What I've Been Digging Lately

[Interstate]

These Arms are Snakes - This is Meant to Hurt You

This is still my favourite release by a band like this. Make sense?

Awesome EP, I really need to get a full length by these guys.

Today:

Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals - Jacksonville City Nights

[Matt?]

Appleseed Cast - Peregrine

It's good. Not the new Radiohead or whatever people are calling them now, but it's good.
wierd i wouldve never made that connection

[Little Man being Erased]

Massive Attack - Blue Lines

Definitely not as good as Mezzanine, but still pretty great stuff.

[ATM]

I got a bunch of bootlegs, and the Andrew Bird one is really nice. I've also been listening to Lake Trout (very Kid-A-ish)

[YDload]

The Flaming Lips- Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

Having listened to Clouds before this, I think this album feels kind of unimpressive. Still, they wouldn't be the Flaming Lips if they sounded the same on every album, so it's not THAT disappointing.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Interpol - Antics

[Ornery Cephalopod]

-Circulatory System - s/t

It's no Olivia Tremor Control, but it's nice.

-Minsk - Out of a Center Which Is Neither Dead Nor Alive

A post-metal band. It's nice.

-Baroness

Another post-y but kinda not band. I've only heard their 2 songs on myspace, but it's nice.

-maudlin of the Well - Bath/Leaving Your Body Map

and also The Secret Song. It's nice.

[Little Man being Erased]

Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight

[Happymeal]

Elysian Fields - Queen of the Meadow

Very, very hypnotizing. J-Charles goes a bit over the top sometimes but man oh man she does it like no other. Ok maybe not but still. Recommended for fans of Lovage and dark, titillating music.

[Zebra]

Cows - Cunning Stuns

[Dog]

^Nice. "Heave Ho" is such a cool song.

Steven Jesse Bernstein - Prison
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain

[Daniel!]

Various awsome Rush songs
Big Boys - The Fat Elvis
Against Me! - Acoustic EP

[Zappa]

Listening to Ask me Tomorrow by Mojave 3 a second time has only further established the fact hat it is a wonderful album

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Cocteau Twins - Treasure
Nine Inch Nails - Quake Soundtrack

[Zmev]

Big Black - Live (In Heaven)

[Little Man being Erased]

Sons and Daughters - The Repulsion Box
The Drones - Wait Long By the River...
The Veils - The Runaway Found
Common - Be

[Zebra]

Air - Moon Safari
Cake - Motorcade of Genorosity

[JonM]

Massive Attack - Blue Lines

Definitely not as good as Mezzanine, but still pretty great stuff.I agree with you, but all the purists tell me I'm wrong and that Blue Lines is the greatest thing ever put to tape. I just don't get it.

[Kyle]

I just can't get enough of Faith No More since I re-discovered 'Angel Dust' the other day.

Other than that, I finally got Youth by Matisyahu this week, so been listening to that a lot.

[BillCosby]

Cap'n Jazz - Analphabetapolothology

[asymm]

Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Just found it at my local record place, it's wonderful.

[EightMilesHigh]

Today I listened to X - Los Angeles today while driving around.

And now I am listening to The Holy Bible, which gets better every time I listen to it. What a f'ucking awesome band.

[br3ad_man]

I bought a couple of cds today:

Blues Explosion - Acme
Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

I'm digging Nacho or whateverhisnewnameis' band right now, they're nice.

[whiteminority]

Xiu Xiu- A Promise
Xiu Xiu- Fabulous Muscles

[ATM]

The new Vines album, Vision Valley, is sweet :-D

[Zebra]

Super Furry Animals - Radiator

This is like if the Fiery Furnaces dropped all their pretentious bullshit and just played insanely catchy, loud-guitar indie pop.

Nice, I'm really diggin' Guerrila as of now but they are both excellent albums.

[Kyle]

The new Vines album, Vision Valley, is sweet :-Dreally?! From the single (Gross Out), I really epcted this to be quite bad!

P.S. I'm glad you changed your name back, much better :)

[ATM]

really?! From the single (Gross Out), I really epcted this to be quite bad!

P.S. I'm glad you changed your name back, much better :)

I mean, it's nothing amazing, but it's still a pretty fun album.

I'm actually uploading it for the mailing list right now.

[BillCosby]

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - B Sides and Rarities

[JOutlaw15]

ExComplex and Monday in London's The Red Machine. They're both indie groups from North Carolina. Pretty good, you should check them out!!!!! www.excomplex.com and www.mondayinlondon.com

[EonBlueApcolyps]

Radiohead - Ok Computer

Now I know why all the elite indie kids love this album so much.

[BillCosby]

old post + Broken Social Scene - You Forgot it in People

[Tangy zizzle]

New Stereolab is melting my head at the moment. That + Flaming Lips = awesome sunday morning.

