Hahahahaha, Linkin Park and Mission of Burma, now that is some funny ****.

[Happymeal]

Hey Tangy(and everyone, of course), if you're liking some mucho heavy stuff these days listen to The Secret (http://www.goodfellowrecords.com/MAIN/main-frameset.html).

[Luxor]

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Linkin Park's, "one step closer" is very good, and Mission of Burma :thumb:

i'll have to agree, that's the only linkin park song i can tolerate as well...

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to Source Tags and Codes a lot

[Tangy zizzle]

^^ Good boy:)

I'm so unbelievably excited for new Queens disc you cannot imagine, I think I'm gonna pooh. I got the low down on everything and I'm hoping for big things...

[Little Man being Erased]

^^^ Yeah, I love Queens and I'm really looking forward to it too. I'm really interested to see what they are going to sound like on the new record without Nick. It should be good though.

[Tapeworm]

hah, potato. Nice.

I'm digging Sarah Blasko very heavily, she is absolutely brilliant.

I saw Damien Rice last night and it was the best gig i've ever seen. He is so crazy and funny and intense and serious and wonderful.

[Tangy zizzle]

Welcome to 1998 my friend.

[Luxor]

I finally got "Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk". :)

[Happymeal]

I should've bought that back home where it's much, much cheaper(converted to $15 Canadian, and there's no tax). But I wasn't a big Buckley fan back then. Darn.

[Luxor]

Future Shop had it for $17.99, HMV had it for $27.99. :eek:

[Happymeal]

I looked at Best Buy, they have it for $29 or something:eek: But I guess I'll buy Live At Sin-e first..

[Tomahawk]

Definitely get Live at Sin-e first.

[Luxor]

What's so great about Live at Sin-e? It's like $30 for a live disk? I don't like live performance CD's, I like listening to the actual CD, or going to see them live. Live albums don't do much for me...

[Mr_Popstar]

I'm so into Guided by Voices right now! I just downloaded a bunch of their MP3's off of Matador and they are great!
Everywhere with Helicopter is an amazing song! So good and catchy!

Another band I'm into is Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. Dark Wave is an amazing song! The video is extremely cool, too!

[Mr_Popstar]

I'm listening to Source Tags and Codes a lot
That is an excellent Cd from an excellent band! I love the song Another Morning Stoner... It's fantastic!


Sorry for the posting one post after another!

I'm not a huge fan of live CDs either... but it's not a typical live CD. It's basically a covers CD, and if you've heard Hallelujah then you know how good he is at covers. In about 160 minutes of music, there's only 5 Buckley originals, but he totally owns every single song. Plus it's not like it was recorded at a big concert, it's from way before Grace was even released. It's a small crowd, and just Jeff with no band, it feels really personal.

Honestly, it's almost as good as Grace.

[Tapeworm]

Welcome to 1998 my friend.
what the ****???

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Another band I'm into is Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. Dark Wave is an amazing song! The video is extremely cool, too!

that's pavement's old lead singer and what he's done with the jicks is really a step in the right direction for him. Download, 1% of 1 and Phantasies...

[guitar is hard]

Lately bands like Explosions In The Sky, Cursive, Elliot Smith, Damien Rice, The Blood Brothers, Beethoven, Iron Maiden, and Yngwie Malmsteen have been tickling my fancy.

[endymion]

I just heard a song the other day by the band The Fading Collection which is a local band in seattle. www.thefadingcollection.com It's a very cool sound.

[Happymeal]

DL'ing some songs from Animal Collective's Sung Tongs

[guitar is hard]

I've downloaded some songs by Damien Rice after reading about him in this forum, and I am very impressed. Can anyone recommend some more songs of his to get? I currently have : Amie, Cold Water, and I Remember.

[Badmoon]

I just bought Smile. This album absolutly owns! Especially from "I'm in Great Shape/I Wanna Be Around/Workshop" on.

Eskimo
Cheers Darlin'
Prague
Volcano

pretty much anything will be worth your time...

[br3ad_man]

I finally bought something from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It's only the best of though. I've been listening to that quite a bit. Tomorrow I should be buying Mezzanine.

[Little Man being Erased]

^^^ I'm really into Nick Cave at the moment too.


I'm gonna get Murder Ballads as soon as I can and then the new album(s).

[Little Man being Erased]

hah, potato. Nice.

I'm digging Sarah Blasko very heavily, she is absolutely brilliant.

Fan-friggin-tastic choices.


Today I've been digging The Minutemen and Sarah Blasko.

[libertine2020]

Just got screwed over by girlfriend and broke up with her. Can't listen to depressing emo because thats what she listens to. So I'm listening to a lot of Alkaline Trio.

um, Alk Trio is worse then emo, its whinemo...

