What I've Been Digging Lately

[pixiesfanyo]

Trail of Dead
Dredg
Metal Fingers and that Special Herb ****.

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to The Radio Dept. at the moment.

[ATM]

Do you mean the soundtrack to Somersault, by the band Decoder Ring? Or is this a different thang?

Whoops :-/

That's what I meant.

[asymm]

Squarepusher - Music Is Rotted One Note
Brilliant! Just picked this up today and it's exactly what I've been looking for recently.

[Happymeal]

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

help?

Get Houdini

Bought Nation of Ulysses' Plays Pretty for Baby today and I love it.

[vemz]

Minutemen - dnotd

[Anxious]

Who doesn't like Melt Banana or the Minutemen? :thumb:

[Bukowski]

Minutemen - dnotd

Nice. Double Nickels = one of my favourite albums.

I'm still digging Dead Kennedys. Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables is an awesome punk record.

[YDload]

You're saying it like he's new to Alt/Indie.

PS Nice name.

Definitely. In fact, I would go so far as to say American punk > British punk. By a long shot.

[Anxious]

Who doesn't like Melt Banana or the Minutemen?
An Idiot.

You're saying it like he's new to Alt/Indie.

Actually I'm new here, I almost never come in here.


PS Nice name.

Thanks.

[ATM]

I got this great Peter Tosh acoustic set off this radio show. He's a better guitar player then Marley, IMO.

[Robert Crumb]

I've got an evenin' with Stevie.

Music of My Mind
Talking Book
Innervisions

They're all gonna get the writeup treatment, sooner than later.

[Daniel!]

Sly and The Family Stone - There's a Riot Going On

I bought this album about 6 months ago and at first listen I thought it was crap. Everytime I listen to it I like it more and more. Right now I would probably give this album a 4.5/5. Family Affair is seriously one of the greatest R&B/Soul tracks ever.

Edit:

Could you YSI that?

Cool, thanks.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i really dont know where my mind is in the matter of music at the moment, its a mystery to me.

[ATM]

Cool, thanks.

Go check the YSI thread. It's there :)

[Iai]

The Dresden Dolls - The Dresden Dolls (4.5/5)
Yo La Tengo - Summer Sun (4/5)

[infract]

Xiu Xiu
Air
The Cure
The Troggs

[Little Man being Erased]

I listened to a lot of Queens of the Stone Age, Ryan Adams and Interpol over the weekend (saw 'em all live too).

I also heard the new Raveonettes album and I liked it a lot.

[ATM]

Blind Guardian
Pierre Fournier
Wilco
Say Hi To Your Mom
Kid Carpet
The Decemberists
Calexico
David Bowie
The Dandy Warhols
Radiohead
Peter Tosh

[Zappa]

I think I'm finally ready to open up to Sonic Youth. I hated them the first time I heard them, and wanted nothing to do with their music. Then a few months ago I had the urge to hear "Teenage Riot" for some odd reason, and found myself enjoying it. Now I'm listening to Daydream Nation, with intent to let it play the whole way through, and I think I'm going to appreciate this band on some level.

[Serapheus]

Interpol
Nirvana
Led Zeppelin

[The NPC]

Squirrel Bait rocks so hard.

That they do.

Rocket From the Tombs (Pere Ubu/The Dead Boys)

[br3ad_man]

Prince - Purple Rain

[Happymeal]

King Tubby & Soul Syndicate - Freedom Sounds in Dub

[ATM]

King Tubby & Soul Syndicate - Freedom Sounds in Dub

[Sound Boy]

Drive-By Truckers - "goddamn lonely love"

i really like that song right now. you should listen to it if you havent.
andtoday it was:

Nada Surf - Let Go
Third Eye Blind - Blue
TV on the Radio - desperate youth, blood thirsty babes
Pink Floyd - Meddle

have any of you heard of Turin Brakes? what do you think?

[The NPC]

Can you upload an album in the YSI thread? I can't find that for **** on soulseek.

Nope.

[Happymeal]

I likes 'em.

