What I've Been Digging Lately

[br3ad_man]

I like you

[still_ur_heart]

I have listened to Switchfoot an awful lot and I really like "Twenty Four", "Let That Be Enough" and "The Beautiful Letdown" and of course "Meant To Live" but since i've fallen asleep to them every night for the past 2 weeks, I'd really like my Orange Co. soundtrack back and my Alt. Nation burned CD back....both of which my dad totally stole from me. My Alt. Nation CD is AWESOME cause it has wicked a** songs on it. I just named it that after my Sirius station cause I couldnt think of any other names...:(

...Really?

Ennio Morricone has been pleasing my ears. He's a genius.

I've also been getting back into Elliot Smith after hearing Angeles while watching The Girl Next Door. He was really something wasn't he!

[Tangy zizzle]

Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

That song is so good.

[Tapeworm]

Hah, I had a feeling you would reply to that Bread. I love that song.

Hey Tang, was the movie good?

[Happymeal]

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

Being a third-worlder sucks sometimes.:lol: I'll check 'em out thanks!

Just curious.. What the heck happened to the Tapeworm(project)??? Haven't heard of them since "Vacant"(and that one was live,right?)..Speaking of live..I thought A Perfect Circle's cover of The Cure's "Love Song"(entitled "Diary Of A Madman", I'm sure most of you know about it) was great, it's a shame they didn't record it..I only had the live version:(

[mad_fer_it]

I've fallen in love with Muse the past month, really enjoying their latest album Absolution. Also Keane, Snow Patrol, Razorlight are tickling my fancy. And a band called The Scruffs from Glasgow, they're unsigned but really popular. Their songs are some of the best I've heard from a new band.

[still_ur_heart]

That song is so good.

Oh Definately Br3ad!! That song rocks the world lol. :thumb:

[Iai]

I've fallen in love with this band called The Honeymoon, after just one song. It's called Reconcile. They're a male/female duo, one from Iceland, and one from England.

By the way, still_ur_heart has the best avatar on the whole site. :thumb:

[Jellyspoon]

^I have heard that song on the HMV playlist CD I got. I don't like it much though, it seems poser-ish :(

[still_ur_heart]

By the way, still_ur_heart has the best avatar on the whole site. :thumb:

Heeeeey! thanks, yo haha. The truth is, that is me on the set of A** Happy Hippo's. I played the Gay Purple one. hahahaha. ohh man, wooooo... Iai, you rock my face off!

[still_ur_heart]

by the way, im not really a gay purple hippo. im quite straight...and caucasian?...

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to Death Cab For Cutie now. What a fantastic band.

[clown_phobia]

Reverse The Curse by Higher Zenith. Good Stuff.

The Tapeworm project "disbanded". They were never really a proper band, but the songs that they had worked on were deleted by Trent, as he saw not much promise in them. He says that he and Maynard will work together again one day. The song "Vacant" was performed by APC.

My title of that song is "Diary of a Lovesong", as the verses are from Ozzy's "Diary of a Madman" and the chorus from "Lovesong". Cool stuff though, they wouldn't record covers. They tend to be incredibly serious in the studio, and very lighthearted on the stage.

[Jimmy_The_Exploder]

I've been listening to Interpol a lot recently, in eager anticipation of their new album (anyone heard their new song 'slow hands' - brilliant).

Also been listening to The White Stripes in readiness for the Leeds festival.

Others that have been on rotation include:

The Grey Album - DJ Dangermouse
The Futureheads - The Futureheads
Com Lag 2+2=5 - Radiohead
Some Frank Sinatra compilations
05/03 - 22-20s
The Lost Riots - Hope of The States
BRMC - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (an album you can always go back to :p )
And of course all the Beastie Boys albums i own :D

Thanks for clearing things up. I used to burn cd's from my classmate the past few years, and sometimes get mixed up with song titles and stuff and I just recently began using the internet*regularly* a few months ago(the cons of being poor..), it's a hard life.:p I wish APC could do an album full of covers, that'd be awesome(but as you said, they probably won't).

Anyone here from Ontario? I've been wanting to buy Denali-The Instinct for some time now, I can't find it anywhere.

[Little Man being Erased]

I've been listening to Interpol a lot recently, in eager anticipation of their new album (anyone heard their new song 'slow hands' - brilliant).

