What I've Been Digging Lately

[el doctor]

Is that an MSN account?

[Wanker]

Nah, its my email address. Transferring files on an instant messenger service doesn't work outside of my school network.

[el doctor]

Oh, I didn't even realize yahoo actually has webspace now.

Ooops, I thought you were gonna YSI it.

Well that would make more sense. I'm glad one of us is actually thinking. :o

If you want something from there, ask for it.

Galaxie 500 - On Fire
Solomon Burke - Don't Give Up On Me
Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription

[The NPC]

Galaxie 500 - On Fire
Solomon Burke - Don't Give Up On Me
Spacemen 3 - The Perfect Prescription

That album makes me happy for some reason.

[Zappa]

My avatar says I'm digging Neu!, and who am I to argue?

Seriously, they're unbelievably good.

[Dog]

I only have their first s/t, but it sure is a doozy.

edit- to zappa

[Zappa]

I only like their first s/t, but that one album sure is a doozy.

So far, that is turning out to be my least favorite. Neu! '75 I am listening to now for the first time, and it's really incredible. Especially the first half is intensely moving stuff, and the rest is really energetic and excellent as well. I love all three of their albums, though.

[el doctor]

I need some krautrock t-shirts. My pseudo-intellectual image would be complete if I could wear "Neu!" across my chest.

Dressy Bessy - Pink Hearts Yellow Moons
John Cale - Paris 1919

[Luxor]

Today:

Explosions In The Sky
Joshua Fit For Battle
Saetia
QOTSA
Sufjan Stevens
Modern Life Is War

Not that different from recent days...

[Little Man being Erased]

Today:

The Decemberists - Picaresque
Antony and the Johnsons - I Am a Bird Now
The Smiths - The Smiths
The Smiths - Meat is Murder
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead

Uh oh, I think I'm turning into a Smiths fanboy. I need more.

[morrissey]

yay!

I've been digging the same old crap. I have been listening to some French music thanks to last.fm, I'm only starting to get familiar with a couple artists (I really like Serge Gainsbourg from the little I've heard) but I think I'll enjoy this style.

edit: and Brigitte Fontaine

[The NPC]

fIREHOSE all day.

[Swami]

fIREHOSE are pretty average.

I listened to Flipper all afternoon, it was kinda cool.

Other diggage today:

Sonny Rollins
The Dictators
Television
The Wipers
The Bronx (man, I love these guys)

[JonM]

You guys may like your fIREHOSE, but I'm currently diggin a different band with inverted capitalization: cLOUDDEAD. They're WEIRD, man. People call it hip hop, which it's definitely not, or at least not entirely. It's a lot more like The Books and Animal Collective and the more ambient Microphones tracks, but there is a little rapping in there, I guess. Anyway, they're cool. Give 'em a shot.

[Daniel!]

I've been listening to NoMeansNo - Wrong all day. I just put on Lou Reed - Transformer and I'm enjoying it too.

[asymm]

Listened to Danger Doom and a few Guided By Voices EPs during sculpture today.

Later I watched Ingmar Bergman's film, Wild Strawberries. It was delicate, melancholy and put me into a distinct mood. So I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed Vashti Bunyan - Lookaftering and The Clientele's Strange Geometry.

No way. Their SST releases are ace.

[Zappa]

I need some krautrock t-shirts. My pseudo-intellectual image would be complete if I could wear "Neu!" across my chest.



I definitely feel the same. It would be an easy one to make, though.

[br3ad_man]

Nice avatar Alex.

[Iai]

Dredg - El Cielo. After so much hype, that's it?!

Also, Martin Grech - Unholy, Morphine - Cure For Pain, and a buttload of MSP. Oh yeah, and the new Darkness record.

[Luxor]

Dredg - El Cielo. After so much hype, that's it?!
Hahah, yeah man.

I felt the same way first time I listened to Dredg. They're... ok.

[Iai]

I'm just glad I heard Catch Without Arms before the rest of their stuff.

[ATM]

Prauge Rock

[Happymeal]

Bouncing Souls
Death Comet Crew
Buzzcocks - Peel Sessions

It goes:

Explosions in the Sky - Day One
Air - Surfing On A Rocket
Radiohead - Nice Dream
Exhaust - Wool Dub Fever
Death From Above 1979 - Pull Out

[Interstate]

Lemar - Time To Grow
Drive By Jehu - Yank Crime

[Little Man being Erased]

the new Darkness record.
What's it like? Average as hell, I bet.