[shane italian]

Lately:
Strike Anywhere
Copeland
NIN
In My Eyes
Jedi Mind Tricks
Wu-Tang Clan
The Warriors

[Happymeal]

Just bought BTBAM's S/T, it's awesome. I'm getting into Kasabian and Animal Collective right now. I'll probably buy a Buckley and/or Pastorius album sometime soon..

[br3ad_man]

Just got Mezzanine and Missy's Scar EP

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Lately I've been hip to some Beach Boys, The Cardigans, Neutral Milk Hotel, 27, The Starlight Mints, and Steve Burns.

I'm listening to Self's Gizmodgery album, I forgot how great it was. Best 'only used toys for instruments' album ever.

[Tangy zizzle]

I love you kazoo.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

You're not so bad yourself.

Wanna go cow tipping?

[Tangy zizzle]

You read my mind sister.

May I supply the cows?

[Tapeworm]

Sarah Blasko.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes ...

Missy Higgins
Yes yes yes yes.

I love you guys.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Missy Misdemeaner Elliot > Missy Higgins

True story

[Luxor]

You're not so bad yourself.

Wanna go cow tipping?
Can I come too? :upset:

[Tangy zizzle]

Only if you's gotsta gooder tippin' hand then I does.

[BMM]

ive been digging iron and wine and the decemberists

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I'm groovin' to Gizmodgery by Self again. Seriously man, they're amazing, making such great music using only a bunch of toys and pasting the sounds together with some nice production skillz.

They're somewhere in between the funky white boy hip-hop-ness of Beck and poppy indie in general. Now go check out this album (don't worry about the other albums; Self without toys is not Self at the top of their game) before I start droppin plates on dat ***.

P.S. "Trunk Fulla Amps" has the best usage of rediculously large amounts of the word "****" ever, bar none, along with the best impressions of other singers' voices ever, plus the whole 'best usage of toys instead of instruments ever' thing inherent throughout the whole album.

[Tomahawk]

Missy Misdemeaner Elliot > Missy Higgins

True story
False story. You couldn't be wronger if you had an electrified wronging machine. That's how wrong you are.

[Tangy zizzle]

Missy Higgins makes me want to run away from myself.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Missy Misdemeaner Elliot > Elliot Smith

Don't be frontin' now.

[OrbDragon]

Trail Of Dead - Source Tags & Codes: They have a very dark, enigmatic sound...which I really like. They also have interesting dynamics in their songs. "Monsoon" is my favorite, especially because of the cool climax.

Beck - Mutations: This is now my favorite Beck record, close behind Sea Change. It features Becks songwriting skills and goofy genre hopping into one. It lacks consistancy at times...which is it's only flaw. "Diamond Bollocks" is an incredible piece of music.

Elbow - Cast Of Thousands: A great layback record with very unique production. I like this band because they write very moving songs without getting over the top emotionally...and also have some very creative concepts. "Fugitive Motel" is a highlight.

The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin: I can't seem to get sick of this record.

DJ Shadow - Entroducing: see above.

Electric Six - Fire: Just a goofy record that's fun to listen to. This band seems to be awful on purpose....but the tunes they write are extremely catchy and fun.

[Zmev]

Coheed and Cambria

[Little Man being Erased]

Great choices Orb.

I'm getting very frustrated because I haven't had time to get Elliott Smith's From a Basement on a Hill. Bloody Uni... makes me mad.

[Tapeworm]

along with the best impressions of other singers' voices ever
Aren't those sampled?

Tangy sux. So does that new Kazoo.

[still_ur_heart]

HEEEEEEEEY I'm back! And I'm still all about Taking Back Sunday's Where You Want To Be!!! you're a loser if you dont have it! even if you dont listen to it. prop it up on your shelf and stare....yeah and I like that song Breaking The Broken by Sparta. And Reptilia by The Strokes. haha I start my mornings right with a healthy dose of all these guys.

[Tomahawk]

Right now I'm really digging the album "Sunrise Over Sea", by the John Butler Trio. Also I've been listening to Soundgarden and Jane's Addiction.

[Dark Hero]

Hüsker Dü

[pendrightheloved1]

I bought The Prodigy Experience last week and its bloody cool. Its really different to the fat of the land, they're a really versatile band and its got some very good drum and bass beats. Liam is a genius

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to a lot of Massive Attack, QOTSA and Elliott Smith

[Luxor]

Death Cab is awesome, especially their older stuff.

[Happymeal]

Animal Collective is fab, pretty fab I tell you.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I just bought an album from a band called Strangtecular, somebody at the E6 forums gave me a link it's awesome.

http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/strangtecular

[barking sparrow]

some may totally overlook the vines because of their popularity BUT winning days is an amazing album full of insane harmonies and psychedelic melodies. so before you brand them as just another garage band turned cool, listen to their stuff and prepare to be impressed.
also listen to:
the shins
the libertines
the unicorns
lips on a napkin
no no spots

[Tomahawk]

I don't overlook the Vines because of their popularity. I overlook them because of their SUCKularity!!! HA!! TAKE THAT THE VINES!!!

