What I've Been Digging Lately

[Happymeal]

Low and Blonde Redhead!!<3 (even if I've only heard one song from both, haha)

[Dark Hero]

The Shins
The Modern Lovers

I'm really getting into The Shins lately, they rock. \m/

[el doctor]

Now I'm liking Blonde Redhead-Misery Is A Butterfly, great song. I'll be researching about them the next few days. *delighted*
Their music took me a surprising amount of time to get into. I found it a bit boring and repetetive at first, but after going back to some of their stuff, I really like it.

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, and Bright Eyes.

[fearlessvampirekiller]

iv been really into bedouin soundclash. and fake cops.

[Tomahawk]

I'm now digging Leonard Cohen. He's one cool canuck bastard.

And I just want to reiterate how friggin awesome Missy Higgins' CD is. I didn't expect it to be this good.

[Tapeworm]

Again, YESSSS!!!

Hey, do you have much knowledge on Leonard Cohen? Because I really dig him and I've been wanting to pick up an album for some time now.

[Tomahawk]

I know that "Songs of Love and Hate" is a good album. And that Avalanche is an awesome song. Other than that, I know nothing.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i'm finally sitting down and listening thoroughly to Dizziee Rascal after like 8 months and i am firmly impressed...

[Wanker]

nice choices. if i ever get to see Explosions live, i would probably crap my pants.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

you would, brilliant brilliant live show...

[Little Man being Erased]

I got the new Faint album "Wet From Birth" yesterday and have been listening to it non-stop. Awesome. And yeh, congrats to those who have discovered the brilliance of Missy Higgins.

[Happymeal]

Hah, typical Tapeworm persuasion. I haven't listened to Missy Higgins yet, but I'm sure I'll like her. What's a good first The Faint album? Your Hand In Mine makes me gloriously sad.. so beautiful..

[guitari265]

Who knows any rising rock/indie bands in nothern illinois? One of my favorites recently broke up, Surefire, but yeah any suggestions?

[another guy]

lately, i've been diggin New Pornographers

[Tapeworm]

Hah, typical Tapeworm persuasion. I haven't listened to Missy Higgins yet, but I'm sure I'll like her. What's a good first The Faint album? Your Hand In Mine makes me gloriously sad.. so beautiful..
Hah, yeah.

Danse Macabre is definately my favourite Faint album. Wet From Birth has really freakin great songs on it, but there are two or three average tracks. Blank Wave Arcade is really consistent, but not to the standard and consistency of Danse.

[KazooVirtuoso]

I've been stuck in a musical rut for a while... Not in a bad way really, it's just that I've been sticking a lot of my semi-recent favorites lately instead of discovering new favorites. Isis, Pinback, Fantomas, Mastodon, Kayo Dot, 27, Pelican, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Cardigans, etc, etc. My new discoveries, which haven't been many, haven't reached 'favorite' status.

Only difference is I've been spinning Gran Turismo by The Cardigans instead of their older indie-pop albums.

[IsItLuck?]

Dillinger Escape Plan featuring Mike Patton and Radiohead has been a favorite on my playlist lately.

[coolnewshoes]

There's this newish Canadian band called NoAlternative. They aren't big at all, their site is noalternativemusic.com (http://www.noalternativemusic.com/). They have a vid for their song called "Something Beatiful" that they play sometimes on TV, I've seen it on MuchLoud. They're a cool band, they have good music and they aren't all creepy and tattooish and insane clothing type.

[No_Star]

The Radio Dept. - Lesser Matters
I really don't know what to say about this album... but I'm quite sure that lesser matters has the most breathtaking masterpieces I've listened to in a long time.
Run and buy it/dl it

[systemhead_cina]

Bjork

[Boys in Dresses !?]

I have been liking Radiohead alot lately O.K Computer and Pablo Honey are phonminal albums. Brendan Bensan and the Welfed boys you kids should go listen to "your quiet' its great. Juipiter Sunrise I heard them on a compilation and i went and downloaded alot of them "arthur nix" is a great song. Alot of cursive Domestica rocks and Flogging Molly they have to be my favorite band now besides my all time favorite Modest Mouse and Interpol

[clown_phobia]

Nirvana - Nevermind
Pearl Jam - Ten
Led Zeppelin - II
Jimi Hendrix - Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix
Green Day - Dookie

[Tangy zizzle]

Spacemen 3 are top shelf material.

Seriously!

[adeline621]

adam green. he's not particularly new, just a new discovery for me... garfield was great

[fan of the game]

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm really getting into Pretty Girls Make Graves, Coheed and Cambria and Minus The Bear. All bands that this forum has introduced me to.

