What I've Been Digging Lately

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Clutch
The Bees
Isis
The Olivia Tremor Control

[Interstate]

Trying to dig "Illinois".

I still haven't heard that album :upset:

Today:

Oasis - Only Hits
Andrew Morgan - Misadventures In Radiology
The Cranberries - Everyone Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

[Little Man being Erased]

I've been looking for it too, can't find it. I just have a downloaded copy for the moment.Dang, I thought you were gonna point me in the right direction. Oh well.

In other news, I rediscovered why Radiohead is my favourite band and Kid A is my favourite album.

Also dug:

The Cure - Disintegration
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow

[Happymeal]

Hot Water Music
The Kills
Public Enemy
Blossom Toes

[Iai]

The Violent Femmes - The Violent Femmes (4/5)

Interesting record. The lyrics are really immature and selfish, but it's incredible how many of them I really relate to. Plus, it really reminds me of The Doors. But better.

Kaiser Cheifs - Employment (3/5)

Great singles, decidedly average album.

R Kelly - Trapped In The Closet (5/5)

:lol: Easily one of the most ludicrous, hilarious things ever conceived. I nearly wet myself when one of the parts finished with '....and it was a man!' Utter, utter genius. But damnit, we need a Part 6 where Kelly shoots the policeman!!!

I also dug my Tori Amos collection on random after hearing her new single on the TV (Sweet The Sting). It sounds nothing like the other stuff I have by Tori, but damn, it's good. (I think I'm fast becoming a fanboy here.)

[Parfait]

A guy I know who has moved on to a college about 2 hours away sent me some data CDs of music, and they arrived today. About forty new albums to wade through...

[Robert Crumb]

R Kelly - Trapped In The Closet (5/5)

:lol: Easily one of the most ludicrous, hilarious things ever conceived. I nearly wet myself when one of the parts finished with '....and it was a man!' Utter, utter genius. But damnit, we need a Part 6 where Kelly shoots the policeman!!!

Sounds classic. :cool:

Went and bought Television Personalities' ...And Don't The Kids Love It since what I was looking for wasn't there. I can't ever remember what I wanted now.

[Little Man being Erased]

A guy I know who has moved on to a college about 2 hours away sent me some data CDs of music, and they arrived today. About forty new albums to wade through...
Sounds like fun, or boredom, depending.

[Parfait]

The tagging and album art storing has been hell so far. But I'm anal about that sort of thing.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, so am I. Luckily, I don't have all that much music stored on my computer.

[Parfait]

I'm liking this Liars album that he sent, They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top. Should I not be?

[Little Man being Erased]

I dunno. I can't stand them because I saw them live once. One of the worst live bands I've ever seen. I've never heard an album.

[Dog]

Same, I've never heard an album of theirs but I hated them live.

[Parfait]

I sort of had the sneaking suspicion that they were looked down upon on this forum. Oh well, they're neat.

[Little Man being Erased]

Each to his own, I guess.

[Bartender]

I sort of had the sneaking suspicion that they were looked down upon on this forum. Oh well, they're neat.

Is your avatar the cover for the Vivaldi's Vespers recording that was released earlier this year (or late last year, I forget)?

Yeah, I'm basing that just on the presence of the word Vespers.

[Parfait]

It's the cover to the Robert Shaw Festival Singers doing Rachmaninoff's Vespers, Op. 37.

[Parfait]

Listened to You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr, which is another one of the albums that came in the mail. The only other DJ experience I had was Where You Been, and this utterly blows that one (which I've never liked much, bar the opening track) away entirely.

[Tangy zizzle]

Liars are cool. Overrated, but very cool nonetheless.

[Electrocution]

Tortoise and Red Sparowes. Today totally post-rocked.

[montanawildhak]

Camera Obscura, M83 and Fiery Furnaces E.P.

[AK47]

M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts

[Tangy zizzle]

AK47 now niggah stop that!

[AK47]

Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral

:cool:

[Tangy zizzle]

Nice.

