What I've Been Digging Lately

[Clawdaddy]

Hi, this is my first post.

Anyway, I just got MBV's Loveless and I've listened to it 15 times in 4 days. It's just that good. :cool:

I also picked up the new album by the Cure which is pretty good and Absolution which is also awesome, but I like Origin of Symmetry and Showbiz better.

[Jellyspoon]

I've been into the Dillinger Escape Plan lately..Because of their new cd..yay!

It's not out here till the 2nd of August :(

[biografiend]

a band ive been lately is a band called The Low Life,theyare pretty much alternative but they have a really different sound to um, songs to check out might be: bag of money, slowroll, theyve got a lot more but i cant think of um right now, my brother got me into um, there a band from maryland so there kind of a local craze here

[Tangy zizzle]

Checked out The Replacements.

So far I've found them over-hyped, but good nonetheless.

[Tangy zizzle]

They're only overhyped because of me :p

Yargh, 'tis true.

[br3ad_man]

I've been listening to Elliot Smith a lot after buying the Good Will Hunting soundtrack, where he appears a lot.

[zaplan]

To encompase the range, I've been digging Evol, most anything by Dinosaur Jr., Electric Ladyland, Agharta, On the Corner, and I really like Kid A.

one small suggestion though, not to knock your choices, but try to focus on one or two at a time first to truly appreciate each one. dealing with that many bands youre sure to miss something each one has to offer.

[OrbDragon]

I'm listening to alot of dEUS and Trail Of Dead...two great alternative rock bands.

Other great stuff is Motorpsycho...people are really missing out on this band...check out "The Golden Core".

Also....

...

Damien Rice! The Professor is my new favorite song of his...I'm only listening to it for the first time. Wow.

[ZEROthirtythree]

Opeth


Yeah, I'm finally starting to dig death metal.

[Zappa]

Hoggboy.

Good garage rock band.

[CarnageFairy]

New Pornographers.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Olivia Tremor Control

Duck at Cubist Castle is amazing

[Wanker]

i'm starting to get into that goofy mid-90's rock like dishwalla and nada surf. change is good once in a while.

[Clawdaddy]

I have the Dishwalla album, it was great. Classic 90's one hit wonder.

[Tangy zizzle]

JR Ewing
Quicksand
Explosions in The Sky

All great bands. Explosions... especially. I'm lovin' these guys.

I heard the new Interpol single, Slow Hands. Solid Effort.

[br3ad_man]

Opeth


Yeah, I'm finally starting to dig death metal.

I thought you always liked Opeth :confused:

I'm loving the Smashing Pumpkins still. After watching the video for "Try, Try, Try" and seeing the short film on the DVD, my respect for them has grown immensly. I'm also liking Aphex Twin.

Thanks for the advice :thumb:

[Doctor D.]

Bands I'm constantly listening to:

The Fiery Furnaces (Damn you Tangy and Nacho, you did it again)
One Million Dead
Skatalites
Rocket From the Crypt
X
Jawbreaker

[OrbDragon]

I'm listening non-stop Dälek these days...when I first listened to Filthy Tongue Of Gods And Griots...I couldn't really form an opinion on them. Recently I started listening to them again...and I realize it's some of the best stuff out there. Incredible.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've got hold of two of the songs from the recently leaked Blood Brothers album, Crimes. They are semi-mastered, and they sound pretty damn good so far. This album looks to be very very good stuff.

[br3ad_man]

I'm loving Brand New

[clown_phobia]

Nirvana
Possibly my favourite band. Classic. I own Nevermind and In Utero and I think both are amazing albums.

The Offspring
My favourite Punk band. They are really amazing. I love Americana. Getting smash soon, and I love Self Esteem.

I have been listening to the strokes' new single Reptilla. very good.

John Butler (of the John Buter Trio) is very underrated.

I wanna get some classic rock.

I love grunge and punk.

Tangy zizzle, if you don't mind, I might do an album of the week too.

My album of the week is: Americana by The Offspring.

[br3ad_man]

^^^
Get Unplugged In New York by Nirvana. Their best work imo.

[clown_phobia]

yeah i might... i've heard that it shows they're music's musical value because it's not just hidden behind a layer of distortion.

Hot Snakes
Fiery Furnaces
Can
Quicksand
Mogwai
Iggy and The Stooges
Melvins
Radiohead
Pretty Girls Make Graves
Bjork
Explosions in The Sky

[clown_phobia]

i guess i can slowly make my way down that list when i have time and money

[Tapeworm]

I just finally bought a few new albums, and I am completely and utterly blown away by Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come. Yes, I finally found a copy. I also just got the Mint Chicks EP, 'Octagon Octagon Octagon', and it is great.

I'm going to see Missy Higgins in a couple of hours, and man am I excited.

Muahaha I've rubbed off on you. The Shape of Punk To Come is mindblowing ain't it! I'm glad you've got Octagon,Octagon,Octagon, those guys deserve some recogniton on here!

[br3ad_man]

Hot Snakes
Fiery Furnaces
Mogwai
Iggy and The Stooges
Melvins
Radiohead
Bjork


I'll add my reccomendation to those.