I think I'm starting to appreciate Metallica a bit more now *gasp*

[pixiesfanyo]

Black Sabbath
Pg. 99
M. Ward

[JonM]

I am really diggin Slint lately. First of all, post-rock with vocals is nice, but post-rock with spoken word vocals by a guy that can actually write a damn poem is wonderful. They've also got the same thing I like about Bark Psychosis: a strong rhythm section. It's the difference between their captivating epics and wannabes' plodding, boring, excruciatingly long experiments.

[donnydo77]

Marley and the Wailers GOLD.

[Robert Crumb]

Replacements, Richard Hell, Rita Lee and... um, RJD2.

Rrrrrrrrrrrr. Are.

[Little Man being Erased]

...Ryan Adams

[Smackers]

Sir Millard Mulch - How to Sell the Whole F#@!ing Universe to Everybody...Once and for All!

[asdf]

Sir Millard Mulch - How to Sell the Whole F#@!ing Universe to Everybody...Once and for All!
My brother talks to that guy on a different forum. He's got the biggest ego ever.

[Dog]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - s/t

can't stop listening to this. So, so good.
It really gets better with every listen, doesn't it? Today I've been digging that, Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World, and Afghan Whigs - Black Love.

Edit: Unediting Rocket From the Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream! despite the horrible album name.

[Dog]

Hehe, I realized how dumb that RFTC album title sounds, but what the hell: Rocket From The Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream!

[Zappa]

I listened to that RFtC album once and couldn't believe members of that band were in Hot Snakes, because I found it quite shabby.

[Dog]

Well they're not up to par with Hot Snakes, but to be honest I didn't even know that members of Hot Snakes were in RFTC until you just mentioned it, so I wasn't comparing the two.

[asymm]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - s/t

can't stop listening to this. So, so good.
I've found this to be decent, but just ordinary indie rock. It don't see it bringing out something that particularly new or overly interesting to the table. It's by no means bad, but nothing deserving of this attention.

[Luxor]

Jimi Hendrix, Matthew Barber and Weezer for me today.

[br3ad_man]

The Murder by Death album that DFelon reviewed. It's pretty cool on first listen, but I'd give it a 3.5/5

[Bandaid]

Jimi Hendrix
theredsunband
Airport City Shuffle
Calexico

[Tangy zizzle]

RFTC are awesome. Not as cool as Snakes or Jehu, but still awesome.

Speedo has a shiity voice though.

[ATM]

I've found this to be decent, but just ordinary indie rock. It don't see it bringing out something that particularly new or overly interesting to the table. It's by no means bad, but nothing deserving of this attention.

I agree, it's neither amazing or bad.

[Smackers]

Sir Millard Mulch - How to Sell the Whole F#@!ing Universe to Everybody...Once and for All!

Yeah, I'm going to be digging this album for quite a while.

[Bukowski]

I'm diggin Beck's Guero, it's better than i first thought, it's real cool.

Oh yeah, and Bear Vs. Shark (Right now you're in the best of hands). Their drummer is totally outstanding, really creative and technically adept. I need to get Terrorhawk soon.

[Zappa]

Nothing Lasts...But Nothing is Lost by Shpongle just came in the mail, so that's what's up next for me. Hopefully I can endorse it fully once I've played it.

[The NPC]

It's a Jam kind of day.

The Jam - In the City

Ah, this remindes me of high school when I was a youngin'.

[Anxious]

nomeansno-Sex mad/you kill me
bIG fLAME-Rigour
Ornette Coleman-Dancing in your Head

[Iai]

Neu! - Neu! (3.5/5)
Handsome Boy Modeling School - So....How's Your Girl? (3/5)
X-Japan - Dahlia (3.5/5)

Nothing too amazing, but some good, solid stuff.

[The NPC]

Neu! - Neu! (3.5/5)
Handsome Boy Modeling School - So....How's Your Girl? (3/5)
X-Japan - Dahlia (3.5/5)

Nothing too amazing, but some good, solid stuff.

Actually I think Neu! is more like a 3/5.

[masada]

I've been listening to Daydream Nation a lot lately, and De-Loused in the Comatorium.

[The NPC]

Lungfish - Pass and Stow
Futureheads - s/t

That's a good album. I like Sound in Time and Rainbows from Atoms aswell.