AWESOME!!! I can't wait for that album. Only about another month now. Yahoo!!! I haven't heard that new song yet... ****.

[Luxor]

AWESOME!!! I can't wait for that album. Only about another month now. Yahoo!!! I haven't heard that new song yet... ****.

I'm pretty sure that album has already been out for a while here in Canada... sucks for you. :p

[Little Man being Erased]

That's ****ed up. Suck's for me alright.

i'm also gonna see the stills, razorlight, milo and t(i)nc.

to anyone else going to reading, HAVE FUN!

[OrbDragon]

The Pixies' 'Trompe Le Monde' has caught my attention lately...I like it better than Surfer Rosa.

[Tapeworm]

Nice ones, Ihate.

I've been listening to Dredg's "El Eielo", and my two Cog EPs. Very similar bands.

[Tomahawk]

The flavour of the day is Smashing Pumpkins.

I've also been partaking in a bit of the ol' Jeff Buckley, and I'm liking Gyroscope right now.

[Happymeal]

Right now I like Matthew Good Band-The Rat Who Would Be King, Cowboy Junkies-Thousand Year Prayer and Everything But The Girl-No Difference..just borrowed some cd's from the library yesterday.

[GongTaxi]

Olivia Tremor control.

I just got Black Foliage the stuff they do on that is amazing.

[OneLastCaress1977]

Alkaline Trio - My Friend Peter (and the whole self titled album)
Flogging Molly - Rebels of the Sacred Heart
Faith No More - Any song on The Real Thing

[clown_phobia]

Pearl Jam - Ten

[Sonic_Reducer]

lately for me it's all about Television. i think there one of the best american bands of all time. they're like the talking heads just less danceable and with amazing guitar playing. anyone interested should get these

Marquee Moon
Friction
Prove It
Little Johnny Jewel

[ElectricUFO]

The Raveonettes
The Doors
The New Pornographers

[Interstate]

Pavement
Neutral Milk Hotel
The Smiths

I've been trying to get into these bands a bit more lately and i'm liking what i've heard

[thewalrus81]

somebody mentioned them earlier but i bought eisleys first ep, laughing city, and have listened to it over and over and over. they have another ep out top, i havent listened to it but ive heard its pretty **** good too. man i cant wait till they release a full length cd

[OrbDragon]

^^^
Motorpsycho might just be a band you'd like, Nach...they are from Norway. Very experimental at times, definately influenced by Floyd, but also by Sonic Youth and The Cure. It's a really schizophrenic band...they can be really mellow...but also really fncked up and chaotic too. Their best album is called "Timothy's Monster".

[Well_Respected_Man]

I just listened to Fiery Furnaces for the first time. Their new album BlueBerry Boat has high ratings from critics but a quick glance at amazon shows a mixed respone. It'a love it or hate it album. I personally love the cool sounds and complex structures. I think I will really like this band

[KazooVirtuoso]

I've been diggin' the songs I've downloaded by Hot Club of Cowtown, but I'm having a hell of a time finding any more songs.

They're neat, sort of an old-school swing/jazz/country kind of thing. I'm diggin' the groovy guitar style.

Best album of the year methinks.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Best album of the year methinks.
I've heard Paw Paw Tree and now listening to Blueberry Boat, This is my type of music. :cool:

[TuesdaysWithMorrie]

My friend found this band out and they arnt that bad. THE SNAKE THE CROWN THE CROSS. Check them out. Its like an emo band with actual song writing capabilities.

[asymm]

Best album of the year methinks.
If anything tops Blueberry Boat(which I doubt), it will have to be mindblowing...

[Happymeal]

My friend found this band out and they arnt that bad. THE SNAKE THE CROWN THE CROSS. Check them out. Its like an emo band with actual song writing capabilities.

I heard of them a few months ago..they're ok. Better than every other cookie-cutter bands breaking out right now I'd say.

Tori Amos-Gold Dust, Muse-Hate This And I'll Love you, Bjork-Play Dead, Rival Schools-Used For Glue

[Tapeworm]

I've been listening to Jeff Buckley's "Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk". Brilliant.

I just reviewed it too

ADVERTISING!!!

[Syncope]

this is the indie area so ive been listening to sparta and co & ca and murder city devils

[Tangy zizzle]

The Devils own everything!