Clinic - Winchester Cathedral

:p

[Little Man being Erased]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus

[charolastra]

Today i was digging :

Fight Club OST
Explosions in the Sky
Team Sleep
RATM
Interpol

nice. :p

[Bartender]

It's the cover to the Robert Shaw Festival Singers doing Rachmaninoff's Vespers, Op. 37.

Well it looks like a fairytale.


I'm listening to Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and really digging it for the first time.

Hot Snakes fans/anyone, really: are Earthless any good?

[Iai]

This morning, Dredg - Catch Without Arms and Elliott Smith - A Basement...... (both 4/5).

[Tomahawk]

It's been like:

Brainiac - Bonsai Superstar
Morphine - Cure for Pain
Drive By Truckers - Southern Rock Opera
Bela Fleck & the Flecktones - Live Art
The Magic Numbers (gave their album another shot, enjoyed it quite a bit more than I did before)

[Parfait]

A local band (well, local to a town a few hours away from here) from the mid to late 90s called The Pounding. They sort of sound like Hot Snakes meets Big Black.

[Zmev]

The Fall - Totale's Turns (It's Now or Never)

[Iai]

Antony & The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now
Pixies - Bossanova (I think I may like this even more than Doolittle)
Sam Cooke - Portrait of A Legend

And right now? Trapped In The mo'****in' Closet. Seriously cannot get enough of this.

[Happymeal]

Nation of U are soooooo good. Listening to everything they got 'cept the EP.

[Iai]

Seeing them all in a row is an experience to say the least. I'm forcing my mum to watch them with me tonight. :D

[Parfait]

I want mp3s please.

I'm going to attempt to upload their album to YouSendit. I'll edit the link into this post if it succeeds.

[3rdplanet]

Went to watch a local band last night. In between playing all their electro-pop stuff, they busted out a **** near perfect rendition of The Only Moment We Were Alone, so today has been an EitS day.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm digging Sigur Rós and Björk today.

[The NPC]

DOA
Chavez

[Little Man being Erased]

Radiohead and Interpol.

[Bukowski]

Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
QOTSA - Songs for the Dead
Pavement - Terror Twilight

3 kickass albums.

[fingis]

broken social scene - lovers spit
bright eyes - false advertising
flaming lips - it's summertime
the promise ring - nothing feels good

great songs!

[asymm]

Four Tet - Everything Ecstatic

Next I'm moving on towards
Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt

Just listening to some Intonation stuff... only a couple days away. Very much excited. I'm also looking forward to the record sale going on there, hoping to pick up a few things that I could never find here at home. We'll see how it goes.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Rufus Wainwright's Want Two, as I've been reviewing it:

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=2834&genreid=26

[Little Man being Erased]

The Beatles - Abbey Road

[AK47]

Nice

The Sermon - Volume

[Parfait]

Dinosaur Jr still, but the Bug album, this time.

[Parfait]

Hey Nacho, here's The Pounding's self-titled album uploaded on YSI:

http://s31.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1IY6M5IV1RKK33IYMJ6O20AJ0E

[YDload]

http://coheedandcambria.com/bitchin/topsecret2.htm

This new song is awesome. Looks like Coheed and Cambria have beaten Sum 41 in the race for a pop-punk band to become metal.

Well, hopefully. The new album probably also has their poppiest song to date, just like the last one had The Crowing and Favor House Atlantic on the same CD!

[Tangy zizzle]

Roxy Music
Patti Smith
Mudhoney

[asymm]

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - I See A Darkness
An album that I truly love. One that I hold dearest.

[Tangy zizzle]

Hell yes asymm, hell yes.

[br3ad_man]

I should check out this/these Bonnie 'Prince' Billy character(s),

[i like birds]

Howl Howl Gaff Gaff - Shout Out Louds

an excellent album :thumb:

[Dave de Sylvia]

I should check out this/these Bonnie 'Prince' Billy character(s),

Get Master & Everyone.

NP: Buckcherry

[Tomahawk]

A lot of Brainiac today. Plus some Jane's Addiction.

[Bukowski]

Morphine. It's excellent stuff (the band of course, not the drug).

[el doctor]

XM's "Music Lab" station just got even cooler because they were playing Morphine the other day.