[barking sparrow]

(i'd like to hear YOUR band then)

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Aren't those sampled?

Tangy sux. So does that new Kazoo.

Totally not sampled man.

Now shut your trap before I start a gang a la Al Capone and tell my goons to rough you up.

[Tangy zizzle]

He likes The Unicorns, cut him some slack niggaz.

YES! another vines fan on MX! watch out for tangy zizzle though, he's an elitist when it comes to the vines.

lately i've been getting into jet, the who, black sabbath and van halen.

Wrong again Flanders. I'm an elitist period.

Jet, wow. I can't believe Iggy Pop coppied their riff...

You're such a bitch.

In a good way.

Bitch.

[Tangy zizzle]

Thankyou my pretty.

Where gone cousin stewy?

[clown_phobia]

THE VINES!!! craig nicholls is god.

[Tomahawk]

(i'd like to hear YOUR band then)
My band only does acoustic covers of Duran Duran songs.

[br3ad_man]

Thankyou my pretty.

Where gone cousin stewy?

You're such a meanie :p

[Tapeworm]

Does anyone here have the Evermore album yet?

Is it worth buying?

I hear it's very special, but I is low on cash...

[Little Man being Erased]

THE VINES!!! craig nicholls is god.
I like The Vines too. But not as much as I did a little while ago. Winning Days just wasn't on the same level as Highly Evolved. I still like them though.

[Tomahawk]

I'm heavily into the Pixies right now. I finally got Come On Pilgrim, and it's just reminded me why I love this band so goddamn much. The Holiday Song is so good it makes me cry tears of awesomeness.

[Omnium]

The two artists I'm currently OBSESSED with are Primus and Aphex Twin.

Primus albums I'm hammering:

Sailing The Seas Of Cheese (Check the songs "Tommy The Cat" and "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver")
Pork Soda (Check the songs "My Name Is Mud" "DMV" and "Mr. Krinkle")

Aphex Twin albums I'm hammering:

Selected Ambient Works Volume II (You need to listen to this as a whole, it's truly wonderful)

[Luxor]

Today I have listened to:

Elliott Smith - XO
Radiohead - The Bends
..And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - Souce Tags & Codes

[Happymeal]

Ghahh, I'm still deciding whether I should get Source Tags And Codes or Psyopus' Ideas of Reference in the weekend. It's so mind-boggling for poor blokes:(

[Zappa]

^I don't really like either of those much.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I just got Start A People Black Moth Super Rainbow
http://www.blackmothsuperrainbow.com/disco1.htm

and The Strangtecular Band's Self Titled
http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/strangtecular

I have hit an obscure indie jackpot.

[Happymeal]

^Good one:) I haven't been epitonicking in a while..

Hmm, Zappa, ever listened to Animal Collective?

[Well_Respected_Man]

*buts in front of Zappa*

I HAVE! I just downloaded some yesterday, It's okay. It could grow on me in a bit though.

[Happymeal]

I'm really really liking them so much now, I've dl'ed most of Sung Tongs, they're weird but pretty cool, good high/drinking music I say.


And when you're name's Panda Bear, nobody can resist you. Secks appeal++

[RIPJoeStrummer]

I've really been getting into Grandaddy in the past week or so. I've only downloaded like ten songs but I know I have to buy an album now. Most likely Sumday unless someonehas a better suggestion.

[Tomahawk]

I'm continuing my Pixies binge. But I've also been listening to the Breeders, and Frank Black's solo work. Ya know, to keep it diverse.

[RIPJoeStrummer]

Nice, I'm not crazy about the Breeders or the Catholics but they're definitely worth a listen every now and again. Cannonball is an awesome song. :)

[Tomahawk]

Frank Black's self titled and "Teenager of the Year" are really good CDs. They're alot like Trompe Le Monde, but with more acoustic guitar.

[br3ad_man]

I'm digging Tori Amos

[rhythm lost]

I'm digging Damien Rice and Elliot Smith tonight.

[Zappa]

I think I heard a bit of Animal Collective. I cannot remember what I thought of it, which is a bad sign.

This week's in-school picks have been as follows:

Today was REM, Queens of the Stone Age, and then Talking Heads

Yesterday was Beck, then Minutemen, then Miles Davis, then Return to Forever

The day before my iPod had no batts.

The day before was Public Enemy, then Nomeansno, then Frank Zappa, then Idiot Flesh, then Alice in Chains

Day before was Busta Rhymes, then the Stooges, then Crowded House, then Horace Silver, then Nick Drake, then Talking Heads, then Frank Zappa, then Eric Dolphy

[Dark Hero]

I just got Start A People Black Moth Super Rainbow
http://www.blackmothsuperrainbow.com/disco1.htm

I like that :thumb:

[Happymeal]

Zappa's solo stuff, especially Clean It Up:cool:


edit: when I said Zappa, I meant Alex:cool:

[br3ad_man]

"Stumble and Fall" by Razorlight has been playing a lot on my computer lately. It's annoyingly good.