[Happymeal]

Pretty Girls Make Graves

Cool. Check out Rival Schools too, if you haven't done so.

I'm gonna buy an Arab Strap album one of these days..

[AK47]

Talking Heads - Remain in Light.

:cool:

[Luxor]

Today I bought:

Coheed And Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of The Silent Earth: 3
Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

I already had a burned copy of Co&Ca, but I decided to buy my own.

[Luxor]

To Tapeworm: Does this count as stealing? I was on the website tonight and I like that pic. I thought you wouldn't mind since you don't use the Elliot avatar anymore. :D

[Tapeworm]

Today I bought:

Coheed And Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of The Silent Earth: 3
Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

I already had a burned copy of Co&Ca, but I decided to buy my own.
Hah, that's the same thing I did with IKSOSE:3. NICE!!!

Yeah man, it's alright. If you want I could switch back to my moving one with all the pics and you could save it if you want. So you could have that one. Eh?

[Happymeal]

Why the heck would you not buy IKSOSE:3 or SSTB if you're a CoCa lover? I've been listening to The Prize Fighter Inferno(CoCa's side project?) songs awhile ago, cool. Oh, and My Red Cell which Tape raves so much about. Modest Mouse killer? Maybe. Haha. I'ma gonna buy Burn Piano Island, Burn later..

[Tapeworm]

Oh, and My Red Cell which Tape raves so much about. Modest Mouse killer? Maybe. Haha.
Huh???

Oh, and isn't there only one "Prize Fighter Inferno" song?

[Happymeal]

You said they're better than Modest Mouse and stuff.. ahh nevermind. Only one Prize Fighter song?:confused: I heard 3..2 on MySpace, 1 on purevolume..

[Tapeworm]

Woah, I've only heard one. You crazy thingo you!

Oh, I get it now, yeah I like em more than MM.

[Luxor]

Hah, that's the same thing I did with IKSOSE:3. NICE!!!

Yeah man, it's alright. If you want I could switch back to my moving one with all the pics and you could save it if you want. So you could have that one. Eh?

Sure. :)

You made that one yourself right? It's pretty awesome.

[Tapeworm]

Yeah, I'll change it now, just post here when you've got it. :thumb:

[Luxor]

I'm kind of computer-retarded at some things, how do I save it? Right clicking and saving on my computer just saves it as a single "still" pic. It's not alternating between them...

[Tapeworm]

Really? It should just save as a GIF. I dunno, when it says "save as" just save it as whatever.gif maybe.

[Luxor]

It will only let me save as bitmap. :confused:

[Tapeworm]

What a gayhead. I can send it to you if you have MSN. just gimme your email.

[Luxor]

Haha, *scrolls down page*. So much Elliot!

[Tangy zizzle]

I've been on a Prwfuse 73 and Pavement binge lately.

Clinic are also ultra cool.

[Badmoon]

Big Black

[Happymeal]

A lot of Arab Strap again.. and anything that's got the downers

/sad

[Tangy zizzle]

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

[Tomahawk]

I'm on a bit of a Dan the Automator binge right now. Handsome Boy Modelling School, Deltron 3030, Dr Octagon, Lovage, and even a little bit of Gorillaz.

Automator is the balls.

[Tangy zizzle]

So true. ^^

[Robert Crumb]

Has anyone heard the Head Automatica album yet? I know Dan the Automator had his hands in that but I never heard anything much about the album. I should probably buy it.

Until then, I'm going to listen to a lot of Lee Perry, Neutral Milk Hotel and The Shaggs.

[Tomahawk]

I've never heard of that. But I'm interested... very interested.

[Tapeworm]

I bought Green Day's new album "American Idiot" today. It is way better than I expected it to be. And I expected it to be really good.

I also god My Red Cell's "13inmy31". It's really really cool from what I've heard.

[Happymeal]

Hah, you always surprise me Tape, I didn't know you like pop punk too.:)

Anyways, I'm loving Two Ton Shoe again right now.. I call 'em pop funk. Listen to "Medicine" and "Believe" if you're interested.

[CommieCanada]

i have been rediscovering Thursday, and i have been listening to the new UnderOATH album

[The Ashtray Girl]

[vallely2004]

I've been diggin' Desert Sessions lately, 9 & 10 and 7 & 8, they are just great and you can tell everyone involved had a great time being involved and the people involved are just free to do whatever and the songs out of it are amazing.

I've heard these albums and they are all good.

I haven't had much sleep and since I've had a bit of girl trouble lately, I'm really emo...I should get some sleep.

[Tangy zizzle]

[Tangy zizzle]

[br3ad_man]

3m0 b0y!!

Hows it goin mate?

:upset:

Better than it has been, but I'm still really confused about everything...