[KazooVirtuoso]

Ever since the new Pinback leaked, I've been grooving on it a lot. Otherwise it's been the usual: a bit of indie-pop and a bit of Isis/Pelican/Kayo Dot and a bunch of other random stuff.

Oh yeah, I've also been diggin' the demo from Mare, you fans of Isis and such should check them out. The Hydrahead website has one song from the demo for download. It might be hard to find the whole thing, I got it from an interweb friend.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Futureheads

[weneverspeak]

i love love love the vines! they are the best band around (the clash is my fav of all time) oh i found this cool feature on http://www.busweiser.com/1 that talks about the vines. if you are a fan you should check it out!

[OrbDragon]

KUKL: Really creepy alt. punk/ambient music with Björk as lead singer.
The Cramps: Glorious alternative, raw no-nonsense, sick *** rock 'n roll
The Cocteau Twins: Ethereal alt. pop with Liz Frasers unique beautiful voice as the main focus
The Young Gods: awesome industrial band that scares the **** out of me.
Elysian Fields: Just checked them out...alternative suspense pop with sensual female vocals.


And I'm addicted to the song "Little Green Bag" by The George Baker Selection...for those who are wondering...it's the theme song in "Resevoir Dogs"...the song is amazing :p

[Jellyspoon]

I bought 'The Shape Of Punk To Come' yesterday (only by about an hour) and I am quite impressed with it. I don't instantly like it, which is a good sign, as it probably means I will grow with the LP and it will have longevity. My favourite tracks a.t.m. are;

Liberation Frequency
Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine
Refused Are ****in Dead - the final section in particular

Recently I have also been investigating techno, in particular the artists on 'The Matrix' soundtrack, i.e. 'Meat Beat Manifesto', 'Lunatic Calm' and 'Hive'. Unfortunately for me, the better meat Beat manifesto albums have been deleted, I can't find any lunatic Calm files anywhere and Hive's best is deleted in the UK. :( Can anyone help me out?

Good stuff! TSOPTC is a life-chaning album.

I just cannot get enough of the new Fiery Furnaces disc, it's so infectiously weird and wonderful. With gems like Wolfnotes, Chris Michaels and Mason City who wouldn't love it??!!

Also, I've kinda checked out Damien rice. He's pretty cool. His music is what I expected it to be, but it's also quite refrshing. Long live the singer/songwriter!

I met The Fiery Furnaces once. They went for a drink in this small venue's bar after a gig. There were a few really pretentious people trying to have proper conversations with them, but I just went up and asked them to sign the back of my sticker. They were very nice, but I think the guy was pissed, so that pretentio was wasting his time.

TSOPTC has already grown on me in these past few hours :eek: I really want to buy an Isis album, but which is the best one to get, anyone?

Lucky bastard.

Oceanic would be your best bet for an Isis album.

[br3ad_man]

Can you do a review of that sometime?

I'm loving Brand New a lot. They are just awesome. I dont really like their style normally, but I find them increible.

[KazooVirtuoso]

I found out that the Mare "demo" was actually their debut EP, which is out now, but I had the leaked version and the leaker appearantly didn't know the titles or something...

For Isis, Oceanic is their best, but Celestial would still be a great choice.

Better let Kazoo or Buddy do that one.

[Luxor]

I've been listening to Modest Mouse's The Moon And Antarctica a lot again lately... Also a lot of Cap'n Jazz and the New Taking Back Sunday album. I'm not usually a TBS fan, but my girlfriend burned me the new CD, it's decent.

[br3ad_man]

I just got two Tori Amos albums. They are brilliant. I'm in tears that I haven't discovered her earlier.

[Tapeworm]

I saw Missy Higgins at a really small gig two nights ago, and it was incredible. I can't stop listening to her EP, and the new one comes out monday.

[asymm]

I've been totally enamored with The Fiery Furnaces - Blueberry Boat. It's such an amazing collection of songs. The ADD-like transitions and the piano sing-a-long style is just so unique. I think this will be an important album later. Definitely my current #1 for this year.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Just got Alicia Key's first album - Songs In A Minor very cheap and I'm actually enjoying it more than I thought. Yay for piano R&B.

Amen brother, Amen! 'Tis an incredible album.

[Little Man being Erased]

I got The Streets "A grand don't come for free" about a week ago and "Original pirate material" yesterday. I love it. Mike Skinner is the man.

[Tangy zizzle]

Pluto - Red Light Syndrome has been delcared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

[Moroii]

Unida - some songs I downloaded off "Coping With the Urban Coyote" and the Dozer split EP. Good stoner rock stuff. Cheers to John Garcia.

Also been listening to some of Slayer's earlier stuff lately.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Icarus Line.

[OrbDragon]

Skeleton Key is a pretty cool band that I've been into for awhile. I'm also enjoying some Tom Petty songs...especially Running Down A Dream...really catchy song.

I'm really diggin Elysian Fields as well :naughty:

[Tapeworm]

Muahaha I've rubbed off on you. The Shape of Punk To Come is mindblowing ain't it! I'm glad you've got Octagon,Octagon,Octagon, those guys deserve some recogniton on here!

