What I've Been Digging Lately

[Interstate]

Slint - Spiderland (I want to get Tweez but I'm afraid it will pale in comparison.)
Death Cab - Forbidden Love EP

[Sepstrup]

Silver Jews - Tanglewood Numbers. They're playing at Roskilde so I thought I'd check them out. Pretty cool album

[sketchyjoe]

Blackalicious - The Craft

[Zebra]

Brian Eno - Another Green World

This album is perfect.

[Interstate]

Silver Jews - Tanglewood Numbers. They're playing at Roskilde so I thought I'd check them out. Pretty cool album

I've been wanting to get this album for ages. I've always imagined Silver Jews as similar to Two Gallants for some reason (another band I need to properly check out)

Brian Eno - Another Green World

This album is perfect.

Quoted for truth.

Just dug All Time Quarterback - All Time Quarterback - Haven't listened to it in a while but it's still sweet.

Currently listening to The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow. I don't think I like it as much as Oh, Inverted World.

[Bukowski]

Silver Jews are great, they don't really sound like Two Gallants though. There are vague similarities I guess.

Mission of Burma - The Obliterati
Jesus Lizard - Goat
Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill
Red House Painters - Ocean Beach

Yay I get to listen to music at work.

[Interstate]

Yay I get to listen to music at work.

I envy you so much. Where do you work/what do you work as?

[Kyle]

I get to listen to music, but only what they play on the stupid loudspeaker, which is in annoying loop. There are a few songs which some on that I like, such as:

Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles (actually love this song)
The Coral - Pass it On
REM - The Great Beyond
Ozzy Osbourne - Dreamer
Sam Cooke - Don't Know Much About History
The Isley Brothers - Who's That Lady?

That's it I think.

[ATM]

We play music at work, but its a music store :-D

I just got back from Bonnaroo and now im going to listen to all the bands I just saw.

[Interstate]

I just got back from Bonnaroo and now im going to listen to all the bands I just saw.

I'd love to work in a music store.

Who did you see at Bonnaroo?

[Kyle]

Sparta - Porcelain

This album is just excellent. Before listening to Sparta I was under the impression they were meant to be a really boring band, but this is really not like that at all.

Is Porcelain a rare exciting album, or is all Sparta this good?

[Daniel!]

Pixies - Doolittle
Pixies - Surfer Rosa

I've finally come to the conclusion that Surfer Rosa is the better of the two.

[Little Man being Erased]

Truth.

[Zappa]

Pixies - Doolittle
Pixies - Surfer Rosa

I've finally come to the conclusion that Surfer Rosa is the better of the two.

Duh.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

-Mr. Bungle - s/t and California

Haven't given the 'Bungle a listen in a while, then I saw some videos and live stuff on Youtube. So a minor case of Bungle Fever hit.



-Gnarls Barkley - "Crazy"

Just that one song. The few others songs I have are nice, but I still haven't really dug them much. I dunno.




-Old Man Gloom - "Zozobra"

Posty-metal a bit on the too-repetitive side, but it was good for a background thang.




-The Fever - In the City of Sleep

Definitely nowhere near a favorite of mine, but it's kinda neat.

[ATM]

I'd love to work in a music store.

Who did you see at Bonnaroo?

Tons of bands but my favorite shows were Radiohead, Beck, and Sierra Leone Refugee Allstars.

[cb240]

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Take It from the Man!

It's all right. I like most of the other stuff I've heard from them a little better.

[sketchyjoe]

Dave Dondero - The Transient
I've never really listened to this album despite like all his other stuff. I don't know why. It could be the best of the lot. Reminiscent of Ted Leo but more folky.

[Little Man being Erased]

^^ That sounds worth a look.

[pixiesfanyo]

Except "Angry Son" has the most trite, cliche'd guitar part ever. And the Slint vocals on top just make it a laughable recording all around. Other than that, I dig the bluesy samples and the emo explosions throughout.

That's the whole point of emo.

Laughable recordings.

[sketchyjoe]

^^ That sounds worth a look.
You should definitely check him out. He has some great stuff. As well as The Transient, Shooting at the Sun With a Water Gun is very good and South of the South and Spider West Myshkin and a City Bus are perfectly good albums.

[Little Man being Erased]

I might just check that out. Thanks joe.

[Happymeal]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus

I can't believe it took me this long to listen to this.

[cb240]

Yeah I love Lilys, actually got into them before BJM.

