What I've Been Digging Lately

[YDload]

Apparently everyone does except me. NDR is a better album I guess, but ZA hits me a lot harder.

It was thanks to your review of Zen Arcade that I downloaded the song "Pink Turns to Blue" and eventually fell in love with the band. Thanks!

I like my reply in that thread.

I used to be so thoughtful.

[YDload]

No there isn't. Nacho's review said exactly what needed to be said in order to pique interest in an album he obviously had a great deal of admiration for. You should think about that.

Franz Ferdinand (I know their scottish but they still count) (Do You Want To)
Dead 60's (Riot Radio)
Maximo Park (Kiss You Better, Alhtough their whol album is great)
Guillemots (Trains to Brazil or Made up love song #43)

[Daniel!]

Bob Dylan - Live 1966: The Royal Albert Hall Concert

Mike Watt was a lucky man. For a small amount of time.

Nothing new, I just tried listening to a bunch of stuff through a different sound system.

[Daniel!]

The Meditations - Guidance
Misty In Roots - Live At the Counter Eurovision

[Jawaharal]

Old Crow Medicine Show - OCMS
Props to you. I've seen them live.

I'm digging ridiculous amounts of Ani Difranco and The Grateful Dead. That, alongside Friends Of Dean Martinez - Lost Horizons.

I like.

[Doctor D.]

I've mainly been diggin':

The Residents - Demons Dance Alone and Live in the US: 13th Annivesary Tour

[biografiend]

Today:

Apostle of Hustle - Folkloric Feel
The Blood Brothers - Crimes
Brian Eno - Another Green World (props to Zappa)

The Blood Brothers really stick out. I had a craving for sass, and they fulfilled it.

[YDload]

I figured out that Zen Arcade has its liner note lyrics written in two sets of handwriting, so you can figure out who wrote/sang the songs in that manner :cool:

[Wanker]

Last.fm doesn't work for me when I'm not at school, so I'll just name albums.

Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene, An EP To Be You And Me
Set Fire To Flames - Telegraphs in Negative/Mouths Trapped In Static (I also disagree with the rating given to this album by pitchfork)
Wire - Pink Flag

it's been a strange week for music.

[pettythieflout]

I recently deleted my entire hard drive of music, which I generally do every new year to make sure I get into new stuff and not get lazy.

Therefore, I won't be listing as many albums as songs, cause i havent even really been listening to my ipod either.

1. Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man
2. Black Leotard Front - Casual Friday
3. Broken Social Scene - Hotel
4. Spoon - I Turn My Camera On
5. Johnny Cash - The Mercy Seat (Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds cover)
6. The Stooges - Down on the Street
7. Dusty Springfield - Spooky
8. Frog Eyes - Soldiers Crash Gathering in Sparrow Hills
9. Wolf Parade - Lousy Pictures
10. Gorillaz - Dare (DFA Remix)

all along with the usual assortment of jazz I listen to in the winter.

[asymm]

I recently deleted my entire hard drive of music, which I generally do every new year to make sure I get into new stuff and not get lazy. Wow.

I've been very busy and haven't had time to listen to much unfortunately.
Adem - Homesongs

[OrbDragon]

The Avalanches - Since I Left You
Mercury Rev - All Is Dream
Roger Waters - Amused To Death
Cake - Fashion Nugget
Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do

Does anyone else think the same about the track "Alberto Basalm" by the latter? That its one of the most incredible, unique tracks ever. No one sounds like Richard D. James.

[OrbDragon]

4. Spoon - I Turn My Camera On

.

That's such a fun bouncy song. Very addicting and catchy. One of my favorites on Gimme Fiction.

I'm starting a BDO listening spree. It's Sarah Blasko at the moment.

I recently deleted my entire hard drive of music, which I generally do every new year to make sure I get into new stuff and not get lazy.

I've been considering doing something similar, but more for the reason of not infringing so many copyrights.

Been listening to Gong - Angel's Egg.

