What I've Been Digging Lately

[chiin]

any recommendation for saxon shore alike?

[Daniel!]

Agent Orange
Tom Petty
Gov't Mule

Yeh, my name is Jesus and Tequila. I'll add you, and you can rape away, so long as you allow me to rape yours (paradox!).
Yummy.

[Happymeal]

Prince Paul produced 1 track if I'm not mistaken. Nevertheless, it's such an awesome album. "Chemically Imblanced" has to be my favorite off of it.

I must've misread that off somewhere. My bad.

[Happymeal]

Today I'm really just beginning to get into the work of the Scene Creamers/Weird War people.

Sweet. I got into them before The Make Up, but I've concluded that their stuff's not as solid. (plus they don't have Steve Gamboa) They're awesome nonetheless. "Grand Fraud" and "AK-47" would be perfect for 70's-themed parties.

[EightMilesHigh]

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Streetcore

I'm buying this album. Awesome stuff.

That album is so good. Get Down Moses is so funky.

Agent Orange


I've been meaning to get into Agent Orange, I hear they do Descendents-style stuff.

I'm digging my usual old soul/r & b stuff today, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, etc.

[Daniel!]

Lots and lots of Against Me.

I've been meaning to get into Agent Orange, I hear they do Descendents-style stuff.
Check out them and the Adolscents. You won't regret it.

[sweboy]

Protest The Hero still blows my mind. Been digging Sigur Rós's Takk lately too.

Also, Jaya The Cat's song "Twist The Cap" is very hot at the moment.

[asymm]

Arve Henriksen - Sakuteiki
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Henry's Dream

[asdf]

Oysterhead, Oysterhead, Oysterhead.

[Zappa]

Still really loving Moondog (1956) by Moondog. I wish I had someone to share this with.

[Bukowski]

The Big Boys - Fat Elvis
Ghost Mice - europe
Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics

First impression of the new Flips is quite good, it's better than Yoshimi fo' sho'. New Ghost Mice is awesome. And the Big Boys are my favorite band just now.

[Dog]

Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics
Me too. I'm not sure what I think of it yet.

[Kyle]

I've been listening to the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's track a bit recently, I havn't decided whether I dig it or not yet. It's certainly different.

[Bartender]

Still really loving Moondog (1956) by Moondog. I wish I had someone to share this with.

That sounds like an interesting album, going off the litte descriptions on Amazon and RYM and such.


Anyway, I've been digging little new for quite a while now, just going over older stuff, like The Beta Band, Refused, Elvis Costello, Alabama 3, Iron Maiden, etc. I have been liking Ginger's new album though, and earlier today I checked out a bit of that Vitalic album that was posted. It's pretty good to start off with, but seems to lose a bit of steam by the end.

[morrissey]

Justin Timberlake

edit: Costello, nice Tender.

[hellogoodbyegirl]

Okay my new band is hello goodbye and the song i like is shimmy shimmy quater turn theyre new they got dicovered at swxsw (south west by south west) in texas they are maybe the best pop/indie band ive herad so far

[BillCosby]

is that like Lollalollapalooza


lololololololopolooza

[EightMilesHigh]

T. Rex - Electric Warrior
Iggy Pop - A Million In Prizes: The Iggy Pop Anthology*
And some random David Bowie songs.

So, yeah, I'm feeling glam rock-ish today.

*Anyone have this? It's a new Iggy Pop anthology that came out in late 2005, two discs covering everything from The Stooges's first album in 1969 to his latest solo album from 2003. It's a really good selection, IMO, for someone getting into Mr. Pop.

[ATM]

Best Of's usually suck.

This will be the third.

The Evens

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

A Frames = <3.

And I've been digging cheesy 90s music like Snap!, Seal and Haddaway.

Talking Heads - Remain In Light

[BillCosby]

Today is a Johnny Cash day.

More days should be.

[Zappa]

A compilation of late 60s and early 70s funk called Funk Drops: Breaks, Nuggets And Rarities

Phineas Newborn's Here is Phineas is a really cool virtuoso piano album. Recommended to any straight ahead bebop fan.