I like you!

[Luxor]

I saw Broken Social Scene tonight, they're really good live... You should download some songs if you haven't heard any.

*Points to user title*, Cause = Time is a really good song of theirs.

P.S - The lead singer of Metric is a member, just thought I'd say that because I know theres some fans.

[Tangy zizzle]

Today I got.

The Icarus Line - Penance Soiree
dEUS - In A Bar Under The Sea
Nirvana - Bleach

They're all quite good. In A Bar Under The Sea is definately one of the most musically mixed-up albums I've ever heard.

[br3ad_man]

Today I got:

Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue
The Definitive Simon and Garfunkel

Good stuff.

I listened to Amnesiac the other night and was reminded of it's greatness...It's very close to being my favourite Radiohead album.

[BuddyBigsby]

I'm on a major These Arms are Snakes trip.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm on a major These Arms are Snakes trip.

Dat's right F00!

[Happymeal]

Can anyone recommend me some Rival Schools and/or Vendetta Red?? They've been striking my fancy for a while now, but I don't know where to start..is United By Fate worth it??

/addicted to DJ Shadow-Midnight In A Perfect World and Air-Playground Love

Oh, and what's a good first Air cd? Moon Safari?

[<3<3<3]

I've been listening to Mum. They're a cool "chill music" band from Iceland. It's has a lot of electronic instruments and other things. You should check them out if you haven't.

[Tapeworm]

I've actually been listening to Coheed a lot lately, along with the second disc of Sketches for my Sweetheart the Drunk.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Oh, and what's a good first Air cd? Moon Safari?

that's just a great cd in general, but also get Talkie Walkie and if you want something a bit more edgy and experimental get 10000Mhz Legend, its takes some getting used to but its well worht it...

[The Ashtray Girl]

Yes, Moon Safari is a great album, definitely worth getting.

[br3ad_man]

I keep putting off getting into Coheed and Cambria. I think I'll do it today.

[Tangy zizzle]

[still_ur_heart]

Franz Ferdinand- take me out
and its not a song, but everyone should hunt this tape out of your movie shelf: Wayne's World! IT'S PARTY TIME! EXCELLANT!! haha

[Tapeworm]

They aren't that good.

I disagree. Let us battle!

[Luxor]

I just recently got Soulseek so I've been on a download frenzy:

Interpol - Antics
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People
Slint - Spiderland

[Tangy zizzle]

Bring it on tampon!

[Tapeworm]

Battle battle battle battle battle battle.

Good work! What's your Slsk username? I've got heaps of stuff that you might like :)

[Happymeal]

I'm gonna get Slsk later too. Hehe(<--nOOb). Co&Ca in Alt/Indie?:confused:

[Dancin' Man]

I like Limewire better than slsk. Downloads seem faster and it's a bit more organzied. On slsk though, you do have the buddy list and the chats which can make it easier to find some things.

[StreetlightRock]

Anything by Slash's Snakepit... amazing stuff

DVG.

[Luxor]

Good work! What's your Slsk username? I've got heaps of stuff that you might like :)

Same as it is here.

[what's in the name]

At the moment I really love listening to a band from belgium called dEUS. It's a pop-rock (psichadellyca) band. Maybe you know them if you live in europe you. And if you're living in Belgium and you don't know them, maybe the name Tom Barman ring's a bell. But anyway I really love the song roses, it's maybe the best song I heard so......check it out.

have fun...

dEUS are the goods. Good to see some people liking them.

[gatto_taco]

I've been gettin back into listening to alot of alternative lately.

The Replacements
The Pixies
Dinosaur Jr.
Captain Beefheart
Grandaddy
The Verve
Weezer (always liked them though)
Phish

ditto to all of those... good taste, man

[Tapeworm]

I is been kickin it with the two Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds albums I got from the library today. I managed to get "Nocturama" and "The Boatman's Call". They are both absolutely brilliant.

I also bought SFK's "The Official Fiction" today, after hiring it outloads of times.

[Happymeal]

I really like Braid's "Consolation Prizefighter". It's the first I heard from them, they're really something.. Pretty Girls Make Graves' "All Medicated Geniuses" got me hooked too.