[sketchyjoe]

Bob Dylan - Twelve Curses (The Times... outtakes)

[RHCPaddict]

The Red Hot Chili Peppers
John Frusciante

Last day of vacation, been listening to alot of music.

[Bukowski]

^Kickass

Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust
New York Dolls - s/t
Wire - 154
Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
World Inferno Friendship Society - Just The Best Party

That's one hulluva pretentious album name from Aphex Twin. The album's pretty good, mainly because of Green Calx. And Wire are fantastic, as always.

Wire - 154
As much as I love Wire, I cannot get into that album.

Q not U ( I decided to give them a listen, they're okay.)
Thats my conclusion also.

[Bukowski]

Chairs Missing > Pink Flag > 154 > Send

I really like them all, though. What other Wire albums are good?

I am currently in love with Serena Maneesh's self-titled album. Anyone listen to them?
And I've also been addicted to Metric's Old World Underground... I have their other cd, Live It Out, but it sucks hardcore.

[BillCosby]

M.I.A.
Stylex
Enon

[Happymeal]

I just got it the other day though I haven't listened to it yet. Read some good things about it.

The Make Up - In Mass Mind
Decemberists - The Tain

[mentalstephanie]

Serena Maneesh rules a lot. Check out My Bloody Valentine if you like them.

I love My Bloody Valentine.
Happymeal, you should definitely listen to it; it's worth it.

[MerDeNoms]

I've been listening to The Fall of Troy a lot recently.. they are I guess a progressive type band? Imagine The Mars Volta, but more intense, and less random noise.

The Postal Service has really been on my playlist a lot too.. Ben Gibbard is just an awesome songwritter/vocalist.

[OrbDragon]

I'm digging bit of 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields, although I somehow never seem to dig it as a whole.

I'm currently listening to Björk - Debut.

This needs to be closed once 12,500 posts has been hit.

[BillCosby]

Why 12,500?

[Tangy zizzle]

I wanted it dead at 10,000 but namedroppers wanted to continue, so 12,500 seems like the next logical plateau.

dontchathink?

[YDload]

yeah i sure hate it when people post in this thread just so everyone can tell what bands they're listening to. where do they get off?!

[Tangy zizzle]

Started off with a decent principle (well if I remember correctly) but now people post like 20 different bands in a day of random clique-forced bands. I don't want my (user) name to be advertising this level of pretentiousness anymore.

[guitarded_chuck]

Pelican - The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw

You've all heard of them by now. Awesome stuff.

[MerDeNoms]

^ Circa Survice = sex

[el doctor]

Good call on the Serena Maneesh album. "Drain Cosmetics" and "Un-Deux" happen to be my two favorite songs off the album and I think they're both fantastic. They're one of those bands though that don't really exist outside of the internet/music nerd community. :o

The Fiery Furnaces - Gallowsbird's Bark

Something compelled me to listen to this today. Unlike Blueberry Boat, I can actually stomach it all in one sitting.

[el doctor]

same.

as well as Circa Survive and Cat Power.

Tangy, I don't see what you're getting riled up about. What other purpose could this thread serve?
I can see why he's annoyed. I remember someone posted a few months ago to try and get people to put more effort into their posts, meaning, actually discuss what you're digging rather than just name dropping. It's just annoying when people constantly come in here and have a new album every day that's "omg the best album ever, seriously" without giving any explanation.

[Tangy zizzle]

Thankyou el-doctor.

If people were actually explaining why they dig, what kinda of band/artist it is, how to hear them etc... it would be all gravy. But instead it's just lines and lines of obscure bands that people have probably just d/led and thought "ooh, unknown math-rock/art-pop band, I'll go impress the boys".

I still think it should be closed. I'd start a v2.0 and lay out some guidelines if people were willing to abide.

[Tangy zizzle]

Check out the first page for examples of how I'd like to see it done again.