Oh yeah, I'm diggin' Billy Bragg, The Decemberists and The Smiths.

[asymm]

Jens Lekman
I've only heard his debut, but it's fantastic. A very interesting and unique indie pop.

Today:
Galaxie 500 - Today
Robert Pollard - Motel of Fools

[pixiesfanyo]

Dredg - El Cielo. After so much hype, that's it?!



It grows on you.

Alot.

Like any progressive rock record.

[asdf]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads

What a great album. Sadly, I only have it on tape.

[Bartender]

Solomon Burke - Don't Give Up On Me

What do you think of it?

[BillCosby]

QOTSA - SFTD

A few mp3s by The Paper Chase and Les Savy Fav.

[Well_Respected_Man]

[Little Man being Erased]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads

What a great album. Sadly, I only have it on tape.
Indeed it is. I might pop that one on a bit later.


So far today:

The Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry

[el doctor]

It grows on you.

Alot.

Like any progressive rock record.Ugh... calling that album progressive rock is an insult to the genre. Sure, there's prog influences, but to me, it's just vapid alternative rock that tries to combine tons of styles and genres without ever really succeeding at any of them.

Roxy Music - Avalon
Wilco - Summerteeth

[EightMilesHigh]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Let Love In


Sweet album, that's what got me into him/them.

I'm listening to Kanye West's latest album. I finally got it like three months after it came out. I'm slow :(

[Luxor]

That Death To False Screamo compilation is really good.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding
Black Eyes - Cough Cough

Helicopter.

[Daniel!]

Bad Brains - Black Dots
Big Youth - Ride the Lightning

[Dog]

What do you think of it?
I'm not too experienced or knowledgeable in the area of soul, but I really enjoy it. It's a solid 4/5; track highlights for me were Don't Give Up on Me, Diamond in Your Mind, and Soul Searchin'. I'd like to pick up Make Do With What You Got sometime soon.

The Decemberists - 5 Songs EP
Leonard Cohen - Songs Of Love And Hate

[pixiesfanyo]

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks




Yeah that's a bucket of kittens.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Smiths - The Smiths
Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Special Branch - Time To Go Home
Elbow - Cast of Thousands

[morrissey]

Love the avatar.

I've listened to "A Pair of Brown Eyes" far too much over the past few days.
I've also been listening to Smiths covers, I've found one or two gems but most of them are lackluster.

[Little Man being Erased]

I love your avatar.

[Daniel!]

Neu! - Neu! '75
LCD Soundsystem - LCD Soundsystem

Both are good, but nothing fantastic.

[Tangy zizzle]

A day of good tunes:

Mastodon - Remission
Can - Monster Movie
mclusky - Do Dallas
Millionare - Paradisiac
Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power

I think Swami listened to Television or some such band, but who knows.

[br3ad_man]

oh you


I've pretty much been listening to The Woods

[Robert Crumb]

Murs and Slug
Roxy Music

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think you're slowly turning into me, or perhaps I'm turning into you. I did steal liking the Manic Street Preachers from you, so...
haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy cool; I stole liking them from some guy in compensation for hating communism.

I've listened to "A Pair of Brown Eyes" far too much over the past few days.
not really

I've also been listening to Smiths covers, I've found one or two gems but most of them are lackluster.
I like Christy Moore's cover of 'America' but that's a Morrissey song so it probably sucks and what do I know

I've been listening to pop crap

[Arcarsenal Ghost]

I first heard this song on a Transworld skating video and as soon as it was over I got it on my pc.
"Wrong" by Archers Of Loaf.
It's old "indie" rock, I guess.

[Wanker]

I've been listening to a bunch of GY!BE lately (go figure) to prepare myself for a presentation on globalization and multinationals.


I'll probably be using this picture as an audio/visual aid: http://www.jaybabcock.com/mapofevilinvert.jpg

[pixiesfanyo]

The Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island Burn

[BillCosby]

lysdexia?

[BillCosby]

Super Furry Animals - Phantom Power

I've never heard them, are they good? They're playing here tonight, I wanna know if missing something special.

[EightMilesHigh]

lysdexia?

You know what they say, lysdexics have more fnu.