Oh, on the topic of The Minties, I just found out that they are playing Ric's Bar in Brissy in September. I am so excited, because Ric's is honestly the smallest venue I've ever seen. The room is like 5m by 10m. Will be an incredible gig.

[Tomahawk]

Right now I'm getting into Belle & Sebastian. I've only heard a few songs so far but they're very good.

Also, I've been re-digging Tenacious D, because I saw School of Rock the other day and it put me in a mood for some JB.

And Franz Ferdinand have been stabbing me in the ears with knives made of AWESOME. Or something. (although I'm already getting a bit bored of the CD, it's great but not really long-lasting)

[Clawdaddy]

In the last week, I've gotten 'Isn't Anything' and 'Loveless' by My Bloody Valentine, 'I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One' by Yo La Tengo, 'Psychocandy' by the Jesus and Mary Chain, 'Songs for a Blue Guitar' by the Red House Painters and 'The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place' by Explosions in the Sky. The good part is these albums are all amazing, the bad part is I don't have time to listen to them enough.

[Jaded]

I've been listening to:
Bob Dylan- Blonde on Blonde
Yes- Fragile
Neil Young- Live Rust
Slayer- Reign in Blood
Pink Floyd- Animals
Lagwagon- Trashed
Jedi Mind Tricks- Violent by Design
The Cure- The Cure (new album)

But Br3ad, I didn't think you were above the wonderful age of 18?

[Tangy zizzle]

The Beatles - Abbey Road, has been in very high rotation in my house lately. Such a perfect album.

[br3ad_man]

^^^

But Br3ad, I didn't think you were above the wonderful age of 18?

I dont get it :upset: Im slow today, I got up at 4 30

[Tapeworm]

... You said that you were going to The Minties gig, and it's at Ric's, which is a pub.

[bumskin]

Currently going for Masterpiece by a band called Bayside. I live in the UK and no one I know seems to have heard of them. They're a bit emo-hardcore with some fairly unmistakeable vocals. Surely they sould be a bit more well known than they are.

[Tangy zizzle]

I just got Entertainment! (Gang of Four) on vinyl, it's such a good album. Quite diffrerent to Solid Gold, much more progressive and varied. I love it!

[casual]

Lately a lot of female singer-songwriters. Aimee Mann, Sarah Harmer, Julie Miller, Patty Griffin. Then I just bought a bass so I'm listening to stuff with easy bass lines: Wallflowers, Social Distortion; and I'm listening to my old Grateful Dead tapes to see if I can figure out what Phil Lesh is doing.

[HendrixISgod420]

i just picked up this 4disc hendrix box set with some unreleased tracks on it. pink floyd is usually on at my house 'dark side' 'animals' 'saucerful'. Beastie boys: their new cd is pretty good. blackalicious and J5 (mostly j5) have some really good tracks for those of you that enjoy real hip hop. Bob marley, eek-a-mouse and sublime go hand in hand with smoking bowls. i used to listen to the blood brothers a lot, les savy fav, the international noise conspiracy, the refused, sometimes le tigre, but lately ive been sticking to classic rock and stoner music.

[The Armatic]

My Friends Band! The Shine sooooo goood! www.geocities.com/the_shine_is_good/open_page.html

and also Ben kweller and the Velvet underground o yeah the strokes

[the_rejected]

ive really been diggin taking back sunday, the older cd: tell all your friends. they are bad *** man! ive kinda been listening to the killers, but all their songs are great, so im not really into them as much as TBS.

[alex_is_on_fire_41]

Taking Back Sunday's new cd, [U]Where You Want To Be. That cd kicks *** and also Sohheed and Cambria's album [U]In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth : 3

Omar uses a custom Ibanez. It seems like a junky piece of crap to me, but he gets amazing sounds.

Nah man, I've played on the un-customized model of his Ibanez, they are an incredible guitar to play.

[pikester]

Pedro The Lion - It's Hard To Find a Friend.

[LegallyAwesome]

- Bits of the Janes Addiction- Strays album put out early 2004 (i tink).
The Shins- Oh, Inverted World
Tom Waits
Dredg - El Cielo
(strangely) Boris the Sprinkler - End of the Century LP
(check them out if you've never heard/heard of them. Very funny, fast, good punk rock...from my hometown, surprisingly)

Mix a good bit of Led Zeppelin in there too, and that's my list right now.

[LegallyAwesome]

while we're questioning the instrument-use of Mars Volta, i gottsta add- whatever they're using at the moment (perhaps some custom, hybrid-model or sumthing), it sounds very insindiary (ok, my spelling is off, and im not Rogert Ebert- so that just bumped me 2 stories under the ground)....

but it's very excellent, and want to have that guitar sound.

Mars Volt! Be De-loused....or lose.
...ok.

[Tangy zizzle]

At the moment I really can't get enough of The Icarus Line. They are really what I needed. A very raunchy, dark and raw rock band.

Van Morrison's early material is getting a thrashing here aswell. Hard Nose The Highway and Astral Weeks have become staples in my house over the last couple months. Those two albums are so good, and do not get enough credit these days.

Korekyojin are a very interesting Japanese band that I've been diggin' recently. Strange psychotic/psychadelic prog-punk music. Very good stuff.

