What I've Been Digging Lately

[ThisUserIsAPipebomb]

I am really getting into Death from Above 1979 recently.

They are excellent.

[Daniel!]

The Nuggets box set all day.

[Zappa]

Holy ****! Feist!

[BillCosby]

The Like - Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?

I can't say whether it's good or not, because the first track is so great I've repeated it about eight times. They're like a less twee Eisley.

Boooooring.

Live, at least.

[YDload]

Ray Charles- some greatest hits thingy

I didn't know he had a song called "Let's Go Get Stoned." Much more tolerable than Grateful Dead or Phish anyway.

[biografiend]

Brian Eno - Another Green World
Lounge Lizards

I feel like Zappa.

[london_calling]

Broken Social Scene-Feel Good Lost.

I bought it the other day because I've been meaning to listen to them, and Feel Good Lost was the cheapest of their albums (I'm a bit strapped for cash). It took me a while to get into it, but now I havent stop playing it.It really sucks thgat the only gigs theyre playing in Australia are 18+.

I've also been digging Bright Eyes. I bought Fevers and Mirrors, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and Lifted, all of them are awsome.

[sketchyjoe]

It's 8:45AM and I've already listened to Zen Arcade twice today.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I've been slowly falling in musical love with Devendra Banhart.

[Zappa]

Brian Eno - Another Green World
Lounge Lizards

I feel like Zappa.

:wave:

[pixiesfanyo]

It's 8:45AM and I've already listened to Zen Arcade twice today.

You should've listened to Zen Arcade and then New Day Rising.

Then you should've gone and kicked some ***.

[JonM]

Holy ****! Feist! Hahaaaaaa got him.

I've been digging lots of West Coast underground hip hop, and if you'd like me to introduce you to some of the best MCs you've ever heard in your life, let me know.

[Floydfanatic]

not really undergound, but subtitle is some pretty trippy west coast hiphop

[Bukowski]

The Clash - s/t
Black Flag - I Can See You EP

And everything i've got from Wipers, who are goddamn amazing.

[Floydfanatic]

now i must play trick bird

[Bartender]

I've been listening to the only three songs there are on this laptop.

Mylo - Drop The Pressure
The Knack - My Sharona
Electric Six - Gay Bar

At least I like them all, I suppose.

[Iai]

Arctic Monkeys
Nujabes
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Shpongle
The Zombies

[asymm]

Just received the two newest Rune Grammofon releases...
so later I'll be digging those:

MoHa! - Raus Aus Stavanger
Thomas Strønen - Pohlitz

[Happymeal]

Strung Out - An American Paradox

Man, I'm always in the mood for this album.

[ATM]

Electric Wizard
Battles
Lightning Bolt
Low

[BillCosby]

Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose

[EightMilesHigh]

Ray Charles- some greatest hits thingy

I didn't know he had a song called "Let's Go Get Stoned." Much more tolerable than Grateful Dead or Phish anyway.

Ray Charles used to be quite the junkie. I love his music.

I've also been digging Bright Eyes. I bought Fevers and Mirrors, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and Lifted, all of them are awsome.

Are they? Are they really?

[CarnageFairy]

I downloaded Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers the other day.

God DAMN does it kick ***.

[JonM]

Califone - Quicksand/Cradlesnakes
Califone - Heron King Blues

oh man, these are excellent albums. Reminds me of a more experimental Iron and Wine/a better Wilco. Definitely give them a try.I just got Quicksand/Cradlesnakes today, actually, and I don't know why I didn't get it before.

[sketchyjoe]

Lots of 80s hardcore.

[Zappa]

Wu-Tang is for the children.

[superjoe]

been diggin sgt peppers lonely hearts club band cd and tommy johnson.

[Daniel!]

Eric B. & Rakim - Paid In Full

Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose
I don't like that one as much as As the Eternal Cowboy. Both are great though.

[CarnageFairy]

Shame on a nigga.

Wonderful song.

I'm going to approach a friend about his band covering C.R.E.A.M.

[BillCosby]

I don't like that one as much as As the Eternal Cowboy. Both are great though.