[Zappa]

Zappa's solo stuff, especially Clean It Up:cool:


edit: when I said Zappa, I meant Alex:cool:


:o.

[OrbDragon]

I'm loving Midnite Vultures by Beck...a genius pop record. I'm also into Dälek, Joy Division, Calexico, Sneaker Pimps, The Cramps, Nine Inch Nails and Elysian Fiels today.

The Styrofoam record is good too.

[Zappa]

"The World is Yours" by Nas is a cool track.

[Dark Hero]

Neutral Milk Hotel

[Happymeal]

Just borrowed

Joni Mitchell - Taming the Tiger
New Order - International

from the library.

[WatchMeJumpstart]

Neutral Milk Hotel
Excellent stuff. On an Aeroplane is one of my all time favorites.


Myself-
Guided By Voices- Alien Lanes
Built to Spill- Perfect from Now On
Dismemberment Plan- Disaster and I
Tom Waits- Real Gone

[Well_Respected_Man]

Neutral Milk Hotel
You're turning into a little hippie aren't you. ;)

[Zappa]

The band Neutral Milk Hotel totally sucks.

[el doctor]

The band Neutral Milk Hotel totally sucks.:lol: I like them, but at times when I try to analyze the music, I'll stop and think "What the hell am I listening to?"

That whole E6 label is just evil though... (even though I happen to really like most of the bands)

Anyway, lately the album I've been listening to the most is Dorothy Ashby's "afro Harping". I'm playing a song in jazz band that sounds similar to one of the songs, so listening to this album is such a great excuse of "mental practice".

[Tangy zizzle]

^^^ No way man.

[el doctor]

Oh, I'm sorry that my opinion's wrong. Assuming that you were referring to the E6 comment:

You see, while I really like most of the music on the E6 label, I greatly dislike how people worhsip a label. They're the pride and joy of every closed minded indie kid, and it annoys me that apparently if you dislike one of the bands on that whole label, your opinion is suddenly invalid. So why did I call it evil? Simply for the fact that, in terms of music, it makes the narrow minded think they're even more high and mighty.

[Tangy zizzle]

I was actually referring to Zappa's comment dude.

[Iai]

Back on topic.

I've been really getting back into X-Japan these last couple of days. Rusty Nail, Art Of Life, Crucify My Love.....I forgot just how damn good they are.

[Tangy zizzle]

X-Japan? Never heard of them. What are they like?

[Happymeal]

I borrowed from the library:

Ani Difranco - So Much Shouting, So Much Laughter
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes
The Cure - Greatest Hits
Kyuss - ..And the Circus Leaves Town

[Tangy zizzle]

You have a cool librabry.

[Happymeal]

Yes we do, and I haven't even fully searched the shelves yet.


Ooh, so that's where your name came from. :awe:

[Tangy zizzle]

Hahah, indeed.

[Iai]

X-Japan? Never heard of them. What are they like?
Japan's biggest selling hard rock/metal act ever. They've got elements of power, speed, neo-classical (real classical, not Yngwie ****) and prog in their sound too. The faster tracks are really anthemic, the slower ones really emotional and epic. Really addictive stuff.

Art Of Life is over 29 minutes long, and it's an absolute masterpiece. All in English, too. Piano solo takes a little getting used to though.

[Tangy zizzle]

You said Power Metal... those words make me soft.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I'm back the Beach Boys again. Wild Honey and Smiley Smile are really cool.

[Iai]

You said Power Metal... those words make me soft.
I say Power Metal because they're very melodic, accessible, and have a cult-hero lead guitarist. They don't sing about dragons. As far as I can tell, anyway, I don't speak Japanese.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Don't listen to this buffoon, X-Japan isn't worth your time man.

J-rock (and J-metal)... Ugh.

DISCLAIMER: The "Ugh." expressed above doesn't apply to cool groups like Sigh or Melt Banana. Rock/metal from Japan doesn't automatically = J-rock/metal.

[Happymeal]

^You two are as elitist as ever I notice.

What about Utada Hikaru? Nyahaha

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I put on a tough exterior, but I'm a softy at heart.

[Tangy zizzle]

Was he talkin' 'bout me aswell?

[Deathapalooza04]

I've been listening to Aphex Twin-26 mixes for cash (wierd, but in a good way) and Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains (still have not decided if its better than primus).

[Tomahawk]

Kyuss - ..And the Circus Leaves Town
Is that CD any good? Because I can get it for pretty cheap here.

[Tangy zizzle]

^^^ It is very, very good. My favourite Kyuss album - you'll like it.