Anyway:

I just picked up a new copy of "source Tags and Codes" from David Jones for $6, new. Nice.

I thought you'd be proud of me Tangy..

[Tangy zizzle]

Hadn't seen that one, but....

Holy crap! $6??? I hate that store then, that album should be sold for like $90.

But good on you! It's a cool album to own, the artwork is very good.

[Tangy zizzle]

Because your's are not O-ffic-ial.

Plus, I got my copy of Songs for $3.50... therefore I win.

[Tangy zizzle]

New Hot Snakes album is pretty damm good. Dunno if it's better than Suicide Invoice, but gimme a few more listens and I can give my honest opinion.

My girlfriend told me she got a random e-mail that had one of the songs off the new album. I told her to keep the email so I could give it a listen, she accidentally deleted it though. :(

[br3ad_man]

Your girlfriend has awesome music taste man.

I'm having a strange craving for A Perfect Circle. For some reason I own both their albums. While they are good, I wouldn't normally buy them...

[el doctor]

Lately, I've been listening to a bit of post-rock; mostly Rachel's, Mogwai, and Slint.

[sugar kane]

modest mouse, bright eyes, death cab, the appleseed cast, velvet underground, the promise ring, cap'n jazz, the smiths.

[br3ad_man]

More hip hop today...The Streets are cool.

[Tomahawk]

I downloaded the Head Automatica album, so I'm kinda digging that.

Also, I just heard A Perfect Circle's new cover of John Lennon's "Imagine" on the radio... can somebody please explain to me what the **** is up with that?

[Tapeworm]

I've been listening to The Cure's Disintegration and Modest Mouse.

[Tapeworm]

Yeah, I got an email about the new APC album, and I was taken aback with disgust.

Man, I have been listening to The Moon And Antarctica non stop.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Man, I have been listening to The Moon And Antarctica non stop.

They are recording a new album of covers of political songs. I, like most people, think it's going to be an absolute piece of crap.

[Badmoon]

I've really liked a few songs I've downloaded from Jesus Lizard.

[Zappa]

"Wrong" by Nomeansno made it onto my top 20 albums of all time this week.

[Luxor]

I've been listening to these albums a lot lately;

The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots
Coheed & Cambria - In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3
Jeff Buckley - Grace

[Tapeworm]

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

Nick Cave is my saviour.

[Push the Envelope]

I've been binging on Jeff Buckley, The Smashing Pumpkins, Coheed & Cambria and DREDG all week. I finally bought El Cielo the other day after having a copy for a year and a half. :D

[Tapeworm]

I woke up to The Cure's Disintegration this morning. It was perfect.

[Tomahawk]

Six thumbs up. That album is great, O'Malleys Bar is so cool.

[Luxor]

I woke up to The Cure's Disintegration this morning. It was perfect.

I'm kind of going backwards. I bought their new CD a while back when it came out, and I just recently downloaded Disintegration, it's pretty good.

[Robert Crumb]

tweaker-2a.m. wake up call

Yar, good album I liked the first one better though. Jennifer Charles and Will Oldham's tracks are nothing short of spasmorphtastic. :)

[Well_Respected_Man]

I'm in a big trip hop/big bass phase, so I'm listening to:

Porthishead
Public Image Limitied
Stereolab

[Tomahawk]

I'm feeling emotional, so the Replacements are what I'm digging. The song Answering Machine is getting much play right now.

Seriously, **** Nirvana, if you want angsty music then the Replacements own the world.

[asymm]

Recently been into:

Madvillain
Re-Appreciation for Dizzee Rascal's "Boy In Da Corner"
Dungen
Max Richter

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm really digging the new U2 track - Vertigo. Can't wait for the album.

[Dashboard_56]

Coheed and Cambria. I cannot get enough of that Favor House Atlantic. And duh, The Vines.

[Tapeworm]

I downloaded Imagine by APC, and I actually think it's pretty alright.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've getting upto my old tricks again and been on a bit of a metal binge. Burnt By The Sun, Glass Casket and Cryptopsy have been tickling my ears.

I'm loving the new Hot Water Music track All Heads Down, the new album should be a good'n.

[saliva reject]

currently in my player are:
saliva-back into your system, if you have never heard rest in pieces, then ur life isn't complete. Other quality tracks are always and raise up

Anyways, I'm feeling hXc today. I'm listening to Everytime I Die, Psyopus, Discordance Axis, Between The Buried And Me and The Locust right now.

[Tangy zizzle]

Nope I havn't. I'll get an album on my next downloading session o-ite?

[Happymeal]

Ite. I'm still on my promoting rampage especially 'cause they're Buddy and DFelon approved. Haha

I'm gonna check out Radiation 4 and Burnt By The Sun soon, are they any good?