That's the original ****, though. It's louder and rawer and sloppier.

Acoustic EP > all though.

[Daniel!]

Fuggazi - Repeater

That's the original ****, though. It's louder and rawer and sloppier.

Acoustic EP > all though.
Truth.

[Doctor D.]

Wu-Tang is for the children.

Stravinski is for babies still in the womb.

[Daniel!]

The Police - Ghost In the Machine
The Police - Synchronicity
Rosa - I Mississippi You

[asymm]

MoHa! - Raus Aus Stavanger
Thomas Strønen - Pohlitz
Both were fantastic, really enjoyed them.

Goldmund - Corduroy Road

[Little Man being Erased]

I've spent a hell of a lot of time travelling in cars over the last couple of weeks, so I managed to listen to a lot of stuff. Nothing new though.

Most recently: Elvis Costello, Radiohead, Nada Surf, The Smiths, Pixies, Beck, Hot Snakes, The Flaming Lips, Talking Heads and Queens of the Stone Age.

[br3ad_man]

Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose

Have you seen them live? I don't really like that album, but I'm thinking of going to see them when they come soon. I'm thinking it would be fun.

[Bartender]

Took the time to actually search through my music and find a specific album (William Shatner - Has Been), as I got bored of Sharona. Love this album, though.

[Mexican Bandito]

I'm really liking Minus The Bear right now. They have a great upbeat sound :)
I got their discography a few weeks back and it's not been off my playlist.

[sketchyjoe]

I'm still experiencing the joys of a massive 80s hardcore trip. It's nice to know that the track your listening to will segue into something just as angry and bitter by a completely different band.

[br3ad_man]

I've been listening to Vespertine this morning. I think I will listen to Paul's Boutique in a minute.

[Zappa]

I just got the first four Talking Heads albums on DualDisc in the mail.:D

[br3ad_man]

Woah.

I'm waiting for some albums in the mail too. They include Mogwai and The Stooges. I can't remember everything I ordered though. I'm also waiting for Burt's cd, which I will no doubt dig when I get it.

[ATM]

Lyrics Born
Demigodz
Little Brother
Das EFX
De La Soul

[Mr Observations]

Tindersticks
Shellac
Rapeman
Talk Talk

et ****in cetera.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Wonderful song.

I'm going to approach a friend about his band covering C.R.E.A.M.

I had to dig out my Wu-Tang mp3s to remember exactly how it goes... and I must say, I just might have to steal that idea.

[Zmev]

I've also been digging Bright Eyes. I bought Fevers and Mirrors, Digital Ash in a Digital Urn and Lifted, all of them are awsome.

You are a compulsive liar.

[perriwinkle]

The Police - Ghost In the Machine
The Police - Synchronicity
Rosa - I Mississippi You
****. Yeah. (to The Police. Haven't heard Rosa. Maybe I'll check em out?)

I've been listening to November 10 by Pko practically non-stop the past couple days. I uploaded a song and made a thread about them but nobody's said anything :upset:. They're from the states, I don't know where though.

[Zappa]

I just got the first four Talking Heads albums on DualDisc in the mail.:D

So I watched all the DVD video footage. As a shameless Talking Heads fanboy, I found this a huge, huge treat. I would definitely recommend picking this stuff up.

I also listened to the stereo versions (I don't have a surround system) of Talking Heads: 77 and am playing More Songs About Buildings For Food right now. These new stereo mixes sound amazing. Much fuller and more dynamic.

[Robert Crumb]

Aceyalone & RJD2 - Magnificent City

I mentioned it a while back but I'm still on it. It's a really fantastic album, one that I'd imagine will stay on my favorites for the rest of the year, mainly for the first two songs. But it's strong all the way through. It comes out Feb. 7th, don't forget. I'm sure it leaked by now.

Also listened to Rolling Stones' Aftermath today.

[Robert Crumb]

I also listened to the stereo versions (I don't have a surround system) of Talking Heads: 77 and am playing More Songs About Buildings For Food right now. These new stereo mixes sound amazing. Much fuller and more dynamic.

I was drooling over them at the store the other day. I should have just got it over with and bought 'em.