[Tapeworm]

I just got Missy Higgins' Scar EP and it is brilliant, a lot more upbeat (well the tracks that will appear on the album), and just plain blow-awayful.

I also picked up Dylan's Blood on the Tracks for $10. My favourite Dylan album, and I'm heavily into him at the moment.

I also listened to the Mike Skinner interview on JJJ this morning and watched The Streets play on Channel V, and Mike Skinner is definately the man. Also happened to see an hour long Beastie Boys special and a live performance on [V] today, and that was awesome. And I was just about to dismiss it as the worst music channel ever.

[Randy Nomad]

Captain Beefheart,

Fair enough. I don't like only having one pickup and it's not all that nice looking so it put me off.

Recently I've been getting into Skeleton Key and Bob Log III (whose music is just goofy, but his act has still impressed me since I saw him live about 4 months ago).

I'm liking Tom McRea alot...I've checked out Thursday too, but I really disliked the stuff I've heard so far.

I've been listening to some old favorites these days...I realized again how good OK Computer is...it's great to rediscover an album like that. I'm also digging dEUS again...I can't emphasize enough how good that band is...want proof? Download "Instant Street".

Coolest song ever.

[Jellyspoon]

Three CDs i got for my birthday;

* Regina Spektor - Soviet Kitsch excellent so far.
* Polyphonic Spree - Together We're heavy - tainkg time.
* Meat Beat Manifesto - Actual Sounds and Voices - I was so surprised when this actually arrived in the post today. It's a US import. The peak of techno.

of course I havent absorbed them yet, and im still sucking on TSOPTC and Miss Machine.

The New Year

I don't know if you'll like them though, they don't seem like a Br3ad_man type band.:p

right now, im starting to get into liquid tension experiment, a silver mount zion and hopefully some other post-rock oldies like flying saucer attack and bark psychosis. go soulseek!

Cyndi Lauper

"Time After Time"

[Tapeworm]

^ ^ ^ Nice. Cyndi Lauper is freaking radical!

I've been listening to a lot of The Streets, and I listened to QOTSA for the first time in ages today.

[OrbDragon]

- Ozric Tentacles is a really good acid-prog-rock band...they are ****ing amazing. I'm digging Can too.
- The Electric Six are one of my guilty pleasures...
- The George Baker Selection turn out have other cool songs besides the übercool song "Little Green Bag". They are officially homeland pride to me. The singers voice is fockin rad.
- I'm also starting another Ani DiFranco-wind. uh-oh.

[Happymeal]

Kind Of Like Spitting-"Birds Of A Feather", can't get enough of the song, pop-punk lyrics with violin
Two Ton Shoe-"Believe", funk/alt/rock with groovy bass
Denali-"Gunner", Maura Davis rules..but they broke up :upset:
Flaming Lips-"All We Have Is Now", makes me cry..out to buy Soft Bulletin..hehehe
Zero 7-"In the Waiting Line", a bit like Air, but more lounge-ey and less dark

..torn between MBV's Loveless or DJ Shadow's Endtroducing(and they're both cheap) or SDRE's Diary..argh

[Tapeworm]

Thats a really difficult decision. If I were you, I would get Endtroducing... and Loveless. Or maybe try not to have such good taste. :thumb:

Meh, I'm still new to this stuff.. I'm trying to keep an open mind, that's all.. just got out of that pop-punk "poseur" emo phase,hahahaha. So far I've listened to Six Days and Stem/Long Stem and seen Walkie Talkie's video from DJ Shadow and I'm quite impressed.. and my friends keeps telling me to buy Loveless and Souvlaki.. haven't heard any MBV or Slowdive material yet though, but I'm interested! ssoouunnd trrripppiiiiing...

Thanks by the way:)

[Luxor]

I'd go with SDRE's The Diary. (Both of the other two are amazing albums as well though.) :thumb:

[Happymeal]

Ok, I'll just save up so I can buy them all at the same time!!:smash: thanks!:)

[Happymeal]

Oh yeah I forgot. Bjork-Play Dead and Tori Amos-Gold Dust, Sweet Sangria. My faves from both artists.

The Electric Six are one of my guilty pleasures...


DUDE!!! I wanna take you to a gay bar!!

[br3ad_man]

..torn between MBV's Loveless or DJ Shadow's Endtroducing(and they're both cheap) or SDRE's Diary..argh

That's so hard!!!!! I'd get Loveless but only just :(

I hate making decisions like that :( :( :(

Get them all though :thumb:

The UnderWorld Soundtrack (which isn't really Great, but features a couple cool tracks remixed by Danny Loner, and also a remix w/ Maynard of David Bowie's "Bring Me the Disco King- been digging that much lately, need to hear the original)

Jerm Pollet....From his ongoing solo stuff and Gals Panic, to a couple internet-samples of his guitars in Ongoing Wow, I've been interested in picking up a couple of related stuff. I've been finding it's very cool. Need CD's tho..

anybody into Grinspoon?

Grinspoon = teh ghey.

[clown_phobia]

i think i've heard a bit of grinspoon on some indie compilations.. it was pretty good but nothing spectacular.

[Tapeworm]

Meh, Grinspoon are getting crappier and crappier.