On a more personal level: The last couple days I've been experimenting with different keyboard instruments and pedals, which is a common pasttime of mine. One combo I've come upon that really moved me today was running some nice synth pad sounds on my Alesis Micron through a 60s Heathkit fuzzbox that really makes them scream. Then I've got my digital piano through a 300ms delay, to add some far-off booming melody.

[ATM]

Im upping the Dresden right now, guys.

[BillCosby]

score. thanks, man.

[ATM]

Argh, I tried twice and it keeps failing.

God, Funky Kingston by Toots and the Maytals RULES.

[Little Man being Erased]

Pulp - Different Class
It took me quite a while to get into this album, but it was worth it. Fantastic album.

[Tangy zizzle]

Flaming Lips - The Day Andy Gibb Died

I don't know what this is, ep/compilation/bootleg or what, but it's pretty cool. It has a basically unintelligable Life on Mars (Bowie, eedjits) cover which is all spooky and weird.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Isis - Panopticon

Post-metal goodness, and Finnish electro psych-folk weirdness.

[Daniel!]

Damn right, man. If you ever get the chance to see This Bike, make sure you do. It was such a fun show.

The definatley seem like they would be fun live. Most PIX bands do.

[Bukowski]

Folk Punk = fun. I'm seeing Against Me in March, that should also be great, although i've got a math exam the next day.

[el doctor]

Robert Pollard - From a Compound Eye

I've really been digging this since its release. Rather than trying to emulate the past or aim for radio play, Pollard just went and threw together a mix of some damn good songs.

[sketchyjoe]

Damn right, man. If you ever get the chance to see This Bike, make sure you do. It was such a fun show.
I'm seeing them on Thursday.



I've been listening to a lot of Johnny Cash lately. I saw the film the other day. It was good but the singing sections were heads and shoulders above the rest of it for me.

Folk Punk = fun. I'm seeing Against Me in March, that should also be great, although i've got a math exam the next day.

[Little Man being Erased]

Reel Big Fish <3



Still digging The Essential Johnny Cash.

[Zappa]

Harvey Danger - Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?

I thought about their big hit the other day for no real reason. "Flagpol Sitta" was sooo snotty when I was 10.

At that point the other day, I thought to myself "self, I wonder how easily you could download that album." So I looked for it, and it was quite easy indeed.

I'm on like the third track, and this is pretty sweet, honestly.

[Happymeal]

Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings - Naturally

Fecking fantastic. Not the best soul/funk album but it's got enough soul and funk to keep you coming back for more. So yeah, I've been digging them and Mudhoney.

[i am thw walrus]

For the last week I've been mostly listening to the Beatles and Morrissey. a little modest mouse and the cure as well.

[Zappa]

So after three songs that Harvey Danger album makes you comatose. But those first three tracks, man, not bad.

[Little Man being Erased]

Haha, classic.

[ATM]

Wow, Ween are amazing.

[BillCosby]

I downloaded Calexico's Hot Rail today.
Hot Cross' Cryonics is pretty dope.
And I've been diggin the 6 or 7 RJD2 songs I have.

[asymm]

Robert Pollard - From a Compound Eye

I've really been digging this since its release. Rather than trying to emulate the past or aim for radio play, Pollard just went and threw together a mix of some damn good songs.
Right on! I love this release, Pollard is the man.

Still diggin'
Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies
Wilderness - Vessel States

[ATM]

Yea RJD2 is dope. He just played here in DC and it sold out :-/ I was planning on going.

[Little Man being Erased]

Ryan Adams - Rock 'N' Roll
My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves

[Doctor D.]

Wow, Ween are amazing.

Indeed to the max power.

I'm diggin:

The Flaming Lips -At War With The Mystics
GWAR - Carnival Of Chaos
Afrika Bambataa - Planet Rock- The Album
J. Dilla (RIP) - Donuts

[Jawaharal]

Pixies and destory destroy destroy

[ATM]

That Afrika Bambataa album is nice. Good to do the robot to.

[Zmev]

Indeed.

[ATM]

Indeed.

I got GodWeenSatan and I am completely blown away.

[Zmev]

I got GodWeenSatan and I am completely blown away.

Well from there you have about 3 choices.

You could progress the cds Ween released by getting the Pod next. It has many tracks like GWS but it way lo-fi and some of the songs aren't great.