I've been away, so all the albums I've been digging lately are some of my all-time favorite go-to-sleep albums.

My Bloody Valentine - Loveless
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Air - Moon Safari

[The NPC]

Chameleons UK - Strange Times

Great album.

I'm feeling under the weather today so it's a Jesus Lizard day.

[asymm]

Chameleons UK - Strange Times
Great album.

Agreed, that's a fantastic one.

[Luxor]

Explosions In The Sky - How Strange, Innocence
The Dismemberment Plan - Change
American Football - S/T

[YDload]

Journey

[Parfait]

I'm still digging through the 35 new albums I got from my buddy through the mail. He has yet to let me down through the first 5 or 6 I've listened to so far. Right now I'm digging into:

7 Seconds - Walk Together, Rock Together

Good hardcore punk, with a silly cover of "99 Red Balloons."

[asymm]

The Microphones - Mt. Eerie

[Parfait]

On second thought, 7 Seconds is just sort of a bad Minor Threat.

[Happymeal]

On second thought, 7 Seconds is just sort of a bad Minor Threat.

Out of curiosity, are you familiar with Ken Nordine?

[Parfait]

Nope.

[Broken Bow]

Morphine is one of the greatest bands ever.

Yeah, pretty much.

[Iai]

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (4/5, might become a 4.5 with time)
The Decemberists - Picaresque (4.5/5)

Plus more Pixies.

[Smackers]

The Tuna Helpers

[fingis]

No way!!!!!

[Smackers]

No way!!!!!

Is that a band or is it in reply to The Tuna Helpers? Or are you being sarcastic? Make your statements clear man!

[Anxious]

Pere Ubu-Dub Houseing

[Tangy zizzle]

Nice. 'tis a top disc. Do you like/know of Rocket from the Tombs?

Today:

The Stooges - Metallica K.O
Woven Hand - Blush Music (this is good shizz)
The Drones

[br3ad_man]

Architecture In Helsinki is something I'm enjoying this morning. Trying to dig "Illinois" still, but so far the only memorable song is the first one (which is awesome by the way).

[Dog]

Richard Hell & the Voidoids - Blank Generation
The Modern Lovers - The Modern Lovers
Neu! - Neu!
And a little bit of Tom Waits.

"Illinois"
I tried, but I just can't get into this.

[Happymeal]

Woven Hand - Blush Music (this is good shizz)

Better than Consider the Birds?

Bought In on the Kill Taker awhile ago, so I'm digging that+

The Thermals
Gang Starr
Nebula

[Tangy zizzle]

Yes, it is better.

Now go to bed.

[Anxious]

Nice. 'tis a top disc. Do you like/know of Rocket from the
tombs?
That was the precurser to Pere Ubu right? Never heard them. Whats a good album to start out on?

[Happymeal]

Yes, it is better.

Now go to bed.

K babysitter.

[ATM]

Elbow

[br3ad_man]

Elbow have some amazing songs.

[ATM]

Yea I just got the new album. Quite good.

[br3ad_man]

There's a new album? Or are you talking about Cast of Thousands?

[The NPC]

Greg Ginn's solo work

[Parfait]

My own stuff. EEEEEEGO.

[Doctor D.]

American Music club is the bomb diggity.

[br3ad_man]

I didn't know anyone said 'bomb diggity' besides my friend and my other friend who always copies the first friend.

[Doctor D.]

I didn't know anyone said 'bomb diggity' besides my friend and my other friend who always copies the first friend.

I usually don't. I wanted to say **** but I was too lazy to get around the curse filter. So I just thought about any adjective and bomb diggity came out.

[Tangy zizzle]

In other news:

Angels of Light > Woven Hand.

Man, this dude wants to be M. Gira so bad it hurts.

[br3ad_man]

I usually don't. I wanted to say **** but I was too lazy to get around the curse filter. So I just thought about any adjective and bomb diggity came out.

hah, fair enough

[Interstate]

This morning:

Oasis - What's The Story, Morning Glory?
Death Cab - Soul Meets Body (new single)

Haven't listened to much music today so far.

[ATM]

There's a new album? Or are you talking about Cast of Thousands?