[Daniel!]

Rocket From the Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream!
The Jesus Lizard - Goat


I'm not so sure about the Jesus Lizard but Rocket From the Crypt is mind-blowingly awsome. The use of the sax and trumpet is awsome.

[cb240]

A lot of people around these parts have been into those 2 bands lately. Curious.

[Daniel!]

Ya, I've been seeing their names a lot recently so I decided to get some stuff by both bands.

[sketchyjoe]

Mischief Brew - Songs From Under the Sink
This album is just as good as Smash the Windows. Songs like All Our Comrades and Coffee, God and Cigarettes are among the best he's done. If you haven't heard him, it's excellent gypsy/swing/folk-punk reminiscent of The Pogues and Tom Waits.

Johnny Hobo and the Freight Trains - All Power to the Wingnuts
Great gutter-rock/folk-punk. I've been looking for this for ages and it doesn't dissapoint.

This is actually better than the Return of Dr. Octagon at first glance, except it doesn't have any songs as individually awesome as "Perfect World" or "Al Green." I guess I've got to pick up Nogatco Rd now. Also heard the Yo La Tengo leak. "Pass the Hatchet" + "The Story Of" = Oh shiitake.

He's got a neat beard.

the new band of horses - esp. the funeral!
Listen to The Funeral (Album) by Band Of Horses : http://www.napster.com/player/tracks/16497956

After a couple of listens, Happy Hollow is now my favorite Cursive album. Not just because it's the least divorce-inspired.

Hey Sweboy I just download some Swedish music:

Slagsmålsklubben - Den Scenske Disco

No idea if its any good, I just got them.

[pppoe]

XYZR KX - Inanomie Op. 221

[cb240]

What in the name of the reptilian space pope is that ^^^

[Little Man being Erased]

it's made up for sure.

[Zebra]

Moby - Play (the second half of Play that is)

I can't listen to this album in full, the first half and the second half are just to different.

[pppoe]

It's not made up. It's electronic music made by an Asian dude. Filipino, if I remember correctly.

[pppoe]

Wixel - Heart

[cb240]

Two in a row you got by me, you're so fkn indie.

[Little Man being Erased]

Gang of Four - Entertainment!


If Gang of Four aren't the best post-punk band ever I'll eat my hat and listen to whatever is.

[pppoe]

Yeah.

[Zappa]

Magazine is my nominee for best post-punk band.

[Daniel!]

Rocket from the Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream!
Sublime - Sublime

Magazine is my nominee for best post-punk band.
I like me my post-punk and I have an album of theirs that I could just not get into at all. Something is most likely wrong with me.

[Little Man being Erased]

Magazine is my nominee for best post-punk band.
Alright then, looks like I'll need to listen to those guys.

[pixiesfanyo]

Wire here for the post-punk band.

I'm digging Domestica, it's one of my favorite records.

[cb240]

I like Birthday Party, Joy Division, Wire and Magazine all more than Gang of Four, but I'm a moron.

[ATM]

The only Wire album I have is Pink Flag but I really really dig it.

[Zmev]

Shellac - At Action Park

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah I guess I should check out The Birthday Party since I love Nick Cave and post-punk and all that. And I should probably look further into Wire too.

[pppoe]

Wire here for the post-punk band.

I'm digging Domestica, it's one of my favorite records.
I love that album.

[ATM]

Saul Williams is soooo good. I cant stop listening to Amethyst Rock Star.

[pixiesfanyo]

Saul Williams is soooo good. I cant stop listening to Amethyst Rock Star.

Get his self titled.

[Zappa]

Wire here for the post-punk band.

I'm digging Domestica, it's one of my favorite records.

Well, you know I loves me some Wire (they just beat Zappa on my last.fm!), but I only consider the albums after Pink Flag to be post-punk, and of those only Chairs Missing is great. Magazine has two remarkable post-punk classics.

Then you can get into counting Talking Heads' later 70s and early 80s stuff, and the choice gets really hard. But I don't think they're really post-punk anyway.

[ATM]

Get his self titled.

Yea, his self titled is better, but I like this album as well. I picked up his book at the library too, havent read it yet tho.

[pixiesfanyo]

Which one he has like four?

[ATM]

Which one he has like four?

Lost Emcee Scrolls

[Little Man being Erased]

Then you can get into counting Talking Heads' later 70s and early 80s stuff, and the choice gets really hard. But I don't think they're really post-punk anyway.
Yeah I don't really consider Talking Heads to be post-punk, but they certainly embrace elements of the genre.

