What I've Been Digging Lately

[EightMilesHigh]

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Radiohead - OK Computer
Pulp - Different Class

It's '90s British rock day.

Dave - holy christ**** MSP own so hard. I can't believe how long it took me to discover them.

[br3ad_man]

namelessnumberheadman
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Ryan Adams
Bruce Springsteen

[Zappa]

So I got St. Elsewhere and Yes, Virginia (Dresden Dolls) today. The former is as good as I remembered when I listened to it once on mp3. The latter is realllllly inconsistent to my ears, but some of its high points match up well with the stuff on their first record.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Radiohead - OK Computer
Pulp - Different Class

It's '90s British rock day.

Dave - holy christ**** MSP own so hard. I can't believe how long it took me to discover them.
This is like the 12th time this has happened and still you insist on not copying everything I listen to.

[NineBitFable]

Talking Heads- Remain in Light
Maximo Park- Apply Some Pressure

I'm currently obsessed with these two cds.

[Robert Crumb]

The Pipettes - We Are the Pipettes

phil spector angry raarrrr!

[Happymeal]

Peanut Butter Wolf - My Vinyl Weighs a Ton

It's my first time listening to this. Mr. Stones Throw does not disappoint.

[Tangy zizzle]

Hot Snakes - Peel Sessions
Black Mountain - Druganaut EP
Can - Soon Over Babaluma
High on Fire - Blessed Black Wings

I'm starting to dig heavy again, thus explaining the HoF.

[Dog]

All of my diggage for today and most of yesterday has been Trompe Le Monde and a lot of Ween.

[Zappa]

Played Pink Flag and Chairs Missing by Wire basically back to back tonight. I'm not sure that everyone here knows how much I admire the music this band made.

[Bartender]

The Pipettes - We Are the Pipettes

phil spector angry raarrrr!

I saw them live on some TV show a few days ago and they weren't very good. Is the album any better?

[Anxious]

I can't go a week without listening to We're Only in it for the Money.

[Robert Crumb]

I saw them live on some TV show a few days ago and they weren't very good. Is the album any better?

It's so sugary, it could make a hummingbird gag. But some songs are pretty catchy, even if they are disposable. Having never seen them on TV, I'd really think they'd be better live than on album really. Or at least nice to look at.

[Bukowski]

Slowdive - Souvlaki

I like this better than My Bloody Valentine i think

[Luxor]

Slowdive - Souvlaki

I like this better than My Bloody Valentine i think
Only Machine Gun

[Zappa]

There is so much anti-Slowdiving on this forum. I don't get it.

[sr800bkBassist]

Slowdive - Souvlaki

I like this better than My Bloody Valentine i think
Dagger, Machine Gun, When the Sun Hits, Some Velvet Morning, Souvlaki Space Station, and Allison are my favorite tracks. the rest are fillers.

i think if they had gotten rid of all those fillers and replaced them with songs of that quality, then this album could easily beat MBV.
but unfortunately that is not the case. and also, MBV did it first, so Slowdive owes them credit.

i still heart them though. very very very very much.

[Bukowski]

I agree that theres some filler. It's just that some of the best songs on this album are better than anything by MBV. In my opinion at least.

Right now, i'm listening to Bug by Dinosaur Jr. I'm seeing them wednesday, yay!

[sr800bkBassist]

I agree that theres some filler. It's just that some of the best songs on this album are better than anything by MBV. In my opinion at least.

Right now, i'm listening to Bug by Dinosaur Jr. I'm seeing them wednesday, yay!
lucky! you seen them before?
i saw them in August. amazing show. they played a lot of stuff off Bug and You're Living All Over Me.

the only problem was that they seemed very disconnected from the audience. but it was no big deal.

and there are few things as good as hearing Freak Scene and In a Jar live.

[Bukowski]

yeah, i also saw them last August. It was a great show, and there was thankfully alot of songs from the early albums. I'm not the biggest fan of what they did after Green Mind.

It's a great way to end a day when I have a damn physics exam.

