What I've Been Digging Lately

[Kyle]

I'd give my left nut to see him live. That beatbox song on LAS is incredible. I've heard he puts on quite a show.Yeah, he's pretty incredible. It was only really chance that I noticed tickets on sale at a ticket site I go on; it wasn't advertised on any of his websites. Great show though, great beatbox section, and I spoke to the bassist after who gave me a setlist :).

Listening to Shake Off The Dust right now, I much prefer it to Youth. Not sure how I rate it against Live At Stubbs though.

[Smackers]

Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention

Seriously, it's been over a year since I last listened to Uncle Meat, Burnt Weenie Sandwhich and Weasels Ripped my Flesh. I'm enjoying this now more than ever.

[EightMilesHigh]

digging Matisyahu - Youth

Goddamn I need to see him live.

audrey tautou

aka my future wife

[pixiesfanyo]

^ she's nasty.

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders

The production/beats on this album are so fine.

[Kyle]

A Tribe Called Quest - [I]Midnight Marauders[/IGreat album, I should probably listen to this more.

[asymm]

Kieran Hebden & Steve Reid - The Exchange Session Vol. 1
Now The Exchange Session Vol. 2. This is the better of the two, a little more action, and a considerable amount more of seemingly conscious interplay between the players.

[prurient]

A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
My mother and I have probably purchased this album about six times. I got tired of losing it and having it stolen, so I downloaded it. :(

[Interstate]

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts Of The Great Highway
The Cars - Greatest Hits

[Interstate]

very good call.

It's been growing on me. I'm not sure whether I like it more than RHP.

[Matt?]

state route 522

i posted a sick vid of these guys a few pages back.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Strokes - First Impressions of Earth

[Matt?]

MEAT PUPPETS REUNITED

sweet! hopefully they'll be good again

[Interstate]

Scarface - The Diary

oh man what a good album. Scarface has one of the coolest voices in rap.

The Diary is sick as hell. Definitely one of the best hip hop/rap albums ever.

[Interstate]

I was thinking it'd be kind of a disposable but fun album, but I'm definitely leaning towards agreeing with you. Almost every track is awesome.

I've heard a couple of songs from other albums and I have The Fix (which is watered down R&B which isn't really my thing) and none of them even touch anything off The Diary. The group he was in before he went 'solo' (The Geto Boys) are good stuff too, pretty violent, but still good.

Just put on Slowdive - Souvlaki - I'm starting to like this more on repeated listens. Glad I gave it another chance.

[Jawaharal]

Band Of Bees are awesome.

[BillCosby]

^ she's nasty.

in bed OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



I'm still on an Against Me! kick.

[Anxious]

MEAT PUPPETS REUNITED

This is like two weeks old.

But yeah it shall be good.

[prurient]

Detachment Kit - Of This Blood.

I like it.

[Matt?]

This is like two weeks old.

But yeah it shall be good.
i didn't realize

final fantasy right now

but i'm kinda itchign to put on jawbreaker after reading dmd's posts

[asymm]

The Rolling Stones - Aftermath
Danielson - Ships
^ Not exactly digging this too much. It sounds like Architecture in Helsinki molesting the Decemberists with the aid of a kids choir. I enjoy the expansiveness of many of the tracks, but the vocals and the general high-pitch of it all can grate on one's nerves over time.

[sr800bkBassist]

in bed OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH



I'm still on an Against Me! kick.
they've got to be my least favorite folk-punk band. not even really folk-punk anymore though.

[Luxor]

Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted
Modest Mouse - This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About

[Matt?]

definitely joy division right now.

disorder
love will tear us apart
dead souls
days of the lord

[Tangy zizzle]

^agreed^

Diggage:

Cursive - The Ugly Organ
The Drips - The Drips(Bronx fans will love this)
Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral

I'm diggin' Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra & Wires on Fire.

i have a problem with agreeing.

[asymm]

The Knife - Silent Shout
When I first listened to this I didn't enjoy it in the least. It felt awkward and overly eccentric. But now, listening to it more and more, I've grown to appreciate the atmosphere and the sheer variety of sounds the group creates. Surprisingly, all of them are successful. Growing into one of my favorites from this year.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Anathallo - Floating World

The Rolling Stones - Aftermath
Danielson - Ships
^ Not exactly digging this too much. It sounds like Architecture in Helsinki molesting the Decemberists with the aid of a kids choir. I enjoy the expansiveness of many of the tracks, but the vocals and the general high-pitch of it all can grate on one's nerves over time.