[BillCosby]

I've been diggin Stylex, They're a small band from Ohio who I found out about through myspace a year or so ago. They really aren't anything special, but they're fun to listen to and have occasional little spouts of brilliance. They remind of Brainiac at times, but dancier, but not quite as electro as Enon. They still can get down and dirty at times.


Thurr you go, homie.

Its coo, its coo

I bought Hangable Auto Bulb - Aphex Twin today, and I'm wondering exactly how many drugs he was on during the making of those two EP's. The first song has a kid saying mash potatoes over and over for 5 minutes :eek:

[Happymeal]

Ok, so for the past few weeks I've been caught up with The Make Up, I gave them a better listen since the vocals' girly yelling turned me off the first time. Having a great experience with Nation of Ulysses and Ian Svenonius' singing in Plays Pretty for Baby, plus liking Weird War/Scene Creamers(Ian's band right now) made me appreciate the grooviness of In Mass Mind more. I don't know how to describe them.. funk-inspired garage rock? I'll be hooked to them for a while, that's for sure.

And as for the album in my avatar.. I used to think Murder City Devils were just an OK band until I heard R.I.P.. I have In Name and Blood and heard a couple of songs from Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts but I wasn't really that impressed. Hearing them live made me a fan, the intensity of the band (not to mention their singer) on their last show is just unbelievable. If you haven't heard anything by them, I suggest this record since it's a good sum-up of their career, even though it doesn't really have much variety as far as the mood of the songs go. Pure rock 'n roll, that's what they are. Highlight tracks: "Midnight Service in the Mutter", "Boom Swagger Boom", "Waltz", "Cradle to the Grave"

There, good enough?

[Tangy zizzle]

That's more than enough dude. It's not really you I was pickin; out.

Great choices. Two of my favourite bands ever.

[Anxious]

funk-inspired garage rock


Show me where to sign up.

Freestyle Fellowship and everyone that descended from them, including Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, and Busdriver. I've been in to Busdriver for a long time, but I'm more into him now.

[pixiesfanyo]

Like I've said before, Domestica is the best album of the decade so far. It's completely perfect for what it's going for and Kasher's vocal/guitar melodies are ace. If I could write just one song from this album I'd be estatic. That's what I've been digging.

[moderaterock222]

domestica reminds me of good times. i received it as a gift( :D ). took me ages to get into but when i finally did i felt cool:cool:

[mentalstephanie]

Yeah, that gift was from me. :angry:
I love Domestica. I find it has a little more edge than The Ugly Organ. It has this hard, raw sound/feel to it.

Why'd you only give it a 4 on Sputnik if you consider it the best album of this decade?

[br3ad_man]

I've been listening to Mogwai mainly. I'm listening to some Dredg this morning. I don't think it's necessary to explain either of those bands because everyone has heard them already.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm really beginning to enjoy Danny Elfman. I've been bingeing on the Charlie & The Chocolate Factory soundtrack for the past few days; today I watched Nightmare Before Christmas and went straight out and bought the soundtrack afterwards. He combines two of my favourite things; wistful movie themes and eccentric weird-pop. :)

[Anxious]

I'm really beginning to enjoy Danny Elfman.
Whats he have going for him besides the Simpsons theme?

im new to this thing.but i take it that everyone knows bout the arctic monkeys?the best band of 2005?the best band in 2006-wait and see... they are big in england.

Songs to check out:
from the ritz to the rubble
bigger boys and stolen sweethearts
choo choo
a certain romance



another band is the rakes-totally british i know but theyre class especially live.Reuben are another overlooked quality band-heavier... Just thought id let you know bout 3 of my fave bands at present

[pixiesfanyo]

anyway

Indian Summer - Discography and Live: Blue Universe

Discography = top five emo albums of all time. It is imperative that everyone checks it out if you like early emo at all.

Meh. It's decent. But Angry Son is the only truly memorable song in my opinon.

[Sundancekid]

i predict big things for
mystery jets
editors
young knives
arctic monkeys (sorry but it's true)
plan b
and perhaps maximo park will get bigger
and definatly willy mason will hit the big time

[Zappa]

You're just making up band names, aren't you?

