What I've Been Digging Lately

[br3ad_man]

Oh yeah definitely. You could play both of them at the same time: plucking and snapping some percussive root notes on the bass while fretting/tapping the guitar strings. Or wait... I dunno :(

I'd just like to be playing bass but also be able to pick some leads out when I'm not playing bass.

So I guess I'm on the Kaizers Orchestra bandwagon then.

[Dog]

Thingy - To The Innocent.
Some of the songs are a bit short, but it's good.
The songs would be repetitive and boring if they were any longer, as with all Thingy/Heavy Vegetable albums.

I'm feeding my addiction to Quannum artists. The new Blackalicious and Lyrics Born's LP are shakin' the dorm these days.

[Happymeal]

Am now fully listening to Akuma No Uta and I think it won't be leaving my discman for a while. I admit I like it more than their droney material.

[ATM]

Mehr. I only like Kid A and Amnesiac tons.

And Amnesiac is only very recently.

I don't understand why so many people dislike Amnesiac.

As far as diggage, DJ Shadow, RJD2, and Daft Punk so far today.

[6Stringer]

Today I've listened to:

DFA1979 - You're A Woman, I'm A Machine
Tool - Lateralus

Right now I'm d/ling Interpol - Antics.

[6Stringer]

Kanye West - Late Registration
DangerDoom - The Mouse and The Mask

Score! Those albums still remain my favorite rap albums to date.

So far, today's been:

Fugazi - Repeater
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists - Shake the Sheets

A friend also gave me Sparklehorse's Good Morning Spider to listen to. Conclusion? It's f'ucking amazing.

[OrbDragon]

Sparklehorse is definately incredible.

[n00rfen]

Lydia's upcoming album, 'This December; It's One More & I'm Free' totally kicks ***.

[Happymeal]

Lydia.. Lunch?

[ATM]

I'm yet to hear Sparklehorse. What kind of music?

[Robert Crumb]

^ Sort of lo-fish indieish popish rockish, at least from what I've heard. Decent stuff.

Today has been Miles Davis, Neu!, Spiritualized and right now some Kanye.

[Happymeal]

^In Good Morning Spider they change into different styles. It's not that apparent when you first listen to it though, I suppose they're one of those bands whose subtleness are their strong points.

[pixiesfanyo]

uhm.

I remembered how much I liked Coheed & Cambria this weekend.

[Tangy zizzle]

^ Sort of lo-fish indieish popish rockish, at least from what I've heard. Decent stuff.

Outstanding.

Today I'm dusting off the vinyl and playin' a few classics.

Pixies - Doolittle
Stooges - Raw Power
Gang of Four - Entertainment! (it's funny how so many bands these days cite them as an influence, yet they don't sound like them...)
The Cramps - Psychadelic Jungle

[br3ad_man]

Bloc Party sound like them.

[YDload]

uhm.

I remembered how much I liked Coheed & Cambria this weekend.

Two weeks :D

Primus- Sailing the Seas of Cheese. I was sure I wouldn't like this as much as Frizzle Fry, but it's really ****ing good. Favorite songs are Sgt. Baker, Eleven, Is It Luck?, Tommy the Cat, and Blue Collar Tweekers. Lots o' fun.

[Tangy zizzle]

Bloc Party sound like them.

...You of all people

I missed you Tang

Black band members are the new chick band members.

[br3ad_man]

Dude, chick band members aren't cool unless they play bass.

I'm listening to Entertainment! now. What a top record.

[Tangy zizzle]

A lead singer can't be classed as a (token) black member.

Lydia.. Lunch?
She hasn't made any albums in a while, has she?

The Cure

The Appleseed Cast are ace.

[YDload]

I gave Yank Crime a listen from the YSI thread. Pretty good, but those 7+ minute songs are kinda pointless. Maybe next time I'll give it a try through headphones, see if that doesn't make a difference.

[Tangy zizzle]

That's why I don't like DLJ as much as Hot Snakes. There's way too much foreplay in their music.

Cruci****s
100 Flowers

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

These Arms Are Snakes - Oxeneers Or The Lion Sleeps...