[Daniel!]

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention - We're Only In It For the Money
King Apparatus - Marbles
Bobby Hutcherson - Dialogue
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - Moanin'
fIREHOSE - Ragin', Full-On

[6StringerII]

At The Drive In - El Gran Orgo EP
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew
Mr. Bungle - Mr. Bungle
The Flaming Lips' new single "The WAND" has been playing over and over constantly in my head and on my iTunes.

[Zmev]

Big Star - Third/Sisters Lovers

[Matt?]

a wilhelm scream

guitar is so insane, i wish i was half as good as these guys

[EightMilesHigh]

So uh diggage today.

I just listened to

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here
Good album, probably my favorite Floyd album. Probably their most progressive album.
The Beatles - Sgt. Peppers
Damn good album, Abbey Road is still my favorite though.

And now I'm listening to Yes - Fragile. It's pretty good, I'm starting to like it more. I just wish their was more lyrics instead of just instrumentals.

[YDload]

i like some of the instrumentals, like "The Fish" and "Five Percent For Nothing."

But of course the best songs are the ones over 7 minutes long

[el doctor]

Wakeman's take on Brahms is a bit out of place, but I like the other instrumentals. I completely agree though, the real prime meat there is obviously the fuller/longer songs.

[pixiesfanyo]

Coheed and Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade

Wow, this album is so good.

[YDload]

Coheed and Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade

Wow, this album is so good.

It doesn't have as much variety as their subsequent albums, but at the same time it's hard to listen to it and not say it's the band's best. I like "Time Consumer," "Everything Evil," and "God Send Conspirator" the best.

Right now I am listening to Boy Hits Car by Boy Hits Car. It's a pretty neat album; lots of Indian influence in an otherwise normal-sounding post-hardcore/something else album.

[Zebra]

Nofx - Ribbed
Offspring - Smash

I still wish I was in the seventh grade.

[Little Man being Erased]

I agree with you, but all the purists tell me I'm wrong and that Blue Lines is the greatest thing ever put to tape. I just don't get it.
Those purists don't know what the **** they're talking about.


Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home
Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A-Changin'

The former is still excellent, and the latter doesn't do it for me at all.
Same. I can't seem to get into The Times They Are A-Changin' anywhere near as much as all the other Dylan albums I have.


The new Vines album, Vision Valley, is sweet :-D
That's... surprising.

I dug lots of random stuff at a huge party at my place last night. Plus Original Pirate Material by the Streets.

[Kyle]

Been listening to Nebula all day :)

[Dave de Sylvia]

Duke Special- a Northern Irish weird guy; think Tom Waits with the voice of Colin Meloy/Morrissey

Trashcan Sinatras- Early 90s Scottish band, huge in Ireland for some reason. They sound like every other Scottish band since Orange Juice, e.g. like Orange Juice

[Bartender]

Right now I am listening to Boy Hits Car by Boy Hits Car. It's a pretty neat album; lots of Indian influence in an otherwise normal-sounding post-hardcore/something else album.

That's a good album.

[ATM]

I'd like to hear those guys.

[JonM]

Boy Hits Car! I've got that album, and I've got one of their early local ones too! It's called My Animal, and though some of the songs appeared later on the s/t, the versions are much different, and the other material definitely makes it worth having. If you'd like it, holla at a playa.

[ATM]

Yea, for some reason I did too. Pop punk or nu metal.

[sketchyjoe]

The Grit - I Came Out the Womb an Angry Cunt
Punk 'n' **** 'n' Roll. I picked this up when I saw them last night.

[Daniel!]

Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets II
Meat Puppets - Up On the Sun

I'm really starting to like these albums.

[Matt?]

up on the sun is maybe my favorite meatpuppets song

that album has a lot of filler sounding tracks though

[Zebra]

Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti!

[Daniel!]

that album has a lot of filler sounding tracks though
For me, not a single song is boring on either of those albums.

[Interstate]

Circle Takes The Square - S/T
Fugazi - 13 Songs
The Dismemberment Plan - The Ice Of Boston EP

[JonM]

whoa this is surprising. I always thought they were a nu-metal band or something.Similar volume level. That's about all they had in common with the nü metal people, although sometimes their lyrics are a tad too angsty, but they're way, way more interesting than the bands they shared radio playlists with for the five minutes they got airplay.

[YDload]

The first time I heard Boy Hits Car, I thought their sound was really unique. That's because they were probably the first post-hardcore band of that style I'd ever heard. Then a band called Boysetsfire came out and they sort of dominated the "Boy-" band scene instead. Argh!

anyway, I've been listening to Bear Vs. Shark's Right Now You're In The Best Of Hands... a whole lot. It's really neat, like ATDI if they weren't so frantic all the time.