[Tangy zizzle]

Burnt By the Sun = Heavy sugar.

They are a really good band.

[sugar kane]

i'm at school and i've been wanting to listen to jeff buckley - grace all day.

[Jimmy_The_Exploder]

you know, I still haven't heard Jeff Buckley :confused: I've had him recommended to me lots and i've read a lot about him, but still haven't gotten round to buying Grace. Isn't he supposed to be a good slide guitarist or something?

Also: recently i've been listening to:

Interpol - Antics (Superb - buy it now!)
The Music - Welcome to the North
The Rakes - Strasbourg (just a single - but their debut will be great from what i've heard)
The Fall - Live at the Witch Trials

[Well_Respected_Man]

Super Furry Animals - Radiator

One of my new favorite animals, My avater is from the cover too ;)

[Interstate]

a few bands i'ev been diggin recently:

[br3ad_man]

:eek: Tell me how good it is when you listen to it! I'm not going to download anything from it...I'm just going to buy it when it comes out.

[Tapeworm]

Sames. October = best month ever.

a few bands i'ev been diggin recently:

My Red Cell
Hell yeah muthamutha!!!

[shatteredfan]

Lately, I've been listening to lots of 90's stuff. Temple of the Dog, Weezer, Garbage, and of course the classic nineties staple Nirvana.
As far as new stuff, I'm lovin the truant album from Alien Ant Farm, the brand new Papa Roach tune, and there is a local indie band from my area called Shattered Core. They have a really unique sound, sort of Gwen Stefani meets Foo Fighters?!Anyways, my favorite songs of theirs are
Find the Way
Feel Me
To hear these guys check out their website @www.shatteredcore.com
:thumb:





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.

[Luxor]

:eek: Tell me how good it is when you listen to it! I'm not going to download anything from it...I'm just going to buy it when it comes out.

I'm listening to it now, I have yet to form an opinion of it though. (FYI: I'll probably be buying it as well, if I like it that is).

[sweboy]

I just checked out The Flaming Lips. Looks good. Skatalites are pretty hot these days, aswell as Looptroop and Against Me.

EDIT: Oh snap, 9000th post! :eek:

:chug:

[rescyou.]

ok, as i can't make a thread yet, (the whole one day thing) i'm gonna suggest a band, that some people might be interested in.

telefontelaviv (http://www.telefontelaviv.com/greaterThan.html)

have a listen, come back, criticise, or complement on the band. the website is very very sexy, and the music is quite inspiring.

enjoy.

[Luxor]

The Flaming Lips = :thumb:

I haven't seen you posting much lately, you should come around more often. + Congrats on the 9,000th post.

[asymm]

The Arcade Fire - "Funeral"
It's a great album, the hype makes you think it's going to be the voice of God... but don't get me wrong, it's still pretty **** good. There's also a lot of talk of it being the best album of the year, but only after my first listen I don't see it toppling Blueberry Boat for me, but we'll see. One listen isn't nearly enough to make a call like that anyway.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah I like Funeral aswell, but I can't see it as album of the year. It's a very cool record though.

[CommieCanada]

i have been listening to the new(est) Dashboard Confessional album. decent tunes

[thatoneguy587]

guys check this out it is great copy and paste this in your browser metalisgood.proboards28.com

I checked out Afghan Wings today. They are awesome. I just tried to vote for them in the top 100 thing but I missed the chance, as it closed. :(

Afghan Whigs.

Haha, that's strange. I always thought it was wings, even after i had the album. :lol:

[Tangy zizzle]

Hehe. :)

[asymm]

Interpol - Antics (LP)
It's seems very good, a nice gradual progression without staying too close to their success on Turn on the Bright Lights. I'm impressed with how they handled the expectations/pre-hype. This solid sophomore effort allows me to believe that Interpol will be producing great music for at least a few more albums...

[Iai]

Agreed. It's strange the amount of importance placed on second albums right now. The Strokes, The Vines, Interpol, even Coldplay - they seem to be living and dying by their second albums.

According to one of my "rock & roll elitest" friends, Coldplay's third album is going to be "the biggest thing since The Beatles".

[Jimmy_The_Exploder]

Yeh i agree - second album's seem to be the big decider these days. I reckon its because there were so many solid debuts appearing around 2000 to 2002. They all seemed so full of energy and youth (ie, the vines, interpol, kings of leon, the libertines, the strokes, etc) and I think people are expecting them to keep on creating 'virulent' music (when the bands are wanting to progress to a more mature sound).