[asymm]

The Icarus Line - Penance Soiree
Excellent balls-to-the-walls rock album

[gReeNieb]

Lately I've been listening to Marcy Playground although I'm not to sure why

some good tunes:
one more suicide
love bug
poppies
opium
St. joe on the school bus
a cloak of elvenkind
ancient walls of flowers
shadow of seattle


also I would recommend to check out the decemberists any song will do really

[Luxor]

I downloaded Nick Drake - Pink Moon tonight, and I'm currently in the midst of getting The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow. :thumb:

[Tangy zizzle]

Excellent balls-to-the-walls rock album

****in A!

[Polyhymnia]

I've been listening to Elliot Smith alot.

And Orbital.

But I'm sure everyone knows who they all are.

[Happymeal]

Arab Strap-Love Detective, Les Savy Fav-Je Taime and Portishead-Wandering Star are really tickling me ears right now. + I listened to some Rainer Maria, Artificial Light is a very nice song. They sound a bit like Death Cab For Cutie *cough br3ad cough cough*

[Happymeal]

Arab Strap sounds like a Tangy kinda band.:p I'm really loving it right now. Two Ton Shoe-Shadows fo' tha' funk.

[teklabz]

Been listening to Ween, Modest Mouse, No Quarter (Page and Plant), squirell nut zippers, lo fi allstars, the monotone drone of a professor or two.

[Tangy zizzle]

Arab Strap sounds like a Tangy kinda band.:p I'm really loving it right now. Two Ton Shoe-Shadows fo' tha' funk.

I shall check them out.

[Happymeal]

Actually I just found them out yesterday when I was random-band browsing on epitonic.com. You gotta love the accent on "Love Detective". Hehe!

[grow]

Pluto - Film.

Brilliant song.

[KazooVirtuoso]

I still don't have all the songs yet (**** dial-up), but Isis - Panopticon is totally rockin'.

Have I ever said how I love leaks?

[Tangy zizzle]

Not cool! Not even I have gone and got the leak of Panopticon!

Shame on you.

[KazooVirtuoso]

Not cool! Not even I have gone and got the leak of Panopticon!

Shame on you.

No, shame on you. Any self-respecting Isis fan should have it by now.

I'm missing about 2 songs worth of self-respect though, so I can't exactly talk.

[Luxor]

I baught the Jeff Buckley - Grace (Legacy Edition) album today. It set me back about $40 but it's worth it. I still haven't gotten around to watching the DVD yet though, I hope it's good.

[br3ad_man]

You bought it (:p) that's awesome, I so badly want it!!!

[Little Man being Erased]

^^^^ Is that out in Australia yet? If it's not, when does it come out?

[br3ad_man]

I haven't seen it yet...I'll try to find out when it is released.

[br3ad_man]

September 13th my friend.

[clown_phobia]

$40?! Holy crap..I wonder if I'll ever be able to buy that soon.:upset: School starts in 5 days!!! But that's +$5 in my allowance. I'm still wondering what to buy next though.. Transatlanticism?? Burn Piano Island, Burn?? Live at Sin-e?? United By Fate?? :confused: Only a few days before You Fail Me comes out..*drool* so many choices..

[Tapeworm]

Live at Sin-e. You know you want it. I think he meant $40 Australian too, I hope.

Live at Sin-e!!!!!!!

[Happymeal]

Wait, IhUn's from Canada..so it must be $40 Canadian..

Hm..Live at Sin-e's $30+ here, heh, but why not. I'm in the mood for some Jeff Buckley these days anyway, Mr. I-love-Jeff Buckley.:lol: I'm gonna buy it the week after next, 'cause I don't have the cash right now.:p I'm really looking forward to it.:D *droool*

[Tapeworm]

Hah, I totally forgot/didn't know he was from Canada. $40 man, that's insane!

[Luxor]

It was $32.99 Canadian + tax.

[Happymeal]

Most non-Canadian made cd's are so expensive..:upset: And to think I bought both Further Seems Forever cd's for $28.99 + tax each..argh! My dad bought almost 50 in a week last month. He's crazy.:p I hope Live At Sin-e's worth it! I can't wait.:D

[Jellyspoon]

I finally got Oceanic by isis today, it arrived at my local HMV today.

I have been listening to a band I heard on Peel called Monkey Island, they are good when quirky.