[Happymeal]

Neu! - Neu! '75
Nirvana - Unplugged
Phoenix
QotSA

[Zappa]

Bruce Haack

[Well_Respected_Man]

Hey Alex, I listened to the first song of that Neu album once. I thought it sucked. Am I missing some form of post punk enlightenment?

[JonM]

Yeah I don't really like them either.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm listening to The Smiths.

[Wanker]

Does Neu! sound anything like Wire?

[Wanker]

But they're post-punk?

[Wanker]

Ohh, okie dokie.

[Zappa]

Hey Alex, I listened to the first song of that Neu album once. I thought it sucked. Am I missing some form of post punk enlightenment?

You mean "Hallogallo?" It's beautiful, uplifting, mechanical, driving, subtle, and passionate. What's not to love?


And to the whole post-punk thing: if anything, they're proto-punk. Their last studio album was released in '75. They inspired the punk scene to a certain extent, and the post-punkers took on some Neu!-ish qualities quite a bit, but I would rather just separate them completely. I think of Neu!'s music as progressive rock, but it's a distinctly German strain of prog.

[Dog]

His Name Is Alive - Home Is In Your Head

[Happymeal]

Anyone heard the new Calexico?

[EightMilesHigh]

Neu is ok. Nothing that blows my mind. I prefer Kraftwerk.

Can't beat Kraftwerk.

[Little Man being Erased]

Today has consisted of the following.

The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads
The Veils - The Runaway Found
Sufjan Stevens - Hark! Songs for Christmas Vol 1
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
The Decemberists - Picaresque

I've finally given a Sufjan Stevens album a listen (well kinda). It was ok.

Picaresque really is a fantastic album. My only minor problem with it is the last song. The album would have been just a bit better if it had finished with "The Mariner's Revenge Song."

[biografiend]

M83. Lots of M83. and Efterklang, whom I want to have blippy babies with.

[EightMilesHigh]

Meat Loaf. Lots and lots of Meat Loaf.

[Happymeal]

With Iron and Wine? It's fairly solid.

I meant The Book and the Canal.

[Daniel!]

Culture - Two Sevens Clash
Junior Murvin - Police and Theives
Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Streetcore
The Strokes - Lasting Memory (a collection of live performances)

[br3ad_man]

His Name Is Alive - Home Is In Your Head

Excellent band.

[Tangy zizzle]

oh you


I've pretty much been listening to The Woods

Awesome disc that one

[Tangy zizzle]

I've never heard them, are they good? They're playing here tonight, I wanna know if missing something special.

Yeah you are missing something special.

Super Furry Animals are a band, like Flaming Lips, that make me genuinely happy when I lisaten to them. They don't really sound like the Lips, but the vibe is similar. They're Welsh, and crazy, and sun-soaked and just awesome and fun.

I love them.

[Tangy zizzle]

I think Neu! are quite a boring band indeed. They have their moments, yes, but ultimately they were just kinda awkward and "arty" for the sake of it.

[br3ad_man]

Awesome disc that one

Awesome band. I've forgotten their singer's name, but man she is amazing.

I've been listening to The Jolly Rogers/Oh No! Oh My!. Best band EVAR.

[Tangy zizzle]

Should I listen to these Jolly Rogers? You guys, esp. you Andwaaa, whore them a fair bit but I've never been inclined to give them a go? Convince me.

Oh yeah, new Calexico is pretty good. It's not amazing but it's reliable (as Calexico always are) and still quite fresh sounding. Full length should be out early '06 I think, and that looks to be a baaaadarse record.

[br3ad_man]

Well, considering you can get a copy of both of their albums for $2, I'd say they are worth the effort.

I've still only got their first one, as I am waiting for them to bring out the version with artwork of the new album. I introduced them to mx :cool:

http://www.thejollyrogers.org has mp3s. I'd reccomend, in the following order:

The Party Punch
A Walk In The Park
Oh Be One
The Pirate's Anthem
Jane Is Fat

[Tangy zizzle]

What do they sound like?

[br3ad_man]

folky indie pop

Sort of like a mix of Animal Collective and...I dunno. Their singer sounds a bit like the dude from Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, but not as over the top or ridiculous.

[Tangy zizzle]

Pfft. Sounds like hippy longhair music.

[Zappa]

I think Neu! are quite a boring band indeed. They have their moments, yes, but ultimately they were just kinda awkward and "arty" for the sake of it.