Sounds fantastic. I may have to pick up Talking Heads: 77 on DualDisc.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I've been digging Suicide Invoice by Hot Snakes.

[br3ad_man]

I bet they sound nicer than my vinyl copies.

[Zappa]

I have More Songs About Buildings And Food on vinyl, and it's definitely an improvement. I actually heard that album on vinyl first, and was turned off by it, and I reckon it was because of the flat mix. Of course upon further listens, I fell in love with the album, but this mix makes it even better.

I still don't have that one, so when I pick it up, I'll get that version.

[sketchyjoe]

The new Good Clean Fun album. Especially the song A Little Bit Emo, A Little Bit Hardcore.

[asymm]

Spunk - En Aldeles Forferdelig Sykdom
Catherine Wheel - Chrome
I'm really enjoying the Catherine Wheel album, I can see a small shoegaze/alt faze coming on. Some greatly melodic and powerful works to be found here. It's a nice change of pace from the electronic/jazz/avante-garde things I've been listening to recently. Those other releases are great as well, but it's nice having something that doesn't require my undivided attention.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Rehearsing My Choir by The Fiery Furnaces.
It's odd, but I like it. The ramblings of the grandmother somehow appeal to me.

[Happymeal]

JR Ewing - Maelstrom

What the hell happened to this band.

Des Ark - Loose Lips Sink Ships

Surprisingly good female-fronted duo. They're less rocky than Sleater-Kinney but not as sappy-sounding as Rilo Kiley. The girl's a nifty guitarist and singer to boot(reminds me of Maura Davis<3).

[YDload]

Minus the Bear- Menos el Oso

This is a great band. My favorite song on this album is "Hooray" for its great chorus and amazing melodies throughout. There's even a neat guitar solo in here during one of the refrains of the chorus. Otherwise it's also very danceable and evokes a "great night out" atmosphere.

[JonM]

I've been listening to Vespertine this morning. I think I will listen to Paul's Boutique in a minute. Son, that is a weird-*** combination
Aceyalone & RJD2 - Magnificent City

Found it on slsk. Can you post the track list so I can verify it?

[br3ad_man]

Son, that is a weird-*** combination

A fun one though. :chug:

[JonM]

A fun one though. :chug:I'll have to try that one out.

[Daniel!]

Nazz

Well Botch were pretty much kings of guitar.

[br3ad_man]

I've been listening to some grind type stuff. Daughters and The Locust mainly.

[Floydfanatic]

nick drake

[YDload]

Got a mix of some alt/indie stuff and listened to it. Pissed Jeans is a pretty good sleazey noise-rock band that I'm sure Tangy is familiar with. The other songs were pretty much unremarkable or too stupid (Wolf Parade's vocals are terrible).

[Bartender]

I just got the first four Talking Heads albums on DualDisc in the mail.:D

Are those the Rhino re-releases - in that big boxed set, but available individually, I think - or something else entirely?

[Tomahawk]

Been listening to Kevin Gilbert's The Shaming of the True today. Concept album about the music industry. Fairly prog-rock influenced. The good sort of prog, though.

[Robert Crumb]

Found it on slsk. Can you post the track list so I can verify it?

All For U
Fire
Cornbread, Eddie and Me
Mooore
Supahero
Highlights
Disconnected
Caged Bird
Solomon Jones
A Sunday Mystery
Junior
Heaven
Here and Now
A Beautiful Mine

I can upload the thing when I go to Uni later if you got bum tracks. Slsk doesn't seem to be working for me.

[JonM]

That would be much appreciated. The user from whom I'm trying to get the album seems to be problematic. I have a lot of Acey/FF/Project Blowed records you might want in return.

[Robert Crumb]

You wouldn't happen to have his first solo one, do you? If not, that's cool. Let me know your email and I can send you a link once I'm over there.

[JonM]

People usually count which is his first solo album differently, but I have both All Balls Don't Bounce and A Book Of Human Language, if either of those is the one you mean.

jon@madvillain.com is my email address. How cool is that?

[Zappa]

Are those the Rhino re-releases - in that big boxed set, but available individually, I think - or something else entirely?