I know, it's horrible. I never buy the CD's that are that expensive, I just download them.

About Live At Sin-e, I'm sure it's just as expensive as Grace (Legacy Edition), I don't think it's that good of a deal.

[CommieCanada]

i am really listening to a lot of Alexisonfire

[Luxor]

The new album's decent, quite different from the first.

Ribbed by NOFX
Nevermind by Nirvana

[Tomahawk]

Now digging: A Perfect Circle

I hope Live At Sin-e's worth it! I can't wait.:D
Live at Sin-e is definitely worth it. It's as good as "Grace".

I am grown to very fond of The Fiery Furnces, whose first cd Gallowsbird's park is a great combination of energy and experimentation.

You and Tangy should be able to get along very well.:thumb: haha.

Ahh.. I began listening to my Vapor Trails again yesterday.. Although I'm not really that knowledgable about Rush. Is it better or worse than older Rush albums? I love "Freeze" and "Sweet Miracle". I just notice there's less riffing and solos and stuff..

[The Ashtray Girl]

The Fiery Furnaces are awesome.

[Tapeworm]

Indeed they are, I am still looking for either of their albums.

Does anyone think that Gallowsbird's Park is better than Blueberry Boat? Cause they have one of them at my local cd store, and I can't even remember which one it is come to think of it.

[biografiend]

i havent heard gallowsbird's park, but blueberry boat is wonderful.
ive been listening to the faint alot, are there any good bands similar to them?

[Dreamer]

Lately I've been listening to Xiu Xiu... very very good band... also, a good Canadian band, The Unicorns, have an awesome new album out. :)

Blueberry Boat > Gallowsbird's Bark. No contest.

[cbmartinez]

I'm totally digging that Killers song, "Somebody Told Me."

[Jellyspoon]

I think 'Mr. Brightside' is miles better than 'somebody told me'

i heard 'bitter Cold' by Supermachiner, and really like it, has anyone else heard their stuff? it's a Converge side-project essentially. Is it any good?

[The Ashtray Girl]

Blueberry Boat > Gallowsbird's Bark. No contest.

It got a crap write up in the paper yesterday though. Not that I trust such things, but what do you think they didn't like?

[asymm]

Picked up these LPs yesterday and I've been digging them:

Guided By Voices - "Half Smiles of the Decomposed"
Mclusky - "The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire"
Black Dice - "Creature Comforts"

and I'm still ****ing digging Blueberry Boat... I've been digging it since I bought it on it's release date (July 13).. PLUS! I'm seeing them live this Friday in Chicago...

[Luxor]

I've basically been rotating between Elliot Smith - Either/Or and Jeff Buckley - Grace (Legacy Edirion).

So much talk about Blueberry Boat... I don't even know what band that is. :confused:

So much talk about Blueberry Boat... I don't even know what band that is. :confused:

That was me last week except I don't have the Legacy edition :upset:

I'm really loving The Polyphonic Spree

[AndreTheHyena]

Murder By ****ing Death

album: Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them

[Iai]

The Format - Tune Out. Kinda Beatles-meets-Counting Crows. I'm loving it.

[Tangy zizzle]

Picked up these LPs yesterday and I've been digging them:

Guided By Voices - "Half Smiles of the Decomposed"
Mclusky - "The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire"
Black Dice - "Creature Comforts"

and I'm still ****ing digging Blueberry Boat... I've been digging it since I bought it on it's release date (July 13).. PLUS! I'm seeing them live this Friday in Chicago...

mclusky = :thumb:

I hate you! You get to see Fiery Furnaces live! I hope you have fun man.

[Happymeal]

Liquid Tension Experiment 2 is so beautiful.. I just bought it a while ago:p I've been thinking about picking up Medulla. Is it any good??

[br3ad_man]

I've downloaded it and I really like it.

[Happymeal]

I think I'll just download it too.. I really have to save for Live At Sin-e.. The cheapest here is $32.99..darn

[br3ad_man]

Yeah, I don't think I'd buy it. I'll listen to it a few more times and then probably delete it,

[Happymeal]

Even if I go on cd shopping sprees every once in a while, I wouldn't buy cd's I won't listen to for a long time even if people tell me they're good(and they're pretty expensive too). Besides, I love mix tape cd's(if there's such a thing).. hehe.. I'm really enjoying Kind Of Like Spitting's Nothing Makes Sense Without It.. It's a very "can relate to" album, and you probably won't like it if you're not a bit sappy like me.:p

[Luxor]

Band: The Fiery Furnaces
Album: Blueberry Boat

Thanks, I'll have to look into that.