But the new interpol album is fantatsic, they have really progressed (they sound more like an early cure or U2 now instead of joy division) and they've made a lot more use of their intruments this time (lots of weird feedback effects and such). I just wish it would have happened with the vines, because their second album was a major disappointment :upset:

[Tangy zizzle]

People (not just here, but critics and commentators) seem to be lumping Interpol in with all these other bands like the Strokes, The Hives, Coldplay etc... I don't like it personally. I mean, Interpol are a phenomenal band but I don't see the reason to lump them with these others.

Cry cry cry.

[Tomahawk]

Well... none of them are very original.

But other than that, they don't sound alike, no.

[Little Man being Erased]

I also, have been diggin' Interpol's new record Antics. I have been looking forward to it for so long and it hasn't disappointed. I've listened to it a fair bit already and I think its getting better with each listen. Now I just can't wait until they come back to Australia for a tour.

[br3ad_man]

Theyre a big rumour for Big Day Out. Lets hope they do it.

[Happymeal]

Can someone introduce me to Tomahawk and Fantomas? I'm still a stranger to Patton, really.



I'm waiting for the Team Sleep album to come out:p

[sugar kane]

i've been diggin; pedro the lion and bright eyes.

i heard my brother playing the new interpol the other day, it sounded awesome. i should give it a spin sometime.

[CommieCanada]

Refused's The Shape of Punk To Come has been on repeat the last few days

[Tapeworm]

Theyre a big rumour for Big Day Out. Lets hope they do it.
And if so, let's hope they play a sideshow in Brissy.

I've been heavily digging The Cure and Modest Mouse.

[Happymeal]

I'm rediscovering Frou Frou and Turin Brakes.

[Little Man being Erased]

Theyre a big rumour for Big Day Out. Lets hope they do it.

Yes, that would be pleasant. And as Tapeworm said, a sideshow would be even better.

[Tomahawk]

Can someone introduce me to Tomahawk and Fantomas? I'm still a stranger to Patton, really.
If you're just getting into Patton related stuff, then Faith No More and Mr Bungle are much better than Tomahawk and Fantomas. But...

Tomahawk songs:
Rape This Day
Laredo
Mayday
Birdsong
When the Stars Begin to Fall
God Hates a Coward

Fantomas songs:
Page 19
Page 9
Experiment in Terror
Charade
Rosemary's Baby

[Happymeal]

Thanks man. I think I've heard Faith No More when I was still 10, but I never really paid much attention to them. I'll check the other two out too.

[br3ad_man]

My favourite Patton project is Fantomas. Get the ones Tomahawk said plus "The Godfather" and "Page 29". I have 3 FNM albums I think they are waaayyy overrated, I don't see whats so amazing about them.

[Dark Hero]

A band called Cherry Poppin' Daddies.

[pixiesfanyo]

Circle Takes the Square.

[Iai]

I have 3 FNM albums I think they are waaayyy overrated, I don't see whats so amazing about them.

Which ones? Album of The Year and King For A Day are pretty over-rated by the Pattonheads.

[Iai]

And by the way, I've been digging Asian Dub Foundation lately. Wayyyy overlooked band.

[Happymeal]

^I liked them a while back. They're trippy fast and cool. I rarely listen to them nowadays though..


I finally bought Loveless by the way. Awesome.

[CommieCanada]

i have been listening to nothing but Elliott Smith

[Tangy zizzle]

The Arcade Fire have impressed me a lot. A damm fine band if ya' ask me.

[br3ad_man]

Which ones? Album of The Year and King For A Day are pretty over-rated by the Pattonheads.

And by the way, I've been digging Asian Dub Foundation lately. Wayyyy overlooked band.

I've got Angel Dust, King For A Day and Live At Brixton.

ADF are awesome, one of Ed 'Obrien's favourite bands. He thinks that their guitarist is the best guitarist in England. Like you said, way overlooked.

[the camera smiles]

The Arcade Fire have impressed me a lot. A damm fine band if ya' ask me.

i agree. my brother saw them in Canada, and talked to them. And it was great cause they wished me happy birthday. they are awesome.

[Tangy zizzle]

Nothing new has been pleasuring me lately.

I've been listenin to a lot of mclusky, The Scientist, AFI and Consonant.

[OrbDragon]

I've been enjoying The Cramps, Beck, Soft Machine and Hot Snakes (who I just got into) out...I'm into outrageous music.

Right now I'm listening to Ani DiFranco...can't get enough of her. I heard she and Damien Rice went to Thailand and Burma to work with activists. I sure hope they will collab in the near future.

[br3ad_man]

Hot Snakes rule. That would be awesome to have a collab. between Damien and Ani. I'm going to Thailand in November, they'd better be there when I get there :p

[Iai]

I've got Angel Dust, King For A Day and Live At Brixton.