No, you're obviously just not indie enough.

Angry Samoans
fIREHOSE

fIREHOSE don't get enough credit. They may forever live in Minutemen's shadow, but they're still pretty damn good. George Hurley really shines with them.

A vinyl copy of it is floating around somewhere in the US mail system trying to find it's way to my house.

That is an awesome album.

Long Shadow and Get Down Moses are my two favorites.

Boris - Pink

this is fun. I can't classify it at all. The Melvins on speed, maybe.

I need to hear that. Boris rules.

I really love this album, I think it's one of the more overlooked Cure albums.

[Interstate]

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane - At Carnegie Hall
Art Blakey - Moanin' (thanks Zappa)
Imogen Heap (desperate to get one of her albums)

[Doctor D.]

X-Cops - You have The Right To Remain Silent...

This is basically the 95' incarnation of GWAR and maybe two others as as, you guessed it, ex-cops. All were discharged from the force for horrible acts, even horrible for a cop....and they get away with almost anything. But yeah it's good fun metal. I like it alot I'd recomend it to fans of GWAR or metal or punk or thrash or anything of the like or sandwiches.

They are a local band for me (DC). Very cool melodies, with lots of loops. The drumming is very tight as well. I highly reccomend them.

[ihatemybass]

The Slits

Great Music. I have had the 'Cut' album for some time but never got into it.
The drums have a nice thud to them. Sometimes the lyrics are chanted making the whole reggae/tribal music sound more enchanting.

[Brewer14]

The Stokes new CD has had all my attention lately

[EightMilesHigh]

Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane - At Carnegie Hall

Word.

Today I've been listening to Mott The Hoople.

[Anxious]

Emo.

Indian Summer
Embrace
Rites of Spring
I Hate Myself

thats my week.

[moderaterock222]

are embrace really considered emo?

[Anxious]

The Embrace I'm thinking of. Not the brit-pop one, the D.C. one, I believe so, yes.

[moderaterock222]

ah..i got mixed up

[Anxious]

Its evil that that band took the originals name. Even if they didn't know it at the time.

[moderaterock222]

i actually quite like the brit-pop embrace so i don't care:p

[Anxious]

Well then they should change their name to Brit-pop Embrace.

[Daniel!]

Against Me! - Cavalier Eternal
Fugazi - Furniture

They're both 7" vinyls that came in the mail today. The Against Me! one is fantastic.

[Doctor D.]

Firery Furnaces - Rehearsing The Choir

I never ever could get into this before. The first song I always liked but it drug on and on. But for the first time ever, I'm deep into the music. I think it's because I'm depressed and all gloomy? But that can't be it....this is depressed person music. Or is it? UNDERLYING TONES!

[Luxor]

Emo.

Indian Summer
Embrace
Rites of Spring
I Hate Myself

thats my week.
Not bad.

[The Great Decay]

Yo Luxor, do you have soulseek?

[pixiesfanyo]

Those too. Except that I haven't heard Off Minor.

IhateUsernames is my slsk. I'm on right now.

Off Minor is the best screamo band.

You twat.

[Tomahawk]

I've been listening to a ton of Dandy Warhols. Saw em live on new years, and they were faaaantastic. Lots of fun. So I've been checking them out, their albums are more solid than I thought they'd be.

Also, I just downloaded the entire Cocteau Twins discography, so I'll be drowning myself in dreamy ethereal awesomeness for the next few days.

[pixiesfanyo]

My Dying Bride, yay for goth metal.

[Electrocution]

Battles!

They are a local band for me (DC). Very cool melodies, with lots of loops. The drumming is very tight as well. I highly reccomend them.
thanks

[Luxor]

Off Minor is the best screamo band.

You twat.
Well than, that's quite a claim. If they don't live up to it, I'm holding you responsible.

[pixiesfanyo]

Well than, that's quite a claim. If they don't live up to it, I'm holding you responsible.