EDIT: Haha, Br3ad man, look at this. This is me and my girlfriend talking on MSN.

:upset:

:lol: your girlfriend sounds cool. Rachel > all other female names


I'm really digging "Amnesiac" today. I think it might overtake Kid A as my favourite album ever some day.

[Tomahawk]

TV on the Radio are making sweet love to my ears with their album "Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes". It's mega-awesome. Everybody should buy it. Right now.

[Tangy zizzle]

yeah... quality over here too *sheepishly runs*

You need to post here more often asymm. You have like the best taste on thisw board.

[Zappa]

I just got "The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads," a killer 2-CD live album. Over 2 and a half hours of the band playing live in '77, '78, '79, '80, and '81. It's amazing stuff.

I also just got Mike Watt's "The Secondman's Middle Stand" which is an incredible album.

I highly recommend both.

[Tangy zizzle]

Is that the new Mike Watt? I really wanna hear it. What's it like?

[Zappa]

It's got a lot of elements of progressive rock. The instrumentation is just bass, drums, b3 organ, and voice, so that should give you an idea of what the overall timbre of the recording is. The bass occasionally sounds like a guitar. The songs are basically all great, with memorable melodies and interesting instrumental parts parts surrounding them.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'll give it a listen. Sounds nice.

[biografiend]

british sea power have grown on me. great band.

[Tapeworm]

So, someone just sent me Zombie by The Cranberries over Litnin's new multimedia sharing system, and I was blown away by it. Is any of their other stuff good, and can you guys reccomend me some? Thanks.
Most of The Cranberries stuff is incredibly good, I've been meaning to buy an album for a while. I can't really recommend anything particular though..

[limemachine]

Definitely lots of Brand New's first album,Queen, and a lot of Bright Eyes stuff (Conner Oberst is an amazing writer)

[br3ad_man]

I'm obessed with Sigur Ros' "()". I haven't heard an album is beautiful since....never.

[Happymeal]

I'm new to Sigur Ros. Is Staralfur on ( )? If it is I'm gonna buy it sometime. It's cheap here too!

I'm prog tripping right now. Rush's Vapor Trails and LTE's 2 are so addicting. If I can only find Australasia somewhere here..

[Tapeworm]

Wow. I just got Missy Higgins' "The Sound of White". Wow!

[Tapeworm]

I also reviewed Ryan Adams' "Love is Hell" last night, check it the heck out!

[Happymeal]

I'll give Missy Higgins a listen since I'm kinda in a slump right now.. Nothing I listen to right now turns me on.. Hope she's as good as you say it is.:) Anyone here know The Kings Of Convenience?? My friend got me curious..

[Tapeworm]

Rad. The Kings Of Convenience are awesome. :thumb:

(not as good as Missy).

[SalomeHigher]

i've been digging the melvins lately.

[Happymeal]

I knew you'd say that Tapeworm.:p I'll check out both if I have the time, school's starting tomorrow!!!

I just downloaded the whole The Fall Of Troy self titled album, and holy crap it's so good. Anyone who likes At The Drive-In made more technical and 10x louder(okay, maybe not that loud) should listen to them.

[br3ad_man]

^^^
All of the tracks on () are untitled...but it's so good.

i've been digging the melvins lately.

Good work. :thumb:

[biografiend]

both sigur ros albums cost $21 apiece here, and i want them so bad, but i dont have the money. i do have them downloaded, though, and they both are amazing.

[sink sink]

I've been listening to Elliott Smith, and I wonder why I didn't get into him sooner.

And I've been listening to Can.

[Zappa]

You're cool, sink sink.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've been listening to Elliott Smith, and I wonder why I didn't get into him sooner.

And I've been listening to Can.

Yeh I just got Missy Higgin's album "The sound of white" and as Tapeworm said in not so many words, it is sooooo bloody good.

[br3ad_man]

You're lucky, they're at least 30 over here. I'm so getting one in a couple of weeks though

[incubliss]

i know what you mean, the album cover and art is awesome, it looks so simple, yet awesome.

they are £16 a piece here, and i can't afford it.