It's called Leaders Of the Free World.

[Interstate]

It's called Leaders Of the Free World.

I loved Cast Of Thousands. I gotta check the new album out.

[Bukowski]

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Mission of Burma - Vs
Shellac - 1000 Hurts

WOWZERZ WOWZERZ WOWZERZ. Yeah its good shizznizzle.

[ATM]

The new Dandy Warhols is neat.

[Tomahawk]

Woah, the Dandys have a new song/album? Details plz.

[ATM]

It's a new album called Odditorium or Warlords of Mars.

[Luxor]

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Mission of Burma - Vs
Shellac - 1000 Hurts

WOWZERZ WOWZERZ WOWZERZ. Yeah its good shizznizzle.
Three albums I still have on my "to check out" list.

[Iai]

Al Green.

Yummy.

[Mr Observations]

Air
Kraftwerk

They may not be indie, but they're gooooooood. I'm gettin myself some Computer lovin' right now.

[Iai]

Of course they're good, Kraftwerk are the best facking band ever. :)

[Mr Observations]

I dunno if theyre my favourite ever, but they're sure as hell influential. Ya know, what with practically creating electronic music and influencing almost every band that sprang from the 80s.

I think Trans Europe Express is my favourite album of theirs, or maybe Computer World. Who cares, they're all awesome.

[Iai]

Mine's The Man-Machine. But yeah, pre-The Mix, they're all great.

[Anxious]

Sun City Girls-Torch of the Mystics

Thanks to the Cameo Role.

[The NPC]

The Urinals

[ToolBox]

The Arcade Fire and The Magic Numbers (thanks Iai!)

[Robert Crumb]

Yummy.

Agreed.

The only thing I've really been listening to is Television Personalities. But now I'm thinking I may put on an Al Green album after it goes through.

[Parfait]

With all the black soul and rap music you like, "Robert Crumb," it surprises me you don't seem to be much of a jazz fan.

[Robert Crumb]

Or much of a blues fan. Crumb was big on blues, too. He did a great comic about the life and times of Charlie Patton. But yeah, I'm a mediocre fan of both genres at best. I'm learning. I've still got a pretty large queue of jazz albums to get hold of.

[ATM]

He did an awesome picture of Robert Johnson.

[Robert Crumb]

Yep, saw it on his website. Very handsome piece.

[Parfait]

I just sat in the dark with my glasses off and listened to Ambient 1: Music for Airports by Brian Eno and wrote (typed) how it made me think and feel. It was a fantastic experience.

[Interstate]

Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice
Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape

[ATM]

The National are pretty cool.

[Parfait]

I'm listening to the teaser track from the new Blackalicious album right now, and it's good. Restores my faith that this album will rule, despite Gift's sort of lackluster solo record.

The track can be found at www.solesides.com, as the second news item for June 27.

[Robert Crumb]

I just sat in the dark with my glasses off and listened to Ambient 1: Music for Airports by Brian Eno and wrote (typed) how it made me think and feel. It was a fantastic experience.

I like to type without my glasses, too. It's kind of liberating in some odd way.

It's my elder sister's birthday today so that, in conjunction with the birthday song thread, has me thinking about birthday party songs and The Birthday Party in general.

[Little Man being Erased]

Sweet! Downloading now...



I finally managed to pick up a copy of Deltron 3030 on the weekend, so obviously, I've been diggin' that (in the small amount of time I had for listening to music over the weekend).

[The NPC]

The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour LP
Beat Happening - Black Candy

[ATM]

The Blue Van - The Art of Rolling

[Little Man being Erased]

So, that new Blackalicious song is pretty dang great.

[Zappa]

Indeed.

[Doctor D.]

The Fall - Hex Enduction Hour LP


"When what used do excite you does not, like you've used up all your allowance of experiences."

Love that album.

[Happymeal]

Oxes
Melvins
Antibalas
Richard Hell & The Voidoids(I really love his singing)

[Little Man being Erased]

Deltron 3030
Okkervil River
Kraftwerk
John Coltrane
Shpongle

[Zappa]

I listened to Shpongle today as well. I melt with joy every time I play Tales of the Inexpressible.