[EightMilesHigh]

New York Dolls - New York Dolls

Today is one of those days when I need some brainless campy glam rock.

[Bartender]

It's so sugary, it could make a hummingbird gag. But some songs are pretty catchy, even if they are disposable. Having never seen them on TV, I'd really think they'd be better live than on album really. Or at least nice to look at.

They were, I suppose. They were in a club or something though, and the sound didn't seem very good.

Anyway, I've got enough stuff to check out that's actually from the 60s already.

[Dave de Sylvia]

New York Dolls - New York Dolls

Today is one of those days when I need some brainless campy glam rock.
:h5:

I gave this a spin this afternoon before returning to my steady diet of late-80s hip hop.

[Zebra]

I gave this a spin this afternoon before returning to my steady diet of late-80s hip hop.

I hope that Erik B. and Rakim's Paid in Full is part of that diet, because that's what I've been diggin' for the past few days.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Of course :cool:

[myiaa]

Why?

I can't decide if I like them or not. I don't think I will have an opinion either way. They are OK to listen to.

[br3ad_man]

I feel the same.

[Luxor]

Dagger, Machine Gun, When the Sun Hits, Some Velvet Morning, Souvlaki Space Station, and Allison are my favorite tracks. the rest are fillers.

i think if they had gotten rid of all those fillers and replaced them with songs of that quality, then this album could easily beat MBV.
but unfortunately that is not the case. and also, MBV did it first, so Slowdive owes them credit.

i still heart them though. very very very very much.
lol

"If they got rid of the songs that suck, and put in good ones it'd be a great album"

Isn't that the case with every album ever made.

[YDload]

lol

"If they got rid of the songs that suck, and put in good ones it'd be a great album"

Isn't that the case with every album ever made.

if At the Drive-In took out the sub-par songs from all of their albums, they would have about a seven song EP

oh wait they already did that! it was called "Vaya" and it's awesome :cool:

[sr800bkBassist]

lol

"If they got rid of the songs that suck, and put in good ones it'd be a great album"

Isn't that the case with every album ever made.
however, i was implying that those slowdive songs are better than the average band's songs, IMO.

so if every band took THEIR best songs on a CD and replaced all the fillers with songs of equal quality, it'd still leave the decision of which band had better songs up to the listener.

[Otherside]

I've been really into Illinoise latley, much more than I was when I first got the cd. I can't really explain what I love about it, it's just a great album.

[Scuba_Steve]

I've been listening to Gnarls Barkley alot, and I like the album more everytime I listen to it.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes
An Albatross - Blessphemy (of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear-Warp Kumite)
Sebadoh - III

[asdf]

I feel another residents phase coming on. My friend wants me to loan her some good albums, and just so I know I'm loaning the right ones, I've been listening to some.

Wow. I had only listened to George and James once or twice before. Even though I don't listen to Gershwin or James Brown, the album is so great. The residents take on these two artists is very well done. It's a very strong album. I've listened to it twice today.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I feel the same.
Yeah, well that's because you're an Aussie.

I can't decide if I like them or not. I don't think I will have an opinion either way. They are OK to listen to.
Yeah, well that's because you're an ethnic stereotype.

I've been re-discovering Deltron recently. I went off it for a while when everyone was sailvating all over it, but it really is a beautifully relaxing listen.

[sr800bkBassist]

anybody here dig The Willowz?

http://www.myspace.com/thewillowz if you haven't heard them.

[YDload]

Who was in here talking about Girl Talk?

I'm listening to the new album from an online radio station and it's pretty awesome. Samples of everything.

[Kurtz]

Can you post the link?

i'm really liking non-Reinventing Axl Rose material from Against Me!.

[Little Man being Erased]

I want this album.
No, you need it.



No. :no:
No? Yes? No, no, no? Yes! Yes! Yes!


But seriously, DIG:
The Flaming Lips - At War With the Mystics
Justin Timberlake - Justified
The Smiths - The Queen is Dead
Electrelane - The Power Out

[br3ad_man]

There are a couple of albums for $10 at the store that I want. Tweez by Slint and the self titled Smiths album. I can't buy them though, because I have to pay for a Splendour ticket. What a shame.