The Grand Wazoo by Frank Zappa is an album that usually surprises me. I don't hold it in high enough regard, or something.

Ok.

Good answer.

I'm digging ourTunes. Musically, I'm digging Ben Harper and Saul Williams.

[Tangy zizzle]

Giving California a three is absolutely ridiculous.

Yeah it's closer to a 2, maybe 2.5.

[pixiesfanyo]

Kanye West - Late Registration (4/5)

How?

I mean it's good.

But no rap album involving skits should be over 3.5.

I'm digging Ziggy Stardust.

[Zappa]

What a bunch of crazies.

My favorite skit is the one where George Bush murders Kanye's family.

But at least he didn't rate Coheed & Cambria higher than Bungle.

[Tangy zizzle]

I like Coheed more than i do Mr. Bungle.

[YDload]

I like both bands a whole lot. They both have a habit of sneaking poppy songs into their bizarre albums (Vanity Fair vs. A Favor House Atlantic).

All this fuss over little old me? Aww, shucks guys.

Amazing stuff.

I just bought Origin of Symmetry not too long ago, so I've been diggin tracks like "New Born", "Bliss", "Space Dementia" (NP), and "Micro Cuts", which, despite my best efforts, I can't not like.

[Tangy zizzle]

Oneida - The Wedding

This is where it's at.

Check out their back catalogue. They're quite an interesting band, but very hit or miss.

[Bartender]

^I'm starting to like that too.

Bartender, what's a good Aerogramme album to start with?

The only Aereogramme album I know in full is A Story in White, but I can rather heartily recommend it. Nacho likes them, I think. Maybe he can be of more help.

[ATM]

I like Broadcast.

[Tangy zizzle]

Woohoo, the delivery man came. He gave me my wonderful package. Such a nice man.

It contained the following (this will be my diggage for the next 2 days):

American Splendor DVD
Black Mountain - Druganaut EP
Black Sabbath - Vol. 4
Black Sabbath - Sabotage (the Ozzy-albums are now completed)
Calexico - Convict Pool EP
The Wrens - The Meadowlands

A good haul methinks.

They'll be back up within the next few days, according to the forums.

The only song I've heard from them is "Not In Your Hands," which is quite peculiar. But worth a listen I guess.

Nope it's different. Maybe not better for everyone, but certainly different :)

Today:

Pixies - Surder Rosa
Black Sabbath - Vol. 4 (I like this more than Master now)
Pink Floyd - Live from Pompeii(probably coolest live performance by anyone, ever)
The Sultans - Shipwrecked

[YDload]

The first time I remember seeing Zappa on mx, he had that very same boglin avatar. He made me feel so foolish and naive for not realizing that System of a Down was heavily influenced by Faith No More and Mike Patton in particular.

Julian Cope.

Man, he's awesome. You like Teardrop Explodes or solo stuff better?

[YDload]

This morning I walked from my dorm to the dining hall while listening to "I Will Dare." So however long that song is, that's how long it takes me to get there.

It was quite enjoyable, I might do it again tomorrow. A sunny, slightly chilly late-summer's morning is a good time for that.

[Robert Crumb]

Man, he's awesome. You like Teardrop Explodes or solo stuff better?

So far I've only got the first Floored Genius compilation but I just got Peggy Suicide so I'm kinding leaning toward his solo stuff. I really ought to pick up an actual Teardrop Explodes album before I make any judgement. Honestly, I'm not liking it all but when he's on, he's certainly pretty darn awesome.

Julien Neto - Le Fumeur de Cielis

I think Killers might be the first 5/5 Iron Maiden album I've listened to. All the other ones seem to have filler songs in them, but this one's complete. Hmph, maybe I'll write up a review for Sputnik.

Alt/Indie is a MASSIVE catch-all category including everything from Radiohead to Joy Division to Belle & Sebastian to the Killers. Alternative and Indie as genres alone are also vague descriptions which hold countless bands that can sound nothing alike. The bands I listed are all very good though. :)

Sparta is would generally be considered alternative (along with many other things), yes.

