What I've Been Digging Lately

I keep hearing about this band, what do they sound like?

Also, I've been digging Against Me! - Acoustic EP.

Pere Ubu is a mega weird post-punk band. Their music tends to be unbelievably "nervy" and awkward to the point of often being annoying. I don't actually like them very much.

Pere Ubu is a mega weird post-punk band. Their music tends to be unbelievably "nervy" and awkward to the point of often being annoying. I don't actually like them very much.

They have a great bottom end though.

For Decay:

David Thomas' vocals are not for everyone but if you happen to like them upon the first listen you'll be hooked. Their first 3 LPs are where it's at and if you can find their first EPs you'll be set.

[Zappa]

I can dig some of The Modern Dance, but Dub Housing makes me vomit.

[Dog]

I love Thomas' vocals; they're a big strongpoint for Pere Ubu in my eyes. The Modern Dance > all.

[The NPC]

I can dig some of The Modern Dance, but Dub Housing makes me vomit.

Hmm, those are some magical albums there buddy boy.

[pixiesfanyo]

I lend myself to the Modern Dance is hot club.

[JonM]

Primal Scream. Tell me you guys know this band. Oh my gosh. The 1990s have just been redefined for me.

[Iai]

Of course we know Primal Scream, they're the ultimate retirement home for rock stars who've exhausted their potential in other bands.

[Little Man being Erased]

I just listened to Remain in Light and enjoyed it more than I ever have before. Wow. I need more Talking Heads.

[Anxious]

I can dig some of The Modern Dance, but Dub Housing makes me vomit.
I'd say the same except that I absolutely love The Modern Dance, but I don't like Dub Housing as much as it.

Actually that is nothing like your statement.

[Robert Crumb]

Mingus Plays Piano

[Tomahawk]

Care to enlighten me as to what that means? I just downloaded the record and listened to it; I have no context for it.
The band members, at some point, have included a guy from Jesus & Mary Chain, a guy from the Stone Roses, and Kevin Shields from My Bloody Valentine.

Are you using 4 stereos to listen to it?

[Anxious]

London Calling is irritating.

Listening to the Replacements, and gosh I love them. It's been way too long since I last rocked Let it Be.

Dang.

[Anxious]

They're like the Fall but more aggressive. "
Awesome.

[Little Man being Erased]

Honestly everyone needs to check them out. They're like the Fall but more aggressive. "Stonestampers Song" would make Jawbox jealous.

Well I'd say so too, they wouldn't sound great live at all because of all the electronics they use. But the album is a good stuff.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, maybe. But they seemed to just be ****ing around most of the time. I have to admit though, that I did like that song "Mr. You're on Fire, Mr." before I saw them live.

[Daniel!]

World/Inferno Friendship Society - Eastcoast Supersound Punk of Today

And, not to be left out, I'm gonna check out the Ex and Jawbox. I never really could get into the Fall, though.

[The NPC]

That's from their first album, the one I like is their second one.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah I knew that.

[The NPC]

Yeah I knew that.

Oh yeah?

Oh I will Tom.

Try not to be so sad all the time though.

It wasn't a dig on the band (I like them a lot), just an indie in-joke of some kind.

I'm digging Krysytof Penderecki's Matrix 5, in light of the fact that I'm writing an essay on the nature of music, and whether avantgarde pieces can actually be considered music. It's due in in a little under 3 hours. 200 words left.

HELLO FORUM

Over the past month, i've been diggin' copious amounts of Tindersticks, 'cos man they are absolutely incredibly fu'cking good.

And i've discovered how good Tom Waits is, and how DREADFUL Joanna Newsom is.

And as always, i've been listening to the Kinsella brothers projects (American Football etc), cos they are orgasmic. Metaphorically, of course.

Today i've listened to:

Talk Talk - Laughing Stock
Saccharine Trust - We Became Snakes
Husker Du - Flip your Wig

A good day it was.

Last night I listened to:

Kashmir - Zitilites

And I've got some Coltrane on the cards for today.