Anyway, I've been digging Either/Or. It's so soothing.

[EightMilesHigh]

[Interstate]

Today:

Red House Painters - Red House Painters I - Listened to this on the way back from taking my girlfriend to the coach station so she could get home. Made me feel really shitty afterwards.

Cocteau Twins - Treasure - First listen of this. It's relaxing if not a little weird.

[el doctor]

The New Pornographers

You know, normally you're supposed to have a temporary obsession right after you see a band, but it's infecting me around 2 months after the fact.

[Mr Observations]

Talk Talk - Laughing Stock

New Grass, what a moving song.

[Doctor D.]

I'm listening to the new album from an online radio station and it's pretty awesome. Samples of everything.

Yo RZA, yo razor!
Hit me with the major
The damage, my Clan understand it be flavor
Gunnin, hummin comin atcha
First I'm gonna get ya, once I got ya I Gat ya
You could never capture the Method Man's stature
For rhyme and for rapture, got niggaz resigning, now master
my style? Never! I put the ****ing buck in the wild kid, I'm terror
Razor sharp, I sever
the head from the shoulders, I'm better tham my compeda
you mean competitor, whadeva!
Let's get together

Those are some of the worst lyrics I've ever read.

[ATM]

It's all in the delivery.

[JonM]

I'm digging Múm again. Why don't I ever remember how much I love all their records? I listen to them about once every three months, and each time I love it and then forget to listen to it for three months.

Deathprod - 6-track 10"

It's the best album of his that isn't TMR. I don't know if I can call it better than that monster of an album, however.

[Kyle]

Pretty cool week, but it appears to have missed some of what I listened to, as well. It doesn't count what you play on your iPod, even though iTunes does. Does it?Na, I wish it counted Ipod stuff though, it would give a much fairer reflection of what I listen to.

Somewhere out there, there is a band called Manfactory. -10/10

Tom Petty - various

"I Won't Back Down", "The Waiting", "Refugee", "You Wreck Me", holy crap. Some of the best rock/pop songs ever written.
**** yeah, Tom Petty is awesome.

I second your **** yeah.

[Little Man being Erased]

**** yeah.





I'm listening to Tool - Ænima.

[pixiesfanyo]

Kayo Dotting

[el doctor]

"Temptation" is the greatest pop song ever written. I would go as far as to say it is my favourite song ever.I'm always hesitant to make bold statements like that, but seriously, pop doesn't get much better than that.

Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon

I always tend to put this one aside because of the over exposure and because it's just not my favorite Pink Floyd album. However, I was listening to it while driving home tonight and it really just seemed to fit the mood perfectly.

[ATM]

Wire - Pink Flag

Competely unrelated to Zappa's avatar, I swear. I just downloaded it and it is great.

Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue cuts me to the core.

It's not my favorite either, and it does get hyped up sooooo much, but all in all it's a solid record.

Gnarls Barkley and fIREHOSE.

Hahahaha, dude, Gnarls Barkley was seriously the gayest thing I've ever heard. My friend made me download a song and it was god awful. No offense to you or anything, I just think Gnarls Barkley is gay.

[Bartender]

I'm not sure why Amazon felt it necessary to so heartily recommend to me the forthcoming Twilight Singers release, but it has at least got me listening to Gentlemen again.

Britney Spears
/salute

I haven't listened to much music today since I've spent most of the day panicking, but I did manage to fit in:

Dodgy - Free Peace Sweet
Motley Crue - Shout At The Devil

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Beulah
Clutch
Rwake
QotSA

I like when my band names fit neatly into a block formation.

[EightMilesHigh]

The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

I'm too poor right now to afford their new album, so I'll just rock out to this this sunny afternoon.

[Happymeal]

MF Doom
Frodus
Panthers
Hot Snakes

My friend got me into Frodus, who play "pseudo-emo post-hardcore punk". They're not at all mindblowing but I hear some NoU influences here and there, which is good enough for me.