I really love the Underworld soundtrack. Too bad about the movie though. That Puscifier song and the Bowie/MJK one are both incredible.

I've been diggin' The Postal Service...Give up. Im really getting into the songs, and they melody of them. Its a great album.
songs:
-The district sleeps alone
-nothing better
-brand new colony
...and so on.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Ok, I'll just save up so I can buy them all at the same time!!:smash: thanks!:)

you wont regret it...

[br3ad_man]

Grinspoon = teh ghey.
Quoted for truth.

The second they tried to be a real band was the second they failed.

[LegallyAwesome]

Guess that's true...i was into Grinspoon for awhile but realized how stail they starting sounding after awhile
I was just hoping at the time that more Australian bands (like them or not) would get more notice..

[ATDIrock]

I'm getting into the whole "avant garde" stuff. Bands like Godspeed you black emperor, explosions in the sky, sigur ros, mogwai etc.

I'm so glad I got out of the pop punk scene just in time though. It's getting worse and worse.

[bumskin]

I'm going for Glassjaw atm. Head Automatica is also good but not what I'd expect from Daryl Palumbo. Anyway, thing about Glassjaw is I never like any of their work at all on the first hearing but the more I hear it it's got some kind of charm to it. However, after a while it gets repetitive so I ignore it. Only to come back to it again with an open mind. Is that a good thing...

I missed out tonight on The Cure, Mogwai, Interpol and The Rapture all because I don't have any stupid friends that have the same musical tastes as me. :upset:

I sure as heck wasn't goin' alone! I bet it was a good concert. :(

Whenever you go to big festivals you always get split up from your friends, plus friends get in the way.

Dissapointed...

I go to gigs alone for that very reason. Why shouldn't you go alone anyway? It's not like you can really talk to anyone during the gig anyway!

I'd be nervous to go to a gig by myself. Scared of drunk people :(

Most of my friends would get in the way though. It's kind of like when you want to see a movie by yourself and then somone random sits next to you.


I'm loving blink 182's latest album, especailly the track with Robert Smith. Daym it's good.

[Tapeworm]

^ ^ ^ Goo goo g'joob, my friend. That album is nice. :thumb:

I saw the clip for Jeff Buckley's "Forget Her" the other night, and it has led me to a huge Jeff binge. "Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk" is one of the most unfairly ignored album of the 90's. I really love it.

[toshoffthebill]

I just got Mark Lanegan's solo album Bubblegum, it wasn't what I expected at all but I'm still really liking it, theres quite a good mix of slow and faster tracks. Its also got some really good collaborations with PJ Harvey, Josh Homme and others.

[Jellyspoon]

I'd be nervous to go to a gig by myself. Scared of drunk people :(

I see, how old are you bread?

You could just become a drunk scary person yourself :thumb:

[Happymeal]

I've been to some nasty high school and college gigs..everyone else is stoned or drunk, but at least they mind their own business.:P But drunk people are sometimes scary..They randomly stab people back in my country..yeesh.

Anyways, I didn't have enough cash so I bought Isn't Anything by MBV first 'cause it's cheaper($7.99 Canadian!).It's my first taste of shoegazer I guess..I listened to a little Sonic Youth before but I forgot how it sounded like,hehe. I like Lose My Breath, I Can See It(But I Can't Feel It) and Cupid Come. I hope Loveless is even better. :D

[Geometric Patterns]

I've been playing 'blank-wave acrade' by the faint a lot lately, I think its going to melt. Also the 'Proximity Effect' and 'Let Go' by Nada Surf. Ah, great albums. The faint is touring again! :D

Sometimes its best going to your favorite gigs alone, while going with friends is fun, you have to kind of keep an eye on where they are so they dont get lost yada yada. its hard to really get into the music. at a lot of the little local highschool things theres kids who are usually at their first show and decide they might as well drink and blaze too, why not try three new things. They got on my nerves a little too much, so I dont really chill in that scene too much anymore.

[Luxor]

I baught The Stills album tonight. I haven't gotten through the entire album yet, but what I've listened to so far is pretty darn good.

[dying_to_live11]

ok some sweet songs would have to be:

the sound-further seems forever
we looked like giants- death cab for cutie
the tension and the terror- straylight run
lover i dont have to love-bright eyes(one of the weirdest songs ever)
okay i believe but my tommy gun dont- brand new

Loveless is about 3 times as good. Isn't Anything is still a great record though.

Rogue Wave have made an impression on me recently. Out Of The Shadows is one of the best albums of the year so far, very good stuff.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

ive been digging early 20s and 30s and before jazz, its really amazing what was being done way back then and how much music has actually gotten a lot simpiler since then...

I was in HMV today and saw MBV, I almost baught it but decided not too... I have a few MP3's and I think that'll do.

[br3ad_man]

bought! You almost bought it!

I'm going to listen to The Fragile by NIN today. It's not often that I get a day off school (this will be my second one in 2004) but it's good times when I do.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

sorry man but that just wont do, you need to get that album for the sake of really experiencing it the way you should...its an album made to be an album, not just a bunch of singles, its a living breathing entity in itself, you need the whole album to truely understand...