I don't like what I've heard of The Decemberists, but I really like that Danielson album. It doesn't seem grating at all to me for some reason, I know it should.

[Tangy zizzle]

Detachment Kit - Of This Blood.

I like it.

This new? I have one of their albums (something about asilent army?) and it's kinda cool.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

The soundtrack to my upcoming first amateur attempt at a little short film... I keep playing it to help plan the timing and shots and such.

Braniac - Pussyfootin'
String Tribute to Slayer - War Ensemble
Cake - The Distance
Mark Mothersbaugh - Ping Island (Life Aquatic soundtrack)
Fantomas - The Omen (Ave Satani)
The Unicorns - Les Os
Tom Waits - Anywhere I Lay My Head

'Tis to be a poignant tale of a little pirate-skull-shaped piggy bank coming to life, escaping the house, riding a bike, dancing in competition vs. the Cowboy Ninja, fighting and brutally slaying the Cowboy Ninja, and eventually becoming distraught and committing suicide. Part stop motion, part live, and one intense "animated" scene where I videotape a bunch of ghetto poorly-drawn crayon-on-paper semi-anime-ish pictures with dramatically moving camera shots...

It will be epic.



Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral

Mmmm, that sounds nice right about now, I'mma put it in. I haven't spun it in ages man.

[Interstate]

^agreed^

Diggage:

Cursive - The Ugly Organ
The Drips - The Drips(Bronx fans will love this)
Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral

I'm gonna have to check this out.

On the way to work:

Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind
Method Man & Redman - Blackout!

Plus a few Matisyahu songs. I so need to see him live.

[sketchyjoe]

Your Heart Breaks: Awesome low-fi folky pop, like Michael Jordan Touchdown Pass but with female vocals. There are some songs here. (http://www.archive.org/details/masa028)

Lots of catchy pop-punk: The Copyrights, Radon, Visqueen, The Modern Machines, The Marked Men etc

Jumbo Shrimp: Great post-DK surf instrumentals from East Bay Ray and Klaus Flouride.

[br3ad_man]

My last.fm player just came up with a live version of "Back of a Car" by Big Star which is even better than the studio version. What a great band, completely ahead of their time.

I've got Radio City and #1 Record and I just don't see what's so good about either. I should probably give them another chance.

I've pretty much been listening to Diary and Surfer Rosa, they're both amazing. Been listening to a bit of Fugazi as well.

[pixiesfanyo]

Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind

[NineBitFable]

Maximo Park- Apply Some Pressure

[prurient]

Cansecos - Cansecos.

[prurient]

Don't listen to AFI.

[Dave de Sylvia]

There's nothing bizarre about the truth.

I just got some CDs from the library. Listening to Horslips now.

[cb240]

God I hate that fruity lead singer for AFI... he wears more makeup than Christina Aguilera and his manners and facial expressions are the fruitiest things I have ever seen in my whole life, and that includes drag shows.

[Kyle]

By my experience, people who say 'fruity', are usually pretty fruity themselves.

Listening to the new Dresden Dolls album again for the first time since the short while after it was released. I'm really enjoying it, excellent stuff.

[Montana]

Rocky Votolato-Makers and Suicide Medicine.

[Lexxy]

there's this really cool new band from brooklyn called beirut. they're amazing!
very old worldly sounding!
check out Scenic World by Beirut : http://www.napster.com/player/tracks/16735235

[prurient]

Beirut is good.

[Little Man being Erased]

This is bizarre but the new AFI single is pretty catchy. His voice is light years better than it used to be.
I didn't think much of it at first, but after a few more plays it started creeping into my subconscious. I like it. I wanna check the album out.


On my 15 minute trip to work this morning I listened to:

I Heart Hiroshima - A Three Letter Word for Candy

[sr800bkBassist]

Your Heart Breaks: Awesome low-fi folky pop, like Michael Jordan Touchdown Pass but with female vocals. There are some songs here. (http://www.archive.org/details/masa028)

Lots of catchy pop-punk: The Copyrights, Radon, Visqueen, The Modern Machines, The Marked Men etc

Jumbo Shrimp: Great post-DK surf instrumentals from East Bay Ray and Klaus Flouride.
Your Heart Breaks are playing at my friend's house on the 18th!

[Bukowski]

Jumbo Shrimp: Great post-DK surf instrumentals from East Bay Ray and Klaus Flouride.