[kirkrock85]

I think I've found some new friends in you guys all great music... I've been listening to a lot of the following lately:
Frank Zappa
Gentle Giant
Interpol
ATDI
Mars Volta
Kaddisfly
Minus the Bear
Q and not U
The Faint
Cafe Tacuba... eventhough I don't speak spanish
TV on the Radio
Badly Drawn Boy
Galactic
Incubus
The Pixies
Radiohead
Nick Cave
Wilco
The Roots
The Cure (the new album is pretty good, though it's kind of a throw back)
Sparta
Pink Floyd
and I got that new dang Used song stuck in my head.... it's really catchy for screamo

[kirkrock85]

I've been listening to Aphex Twin-26 mixes for cash (wierd, but in a good way) and Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains (still have not decided if its better than primus).
Aphex Twins creates some very bizarre music, but in the fuzzy artsy, listen to it with your girlfriend kind of music... I have also wonder which is better myself, but I have a soft spot for Primus, I kind of grew up listening to them, sooo... yeah, I think I Primus guy myself, but it's still claypool... the guy's never going to be boring, that's for sure

[kirkrock85]

I'm also fond of Netural Milk Hotel myself, I'm not sure why really... but, i just am... like, I'm not really all that into super heavy music, but I still listen to the blood brothers... it's strange really... then again though, i used to be a metalhead, i think i've still got the same funny bone

[OrbDragon]

Just borrowed

Joni Mitchell - Taming the Tiger
New Order - International

[shane italian]

In rotation lately:

Cap'n Jazz
Darkest Hour
Good Clean Fun

Wu-Tang Clan

[Doctor D.]

I've been enjoying recently:

MC Lars
Mr.Bungle
Cake (The new album totally owns)
Naked City
The Jesus and Mary Chain (Psycho candy mostly)

[kirkrock85]

Favourites at the moment;

Franz Ferdinand - Selft Titled
Modest Mouse - Good News For People Who Like Bad News
DJ Shadow - Endtroducing
Minus The Bear - Highly Refined Pirates
Q And Not U - No Kill No Beep Beep
It's refreshing to see someone else mention minusthebear and q and not u.... they're amazing. The new Modest Mouse is the best thing i've heard in some time as well...

[kirkrock85]

I another couple bands I've really been into lately has been Bright Eyes, i'm really getting in to Grey AM and Joy Division, Juliana Theory is pretty good too... also LAX, they're a rather obscure band for the late 70's and early 80's, it's new wave and they did a song called "Ronnie's Song"... obviously about President Reagan. I've been trying to find albums and I've had no luck, I heard they're all out of print... Anyone know where I could maybe find some LAX albums?

[Deathapalooza04]

Hmm, the new Modest Mouse did nothing for me. I like the music, but the singer...he's too modest and he sounds like a mouse.

[kirkrock85]

oh crap... I almost forgot... any of ya guys heard of cursive and/or murder by death (aka Little Joe Gould)... they're both incredibly amazing.... anything you can find of either one of these bands I highly recommend!

[Deathapalooza04]

cursive is allright.

[kirkrock85]

How do ya guys feel about the Secret Machines? I think the new album is very powerful, I really dig it. It's very Floyd-like or something that the effect.

[shane italian]

I really enjoy Cursive. My sister and I share their albums like a team.

[Iai]

Anyone else caught on to The Honeymoon yet? They're great.

[Zappa]

Rahsaan Roland Kirk!

Minus The Bear is good, but you can have too much. I can't listen to the entire album, just a few tracks, too many of them sound too similar.

[Tangy zizzle]

No.

Descripton puhlease.

Edit: to Iai's post.

[Interstate]

The Long Winters
Pedro The Lion
Iron And Wine
The Prom
John Vanderslice

[Tapeworm]

I've been heavily digging The Black Keys.

[Happymeal]

A lot of Two Ton Shoe right now. I miss funk rock back home:(

[Refl]

Lots of Bloc Party, great band and they were damn good live. The lead singer/guitarist Kele has real star quality goin for him.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm massively digging Nick Drake at the moment. Pink Moon is so great. So short but so great.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I'm massively digging Nick Drake at the moment. Pink Moon is so great. So short but so great.

Get Bryter Layter as soon as you see it, Pink Moon's essential but BL is a masterpiece in itself.

[Luxor]

The Grey Album is so good.

[Happymeal]

Ani Difranco's live version of Grey is so damn beautiful, dammit.

[Zappa]

Antipop Consortium are amazingly good.

[Iai]

Oh, yeah! The other APC. :cool: Haven't heard from those guys in a while. They kick it, though.

[Iai]

No.

Descripton puhlease.

Edit: to Iai's post.
About The Honeymoon? You'd have to call them pop, but they're pop in a way pop fans won't appreciate anywhere near as much as indie fans. Hugely melodic, really melancholy. They have a male and a female vocalist - I'm pretty sure they're just a duo and the guy does all the music.