[Dog]

High-Back Chairs - Of Two Minds
Olivia Tremor Control - ...Dusk At Cubist Castle

[The NPC]

High-Back Chairs - Of Two Minds
Olivia Tremor Control - ...Dusk At Cubist Castle

Another money album. It's an odd release for Dischord because it strides the line of power popish sort of stuff.

[Dog]

School me on the High-Back Chairs. I've heard the name thrown around.
The album is great. High-Back Chairs are kind of like power pop with a dash of post-hardcore(weird combonation, but it works). In the past I've tried finding a backstory on them and didn't have much luck, but I think that Jeff Nelson was their drummer. They only released this and Curiosity & Relief(EP) which is a shame. I think you would like them.

Correct, J Nelson was their drummer.

[Mr Observations]

HBC are a cool sounding band. I like them.

I listened to dEUS and Husker Du today. It was good stuff, much like donuts (with added sugar ofcourse).

I think New day Rising is my favorite Husker Du album now.

Oh, and about Neu!, well they're good, but i think of them as a poor man's Can.

[Iai]

Well, there's some great moments on that album (first 4 minutes of Negativland, for instance). It's just not consistent enough.

But I prefer Can. And Amon Duul II, who get nowhere near enough love here.

[Mr Observations]

Yeah, i do like Neu, but yeah Can are much better, i think.

I'll check out Amon Duul II, who i've never heard before. i also need to look up Faust, another Kraut band.

[Iai]

Yeah, I need to check out Faust too.

Back on topic - I just downloaded all the B-sides from Gentlemen, coz I'm a fanboy like that. There's some interesting stuff, but nothing too special.

Oh, and I'm giving the DJ Muggs solo record another chance. It's better than I remember it being. And I just realized - not only does Greg Dulli guest on it, but it's on a remix of my favourite Twilight Singers song.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm diggin Beck's Guero, it's better than i first thought, it's real cool.
Same here.


Also dug Ziggy Stardust last night.

[Dog]

Oh, and about Neu!, well they're good, but i think of them as a poor man's Can.
Haha, true. I like a couple of Neu! albums but Can is way better

[Zappa]

Yes, Nothing Lasts...But Nothing is Lost is great.

[Iai]

Knew you'd love it. :)

[Little Man being Erased]

I just listened to some songs by 20 Minute Loop and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and I love them both.

[Happymeal]

Millencolin - Pennybridge Pioneers
Ruins - Tzomborgha

The Suicide S/T is money my friend.

[DogInTheBanned]

Indeed it is. Both of their S/T's are, in fact.

[The NPC]

Indeed it is. Both of their S/T's are, in fact.

Tis true.

[6Stringer]

I just bought Death From Above 1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine today, I'm really digging it a lot.

[Zappa]

Suicide - Suicide

I listened to this one once and decided it was trashbin material.

[DogInTheBanned]

I listened to this one once and decided it was trashbin material.
I'd give it a relatively high rating, probably 4/5. To each his own, I guess.

Since my last post I've been digging Slint's Spiderland.

[Zappa]

Now there's a record I can sink my teeth and angsty face into!

[Zappa]

I'm listening to Nevermind for I guess the first time. Thought I'd played it before, but now it seems that's not true. I always hated In Utero, but this record seems to at least mildly rock and also seems to suck very rarely if at all.

[DogInTheBanned]

Nevermind and In Utero don't do it for me. I guess I need to check out Bleach(I don' know why I haven't yet, seeing as it seems to get a pretty good amount of praise around here).

[vemz]

I've never heard Nevermind in my life and I intend to keep it that way.

[asymm]

I'm hearing the Suicide debut for the first time... and I'm really enjoying it. It sounds drastically different than what I imagined it would. If you were to blind buy this in a record shop simply basing the decision on the cover art, you'd be bewildered at it's subtlety and starkness.

[YDload]

I've never heard Nevermind in my life and I intend to keep it that way.

Yeah, I've probably heard over half the album already thanks to my stupid modern rock radio station, so I'm not in the market for the real deal.