[Little Man being Erased]

Joy Division - Closer

Still don't really like this album very much. It's OK, I guess.

[BillCosby]

I'm liking the Kooks more than I expected to.

[sr800bkBassist]

Flaming Lips- "Hit to Death in the Future Head"
disgustingly underrated. why doesn't anybody ever talk about this?
it's so cool, you can tell it's the Flaming Lips, but the style is wayyyy out there. like loud, noisy, distorted and fuzzy crazy psychedelic punk, with all the fun melodies that make the Lips who they are.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah that's my opinion of Closer too.
Is Unknown Pleasures better?

[pixiesfanyo]

Modern Life is War - Witness

Probably one of the most emotional albums I've ever listened too.

[Kurtz]

Girl Talk

this is the ****

[BillCosby]

That album is pretty awesome.

Modern Life is War, that is, though Girl Talk probably is too.

[Jacaranda]

Pulp - Different Class

Just reminds me I still need to check out This Is Hardcore.

[Little Man being Erased]

Just reminds me I still need to check out This Is Hardcore.
Yeah me too. I should have a nice new copy of His 'n' Hers waiting for me when I get home tomorrow. :)

[Robert Crumb]

Chico Buarque - Construção

Very cool album so far, my first listen. Appropriately relaxed and bouncy. Also, I meant to give that Girl Talk thing a listen today while I was at school, but I forgot. Tomorrow then.

Edit: Not really bouncy. I'm not sure what the adjective I'm looking for is.

The Von Bondies - Pawn Shoppe Heart

[The Great Decay]

Elliott Smith
Nick Drake

Modern Life is War - Witness

Probably one of the most emotional albums I've ever listened too.
Witness is better than My Love, My Way.. but the first 7" owns them both.

[Daniel!]

The Phantom Surfers - 18 Deadly Ones
Various Artists - Toes On the Nose

And I'm downloading a Ventures album right now that I shall hopefully be digging soon.

Is Unknown Pleasures better?

Oh my God yes.

Well I might give either that or Substance a go, before I completely dismiss Joy Division.

[Zmev]

Go with Unknown Pleasures

[br3ad_man]

New Order are just way better. But Substance owns Closer.

My friend got me into Frodus, who play "pseudo-emo post-hardcore punk". They're not at all mindblowing but I hear some NoU influences here and there, which is good enough for me.

Frodus are a cool band.

disgustingly underrated. why doesn't anybody ever talk about this?

I do.

[Zmev]

Cut Chemist - Rare Equations
Manic Street Preachers - Forever Delayed

[br3ad_man]

After about two and a half years, I'm finally starting to dig Surfer Rosa. Everything up to "Where Is My Mind??" is gold so far. I guess some records just eventually click. I think my favourite songs are the shorter ones, like "Broken Face" and "Something Against You".

[Zebra]

Oingo Boingo - Only a Lad

My favorite new-wave/post-punk album of the 80's. Elfman is a genius.

[asymm]

My Bloody Valentine - Glider EP
Yo La Tengo - Summer Sun

[Robert Crumb]

Chico Buarque - Construção still. This album is ****ing awesome. Creepier sounding than you'd expect. Especially the title track. The one thing I always wonder as I listen to male Brazilian singers, though, is why do they all sing through their nose? It doesn't bother me, but I mean, almost every one of 'em.

[asymm]

Sonic Youth - Bad Moon Rising
I'm loving these dark, broken '80s Sonic Youth sounds. It's quite brooding and strong. Excellent record.

[Little Man being Erased]

NoMeansNo - Wrong

[EightMilesHigh]

Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music For Airports

[pixiesfanyo]

Pram - Dark Island

Post-Rock that is kind of like the music you'd expect to happen during the stuff you'd see in a Lynch movie. Really good stuff.

[YDload]

Yes exactly. "Broken Face" and "Something Against You" are among my favorites as well, same with "Oh My Golly!" for similar reasons. I love to play "Broken Face" on bass because it's just a simple, fun bassline. Like most of them.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Manic Street Preachers - Forever Delayed
I actually might hate that album, just becuase it cuts all my favourite bits out.

