigantic about 20 times today. I'm THAT happy.

Oh, and I bought I Am A Bird Now yesterday. Muchly looking forward to digging that after dinner.

[pixiesfanyo]

I Would Set Myself On Fire For You
Hot Cross
Autechre

[drumm3rgirl]

lately ive been listening to the clash and big audio dynamite....they have some great lyrics, but if your looking for a cool drum beat, check out kryptonite by three doors down...its not that hard, but sounds awesome when you play it :thumb:

[Iai]

Oh, and I bought I Am A Bird Now yesterday. Muchly looking forward to digging that after dinner.
It's, uh.....interesting. Reminds me of Rufus Wainwright at first, except with a far more strange voice. I didn;t really settle into the flow of the album until the 5th or 6th track. I liked it though. I'll give it a couple more listens before judging properly.

[Little Man being Erased]

It's pop rock and it's awesome. I think it's my favourite album this year.
Did you buy that album (Devin Davis) from somewhere in Australia or did you order it from the US or something? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

[Little Man being Erased]

Since my above post I've listened to:

Talking Heads - Remain in Light
David Bowie - Low
The Clash - London Calling

[asymm]

I've been listening to...

Shining - In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster
Felt - Forever Breathes The Lonely Word

[br3ad_man]

Trying to dig "Illinois".

[Tomahawk]

Did you buy that album (Devin Davis) from somewhere in Australia or did you order it from the US or something? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.
I've been looking for it too, can't find it. I just have a downloaded copy for the moment.

[3rdplanet]

Can't stop listening to the Afghan Whigs.

Amazing group.