Anyway, The Fall of Troy is a neat band. Too bad they have to be on the Warped Tour with Fall Out Boy, which is similarly named but not at all as talented (except at getting mass appeal I guess). But it would be quite a tough crowd if TFoT were to be called onstage at Warped by an emcee with a malfunctioning mic:

"And now, please welcome to the stage *zzzt* Fall O*zzzzzz*Oy!"

Oo, that would be interesting.

[br3ad_man]

Fall of Troy are cool.

[asymm]

Early today I was digging New Order - Power, Corruption, & Lies. Fantastic.

[vemz]

Fall of Troy and He is Legend are playing a "local" venue for $8.

[The NPC]

One Last Wish

[pixiesfanyo]

I'm listening to Nevermind for I guess the first time. Thought I'd played it before, but now it seems that's not true. I always hated In Utero, but this record seems to at least mildly rock and also seems to suck very rarely if at all.

Don't lie.

I'm still in awe of Roman Candle.

And I think I always will be because it's such a **** good cd.

[Iai]

I hate Nevermind pretty intensely. I really like what I know of In Utero though. In fact, Heart Shaped Box is right up there with my favourite songs of all time.

Daggage -

LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem (2.5/5 - bitterly disappointed with this one)
Cursive - The Ugly Organ (4/5)
Devin Davis - Lonely People Of The World, Unite! (3.5/5, will probably become a 4 after a couple more listens)
The Afghan Whigs - Gentlemen: The B-Sides (3/5)

[Electrocution]

Hangedup
Fly Pan Am
A Silver Mount Zion



Constellation.

[Interstate]

Derek Trucks Band - Joyful Noise
The Smiths - S/T

[Robert Crumb]

Maureen Tucker - I Spent a Week There the Other Night

This is better than I remember but still not very good.

[Iai]

Spiritualized - Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (3.5/5)

Had this for ages and never actually listened to it until just now. Weird.

[Luxor]

That new Coheed single is so good. I'm looking forward to the new album.

[Aeaon]

I've recently been downloading some more Smiths songs. Good stuff.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Pinback - Some Voices EP
Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People

[The NPC]

Beat Happening- Black Candy

I think I'll make it a BH day.

[6Stringer]

I've been digging Jurassic 5 and Jamiroquai.

[ATM]

The new Stellastarr is ace.

[Parfait]

Pere Ubu. I think I missed it the first time I listened.

[Little Man being Erased]

Since my last post I've listened to:

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Ryan Adams - Gold

and I've had my first taste of:

The Make Up
Ted Leo and The Pharmacists

with Les Savy Fav coming up next.

[Parfait]

by the way, Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads is an album that gets sort of a raw deal. Listen to it an enjoy.

Talking Heads are pretty darn good.

But every Talking Heads album is the best thing in the world, is it not?

No, not quite.

[Zappa]

Mmhmm.

[br3ad_man]

How is Little Creatures? I see that everywhere for next to nothing.

[Zappa]

I haven't given it much attention. I haven't enjoyed it much when I've listened.

[Dog]

Little Creatures is awesome. If you've seen it somewhere for cheap, get it.

Today I've been diggin' Devo - Freedom Of Choice, Pere Ubu - Dub Housing, and The Violent Femmes s/t.

Edit: didn't know Pere Ubu's name. rofl

Double Edit: Oh and Elbow's new album is awesome.

[The NPC]

Little Creatures is awesome. If you've seen it somewhere for cheap, get it.

Heh.

Pere Ubu buddy.

[Dog]

I fail at life. Shut up I just got the cd today. :upset:

Edit: Wait, how would one go about pronouncing "Pere." Is it like "Pier," or "Pear," or is it French or something weird.

Kings of Convenience right now. I tried listening to Converge before but it didn't work.

[Iai]

Opeth - Ghost Reveries (3.5/5)

Disappointed. I love Opeth, but this album is a definite move towards me agreeing with everything Zappa says about them. It's really formulaic and repeats their past work a lot. Still, worth it for a fan to pick up.

[el doctor]

I don't know of anyone so far who's been satisfied with the new Opeth.

And I've been digging:

Beulah - The Coast Is Never Clear
Squarepusher - Music Is Rotted One Note
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi

[vemz]

I tried listening to Converge before but it didn't work.