They sound very Scandinavian. Which might seem an odd thing to say, but they do.

Try Reconcile if you wanna download something and check them out.

[Zappa]

Oh, yeah! The other APC. :cool: Haven't heard from those guys in a while. They kick it, though.

My friend told me about them last night, so I downloaded "Arrhythmia." It's AWESOME.

[Iai]

No problem. :)

I just listened to the Denali tracks I downloaded ages ago. I'm stunned. Great stuff.

[Zappa]

Hey Iai, you should come online so I can send you that Rahsaan Roland Kirk stuff that Medopalis and I enjoy so much.

[Iai]

Will do tomorrow. Backing up and formatting my PC right now. :upset:

[Happymeal]

I just listened to the Denali tracks I downloaded ages ago. I'm stunned. Great stuff.

I'm quite enjoying Kyuss and the other stuff I borrowed too.

[br3ad_man]

I still haven't found "The Inflated Tear" on Soulseek and I can't see your files either :upset:

[Happymeal]

Ooh, I'm starting to love Rahsaan. It's just like what my dad plays on his stereo, but I find this a lot more accessible and fun to listen to:)

[Zappa]

Bread, take the plunge into the word of AIM.

[kirkrock85]

man, i'm gone for a day and it's like 2 new pages already.... to think i missed out with a busted foot.... anyway, I've also been listening to a lot of ...trail of dead, the fall, de facto (i know, I'm a little whore to the ATDI guys), mae, keepsake, reggie and the full effect, church, echo and the bunnymen, richard chesse (lounge against the machine is hilarious!), the buzzcocks, the secret machines, elliot smith, jeff buckley, olivia tremor control, oui oui, of montreal, the stills, muse, bowie, e.l.o., time-lapse consortium, the velvet underground and brian eno...

[kirkrock85]

Massice Attack is brillant by the way :-).... almost forgot to... if you like mogwai check out Sigor ros and if you like sigor ros check out mogwai ;-)

[kirkrock85]

dammit... i forgot to mention mr.bungle and tomahawk....

[Tapeworm]

nice taste yo.

I just finished downloading The Grey Album, and dayum it's good.

[Tomahawk]

I'm listening to the new A Perfect Circle album. I'm not digging it though.

I've been digging The Mint Chicks, Kyuss, Pixies, and Fantomas.

[Iai]

kirkrock85 - I like your style. :cool:

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Dismemberment Plan.

But they piss me off, Emergency & I (only album I've heard) has some amazingly amazing songs, and a bunch of pretty darn good but not amazing songs, and then there's some stuff on there just plain sucks to me.

those "not so good songs" grow on you over time, its an amazingly solid album once you give it more time. also get Change, its also pretty consistant but a bit of an evolution in their music.

what on E & I dont you like that much?

[kirkrock85]

kirkrock85 - I like your style. :cool:
thanks, same to you

[kirkrock85]

Oh wow... one band i listened to and was very upset with is Posion the Well.... ick. They actually called themselves an emo band... so i was thinking along the lines of today's emo... your thursdays. thrices, the used even.... but, no it was like the new metallica (which was horrible, and I have every other metallica album) but with 10 year olds that didn't know how to play their instruments and has gastric disorders... it was the WORSE thing i've heard... maybe the nu-metal kids will like them

[Till_Lindeman001]

At the moment I'm obsessed with Happylife's debut album, "Sweet Resort". They're a new band from London that have many different styles of music, mostly Indie/Alternative, but sometimes sound like emo or just plain metal, the best songs off the album are "The Way You Hate Me", ""Perfect Sneer", "Final Alibi" and "My World"

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I think the ones that I actually dislike are "Spider in the Snow"... and maybe "You Are Invited"? Dunno, I can't play through it to make sure because daddy is watching tv and the computer is in the living room, etc. There's also about 2 other songs that I don't really dislike, but I don't like either... but since I don't really pay attention to song names, even with some of my favorite bands, I can't remember which ones are the pretty-darn-good-but-not-amazing songs and which ones are the don't-like-but-don't-dislike songs...

[Master Arkam Kannon]

You Are Invited really grows on you later, but at first it doesnt seem like that good of a song. Try to focus on the lyrics at a particular time and you'll really hear how uplifting it is.

[br3ad_man]

Bread, take the plunge into the word of AIM.

I've got an account, I've just gotta remmber my password. And to actually sign in :p

[Happymeal]

Get Rahsaan br3ad, it's worth it.

[Luxor]

Today I have listened to:

Alexisonfire - Watch Out!
Elliott Smith - From A Basement On The Hill
Explosions In The Sky - Both albums

So yeah, that's what I'm digging.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Tub Ring (I suggest you take a gander at them if you like Mr. Bungle) has a new album out, but I only got the first 2 songs from it so far.

But man, they're pretty groovy. If the rest is as good, it'll probably become my favorite Tub Ring album. Or at least tied for fav.