You could go for their 4th cd, Chocolate and Cheese, if you enjoy their songwriting ability and want the disc with their biggest hit (Push th Lil Daisies)

Or you could get Pure Guava, reguarded as their best but probably weirdest, and noisiest.

[asymm]

Prefuse 73 - Surrounded By Silence
Skyphone - Fabula

[Little Man being Erased]

The Who - The Who Sell Out

Not entirely digging this. I think if all the little "product plugs" were removed, it would be much better. It just gets annoying as it is.

[br3ad_man]

Dirty Three - Cinder

"Sad Sexy" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

For sure.


I ordered a Hot Cross poster and Fused Together In Revolving Doors by The Red Chord. All for $13US including shipping. Not bad.

[rbv]

I'm digging Some By Sea that I got from the electric groove blog that someone posted on here but has recently been deleted.

it's pretty cool, sounds kind of like Arcade Fire except less rocky, I like it.

[br3ad_man]

Have any of you guys ever heard of Rustcycle?

[rbv]

Have any of you guys ever heard of Rustcycle?
he's awesome

[br3ad_man]

heh, I just saw the thread...he sent me a myspace message asking me to review his cd and wondered if anyone had heard of him.

[Little Man being Erased]

...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes

**** man. I haven't listened to this album in waaaaay too damn long. It's still as awesome as I remember.

I feel sorry for you yanks that missed out on the bonus track "Blood Rites."

[br3ad_man]

and "Invocation"

[OrbDragon]

The Flaming Lips -At War With The Mystics


What? Has it leaked?

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

It has leaked.

I have yet to acquire it, though.

[OrbDragon]

Urgh! I downloaded Free Radicals out of curiosity...and it's pretty dreadful. Wayne, you are in The Flaming Lips, not in Spoon!

I also don't like the production, is so cold...it doesn't give me that fuzzy warm feeling inside when I usually hear their records.

I'm reluctant now to hear the rest of the album, but I'm still going to get it once it's released. No more downloading for now, 'cause I can only take one disappointment at a time :(

[br3ad_man]

The single for it is really bad. I'm probably not going to buy it, there's stacks of Flaming Lips records I don't own yet and I lean more towards liking their older stuff better anyway.

I just hope they tour Australia.

No waiz you saw Iggy Pop this year.

Today I'm digging a good dose of Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, and Minor Threat. Furious hardcore punk ftw.

[Little Man being Erased]

and "Invocation"
Truth. Forgot about that. Such an awesome intro.


Billy Bragg - Talking With the Taxman about Poetry

I can't get enough folk and country music at the moment.

[pixiesfanyo]

I think it's really funny that the singer of Kayo Dot loved Ween when he was little.

(in response to the ween talking)

[Dog]

I'm pretty bummed that I don't like the new 'Lips album.


Television - Adventure
Calvin Johnson - Before The Dream Faded
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
and right now it's Destroyer - Rubies (thanks asymm, this is good stuff)

Robert Pollard - From a Compound Eye

I've really been digging this since its release. Rather than trying to emulate the past or aim for radio play, Pollard just went and threw together a mix of some damn good songs.
Yeah, solid album.

[Zappa]

Mykill Miers (the Hitchcock of Hip-Hop) - The Second Coming

This is a rap album I've had for a long time, but never heard anything about. It's got great beats. I'm digging it today.

Also on the playlist today was Rembrant Pussyhorse by Butthole Surfers and Neu!'s self-titled.

[YDload]

I think it's really funny that the singer of Kayo Dot loved Ween when he was little.

(in response to the ween talking)

In other weird musicians-who-like-other-musicians news: the lead singer of Dillinger Escape Plan hardly likes any heavy music at all. His favorite bands are My Bloody Valentine and The Dresden Dolls :amaze:

Also, what I'm diggin:

The Fall of Troy- Doppleganger

This really isn't that bad, just because it's not as good as the S/T and has a few inferior remixes of songs from that first album. "Act One, Scene One" is a great song, especially the sudden appearance of some Justin Timberlake-style vocals for a verse. I dunno how to explain it, but it's really not that bad of an album.