I've been getting more into Butthole Surfers recently. I just got Independent Worm Saloon the other day. Great stuff.

Personally, I am still digging Battles, and also Modest Mouse.

Are you saying Linux helps to bust the turds now? :lol: I'm not bad...Out of my tabmod job for obvious reasons, but pretty much the same.

As for Slug -- Worm Saloon and Electriclarryland are good places to start. They're accessible (sp?), but still have the weirdness that makes the Surfers great. If you want the bizzare as Hell stuff, though, get Locust Abortion Technician. I've yet to find it in a store, though...

The Early November - Room's Too Cold
The Reindeer Section

[Zappa]

Battles, thanks to Slugbert.

They're a sweet math rock band, with some bluesy elements.

There, I'm helpful.

[YDload]

Yesterday I went back to school. It was a long drive so I listened to some music on the way:

Husker Du- Zen Arcade If you don't know what this band is like, it's like punk but with more melodic vocals/songwriting. It's who Green Day owes an awful lot to.

Mastodon- Leviathan Whale metal. It's an album about Moby Dick, and the music really fits the lyrics in invoking imagery of sailing the high seas and being consumed by madness. I've had the song "Aqua Dementia" stuck in my head all day, what with its crazy guitar intro and growling, raspy vocals.

Television- Marquee Moon Most people know how much I've been digging this album lately, but if you still don't know then I'll tell you what it is. It's The Rolling Stones if they were a punk band, or The Strokes if the guitarist and bassist decided to play something worth a damn.

I know most of you already are somewhat familiar with these albums, but I'm trying to promote more words in this thread, per tangy's request.

[YDload]

Husker Du does not = Green Day. The Ramones, the Buzzcocks, etc. = Green Day.

Green Day was heavily influenced by them, they were even mentioned in GD's Behind the Music episode.

[OrbDragon]

Björk - Vespertine
Calexico - Feast Of Wire
Mr Bungle - California
dEUS - Pocket Revolution
Ani DiFranco - So Much Shouting So Much Laughter

I think I got sentimental and started listening to the records I've been whoring the most the past 5 years as a MXican.

If I make it another 5 years, I should be considered as unlikely to be banned as Tim Duncan leaving The Spurs.

[OrbDragon]

Well they certainly sound nothing alike, so don't get people all misled.

Cat Power - The Greatest

I think I like this more than You Are Free. The title track alone is worth the price of admission (which was $0 on soulseek).

I haven't heard that one yet. Isn't it a compilation?

[mentalstephanie]

I've been listening to Danse Macabre by The Faint. I stumbled upon them today at my friend's house and I am in love with them. I love Glass Danse and The Conductor.

[Otherside]

Jaga Jazzist. Absolutley in love with this band right now.

[asdf]

I've been listening to The Drovers, which is an irish folk/rock band from the 90's. Mostly for nostalgia. Back when I was a little kid, in the early-mid 90's, my mom really loved this band. I used to sing the songs (weither music was playing or not), and I distictly remember being at an outdoor concert of theirs when I was 4. It reminds me of being carefree and happy for no reason. Plus, the music really isn't that bad.

One day they came to our town, and my mom had heard word of where they were going to a party a few blocks away from us. So her and her friend went there, and found no one but the drovers there. So they were invited to my house, where cases of beer were sent over (it was in their contract), and they played with my brother's action figures. Crazy stuff.

And this nostalgic music has caused me to listen to my dad's band's music, off their best CD. It's also irish/folk/rock sort of music that I've heard a million times. Every thursday I went to the drummer's house for my dad's band practice. We watched TV, but the sound was usually low or off. I remember listening to the music that was playing in the basement. I know every note of every song on this album.

So what I've been diggin' lately?
The Drovers
The Willeys

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Melt Banana - Cell-Scape

and also a neat little somewhat-Sabbath-y throwback band called Witchcraft

[pixiesfanyo]

Burton Wagner - In the Realms of the Unreal.