I haven't even heard of this. I'll chcek it out.

I'm diggin the Silver Jews and Thelonious Monk earlier today. And now Throbbing Gristle.

[Iron Bug]

God I hate that fruity lead singer for AFI... he wears more makeup than Christina Aguilera and his manners and facial expressions are the fruitiest things I have ever seen in my whole life, and that includes drag shows.
I like how you've seen drag shows.

I'm liking Four Tet lately.

[Daniel!]

Ted Leo/the Pharmacists

Haven't listened to them in a long time. They still rock.

[BillCosby]

I like how you've seen drag shows.

I'm liking Four Tet lately.

you haven't?

what are you, gay

[Jawaharal]

Nomo makes me want to shake my rump

[Robert Crumb]

Beirut is good.

Gonna look into this, what I've read sounds interesting.

Listening to Ennio Morricone right now, Stereolab, Mr. Lif and Wasteland earlier.

[Bartender]

The Sunshine Fix - Age of the Sun

And liking it a lot more than the last time (which was also the first time, I think) that I listened to it. Might even like it as much as the OTC; most of the actual songs are really pretty good.

[Iron Bug]

you haven't?

what are you, gay
Pretty much.

[Kyle]

Wow, I knew Dresden Dolls did a mean war pigs cover, but there are also clips of them covering 'I Love rock and Roll' and 'Hallelujah' on youtube. I'm loving these guys today, just ordered their DVD.

[ATM]

Yea, I just got there s/t and I really like it.

[Kyle]

Yea, I just got there s/t and I really like it.Yeah, it's definately their best album. The new album is solid, and worth a listen, but lacks some of the wildness from the first.

[ATM]

Yeah, it's definately their best album. The new album is solid, and worth a listen, but lacks some of the wildness from the first.

yea I got Yes Virginia as well, and I definantly like the s/t better. Yes Virginia does have its moments tho.

[YDload]

The Dresden Dolls are just The White Stripes with the roles reversed. And since the latter band recently added some keys and a more macabre spirit to their last album, the lines are blurred even further.

[prurient]

YDload, you racist pig, get out of my forum.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Dresden Dolls never did it for me. I think it's because of the singer, she's kind of obnoxious.
I feel the same way.

[BringHomeTheBacon]

Jimmy Eat World- Clarity
This has been one of my favorite albums for a while, but now I've started to love songs I didn't care for before- like "Table For Glasses" "Ten" and "12.23.95".

[Little Man being Erased]

Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight
Cursive - The Ugly Organ

How could I not? Two of my favourite albums ever.

[Luxor]

I just listened to Suicide Invoice

[EightMilesHigh]

The Verve - Urban Hymns

Good stuff. Kinda makes me wish they were still around, or that I was old enough to see them when they were big.

Might put on Jeff Buckley's Grace later tonight.

[Little Man being Erased]

I just listened to Suicide Invoice
I need that.

[pixiesfanyo]

If there is a signed petition, can a member of the forums be banned?

I'm diggin' August Born's LP.

Which I just got on vinyl today, after about an 8 month wait.

[pep]

X Japan - Art of Life... awesome song, even though its a live version and its 34 min. long.

[YDload]

If there is a signed petition, can a member of the forums be banned?

who ya got in mind?

[prurient]

who ya got in mind?
Me.

[Jawaharal]

Velvet Underground and Nico

I'm trying very hard to give this a second chance and like it. I don't think I'll ever like it =(

[Happymeal]

I almost feel the same way for that album.

[Jawaharal]

I mean some of its cool. Sunday Morning and Herion are awesome and I'm Waiting For My Man would be alot better if it didn't drag on for an hour. And Nico's voice sucks.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Cerberus Shoal - Homb

This is the first thing I've heard by them... and boy howdy, those Kayo Dot/maudlin of the Well chaps are definitely influenced by this stuff.

Digggg.

[Kyle]

The Dresden Dolls are just The White Stripes with the roles reversed. And since the latter band recently added some keys and a more macabre spirit to their last album, the lines are blurred even further.The one key difference is that neither member of the Dresden Dolls is the equivalent of the Meg White. The Dresden Dolls aren't held back by a poor drummer, both musicians are vary capable.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Freescha - Slower Than Church Music
This is very good, very Boards of Canada-esque.