[The Great Decay]

Today's listening has consisted mostly of Radiohead.

[Electrocution]

I made a playlist called "Screamown," so I've been listening to that.

I've only got American Water and Tanglewood Numbers (the new one.) Out of those two, I'd give American Water the edge for recommendation but Tanglewood Numbers is growing on me. Everyone should acquire the song "Sometimes a Pony Gets Depressed" in some fashion, it makes me a happy camper.

I got Dungen - Ta Det Lugnt today and it's ok. I really like how the drums sound more than anything.

Orbison is seriously overlooked around here. Just an incredible voice. My parents were huge fans of his so I have a bunch of his albums from them.

That man is just an unbelievable composer. "Last Song" might possibly be the best musical composition that has ever gazed my ears. That song is so beautiful...yet so minimalistic. The melodies almost sound unfinished, which makes them perfect in an ugly sort of fashion.

If i had to choose a last song to hear it would be the "Last Song"...it's just mind boggling to think that someone could compose music like this. It never fails to blow me away.

Mine still hasn't updated.

Sometimes mine updates a lot faster.

They use http://www.last.fm/index.php. I'm not sure how they can stand it, it's such a horribly slow website. It kills me.

such a wierd week for me, I barely listened to anything.....on my computer anyway.

[asymm]

Jóhann Jóhannsson - Dís
Ghostface - The Pretty Toney Album

[Zappa]

Same. It has two good songs (first and last tracks).

Or, you know, all of them.

[Little Man being Erased]

I enjoyed pretty much the entire album on my first listen. I'm beginning to develop my love for Talking Heads.

[Daniel!]

Johnny Cash - Live at San Quentin
Johnny Cash - Live at Folsom Prison.

I wish I had one of those last fm things, because I want to know how much Minutemen I've listened to this week. I'm guessing I've listened to about 200 songs or so.

[The NPC]

Hah, I'm liking this really lame nerdy band Pencil right now. They suck so hard but I can't stop listening to it.

[The NPC]

All of them would be good if most of them didn't suck. "Thank You For Sending Me An Angel" almost redeems the whole thing.

Well there are some throw away tracks but to say that there are just two good tracks is silly.

[Zappa]

If you don't like "For Artists Only" you can just get out of town.

[Bartender]

Thank You For Sending Me An Angel was the first Talking Heads song I heard, and I'm glad it was.

I'm also of the opinion that pretty much every song is great, though.

[Little Man being Erased]

Why can't there be more than one good one?

[Zappa]

With Talking Heads, there are 5 "good ones."

[Little Man being Erased]

Good.

[Dog]

I'm a big Talking Heads fan. Has anyone bought the DualDisc boxset for TH that was recently released? I'd like to get it but I've heard a lot of audio complaints and for that sum of money I wanna make sure it's worth it.

Oingo Boing - Only A Lad
Tomahawk - s/t

I'm going to wait till January to just buy the first 5 releases. I'm not big on Little Creatures or Naked or True Stories.

The Remain in Light dualdisc I'm especially excited for. It has unreleased tunes from those sessions.

[Dog]

Ah, I didn't know that they're releasing them individually. I'll wait for them, too, unless I find the box set used and/or really cheap somewhere.

And yeah I'm looking forward to the unreleased material.

[Zappa]

I just read that the CDs don't fit in a computer disc drive, cause they're thick. HOW WILL I RIP THEM?

[Anxious]

Why was R.E.M. not highlighted?
Cause, I umm, forgot.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Beatles - Rubber Soul
The Beatles - Revolver
The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Beatles - The White Album
The Beatles - Abbey Road
The Beatles - Let it Be

So I listened to Rubber Soul this morning and then I couldn't stop.

It was a good day.

[rbv]

Talking Heads - The Name of the Band is Talking Heads

It totally pwns Stop Making Sense.

[Daniel!]

Sonic Youth - Washing Machine
Meat Puppets - Too High to Die

Washing Machine is a quality album.