ADF are awesome, one of Ed 'Obrien's favourite bands. He thinks that their guitarist is the best guitarist in England. Like you said, way overlooked.

I saw them supporting Radiohead. :)

[br3ad_man]

Nice! I wish Radiohead would come back to Australia, and play a show near where I live...:(

[Tomahawk]

They were here just a few months ago dude.

[Little Man being Erased]

But they didn't play in Brisbane. I had to get my *** all the way to Sydney to see them.

[br3ad_man]

I would have had to fly down to Sydney. Since I'm only 15, it wouldn't have been easy to afford.






Everyone who has a good taste in music, go to Rock & Metal and vote for Opeth on the Ultimate Metal Band poll

[Happymeal]

^I voted for 'em.

Just listened to Bleeding Kansas(promoted by Buddy), they're mighty cool.

[sugar kane]

appleseed cast and the velvet underground.

[Happymeal]

Awesome band, Buddy. They get progressive on some parts too.. kewl

By the way, is that a full-length they're releasing? The Secret I mean.

Me too actually.

I just watched Good Will Hunting again so i'm in Elliott mode. :)

[the great discord]

I've been listening to acoustic singer/songwriter in general a lot lately, Dallas Green has been playing since I got home from school.

I think I just missed my chance at seeing them live with Pretty Girls Make Graves. :(

Lately, I've been listenging to some indie pop- Belle & Sebastian, Beulah; along with some Mirah and Interpol's "Antics".

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm getting back into Tool, after having not listened to them for about a year. I've been listening to Lateralus a bit. Awesome stuff, can't wait for a new album.

[asymm]

Just bought a few albums... all 80s stuff

Tom Waits
The Stone Roses
Galaxie 500
Violent Femmes
REM

[JuicyFruitGuy]

Just bought Queens of the Stone Age - Rated R and its freakin awesome!

and I was gettin tired of Franz Ferdinand, until I saw them live the other night and they sounded better then they did on their album hehe... they played with The Evaporators, (Nardwuar's Band) and they're awesome 2... I can't find their album of course, but chek em out'

[clown_phobia]

These cds i have played lately.

Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix
This is amazing.

Led Zeppelin: Led Zeppelin
This is great! My favourite led zep album.

Led Zeppelin II
Second only to their debut, this album kicks nearly as much ***. Whole Lotta love is my favourite song on this album.

Nirvana: In Utero
A great follow up to the epic Nevermind. My favourite songs are Heart Shaped Box and All Apologies.

Nirvana: Nevermind
This is album is a classic. It combined punk, metal and alternative to form what we now call "grunge". Great riffs. Great sound. Great vocals. Everything came together well for Nirvana on this album. A real classic.

Pearl Jam: Ten
My favourite grunge album at the moment. This album has a great groove compared to Nirvana's, and the guitars are more complex and sound better than that of Nirvana. This album is another classic, and definately in my top 5 albums at the moment.

The Vines: Winning Days
I have been a huge fan of the vines lately (and i've developed a reputation here for it :)). Although, this album hasn't touched me the way it used to. Must be overplayeditis. the heavier songs combine grunge with punk excellently. The softer songs show craig nicholl's excellent songwriting capabilites. Every instrument ont his album sounds great, and this album is one of the best garage rock albums i've heard.

The Strokes: Reptilla (Single)
This is a great song. Garage rock at it's finest.

Green Day: Dookie
Green day break through into the mainstream with this excellent effort. Everything sounds great. If you like punk or any ponk (pop-punk) then you should check this out. "The holy grail of pop-punk".

And that's about it.
My top 5 albums, no specific order.

Experience Hendrix: The Best of Jimi Hendrix
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin II
Pearl Jam: Ten
Green Day: Dookie

The End.

[br3ad_man]

I'm going to have quite a few new cds soon. My birthday's on Sunday and tonight I'm buying "Blazing Arrow" by Blackalicious.

[Liberi]

Lately I've just been listening to a lot of Interpol's new album and some Captain Beefheart.

[clown_phobia]

everyone check out higher zenith. they are an excellent indie/hard rock band.

my review:
http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4984213

[Well_Respected_Man]

I Just got Great Lakes self titled CD. It's defintley alot better that anything The Sunshine Fix has done, I may even do a review on it.

[Happymeal]

I'm reminiscing to some NIN. I can't believe I sold my copy of The Fragile. *sniff*

[redmancba]

Lately I've started to get into Modest Mouse and Radiohead. I'm probabaly gonna go tonight to buy a cd from each (prob. OK Computer or Pablo Honey for Radiohead, and I'm not totally decided on the MM, I might get the new cd if I have the $$). I've been a big fan of Pedro the Lion for a few years, but just got the new cd (Achiles Heel), and have been listening to that a bunch.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I'm reminiscing to some NIN. I can't believe I sold my copy of The Fragile. *sniff*

for shame, but if you dont already, i suggest pretty hate machine to get you back into them, just one of those perfect albums...