And Amazon.co.uk finally started selling their new one, so I'll have that as soon as it makes it over the pond and to my mailbox.

[Little Man being Erased]

I've only heard the new one, it's bloody great. I have it downloaded, thanks to Iai. I haven't been able to find any of their albums around here.

[Zappa]

I decided I didn't want to download the thing before it was available to purchase, since I just make a rule against downloading unauthorized (as in, not up on an official website) pre-release material.

Now that it's available, I decided to just shell out for it after all. I've been patient.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, I'm usually the same, I never like to hear something before its release, I rarely download entire albums at all. But if it's something that's not available in Australia or really difficult to find, I consider downloading.

[Zappa]

I prefer to download things from the 90s or earlier (because it saves a lot of money, and the people involved with actually making the record probably don't need the money, due to death etc), and I like to purchase releases from the past 4+ years.

[magicbus]

I started listening to Funkadelic yesterday. Now I love it.

[Bandaid]

Supergrass

[Interstate]

Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape
Notorious B.I.G - Life After Death

[Smackers]

Kaada - Thank you for Giving Me Your Valuable Time

[ATM]

I got a great CD called An Overdose of Heavy Pysch. It is awesome..

[Bartender]

I listened to Shpongle today as well. I melt with joy every time I play Tales of the Inexpressible.

And Amazon.co.uk finally started selling their new one, so I'll have that as soon as it makes it over the pond and to my mailbox.

Why Amazon.co.uk?

[Zappa]

Because Amazon.com does not yet sell it.

[Bartender]

I should have thought it would be something that simple.

[thirdeyeblindislit]

I'm actually really likeing Reggie and the full effect, especially their song "Get Well Soon", and I also like a local AZ band that you can check out on purevolume.com called Dream State, once called Casey Jones. They are great!

[ATM]

Wow, Esbjorn Svenssons Trio are amazing. If you like jazz, check them out. They are very Radiohead influenced.

[Bukowski]

'Sup Captain Beefheart

[asymm]

Just got back from Intonation and it was quite amazing. So all those bands and all the records I bought are currently spinning. Excellent festival, but damned hot.

[Mr Observations]

I dig anyone with tha moves, and Talking Heads have sure as heck got tha moves.

And Aphex Twin, hes gottha moves too.

[Iai]

Common - Be (4.5/5)
Kate Bush - The Dreaming (3/5)

Also some Juno Reactor.

[asymm]

How unbelievable was Les Savy Fav? I almost caught a sweat-sponge.

Haha! Yeah, Tim Harrington is a complete madman. Loved their performance. I particularly got into the Hold Steady. I just love their music and later in the day I had the opportunity to meet and talk with their frontman, Craig Finn. Asked him a question about a small aspect of Separation Sunday's word usage and concept. And of course told him how much I enjoyed his set and his work.

It struck me as odd that I could see all these major players at Intonation walking around and no one had a clue. I saw Jason Molina, Craig Finn, and Jesse from DFA1979 just walking around the merch/record tables. Surreal.

[asymm]

I actually asked a friend why there were no band members walking around the grounds before/after their sets. I didn't notice a single one. It would have been awesome to have met Tim Harrington or Jamie Stewart.

Just odd luck then I guess. Yeah, meeting those two would be amazing. I'd particularly like to meet Jamie Stewart. I was very surprised/amused at his performance. He hardly touched Fabulous Muscles and it's by far his most listened to record. Plus he ignored the crowd's wishes! While I was satisfied hearing the La Foret material, my friends were annoyed and didn't like that material nearly as much.

[Little Man being Erased]

So far today I've listened to:

Minus the Bear - Highly Refined Pirates
Not exceedingly excellent, but enjoyable enough for a listen every now and then.
3.5/5

Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back
I like this album quite a lot, but I think it still needs to grow on me a little further. I have also discovered that this album needs to be listened to at high volume.
4.2/5

[pixiesfanyo]

Hey Nacho and Asymm.

How'd the sexual experience go?

[asymm]

We boned. It was disappointing.

:upset:

[Zappa]

I haven't been digging this thread lately.