[YDload]

HUM- "Apollo"

I must not have heard this particular song very often, but it's really quite beautiful. So quiet and subdued as opposed to the rest of the album.

[br3ad_man]

Dntel - Life Is Full of Possibilities

[Interstate]

Dntel - Life Is Full of Possibilities

Nice.

John Vanderslice - Five Years just arrived in the post today and since I'm off work ill I thought I'd give it a spin. I've listened to two tracks so far and I'm liking it. It has all the Vanderslice songs I've previously listened to on it which is good. (It's kind of like a best of compilation thing)

[Zappa]

Talking Heads - The Name of the Band is Talking Heads

It totally pwns Stop Making Sense.

As long as you're referring to the CD version, you're right. That two-CD set is ridiculously fantastic.

[br3ad_man]

That's my friend's favourite Talking Heads album. I've kind of ignored it because it's a live album.

[OrbDragon]

I'm actually liking the song "Summer Skin" by Death Cab For Cutie, which is a first.

[Interstate]

I'm actually liking the song "Summer Skin" by Death Cab For Cutie, which is a first.

It's a great song, one of my favourite off Plans.

[br3ad_man]

Is Plans good? I seriously think Trans is the best, I've heard We Have The Facts and The Photo Album many times and none of them come close for me.

[Interstate]

Is Plans good? I seriously think Trans is the best, I've heard We Have The Facts and The Photo Album many times and none of them come close for me.

I didn't like it too much at first but it's become one of my favourite albums of this year. Personally nothing can top ...Facts though. Transatlanticism is also a brilliant album. Give You Can Play Songs With These Chords a spin, it's a compilation of early demos, B-sides and rarities - that's my second favourite and a great example of the bands early work.

Of course I am a Death Cab fan(atic) so I might be a bit bias.

[Luxor]

If you think Transatlanticism is their best album, then you will like Plans.

[6Stringer]

The only DCFC album I own is We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes, it's a good album.

Today I listened to Of Montreal - Cherry Peel

[Luxor]

I'm listening to Pedro The Lion for the first time in a long time. They're pretty good.

[JonM]

I saw Pedro open for Death Cab. I liked them. I liked them both, actually, but this was back before Plans came out.

[YDload]

HUM- Downward is Heavenward

This is undoubtedly the best modern rock album from the late 90s that there is. I mean, it's certainly good, but what else from that genre could beat it? Creed?! Gimme a break.

[Happymeal]

Lilys
Circulatory System
Wire
Deathspell Omega

[-Katie-]

I've really been getting into Pink Floyd lately. It sounds so lame, but even though they've been around for ages, I never really got into them until now. But they're incredible.

[The Great Decay]

Bob Dylan
Simon & Garfunkel
Neutral Milk Hotel
Nick Drake
Sage Francis

[Luxor]

I saw Pedro open for Death Cab. I liked them. I liked them both, actually, but this was back before Plans came out.
That would be a really good show. Nice and mellow. I just saw DC a couple weeks ago, but this band Youthgroup opened for them. They weren't bad, but Pedro would have been muuuch better.

[BillCosby]

My English teacher was playing Plans in class today. It didn't do anything for me.

I've been diggin:
Explosions in the Sky
Weezer

[Daniel!]

That Guy Who Plays Guitar for RHCP - Curtains

[Little Man being Erased]

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
Interpol - Turn on the Bright Lights

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain

[Robert Crumb]

Robert Wyatt - Rock Bottom

[Little Man being Erased]

Nada Surf - Let Go
Weezer - Pinkerton

[br3ad_man]

I will check out Plans.

Luxor, Youth Group are an Aussie band, pretty cool imo.

[Bukowski]

Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today
The Replacements - Tim
Lagwagon - Resolve
Nas - Illmatic

[Luxor]

I will check out Plans.

Luxor, Youth Group are an Aussie band, pretty cool imo.
They had some catchy tracks. One of them I think I've actually heard before as well, I don't know where though. Not interesting enough for me to get an album, though.