Those are them.

[YDload]

my user title and location are from the Minus the Bear song "Hooray," which has seriously been blowing my mind lately. in fact, the avatar kinda makes sense within the context of the song too :)

All Balls was the one I was thinking of. Just put Mag City up on YSI. You should be getting an email at your very cool indeed address. If anyone else is interested, let me know and I can link you.

Oh yeah, and right now I've been listening to White Light/white Heat, thinking about whether or not I should write a review for it. I don't really want to write something for an album that's already been done, though.

[Bartender]

Those are them.

I really need to get those, then. The production's always been pretty much my only problem with early Talking Heads albums.

Rhino seem to do some good reissues (based on these, and Elvis Costello).

[TalkingHead]

In the Country - This Was the Pace Of My Heart Beat
Shining - Sweet Shanghi Devil
Parker & Lily - The Low Lows <--- Awesomeness
Habib Kotie - Baro <-- Im loving this Jon, thanks so much for it
and most important of all
Secede - Tryshasla

^ Best cd I've ever come across in a long, long time. Ambience at it's finest

[Happymeal]

Back Off Cupids - s/t

John Reis' (of Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes fame) mostly instrumental solo work. It has more varied styles than his band stuff, and easier on the ears. Some fans might like it more, some won't. Despite not hearing Rick Froberg yelling with his familiar riffing, it's a grower.

[br3ad_man]

I'm totally digging Ted Leo this morning. The problem is I've got The Tyranny of Distance and I always get bored before I finish listening to it. :(

[TalkingHead]

That's what I'm talking about.

Their other cd Here Comes Winter is just as good. I feel as if I was watching My Bloody Valentine on stage and someone suddenly pressed the slow motion. I cant wait to see them live.

[asymm]

Cat Power - The Greatest
Mountains - Mountains
Catherine Wheel - Chrome

[spirit]

Gary Numan.

"Here in my car..."

[Tangy zizzle]

Got a mix of some alt/indie stuff and listened to it. Pissed Jeans is a pretty good sleazey noise-rock band that I'm sure Tangy is familiar with. The other songs were pretty much unremarkable or too stupid (Wolf Parade's vocals are terrible).

I'm somewhat familiar, as in I know/like 3 songs of theirs.

[Blue Haze]

I've been really into Jeff Buckley lately. A friend sent me a load of his stuff, now I have two of his albums.

[EightMilesHigh]

Gary Numan.

"Here in my car..."

I so remember that song.

[TheMook]

Been listening to some Roxy Music.

[br3ad_man]

High on Fire. I saw pixiesfanyo say they were the best metal band ever or something, so I checked them out. Not quite the best metal band ever, but still rather awesome.

[Daniel!]

Mischief Brew - Smash the Windows
Erik Petersen - Live at Punx Picnic Baltimore
This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb/Devil Is Electric Split

[Bukowski]

Over the last couple of days, ive been diggin'

Minutemen - Double Nickels..
The Stooges - Funhouse
The Stooges - Raw Power
Defiance Ohio - Share What Ya Got
Wipers - Over the Edge

Mischief Brew - Smash the Windows
Erik Petersen - Live at Punx Picnic Baltimore
This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb/Devil Is Electric Split

You rock. Erik Petersen is the dude in Mischief Brew isn't he? Is any of his stuff in his own name any good?

[Zappa]

The way Captain Beefheart uses mellotron on Doc at the Radar Station is pretty remarkable.

This album is so, so good.

[Daniel!]

You rock. Erik Petersen is the dude in Mischief Brew isn't he? Is any of his stuff in his own name any good?
The Live at the Punx Festival is the only one of his I have, and it's good. It's essentially Mischief Brew with only guitar. I'm gonna go get some more of his solo stuff off of slsk right now.

[pixiesfanyo]

Dresden Dolls

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Elevator Through - The Such

[Mr Observations]

Slint
Big Black
Don Caballero

[Daniel!]

I found some good bootlegs of Mischief Brew, Ghost Mice, and Fugazi that I'm digging right now.

[Smackers]

Gary Numan.

"Here in my car..."

"Down in the Park..."