[Kurtz]

Rancid

Might have become one of my favorite bands literally overnight.

[pixiesfanyo]

Rancid

Might have become one of my favorite bands literally overnight.

How?

[sketchyjoe]

Bread and Rose - Bread and Roses
Sweet folk-punk. The song Bedtime for Plutocracy is one of my favourites ever but the rest of the album's great too. I need to get their split with Mischief Brew.

[pixiesfanyo]

Toby Driver - In the L..L..Library Loft
Set Fire to Flames - Sings Reign Rebuilder

Yes. Noise rocks.

[JonM]

WTF, last.fm??

I'm digging all my post-rock again. It's been a while.

[Zappa]

I've never listened to Belle & Sebastian. I downloaded their new one cause I felt like I should get hearing what's being released this year. I'm also getting that Anathallo record.

This Belle & Sebastian is kind of neat. A little over-produced, maybe?

[YDload]

Bob Dylan- Desire

Oh Hurricane, you poor guy :(

[Daniel!]

I've been digging all things Meat Puppets.

Bread and Rose - Bread and Roses
Sweet folk-punk. The song Bedtime for Plutocracy is one of my favourites ever but the rest of the album's great too. I need to get their split with Mischief Brew.
When did that split come out?

[ATM]

This Botch album from the mailing list is nice as hell.

[Robert Crumb]

Murs' Murray's Revenge was my main diggage for the past week. It's ok, not near as solid as 3:16 was. But I love Murs. He's probably among my top 5 currently active in-their-prime MCs. He's so perfectly... West Coast.

Today, I also listened to Eric Dolphy's Out to Lunch. I need more Dolphy, I think that's the only solution to that. Also dug an album by a band called Gutbucket. They play jazz-inspired heavy music, I suppose. They've got some really nice numbers.

[YDload]

Have you ever heard their song "The Fan and the Bellows?" I think it's just on a B-side or something but it's the only song I've heard of theirs and it's pretty cool.

[Tangy zizzle]

Howe Gelb's (Giant Sand, whatever) is pretty damm sweet. The premise seems a little tired, but he pulls of it nicely. It's one of my favourote's of ze burgeoning year. Yessssssssss

[br3ad_man]

I was feeling pretty bad before so I listened to The Cure, Bob Dylan and Death Cab For Cutie. Now I'm listening to The Dillinger Escape Plan.

[br3ad_man]

The Replacements - Let it Be

I have never gotten sick of this album. It's so good.

[sketchyjoe]

I've been digging all things Meat Puppets.


When did that split come out?Quite recently on Fistolo.

[Zebra]

Aphex Twin - Richard D. James

I love 4, and Milkman. Those are probably my favorite tracks.

[Iai]

Neil Young - After The Gold Rush

I find it a little odd that this album doesn't get mentioned too much here.

[Tomahawk]

I think that's his second best album. "Don't Let it Bring You Down" is one of my favourite Neil songs.

Today I've been re-digging the Smiths, after not listening to them for a long time. I had the radio on, they did an overview of their discography, with a couple songs off each album... made me remember how damn solid they were. So yeah. Listening mainly to Meat is Murder and The World Won't Listen, because I've never given much attention to those ones.

[YDload]

I'm listening to Entroducing right now. It's not as exciting as I thought it would be, very relaxing. I guess that's good too, just not what I had expected.

[The Jungler]

I've been listening to alot of Blur lately, I don't know why I haven't before.

[CSD & the Soul Machines]

Finally getting into the John Spencer Blues Explosion.

[morrissey]

Britney Spears.

[Bukowski]

The Replacements - Let it Be
The Replacements - Tim

I'm finding it hard to listen to anything else, i just keep going back to these. The only song on any of these albums i'm not fond of is Answering Machine, which i find quite irritating. The songwriting on both albums is amazing. I can't believe i didn't realise how great the Replacements are before now.

[Interstate]

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
Super Furry Animals - Radiator
These Arms Are Snakes - This Is Meant To Hurt You EP

[Dave de Sylvia]

Britney Spears.
Christina for me. Last.fm you know me too well.

Earlier I got the Housemartins greatest hits and the liner notes are hilarious.

One of the band's last musical ventures and possibly their worst. Lyrically vague and musically unimaginative ... Although originally written in 1983, it wasn't until October '87 that the band got desperate enough to record it.

It reached No. 126 in the pop charts and shook the industry by its foundations. In New Zealand it reached the prestigious '60' mark.
Oh man good music too.

[morrissey]

Durutti ColumnNice I've been calling Vini Reilly the experimental Johnny Marr for a while now. The Return of the Durutti Column is such an awesome album.


stuff
Nice, is that from Now That's What I Call Quite Good? I love all the Kiwi references.


120 copies were sold in New Zealand.