[Kyle]

I've heard people say that they don't like the song 'Red Brick' of Surfer Rosa, I find that amazing. I really should listen to The Pixies again soon, it's been ages.

[slack]

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Bravery Repetition And Noise
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Howl

[br3ad_man]

Yes exactly. "Broken Face" and "Something Against You" are among my favorites as well, same with "Oh My Golly!" for similar reasons. I love to play "Broken Face" on bass because it's just a simple, fun bassline. Like most of them.

I used to think that a lot of the short tracks were really annoying, but I'm starting to see how they're great.

[YDload]

I used to think that a lot of the short tracks were really annoying, but I'm starting to see how they're great.

I even like Tony's Theme, although the vocal melody is pretty much identical to "Cactus" :):(

[Bartender]

I have a soft spot for Tony's Theme.

[YDload]

Hell yes, I finally have neighbors on last.fm. One of them is a guy who listens to "Pearl Bomb" by Melvins nonstop, and another is some guy who apparently listened to the new RHCP and Tool albums all week (number of listens for each artist is identical to the number of tracks on the new albums!).

Also I got a top songs list as well:

1 Drive Like Jehu - Golden Brown 7
2 Minus the Bear - Thanks for the Killer Game of Crisco Twister 6
2 NoMeansNo - Rags And Bones 6
2 Mastodon - Megalodon 6
5 Sublime - Same in the End 5
5 Minus the Bear - Spritz!! Spritz!!! 5
5 The Dillinger Escape Plan - Panasonic Youth 5
8 Dead Kennedys - Police Truck 4
8 Pixies - Broken Face 4
8 Queens of the Stone Age - Go With the Flow 4
8 Yes - Heart of the Sunrise 4
8 Melvins - Honey Bucket 4
8 At the Drive-In - Ticklish 4
8 Minus the Bear - We Are Not a Football Team 4
8 Iron Maiden - Killers 4
8 NoMeansNo - Big Dick 4
8 The Replacements - Bastards of Young 4
8 Bear vs. Shark - Buses/No Buses 4
8 Hüsker Dü - The Biggest Lie 4
8 Mastodon - Ísland 4
8 Minus the Bear - The Game Needed Me 4

:)

[NineBitFable]

I've been seriously digging bootlegs of Daft Punks Coachella performance on YouTube. Anyone who can make twiddling freaking knobs on a board look like the single greatest and exciting thing ever deserves my time. Not to mention that the robot masks are just awesome.

[Little Man being Erased]

"Rags and Bones" is my favourite NoMeansNo song.



Ben Folds Five - Ben Folds Five
Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm warming to this Gnarls Barkley jazz, but I still don't think it's as remarkable as people are making out.

Manic Street Preachers - Generation Terrorists
Gilby Clarke - '99 Live

[ATM]

K-os - Exit

Man, I really dig this.

[Zebra]

Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

[pixiesfanyo]

NOFX - The Decline

Yay.

[br3ad_man]

Nay.

[pixiesfanyo]

Nay.

How can you not like the Decline?

[Little Man being Erased]

Gay.

Dang.

[Zmev]

Yay

[ATM]

I used to really like NOFX, Rancid, Guttermouth,etc when I was a freshman.

[EightMilesHigh]

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Psychocandy

Another amazing band I discovered thanks to MX. Possibly my favorite noise rock/shoegaze album ever, it's like Brian Wilson and Phil Spector meet Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.

[Robert Crumb]

Pere Ubu - Dub Housing

[Jacaranda]

I just listened to 10,000 Days, it sucked but I kind of expected that since I don't like Tool.

Now I've got Velvet Underground - VU & Nico playing much better.

[Zorg]

The Jesus Lizard - Goat

I felt like kicking *** today. But it rained. But I listened to it non-stop anyway.