Also: Dinosaur Jr.- "Thumb" This is still an amazing song, so hopeless yet beautiful, with a great outro solo.

[BillCosby]

Oh my gah last time they came here the show was so amazing.

They were supporting for some shitty band Greeley Estates. It was a great moment watching at least half of all the attendees leave before they even got onstage (I was one of them :) ).

[Tangy zizzle]

Silver Jews have been pumpin' on my stereo.

[Little Man being Erased]

Just finished digging ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - Worlds Apart. It might not be quite as good as Source Tags and Codes, but it's still excellent.

About to start listening to some Bright Eyes.

[Tangy zizzle]

Listening to Strung Out right now, always good.

Chucked on Modey Lemon - Thunder + Lightning couple hours ago, it's still fun to listen to. Like Whirlwind Heat, Stooges and G-funk Railroad all exploding together. wooooooooo

[NineBitFable]

Neutral Milk Hotel and Hum. And Swervedriver. QOTSA also. Joy Divison fits in there too.

[bubbledeath]

I'm really liking the new leaks (Flaming Lips, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grandaddy, ect ect.) and The Veronicas.

[pixiesfanyo]

Ry Cooder - Chavez Ravine
Thrice - The Illusion of Safety

[Tangy zizzle]

Chavez Ravine is a great, great album. Seeing him live was so cool. Mad props pixiesfan

[Little Man being Erased]

Joy Division - Closer
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot

I'm really starting to love Wilco.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah they really are a great band. I find YHF a tad overrated though, but then again A Ghost is Born is my favourite.

[BillCosby]

Ted Leo - Tell Balgeary, Balgury is Dead

The alternate versions of songs released elsewhere are average, but I love the other songs.

Jamie Lidell - Multiply

This was in the mailing list, I'm really diggin' it a lot.

And I'm diggin the new FLips more than some of you seem to be.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah they really are a great band. I find YHF a tad overrated though, but then again A Ghost is Born is my favourite.
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is currently the only Wilco album I own, so I have no basis for comparison, but I really enjoy it. Eventually I'll get into the others too.

[Zmev]

Royksopp - the understainding

[Little Man being Erased]

Radiohead - OK Computer
Black Mountain - Black Mountain

Haven't listened to Black Mountain in quite a while. Pretty good album though.

[br3ad_man]

ewww, gross.



australian too.

Hmm, I like them, they're like a fun version of Kelly Clarkson. Maybe it's just that they pwn most of the stuff on the radio I have to listen to at work for hours on end.

This cool epic psych prog metalcore band added my on myspace. You guys might like them. I only listened to one song, but yeah, it was good.

www.mysapce.com/clerickill

I'm listening to maudlin now. Birth Pains of Astral Projection is one of the best songs ever.

[pixiesfanyo]

Chavez Ravine is a great, great album. Seeing him live was so cool. Mad props pixiesfan

It must've been. I've been casually digging Chavez for a few months now, after a recommendation. It seems like it is a slow grower in my case, because originally I thought it was just a good album, but now I'm understanding why alot of people I know said it was their favorite release of '05.

Today I'm digging Cyne's - Evolution Fight. I think I talked about it before, but it's some really solid rap. Great words, great production, and great messages. If you want a sample download Haze.

[Jawaharal]

I'm seeing wilco in march I think.

I've been digging envy and some kodan armada.

[JonM]

Yo, Wilco is coming to my SCHOOL!

[asymm]

Weird choices for me so far today...

Earth - Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method
Sunn 0))) - Black One

[Bartender]

MC5 - Kick Out the Jams
Sleater Kinney - The Woods

Both slightly disappointing, in their own ways.

I've also been listening, and re-listening, and re-listening, to A Night on the Town With the Rat Pack. For a cheap, less than serious-looking release, it's so ridiculously good.

[Jawaharal]

Yo, Wilco is coming to my SCHOOL!
The only band that came to my school was some disney boy band in 4th grade. =(

[ATM]

The only band that came to my school was some disney boy band in 4th grade. =(

Moffits?

JonM: :chug:

As for me, I've been digging:

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
Egyptian Lover - On the Nile (funniest thing ever)

[Tangy zizzle]

Weird choices for me so far today...