The single sold a staggering 450 copies in New Zealand.

Some described it as a Christmas sell-out. It sold 150 copies in New Zealand
And best of all:

This song was hotly tipped as a single until we discovered no-one liked it.
:lol:

edit: and I love the picture of Hugh, such a handsome devil

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yes, anything with Kiwi references sets off my radar.

I'm still yet to be convinced by Talking Heads. Everything I've heard is inoffensive but nevertheless unmoving.

That's my second favourite song on Let it Be :-\

[morrissey]

Damn, that pains me. What have you heard so far?

Nacho, SOP is indeed a manboy.

[Dave de Sylvia]

wait is SOP a girl?
I'm 100% enigma

Damn, that pains me. What have you heard so far?
Stop Making Sense and 77

Don't worry, I still adore the former on name basis alone

[Bukowski]

Ok ok i'm re-listening to Answering Machine in an attempt to discover it's greatness. It's a pretty good song i guess, it gets annoying at the end for me. The lyrics are my favorite thing about the song. It doesn't touch Androgynous in my opinion though, but maybe it'll grow on me since it seems every song on this album just gets better and better every time i listen.

[ATM]

Richard Cheese \m/

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yes, Androgynous is untouchable.

[YDload]

I'm not a big fan of Unsatisfied because the lyrics are plain and... "unsatisfying" for a Replacements song. All the other ballad-type songs are good but I keep coming back to Favorite Thing.

[Zmev]

Rage Against the Machine.

One of those bands whos quality I forgot about.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture
Minsk - Out of a Center Which Is Neither Dead nor Alive
Jesu - s/t
Startlight Mints - Dream That Stuff Was Made Of

And because of my pals' mix CDs, I've come to appreciate Busta Rhymes a lot more.

[Interstate]

Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place

Orgasmic.

[Robert Crumb]

I was listening to a five song sampler from the Gnarls Barkley album earlier today. Judging from one listen, even if the rest of the songs are only half as good as those five, it will be the best album of the year yet to come out when it's released. The only kinda meh song out of the five was a cover of "Gone Daddy Gone," but even that was alright. Shee-it. Listening to some Cee-lo right now.

[Happymeal]

Richard Cheese \m/

\m/ indeed.

[slack]

A couple new ones in the mail today -

Boards of Canada - Twoism
Mum - finally we are no one

[Zappa]

Jerry Harrison - The Red and the Black

I was expecting this to be even more Remain In Light-ish. It's a good album, though.

[Tangy zizzle]

Soulwax - Nite Versions
Red Eyed Legends - The High I Feel When I'm Low

My uni listening today. That REL ep is pretty cool. They could be a great band if they tightened up and focussed.

Ghostface Killah - Fischscale
Great record. That 9.0 from everyone's favorite online publication will no doubt give it a few more listeners.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones
I'm enjoy this more than I expected. Recently I've felt a lack of love for '06 albums so I decided to try a few more of them out, which is why I decided to give them another shot. I am pleasantly surprised.

[Bukowski]

Last night i listened to

Swell Maps - Jane From Occupied Europe

Because of Nikki Sudden's death

7 Seconds - The Crew

Because of the fuss made about it in the punk forum

Angry Samoans - Back From Samoa

Because Angry Samoans are amazing

[Interstate]

Imogen Heap - Speak For Yourself - I'm really starting to enjoy this album after a few listens.
The National - Alligator (same as above)
Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. 2

[Zappa]

Last night was filled with long-standing favorites. Debussy's first book of preludes for solo piano and Wire's Pink Flag, which seem to be two of the biggest influences on my own sound.

I've decided to stop posting my Last.fm. At least I'm not doing it this week.

[Zebra]

Blackalicious - Nia

This album might be as good as Blazing Arrow. Actually, no it's not but it is still one hell of a rap album.

I am listening to the first Miles Davis I've ever heard on vinyl. A sextet (the Kind of Blue band with Bill Evans, not Wyn Kelly) live recording that I picked up for $4. It kind of sounds like ****, but the music isn't bad. Not great, either.

[pixiesfanyo]

Alkaline Trio - Good Mourning

Hm.

[Matt?]

catena collapse-elektra boogie

hm.

[Iai]

Prince - 3121

His best record in an age.

Scrawl - Velvet Hammer

Fast shooting up my list of the best albums ever. It gets better every time I hear it.

[Little Man being Erased]

Television Personalities - And Don't the Kids Just Love It

I didn't like this before but wow it's really good.
Is that that band that does that song "All the Young Children on Crack" or whatever it's called? Because wow that song is horrible.

[Zappa]

Slowdive - Souvlaki

This sucks. Galaxie 500 pisses on this band.

So I got On Fire because of this post. Seriously, what do these two bands have to do with one another at all?