[Tangy zizzle]

Rocket From the Crypt - Scream, Dracula, Scream!
The Jesus Lizard - Goat


I'm not so sure about the Jesus Lizard but Rocket From the Crypt is mind-blowingly awsome. The use of the sax and trumpet is awsome.

You should listen to Cougars.

[ATM]

Lost Emcee Scrolls

Oops, thats not the exact title, but its close to that.

[dwass5656]

I have been really into Wolfmother, even though they arent indie anymore nor really alternative...just tellin it like it is for me...

[pixiesfanyo]

Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World

This is such a ****ing good album.. I can't wait for their new release, but I have a feeling it won't be better. I still stand by my statement that they sound like a hardcore Comets on Fire.

[pppoe]

Old, but...

Brief Candles - They Live, We Sleep

[Luxor]

Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World

This is such a ****ing good album.. I can't wait for their new release, but I have a feeling it won't be better. I still stand by my statement that they sound like a hardcore Comets on Fire.
When's the new album due?

[asymm]

Old, but...

Brief Candles - They Live, We Sleep
Haha, wow. My friend's brother is the drummer for this band. I've seen them practice in his basement before. I know they toured the west coast recently, did you see them on that tour?

Diggage:
Susanna and the Magical Orchestra - "Love Will Tear Us Apart Again"
Track off their upcoming Melody Mountain record in August.
http://www.myspace.com/susannamagical

[asymm]

Yeah, it's quite new. They finished that record around February or so. It's also - not their debut. They have a self-titled album.

[Zappa]

Magazine has two remarkable post-punk classics.


I realized I didn't have Magazine's second album. I just got it, and it's great. So make that 3.

Why does it seem the post-punk bands only ever have a handful of albums?

[pixiesfanyo]

When's the new album due?

Fall.

[pixiesfanyo]

I realized I didn't have Magazine's second album. I just got it, and it's great. So make that 3.

Why does it seem the post-punk bands only ever have a handful of albums?

Because they are smart, and realize when they should stop.

[Interstate]

Dangerdoom - The Mouse & The Mask - I'm starting to finally tolerate, and maybe even like MF Doom.

[asdf]

The Avalanches - Since I Left You

pretty good.
I love the video for that song.

[pppoe]

Condre SCR - Jar Marsen

[pppoe]

Haha, wow. My friend's brother is the drummer for this band. I've seen them practice in his basement before. I know they toured the west coast recently, did you see them on that tour?
Cool. Give me his number.

I didn't catch them. It hurt my heart.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

I'm trying to learn more easy songs in which I can play guitar and sing at the same time without screwing up to develop my skillz... so I've been playing the hell out of Electric Wizard's "Wizard in Black" along to the CD

Other than that:

Comets on Fire - Avatar (it really is pretty freakin good)
Toby Driver - In the L... L... Library Loft

[ATM]

Dangerdoom - The Mouse & The Mask - I'm starting to finally tolerate, and maybe even like MF Doom.

Get Madvillian - Madvilliany next.

[pppoe]

I really like "Accordion."

[NineBitFable]

Boris- Pink

I dont really know what I like about it, but I just cant seem to stop listening to it. maybe its because this is my first experience listening to drone metal or whatever this genre is called. I've also decided that the only reason anyone ever makes comparisons between them and My Bloody Valentine is because they both have guitars and pink album covers.

[Kyle]

I just got into Boris this week, such an awesome band!

[Little Man being Erased]

Queens of the Stone Age - Lullabies to Paralyze

[Daniel!]

You should listen to Cougars.
Will do. Any albums in particular?

[Tangy zizzle]

Nice, Nice. They sound sorta like a RFTC/Black Flag hybrid, with a good dose of Queens' thrown in the mix. They're pretty good, but nothing fantastic.

[6Stringer]

I've been digging Death for some reason. I woke up this morning and thought that I should listen to Death's The Sound of Perserverance to wake up. It's a great Death Metal CD worth checking out.

[Robert Crumb]

Dr. Octagon and The Nails. Remixes of the former, Mood Swing by the latter. Mood Swing is ok, new-wave stuff. The title track and "88 Lines About 44 Women" are the best, "88" makes me think of Magnetic Fields big time. As for the Doc Ock remixes, pretty neat. Check 'em out here (http://www.worlds-fair.net/dr_octagon/decipher/01.html).