What album did you try?

[Little Man being Erased]

I henceforth declare that Get Behind Me Satan is excellent.

Brian Eno - Ambient 1 (Music For Airports) (5/5)

Downloading the new Raveonettes album as I type this. Anyone know what it's like?

[Zappa]

Waking up with Focus by Cynic. This record is pretty brainy, but it's also pretty great.

[Iai]

I just reliased, I have a TON of records I've never listened to to get through.

YSI *shakes fist*

Better get cracking on that.

Bene listening to Kraftwerk - Minimum-Maximum and Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists in the hope of reviewing both. Doesn't seem to be happening.

[Interstate]

Smoking Popes - Born to Quit

^ imagine Morrissey fronting Alkaline Trio, and you have the best album ever.

Man that sounds like a good album!

Just finished listening to The Raveonettes - Pretty In Black. It's ok but nothing too special (on first listen anyway)

I'm really liking this.

[ATM]

I'm going to see Apocalyptica, so I am getting ready for that :-D

[YDload]

Yes. I've listened to the three longest tracks on Fragile now, so I would probably want to get the whole album now. Chalk it up to yet another purchase I NEED to make:

Mr. Bungle- California
Melvins- Houdini
Iron Maiden- Killers
Yes- Fragile

Ugh, and then I need to get the new SOAD and Coheed albums when they come out. Why must I be cursed with a terrible attraction to weird and/or cheesy bands?

[Iai]

I heard that new Coheed single. Epic stuff.

[Happymeal]

King Brothers - Blues
Nobuo Uematsu & Shiro Hamaguchi - Final Fantasy VII Piano Collections

Just got these both awhile ago. Sweet.

Zero 7

[Bukowski]

Slowdive...they're pretty mellow, My Bloody Valentine-esque, with quiet vocals on top of guitar noise. I guess you'd call them noise rock, or shoegaze.

I'm not good with descriptions, but they're really good.

And to continue with the questions...what are Presidents of the USA like? I've heard a song by them, called Peaches, which was kinda fun, but i never checked an album or anything. Any worth getting?

[OrbDragon]

I like MBV...so I think I'll check Slowdive out.

The Presidents of the USA ae a fun altrock/pop rock band from Seattle, that write goofy, catchy tunes. They really have a cool sound, sometimes they play with guitars and bass guitars that only have two or three snares, to add to their quirkiness. "Peaches" is they most wellknown song....but "Dune Buggy", "Kitty" and "Volcano" are also nice tunes...they recently came back together but their new material isn't as good as the stuff they released before they broke up.

[Bukowski]

Sounds fun, i'll try and get my hands on one of their pre break-up releases.

[OrbDragon]

I downloaded "Some Velvet Morning" and I wasn't too impressed...it sounds kind of stagnant. One of that traits that I like about My Bloody Valentine (especially on the album Loveless) is that the melody seemed to move slightly out of control at times...as if the sound was alive and had it's own consciousness. That was part of it's beauty. Then again...it's had to fathom that the song I heard is Slowdive's best...so I'm going to down some more stuff.

[OrbDragon]

:eek:

Orb!

where have you been?


My neighbours recently decided to wake me from my cryogenic tomb when they couldn't stand the loud music anymore.

:thumb:

I'm sure glad you're still here Nacho...I was afraid this place might've become overloaded with spamming by now...

[Zappa]

I'm still here too, and it's cool to see you posting again.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Its actually very nice to see you. We've all just become random obessive people dividing our time between real life and this click click existance.

[Interstate]

The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?

[YDload]

Hooray for Orb! I still remember that his favorite song ever is "Undo" by Bjork :thumb:

[br3ad_man]

Orb's back!

/jumps for joy

Iron & Wine/Calexico - In The Reins

[charolastra]

[OrbDragon]

Hooray for Orb! I still remember that his favorite song ever is "Undo" by Bjork :thumb:


Things change...I was a bit close-minded then. It's great to see so many old faces still here :D

[br3ad_man]

Man, now we just need Tapeworm and modrock back and Alt and Indie will be like the old days.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

These are some songs I'm liking at the moment.