[real4253]

I ve been listening to Weezer alot. THey re pretty cool.
Blue Album
Pinkerton
Green Album
Maladroit

[redmancba]

Just got back from the store, bought The Bends(Radiohead) and The Moon and Antarctica(Modest Mouse). I threw a little SRV (Couldn't Stand the Weather) for good measure.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

be sure to focus enough time to both the bends and moon and antartica, you'll love both as long as you dont dwell on one more then the other...

[Tapeworm]

I've been on a David Gray kick. This Year's Love = one of the best songs ever.

[sugar kane]

Bright Eyes - Fevers & Mirrors and Bjork - Debut.

[br3ad_man]

mmm Radiohead

[Master Arkam Kannon]

ive been focusing mainly on the dismemberment plan (who's emergency and i has become a top ten album for me) lately as well as modest mouse's debut and built to spill's perfect from now on...

[Happymeal]

Denaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[Dark Hero]

I've really been diggin' The Velvet Underground & Nico album.

Been listening to a lot of Buckley. My guitar teacher lent me a tab booklet, so I've been learning a bunch of his songs lately.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Denaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Tru dat.

After a long-ish period of no mp3's due to computer problems, I'm finally able to dig Isis' new album again. Soooo nice.

I've also been re-digging 27 a lot again (not related to comp problem, I gots da CDs).

Nah, I just got tired of the name.

Aimee Mann is pretty nifty. I've only heard the Magnolia soundtrack, but yeah, good stuff. Save Me is such a great song.

[Lyric-Freq]

Check these guys out - they so rock! I saw them in Vegas earlier this week and it was a fantastic set. They are on tour now, so go to http://www.bloodylovelies.com and see if they are going to be where you are. I would really so not miss this! Their new CD Some Truth and a Little Money is a must-have. You can get the CD there too. Go check them out - you'll be so glad you did.

I've been listening to alot of third eye blind as of late. really talented guys.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm getting into a lot of very soulful, very sad stuff at the moment. I'm such a cheery person.

[Happymeal]

Just bought Straylight Run's cd awhile ago. It's actually quite decent.

[Dark Hero]

Aphex Twin
Sigur Ros

[asymm]

I'm listening to happy '80s music...
like...
The Cure
Joy Division
Galaxie 500

...yeah.

[el doctor]

I just bought:
The Flaming Lips - Zaireeka
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye
Dream Theater - Live at Budokan [DVD]

[br3ad_man]

Tell me what you think of Zaireeka. It's so bloody expensive over here that the only way I'd consider it is if it was one of the best albums ever recorded. Ever.

[Tomahawk]

I downloaded Zaireeka, but I could NOT get it to start all 4 discs at exactly the same time, even with help. So I gave up.

[Luxor]

Just bought Straylight Run's cd awhile ago. It's actually quite decent.
I've never heard them, but for some reason I have in my mind that they're similar to SDRE. If they are, I'll definately be checking them out.

[Happymeal]

Actually, it's John Nolan from TBS and her sister, along with ex-Breaking Pangeaa. Maybe you were thinking of The Fire Theft?..

[Luxor]

Hmmm, no, not the band members. I mean their sound.

[Tomahawk]

I'm digging Death Cab. I think I'll buy one of their CDs tomorrow.

[el doctor]

Tell me what you think of Zaireeka. It's so bloody expensive over here that the only way I'd consider it is if it was one of the best albums ever recorded. Ever.It cost me about $20, maybe a few dollars more. I can't really say that I'm ready to give a definite opinion on it yet, as I haven't gotten through all of it. (the Dream Theater DVD has kept me occupied ;)) I will say that people who get this album expecting to hear something like Yoshimi are in for a big surprise. It still sounds like the Flaming Lips, but it's really out there. I haven't been able to do much experimenting with the discs yet. I do have all the CDs ripped to my computer, and I experimented with mixing tracks together. It's pretty cool, but it honestly takes the fun out of it by doing it on the computer. Maybe I'll try and upload some tracks or portions of songs so you can see how the 4 discs work with each other.

I'm really pretty busy lately, so I don't know how much time I'll have to experiment with this. If I give it a thorough listen soon, then maybe I'll do a review, but I'm already behind in the other 3 or 4 reviews I want to do. :o

Oh yeah, and I'm hesitant to experiment with track 6, "How Will We Know- (Futuristic Crashendos)". It experiments with some crazy frequencies and the CD (and online reviews) give warnings that it should not be played in the presence of pregnant women or infants, and it may cause naseau or disorientation.

