What I've Been Digging Lately

[Luxor]

Meh, XO is decent. But Either/Or is definitely his best. It's one of my favourite albums of all time.

[Tomahawk]

Happy Mondays - Pills n Thrills and Bellyaches

And a lot of random Guided by Voices stuff.

[JonM]

M83 - Before The Dawn Heals Us !!!

This is the most epic and emotional ambient record I've ever heard. It's, like, Godspeed epic. I'm very impressed.

Also, everytime I read the album title, I think it to the melody of the line "Before your father hears us" from Radiohead's "Exit Music (For A Film)," so that's exciting.

[Luxor]

^ It's great album. Like a modern day My Bloody Valentine.

[Interstate]

Built To Spill - Ancient Melodies Of The Future
Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime

[OrbDragon]

Recently got into Afghan Whigs...tight bunch that is. I also decided to blow the dust from Jane's Addictions 'Ritual De Lo Habitual" today....almost forgot how good that record was. Swingin'!



Thomas Dybdahl & That Great October Sound: am I the only one who thinks this guy is god?

[OrbDragon]

I see you also like The Delgados, Nach...thank heavens!...now people here will actually start listening to them!

[Happymeal]

Nouvelle Vague - s/t (nifty lounge-ified covers album)
Ephel Duath - The Painter's Palette (jazz-influenced extreme metal? It's a lot more accessibe than I thought it would be)

[Iai]

:lol: I wish I had that kind of influence

it's a great album though, reminds me of Mercury Rev/the Beatles.
I pay attention to your posts in this thread when you mention something I don't know. You do it so often though. :(

[Zappa]

I think people pretty much tune out what I'm digging, for some reason.

[Zappa]

:lol:

[Iai]

I think people pretty much tune out what I'm digging, for some reason.
I think we basically pick up our music/get recommendations from the same sources, because I'm familiar with a lot of the stuff you mention.

Except for the jazz, where I only know the artists.

[The Reincarnation Of Hendrix]

I bought the LCD Sounsystem album and it's amazing!!

It's like a cross between The Rapture and The Fall

[Aeaon]

I've recently downloaded the Angel dust album by Faith No More. It's pretty good.

[Mr Observations]

World Inferno Frienship Society are amazing, and everyone who's heard them knows it. And those who haven't...well THEY LOST OUT THE SILLY MOFOS.

I listened to the Mars Volta today. That doesn't happen often, but they've grown on me lots.

[asymm]

Kings of Convenience - Quiet Is The New Loud. I've really enjoyed this. I see this album as much more my style than Riot On An Empty Street.

[sketchyjoe]

World Inferno Frienship Society are amazing, and everyone who's heard them knows it.
They are.

[Interstate]

Brendan Benson - The Alternative To Love (3.5/5) Not as good as I was expecting but good nonetheless

[Mr Observations]

Kings of Convenience - Quiet Is The New Loud. I've really enjoyed this. I see this album as much more my style than Riot On An Empty Street.

Kings of convenience are cool as.

[6Stringer]

Today is the Lemonheads day for Matt.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

On first impressions, it's good, but it's certainly no Disintegration or The Head on The Door.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm about to go and dig Belle & Sebastien, plus I just got Pulp - His n' Hers for a belated birthday present, so I shall be digging that too.

[6Stringer]

I'm about to go and dig Belle & Sebastien, plus I just got Pulp - His n' Hers for a belated birthday present, so I shall be digging that too.

B&S are great, one of the first bands that got me into Indie. As soon as I heard "Like Dylan In the Movies" I was hooked.

[Interstate]

Elbow - Newborn EP (5/5) I forgot how amazing this EP was.

[Robert Crumb]

I think people pretty much tune out what I'm digging, for some reason.

Not really. It just takes me a really long time to check it out due to my own agenda. Like I finally got Out to Lunch recently, mostly because I remembered your review and figured it would be a good listen. And it was.

I bought 5th Dimension by the Byrds. It seems ok but I'm not seeing stars and birdies yet.