Earth - Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method
Sunn 0))) - Black One

I thought you were staunch anti-metal?

[Little Man being Erased]

Pulp again.

[Tangy zizzle]

Pulp, Black Mountain, Dylan, Radiohead, Wilco... such good stuff Little Man.

Today (well all 1 hour that I've been awake) has so far been dedicated to the Dean Martin collection I found on my floor. Good.

[Little Man being Erased]

Thanks Tangy, I do like good stuff don't I.

[asymm]

I thought you were staunch anti-metal?
Haha, no no no. I'm definitely not against metal. I don't listen to it very often so it might've seemed that way. This droning stuff is barely metal anyway.

[Tangy zizzle]

Haha, no no no. I'm definitely not against metal. I don't listen to it very often so it might've seemed that way. This droning stuff is barely metal anyway.

I hate that drone crap, it's just not cricket. Get some good metal ie. Mastodon, Burnt by the Sun, High on Fire into ya'.

[EightMilesHigh]

Pulp again.

I'm just getting into Pulp, they were so awesome.

[Kurtz]

Blur - Parklife

[ert90]

Hmm, first post . . .

I've been digging:

The Arcade Fire
Nick Drake
Iron & Wine
The Smiths
The Subways
Less Than Jake

[Daniel!]

I found a nifty mash-up type thing between the Beatles and the Beastie Boys that I'm enjoying. I probably won't listen to it more than one or two times though.

[sketchyjoe]

Phil Ochs

Particularly the albums I Ain't Marching Anymore and Tape From California

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm just getting into Pulp, they were so awesome.
They surely were. It took me a little while to get into Different Class, but now I luuurrrve it.


Hmm, first post . . .

I've been digging:

The Arcade Fire
Nick Drake
The Smiths
Awesome stuff there. And welcome.


I dug Billy Bragg - Back to Basics, and now I'm diggin' on Lullabies to Paralyze.

[Dog]

The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms -- Man, I love this album.

right now i'm listening to The Embarrassment - Heyday: 1979-1983 and it is GREAT. It's post punk that mixies the Feelies nervousness with the Replacements' kickassy...ness. Definitely worth checking out if your a fan of that 80's american underground sound.

[Robert Crumb]

My phone has been ringing all afternoon and I don't wanna answer it. So I've been drowning it out with the Kinks.

[Happymeal]

I've been playing Propagandhi, Jello Biafra and Melvins, and Streetlight Manifesto alllllll day.

[Daniel!]

Daniel Johnston - Retired Boxer

I'm downloading a bunch more of his stuff right now. I'm definatley going to check out the documentary on him when it comes out.

[Dog]

Daniel Johnston - Retired Boxer

I'm downloading a bunch more of his stuff right now. I'm definatley going to check out the d0cumentary on him when it comes out.
Gooood good good. This guy is ace. Be sure you get 1990 and Yip/Jump Music; my two personal favorites of his. I'm also anticipating the documentary.

[Daniel!]

I'll be sure to check those two out.

[ATM]

I've got 1990 :-D

Anyway, today I've been diggin'

The Replacements
Pavement
Why?
GZA

[Doctor D.]

And I'm diggin the new FLips more than some of you seem to be.

I like it alot. I'm surprised about the negative feedback on it.

[pixiesfanyo]

Saul Williams has a way with words. I think everyone should check him out already.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I've been addicted to putting on Blonde Redhead - Misery is a Butterfly before going beddie-bye lately.

I'm currently giving my first proper listen to the Pink Mountaintops at the moment. Dig.

And some other minor, partial-album digs of the recent past:

Yeti (yay, finally found some!)
Outkast - Aquemini
All Girl Summer Fun Band
Spirit - Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus

[Little Man being Erased]

More Queens of the Stone Age. Now it's Songs for the Deaf.

[asdf]

Defiance, Ohio - Because I'm prepairing for the concert on friday
Sigur Ros - Because I'm prepairing for the concert on saturday
Estradasphere - Because I'm learning a song for my school's variety show.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Estradasphere - Because I'm learning a song for my school's variety show.

Awesome. What song?