[Zmev]

/wore my dj shadow shirt today :cool:

hayward rep'

[The Great Decay]

Fugazi - 13 Songs
Cat Power - Moon Pix

[sr800bkBassist]

How can you not like the Decline?
NOFX is a bunch of guys in their 40's who still dye their hair, wear shorts, and sing about farts.
you have great taste, but this time i must say you've gone too far.

[br3ad_man]

How can you not like the Decline?

I can't say I've heard, but if everything else I've heard is anything to go on, NOFX are one of the lamest bands in the world.

[BillCosby]

The Good Life - Album of the Year

I love everything on the album, but "Inmates" is by far my favorite.

[The Great Decay]

The Good Life - Album of the Year

I love everything on the album, but "Inmates" is by far my favorite.

That's my favourite song on the album, too.

[br3ad_man]

Soul-Junk - 1956

Probably my favourite modern hip-hop act. I've also been digging The Queen Is Dead.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere

I now understand why so many people around here like this album.

[pixiesfanyo]

Punk in Drublic is a pop-punk classic.

The Decline is a 18 minute song that is great.

I mean sure, most of their discography is the same three chord pop songs about hating hippies, but when they are on they are a very catchy talented band. It's just like listening to someone like Coldplay, or Blink 182. They are pretty bad for the most part, but when they are doing everything they can do right they are really good.

[talk show host]

I agree, The Decline is awesome.

I agree with this. I've always like their early stuff, such as Ribbed and White Trash, Two Heebs, and a Bean[/i] but almost everything after '96 was awful.

[impressive]

how good are the black keys they are bloody great. I have been listening to a lot of chikinki lately pumpng myself up for friday night do you knoe them?

[Robert Crumb]

Miles Davis - On the Corner

This is pretty sweet. Fonké.

and Butch Walker?

Letters is an awesome album. I may have to put that on too.

[Robert Crumb]

That's not one of my favorite Miles Electric recordings. It's so crazy.

I haven't heard much of his gone electric stuff. I like the beat, it kind of seems to ground pretty much everything else here for me, even though the grooves get spastic, too. But otherwise, yeah, pretty crazy.

[ATM]

That's such an amazing album.

Yea, it's a lot of fun. I was bumpin that **** at work today.

[Happymeal]

Soul-Junk - 1956

Probably my favourite modern hip-hop act. I've also been digging The Queen Is Dead.

Does it sound very different from 1958?

The Decline is a great song, I agree with pixies.

[Lexxy]

i've really been enjoying the latest from isobel campbell & mark lanegan. it's called ballad of the broken seas - they're sound is very beauty meets beast. i can't stop singing 'do you wanna'!! i love it!!!!

The Telepathic Butterflies - Introducing the Telepathic ButterfliesThat's a really fun album. I think they're one of the better Kinks inspired bands I've heard.

Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Live at the Wetlands
The Velvet Underground - Loaded

I'm doing a research paper on the Velvets and I'm finding a lot of little, unique touches in their music that I hadn't noticed as much before.

Not nearly as gangster as yours.

[Zmev]

After extensive studies I have concluded rap is the music to drive to, not rock.

[YDload]

Rock is highway music but rap is for when you're goin slow or stuck in traffic.

[Jacaranda]

Been listening to Radiohead - The Bends and yet again concluded its my favorite and only album of Radiohead that I really listen to.

I always listen to pop when I drive.

[Zmev]

Zmev, DMD, BC = A/I Gangstas

Jacaranda = Princess

[br3ad_man]

Does it sound very different from 1958?

I'm not very familiar with that album. It sounds like really wacky experimental hip-hop.

Goo Goo Dolls - Dizzy Up the Girl

For the most part, this album sucks. However, there are a few tracks that are absolutely great ("Dizzy", "Slide", "Broadway" and "Black Balloon").

Exactly.

Diggage:

Death Cab For Cutie
The Smiths
Trophy Scars
The Cure

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I I I, I I I know how to transform..I can transform..I'll transform, I'm a transformerrr.
Damn song is in my head. :(

The Organ - Grab That Gun (absolutely spectacular - fans of The Smiths, check them out right now)

Butch Walker - Left Of Self-Centered
The Verve - A Northern Soul

I think A Northern Soul is a better record than Urban Hymns, cultural significance aside.