& other various albums including some Throbbing Gristle, Thom Yorke, Xiu Xiu, Danielson, blah blah

[Bartender]

Botch - An Anthology of Dead Ends

Liking this a lot more this time around, too. Maybe I should just stop buying new things for a while.

[br3ad_man]

More Pixies, SDRE and Fugazi. Some Devendra Banhart and Miles Davis tonight too.

[ATM]

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations (I admit it)
Mum- Finally We Are No One
Fall of Troy - Doppelganger
MF Doom - Special Herbs and Spices Vol 1

[Sepstrup]

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations (I admit it)

Arrest this man!

Pharoahe Monch - Internal Affairs
Kanye West - Late Registration
Why? - Elephant Eyelashes
Martha Wainwright - s/t

[ATM]

Arrest this man!

Why? - Elephant Eyelashes



:-O


That's one wacky album.

[Sepstrup]

Yeah, but it's pretty good, too. They're playing at Roskilde Festival, so I thought I'd check them out.

[Kayetan]

Little Wings- Light Green Leaves

[AlternativeX]

Toadies- rubberneck CD
Screaming Trees are good
Alice in Chains- Dirt is a classic that im re vistiting
yea so good stuff

[Matt?]

Yeah, but it's pretty good, too. They're playing at Roskilde Festival, so I thought I'd check them out.
it's one guy.

he's good.

[Matt?]

Silver Jews - American Water
Squirrel Bait - s/t
Black Flag - Damaged

[cb240]

Atlas Strategic - Rapture, Ye Minions!

[Ornery Cephalopod]

these guys own hard if your in the mood for long songs

Hell yeah man... I had to start downloading another album before that one even ended. Good stuff.

In other news, I listened to In the City of Sleep by The Fever last night... and a few songs were good. Just a few.

[Bukowski]

Frank Zappa - Apostrophe (')

cosmik debris has such cool lyrics

[Daniel!]

Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True
Bob Dylan - Bringing It All Back Home

I am now convinced that My Aim Is True is absolutely flawless.

[Zmev]

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

Daamn

[Zmev]

Juno Reactor - Bible of Dreams

Still trying to form an opinion on this. Its nice and all and creative, but I cant see myself when id be listening to this.

[sweboy]

Been diggin' Dungen. I'll probably pick up their album soon.

[sr800bkBassist]

Been diggin' Dungen. I'll probably pick up their album soon.
mmmmmmm
i love their newest CD sooooo much.

[asymm]

Echo & the Bunnymen - Crocodiles
Patti Smith - Horses
Raoul Björkenheim / Ingebrigt Håker Flaten / Paal Nilssen-Love - Scorch Trio
Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes

[Sam]

Ween. I just got GodWeenSatan: The Oneness and it's the first Ween album I've ever heard. I must say, it's pretty groovy.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic [my first taste of a whole 'old era' Flaming Lips album. I have to say I'm enjoying this much more than I enjoyed The Soft Bulletin.]
Autechre - Tri Repetae

[BillCosby]

Cursive - Burst and Bloom
Cursive - 8 Teeth to Eat You (their side of the split)

[Doctor D.]

I've been listening to Butthole Surfers Hairway To Steven and various Residents albums. Amazing bands. Alls boths ofs thems.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Úlpa - Attempted Flight By Winged Men
Prurient - Black Vase
Neko Case - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood

[Happymeal]

Disco Inferno - D.I. Go Pop

I don't understand this album. It doesn't make any sense at all. I don't think I've felt that way about music before.

I know what you mean.

[ATM]

Ween. I just got GodWeenSatan: The Oneness and it's the first Ween album I've ever heard. I must say, it's pretty groovy.

I have that one too. That song I'm In the Mood is so awesome.

[Bukowski]

Jesus Lizard - Head
Swing Kids - Discography

[Sam]

I've never heard the Swing Kids. Are they like Pearson's other bands or are they more old school punk?

[NineBitFable]

Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand
Fall of Troy

[Happymeal]

I thought Donuts was only a one night stand, but now it's one of my favorite albums of '06. "Time: The Donut of the Heart" is the best 1:39 I've spent on all year, if that made any sense at all

[sr800bkBassist]

I've never heard the Swing Kids. Are they like Pearson's other bands or are they more old school punk?
they're the same redundant screaming over no melody kind of stuff that he always does.

[prurient]

Cursive - Burst and Bloom
Cursive - 8 Teeth to Eat You (their side of the split)
I'll tell you what I'm not digging: Cursive's Happy Hollow. Man, this album blows.