[StrangerMangler]

I've really gotten into interpol and ther album "turn on the bright lights", its great

I like "A Lack of Colour" and "Expo '86" the best, what album should I get?

[Luxor]

Well, both of those songs are off Transatlanticism... So I suggest you get that album.

[br3ad_man]

alright. I'll download it first, just in case...I know you understand that :)

[Happymeal]

Darn. I sold my copy of The Fragile a few months ago.. I miss it so much..:( La Mer and Just Like You Imagined Rocks..

Haven't heard Death Cab myself..they got me curious though, so does Pavement and Lovage, are they good? Argh..there's so much I wanna listen to but don't have money right now.:upset: (I don't download by the way)

[Tapeworm]

My copy of The Fragile was stolen by one of my bastard friends. I miss it. I've bene kickin' it with my Jeff Buckley DVD lately. And I'm really getting back into Interpol in anticipation of Antics.

[br3ad_man]

^^^^ GHEY!!!!

Maybe you should kill him :)

Not really.


Is Jeff's DVD good? I was thinking of getting it.

[OrbDragon]

I'm digging Dälek alot...their new album is coming out soon and I can't wait to hear it. Speaking of new albums, I've gotten into a huge Björk wind after I saw her perform "Oceania" at the Olympic opening...that song was friggin' incredible. I just hope the album version doesn't turn out lame.

I'm also thinking of buying the new Dillinger Escape Plan record...their new singer is incredible.

[Tapeworm]

Is Jeff's DVD good? I was thinking of getting it.

My favourite DVD by far. Words can not describe it's goodness. Definately buy it. DO IT.

[Tangy zizzle]

Rogue Wave have been blowin' my mind. Out Of The Shadow is a really good album.

I got an Idlewild album yesterday. It's called Hope Is Important, and it's not very good. I'd never heard them before, so I thought I wouldn't lose on it - since it was only $2. I'd give it a 6/10.

[Little Man being Erased]

I like Idlewild, I have The Remote Part and it is quite good. I haven't heard that (^^) album, but I don't think you should give up on them yet. Go get The Remote Part or just listen to "A Modern Way of Letting Go", that song is brilliant.

[Tangy zizzle]

[clown_phobia]

it must be good to live up to your standards, no kidding.

[Tangy zizzle]

[clown_phobia]

all your albums of the week are really good and classic, but now you name one that i've never heard of, so I'm saying it must be good to get mentioned.

[Tangy zizzle]

Ah ok, I getcha now. I thought you were taking the piss...

It's a top album, check it out.

[br3ad_man]

My favourite DVD by far. Words can not describe it's goodness. Definately buy it. DO IT.

It'll be my next purchase. Unless I find an extremely cheap Elliott Smith album.

[KazooVirtuoso]

I'm also thinking of buying the new Dillinger Escape Plan record...their new singer is incredible.

You should, it's a great album. The new singer sounds very Patton influenced at times, and has big muscles and the hairstyle of a little schoolboy. What more can you ask for in a singer?

But anyway, my current diggin'-it list:

DEP - Miss Machine
Mastodon - Leviathan
Pinback - Summer in Abaddon (album of the year for me, even though it's not actually out yet)
Pelican - Australasia

I also recently discovered the band Ozomatli, and while they're nowhere near a favorite of mine, they're a fun little jig up in dis joint.

[KappaKid17]

Franz Ferdinand's self titled is quite addicting, and I've been into that for the past couple of weeks.

I've been listening to the Fiery Furnaces' "Blueberry Boat" due to the overwhelming response and plugging of the album here, and the album certainly deserves it.

I've started listening to a lot of:

!!!
Sparta
Stone Temple Pilots
Fu Manchu
The Cure

[Luxor]

I borrowed Jeff Buckley - Grace from my girlfriend today... I've never heard anything by him but I've head good things, so I decided to check him out.

[TFKGuitarpunk]

I've been into mike patton for a while, but not like.... ya know....well anyway, i finally bought Mr. Bungle: California yesterday, and its friggin awesome.

I'm going hardcore with the Elliott Smith lately. I'm also listening to some Josh Groban.

[Tapeworm]

I'm still stuck to Jeff Buckley, and I was listening to The Smiths this morning. Ryan Adams is kicking me in the back of the leg too.

Man I really hope you love Jeff Ihate. It's so exciting to watch as someone hears him for the first time.

[Tangy zizzle]

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm really diggin' Death Cab for Cutie a lot lately. And also The Postal Service. They are both so awesome. I have been liking them for a little while now but I only just got Transatlanticism and Give Up today. I've already listened to them both a couple of times and they are brilliant.

[Happymeal]

The first time I heard Jeff was last year,Everybody Here Wants You..gives me chills all the time. It made me wanna buy Sketches just for that song:lol:

Just a few minutes ago my friend told me about this band, and instantly got into The Fall Of Troy(screamo that sounds like DEP but much more melodic). Their song "Ghostship Part Four" reminds me of The Mars Volta/ATDi. I don't know if anyone else here knows about them, but you can check 'em out on Purevolume.

[Jellyspoon]

^More melodic than 'Calculating Infinity' or 'Miss Machine'?