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Feist - Let It Die

[Daniel!]

Guitar Wolf - PLanet of the Wolves

I'm currently on an Immortal Technique binge.

[Bukowski]

Olivia Tremor Control - Dusk at Cubist Castle
The Stooges - s/t

OTC are much cooler than i expected.

[ATM]

Stephen Malkmus - s/t

[Zappa]

Pietasters - Oolooloo
Charlier Parker - At Storyville

The former is cool soul-tinged ska-punk, and the latter is a couple of Boston Radio sets that Parker played in 1953, which I picked up on vinyl for 4 bucks.

[Robert Crumb]

Listening to some John Cale. Did anyone ever listen to Black Acetate? Is that worth getting?

[Daniel!]

Pietasters - Oolooloo
Such a fun band. I picked up some cool 3 disc thing with 4 of their albums for $20 last year.

[OrbDragon]

Prefuse73 - One Word Extinguisher
Timesbold - Eye Eye
Cat Power - The Greatest
Lamb - Lamb
Young Gods - L'Eau Rouge

Is it me or are the Young Gods totally underrated. They have been a mainstay, ever since I saw in them live. I've been listening to L'Eau Rouge like a baby pig sucking it's mothers teet dry.

[Daniel!]

Guitar Wolf - Panet of the Wolves
Melt Banana - Cell Scape
Fugazi - Some bootlegs I got yesterday
Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home

[Zappa]

Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)

I also just listened to his Ice Cream for Crow, but it's not that hot. The above is shaping up to be excellent.

[Dog]

Captain Beefheart - Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)

I also just listened to his Ice Cream for Crow, but it's not that hot. The above is shaping up to be excellent.
Hmph, Ice Cream for Crow is one of my favorite Beefheart albums.

I've been listening to a ton of Busdriver lately, along with The Fire Show - Saint The Fire Show(Pleasant abstract poppy stuff).

Oh and also the new Grayskul album, Name In Vain.

[Zappa]

Hmph, Ice Cream for Crow is one of my favorite Beefheart albums.

It didn't make a great first impression. Doc at the Radar Station and Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller), on the other hand, were instant hits in my book.

Currently hooked on Wires on Fire. "Hate Breeds Love" is grrrrreaaat.

Pietasters - Oolooloo

I think I heard some live tracks some time ago but wasn't really impressed. Should I look into them again?

It depends if you like typical ska.

[Daniel!]

Minutemen - Double Nickels On the Dime

Somehow side 2 of of the first LP got all scratched up. Lame.

[YDload]

ooh you have it on vinyl? how does it compare (stupid question)?

[Zappa]

It's got three extra songs, and each side starts and ends with random car engines starting up. The sound is fantastic.

Sebadoh - Harmacy

For some reason, "On Fire" is such a good song that the albums decline after that doesn't really bother me. It's like being flown by a heli to a mountain top, enjoying the view and then descent down with velocity on a sled.

They update once at the end of the week. It's a good summation of what we've lisented to throughout the whole week. We still talk about what we've been diggin, it's just kind of an end of the week thing.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Strokes - First Impressions Of Earth

Talk about underrated. Great record.
Agreed. It is great.

[EightMilesHigh]

I'm listening to Pulp - Different Class today.

Pulp are pretty sweet.

[BillCosby]

Today is "Bang Bang Rock And Roll" by Art Brut.

This sounds a whole lot different/better than what I was expecting.

[Zappa]

Add N to (X) - Avant Hard

Props to Happymeal for putting an album of theirs in the virtual record crate. The image of an analog synth being removed surgically from a woman's body was enough to pique my interest, and this album is really sweet. Pumpy fat analog dance freak out rock'n'roll sleazebox orgasm.

I've been diggin' The Ponys. Well, the one and only song I have. It's fantastic though.

[Tangy zizzle]

^goooood ****. Fantastic band.

[Little Man being Erased]

Would Laced with Romance be the best album to get?

[Tangy zizzle]

That and Celebration Castle are the only ones they have, and I couldn;t choose either way.

[br3ad_man]

I've only got Laced With Romance and it's pretty great.