[asdf]

Awesome. What song?
The Transformation for the album "It's understood"

I just hope it works out. The rest of the musicians I'm playing with aren't as dedicated to it as me. We've got 3 weeks until tryouts, and we haven't even praticed together yet.

[EonBlueApcolyps]

Wu-Tang Clan
Sigur Ros
An Albatross

As far as the first two go, and Im sure its true with most of you, once you see a band live you listen to them much more.

[Doctor D.]

Wu-Tang Clan
Sigur Ros
An Albatross

As far as the first two go, and Im sure its true with most of you, once you see a band live you listen to them much more.

Thats 100% fact. Happend to me after seeing GWAR. I wish I could join you in saying I saw the Clan, but they came and it was 21 and up.

[Zappa]

Wu-Tang Clan
Sigur Ros
An Albatross

As far as the first two go, and Im sure its true with most of you, once you see a band live you listen to them much more.

I know a guy who calls them Anal Batross. Clever.

[Happymeal]

Now that^ is a cool band name.

[biografiend]

Maxine Darren.

A pretty cool 60's girlpop singer. My friend (who pretty much knows everything about 60's-70's girl pop and no wave) says that she is only 12 years old, which is pretty amazing and kindof creepy. She has an excellent voice. How Can I Hide It From My Heart? is an awesome song.

[BillCosby]

Femi Kuti - Africa Shrine

This is pretty cool so far.

[Little Man being Erased]

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings and Food
Gang of Four - Solid Gold

These two bands are becoming two of my favourites of all time.

[ATC]

Eyayuh Beluah- Sentum Ayechwalu (North African music) - It's incredibly unique and textured in a really cool way. Not the generic Moroccan-type music but more progressive.

Ismael Rivera - Vaca Lechere - Not a lot of people can write a salsa song about milking a cow and make it sound good.

[sketchyjoe]

Madeline - KIssing and Dancing
Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison
Bob Dylan - Bringin' It All Back Home

[Bartender]

I hate that drone crap, it's just not cricket.

There is some good stuff in amongst there.

[br3ad_man]

Pretty much nothing but Maudlin of the Well. Bath is just so great.

[penelope weird hands]

The Frogs and The Mercury Program.

[Tomahawk]

I've listened to very little besides Crowded House for about a week now. Every album. They're becoming one of my favourite bands ever.

Also got in a few spins of the new Kate Bush album, it's really very good. Maybe my favourite album of hers.

[Iai]

The new Mogwai is very very good.

Now for the new Flips.

[br3ad_man]

I should order the new Mogwai soon.

[Little Man being Erased]

Lagwagon - Let's Talk About Feelings

And now, Radiohead - Hail to the Thief

[OrbDragon]

I'm digging:

The Kooks - Inside In And Inside Out
Annie - Anniemal
We Are Scientists - With Love And Squalor
Millionaire - Paradisiac
Kashmir - No Balance Palace

I really like the We Are Scientists record. I'm gonna see Kashmir tomorrow, really excited. If you haven't checked out their new album, you should right away!

[pixiesfanyo]

^ Funny story, I'm going to Norway, and the day before I get there the National Bank is playing in Oslo.

:(

[OrbDragon]

Norway is music heaven Europe right now...be sure to get alot of good records there. Motorpsycho's "Timothy's Monster" is one I really recommend.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm gonna see Kashmir tomorrow, really excited. If you haven't checked out their new album, you should right away!
Mmmmm, I really need to check that out. Kashmir are ace.

[Zappa]

Another Green World (by Brian Eno) really is one of those miraculous records.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah that is a pretty cool album. They turned cruddy after it though.

[BillCosby]

Dr. Dre - 2001

The singles are amazing.

[ATM]

^ Funny story, I'm going to Norway, and the day before I get there the National Bank is playing in Oslo.

:(

What brings you to Norway? I lived in Oslo for 3 years.

As for my diggage:

Why? - Elephant Eyelash
Pavement - Wowee Zowee

[Mattfanatic]

this charming man

[Zappa]

Alex Drosen - Sit and Melt

Been a while.

[Daniel!]

Charge - Universal Tribe
Lion of Judah - Soul Power

I decided to randomly download 2 albums by bands that the hardcore forum was talking about. Suprisingly, both these bands totally kick a'ss.