[pixiesfanyo]

I'm not digging the album in your avatar.

Ambient 2 is much better.

[leiferikson]

Im liking Ambulance Ltd.'s lp a lot at this exact point in time as you are reading this.

[br3ad_man]

I need some new music I think. I'm starting to like Illinois though, finally.

[Giaeo]

I've been listening to Rain Dogs by Tom Waits. Good album.

[Dog]

Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow

[Luxor]

Lots of Death Cab lately. The new track really grew on me, and made me want to to listen to them more. I'm listening to You Can Play These Songs With Chords, the most under-rated album they have.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's their best so far.

[Interstate]

It's a very awesome album. Almost my favourite as well. I'm tied between that and We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes. The Smiths cover on YCSWTC is so good.

[Luxor]

Yeah, it's so good. The new stuff is too over-produced.

[Iai]

Art Blakey - Moanin' (4/5)

Sunny Day Real Estate - Diary (2/5)

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band (1/5 - only listened because I'm reviewing it)

Not a great day in all.

[Luxor]

Diary? 2/5? C'mon.

[Iai]

Didn't enjoy it in the slightest.

Sorry to go all Zappa on ya.... :p

[Zappa]

What's that supposed to mean?

Moanin' rules entirely.

[Iai]

Man, were your ears burning? You were all over that post!

It's about an old Nacho post about you not liking records the whole A&I community is supposed to love. Like Loveless and Forever Changes.

[Zappa]

Ah, got it.

[Tomahawk]

Been listening to:

Elliott Smith - XO
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Frou Frou - Details
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Brian Eno - Ambient 1
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism

I've been a complete indie-kid for the past few days. I think it's because I saw Garden State.

[Robert Crumb]

The last 24 hours has been a rush of:

X
Eric Dolphy
Television Personalities
Al Green
The Impressions
The Replacements
Eric B. and Rakim
Black Mountain

[Little Man being Erased]

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030 (Definitely 5/5)

[leiferikson]

This week Ive been introduced to 4 bands - New Idea Society, Dead Meadow, Ambulance Ltd and Autolux. I now have 4 new favourite bands.

Autolux are the ****. By which I mean theyre good

[Iai]

You got post 6666. :(

[leiferikson]

You got post 6666. :(

Is this good or bad?!

[Iai]

Oh, it's no big deal unless you're afraid of that whole 'eternal ****ation' thing.

[The_Hip_Priest]

The Fall is amazing, Hex Enduction Hour is their best album.

[Anxious]

The Fall is amazing, Hex Enduction Hour is their best album.
I like Grotesque better. But yes they are a great band. I love them.

Okay - Low Road and High Road

I've really enjoyed these two albums. I spoke to Absolutely Kosher's label head, Cory, about this album and got to hear the story behind these two releases. It was very interesting and quite nice to hear from someone so close to the source.

[RetiredAt21]

Been listening to:

Elliott Smith - XO

I've been a complete indie-kid for the past few days. I think it's because I saw Garden State.

Garden State is the best movie ever you are so indie if you watch it omg.

Am I the only one who didn't think that movie was God?

I pretty much listened to the Jolly Rogers all day today. Considering making another thread on them.

[Interstate]

It was frickin awesome. Watched it the other day for the first time. I've been listening to the soundtrack non-stop since. I didn't watch it because of the 'indie kid' thing though...

[br3ad_man]

Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I didn't think it was amazing.

[Interstate]

Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I didn't think it was amazing.

Meh, each to his own I guess. Have The Jolly Rogers released a full length yet?

It wasn't as good as Zach Braff's work on Scrubs.

Anyways

[br3ad_man]

Not yet. They do have another song for download, I'll get the link for you. They live in Texas and are finding it hard to get shows, would you believe it?

This is an alternate version of "The Bike, Sir" from their demo

http://www.thejollyrogers.org/thebikesir_acc.mp3

Not yet. They do have another song for download, I'll get the link for you. They live in Texas and are finding it hard to get shows, would you believe it?

This is an alternate version of "The Bike, Sir" from their demo

Garden State is the best movie ever you are so indie if you watch it omg.