[guitfiddle24]

anybody who hasn't heard of bright eyes...should download (or buy) all of their albums...they're amazing...most heart felt lyrics i have ever heard...

and that's what i've been diggin lately.

[Reaganista]

i'm digging on rainer maria right now.

and pretty girls make graves.

[asymm]

Sigur Ros' first album Von was released yesterday (for the first time) in the States... so I've been listening to that...

[Doctor D.]

The same exact thing happend to me. I love that song more than......well, I like it a lot.

[Discord Theory]

I've been listening to a lot of Bright Eyes, Elliot Smith, and Explosions In The Sky tonight.

[Wanker]

The other night, I went on a downloading spree and ripped hundreds of songs from the computers of my fellow classmates.

I got: Belle and Sebatian, Jurassic 5, Elliott Smith, Grateful Dead, Sparta, Coheed and Cambria, AtDI and some more.

I've been listening to a lot of Explosions In The Sky tonight.

I listen to a lot of them every night :)

[br3ad_man]

I heard about that. Unfortunatly I haven't seen it in Australia yet :(

[Happymeal]

i'm digging on rainer maria right now.

They sound a bit like Death Cab with female vocals. Artificial Light is a pretty good song:)

[Reaganista]

They sound a bit like Death Cab with female vocals. Artificial Light is a pretty good song:)

yeah.

Sickbed is my favorite, though.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm not really getting into a lot at the moment.

No new bands have really wowed me recently, but I've been finding some really great bands from the past 20 or so years.

[Zappa]

I think Captain America should have been "The Great American Hero," but wasn't it G.I. Joe?

[Luxor]

Probably the best rap group out there.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I think Captain America should have been "The Great American Hero," but wasn't it G.I. Joe?

No, Cap's in the clear man. G.I. Joe was a Real American Hero.

[kirkrock85]

i've always liked the violent femmes... but, now I'm really getting into them right now... them and a lot of lou reed...

[kirkrock85]

Probably the best rap group out there.
I agree... the roots are also really good too...

[Zappa]

No, Cap's in the clear man. G.I. Joe was a Real American Hero.

Ah, sorry. It was 20 after 6 in the morning. I was in a dazzzzze.

[Happymeal]

Been listening to some metal, particularly Wormed and Unexpect, along with sentimental and horribly mushy stuff.

[biografiend]

mum and freezepop have been dominating my computer lately.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Romances by Patton/Kaada has leaked, but I can't listen to it yet (pappy's watching the boob tube). ,_,

Good lord I'm in agony here, the samples from a while back were so dang classy.

[Tomahawk]

Romances by Patton/Kaada has leaked
Where can I get my hands on this? I'm not that psyched about it, but I still want to hear it.

[br3ad_man]

Today I've listened to these bands:

Radiohead
Fantomas
Nirvana
Miles Davis
Weezer

I listened to "Delirium Cordia" today and I found it boring. It used to be my favourite Fantomas album but now I think it's my least favourite. I'd say the first album is my favourite now.

[Tangy zizzle]

The Directors Cut = Only really worthwhile Fant? album.

I've been listening to a lot of my old punk/pop-punk albums today.

How much do I love No Use For A Name? This ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Much.

[br3ad_man]

Hey Tangy! One of my mates from church is into These Arms Are Snakes. It's a girl too!

[Tangy zizzle]

Marry her.

Now.

Then make indie-children with her.

[br3ad_man]

Nah man, all the other stuff she listens to is like Dashboard and stuff. Plus shes not my type ;)

[OrbDragon]

I'm not going to download "Romances"...I much rather buy and and then hear it. From what I heard from the samples...it's gonna be amazing.

[Zappa]

The Directors Cut = Only really worthwhile Fant? album.


Not so. The self-titled is excellent. Delirium Cordia, on the other hand, is quite lame.

[Iai]

Marry her.

Now.

Then make indie-children with her.

I've noticed this theme appears a lot in your posts, Tangy....

[Zappa]

That's because Tangy longs for a woman.

[minnieme01]

aww...



(i've found that after all these years, my love for interpol still hasn't faded. yet perhaps that might be because antics made me realize how good they still are.)

[Tomahawk]

I've been heavily digging TV on the Radio. I'm listening to a recording of one of their concerts right now... it's really good, especially considering that they're such a studio band (what with the layered voices and the electronic beats and stuff).

Edit: if anyone wants to listen to it, it's at http://www.justconcerts.com/concerts/concert.cfm?Act_Id=381&Concert_Id=314&Band_Id=13098&secondaryconcert=n

Busted Stuff, Dave Matthews Band
Sketches of Spain
Milagro, Abraxas, Santana
Forever Delayed , Manic Street Preachers
14 Shades of Grey, Staind
Street Signs, Ozomatli
When I Woke, Rusted Root
Pickin' Up the Pieces: The Best of Average White Band (1974-1980)
A Rush of Blood to The Head, Coldplay
Tenderness, Al Jarreau

The last one usually plays when I'm nodding off to sleep......