[pppoe]

Virvel - Sa Dna

[Little Man being Erased]

Billy Bragg - Back to Basics

Kickball - ABCDEFGHIJ Kickball

1208-Feedback is Payback

[ATM]

I really like "Accordion."

Same here, that whole album is so good. Except for that lame song where its like "slow it up, speed it up".

[Zebra]

cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD

This is better then Endtroducing.

[ATM]

cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD

This is better then Endtroducing.

Them's fightin words. I like that album too but the nasally vocals kind of ruin it for me.

[Mr Observations]

Cap'n Jazz - Analpha-etc
Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes
Charles Bronson - Discography
This Heat - Deceit

[Happymeal]

cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD

The only stuff that can come close to/equal Endtroducing is One Word Extinguisher.

THE BRONXXX! good man

[Little Man being Erased]

Elliott Smith - XO

I am reminded of how badly I need Either/Or and the self-titled album.

[Luxor]

They're both better than XO

[Little Man being Erased]

We shall see.

[Zappa]

I don't think s/t is as good as XO

[br3ad_man]

I haven't heard Figure 8, but I like everything else more than XO.

[Little Man being Erased]

XO is the best I've heard by Elliott Smith. I've heard everything except those two I mentioned previously.

[Zebra]

Beck - Mellow Gold

I love how the music feels so half assed yet it makes me feel so cool.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I've only heard Either/Or and XO from Elliott, but I like Either/Or better

THE BRONXXX! good man

Yes, I like them a lot. Better than I expected. Addictive, too.

[Little Man being Erased]

Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

[Zebra]

Bob Dylan - The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan

Hands down, the best Bob Dylan album.

[Zmev]

^^ Highway 61 ftw

Time to start a summer afair with the Velvet Underground

[Jacaranda]

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness I think "Porcelina of the Vast Oceans" is my favorite off this album or "Zero."

[masada]

i just listened to Funeral for the first time in awhile good stuff

[Zappa]

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction is remarkably great.

[charolastra]

Today i listened to some Modest Mouse, Stereolab, Sigur Ros and m83 to welcome the summer heat

[borge]

Death Cab For Cutie is starting to grow on me

[Kyle]

Smashing Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness I think "Porcelina of the Vast Oceans" is my favorite off this album or "Zero."I don't really like Zero, the lyrics are really poor, Porcelina is a tune though. I think my favorite songs off it are 1979 and Here Is No Why.

Still digging:
The Atomic Bitchwax - 3
Sparta - Porcelain

[Interstate]

Incubus - A Crow Left To The Murder - meh it's alright, not as good as Morning View or Make Yourself or some of their funky earlier stuff but it's an ok listen.

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - I like this so much more than Slanted & Enchanted for some reason.

[enkelin]

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain - I like this so much more than Slanted & Enchanted for some reason.

How come?
crooked rain crooked rain is a great album and contains very good songs, but it cant be compared to slanted and enchanted.. that is the best pavement album.

[Bukowski]

Slanted and Enchanted owns anything else by Pavement imo. Wowee Zowee is my second favorite album by them, it's real underrated.

I'm diggin' Blonde Redhead and Animal Collective just now.

[dei]

Go Sailor - Go Sailor

[Interstate]

How come?
crooked rain crooked rain is a great album and contains very good songs, but it cant be compared to slanted and enchanted.. that is the best pavement album.

I don't know, I just seemed to connect with the songs on Crooked Rain alot more for some reason. Maybe I'll have second thoughts when I play them both again.
I need to check out Wowee Zowee, it seems to be very underrated.

Slanted and Enchanted owns anything else by Pavement imo. Wowee Zowee is my second favorite album by them, it's real underrated.

Same here. Depending on how I feel, Wowee Zowee jumps to number one sometimes.

Currently listening to Dabrye - Two/Three. Nice electro-hip hop, which seems to be about all I'm listening to lately. DOOM, Vast Aire, Dilla, Beans, AG all guest on here. Vast Aire seems to get suckier and suckier on every guest track, though.

[Anxious]

Freed Weed by Sebadoh
Complete Peel Sessions by the Fall
Six Organs of Admittance
Loop (Awesome shoegaze band)
Ride (Awesome dream pop/shoegaze)

[el doctor]

Nothing's Shocking by Jane's Addiction is remarkably great.It's a little less showy and a bit darker than Ritual De Lo Habitual, but I love it.