It's on their reunion album that was just released a couple of weeks ago, I think. From what I've heard it's not good, but they had a few really solid albums throughout the 80's. Check out the one Nacho mentioned for their best.

[BillCosby]

hm i want to hear this band called mantits

http://www.angelfire.com/scary/mantits/mp3.html

Just some weird dude with an acoustic guitar.

I reccommend:
"We're Just a Bunch of Multi-pronged Weird-*** Things"
"Let Me ****ing Die"
"Just be Thankful you're not Dead"

[EightMilesHigh]

Stiff Little Fingers - Inflammable Material

Awesome Irish punk raaaaaawk album released in 1979. Think the speed and fury of bands like The Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys and Black Flag with the intelligence of The Clash and The Buzzcocks. A must have for any punk fan.

[asymm]

Ghostface Killah - Fishscale
Seriously. Damn, I'm still loving it. Gets better each time I listen to it through. It makes me really anxious to hear the Ghostface + MF Doom record later this year.

[Little Man being Erased]

It's on their reunion album that was just released a couple of weeks ago, I think. From what I've heard it's not good, but they had a few really solid albums throughout the 80's. Check out the one Nacho mentioned for their best.
The video for that song led me to believe they were a relatively new band. They look fairly young. They don't look old enough to have been making music in the 80s anyway. They look more like they were born in the 80s.

[Tangy zizzle]

Goodshirt - Fiji Baby

I'd forgotten how much I love this ****. It's like a pill popping Pixies, mixed with some lovely acousitc numbers and drenched in fuzzy, weird-pop goodness.

[Little Man being Erased]

Goodshirt - Fiji Baby

I'd forgotten how much I love this ****. It's like a pill popping Pixies, mixed with some lovely acousitc numbers and drenched in fuzzy, weird-pop goodness.
Mmmmm. I love what I've heard of those guys. Fun band.

[YDload]

I'm listening to some Velvet Underground now. It's not that great really.

[Tangy zizzle]

^woah, he speaks truth for once.

[Robert Crumb]

The video for that song led me to believe they were a relatively new band. They look fairly young. They don't look old enough to have been making music in the 80s anyway. They look more like they were born in the 80s.

Most are probably (relative) young'uns. The band doesn't really have much of a consistent lineup. And yeah, "All the Young Children On Crack" is horrible. But some of the stuff I've heard from the rest of their album is more in tune to what they do, clumsy indie pop stuff.

I haven't read the Pitchfork review on Fishscale but if it's positive, then they've got it right. It's much better than Pretty Tony, which really wasn't even all that good in the first place except for like three songs. I'm loving the guest spots for dead people on this album, too.

[Tangy zizzle]

Is 'Pac on it?

[Robert Crumb]

No, but Biggie is.

^woah, he speaks truth for once.

well i know Zappa doesnt like em that much, but he's pretty hard on a lot of A/I favorites so that doesn't really mean much. but then i listen to them and I don't really understand all the fuss. this sounds like bob dylan, but it's not Bob Dylan to me.

if you get my drift

Yeah minutemen, blah blah... thats a cool song though.

Weird War - Illuminated by the Light.

Picked this up at their show last week, it's fun. it's no Make Up or NoU, but it's still pretty cool. Plus the artwork is bitxhin'.

[br3ad_man]

Parkway Drive

After a wierd day, I'm finding them pretty relaxing.

[Tangy zizzle]

VU's kind of boring, except for "Heroin", White Light/White Heat, and the self-titled album. Oh, and Loaded. So basically everything is good.

Ok I will admit to liking White Light/White Heat, if only for cultures sake. But it's still pretty boring stuff.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Joy Division - Substance (The first Joy Division stuff I've heard apart from Love Will Tear Us Apart. Good.)
Bauhaus - In The Flat Field
Belle & Sebastian - Tigermilk

[pixiesfanyo]

Built to Spill

yip yip

[Zebra]

R.E.M. - Murmur

[Interstate]

Imogen Heap - Speak For Yourself - the intro to "Loose Ends" has been stuck in my head all day.

I wish my Ipod would stop crashing :upset:

[Happymeal]

Yeah minutemen, blah blah... thats a cool song though.

Weird War - Illuminated by the Light.

Nice. At first I was kind of let down with their mellowing out and all, but it's still a groovy and fairly consistent album.

MF Doom - Mm.. Food

It has great beats.. and it makes me hungry.

[Interstate]

Frank Sinatra - Songs For Swingin' Lovers

Can't beat a bit of Ol' Blue Eyes.

[Little Man being Erased]

Most are probably (relative) young'uns. The band doesn't really have much of a consistent lineup. And yeah, "All the Young Children On Crack" is horrible. But some of the stuff I've heard from the rest of their album is more in tune to what they do, clumsy indie pop stuff.
Well, that explains it.