It's always the same bands. You said you listening to different music... try actually listening to some!! Changing which Metallica album you like is not expanding your horizons.

[Happymeal]

Moonshine by Feeder got me hooked again!! I'm listening to Bush again too.

[biografiend]

i know what you mean, the album cover and art is awesome, it looks so simple, yet awesome.

yes. the only reason i want the album is so i can see the art. if it didnt look so damn amazing then i would just stick to my cd i downloaded from the interweb.

[libertine2020]

The new s/t Libertines album, which at first I didn't like but it sort of grew on me. The Futureheads' debut album is also excellent, every track is good. I also like a few random emo songs by bands like Finch and The Used, but not enough to buy an album. The demo version of Greener With The Scenery by The Used is pretty awesome.

I've been a lo-fi pop junkie latley, mostly bands from the Elephant 6 label like Olivia Tremor Control, Circulatory System and Apples in Stereo. I've also jsut gotten into Royal Trux.

If you haven't gotten to them yet, definitely Of Montreal. One of the most consistant bands in the collective in my opinion. Also, Summer Hymns; check out "Something's Going On" and a few other selected tracks on their site here (http://www.summerhymns.com/releases.html).

A lot of neo-psychedelic bands are pretty hit-and-miss for me, even some of the E6 stuff. dios, now dios malo thanks to Ronnie James Dio, does real good psychedelic-folk-pop I guess it might be called. I try to recommend them as much as possible :). The stuff I've heard by From Bubblegum To Sky has been pretty good, I'd recommend checking out "Operation Big Beat", which I swear I've heard in a commercial recently.

My top five bands at the moment, according to Winamp:

OutKast
The Zombies
Bauhaus
Neutral Milk Hotel
Yo La Tengo

[Zmev]

My bloody Valentine

[br3ad_man]

That's right bitch!

:lol:

Hot Snakes are a great band. Cool name too.

I'm listening to My Bloody Valentine, but I'm going to start myself on a Muse kick...I've only got 3 days until their gig.

[Happymeal]

I'm really loving HORSE the band right now(a bit out of place here though). Super-hilarious and super-cool.

I can't find Origin Of Symmetry anywhere here. I still think it's better than Absolution..

I'm gonna try and find more Pinback songs too.

[live_by_rock]

Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out,
Matinee,
Micheal.
Blink 182 - Down,
Feelin This.

Placebo,
The Killers,
Muse.

Mostly well known bands, but all their recent songs r ace n great 2 listen 2.

[Tapeworm]

can you buy an a, e, a, d, t, o?

[Jayblls]

rediscovering al the old classics like led zepplin, iron maiden and other old rock bands.

But lately i've really got into the Pixies i cant beleive i've never really listened to them before. the first song i heard by them was 'where is my mind' i heard it right at the end of fight club and couldnt get it out of my head for months but have only now really started to listen to other Pixies stuff.

bloody brilliant :thumb:

[Luxor]

I'm going to see Jack Johnson tomorrow night, just thought I'd ask to see if anyones heard of him. I think he's alright, I'm only going because my girlfriend likes him, and I'm a tool....

[Well_Respected_Man]

Jack Johnson is actually pretty fun. My brother is a huge fan of his, I've heard some of his songs that were rather catchy.

[Tangy zizzle]

All of Jack Johnson's songs are catchy. That's all he can write. Redundant camp-fire songs are his specialty.

[Tapeworm]

Yeah, Jack Johnson is really big in Australia. It gets real boring real quick for me.

[Tomahawk]

Meh, Jack Johnson is ok. "Flake" is a good song. But yeah, "camp-fire songs" is a pretty accurate description.

[Tapeworm]

WAHOOOOOO!!!!!!!! Tangy's thread has reached 1000 replies!!!

[folsom_god]

ive been listenin to 3 bands lately all i saw at the boardwalk (sacramento cali)

1)lola ray: some songs are automatic girl, shes a tiger, our brown friends. the album/EP is I Dont Know You

2)pepper: a sweet band that sounds like sublime kinda but not live and songs are boot, stone love, tongues and dirty hot sex all off of the album kona town (their hawaiin n stuff)

3)THAT NEW SUM 41 SONG i hate sum 41 but this new song blows me away its all metal and stuff ya its we're all to blame if you havent heard it yet

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm getting very into lots of acoustic people like Ryan Adams, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake - all very good stuff.