...but you like Can.

[br3ad_man]

Pfft. Sounds like hippy longhair music.

Pfft. You are a long haired hippie. From New Zealand.

[3rdplanet]

Bought Bonobo's Dial M for Monkey and I have to say it is much too much of a good thing.

[Iai]

What's it like? Average as hell, I bet.
A little better than that, but not much.

[Little Man being Erased]

A little better than that, but not much.
Yeah, I don't think I'll bother with it.

Last night and this morning I dug:

Nada Surf - Let Go
The Smiths - The Smiths
Massive Attack - Mezzanine

[el doctor]

...but you like Can.That's what I was thinking.

Ive been digging this ( http://sigur-ros.co.uk//tour/2005/20051127.php) for the past 2 hours. It can get a bit tedious at times, but it works well to keep in the background.

[asymm]

Pretty normal day.

Galaxie 500 - Today & On Fire
Guided By Voices - Fast Japanese Spin Cycle EP & I Am A Scientist EP
Food - Last Supper

[Happymeal]

[Dog]

I've been on a Decemberists kick lately. Picaresque and Her Majesty, primarily.

[Zappa]

I've been on a Decemberists kick lately. Picaresque and Her Majesty, primarily.

Sounds like me in September. Then there was Mogwai. Then Cocteau Twins, now Neu! Etc.

[br3ad_man]

The Shins
Sleater-Kinney
The Jolly Rogers

[Daniel!]

Peter Tosh - Equal Rights
Peter Tosh - Acoustic Bootleg
The Skoidats - The Times

[Dave de Sylvia]

I got some CDs from the library. I'm actually listening to them all this time, because my fast internet's broken and I can't steal anymore.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Rory Gallagher - BBC Sessions
Kila - Lemonade & Buns
Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins & Jerry Lee Lewis - Million Dollar Sessions (Johnny Cash was also at this session but left before they started recording - wow)
Slash's Snakepit - Ain't Life Grand

[Tangy zizzle]

...but you like Can.

Can run circles around anything Neu! ever put out. They had groove, and rythym and soul man, soul.

[Robert Crumb]

'75 had some soul. But mostly, Neu! is a very functional band.

Roots Manuva
Robert Wyatt
Bob Dylan
Blueprint

[Little Man being Erased]

Today I have listened to:

Billy Bragg - Back to Basics
Radiohead - OK Computer
Kings of Leon - Aha Shake Heartbreak
Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
The Decemberists - Picaresque (I just can't stop listening to it)
The Smiths - Meat is Murder (again)

[Tangy zizzle]

Awesome, another Roots Manuva fan. Have you heard his Back to Mine? it's not half bad.

I've been listening to:

The Hold Steady
Drive-by Truckers (awesome band)
CCR
Les Savy Fav

[Robert Crumb]

Awesome, another Roots Manuva fan. Have you heard his Back to Mine? it's not half bad.

I've only heard Run Come Save Me and I just got the new one. I'm still relatively new to the guy but he's good.

[Little Man being Erased]

Make that another two Roots Manuva fans. I've only got Awfully Deep though.

[Daniel!]

The Harder They Come
Scientist - Scientist Rids the World of the Curse of the Evil Vampire
Augustus Pablo - King Tubby Meets Rockers Uptown

[Tomahawk]

Kinda took a break from music recently, but I'm back into it with a ton of Split Enz, plus some XTC, Talking Heads, and Crowded House.

Also, I'm kinda hooked on the new Darkness album.

[sketchyjoe]

The Dwarves

[Bartender]

Cryptopsy - Once Was Not
Aesop Rock - Float
Television - Marquee Moon

Only that last was new for me, but I've spent the last couple of days consolidating the first two.

[Interstate]

Tortoise - S/T
Notorious B.I.G - Ready To Die
Camper Van Beethoven

[Zappa]

Can run circles around anything Neu! ever put out. They had groove, and rythym and soul man, soul.

I of course disagree with all claims in this statement.

[Dog]

Magazine - Real Life
Calexico - Convict Pool EP


edit: and Decemberists - Picaresque

[3rdplanet]

Jeff Buckley
Lightning Bolt
Blockhead - Downtown Science (mostly instrumental trip-hop)

Would you say that album was better than Music by Cavelight?

Have been listening to Elbow.