Today I've only listened to Converge and Devendra Banhart. Cripple Crow is nice enough, but 22 tracks is just too long.

Sweet. I can't really compare those two yet but I seem to be enjoying myself with Avant Hard more than On the Wires..

Slug, do you know what the release date is supposed to be for that? Or has it even been announced?

Listening to All Balls Don't Bounce by Aceyalone, thanks to JonM. Thanks for that. :thumb:

[Meader]

The Sea and Cake
Gang Of Four

Cool. I may as well go chronologically then.

[Jawaharal]

The Pandas are pretty crunk.

Whole album or that song "Crazy", if it's the album I'll give you a good chunk of my respect if you can find a way to get it ino my possesion.

[YDload]

Changed user title and location because I can't get enough of "43% Burnt" by DEP. There's so much to listen to that it hurts my brain regardless of volume!

[Mattfanatic]

strangely that's my least favorite song off of that album, i have no idea why

[Tangy zizzle]

I've really, really been getting into Cat Power recently. i only ever had You Are Free but after listening to the Greatest (and frickin loved it) I've investigated further into her stuff. She's just fantastic.

Bob Dylan has become pretty much a reference point for how I look at most music. I've bought like 6 of his albums in the past couple weeks and I truly can't get enough of them.

Been listening to alot of Wires on Fire aswell. I'd say they're the band that sounds most like the style of music I wanna play. Well maybe if they more a bit more groove heavy. ****en awesome band. Ya'll should listen to the Homewrecker EP. It's solid gold.

[Daniel!]

Mischief Brew - Smash the Windows
Robert Blake/Erik Petersen - Bellingham & Philadelphia

Bellingham is easily the best work that I've heard Erik do.

[Dog]

Blood On The Wall - Awesomer

These guys are a lot of fun. Energetic act with boy-girl vocals. Similar to Pixies, Pavement, a dash of Yo La Tengo, and all that kind of stuff.

[CrissyTeena]

I have been completely obessed with:

Fourt Tet - smile around the face
Dogs die in Hot Cars - Lounger
Anything by Lemon Jelly or Air miami

and on a side note...how do people post new threads? are only administrators allowed to do that? Thanks!

[JonM]

You have to post a few times and then you can. It's not many. Like 10. At any rate, welcome. I see you like Four Tet. That's crunk.

I have been digging HAVING MY SPEAKERS CUZ I'M BACK AT SCHOOL!!! And through those speakers, I have been digging various Quannum Projects.

[asymm]

Yo La Tengo - Painful
Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels
Julien Neto - Le Fumeur de Ciel

[br3ad_man]

Sarah Blasko - The Overture & The Underscore
The Grates - The Ouch. The Touch.

Just bought those two.


My friend gave me some music by this band called God is an Astronaut. It's ok. The start of the song he showed me is nearly identical to 'A Warm Place' by Nine Inch Nails.

[Doctor D.]

I've been loooooooooving The Flaming Lips asoflate. I can't stop listening to "In a Priest Driven Ambulence" and the new single "W.A.N.D". Such a great band.

[Tomahawk]

I can't find WAND anywhere, and it's upsetting me.

I've been listening to The Mekons Rock n Roll today. That and Sleater-Kinney.

[Interstate]

Haven't listened to any music in the last two days or so, I listened to Anthony & The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now going to work on Friday and I'm convinced it's one of my favourites of 2005.

[Bukowski]

The Replacements - Tim
Bob Marley & the Wailers - Catch Fire
The Toasters - Ska Killers

[The NPC]

It's been a Yo La Tengo week.

[Bukowski]

Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica

Man, i love the drummer on this album so much. He's excellent. I'm debating what Beefheart album to get next, as i've only heard this + Ice Cream for Crow.

Panic! At the Disco, unfortunately. I'm reviewing their album for the school newspaper and I posted the review on Sputnik, just to get back in the swing of things.

If you, NPC, Zappa and Tangy wrote reviews for every band you hated, we'd need a new forum.

[Zappa]

If you, NPC, Zappa and Tangy wrote reviews for every band you hated, we'd need a new forum.