I must hear this :eek:

[Happymeal]

Hmmm, no, not the band members. I mean their sound.

For the most part, it's post-emo. More emphasis on alt than pop-punk though, I really dig the piano parts.

[el doctor]

I must hear this :eek:
Do you have gmail? I could probably fit all 4 single versions of the song, along with a full mix of them, in one message.

[Luxor]

Maybe I'll download some songs by these guys.

[Happymeal]

Try "A Slow Descent"(it's not on the album) and "Existentialism On Prom Night".

[Tapeworm]

Ummm, I've been Elliott Smithing completely lately. I finally bought 'Elliott Smith' and 'Roman Candle'. I also got the newer Mint Chicks EP, which is very very good.

[pixiesfanyo]

I just picked up Soft Bulletin on Vinyl. It's the sex.

[asymm]

Last night I saw:
Scout Niblett
Enon
The Black Heart Procession

so I've been listening to

Scout Niblett - "I Am" LP
and
Guided By Voices - "Bee Thousand"
American Music Club - "Love Songs For Patriots"

[Happymeal]

Sadaharu (www.purevolume.com/sadaharu). Good dance-punk.

Ummm, I've been Elliott Smithing completely lately. I finally bought 'Elliott Smith' and 'Roman Candle'. I also got the newer Mint Chicks EP, which is very very good.
Fack, me too man. I can't stop listening to Elliott. I now have From A Basement..., Either/Or, Figure 8, XO and his S/T. :eek:

I'm only missing Roman Candle.

[Tangy zizzle]

Surprisingly I've been actually listening to the Pixies, and I actually, get this... like them!

I've never been very big on them, but I got Doolittle and it's a really good disc.

[br3ad_man]

I've been listening to just about everything I own this week. I'm listening to the Firey Furnaces now.

[LiZZySkYnRd7^]

A few songs I have been geeking out to for various reasons:


Poison Oak - Bright Eyes....(cant get enough of the ending)

Matchstick Men and Matchstick Cats and Dogs - (circa 1978..Brian and Michael...its about a painter named Lowry who became famous posthumously for painting simple characters)

Thats all I want to say because I'm new and I feel wierd. :rolleyes:

[Happymeal]

Only a few more hours before Crimes

/rubs hands

[asymm]

Crimes

Anybody know why The Blood Brothers picked such crappy cover art for this release? BPIB's was beautiful and perfect for the album... Crimes is just ugly.

[lilsolsman]

Fack, me too man. I can't stop listening to Elliott. I now have From A Basement..., Either/Or, Figure 8, XO and his S/T. :eek:

I'm only missing Roman Candle.

Roman Candle is cooler then the self titled one.. in my opinion of course :amaze:

[Happymeal]

I'm discovering Kasabian and I bought Crimes.

First impressions:

I haven't fully grasped the whole album yet but it seems more catered to alt/indie peeps than punks/hXc kids. I'm not that familiar to BB's older sound, but they've gotten a lot more accessible and "poppier", than say, This Adultery Is Ripe, trading some technicality and artsiness from their past works for atmosphere. I think it's a love/hate album for their fans. I'm personally liking it myself. I just notice, the vocals sound like helium overdose. His voice is even higher than before. Kewl.

I personally like the cover art:)

[Well_Respected_Man]

Do you have gmail? I could probably fit all 4 single versions of the song, along with a full mix of them, in one message.
I don't have it :upset:

[LPFanatic]

COME ON you guys! wheres the love to LP? i mean theyve gotta be one of the most unique sounding Alternate bands of all time! they're music is awesome, none sounding like anything else out there.....so WHY i ask, is NOBODY POSTING LP PRAISE!!?!?!?!?!? :upset: :confused: I DONT GET IT!
and if anyone says that im just jumpin gon the bandwaggon cuz they are a huge name, is on meth or sharpies....or both....i love this band cuz thety unique man, plain n simple....so shove it up all u haters asses :thumb:

[Happymeal]

Wow man, just wow.


And it's Alternative, not Alternate.

[Luxor]

The "Slint Reunite" thread reminded me how awesome Slint was... I'm now listening to "Spiderland".

[Little Man being Erased]

From a Basement on a Hill comes out here on the 18th and I am counting the hours. I've been listening to Elliott a lot lately and I can't wait. I've also been listening to Damien Rice a bit lately because I'm going to see him tomorrow night. Should be good times all around.

[Tomahawk]

Currently digging: Ryan Adams

Also, some dEUS, Fiery Furnaces, and Mission of Burma.