Sufjan Stevens - Illinois

It's better than I remember it being.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Opeth - Blackwater Park
Opeth - My Arms, Your Hearse

man, I haven't play any of these chaps in forever...

[Ornery Cephalopod]

and now I'm just realizing how awesome High on Fire is. Blessed Black Wings to be specific.

[ihatemybass]

Marvin Gaye.
Disco Music too.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

and now I'm discoving the wonder of Gospel after seeing all the hype from some of y'all a while back. niccce stuff y'all.

[HoefNugz]

Ive been diggin Medeski Martin & Wood and G. Love and Special Sauce lately.

[enkelin]

today I've been listening to The Exploding hearts. the sing 'Modern Kicks' knocks me off my feet.. everytime I listen to the song, It instantly forces me to dance <3

[dei]

I've only been listening to Tiger Trap and Go Sailor.

[Daniel!]

The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground and Nico
Ani DiFranco - Not A Pretty Girl
The Congos - Heart of the Congos

I was also over at a friend's house today and we listened to the Violent Femmes first album a few times and I was enjoying that. It's been a good summery music day.

[cb240]

Nothing against you or anything, but I hope Ani DiFranco dies today. Either that or stops making music/bad poetry.

[el doctor]

The Velvet Underground - Loaded

I love this album more and more as time goes on, especially during the summer. "Rock and Roll" demands the windows to be down, while "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'" drags you into the sunset.

I've only been listening to Tiger Trap and Go Sailor.♥♥♥

[Daniel!]

Nothing against you or anything, but I hope Ani DiFranco dies today. Either that or stops making music/bad poetry.

I actually really enjoy that album. The poetry-type tracks are worthless but the majority of the songs are good.

[BillCosby]

Girl Talk - Night Ripper

[Jacaranda]

Oysterhead - The Grand Pecking Order
Its growing on me somehow.

[Robert Crumb]

♥♥♥

Yeah. There's only one bad song on s/t, "Chester." I get physically ill when I hear that song for some reason. Probably because it's horrible.

[Little Man being Erased]

^^ Highway 61 ftw
Yeah, that's my favourite too. But then again every Dylan album I have is awesome. Except for The Times They Are A-Changin'.


Dig:
Tom Waits - Closing Time
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
The Drones - Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By
The Smiths - Strangeways, Here We Come
Outkast - Stankonia



AFI - Decemberunderground

This kicks ***.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain
Doormouse - The Album?
Tom Waits - Closing Time
James Figurine - Mistake Mistake Mistake Mistake
Nelly Furtado - Loose (Best pop album I've heard all year. Actually, make that the only pop album I've heard all year. It's goooood though. Timbaland is the best producer in pop, I swear.)

edit: didnt read the above post. closing time is there as well. coincidence.

[cb240]

How are you liking the Cookie Mountain? I'm still wavering on it.

[asymm]

Islan - Plans Drawn in Pencil

[Little Man being Erased]

Sonic Youth - Goo

Yeah so this is my first taste of a Sonic Youth album in full. After one listen I can safely say that it is some pretty great stuff. "Dirty Boots" and "Kool Thing" are fantastic.

[Interstate]

Day Of Defeat - Day Of Defeat
White Knuckle Blackout - Demo
Fear No Fish - Demo
DCFC - ...Facts
The Magnetic Fields - Get Lost (well what I have of it anyway)
The Delgados

The first three bands on that list are bands from my college that I used to go to. The first two are generic but listenable metal bands and the third is a really cool pop-punk trio with two vocalists, (they're twin brothers) sort of in the vein of Alkaline Trio/Bayside.

[Little Man being Erased]

Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, The Innocent and the E Street Shuffle

The Boss. At first, not what I expected, but it's great nonetheless.

[Little Man being Erased]

stop copying me bitch.

[Bukowski]

Goo is neat. But Sister is certainly not 'eh'.

Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
Pale Saints - Comforts of Madness
Pavement - Terror Twilight

[sketchyjoe]

Oblivion - Suckers From the Start

Great punk rock.

[Interstate]

The Reindeer Section - Son Of Evil Reindeer
The Bronx - La Muerta Viva EP
The Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good

Good mix of stuff.

[La Revolucion]

Murder By Death - In Bocca Al Lupo

Not as good as their second one, but still great.