[Happymeal]

Yup, but they sing a lot more and are not as chaotic as DEP(though they remind me of Miss Machine). I'm new to DEP myself, sorry I can't think of any other band that sounds like them..I dunno..I find them pretty good. You guys should check 'em out. www.purevolume.com/thefalloftroy All the songs there are great.

[Tapeworm]

I just found out that Damien Rice is touring Australia, and instantly purchased my tickets. I can see a long binge coming on.

[br3ad_man]

I assume he's coming to Brisbane. I bet they made it an over 18 show, just to spite me :upset:

Is the venue a pub?

[guitardrummer54]

Lately i have been listening to a lot of grunge and alternative music like pearl jam, janes addiction, stone temple pilots, and audioslave

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeh, Damien Rice is at The Tivoli. It's 18+. Un-bloody-lucky.

[Spitshine Sonata]

Yeh, Damien Rice is at The Tivoli. It's 18+. Un-bloody-lucky.
Are you from STL...If so I had no idea they had concerts there :confused:

[Spitshine Sonata]

I'm going hardcore with the Elliott Smith lately. I'm also listening to some Josh Groban.
Josh Groban is not my style but what a voice...you can not mess with that :chug:

[Spitshine Sonata]

Jeff Buckley.....whats the big deal with this guy...I don't mean that in a bad way...but I have listened to tid bits of him...and he has good basslines...I cant stand his voice on everybody wants you...I listen to another though and not bad.

[Little Man being Erased]

Are you from STL...If so I had no idea they had concerts there :confused:

No. Brisbane, Australia. :)

Currently into the Meat Puppets. I'd only heard the Nirvana covers before this week. They're a great band.

The exact same thing is going on with me. I recommend meat puppets II, i just got it and its great.

I baught 3 albums today. :eek:

Godspeed You Black Emporer! - Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven
Bob Dylan - These Times They Are A Changin'

I finally got the Godspeed album, I've only had a few MP3's for so long. I got it for a bargain too, Best Buy had it for $18.99, instead of $31.99 at HMV.

I decided to pick up the Trail Of Dead album, mostly because I've heard it's so good, I've only heard 2 songs by them.

In the UK, I have never seen a gig that had an age limit on it. Ever. I feel sorry for you guys.

[moderaterock222]

In the UK, I have never seen a gig that had an age limit on it. Ever. I feel sorry for you guys.
I've seen quite a few and attended two over 18's gigs...one being Tom Mcrae In manchester Life Cafe, and the Other being Ed Harcourt at Chesters telfords warehouse.
It tends to be the small, club type venues.

[AfroMan]

Most gigs in Scotland have an age limit of 14 and over or 18 and over.............

I think you can get into 14 and over if your with an adult though.

[barbieman420]

Ok so heres a semi-new idea for a thread. Basically, you just post what ever song,album or artist you have really been liking at the moment. If it's a new band you could put a little bit about them, good songs etc...

So if this works well enough, we could maybe get it sticky'd ( Nacho? ).

Well, a cool new(ish) band I've been listening to alot lately is These Arms Are Snakes . They are a post-hardcore,art punky band who have one EP out called This is Mean to Hurt You.

Good songs to check out would be:

The Blue Rose
Drinking From the Necks of Loved Ones
Run it Through the Dog
Riding the Grape Dragon

---------------------------------------

I have been listening to Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps alot lately and have come to the conclusion that it is my favourite Neil Young album. Definately check it out!

---------------------------------------

Television - Friction is one incredible song. Ahead of it's time.


If you guys think this is a shitty idea for a thread just say so. If not, update with new stuff whenever you feel the need.
This isnt a new band or anything but the pixies 'doolittle' album is pretty good.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm kind of getting into Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes through a friend, but I'm digging the hell out of Mercury Rev. Boces is supoib. It's one of those albums that comes along every once in a while and blows you away completely.

I plug those bands non-stop and you're only now deciding to get into them! :angry:

[br3ad_man]

You'll get your turn. Or you'll get your fake ID. I only just turned 18, so I know how you feel man.

Yeah, I know. I'm turning 16 pretty soon, so after that only 2 years to go.

[Tangy zizzle]

So maybe you were kind of a factor :p but DLJ > Hot Snakes.

Damn right I was! Hot Snakes > DLJ :p

[Tomahawk]

I'm extremely digging Big Black right now. Awesome stuff

And I'm really liking Dillinger Escape Plan's new album. More accessable than their other stuff, which is a good thing, says I.

Also digging the Melvins, Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Secret Chiefs 3.

[Luxor]

I've been so busy lately, I haven't even had time to fully get into all the music I've gotten recently. Too much music! Too little time!

[br3ad_man]

Which album do you like best? I think I prefer Atomiser

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm liking the new Datsuns disc. It's a little different than the debut, a little moodier. It's still just good, fun rock n roll. Can't wait to see 'em live again... only 3 more weeks! Yaye for me.

[Little Man being Erased]

Go the Datsuns!! They are one very good live band. They absolutely blew me away when I saw them in April last year. I have only listened to their new album a few times but I think it is growing on me.

[clown_phobia]

THE VINES! Craig Nicholls is god!

[Tangy zizzle]

Go the Datsuns!! They are one very good live band. They absolutely blew me away when I saw them in April last year. I have only listened to their new album a few times but I think it is growing on me.