Aphex Twin - 4
Autechre - Arch Carrier
Cursive - The Recluse
Mew - Am I Wry No
Slint - Good Morning, Captain
Tweaker - Microsize Boy

[Smackers]

The Residents and Sir Millard Mulch have my attention at the moment.

[sketchyjoe]

The Residents and Sir Millard Mulch have my attention at the moment.They're bboth great.


Lately I've mainly been listen to Mad Sin (a great German Psychobilly band) and Madeline (a cool folk singer).

[asdf]

Sir Millard Mulch is so full of himself. My brother talks to him on another forum.

Is his full CD actually out yet?

I grew up listening to the residents. A few years ago I was really into them. They were my favorite band of all time. It's been awhile since I've really listened to them again.

I am loving World/Inferno Friendship Society right now. I have all their CD's downloaded and intend to buy every one of them.

[Anxious]

I'm not a big fan of anything Wire did after Pink Flag.

[Iai]

Muggs - Dust (3/5)

It's okay, I guess. Really inconsistent. Still, a couple of great songs.

Martha Wainwright - Martha Wainwright (3.5/5)

Could have been something really special if she switched up the pace a little more.

[sketchyjoe]

I am loving World/Inferno Friendship Society right now. I have all their CD's downloaded and intend to buy every one of them.They're amazing.

What's your favourite album?

In my opinion East Coast Supersound Punk of Today is their best album easily. Just The Best Party and A Lexicon of Friends and Enemies are both great too. The True Stroy Of The Bridgewater Astral League has some good songs but isn't up to the standard of the others.

[Interstate]

Today (in order of listening):

Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
Death Cab - Something About Aeroplanes
The Arcade Fire - Funeral
Slint - Spiderland

[Bukowski]

These are some songs I'm liking at the moment.

Aphex Twin - 4
Autechre - Arch Carrier
Cursive - The Recluse
Mew - Am I Wry No
Slint - Good Morning, Captain
Tweaker - Microsize Boy

I love all of these songs (except Tweaker who i've not heard). Nice going.

Wire - Chairs Missing

better than Pink Flag.

Yes Sir, that's one classic album.


The Dead Boys - Younger, Louder, and Snottier (The Original Cuts)

[Luxor]

Listening to Hail To The Thief for the first time all the way through. I'm more of an early Radiohead fan, personally.

[white_riot]

I've been listening to Bad Religion alot lately. I got How Could Hell be any Worse about 9 months ago and rarely listened to it and the other day I played it and realised it was awesome.

[OrbDragon]

Jaga Jazzist - What We Must
Stereolab - Oscillons From The Anti-Sun
Motorpsycho - Timothy's Monster
Morphine - Cure For Pain
The Delgados - Hate
Sebadoh - Harmacy

The first two are prolly the best two releases so far this year...IMHO.

[asymm]

No, it's a Stereolab compilation box. Features a bunch of unreleased material and some obscure EP stuff.

[Little Man being Erased]

Sigur Ros - ( )
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

And I picked up Talkin' Honky Blues by Buck 65 and Boys Don't Cry by The Cure for cheap. So I'll be diggin' those for sure.

[OrbDragon]

No, it's a Stereolab compilation box. Features a bunch of unreleased material and some obscure EP stuff.

It's their best material so far IMO.

[OrbDragon]

Then again, I haven't heard Mars Audiac Quintet yet...am I missing out?

[DrummerKevin]

I've been getting into Silverchair recently. I love their Frogstomp album, and I've been listening to some stuff on Neon Ballroom.

[Tangy zizzle]

Stereolab are the boobs.

I bought Worst Case Scenario yesterday. Awesome.

[asymm]

Iron and Wine
Isolée

[ATM]

Jesu
Mono
Slint

[boone]

ATD-I with this station is non-operationial...great anthology of hit songs with dvd of music videos....probably my favorite is 198D off the album, great harmonic tones, overall smooth flow

Sparta - wiretap scars or porcelain...favorite songs are collapse, hiss the villain, while oceana sleeps, breaking the broken, cut your ribbon, red alibi

The Mars Volta - frances the mute - great album, good main theme heard in Cassandra Gemini D....