NPC's would all just say "this band sucks because they're crappy;" Mine would all be "this band sucks because they make passionless music for the sake of being weird;" Nacho's would all be "this band sucks because they're derivative and idiotic."

[Tangy zizzle]

Hey you, watch that mouth boy!

The Drones - Wait Long by the River & the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By

This is such a badass album. It goes from hardcore revved up Crazy Horse type rockers, to slow burning blues jams, to Birthday Party craziness to weird, delicate and mournful ballads. Why are they not bigger I ask? Why?

[pixiesfanyo]

School of the Flower.

yum, i love this on vinyl.

if they were bigger then you wouldnt like them as much "meh, ive heard em enough times."

[br3ad_man]

Hey you, watch that mouth boy!

I was feeling cheeky :p

Why are they not bigger I ask? Why?

Because it's impossible to find their cds anywhere?

[EightMilesHigh]

NPC would get mad at a band for not being post punk enough.

Speaking of post punk, actually, I've been digging Gang Of Four's Entertainment! lately. Wicked album, recommended for fans of The Clash and/or Joy Division.

[pixiesfanyo]

Jaco Pastorius - Word of Mouth

[Zmev]

Yesterday:

Jawbreaker - Dear You
Pavement - Wowwie Zowwie/Brighten the Corners

Today:

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists - Hearts of Oak
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

[br3ad_man]

Does anyone else really really dislike The Clash?

[YDload]

Does anyone else really really dislike The Clash?

i could live without them. American punk > British punk

[br3ad_man]

Well, now I feel slightly more normal.

I've been listening to:

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Sufjan - Illinois
Trophy Scars - Hospital Music

[Jawaharal]

All I need is Rock The Casbah and I could be happy for a long time.

[Tangy zizzle]

My favourite artists are as follows:

Queens of the Stone Age
Weezer
The Stooges
Black Sabbath
Sublime
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals
Wilco
Hot Snakes
Nick cave & the Bad Seeds
Bob Dylan

With the exception of Hot Snakes, I'd say that my favourite bands (ie bands I love a whooole lot) are all pretty popular/well known. I've never snubbed a band because of their status or stopped liking them because of their popularity. So get ****ed :)

[pixiesfanyo]

Well, now I feel slightly more normal.

I've been listening to:

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Sufjan - Illinois
Trophy Scars - Hospital Music

Hm. So like everyone else I heard some mild comments about Sufjan in late '04 early '05. I checked out Illinois, and over the summer I liked it alot. But it sucks now, and I find Seven Swans to be his better album. It's shorter, it's more concise and it just seems like he cared more. Make sure you check it out bread.

[pixiesfanyo]

get ****ed :)

oh man you're so scene. i didn't know anyone around here listened to these guys. they're great.

you like level-plane than?

[Tangy zizzle]

Huh?

[pixiesfanyo]

i know you like a lot of popular bands, but there can be too much of a good thing. i thought SOAD's Mezmerize was one of the strongest albums of their career, but I got sick of hearing BYOB on the radio all the time too.

maybe its just the annoying pauses for the radio editing though.

[Tangy zizzle]

If it's good, I don't really get sick of it.

[JonM]

Just wanted to get the 13,000th post in here ;)

I, uh, dig things. I dig reggae a lot.

[br3ad_man]

But it sucks now, and I find Seven Swans to be his better album. It's shorter, it's more concise and it just seems like he cared more. Make sure you check it out bread.

Yeah, Seven Swans is definitely better. I dig Illinois more now because on iTunes I have two names for the album:

Illinois
Illinois (actual songs)

The second one has all of the annoying filler removed and makes a really solid album. If he had cut it down to 11 tracks, it would have been in the top 10 of the year.

I'm going to take a nap to Laughing Stock

[Daniel!]

Erik Petersen/Robert Blake - Bellingham & Philidelphia
Captain Chaos - Captain Chaos

That Captain Chaos album is fun.

[YDload]

Dillinger Escape Plan- Calculating Infinity

I shouldn't have listened to this right before bed. My head's still ringing and I think that angry man is coming to get me :(

[Zmev]

Big Black - The Hammer Party

[rbv]

I really like The Microphones - Song Islands.