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Where can I get my hands on this? I'm not that psyched about it, but I still want to hear it.

I got Romances from a group of my good internet buddies on Soulseek that always seem to be in-the-know with leaks and such... So it might not be spread around very much yet. I'm Kazzo on Soulseek if you don't mind really slow speeds, otherwise try getting it from [Starscream] or rf2202 or the_lethal_error I guess.

I'm not going to download "Romances"...I much rather buy and and then hear it. From what I heard from the samples...it's gonna be amazing.

I'm finally getting to listen to it now, up to song #6 right now. Oh god, it is amazing. Some parts I'm gonna have to give a few more listens before I can really absorb it all and start diggin' it more, but there's a lot of it that's instantly awesome.

[asymm]

Tim Hecker
Wolf Eyes
Okkervil River

[Tangy zizzle]

Not so. The self-titled is excellent. Delirium Cordia, on the other hand, is quite lame.

Well I've only heard half of it, so I can't really judge.

But Directors Cut > Delirium Cordia.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've noticed this theme appears a lot in your posts, Tangy....

Same here.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Oh God the harp in "Crepuscle"!

Don't mind me, I'm just going through Romances a second time. This is definitely in the running for album of the year for me. Maybe 2nd or 3rd place, but just by a tidbit.

[Tangy zizzle]

I dug out Yank Crime this morning. Do you guys realise the enormity of this bands (drive like jehu) greatness?

[br3ad_man]

I finally got around to getting not one, but two Weezer albums yesterday, Blue and Pinkerton. So I've been digging that. Plus a couple of cds from the Conservatiorium Jazz Orchestra. They're quite cool.

[Tapeworm]

I borrowed both Nelly Furtado albums from my friend yesterday. I have been meaning to buy both for years (well the new one only since it has been out), and they are both brilliant albums.

[Happymeal]

I'm soooo loving Crimes right now, and I'll review it one of these days. Man, that's gonna be a tough one..

[NineBitFable]

Fall of Troy, Symphony X, Rush and Porcupine... I love Porcupine Tree, and probably am going to pick up their album 'Signify' pretty soon, right now I only have 1 song from them I got from Progarchives.com, but they are just sooo good

[Happymeal]

Fall of Troy

:eek:

I love you.

[Iris]

I've only heard Rockstar Nailbomb, and I just got this symphony goin' by the Fall Of Troy, but both were excellent.

[NineBitFable]

Ohhh... hear Ghost Ship part 4 on Purevolume. Its insane.

[Happymeal]

I got their self-titled, reviewed it too. :-* I haven't heard the demo yet though(except for Ghostship Part 4, which is awesome). I'm really surprised a lot of people haven't heard them yet.

http://www.purevolume.com/thefalloftroy

*cough*Tangy*cough*

[Iris]

I've known about this band for a while, and I've listened to all of the songs on their purevolume page, but I forgot to include Ghostship Part 4.

[Tomahawk]

I'm really digging Prince right now. Purple Rain yo.

Prince is the man.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm digging Green Day in a major way. The new album is a nifty bit of songwriting if you ask me.

[Tangy zizzle]

Purple Rain is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. Get it in ya', jus' get it iiinnn ya.

[Tangy zizzle]

Just listened to the entire Hot Snakes discography while doing a tourism assignment. How cool are these guys?

Can anyone say "this much Tangy!" ?

[Tangy zizzle]

I can't download those tracks. Do you have to sign up or summin'?

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I finally got around to re-downloading Lumen's album The Man Felt an Iron Hand Grab Him by the Hair, at the Nape. Not One Hand, a Hundred Hands Seized Him, Each by the Hair, and Tore Him Head to Foot, the Way You Tear Up a Sheet of Paper, into Hundreds of Little Pieces earlier. Good stuff, post-rock centered on acoustic geetar.

[OrbDragon]

Ben Harpers - Live From Mars

I don't like all the songs as much...but the standout songs are REALLY standout.


I'm also digging:


Bob Log III
The Cramps
Nick cave & The Bad Seeds\
Elbow
Sarah Blasko
RX Bandits
Dead Moon (this is something you might like Tangy)

[Tapeworm]

I heard a Dead Moon song and it was horrible, it sounded like it was some kids messing around. (maybe it was).

Sarah Blasko!!! Yeahhhh.

[Happymeal]

I can't download those tracks. Do you have to sign up or summin'?

Just click on "Downloadable Songs" on that page. You should be able to get all 3 there.


Hm, my friend said Lost In Translation's OST good, so I'm checking that out. So far I'm liking Too Young by Phoenix.

[Tapeworm]

That soundtrack is awesome.

[Luxor]

I'm listening to "The Lonesome Crowded West" right now, so good.

[Iris]