[YDload]

Alt/Indie is music like REM and the theme song to Pete and Pete.

Or in general, any music you would play to try and impress a girl is probably alt/indie.

Nirvana were a cool indie band, try starting there.

[Bukowski]

Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain


Good isn't it?

DOA - Hardcore '81
dEUS - Ideal Crash
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison

[ATM]

What kind of music are dEUS?

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Good isn't it?

I've been diggin'

DOA - Hardcore '81
dEUS - Ideal Crash
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison

Yeah, it is.
I found myself tapping my foot psychotically to Megaghost without consciously instructing myself to.

[Bukowski]

dEUS are Belgian band...they're an alternative rock band, but they're very original and creative, and mix up a lot of styles in their music - it's pretty layered stuff. They've got a cool sound they can call their own, and I recommend you check them out. I'd upload something for ya' if YSI hadn't closed.

Anyway, they're releasing a new album very soon (sometime this month, no sure exactly when), which if it's like their previous albums, will be awesome.

[Luxor]

A couple different things over the past couple days...

DCFC
Elliott Smith
Massive Attack
M83
Neutral Milk Hotel
Slowdive
My Bloody Valentine

[Zappa]

You just got it? Noob.

Been listening to Clor and Four Tet all evening. Good stuff.

I wish I would have found out about them sooner

The Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Run-DMC - King of Rock

2Pac - 2Pacalypse Now (see notes on Murray Street)

All I have is Double Nickels on the Dime.

They really live up to their name...

[YDload]

My first Minutemen listen tonight. Holy ****. This is really, really good.

I wish I would have found out about them sooner

everyone wishes they found out about them sooner

I wish I had heard Minutemen when I was less than three months old because then D. Boon would still have been alive :(

[Rockafella]

Xiu Xiu and James Brown.

[yapper1200]

Sparta-Vacant Skies
Death From Above 1979-Kiss Me

[asymm]

Leakage/diggage today...

Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain
Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better With Franz Ferdinand

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Cog, a bit of the new Coheed and Cambria [which is infinitely better than all the old Coheed and Cambria, he has lost his 'knife to the groin makes me squeal' factor].

[Zmev]

The Natural History
Patti Smith

[Happymeal]

Which album(s)?

Digging:

Nation Of Ulysses - 13-Point Program to Destroy America
Mayo Thompson - Corky's Debt to His Father
Flaming Lips - In a Priest Driven Ambulance

Nice.

[BillCosby]

Scientist - Dub In Roots Tradition

[pixiesfanyo]

Comets on Fire
The new Black Dice.

[Zappa]

Gustav Mahler's Symphony Number 1 ("Titan")

[Luxor]

Blacklicious - Blazing Arrow

I'm the last person on earth to hear this. It's excellent.
Nope.

I just got it this morning. Pretty awesome so far.

[Bukowski]

Today's digging:

King Prawn - First Offense
Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime
Black Flag - In My Head

Seems Hot Snakes are on the playlist for the new Tony Hawk game - they'll be covering a Government Commissions song. It's about the only thing that looks promising, whereas Rise Against covering Black Flag, Fall Out Boy covering Gorilla Biscuits and 'Emanuel' covering The Stooges are probably destined for disaster.

[King_Karl]

Arcade Fire. The Editors. The Rakes.

[asymm]

Magazine - Secondhand Daylight
Crispy Ambulance - The Plateau Phase
Sigur Rós - Takk

[Zappa]

Magazine - Secondhand Daylight
Crispy Ambulance - The Plateau Phase
Sigur Rós - Takk

Now there's an album I haven't heard. How does it compare to Real Life and The Correct Use of Soap?

[Anxious]

Black Flag - In My Head


I think its funny how Greg mixed Rollins almost completely out of that record.

[Tomahawk]

Franz Ferdinand - You Could Have It So Much Better With Franz Ferdinand

the tracks don't stand out individually as much as they did on the last album, but I think it flows a lot better. The first sounded like a greatest hits compilation, and this sounds like an actual album.
I agree. I think that songs like Walk Away and Eleanor Put Your Boots On really help the album, they stop it from getting too samey like the first one.