I like the fact that they aren't trying to be artsy or pretensious. The new album has got pretty poor reviews from what I've seen, but they will always have an excellent live show. They play solid music, and that's the way it should be!

[Tapeworm]

The Datsuns are freaky cool.

I just listened to Jeff Buckley - Live at Sin-e for the first time before, and it is the best live album I've ever heard. Amazing, and a must have for any Buckley fan. The rawness and emotion of the songs contrasted with Jeff's casual talking to the audience and jokes and mocking of other songs is just awesome.

[Jellyspoon]

I don't really even like the Datsuns, but live in a sweaty club they were great.

I just ordered 'Oceanic' by Isis at the HMV down the road. I was going to get a godspeed LP too but I couldn't decide between the first and '...skinny fists...'. Any Ideas? I already have Yanqui UXO.

[Tapeworm]

i had the same question recently. I have been advised that they are equally good, but buying "F#A#" first is the way, as it is their first.

[OrbDragon]

Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call

Are 90% of the songs really about PJ Harvey? The album is great nonetheless.

I'm also digging my Joni Mitchell collection...I listened to Hejira, Court & Spark, Blue and Ladies Of The Canyon in a row today. Amazing lyrics.

If you want to get to the front get there super early, but be prepared to have a large horizontal bruise across your chest from the barrier. I think it's more fun to stand slightly further back and jump around. Don't be afraid to use your elbows to get people out of your way, it's all kosher. Go for a crap before the gig, have something to do during the support acts.

Practice standing up for prolonged periods to get your back used to it.

OK :thumb:

Just enjoy yourself, don't get violent and if someone falls down help 'em up.

I'd advise you to brace yourself, because Muse will rock your face off.

You'll love it. Just have a good time and don't be stupid, and the rock will flow like wine.

I just downloaded some Big Black songs. I'm not a big Alt/Indie guy. I'm just trying to get into it. :p

Tomahawk and Tangy had some really good tips. Apart from that, don't be too concerned about getting right to the front, unless you really feel you have to. Wear comfortable shoes, and pants that wont fall down :p . If you are going with friends, organize a place to meet at the end and don't worry about losing them in the crowd during the concert. Support the support bands, especially if they are unknown and aren't getting too much of a positive response from the people that don't give a crap about them. Have lots of fun man!!!

After hearing the new Jeff Buckley song "Forget Her" and seeing the clip I am beginning a massive Jeff binge. I'm listening to Grace at the moment. The whole next week shall hereby be dedicated to Jeff Buckley.

[Tapeworm]

That's like the exact same thing posted when I heard it. Cool as.

[Tomahawk]

"Forget Her" is pretty good, especially for an unreleased track.

And right now I am loving the Pogues. Yay for Ireland!

[Tangy zizzle]

The Walkmen are very good. especially Bows + Arrows, it is a top release.

[hybridofsound]

I picked up Brand New's first album Your Favorite Weapon. Fantastic stuff. I highly suggest:
The No Seatbelt Song
Seventy Times Seven
Failure By Design
Jude Law And The Semester Abroad
Soco Amaretto Lime

Infact buy the album.

I downloaded that cd last night and I really like it.

Thanks for all the tips everyone.

[OrbDragon]

Orb, give Mercury Rev a try if you haven't heard them yet. I believe you'll enjoy them.


I heard Deserter Songs...which is pretty decent. Their new stuff, "All Is Dream" etc. is pretty disappointing. When Jonathan Donahue starts to sing...it usually makes me cringe. "The Tides Of The Moon" is a good song though.

muse will get pretty rough right around the middle and throughout the entire crowd, just be prepared to stand your ground, just sorta let everything flow around you and keep your eyes on the stage...

[br3ad_man]

Can somone reccomend me some Gyroscope songs?

[Little Man being Erased]

^^^^ You need to talk to Tapeworm about them. He should be able to help.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Daniel Johnston
and finally focusing on non live Elliot Smith songs, wonderful...

[Tapeworm]

Can somone reccomend me some Gyroscope songs?

Just go for the biggest songs. They are what got me into them.

Confidence in Confiedentiality
Safe Forever
Doctor Doctor

Amazing band.

[Happymeal]

^Sorry for being ignorant, but I haven't heard of Gyroscope before.:p

/me needs some education:upset:

Yesterday I bought Endtroducing.. and Diary!! Both are fantastic..:D +I got my first Opeth album(Deliverance, I heard it's not their best, but I can't find Morningrise or Blackwater Park anywhere!). I'm also digging Head Automatica right now..Dance/punk(or whatever it's called)is cool.:cool:

[Tapeworm]

^ ^ ^ Doesn't mean you're ignorant, especially if you don't live in Australia. Download those songs if you feel like checking them out.

I just bought the new "Preisdents of the United States Of America" a;bum , "Love Everyone". It is quite amazing.

I just downloaded that, and I'm listening to it now. I thought it would suck, but it's actually really good! The Presidents were the first band I liked, and it's pretty simple stuff, but it's really catchy.

Ive been really digging on Radiohead: Com Lag, Fugazi: The Argument and Tool, Lateralus.