[Bukowski]

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One

This album is unbelievably great. There's not a bad song, and I love how lo-fi it is. Every time I listen to it it just gets better and better. I can't wait for the new YLT album.

[sr800bkBassist]

Sonic Youth - Goo

Yeah so this is my first taste of a Sonic Youth album in full. After one listen I can safely say that it is some pretty great stuff. "Dirty Boots" and "Kool Thing" are fantastic.
if you like that, you'll love their other stuff. try "Sonic Nurse" and "Sister". "Goo" is a great album, but doesn't go as deep as the others.

[Zappa]

Yeah, Goo is probably my least favorite SY record out of it and Daydream Nation, Sister, Sonic Nurse, and EVOL.

Daydream Nation is amazing.

[asymm]

These both arrived today, so they will be what I'm diggin'

Information - Biomekano
Helios - Eingya

[Interstate]

Murder By Death - In Bocca Al Lupo

Not as good as their second one, but still great.

What's it like compared to Who Will Survive...? (it's the only one I own by them) - I'm listening to it now.

[Happymeal]

Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Spank Rock - Yo Yo Yo Yo Yo

The latter is sort of reminiscent of N.E.R.D, cept the guy doesn't sing and the lyrics are a lot more.. vivid.

[ihatemybass]

King Crimson as of now.

Wow, this is amazing.

[ATM]

What's it like compared to Who Will Survive...? (it's the only one I own by them) - I'm listening to it now.
It just finished downloading so ill let you know son.

[BillCosby]

I haven't been home much the past couple of days, but when I am it's all Girl Talk and Cursive.

[ATM]

Wow the new Murder By Death is actually pretty good.

When I heard the single they put out beforehand I had pretty low expectations, but I like this.

Brother is a really cool song.

[Zebra]

Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow

What the hell is Gab rapping about in Release pt.2?

[ihatemybass]

Yeah, Goo is probably my least favorite SY record out of it and Daydream Nation, Sister, Sonic Nurse, and EVOL.

Daydream Nation is amazing.
Despite bad word of mouth, I still bought Goo. The main reason being the cover; I just love that picture.

Dirty Boots is a good song though.

[Bartender]

Just watched Jools Holland. The last for a while, unfortunately, but at least it was a good one. There was some Cockney guy with an acoustic guitar rapping (Plan B), and he was actually surprisingly good. Album's not out yet, but I hope I remember to give it a listen when it is. I felt a bit sorry for him though, being the only other man-and-guitar in a show with a guy called Raul Midon. With luck I'll be buying this guy's album in the very near future - based on this one song at least, he has a great voice, great skill at the guitar (along with an almost clawed right hand to play it) and the ability to imitate a trumpet almost perfectly. The Divine Comedy, who I haven't heard about in years, also sounded pretty good.

And the Flaming Lips playing War Pigs was interesting, too.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Raul Midon is awesome, he plays wth Jason Mraz sometimes. Mraz and Stevie Wonder guested on his latest album, if I remember correctly.

[Robert Crumb]

Was the song "State of Mind"? Good song, that.

[dei]

I don't think I listen to music anymore.

[Bartender]

Was the song "State of Mind"? Good song, that

Yeah, that's the one.

Raul Midon is awesome, he plays wth Jason Mraz sometimes. Mraz and Stevie Wonder guested on his latest album, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, they mentioned that Stevie Wonder appeared on the album. No one spoke of Mraz, though.

[Kyle]

Flaming Lips played War Pigs? :upset:

The one friday night I decided to go out, I miss them, The Strokes and Plan B!

Been diggin' the new Cursive CD.

and ATDI - In/Casino Out

[sketchyjoe]

Wow the new Murder By Death is actually pretty good.

When I heard the single they put out beforehand I had pretty low expectations, but I like this.

Brother is a really cool song.
It's a good album. Brother is easily the best song on it but Sometimes The Line Walks You is great too.

[ATM]

It's a good album. Brother is easily the best song on it but Sometimes The Line Walks You is great too.

Yea, I like that one as well. I can see this being good driving music.

[Zappa]

Little is as powerful as Entertainment! by Gang of Four. They never let up, which is the great part. Right when you think they'll sink into the same cymbally drum beat and bouncy bass groove from the last track, they once again surprise you with a fresh version of their signature style. It's amazing.

[ATM]

I got the Misfits box set and I cant stop listening to it. Good stuff.

[Daniel!]

Creedence Clearwater Revival
Two Gallants

John Fogerty has the coolest voice ever.