[Zmev]

P.O.D. - Payable on Death

[pixiesfanyo]

What brings you to Norway? I lived in Oslo for 3 years.


Dad's work.

[Little Man being Erased]

Kashmir - Zitilites

Thanks to Orb's mention.

[Kurtz]

88 Fingers Louie - Back on the Streets

[Little Man being Erased]

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Yeah, so it was a rap/hip-hop car trip.

Then I listened to The Smiths' Meat is Murder.

Now I'm listening to Tom Waits' Swordfishtrombones.

[OrbDragon]

Gorillaz - Demon Days

The great thing about this album is that it has alot of fresh original ideas, yet the content of the music has this really old skool feel to it. When I heard "Dirty Harry" for the first time, Grandmaster Flash is the first thing that crossed my mind.

[Little Man being Erased]

I was listening to that the other day. Very enjoyable.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Beastie Boys - Paul's Boutique
Eminem - The Slim Shady LP
Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Yeah, so it was a rap/hip-hop car trip.

Then I listened to The Smiths' Meat is Murder.

Now I'm listening to Tom Waits' Swordfishtrombones.
I've been listening to Deltron 3030 and Common's Be on my way to sleep most nights for the past couple of weeks. Very relaxing, especially the former.

[morrissey]

I love Be so much

[Dave de Sylvia]

I love it like vaguely jazzy rap that I love.

[Zebra]

Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production of Eggs

The album is not very known, but it is amazing. I love the hard drumming and sharp violin line on 'Fake Palindromes.'

[EightMilesHigh]

Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs
And some random Roxy Music

[Dave de Sylvia]

Syd Barrett - The Madcap Laughs
And some random Roxy Music
Well you're half right.

[sketchyjoe]

The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God


I forgot how amazing a songwriter Shane McGowan is. I love this album.

[Dog]

Eh, Everything Wrong is Imaginary is ok but nothing great. Maybe it'll grow on me.

The Embarrassment - Death Travels West
Nick Cave and the 'Seeds - The Good Son

Man, The Good Son is one of Cave's albums that I've totally underappreciated until now. I used to not dig it too much, but my past couple of go arounds with it have been really enjoyable.

[Zmev]

The Beatles - Revolver
Daft Punk - Discovery

[br3ad_man]

Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit

Pretty dissapointing.

[EightMilesHigh]

Man, The Good Son is one of Cave's albums that I've totally underappreciated until now. I used to not dig it too much, but my past couple of go arounds with it have been really enjoyable.

The Good Son is a good album. I really like the song Lucy.

I'm into a bunch of old Black Sabbath today.

[ATM]

The Sea and Cake - Oui
Built to Spill - Keep It Like a Secret
Hot Chip - The Warning (very Kid-Aish)
Pants Yell! - Songs For Siblings

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God


I forgot how amazing a songwriter Shane McGowan is. I love this album.
Such memory malfunctions should be insurable.

[ATM]

Dad's work.

enjoy the women there :)

[moosepirate]

Lilys because Kurt Heasley is just a cool guy. I'm a fanboy I don't care. Everything they do is great.

I've heard Eccsame the Photon Band and the EP A Brief History of Amazing Letdowns and like them, and I'm trying to warm up to the rest of their discography. I wish they'd stick with one style.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I've been listening to the same damn Guns N' Roses song for far too long. Somebody tell me to stop so I can be defiant.

[Against Miik!]

What have I been diggin lately? Well as far as stuff that i've just gotten into, I would say Death Cab and Guster. I went to go visit a school and my tour guide was totally into Guster and she raved about a concert that was there earlier this year, so I checked em out.

[i am thw walrus]

The Mountain Goats, and Johnny Thunders now.

[Zebra]

Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit

Pretty dissapointing.

That's what I thought at first. Then I realized that I kept on making constant comparisons to previous albums and couldn't enjoy the music. Once I listened to the album without comparing it to the bands other albums it's actually pretty damned good.

[Kurtz]

Coldplay - X&Y

Oh my god, I never checked them out earlier, but I'm loving this. Holy crap.

[Little Man being Erased]

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

**** yeah. Just picked this up today. A few songs into my first time through and it's fantastic.

Mr. Zizzle comes through with the goods again.