[bella]

I really like this band called Dixie Dirt. They are from Knoxville, Tn. I got to see them for the first time at Bonaroo. They did an amazing job. Their latest CD is pieces of the world. The best song is definatly appetite. It hasn't come out of my cd player in 2 weeks. They have alot of shows coming up. I know they are playing in atlanta soon at the Drunken Unicorn. Everyone should check them out. They are at www.dixiedirtmusic.com or you can hear them on thier myspace page.

[morrissey]

Ok I'll be sure to check that out man

[ATM]

Sage Francis
Stevie Wonder
Slint

[Luxor]

^ Nice.

[Zappa]

The new Shpongle is even better under headphones, I'm finding this evening.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, I imagine it would be.




This afternoon I have listened to and thoroughly enjoyed The Jolly Rogers Demo and Remain in Light.

[morrissey]

I've been listening to the radio lately. It's odd/not very good. So I guess I haven't been digging it.

I have been digging Sufjan Stevens though.

[The NPC]

I have been digging Sufjan Stevens though.

He played here in my ol' city today.

[Daniel!]

G. Love and Special Sauce
The Slackers
Big D. and the Kids Table

[br3ad_man]

I'm just listening to the R&M competition entries. Everyone check out thisfilter's entry, it's amazing.

[JohnXDoe]

The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan
Jeff Bucklley - Grace
Sugar - Copper Blue

[The NPC]

I will never, ever understand why people like this album. Maybe it'd be fine if Husker Du never existed.

I don't know why people like Sugar.

[Luxor]

I don't know why people like Husker Du.

[Iai]

I don't know why I'm posting this.

[br3ad_man]

I don't know anything.

[Interstate]

Belle & Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap - pure bliss.
Beck - Odelay

[br3ad_man]

Six Degrees of Separation

I like this band a lot.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Pinback.

[ATM]

Murder By Death are great

[j_brown_12]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
Smashing Pumkins - Cherub Rock
Ryan Adams 'Gold' Album

[Well_Respected_Man]

Minor Threat, Wire, the Wrens
Awesome, What do The Wrens sound like?

[Tomahawk]

I've been listening to Skylarking by XTC. It's wicked cool. I need to check out more of these guys.

[Well_Respected_Man]

XTC is the shat, have you listened to Drums and Wires or The Black Sea?

[Tomahawk]

Nope, I've only got Skylarking and some compilation. My friend who is massively into them, he says Drums and Wires is their best.

[morrissey]

I've been listening to Skylarking by XTC. It's wicked cool. I need to check out more of these guys.
I only have Black Sea but it is classy. I need to check their other stuff out.

I've been listening to Billy Bragg again.

[ATM]

Thom Yorke's concert

[The NPC]

It's been a Modern Lovers kind of day for me.

[Zappa]

Don Cherry - Eternal Rhythm

The last 10 minutes or so of "Part 2" is some of the most passionate playing I've ever heard. If you would like to hear what happens when free jazz and groundbreaking mixtures of international traditional music (before "world music" was super cool and trite) are used to create passionate, honest music, you have to check out this album.

[Happymeal]

^Sounds neat. That piqued my interest.

[JonM]

Thom Yorke's concert

The Bridge School one? I have that.

[ATM]

The Bridge School one? I have that.

Yea, I hate the guys that talk really loudly during Morning Bell though, and attempt to sing along.

True. I wish he'd played that both nights. One of those nights has the version of "True Love Waits" where the guy's like "OMG! THEY TOOOOTALLY NEVER PLAY THIS!", right? Or was that another show I have?

[ATM]

Heh, yea that's the one. I wish I had been there to beat those kids down for talking during the set.

[JonM]

That guy is probably a MXican, though.

/pulls thread back on topic

Today I've been digging Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me, Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow, Ani DeFranco - Educated Guess, and I'm still enjoying Elbow - Leaders Of The Free World.

[Little Man being Erased]

This morning I have enjoyed Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight and Shpongle - Nothing Lasts... but Nothing is Lost.

[6Stringer]

Today all I listened to was DJ Danger Mouse and MF Doom - DangerDoom, it never gets old to me. I love it.

[Little Man being Erased]

It wouldn't wanna be getting old yet, seeing as it's not even out yet and all.