[Little Man being Erased]

I think I might be in the right frame of mind to listen to Butch Walker again. I didn't really think much of Letters when I first heard it but I'ma give it another shot.

With my newfound interest in Pop n all.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Pop :cool:

Yeah you should always find yourself in the right frame of mind for The Walker.

[Little Man being Erased]

Pop is popular for a reason. :cool:

No, Reel Big Fish, no!

[Little Man being Erased]

Yes, dei, yes!






some of their stuff anyway

The Small Faces - Ogden's Nut Gone Flake

The Futureheads - News and Tributes

I didn't really like their first album, but you could tell they were really trying to do something neat unlike a lot of similiar minded bands. I'm still not sold, but this is nice. "Skip To the End" is easily better than anything I've heard from them. Probably one of the catchier tunes I've heard this year. Handclapper it is. Title track is good, too.

[rocker diva]

the loon by tapes n tapes is cool.
also the new aloha.

Listen to Mountain (Album Version) by Aloha : http://www.napster.com/player/tracks/16565611

[YDload]

These Internet radio stations on iTunes are pretty good. Since I'm not connected to my school's shared network in the summer, I have to figure out ways to hear lots of different songs without paying for it.

Heard a Built To Spill song "Kicked It In The Sun" which is just another reason that I need to get Perfect From Now On as soon as possible.

[Luxor]

Elliott Smith binge

[Jacaranda]

Iron and Wine - Woman King
Can't wait to see uh, him at Sasquatch!

"Skip to the End" is a totally rad track. So dang catchy. I, like you, wasn't very impressed by what I heard off their debut but I'm gonna check that album out.



Yeah Grab That Gun is great. The guitarist sounds more like Johnny Marr than Johnny Marr does nowadays.
Hah, truth.

[FUnkarockadrummer]

new tool album.

Been smashing it lately.

Interpol - "turn on the bright lights' has made a bit of a resurgence in my playlist.

[Little Man being Erased]

Pixies - Surfer Rosa

Oh man oh man, this shits all over Doolittle.





That's not to say Doolittle ain't good.

[Bukowski]

Frank Zappa - We're Only in it For The Money

[pixiesfanyo]

King Crimson - Red
King Crimson - The Power To Believe

It's interesting how different yet how good both of these albums are. Starless has Fripp's best guitar work, man is it good.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Mazzy Star, Mozart, and Björk.

Pixies - Surfer Rosa

Oh man oh man, this shits all over Doolittle.





That's not to say Doolittle ain't good.

I'm not so sure.
I mean...it has Bone Machine and stuff...I dunno, maybe I just need to listen to it more.

[Little Man being Erased]

No way, it hit me straight away. I love it. I'm becoming a Pixies fan. Yo.

[pixiesfanyo]

funnyz.

Surfer Rosa is their best, anyone that says otherwise can suck on deez nuts.

[asdf]

For some reason, Surfer Rosa just didn't get to me like it seems to for most people. Doolittle is definitely my favorite.

[pixiesfanyo]

You didn't listen to it enough.

GZA - Liquid Swords

THE GENIUS!

[pixiesfanyo]

GZA and RZA wreck Method.

[Little Man being Erased]

Orange Juice and Trashcan Sinatras are both completely awesome.

Listen to Ripe Fruit by Double : http://www.napster.com/player/tracks/15973139

The new Razorlight single 'In The Morning'. Am not really a Razorlight fan but the new single has a lot more personality and direction than anything on the first record ever did. That and **** loads of Manic Street Preachers stuff.

Cap'n Jazz.

[sr800bkBassist]

Ghost Mice

Everything except Europe which I didn't think was very good. Everything else they've done is awesome.

yeah, Europe was good, but the thing it lacked was the ability to relate, since the other things they have done have been songs that anyone could play on guitar and sing and completely relate to, whereas Europe has such and exclusive story only to the band members, it seems like it lacks purpose compared to the others.