AWAKENING forever :thumb:

[Well_Respected_Man]

No, it's a Stereolab compilation box. Features a bunch of unreleased material and some obscure EP stuff.

Plus Some videos and tv performances. They're okay.

Nujabes / Fat Jon - Departure (2.5/5 - it'd be a 4 if it had a vocalist)
The Decemberists - Castaways & Cutouts (3.5/5)

[OrbDragon]

Heard alot of good things about Andrew Bird...what do you recommend by him?

[Iai]

I only have The Mysterious Production Of Eggs. It's definitely worth checking out.

Oh yeah that's a cool version. Thanks.

Ghost - Hypnotic Underworld

this kind of sucks. I'm disappointed.

I only heard one song from them, and I loved it.

[Interstate]

Fugazi - The Argument
The Futureheads - S/T (after Nacho saying it was good the whole way through I decided to listen again. And he's right. :p )


First listens of:
KT Tunstall - Eye To The Telescope - I was expecting this to be really crap but I'm over half way through and it's surprisingly good. (4/5)
Anthony And The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now (4-4.5/5)

Next up is Brendan Benson - The Alternative To Love - I'm excited about this album as I downloaded two songs and absolutely loved them.


I only have The Mysterious Production Of Eggs. It's definitely worth checking out.

I tried to download that twice from the YSI thread and each time it got to 95% and then 'completed' itself. My pc sucks :upset:

[asymm]

Vinny Miller - Pigpen 7"
{download (http://www.vinnymiller.com/download/index.html)}

[asymm]

Everyone should download Vinny Miller's little single for the last song, "Bagged And Tagged". It's gorgeous. His music is mostly acoustic singer/songwriter stuff. But, this debut 7" is much more eclectic than his full release is.

[FlawedPerfection]

My bands lately
1. Muse
2. Dredg
3. At the Drive In

Very odd mix... but all so great.

[Little Man being Erased]

Buck 65's Talkin' Honky Blues is totally excellent.

Also:
The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan

[Luxor]

Sage Francis
Gym Class Heroes
The Most Serene Republic

[The NPC]

Helmet

[Bukowski]

Xinlisupreme - Murder License
Xinlisupreme - Tomorrow Never Comes
Tiger Army - TA3: Ghost Tigers Rise

Much thanks to the excellent TalkingHead for recommending/uploading Xinlisupreme. They are an awesome Japanese post rock/noise rock band.

[Tangy zizzle]

Stereolab

[asymm]

Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow
Same.

I'm only on my first listen through but I'm very glad that the Banhart is experimenting within his realm of style. It's still distinctly him, but the changes are evident and a very solid progression from where he was.

[Little Man being Erased]

Since my last post I've listened to Talkin' Honky Blues again, a bunch of random stuff, and then Elliott Smith's Roman Candle.

I'm in love with the one 20 Minute Loop song I've heard. I need to get Yawn + House = Explosion.

[Luxor]

I finally got Roman Candle. Elliott's best work pixies? C'mon.

[Little Man being Erased]

I think it's great, but not his best. XO still holds that place for me, but I haven't got the self-titled album or Either/Or yet.

[asymm]

I think it's great, but not his best. XO still holds that place for me, but I haven't got the self-titled album or Either/Or yet.
I'm still lacking Roman Candle, but I definitely view Either/Or as easily his best. Easily.

[Zappa]

Either/Or and XO are the best Elliott albums. Roman Candle has ups and downs, and those other two really just have ups.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, I really need to get Either/Or as soon as possible.

[The NPC]

War - Why Can't We Be Friends?

Oh, memories.

[Zappa]

Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Vespers, Op. 37." I namecheck this piece all the time, because it's really beautiful stuff. Choir music doesn't get enough love.

[6Stringer]

I've been listening to The Melvins, The Arcade Fire and Broken Social Scene a lot lately, I'm really digging they're material.

[br3ad_man]

M83 - Gone (live)

[ATM]

20 Minute Loop
Santana

[Iai]

Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol 2 (4/5)

He uses the line structure 'My x is y, like z' way too often, and some of his politics and theories are a little questionable. Still, a really really good album.