[6Stringer]

Today:

Castanets

[Chik]

Cocteau Twins - Heaven or Las Vegas

[Zappa]

I just, for the first time, listened to the original running order (and am on the bonus tracks) of

Buy by James Chance & The Contortions

Seems to be a pretty ****in' stellar album.

[Little Man being Erased]

I just realised how much I love Abbatoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds.

What sort of music is it? Like most of the other stuff you post about, I've never heard of them.

[Zappa]

What sort of music is it? Like most of the other stuff you post about, I've never heard of them.

They call it "no wave," I guess. It's sort of like more avant garde post-punk. The Contortions play pretty funky rock music with some really hot sax playing (James Chance plays sax and sings, and originally moved to NYC to become a jazz musician) and really angular riffing and anxious-sounding vocals.

[Little Man being Erased]

That sure does sound mighty interesting, fella.

[Dog]

Aren't the Residents classified as no wave? If they are then I don't think I would like much from the genre.

[asymm]

Sigur Rós - Takk

[musicisgood]

^^^^^^
Ha. Me too.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Me toooo. It's extremely, extremely good. Although I'm only on song 3. :p

Thank you, I spend a lot of time on them until I get them just right and it's really nice to hear some feed back. Right now I'm working on a cover of "In Heaven" from the movie Eraserhead. The Pixies use to play it after each show. They did a great cover of it, but I always thought there should be a really creepy and f*cked up version of it, so I've decided to do that. I'll send you a copy of that when I'm done if you want too also.

They sounded so professional. How are you creating them?

[Smackers]

They sounded so professional. How are you creating them?

I've gotten good at getting the sound I want with my four track, which is digital, and I'm sure that helps. But I think my mixing software is probably the best thing I use right now to make them sound like they do. It's just a version of Cool edit, but it's really good for what I'm working on. You should hear my old stuff though, it sounds more like actual demos with a lower quality. I guess it's just been a lot of practice and trial and error.

So overall, I record the songs on my four track and mix them with cooledit. That's pretty much it.


...or maybe I'm really really special. :D ;)

[ATM]

Is Cool Edit free? I want to start recording things.

[Electrocution]

I have fallen in love with Sonic Youth's Sister.

[6Stringer]

Captain Beefheart - Safe As Milk and Trout Mask Replica

I found out Captain Beefheart has a four octave range voice. The average person only has 2, I think.

[Zappa]

Yeah, the Captain does have a big range. And he wrote some of the most charmingly bumpy music of the late 60s to be included on Trout Mask Replica .

[Happymeal]

I never liked Tom Waits this much until now. His later works didn't make much of an impression on me but Rain Dogs certainly hits the spot.

[biografiend]

Today has been full of:
Broken Social Scene
Archer Prewitt
American Football
Death Cab
Castanets.

it has been very mellow listening day.

[Zappa]

The No New York compilation, particularly the songs by James Chance & The Attractions and DNA.

[Little Man being Erased]

Pinback - Summer in Abaddon
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

and now, Black Mountain - Black Mountain

later, more Dylan.

[Smackers]

Is Cool Edit free? I want to start recording things.

You can get a free demo of it but after a few times, it won't let you save your work anymore. I think I only paid half price for mine version of it. It was still $120 though. Maybe start out by trying the demo.

[Zappa]

I illegally downloaded CoolEdit Pro 2.0, and that's what I use to create masterpieces.

[Little Man being Erased]

Zappa's got some tickets on himself.

[br3ad_man]

I have fallen in love with Sonic Youth's Sister.

The Beatles - The White Album

Zappa's got some tickets on himself.

What does that mean?

[Little Man being Erased]

Oh, now that I think about it, that might be an Aussie thing. It basically means you think you're tops.

[Zappa]

And "think you're tops" would probably be a British thing. Still, it's clear now.

And of course I'm the bomb diggity dog.

[Aeaon]

I'm am currently trying to listen to some classical music. Oh, how I do love that Amadeus.

[Little Man being Erased]

Of course.

MF Doom, Madvillian, DangerDoom, Vicktor Vaughn, etc...