[el doctor]

Amon Düül II - Tanz der Lemminge
Jeff Buckley - Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk

[ATM]

Amon Düül II - Tanz der Lemminge
Jeff Buckley - Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk


I thought Jeff Buckley only released one album. What's on that one?

[Tangy zizzle]

I of course disagree with all claims in this statement.

Of course you do, I made it.

:)

[Happymeal]

Would you say that album was better than Music by Cavelight?

Have been listening to Elbow.

It is better. But I didn't really like Music by Cavelight much to begin with.

[asdf]

Today while cleaning my basement I have so far listened to:
Pinback
Thingy
World/inferno friendship society (two albums)
Dead kennedys
Kaizer's orchestra

[el doctor]

I thought Jeff Buckley only released one album. What's on that one?These are all the unfinished recordings he was working on up until his death. It's good; not quite as warm as Grace, but definitely edgier.

[nyltiak]

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030
Jurassic 5 - Power In Numbers
Sonic Youth - Anything and everything.
The Decemberists - Castaways & Cutouts
M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas & Lost Ghosts
The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium

[Luxor]

^ Very good list.

With the exception of Sonic Youth, that is.

[br3ad_man]

Sonic Youth > Mars Volta

[Daniel!]

The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth

It's a quality album. Sounds a little different than their earlier stuff, but nothing amazingly different.

[ヴェア ラッセル]

The Incredible String Band
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Both downloaded last night and both are pretty good.

[Zmev]

Sonic Youth > Mars Volta

City of Caterpillar are so good. I've been digging the Blood Brothers and The Decemberists also.

[pixiesfanyo]

City of Caterpillar are so good. I've been digging the Blood Brothers and The Decemberists also.

Maybe you should get some pg. 99 already.

You know, since CoC is made up of pg. 99 members.

[Zappa]

The Stooges - Funhouse

I can't always listen to this record. But when it works for me, it's unbelievably perfect.

[Tangy zizzle]

How can it not work for you?

It's such a perfect piece of rock, it always works for me.

[Interstate]

Cage
ZZ Top - Tres Hombrés

[asymm]

Jens Lekman - Oh You're So Silent Jens
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy Appendix

[Tangy zizzle]

Nice, soft Sunday listening.

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer
Imogen Heap - Speak For Yourself
The Ponys - Laced with Romance

[Zappa]

How can it not work for you?

It's such a perfect piece of rock, it always works for me.

I guess what usually happens when I'm in a particularly brainy and difficult mood is that I get sort of maddened by the lack of variation between "Loose" and "T.V. Eye." Other days I get sucked into the world of the record, and I just sort of ride right through that stretch, loving every minute of it.

[Little Man being Erased]

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy Appendix
I'm going to see them tonight. Cool.

Roots Manuva - Awfully Deep
The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
Billy Bragg - Talking With the Taxman About Poetry

[BillCosby]

Four CD's I ordered came today. God Bless Your Black Heart by The Paper Chase is really good, Thunder + Lighting by Modey Lemon is very good, Ruin Everything by We Versus the Shark is pretty good, and I haven't listened to Shock of Being by Make Believe yet.

[Tangy zizzle]

That Papaer Chase album is strange. I don't click with it very well.

[BillCosby]

That Papaer Chase album is strange. I don't click with it very well.

I'm diggin' the whole weird, dark, and dissonant thing.

[Daniel!]

Yo La Tengo - Painful

Just came in the mail. So far I'm liking it.

[Dog]

Elvis Costello - My Aim is True (bad)
Yeah, I don't understand why that album gets all the praise that it does.

Glass Eye - Hello Young Lovers
Half Japanese - We Are They Who Ache With Amorous Love
And I'm still digging Galaxie 500's On Fire(since earlier this week). Very solid album.

[Dog]

Do you have soulseek? I want some Glass Eye stuff.
Yeah: sorryentertainer

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Massive Attack - Mezzanine
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One
Sufjan Stevens - Hark! Songs For Christmas

[OrbDragon]

Lots of artsy female vocal stuff...Björks "Debut" and Cocteau Twins' "Treasure"...both equally brilliant.

[pixiesfanyo]

Todd Rundgren - Something/Anything?

One of the best albums ever, easily.

I'd trust you, but you say that about every two weeks. :p

[Tangy zizzle]

Haha, point set & match.

I'm diggin' the Kinks so far today.