I dug Beck - Guero yesterday, and I think it's a better album than a lot of people gave it credit for.

I'm seeing The Drones tonight, so today I shall be digging them amongst some other stuff.

[Kyle]

Mr. Bungle
Jimmy Chamberlin Complex
Yeah Yeah Yeahs

[Interstate]

The Bronx - S/T

Makes me want to break things.

[JonM]

I'm discovering that I owe more to Incubus than to any other band. They spawned every musical phase I've ever had, and I thought for a long time that they were just a starting point, but I've come to realize that they really are going to be one of my all time favorite bands.

[moderaterock222]

gregor samsa and sweet billy pilgrim at the moment. both bands i've never heard anyone mention anywhere, but they are simply amazing. so much talent going unrecognised.

[Rejd]

Band Of Horses - Everything All The Time
Youth Group - Skeleton Jar
The Cars - S/T
T.Rex - Electric Warrior
XTC - Drums And Wires
Death In Vegas - Scorpio Rising
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - S/T
Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing In The Hands
Explosions In The Sky - The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place
Magazine - Real Life
Santana - S/T
Slint - Tweez
The Fiery Furnaces - Gallowbirds Park
Wolf Parade - Apologies To The Queen Mary

[Zappa]

Good stuff.

[The Great Decay]

Cursive - Domestica
Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted

[EightMilesHigh]

Joy Division - Peel Sessions (Complete BBC Recordings)

I think I'm finally becoming a Joy Division fanboy. She's Lost Control is mesmerizing.

[ATM]

Menos El Oso

Good bands, but I've said plenty on them already. BVS has an amazing bassist; check out his solo at the end of "The Employee Is Not Afraid."

[BigDaveUGA]

She Wants Revenge
Nightmare of You
Editors
Stellastarr*
Ours

[Zebra]

R.E.M. - Murmur

Possibly my favorite album of all time.

[Tangy zizzle]

Well, that explains it.

I dug Beck - Guero yesterday, and I think it's a better album than a lot of people gave it credit for.

I'm seeing The Drones tonight, so today I shall be digging them amongst some other stuff.

That current tour they're doing is insane. They're playing like 6 times in Melbrourne. I wanna see 'em so, so, so sososososos bad. It makes me die a little just thinking about it. Man I love them.

[Zappa]

This evening's soundtrack:

Yes - Close to the Edge
Morphine - Yes
Kraftwerk - Autobahn

[BillCosby]

It's been an Elvis Costello - This Year's Model kind of day.

[Robert Crumb]

Slim Thug - Already Platinum

I've been going through some albums looking for Pharrell guest spots. Sticking with this one for a second. I like Pharrell. I wonder how well he'll be able to carry a solo album. I also listened to some other stuff today.

[Tangy zizzle]

The Wipers - Youth of America

Great, great piece of punk right thurr. I see a lot of these guys in Dino Jr... and Hot Snakes. I love Hot Snakes, I miss them. Anyone got any updates for cousin Tangy on what Reis/Froberg are doing?

Dilated Peoples

I've made my own "greatest hits" from their first 3 albums and various b-sides/rarities. Man they used to illllll.

[Bartender]

Boy Hits Car! I've got that album, and I've got one of their early local ones too! It's called My Animal, and though some of the songs appeared later on the s/t, the versions are much different, and the other material definitely makes it worth having. If you'd like it, holla at a playa.

I would like to hear it, but can't be sent it because I'm away from my real computer for about a month.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Bell X1 - Flocks has had me soothed all day. They're a early Radiohead-ish band which used to feature Damien Rice. Good stuff.

[br3ad_man]

Well, that explains it.

I dug Beck - Guero yesterday, and I think it's a better album than a lot of people gave it credit for.

I'm seeing The Drones tonight, so today I shall be digging them amongst some other stuff.

Ah ****, I just realised this girl I talk to sometimes said she was going to their gig tonight but I was at work tonight and she dropped in and said hi. That means she didn't go. Poo.

I bought a second copy of Penance Soiree. It was $5 and I figured my friend could really use it.

[Mr Observations]

Scratch Acid - The Greatest Gift
Melvins - Gluey Porch Treatments
Mudhoney - Superfuzz Bigmuff
Brainiac - Hissing Prigs In Static Couture

and lots and lots of the Jesus Lizard

[Dave de Sylvia]

This Teardrop Explodes album somebody (Tomahawk?) uploaded for the mailing list is really good. The singer reminds me of Billy Bragg.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think you need to be less wrong and more right in future and perhaps your winning streak will start when I listen to that.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Calexico - Garden Ruin

Their new album leaked. I miss their older Black Light/Hot Rail style, but ignoring that, this is quite nice so far.