Fantabulous, Subtle Dagger is a gifted child.

[The NPC]

Alot.

[Jawaharal]

Phish's new live album is pretty damn good.

[noise-snack]

Lightning Bolt's new Hypermagic Mountain, The Locust's new self titled album, Deerhoof, The Moog documentary....

[noise-snack]

and CAN..Dirty jesus I love can!

[Daniel!]

Buddy Rich - Swingin' New Big Band
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'

[YDload]

Phish's new live album is pretty damn good.

Phish is right up there with Creed for the most boring band with a kickass guitarist.

[pixiesfanyo]

That's because he likes you.

Alot.

I like black candy.

[The NPC]

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'

Excellent.

[pixiesfanyo]

Autechre is pretty great.

I'm diggin' on Amber at the moment.

It's electronica, for those who didn't know.

[Happymeal]

Listening to some songs from Goblin ****.. stoner-ish metal band in which Rob Crow(Pinback, Heavy Vegetable, etc) sings in. It's kind of boring so far, since his singing mixed with the slow, repetitive riffing is NOT a good combination. lol @ album cover

[Jawaharal]

Autechre is pretty great.

I'm diggin' on Amber at the moment.

Incunabla and Tri Repeate are the best.

[BillCosby]

ATDI - In/Casino/Out
Converge - Jane Doe
The Magic Numbers (Iai's front page RYM review made me give it a second chance)

[EightMilesHigh]

I've been listening to Danse Macabre by The Faint. I stumbled upon them today at my friend's house and I am in love with them. I love Glass Danse and The Conductor.

I enjoy the music of The Faint.

[biografiend]

Matisyahu
Stars

Yet another odd combo.

[Little Man being Erased]

Pulp - Different Class
The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth

[morrissey2]

Nice, Pulp.

Serge Gainsbourg

[pixiesfanyo]

Fantomas - The Director's Cut

You know, it's like DEP if they were poppy and not insane. I enjoy it.

[asymm]

So who else noticed this noise-snack kid who has three posts and great taste?
I did... nice to get some new blood. Hopefully he'll stick around.

Digging:
Strønen/Storløkken - Humcrush
It's an improv electronic/jazz group with the drummer from Food (Strønen) and the keyboardist from Supersilent (Storløkken). They create very playful and seemingly choreographed work. The interplay between these two musicians is very impressive, recommended to fans of the genre.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Listening to some songs from Goblin ****.. stoner-ish metal band in which Rob Crow(Pinback, Heavy Vegetable, etc) sings in. It's kind of boring so far, since his singing mixed with the slow, repetitive riffing is NOT a good combination. lol @ album cover

I saw one of their videos through the magic of On Demand cable. It was neat. But I can see how it would get boring.

While on the subject of Rob Crow, one band I've been semi-diggin' lately is Team Sleep, which has Rob Crow doing some guest vocals on some songs.

[Dog]

Man Man - Six Demon Bag
Carnival-like arrangements with sleazy vocals. It rules. I wish I could find their first album somewhere :(

The Gories - I Know You Fine, But How You Doin'
Detroit-based garage rock. Recommended for fans of The Dirtbombs and the like.

My Morning Jacket - Z
Completely different than anything else MMJ have done. They dropped their country sound and added a dream pop element.

Listening to some songs from Goblin ****.. stoner-ish metal band in which Rob Crow(Pinback, Heavy Vegetable, etc) sings in. It's kind of boring so far, since his singing mixed with the slow, repetitive riffing is NOT a good combination. lol @ album cover
Horrible Rob Crow project. Even worse than Pinback.

[Electrocution]

Modest Mouse
Don Cab
Battles

[BillCosby]

Paul McCartney - Chaos and Creation in the Backyard
Depeche Mode - Violator

[ATM]

Mogwai - Young Team
Minutemen - Double Nickels On the Dime
Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowdest West

[Daniel!]