That's happened to me. It says I've listened to certain Van Halen songs 20+ times, and I can't find when this supposedly happened.

1 The Smiths (Covers) 317
Holy **** son, that's a lot of Smiths covers. I saw this in your profile and I was like 'Holy **** son, that's a lot of Smiths covers.'

Also great list :cool:

They're actually Motley Crue songs but I renamed them Smiths Covers to save face.

[Dave de Sylvia]

**** You Motley Crue

I was watching this show about 'Bad Boys' last night and they played a Wham! song and Crue song and 2 Smiths songs. I was like :-D

[morrissey]

Your country has better television than my country.

[Bartender]

^They, and Elvis Costello and some others, worked together on a soundtrack for a film (which they all also had roles in). I've been failing to pick it up for a couple of years now.

[Zappa]

The Blues & The Abstract Truth by Oliver Nelson is every bit as amazing and essential as Kind of Blue.

But does it have any kind of reputation? No!

Lately I've been listening to a lot of the Butthole Surfers and Moistboyz, who, by the way, are a straight up rockin rock band with Dean Ween. It's somthing I completely recommend.

Does anyone know of a site where I can download zipped albums? S site like that is necessary at school. Thanks in advance.

[OrbDragon]

I'm listening now to a live Calexico bootleg. Black Heart played with electric guitar sounds so f*ckin awesome.

And i've listened to Labor Days by Aesop Rock about 20 times in the last 2 weeks. Best hip hop album ever? In my opinion, yes.

[Little Man being Erased]

Iron On - Oh the Romance
Blink 182 - Blink 182
Reel Big Fish - Cheer Up!

[Interstate]

Some Daoist music compilation I have on my Ipod.

It's relaxing - too relaxing in fact, I fell asleep listening to it on the way home from work on the train and almost missed my station.

[Zappa]

This morning I listened to some of Cure for Pain by Morphine.

Then on the way home I was getting a ride from a friend, and she played a mix-CD she received from another person. The first song on said mix was "Buena," one of the first tracks from the aforementioned album. Kind of weird, but pleasant.

Cursive's Domestica

[Wanker]

I've been listening to a lot of Iron & Wine and Rachel's recently.

:eek:

I just noticed that I'm signed up as a subcriber on last.fm. But I don't think my tags got deleted.

http://www.last.fm/user/Wanker86/

[Dog]

How can you tell if they upgraded you or not?

Outkast - Aquemini
Bob Log III - Trike

Edit: nevermind I just saw the message they sent me. Cool.

[Wanker]

Yeah, it's pretty wacky. Not that it's going to be all that different or anything.

[sketchyjoe]

I got upgraded even though I'm on Cluster One and only people on Cluster Two were supposed to have lost tags.

[pixiesfanyo]

Cursive's Domestica

That and Circle Takes the Square's As the Roots Undo are tied as my favorite for this decade.

Such an amazing album.

[Tangy zizzle]

...they're still the best metal band on earth, bar none baby.

[Anxious]

Is that a fact?

[pixiesfanyo]

...they're still the best metal band on earth, bar none baby.

Would you consider High on Fire metal.

Because if so, I'd have to disagree.

[W.M.A]

possibly as far as music listened to lately and nationality...cept ur from queensland so u probably speak funny and struggle to spell beer...hahahaa

[Tangy zizzle]

Neil Finn & friends - 7 Worlds Collide

Possibly one of the best concert recordings ever. I'm still enamoured.

[YDload]

"Blood and Thunder" by Mastodon has the most ridiculous video ever.

Did you get it from my link in this thread? Or was it from somewhere else? Oh well, either way the song/video kicks ***. Easily the best straight-up metal band to come around this decade.

[Daniel!]

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Joy Division - Closer

[Robert Crumb]

I was listening to the Beatles' "Michelle" on and off throughout today. That's all, I think.

I've been into Peter Gabriel lately.

[guitarded_chuck]

[Zappa]

Talking Heads is the best band to come out the 70s, in my opinion. What do you think?

[Tangy zizzle]

Completely disagree with ya' on that one Zaphoid.

[EightMilesHigh]

Talking Heads is the best band to come out the 70s, in my opinion. What do you think?

I dunno about best, but definitely one of the best. Remain In Light came out in 1980, so some would argue that they hit their peak in the '80s.

Truly, a question for the ages.