[xavier13]

Well....let me think, if i was to say only one band it would have to be "Dogs"

They are a relatively new band and have been recently touring with Razorlight, you will find it hard to find a website as they have none. But, just download one of their songs - of course legally ; ) - "Tuned to a Different Station"

It is an ACE track and pretty cool to drum to aswell

Hope this helps

Of all the releases this year I'm starting to enjoy that the most. Though it doesn't rock as hard as their past releases it makes up for it by the atmosphere it creates, and the vocals are a lot better too.

I finally got a hold of Devin Davis - Lonely People of the World, Unite! today, and it is most excellent.

[Zappa]

About half an hour ago I went for a walk and listened to Pharoah Sanders' Karma album. It's got a certain uplifting quality about it, which is really nice for night-time walking. The first tune on the album is over a half an hour, and it barely goes anywhere. By that I mean it hardly strays from quickly established themes. What's remarkable about it in this way is that it's both trance-inducing and engaging. The way it moves is just really nice, and when it elevates to sax-honking free jazz pandemonium near the 20 minute mark, the players, and the Pharoah in particular, make ugly sounds feel so perfectly consonant and passionately beautiful. They had me dancing in the street when they sunk back into the Coltrane-quoted ostinato pattern with about five minutes remaining. The album was a very welcome addition to my evening.

Kings of Leon have a wicked sound, the singers voice is an acquired taste though

also just discovered television, took my time but boy was it worth the wait.

[biografiend]

Going to see them Thursday.

Hope they play lots of El Cielo.

So would I. El Cielo totally owns Catch Without Arms easily.

^ Absolutely beautiful. Upon first listen this appears to be an incredible and hypnotic record.

[br3ad_man]

Sorry mate, no dice. I'm sorry to say that you missed out on one hell of a show. They played 3 songs off ( ) (4, 1 and 8), they also played a lot of new songs, I think. I haven't heard their first two albums, so it's hard to say. They finished the set with "Untitled 8" and it was ****ing amazing.

Righty. I don't mind missing them, as long as they come back when I'm 18. Today I've been listening to Black Mountain.

[Iai]

Kraftwerk - Radioactivity (3.5/5)

**** you've failed bad.
How so? It's a pretty solid album. Not great, but not bad, either.

This morning I'm finally giving Takk a listen. It's alright, but I think I'll need to fully wake up before I judge it.

[Zappa]

Last night I really enjoyed the Heavy Vegetable album (Frisbie) that DogIntheSand uploaded for me.

This morning I'm digging some Lee "Scratch" Perry Super Ape tunes.

[snidget]

Iron & Wine

It's Plastic Soul With the White Apes. it's not a split or collab with a band called The White Apes.

[Dog]

:lol: oh Jesus. The album cover says "Plastic Soul" with the White Apes so I always assumed it was a collaboration. Thanks for the correction.

[Tangy zizzle]

Oh and btw, it's an awesome album.

[Dog]

Agreed.

[JonM]

Tangy, did you hear the leak of the Iron & Wine/Calexico record? It's like our avatars getting it on. Or at least, if your avatar was back to normal it is.

[Tangy zizzle]

Nah havn't heard it. I believe I've got a copy on pre-order or something at my local. I love Calexico.

Dig:

Goodshirt
Buzzcocks
Curs ov Dialect
The Drones
The Make-up

[JonM]

You're gonna love it. When it officially comes out, we should mash up our avatars and both use them.

[JonM]

Oh yeah, the thread.

I'm reeeeeally digging Heavy Vegetable's Frisbie. Thank you, GodInTheSand.

[Dog]

Haha, I love that album, glad to share it.

[Zappa]

Did you get the Mark Sandman stuff, Dog?

[Zappa]

The girl I know who got me interested in Heavy Vegetable also likes Thingy. But I haven't actually heard them or Pinback.

[JonM]

is Heavy Vegetable similar to Pinback or Thingy?

I don't know Thingy, but it's WAAAY more interesting than Pinback, though it sort of is in a similar vein sometimes. It's like... what's it like... It's like Stars on a prog bender.

[Dog]

They're similar to Thingy, but I like HV a little more. I haven't heard any Pinback material though. I'll look into them.

Did you get the Mark Sandman stuff, Dog?
Yep, I just dl'd both discs, and pretty excited about it. Thanks for it.

[Zappa]

It's like They Might Be Giants meets Don Caballero.

[Zappa]

It's in YSI.