Against Me! - As the Eternal Cowboy
Against Me! - Acoustic EP
Against Me! - Reinventing of Axl Rose
Against Me! - Cavalier Eternel

I can see a pattern.

[Jawaharal]

The Godfathers - This Damn Nation.

[Luxor]

Broken Social Scene and Envy.

[mentalstephanie]

I looooove this band called Rogue Wave. The single, Nourishment Nation, is really fun. Anyone else listen to them?

[Daniel!]

Creedence Clearwater Revival

John Fogerty has one of the greatest voices ever.

[biografiend]

Man Man - Six Demon Bag
Carnival-like arrangements with sleazy vocals. It rules. I wish I could find their first album somewhere :(


I've heard a few tracks from Man Man and they are pretty sweet.

Today:
more Matisyahu - From the Dust...Arise. I dig this guy. His music makes me want to convert to Judaism and grow a beard and rap about politics and stuff.

The Blood Brothers - Crimes. I have decided that the sass is pretty sexy, in an hXc way.

Apostle of Hustle - Folkloric Feel. This outfit is from Canada, and have members in Broken Social Scene. They are pretty similar to BSS in music style and taste, but feature more nice acoustics.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth

I may be the only one with this opinion, but FTIE blows away Is This It? . Then again, ITI kind of sucks.
I don't agree with you but I do really really enjoy First Impressions of Earth.

Tom Waits - Closing Time
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals - Jacksonville City Nights

[YDload]

Anyone here ever listen to Longpigs? They're a decent band.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Horrible Rob Crow project. Even worse than Pinback.

Gasp. But Pinback's his best project!

[Bartender]

Got Help! for Christmas, so I've been listening to that. Probably don't need to expand on it much, though. I've also been discovering that I like the White Stripes more than I thought I did, through De Stijl, another gift.

Winnebago Deal. Finally got around to buying some stuff by them, having listening to a couple of free downloaded tracks for a couple of years. Just really good, loud rock. Impressive that so much noise can be made by just two guys. Three if you count Jack Endino, I suppose.

Also got the new Meads of Asphodel album, which sounds great so far. More of the same (Middle East-influenced black-metal-punk-space-rock-drum'n'bass) really, but..well, I want more of the same, damn it. Finally picked up their split with Mayhem too, after far too long putting it off, but I've not listened to that yet.

I also believe I have a package waiting for me downstairs (which I can't get to until the lazy staff decide to come back from their, so far, two hour break), wherein I will find, nestling amongst several books and other stuff, Double Nickels on the Dime. I got tired of never seeing it available for a decent price, so I just gave up and bought it for full price. It'd better be worth it.

[Doctor D.]

Man Man - Six Demon Bag
Carnival-like arrangements with sleazy vocals. It rules. I wish I could find their first album somewhere :(




You mean The Man With a Blue TUrban with a Face or somthing to that effect? I got it, it's amazing, when I get home I'll try to get it to you.

[ItAintMeBabe]

Strokes - First Impressions of Earth

[queenbeerocks]

anyone heard of third eye blind?? they do stuff for the smallville soundtrack and it has a sumwhat cheesy vibe to it, but i'm hooked!

[queenbeerocks]

Sun City Girls - Torch of the Mystics

This is a lot more normal than I thought it would be. Fairly pleasant, even. It's like tame Butthole Surfers/Volcano Suns-ish garage jamming.

Wolf Eyes - Burned Mind

**** this stupid ****.

The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth

I may be the only one with this opinion, but FTIE blows away Is This It? . Then again, ITI kind of sucks.

omg how can you say that Is This It sucks?? new york city cops and last nite are the best!!

[Bartender]

Is This It? does suck though. The new single (Juice Box? I think that's it) is a lot more interesting than anything I've heard from them before.

[YDload]

anyone heard of third eye blind?? they do stuff for the smallville soundtrack and it has a sumwhat cheesy vibe to it, but i'm hooked!

Everyone's heard of Third Eye Blind. Don't you remember the 90s?

Also, welcome back Bartender :)