[pixiesfanyo]

The Vida Blue/Ten Grand

Possibly the only emo/screamo band that rivals Off Minor.

[Zappa]

Sebadoh - III

This kind of really lo-fi, personal recording makes me wish I could sing. I can imagine wanting to write songs like these. Just incredibly simple on the surface, and completely honest and on-my-own-terms.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Today's been a weird day. I listened to the Eagles and Savage Garden in the morning, as well as some Black 47 and the Eagles again.

Yeah, they mentioned that Stevie Wonder appeared on the album. No one spoke of Mraz, though.
They never do :(

I got the Misfits box set and I cant stop listening to it. Good stuff.
:cool:

[br3ad_man]

Rather Ripped is so solid. I've just been listening to that and various Nick Cave tracks.

[ATM]

:cool:

:cool: My last.FM is going to be loaded with Misfits.


I just downloaded a Bronx album and I like it so far.

[Anxious]

Sebadoh - III

This kind of really lo-fi, personal recording makes me wish I could sing. I can imagine wanting to write songs like these. Just incredibly simple on the surface, and completely honest and on-my-own-terms.
You should get The Freed Weed by them, its III times a thousand. Which we all know as 3,000.

[dei]

Alias and Tarsier - Brookland/Oaklyn

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I've been digging DNTELs Early Works For Me If It Works For You and the fact that Search and Destroy by The Stooges and Staralfur by Sigur Ros were in The Life Aquatic, which I watched a little while ago.

I'm gonna have Slayer and Nelly Furtado on this weeks last.fm list. Oddly good combination, somehow.

[Bukowski]

I've been digging DNTELs Early Works For Me If It Works For You and the fact that Search and Destroy by The Stooges and Staralfur by Sigur Ros were in The Life Aquatic, which I watched a little while ago.


Search and Destroy is definitely the perfect song for the part it's used in. That's my favorite part of the movie.

Sebadoh - III
Black Flag - My War
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear The Heart...

That YLT album is becoming one of my all-time favorites. I want to start listening to their other albums, and I've downloaded most of them, but that one is just so perfect.

[dei]

Atone - Un An

[ATM]

Alias and Tarsier - Brookland/Oaklyn

Have you heard the Alias and Ehren album?

[dei]

Not yet. :(

[ATM]

Look for that, seriously. Its excellent.

[Robert Crumb]

You should get The Freed Weed by them, its III times a thousand. Which we all know as 3,000.

Never been able to find this one or Smash Your Head on the Punk Rock, or whatever it's called. Sebadoh is so solid.

Listening to Tom Ze and Harry Nilsson, trying to decide stuff.

[Dave de Sylvia]

:cool: My last.FM is going to be loaded with Misfits.


I just downloaded a Bronx album and I like it so far.
Double :cool:

I'm digging this Spank Rock album right now. Yoyoyoyoyo.

[ATM]

Apparently the Bronx are playing a show near me for 15 bucks soon.

[cb240]

Apparently the Bronx are playing a show near me for 15 bucks soon.

Go! What are you waiting for?

[Dave de Sylvia]

I think he's waiting for the day of the show.

[cb240]

Soon is fairly ambiguous. Plus I'm not too smart.

[ATM]

Lifetime
w/ The Bronx & The Loved Ones
8pm Doors.
FRI. JUL. 7
$15.00

Anyone know the other bands?

[cb240]

They're both punk type bands, I think Lifetime has been around for a while and The Loved Ones are fairly new (Pretty sure they only have one LP).

[ATM]

Cant beat the price.

[cb240]

Yeah that would be an awesome show, especially for that price.

[Bukowski]

I didn't know Lifetime had reunited. That should be a good show.

[ATM]

Do Lifetime sound anything like the Bronx?

[Bukowski]

NoMeansNo - Wrong

Still amazing. I'm gonna try and learn some of these songs on drums, their drummer is very talented. Like the rest of the band, notably the bassist.

[Zappa]

Magazine - Secondhand Daylight

They maintained a high standard of quality on their first three records. This is great.

[sr800bkBassist]

Nah, they're pop-punk.

Gin Blossoms - "Found Out About You"

underrated. If you like Big Star or the Replacements I don't see why you shouldn't dig some of their singles.
is Hey Jealousy on that CD?
i love that song.