Am I the only one who didn't think that movie was God?

I completely agree. It's just a conceptually watered down independent-looking film aimed for the less-than-young-adults. It hinted and desired to present substance and meaning, but that was mostly done through weak dialogue. I thought that specifically was a cop out way to add 'depth' to your writing. Don't get me wrong, it was a cute film with a few high school poignant moments, but it's not the end all be all.

I didn't say it was.

And I'm not indie because I watched Garden State, I'm indie because I have long hair and I wear a Sonic Youth t-shirt and I don't bathe.

[Iai]

Prince - Sign O The Times
Liz Phair - Exile In Guyville
Pixies - Bossanova

All solid 4/5ers.

[rbv]

They're pretty good. Some songs come off more indie and some songs come off more hip-hop. Personally I think thier best song is "Gold Front" so if you want to get a taste you can listen to that.

[Tomahawk]

I've been listening to "I" by A.R Kane. Anybody here heard them? I only found out about them recently, they're pretty good. Very trippy stuff.

[br3ad_man]

recently attended intonationfest so still kind of in an intonationy mood. the highlight albums that i've grown on are...

broken social scene - you forgot it in people
andrew bird - andrew bird and the mysterious production of eggs
ac newman - the slow wonder
xiu xiu - fabulous muscles
les savy fav - emor, rome upside down

the lattermost's studio music is hard to compare to their live show. it seriously was the greatest thing i've ever been to. if you ever get the oppurtunity, do not pass up going to a les savy fav show. you can't resist a chance to see a plump, bearded, balding, half-naked tim harrington dive down a slip n' slide through the audience. i've been checkin out this forum for a while. you guys know some great bands...

[Luxor]

Jimi Hendrix
The Roots
...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

Glad this generated some serious discussion and criticism. Thanks.

[masada]

I think the band is rather bland and boring, and the singer sounds horrible most of the time, especially live. They just sound really weak, and his vocals are always high in the mix, which doesn't make sense to me.

[asymm]

There we go. Thanks for explaining your view now. It's always interesting to hear oppositional views to my own. I think the flair of them for me is most definitely Craig Finn's lyrical content and his aggressive approach to the music. As you pointed how the vocals being high in the mix, well I think that is something essential considering their importance to the overall sound. As I can see your point on being 'bland' and 'boring' but for me I find their take on traditional 'bar' rock extremely interesting with the conceptual meaning and purpose behind it, the contrasting vocals to instruments, and of course the addition of the keyboard really does it for me :)

[Tomahawk]

Listening to TV On The Radio. I hope they make something new soon.
New album should be out later this year.

According to them, "The songs are quite delicious... we will crash into the sun."

[br3ad_man]

Sounds good to me.

[Happymeal]

Anyone here familiar with Cloroform? It's Kaada's band, and they kinda sound like Bullfrog(Kid Koala's band)

Oh yeah, Autolux are catchy as hell

[Doctor D.]

Asian Dub Foundation (I forget how much I love these guys), plus the new Buck 65, which I have no idea what to make of.

Some songs are outstanding. "Blan Bec" and "Le 65 isme" are the two stand outs for me.

[Tomahawk]

Been listening to some Afghan Whigs, and a bunch of various Motown stuff (especially the Jackson 5).

In preparation for my trip to Splendour in the Grass tomorrow, I have been listening to Ryan Adams and Interpol.

I've been digging the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah album, too. The first few listens that I gave it a couple of weeks ago didn't really fancy me, but I gave it another chance and now I really like it. Nothing spectacular, but a pretty solid album.

[liveevil]

!!! - !!!
necrophagist - epitaph
fly pan am - ceux qui inventent n'ont jamais vécu
make believe - shock of being

!!! is becoming one of my favorite bands. good dance-punk and fun to listen to. necrophagist is technical death metal with pristine recording... practically mechanical sounding.

[Daniel!]

I'm liking the Jolly Rogers demo I got from a thread about them.

[br3ad_man]

good to hear

[P3rSiAnP0wer]

I've been diggin the melvins, but I cant find anymore good songs by them...