[ATM]

My sisters boyfriend is going on tour with these guys:

http://www.myspace.com/laotracina

So I've been diggin them, definantly.

[pixiesfanyo]

Six Organs of Admittance

I'm just getting enveloped in this stuff because it's so damn nice out.

65 degrees in March in Center Pennsylvania.

Hah.

[YDload]

Yeah today was a nice day to be in PA.

Anyway I'm still attached to those bands with "Bear" in their names as stated in that one thread. I dig things slowly!

[Zmev]

Velvet Underground - Live at Max's
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
Beatles - Revolver

[Zebra]

Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones

That's what I've been diggin' all day.

[Dog]

Polaris - Music From the Adventures of Pete & Pete

It's great. Really.

[pixiesfanyo]

The National - Alligator

So, yeah. This is ridiculously good.

I'm listening to Drum's Not Dead a lot. It's so nice.

[Iai]

Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes
Van Morrison - Moondance

[ATM]

Sage Francis - Healthy Distrust

definantly in my top 3 favorite mc's

[asymm]

Black Heart Procession - The Spell
Band of Horses - Everything All The Time
Giving this another shot, because I think that if I just enjoy it for what it is instead of the comparisons I could end up pretty pleased with it.

[asymm]

Annie - Anniemal
This is much better than I originally thought. "Heartbeat" is irresistible. Makes me pretty damn interested in her follow-up record.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

10 Family Guy Really Got Crappy After It Came Back On The Air 11

Die.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Duke Special - Adventures in Gramophone

Archaic multi-instrumental Tom Waits with the voice of the Colin Meloy type affair

[Ornery Cephalopod]

the string tribute to Slayer

some of it is pretty unimpressive, but some of it is neat.

also, my buddy and me have been jammin' to a Sabbath mix the past few days

[Sound Boy]

Explosions in the Sky
Derek Trucks Band
and i have offically jumped on the Arctic Monkeys bandwagon. they're just soo damn good

[Davii]

Hey i am new to this but just wanna let you guys know what im into. Big coldplay and Oasis fan. Like Arctic Monkeys and all upbeat sorta stuff but am also into Sigur Ros and have found no one else who lieks them. Let me know if u do

[YDload]

Die.

It's true, Family Guy pretty much sucks now. Nothing but flashbacks and bringing back one-shot characters for no real reason. Why the **** would you have Peter fight a giant chicken for five minutes AGAIN?

[Bukowski]

The Stooges
The Cows
Xiu Xiu

Contamination by the Cows is one of my favorite songs, i've decided.

[Zappa]

Lots of Harmonia today. And Magazine in the morning.

[JonM]

I've been digging the year 1997, as well as records released in that year, such as:

Incubus - S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
Radiohead - OK Computer
Björk - Homogenic
Blur - Blur
Elliott Smith - Either/Or

That was quite a year.

[indy_undy]

Is it worth ordering in any Shocking Pinks or Beat Happening albums through a record store, and if so which ones?

I've been digging the new Two Gallants and Ben Harper albums and some GY!BE. I'm seeing Harper in a couple of weeks which should be awesome if his live recordings are anything to go by.

[Robert Crumb]

Is it worth ordering in any Shocking Pinks or Beat Happening albums through a record store, and if so which ones?

I like Beat Happening's You Turn Me On the most. But mostly because "Teenage Caveman." I think it's worth purchasing.

Listening to Ghostface still. Many kinds of awesome. The Ghostface/Doom album will definitely be pretty interesting judging from their stuff here.

[Interstate]

Big L - Lifestyles Ov Da Poor & Dangerous

Doesn't get any more gangster than that.

[asdf]

I'm giving fugazi a chance. I downloaded 13 songs, but I want to get another one. I like it, but not as much as I thought I would.

Still, I love Ian Mackaye.

[Happymeal]

^You might like their more experimental works, like Red Medicine or End Hits

Black Heart Procession - The Spell

How is it? I'm hoping it's more like Amore than their older stuff.

16 Horsepower - Folklore

Thanky Zmev.

Hail Social - s/t

Nothing out of the ordinary, but I like their style of catchy dance/indie rock.

[asymm]

How is it? I'm hoping it's more like Amore than their older stuff.
Unfortunately I'm not familiar with other Black Heart Procession material. After only one listen I enjoyed it, but it mostly glossed over me. An earnest, indie rock record, but not something that truly grabbed me the first time. I'll listen to it again soon.

[ATM]

Big L - Lifestyles Ov Da Poor & Dangerous

Doesn't get any more gangster than that.

He's one of the greatest ever, IMO.

[Doctor D.]