[BillCosby]

I'll tell you what I'm not digging: Cursive's Happy Hollow. Man, this album blows.

it leaked?

[prurient]

Yeah. Two and a half months before the official release date.

[BillCosby]

I can't find anything about it and can't find anything on soulseek...

[prurient]

I'm sharing it...

[BillCosby]

I'm sharing it...

que es tu nombre?

[prurient]

xenophile

You need to send a message first so I can add you to my list!

[Kyle]

Ah really, I wanted that album to be good. But then again, seeing as I disagree with you about nearly everything, I'll still give it a chance.

[Neoteric]

We Are Scientists - In Love and Squalor

[Bukowski]

The Stooges - Raw Power
The Stooges - s/t
Morphine - Cure For Pain

I've never heard the Swing Kids. Are they like Pearson's other bands or are they more old school punk?

They're quite similar to The Locust (the only other band of his I've heard), but a little more geared towards more normal punk/hardcore. Only a little though. It's good sh'it.

[myiaa]

Khonnor - Handwriting

so good and chilled out for hot summer days when I can't be arsed to move.

[EightMilesHigh]

The Aquabats - The Fury Of The Aquabats!

Yeah, it's utterly retarded fun, but it's still fun nonetheless.

[BillCosby]

Prurient, you don't like Cursive in general, right? Because I really like the album so far.

[prurient]

I used to LOVE Cursive. Domestica was my favorite album for a while, and I thought Burst & Bloom was excellent. I still do, actually, and Domestica still means a lot to me. So do their other albums. The Ugly Organ was good, I guess. Happy Hollow isn't.

[BillCosby]

Hm. I can see why someone wouldn't neccessarily like it, but I haven't heard anything so far that would incite passionate dislike.

[Zebra]

The Aquabats - The Fury Of The Aquabats!

Yeah, it's utterly retarded fun, but it's still fun nonetheless.

Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates is the best ballad of all time.

[pixiesfanyo]

Cursive - Such Blinding Stars for Starving Eyes

Yum.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Aphex Twin is a mighty fine catalyst for a newfound intrest in electronia.

[Daniel!]

Mad Professor and Lee "Scratch" Perry - Dub Take the Voodoo Out of Reggae
This is the most trippy dub album I've ever heard.

[fuzz_never_sleeps]

Green River - Dry as a Bone/Rehab Doll
and a song from Melvins called Roadbull. YOU SQUAARE!!
just got out from depression because of so much Nirvana

[fuzz_never_sleeps]

oh and the last one from Built to Spill, You in Reverse i don't know what is he called, but the guy that plays and sings there is up to some good guitar playing.

[pixiesfanyo]

Comets on Fire - Avatar

This is great, great stuff.

[AK47]

Damn new Comets on Fire?

Recent Digs:

The Rolling Stones - Beggar's Banquet
Two Gallants - The Throes
Built to Spill - You in Reverse
Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight

[ATM]

I could listen to Let Me Watch by MF Doom over and over.

[prurient]

I couldn't get into You In Reverse. I tried giving it another spin, but I couldn't go through with it. I became physically ill.

[Jacaranda]

New Order - Substance

I couldn't get into You In Reverse. I tried giving it another spin, but I couldn't go through with it. I became physically ill.

Kind of a stupid question seeing as you don't seem to like anything, but (just for interest's sake) could you name say 10 bands that you dig? Be they favourites, currents whatever, just roll with it.

Go on, I dare ya.

I'd like to see this as well.

[rocknrollstar5]

The Kinks!!!

[Kyle]

I could listen to Let Me Watch by MF Doom over and over.Isn't that song under the Viktor Vaughan persona, or is there a version I havn't heard? Either way it's a great tune.

[ATM]

Yea thats the one. Its the one where he trades verses with a female MC.

[Kyle]

Yea thats the one. Its the one where he trades verses with a female MC.Yeah, that's such a good song. My favorite off the album, in fact.

"I'd rather masturbate than **** with Vick Vaughan"
"let me watch"

haha

[ATM]

Yeah, that's such a good song. My favorite off the album, in fact.

"I'd rather masturbate than **** with Vick Vaughan"
"let me watch"

"I know I played too much
Hey on the way, can you pick up two dutch
OK peace, see you when you touch"

:-D I like that part

Steel Pulse have unseated Burning Spear and are threatening Bob Marley & The Wailers as the dominant reggae group in my life.