Anyway that's what I've been digging too. I like the album, it's not great, but it's solidified my opinion that they're by far the best band to come out of the whole new wave revival thing. Hell, FF and Bloc Party are really the only bands in that whole scene who've managed to make solid albums.

[Iai]

I think the Art Brut album is pretty solid.

Anyway, I'm downloading the FF album. But right now I'm listening to Rumors.

[Tomahawk]

Oh and here's this thing.

I don't remember listening to that much Duran Duran.

[asymm]

I was thinking of checking them out. School me.
Okay, well it's a Factory records release and their only studio LP ('82). Along with most Factory releases, it's a moody post-punk record. The sound found here has more psychedelic influences than I initially anticipated, but it's fantastic. It's atmosphere is excellent and one of the best reasons for me to recommend it. I've only heard it a couple of times, but I'm really enjoying it.

Now there's an album I haven't heard. How does it compare to Real Life and The Correct Use of Soap?
Unfortunately, this is the only Magazine album I've heard. It's very enjoyable so I plan on picking up Real Life in the near future...

Broken Ear has been growing on me. At first the "catchy" (loosely used here) tracks didn't compel me very much, but I see more in them now that I didn't before.

I like it.

It's no Beaches & Canyons. But it's not trying to be. The only problem is sometimes I listen too loud and hurt my ears.

[br3ad_man]

This Jimmy Eat World cd is great. Does anyone else like them?

[Happymeal]

This Jimmy Eat World cd is great. Does anyone else like them?

Moi. And RQ of course.

Ah yes, I knew you would. Clarity is brilliant, my good mate showed me some tracks from it on the bus today and I dug it. The second song is like :eek:

JEW is a solid band.

Clarity is a great album when you are feeling it.

[br3ad_man]

I thought you would like them. There are some really really brilliant songs on that album.

[Happymeal]

Haven't had the time for full albums lately so some songs from

Antony and The Johnsons
Deltron 3030
various Kool Keith
Mission of Burma
Boris(Bartender listen to the song "A Bao A Qu")
Gospel

[Zappa]

Pavement's Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain and Slowdive's Souvlaki and Elliott Smith's Roman Candle and Brian Eno's Another Green World.

I fit with the Alt&Indie in crowd today.

[BillCosby]

Trivium - Ascendancy (4/5 - this one surprised me a lot)'

Wow.

[Bartender]

Boris(Bartender listen to the song "A Bao A Qu")


From which release?

[pixiesfanyo]

'

Wow.

Yeah. Iai lost about all respect I had for him with that statement.

[Happymeal]

From which release?

Mabuta No Ura(film soundtrack)

[YDload]

Yeah. Iai lost about all respect I had for him with that statement.

They're pretty all right for a newer metal band, certainly not horrible. But there's a user around named Trivium who's a huge faggo, so that might be one external reason why the band gets a bad rap.

[BillCosby]

Yeah. Iai lost about all respect I had for him with that statement.


I wouldn't say I lost respect, but I'm very surprised.

[sketchyjoe]

Woody Guthrie - The Asch Recordings (Vol 1 - 4) - 5/5
Hank Williams - 40 Greatest Hits - 5/5

Okay, I'll try to. The only copy I can find so far (on eBay) is expensive, though.

[Happymeal]

Okay, I'll try to. The only copy I can find so far (on eBay) is expensive, though.

I can send you the song if you want.

If you have the time, that would be great :)

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Lots of music from Epitonic, I've been going on a 'follow the trail of recommended artists' spree.

Fun.

I've followed a trail from jazz to emo, then from emo to beatboxing, then from beatboxing to dub. Some of this music is really amazingly good/strange.

[asymm]

Should I care about the new Black Dice? Creature Comforts was ok but not that great.
If you've liked Black Dice in the past, this isn't too far of a departure really. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot at least. Two albums after it though, it seems that Beaches and Canyons really will remain their top form.