The Flaming Lips - Hit To Death In The Future head
The Chameleons- What Does Anything Mean Basically
Matisyahu - Youth
Ween - Pure Guava
The Books - Lemon of Pink and Lost and Safe

[ATM]

Oh yea, my diggage:

Sage Francis - Healthy Distrust
Quasi - The Sword of God (drummer from SK and bassist from Elliott Smith)
Beastie Boys - Hello Nasty (forgot how good this was)
Meat Puppets - II
Tapes n Tapes - The Loon
Hexstatic - Master View ( get this now, amazing electronica)

[EightMilesHigh]

Today is just gonna be an Elvis Costello day, methinks.

[The Great Decay]

I'm giving Blazing Arrow a listen for the first time.

[Bukowski]

Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
Flaming Lips - Hit to Death in the Future Head
Flaming Lips - Transmissions from the Satellite Heart

Nothing beats rediscovering bands you used to love but kinda stopped listening to, and finding that they're just as good as you remember. Man, the Flaming Lips are perfect.

[Matt?]

bunkbed and only bunkbed

[Zappa]

Haven't been listening to stuff, because I got the powercable for my new synthesizer. And it's amazing.

[incufreak411]

coldplay, willie nelson, incubus, the coma lilies, coltrane, muse, the brian jonestown massacre, the el paso hiest, the reject squad wins again,how bout some cheese?, the beatles, traffic

[YDload]

Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
Flaming Lips - Hit to Death in the Future Head
Flaming Lips - Transmissions from the Satellite Heart

Nothing beats rediscovering bands you used to love but kinda stopped listening to, and finding that they're just as good as you remember. Man, the Flaming Lips are perfect.

I like how they exist outside of time. As in, the songs on Clouds Taste Metallic could have been written any time in the past 25 years, and maybe even several decades into the future. They aren't dated at all!

[The Great Decay]

Saul Williams - Saul Williams

[Dave de Sylvia]

Dead Boys - Young, Loud & Snotty
Mahavishnu Orchestra - The Inner Mounting Flame
Duke Special - Adventures In Gramophone

[Daniel!]

World/Inferno Friendship Society
Subhumans

I saw World/Inferno and the Subhumans on Thursday and have been listening to them nonstop ever since.

[Zebra]

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

Most overated album EVAR!

[Interstate]

He's one of the greatest ever, IMO.

Truth.

I've been listening to Ghostface Killah - Fishscale the past couple of days, I didn't like it too much at first but it's really growing on me.

[Bartender]

As always when I come home for little holidays, I haven't been digging much. Mostly just the radio stations in San Andreas (including a home made one), and the occasional music video.

Speaking of which, are there two versions of the new Streets single? Why?

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - Fear Is On Our Side
Explosions In The Sky - The Rescue
The Dead Texan - The Dead Texan

[pixiesfanyo]

I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness - Fear Is On Our Side


hah. this band played near me and i would've got to seen them but their name is too ****ing funny.

[BigDaveUGA]

I saw them a few nights ago and it was a good show, I'd see them again.

[neighborhood fascist]

I'm getting back into Faraquet.

[EightMilesHigh]

ZZ Top - Tres Hombres

Every girl's crazy about a sharp dressed man :)

[Bukowski]

Minutemen, and only Minutemen.

R.E.M. - Monster

What's the Frequency Kenneth? and Crush With Eyeliner are amazing.

[Smackers]

Orthrelm

[Happymeal]

Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You

Kind of a weird first listen. They remind me of Fugazi and Jawbox.

[Tangy zizzle]

weird, I've been digging Grippe today.

Also, a lot of Nick Cave.

[Interstate]

Today:

Wu Tang Clan - Enter The 36 Chambers
Ghostface Killah - Fishscale - Not liking it as much now that I've listened to it a few times.
The Natural History - Beat Beat Heartbeat

[BillCosby]

Outkast and Madvillain.

[ATM]

Tapes N Tapes are kinda cool

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

hah. this band played near me and i would've got to seen them but their name is too ****ing funny.

My friend thinks they're emo because of the name. Plus, their album cover has an uncanny resemblance to the heartagram.

I think I'll be forever in Zappa's debt for turning me onto this.

[indy_undy]

I've been listening to some Cold War Kids (I'm a rather large fan of Hospital Beds), I Heart Hiroshima and Nick Cave (Muder Ballads).

[pixiesfanyo]

Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet

This is really one of the finest Post-Rock albums of all time.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Q And Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep

They broke up. :(

[Zebra]

Q And Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep

They broke up. :(

That's unfortunate, because I just getting to like some of their stuff.

Flaming Lips - Hear it is
Offspring - Smash
Chocolate Weasel - Spaghettification

[Tomahawk]

I'm heavily digging Metaphorical Music by Nujabes. Found out about it through the recommendations thing on RateYourMusic, and I know pretty much nothing about the guy... but I assume he's a producer, and he does some really great laid back jazzy hip hop.