[Robert Crumb]

NoMeansNo - Wrong

Me too. Just found out they're coming to town later this summer. Missed them last time, not gonna let that happen again.

[Daniel!]

The Dead Milkmen - Big Lizard In My Backyard
The Dead Milkmen - Beezlebubba
The Dead Milkmen - If I Had a Gun

These guys will probably start to get old soon, so I'm going to enjoy listening to them as much as possible until that time comes.

[Zappa]

Galaxie 500 - On Fire

Swirly.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

You know what, I think I really like Trompe Le Monde

I've had Surfer Rosa and Doolittle for a while and I thought it was time to check out their other albums

[slack]

Jose Gonzalez - Veneer

[Zappa]

You know what, I think I really like Trompe Le Monde

I've had Surfer Rosa and Doolittle for a while and I thought it was time to check out their other albums

Trompe le Monde is my second favorite Pixies record.

I've said this at least once before, and nobody cares.

[dei]

I Am Robot and Proud - The Electricity In Your House Want to Sing

[sketchyjoe]

The Dead Milkmen - Big Lizard In My Backyard
The Dead Milkmen - Beezlebubba
The Dead Milkmen - If I Had a Gun

These guys will probably start to get old soon, so I'm going to enjoy listening to them as much as possible until that time comes.
DM never get old. Dave Blood forever!

[ATM]

Master P - The Ghetto's Trying To Kill Me!
Mr Lif - Mo Mega ( I like this as much as I Phantom)
Big L - Lifestylez Ov Da Poor and Dangerous
Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza - s/t
Dead Kennedys - Bedtime For Democracy
Living Legends - Classic

I just got my wisdom teeth out so Ive been downloading a ton of music.

[dei]

My wisdom teeth come out next week.

Sea and Cake - Oui

[Bukowski]

Me too. Just found out they're coming to town later this summer. Missed them last time, not gonna let that happen again.

Lucky, they'd never come here. They'd be bitchin' live as well I'm sure.

DM never get old. Dave Blood forever!

Truth.

Jawbreaker are such an addictive band, I'm rediscovering them just now. Bivouac is my favorite.

[sr800bkBassist]

You know what, I think I really like Trompe Le Monde

I've had Surfer Rosa and Doolittle for a while and I thought it was time to check out their other albums
their later stuff is awesome.

Doolittle is awesome too, but Surfer Rosa is overrated.
while Doolittle had great melodies, a great varied selection of songs, etc, Surfer Rosa lacked almost all the memorable melodies of Doolittle and was very dry when it came to variation.

but it gains you indie points to like Surfer Rosa better, because the production sucks and the music itself is very dry and lacks the character of all their later albums.

[Zappa]

To say that the production on Surfer Rosa sucks is baffling to me, if you like the flat, colorless sound on Doolittle...

In fact, it's the sound on Doolittle that makes it so inferior in my eyes, not so much the songs. It's either my 3rd or 4th favorite of theirs.

[cb240]

Wow that is a distracting avatar.

[Zebra]

Pavement - Wowee Zowee

This is my favorite Pavement album.

[EightMilesHigh]

Minor Threat - Complete Discography

**** yes. perfect for getting out agression.

[Robert Crumb]

Right now listening to Cansei de Ser Sexy. Band's kinda horrible and not in that good kind of horrible way, but still sort of fun. Brazilian indie dance-pop. I'll probably never listen to this after a week. I'm going to listen to some Pixies now, though.

[Zmev]

The Eels - Blinking Lights

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Man Man - The Man In A Blue Turban With A Face

Hmm this is cool

[Little Man being Erased]

All my listening time has been devoted to all these new CD's I got the other day.

AFI - Decemberunderground
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
George Harrison - Brainwashed
The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow
Bruce Springsteen - Devils & Dust
Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle
Sonic Youth - Goo

Brainwashed is so friggin' good. I love George.

[Happymeal]

Outkast - The Love Below
Coheed and Cambria - The Second Stage Turbine Blade
Third Eye Blind - s/t
Incubus - Make Yourself

Today, I couldn't help but reminisce.

[br3ad_man]

Surfer Rosa lacked almost all the memorable melodies of Doolittle

"River Euphrates" has the best melody of any song, ever.

[Kyle]

Muse - Blackholes and Revelations
Cursive - Happy Hollow

I think these are the two most enjoyable album of the year so far. This Muse album especially, I don't normally like them, but it's really great.

[ATM]

Yea, that Muse album is pretty fun.