Frank Lenz
Huggy Bear
A Minor Forest
Slint
Lali Puna

Cansei de Ser Sexy

[Zebra]

Lets Go Bowling - Freeway Lanes

An excellent album. Spy Market is amazing.

[Zappa]

Everyone on this website just makes bands up.

[EightMilesHigh]

The Faint - Danse Macabre

Haven't listened to this in like a year. Still good, though it gets a little repetitive at times. Think The Cure/New Order/Depeche Mode/Soft Cell with a truckload of synthesizers.

[pppoe]

I like to make up band names.

[Zebra]

Too bad Fresno is 2 hours from here.

[Kyle]

I've been digging The Wallpapers recently, I don't really like their first album, but this new release has a very positive vibe.



/made up band

[cb240]

I totally love The Sad X-Ray Machines and Tan Grandma

(bet you can't tell which one is real)

[BillCosby]

The Freudian Freak-Folk Allstars

[sr800bkBassist]

currently revisiting my obsession with "Acrobatic Tenement" by ATDI.
sooooo good. i hated it at first when i bought it. HATED it. but then i actually took note of how amazing it was. so raw yet poppy. best ATDI CD without a doubt.

[pppoe]

More like Acrobatic Homosex.

[YDload]

I didn't like it much at first either (except Ebroglio) but then I got obsessed with Ticklish and now it's probably my second-favorite song of theirs (behind 198d). Not to mention Star Slight, which is like iPod commercial music before its time.

[The Jungler]

Midlake is really ****ing amazing, I can't stop listening to them these days.

[ATM]

The Tyrant Revealed - The Tyrant Revealed EP
Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia
Tortoise - TNT
Cursive - Happy Hollow
M. Ward - Transfiguration of Vincent
Yndi Halda - Enjoy Eternal Bliss
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye

This is my rescent listenings.

[pppoe]

It's really, really bad, Nacho.

[ATM]

I heard some not so great things about it, but I wanted to check it out for myself.

Anyhow, it's good. It's nothing they haven't done before, but it's got some really cool tracks.

[pppoe]

Name these cool tracks.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion I & II
Gilby Clarke - Live '99
System of a Down - Mezmerize
Aslan - The Platinum Collection

Man, Aslan are so poppygood.

[pppoe]

Nacho thinks he's black.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Don't tell YDLoad.

[pppoe]

YDload doesn't like negroes.

[YDload]

i luv black ppl i want tehm inside of me

Donnie Darko soundtrack?

[YDload]

I'm not even gonna bother posting it cause it's always pretty similar. Although I recently downloaded Mastodon's Remission and have been listening to it a good bit. Great stuff, a lot darker and more claustrophobic than their recent whale-hunting record.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Donnie Darko soundtrack?

Nah, Me And You And Everyone We Know soundtrack.

[ATM]

Nah, Me And You And Everyone We Know soundtrack.

Hm, never heard of that movie :-/

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Hm, never heard of that movie :-/

It's a good movie. It's quirky & indie and stuff. :p
As soon as I heard music from it I wanted to have the soundtrack. That's a good thing I guess.

[Zmev]

Its a great sountrack/movie.

[Daniel!]

Elvis Costello - My Aim Is True

[Jawaharal]

The new Muse album is dreadful. :(

[pppoe]

Quoted for truth.

Fevers & Mirrors is the only tolerable Bright Eyes album.

The new Muse album is dreadful. :(

I'm kind of ashamed for liking it :upset:

Because he likes some things that you like - he's allowed to bash other bands? What the **** is this? Let's not fall further into indie clichés where the bands you enjoy equal the quality of your opinion. I'm not sure how we can value his opinion when his criticisms offer no clarity and consist of juvenile insults. C'mon, he had a "Ben Gibbard is a fag" thread...

Digging...
Supersilent - 4
The Futureheads - News and Tributes

[sketchyjoe]

Everyone on this website just makes bands up.
You're paranoid.


Ambitious Sixty and the Straight Murder - Monger Bunny
The steel-drum/grindcore/jazz fusion 18 piece's 35th studio album full of singalong classics like Rectal Happiness, Smacked Up On Gnat, Thanks for the Ebola Ectoplasm and a cover of Southern Expansion and the Homo Area's Ballsed Up in Curved Optimism that has to be heard to be believed.