[ATM]

Is that the new one?

[JonM]

Coldplay - X&Y

Oh my god, I never checked them out earlier, but I'm loving this. Holy crap.
Oh wow. Wow wow wow. That album is SO BAD compared to the first two. But I think it's pretty bad objectively, too. You better listen to the other ones. Your standards are going to go up significantly.

[EightMilesHigh]

^^^What he said. Kurtz, check out A Rush Of Blood To The Head.

[Against Miik!]

Or Parachutes, which was there best album. Basically, they've just gone downhill.

[Kurtz]

Alright, will do. Clocks and The Scientist were off A Rush of Blood, right? I like those ones too, and the only thing I remember from Parachutes was that Yellow song. But in general I'm reallyreallyreally liking Coldplay.

[Sleeper]

Lately i've been listening to:

Dredg-Catch Without Arms

I've heard lots of good things about this band since i've been on mx, I find Catch Without Arms to be more of a softer album than what they have previously released. My favorite tracks would have to be Not that Simple, Zebraskin, Planting Seeds.


Interpol-Turn on the Bright Lights

I was turned onto these guys from a freind of mine, I first heard there album Antics, i was pretty dissapointed with that album. Then i heard there other album Turn on the Bright Lights, and I absolutely love this album. Alot of the guitar work is pretty good, and i'm a big fan of linear style drumming. My favorite songs would have to be Obstacle 1, NYC, PDA, and Stella Was a Driver and She Was Always Down.

Hella-Hold Your Horse Is

This is a good band to listen to once in a while, I can't seem to listen to them over and over. I'm a big fan of Zach Hill's drumming in Hella, not to much in Team Sleep. The guitar work and drumming go together pretty well, some really good songs on this album. My favorites would have to be Biblical Violence, Cafeteria Bananas, and 1-800-Ghost-Dance.

[Against Miik!]

Everythings Not Lost is another good song off of Parachutes. Actually, the whole album is good too.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Hella-Hold Your Horse Is

This is a good band to listen to once in a while, I can't seem to listen to them over and over. I'm a big fan of Zach Hill's drumming in Hella, not to much in Team Sleep. The guitar work and drumming go together pretty well, some really good songs on this album. My favorites would have to be Biblical Violence, Cafeteria Bananas, and 1-800-Ghost-Dance.

Huh, I didn't know he drummed it up in Team Sleep. I've only heard one Hella song, but that album is next in line for my To-Dig's of today. That one song was pleasant enough, at least from what little attention I paid to it.

I'm currently playing the self-titled album by Witchcraft. 'Tis a nice little Sabbath-y stoner rock joint that sounds like it time travelled to the present from the 70's.

The other day I dug The Go! Team for the first time. It was quite neat, but it kinda got old after several songs. But the diggin' was good while it lasted.

edit: oh wait, I have The Devil Isn't Red next in line, not that album... but close enough, yes?

[Sleeper]

Huh, I didn't know he drummed it up in Team Sleep.
Yes he plays with them, more synth drumming.

[Robert Crumb]

Sebadoh and the Geto Boys. I think I'm going to have to look into the Drones, compelling forces and all that.

[EightMilesHigh]

Alright, will do. Clocks and The Scientist were off A Rush of Blood, right? I like those ones too, and the only thing I remember from Parachutes was that Yellow song. But in general I'm reallyreallyreally liking Coldplay.

Clocks and The Scientist were both off AROBTTH, and the title track is really good too.

I'm digging Wilco, The Doors, and Ryan Adams today.

Edit - I was looking at my neighbor's list on last.fm, and I found someone who practically has the exact taste in music as me - http://www.last.fm/user/dim_the_droog/

[asymm]

Today shall be a -
Sebadoh - Bakesale
and
Man Man - Six Demon Bag
day

[Zappa]

Kraftwerk - Autobahn, The Man-Machine
Hot Snakes - Suicide Invoice
Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston

[The NPC]

The Urinals

[Zebra]

Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston

Excellent album.

Boards on Canada - Music has the right to Children

[sketchyjoe]

More Pogues
Both the Stockyard Stoics albums
Ted Leo - Hearts of Oak
The Blank Fight - House Band Feud