[Tomahawk]

I'm kinda trying to get into jazz right now. I'm really liking John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme".

[Happymeal]

^I've been wanting to get into jazz these days. I'll check Coltrane out. Jaco Pastorius/Weather Report as well.

Whoo.. I just finished my first album review(The Fall Of Troy's self titled).. took me long enough.:p

[Tapeworm]

I'm getting very into lots of acoustic people like Ryan Adams, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake - all very good stuff.

You = the best.

[Luxor]

Yeah, Jack Johnson was alright. I only like "Flake" "Cupid" and "Bubbletoes", the rest of the songs are extremely boring. I had never heard of the 2 opening bands; G-Love and Donovon Frankenreader (I think?). I dunno, I don't even care what their names were, they both sucked.

Basically it was the only concert I've ever been too where I was so bored I wanted to go home, but, I went for my girlfriend... And she had a good time, so it's all good. :thumb:

[Tapeworm]

Eh, I used to dig some of G-Love's stuff. My favourite JJ song is Bubbletoes. :thumb:

[theicecreamman]

I like Flake and Horizon has been defeated, but I don't like Bubbletoes.

Everyone should check out They Might Be Giants. Everything off of "Mink Car" is great. Esp. Cyclops Rock, I've Got a Fang, and She Thinks She's Edith Head.

I also really dig that new band Skindred. (I think it's pronounces like "kindred" with an S at the beginning). That song "Nobody" is quite good.

[Tangy zizzle]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads Has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

[Liberi]

Lately I've really been digging Soweto String Quartet, especially their work on the Zebra Crossing album.

[Little Man being Erased]

I've been getting heavily back into Ryan Adams' "Love is Hell". It's really bloody awesome stuff. I think I'm actually nearly liking it more than "Gold"... but maybe not.

[Tapeworm]

I think it is much better than "Gold". I love it.

I've been listening constantly to: Missy Higgins, Coheed and Cambria, and Something For Kate.

[Well_Respected_Man]

My favorite bands this week are:

Royal Trux
Apples In Sterow
The Fiery Furnaces

[hollywood_bitch]

recently I've been looking back at some 80s classics. Joy Division, The Smiths, and the like...fantastic stuff

dude, are you trying to depress yourself enuff to kill yourself??!!!

[Happymeal]

I'm listening to my Jade Tree comp. again. Girls Against Boys + Denali(<3)

[The Ashtray Girl]

Getting majorly into Eve 6 - wahoo! I am also currently reviewing Horrorscope, expect it to be posted by the end of the evening. Gotta love self-advertising.

The Spill Canvas is a band that has been introduced to me by Jon (bleedthesky) and i must say it is some of the most enjoyable acoustic stuff i have listened to in a long while

[Happymeal]

^I discovered The Spill Canvas on smartpunk and they're ok. Haven't heard much stuff about them though.

I'm random-band browsing on epitonic, and Low and The Swans have caught my attention..

[Happymeal]

Now I'm liking Blonde Redhead-Misery Is A Butterfly, great song. I'll be researching about them the next few days. *delighted*

[DavidBowieWasHere]

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.
TELEVISION'S AWESOME! But no, haven't been listening to them! *LOL*

I've rediscovered a great band called Toad the Wet Sprocket. Listening to the album Fear. Also, Carlos Santana and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin's Love, Devotion, Surrender. Great stuff there, too.

[Tomahawk]

I'm loving Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds right now. Got their best of today, it's tasty.

Also digging Missy Higgins. I got her CD today, it's delicious.

[Tapeworm]

Woah man, those are the two artists I've been digging today.

I'm also currently spinning the "Lost in Translation" soundtrack. Best soundtrack ever.

[Luxor]

why dont you listen to them again before u go dissing them. you only heard them at a show. donavon blows jack out of the water.

Only heard them at a show? Yeah, he played for 45 minutes. I'm pretty sure I got a decent idea of what he's like... boring.

[br3ad_man]

I've been liking The Bends lately. I'm trying to listen to more guitar music, I'm getting over electronica a bit.