Glorified Kitchen and the Hopeless Sunflower - Detached Nicotine of the Securely Insecurity
Anti-folk classics from everyone's favourite paraplegic, if Pebble of the Lost Degenerate does not bring tears to your eyes, then you have no soul.

Belle & Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
Basement Jaxx - Rooty
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - I've tried but there's nothing I can like about this album. I can put up with 'unique' vocals, but not this guy.
Bear Vs Shark - Right Now You're In The Best Of Hands

[NineBitFable]

Pluto- Dance Stamina + Long White Cross

These are the only two songs I can find from them. . . but they are badass.

[BillCosby]

My next week's last.fm is going to be insanely Cursive-heavy.

[pixiesfanyo]

If by "a lot" you mean "the opposite of."

Just listen to it an imagine it's not a Cursive record.
You'll like it alot more.

[asymm]

Scott Walker - The Drift
Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
My first time through the record is right now. "Do You Believe in Rapture?" is a great song - but I'm getting nervous about the entirety's quality. I'll have to just let it play out and see what happens.

[EightMilesHigh]

Television - Marquee Moon

I don't see why Television were compared to The Ramones. They blew them out of the water. Or maybe I'm just saying that because I hate The Ramones.

Television >>>>>>>> The Ramones. i see no similarity.
Television was smart, cool, and ahead of their time.
The Ramones were bland pop-rock.

[Iron Bug]

onelinedrawing

[asymm]

i know it leaked, but is it really out now? i thought it came out tuesday...Yeah, it comes out tomorrow - but the local store here puts out the albums once they arrive on Monday. So I typically take advantage of that.

[Happymeal]

But in his defense, Ben Gibbard is a fa[g.

Still he bashes 10 bands for every 3 that he actually starts a constructive discussion on. And frankly, insults in alt/indie should at least be entertaining to read.

[pppoe]

Enough about me.

[YDload]

The Ramones were bland pop-rock.

i always thought they sounded like a combination of The Rolling Stones and Talking Heads. Either way, that album is perfect and the title track is really fun to jam along to on bass :cool:

[sr800bkBassist]

Yeah, it comes out tomorrow - but the local store here puts out the albums once they arrive on Monday. So I typically take advantage of that.
lucky!

so far i had downloaded Sleepin' Around, Incinerate, Reena, and Pink Steam. i love a of it, except Reena is kinda lame. i miss how intense and aggressive Kim used to be in her punk-****ing-rock days in the early 80's.
Making the Nature Scene and their cover of I Wanna be your Dog were great. now she's just kind of annoying and dry.

[Happymeal]

Enough about me.

You know you like it you sick ****.


Today:

The Free Design - The Now Sound Redesigned

It's a tribute album in which hip-hop artists revamp songs from that band. I was surprised to hear Murs and Dudley Perkins in this one.

Cryptopsy - None so Vile
Make Up - Untouchable Sound

Make Up were sex.

i have Save Yourself by Make Up.
great CD, but i found myself skipping between the same 4 or 5 songs a lot, since that CD had a lot of bland tracks. is that CD better?

[Kurtz]

Hey, I like Television and Ramones.

They were compared because they were both part of the New York punk scene.

[cb240]

And they both put CBGB on the map.

[Little Man being Erased]

Interpol - Antics
Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism
Gomez - Bring It On
Pixies - Surfer Rosa / Come on Pilgrim
Sleater-Kinney - One Beat

[cb240]

NMH - Aeroplane (Secret Mix)

Much more ambient feel... pretty good I guess

[Zebra]

Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers

This album is so cool and bad-***. I love it.

[JonM]

J Dilla - Donuts

I listened to this a lot, then I stopped, and now I'm reviving it because it's great.I wasn't too thrilled by it. I don't think I listened closely enough, though. Or maybe I listened too closely. I'll give it another whirl.

[Kurtz]

The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed

Oh my god, now officially one of my favorite albums ever.

[Happymeal]

i have Save Yourself by Make Up.
great CD, but i found myself skipping between the same 4 or 5 songs a lot, since that CD had a lot of bland tracks. is that CD better?

The one I'm digging is a live album, and it consists mostly of songs from Save Yourself. I'd recommend I Want Some for that raw and dirty feel, and/or In Mass Mind (my favorite Make Up album) which is a pretty accessible but still very substantial release.

[YDload]

Minus The Bear- They Make Beer Commercials Like This

Just an EP but all the songs are great, especially "Let's Play Clowns" and "I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien." Ugh but those song titles :(