I'm really surpised though because I thought it was a post-unicorns side project but when I found out that it had nothing to do with them I was like wow. Phil Evrum sounds a lot like the Unicorns.

[Jake is Legend]

The Stiletto Formal
The sounds of animals fighting
Fight Paris

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Of Montreal - Satanic Panic In The Attic
Jackson And His Computer Band - Smash

The Locust - Plague Soundscapes

[Tomahawk]

Sweet, thanks.

That's pretty great. Not brilliant, but definitely worth me looking forward to the album.

[sketchyjoe]

I've been listening to a lot of Johnny Hobo.

[guitarded_chuck]

I've been listening to a lot of The Stooges and The Velvet Underground lately.

[Kyle]

Does anyone else really really dislike The Clash?Beyond their big hits, I think The Clash have some really great songs. Although I get easilly bored with 'Should I Stay or Should' I go' and 'Londons Calling', Songs like 'Jimmy Jazz' and 'Complete Control' are really fun. I've been diggin their live album 'From Here To Eternity' recently, it brings all the not so good tracks to life.

[br3ad_man]

The Locust - Plague Soundscapes

I love that album, it's so fun.

[pixiesfanyo]

You forgot the all important "this band sucks massive balls and thus they suck" statement thingy that I like tossing into the mix every so often. On a serious note, however; I think I will review albums from crap artists and post them on Sputniky. I could start with Stfu Steven's craptacular classic Illisucks.

[asymm]

I think I will review albums from crap artists and post them on Sputniky.
I'd actually really like you to do that - but you must realize, you do have to listen to it. So, you might rethink it.

Cocteau Twins - Head Over Heels
Goldmund - Corduroy Road
Crispy Ambulance - The Plateau Phase

I can deal with listening to them, infact, it would make things even better. I'd have more to rant on about and diss on. This could be fun, hmmm.

[xizoesira]

Lately I've been digging...

Soft Machine, Boris, Merzbow, Can, Einstürzende Neubauten, Tangerine Dream.

So basically I'm spacing out.

[xizoesira]

Hell, I've fallen asleep to technical death metal. The interesting kind, I mean.

Experimental and psychedelic music just turns me into a sloth man.

[EightMilesHigh]

My avatar represents what I've been digging lately. I really need a full album by them.

[Little Man being Erased]

Some random songs at the moment.

The Ponys, Built to Spill, Cocteau Twins, Four Tet, Jaga Jazzist, Dead Meadow and Murder by Death.

I'll be looking into albums by all of those bands very soon.

[NineBitFable]

Daft Punk
Weezer - Pinkerton
Bardo Pond
I'd never been a big fan of weezer, (Only heard Blue album and Green) but wow, Pinkerton is really good. . . IMO much better than either of the other albums I've heard.

[Tangy zizzle]

The Drones - Wait Long by the River...

This has become top 5 since 2000 for me man. Good.

[YDload]

Chameleons - Script of the Bridge

I really love this. The production is amazing.

They're a pretty good band, though the only song I've heard of theirs is "The Fan and the Bellows."

[Tangy zizzle]

Daft Punk
Weezer - Pinkerton

[Little Man being Erased]

Can you hook me up with some Dentists over soulseek, Nacho?

[ATM]

Yea, I'd like to hear that too.

[ATM]

I don't have slsk :-/

What about through YSI or AIM?

[pixiesfanyo]

Black Flag - Damaged
Gorilla Biscuits - Start Today

Yay, for '80s hardcore classics. Start Today was 90s or something wasn't it?

Oh, and I've been listening to Alkaline Trio's S/T but I didn't want to ruin my cred.

[BillCosby]

can do. What's your screenname?

are you gonna do it YSI? if so, could you please also send the link to tmv.is.for.me@gmail.com?

if not, it's no big deal. i don't need this album, just mildly interested.

[Daniel!]

Minutemen - What Makes a Man Start Fires? (my LP of it just came in the mail)
The Stooges - Fun House
Ghost Mice - A good live show I got from archive.org
Lots of Mischief Brew/Erik Petersen
