What I've Been Digging Lately

[Bartender]

My first listen to Boris - Pink is promising. It plays pretty much like a longer Akuma No Uta, but that's more or less exactly what I was hoping it would be, so tis fine with me.

[Kyle]

^^ That's gonna be next on my wishlist I think.

[Zebra]

Beck - Mellow Gold

It's close between this and Odelay! but I think this is Beck at his best.

[asymm]

Ride - Going Blank Again
It's a very nice album. Similarly elegant as Nowhere.

[dei]

It's been a while since I've put this disc in for a spin.

Beep Beep - Business Casual

[italic zero]

Leonard Cohen, specifically "The Partisan", "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye", "Famous Blue Raincoat", "Chelsea Hotel No. 2", and "Who By Fire".

[Jacaranda]

The new Sonic Youth I'm not sure what I think of it yet. I love the first song on the album though.

[sr800bkBassist]

The new Sonic Youth I'm not sure what I think of it yet. I love the first song on the album though.
yeah, "Reena", "Incinerate", "Pink Steam", "Rats"(most awesome bassline in an SY song yet), and "The Neutral" are all great IMO.

but unfortunately there are a lot of songs that i skip over a lot. it seems like i'm going between those same 5 songs over and over again and skipping everything else. the other ones aren't bad, i just can't get into them yet. this CD isn't as consistent as "Sonic Nurse" but it's still great.

[Bukowski]

Comets on Fire - Blue Cathedral
Art Bears - The World As It Is Today

Comets on Fire are possibly the coolest band ever. The Art Bears were kinda disappointing though. I'll give it another go, but the singer is irritating.

[moosepirate]

R.E.M. - Fables of the Reconstruction

A lot better than it gets credit for.

Its probably their third or fourth best release. Buck plays some great lines; the writing is so wonderfully dark.

[Little Man being Erased]

Johnny Cash - At Folsom Prison

[Anxious]

Ride - Going Blank Again
It's a very nice album. Similarly elegant as Nowhere.
I agree.

Do you like Lush?

[ATM]

Elbow - Leaders Of the Free World

I had forgotten how much I love this album.

[Robert Crumb]

Jorge Ben - Africa Brasil
The Congos - Heart of the Congos
Nomeansno - Wrong

In that order, the day's diggage so far. Played "Tired of Waiting" on my radio show this afternoon, followed by Mission of Burma. So \m/, which is kinda of uncharacteristic of me. But awesome music. Heart of the Congos I haven't really been able to get into since I bought it, but I was kinda feeling it later in the afternoon, driving around in the heat. And Africa Brasil is just many kinds of awesome. Woowoo.

[ATM]

Heart Of the Congos is an absolute classic.

[Robert Crumb]

Always wanted to check it out, but it always seemed hella expensive for an album I didn't know much about. Finally found it used for $10.

[Zappa]

Yeah, Heart of the Congos and Wrong are top shelf releases. I'd love to hear NoMeansNo on radio!

[asymm]

Do you like Lush?
All I have is Split, but it's great as well. As small as shoegaze was, it produced some very satisfying music.

Information - Biomekano
Isan - Plans Drawn in Pencil
Sonic Youth - A Thousand Leaves

[Zappa]

You get Eternal Rhythm by Don Cherry yet, asymm?

[ATM]

Ooh just found the Mo Mega B sides :)

[asymm]

Unfortunately, not yet. My downloading sources have failed me and I'm trying to save money during the summer. Could you hook me up on AIM?

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti - Worn Copy

What's that like?

I've been digging Cody ChesnuTT's Headphone Masterpiece a whole lot lately. So good in it's simplicity.

What Cat Power album should I be starting with?

[dwass5656]

A Tribe Called Quest - Low End Theory




Listen to The Low End Theory by A Tribe Called Quest : http://www.napster.com/player/album/10817655

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

What's that like?

An old 70s blaxploitation/road trip/porn movie in music form, very lo-fi with lots of filtery crap

[Bartender]

*** Ponys - Electric Rock Music

Had relatively low expectations for this, but after one listen it's actually really pretty good for what it is. Nothing challenging, but not everything has to be challenging.

[Tangy zizzle]

What's that like?

You Are Free

[Tangy zizzle]

Been diggin' on the 3 new These Arms Are Snakes songs (posted on myspace). I like them yes, but I dunno. I'm sure they think it's much coller, but we/us/me (the fans) really want the balls-outedness of the EP to come back. They're all going spacey and complex on our arses.

Still good though.

[Tangy zizzle]

Ok, rebuttal of sorts. The songs are actually good. Really ****in' good. This is definate headphone music, it's big and rising n' ****.

[Robert Crumb]

Various Artists - Pop Romantique: French Pop Classics

Bought this on a whim today. Pretty ok, Old and new French pop tunes performed by indie artists. Magnetic Fields, Air, Apples in Stereo, Ladybug Transistor, Luna and stuff. Mostly, American dudes singing in French sounds wack, except for Stephen Merritt. But a couple nice tunes here and there. It's ok.

[Tangy zizzle]

Bic Runga - Birds

This is great. It's not the side of the fence I usually sit on, but it's still so so solid. It has Neil Finn, Rikki Gooch and Shayne Carter (amongst other NZ noteables) on it. It's so delicate and thought out, but it's not over done or pushed.

[sketchyjoe]

Fleshies - Game of Futbol
Fleshies - Gung Ho!

[Zebra]

Can - Monster Movie

It's close but this contends with Tago Mago as the best Can album.

[YDload]

Sunny Day Real Estate- Diary
The Dismemberment Plan- Emergency And I

both albums are probably 5/5, or at least the first one if nothing else

[pixiesfanyo]

Chad vanGaalen - Infiniheart

[YDload]

Oh, and one more comment about Diary: I can't understand any of the lyrics except for "Sometimes you see right through me." That's it for the entire album. Yet I don't feel cheated or anything; I still like the album just fine.

Is this a problem?

[Little Man being Erased]

My Morning Jacket - It Still Moves
The Decemberists - Picaresque

Haven't listened to the Decemberists for a while. Great stuff. I can't really manage to get into It Still Moves much though. It's decent, but it's just too long and all the songs seem drawn out or something.

[ATM]

I'd take Z over it anyday.

[Little Man being Erased]

From the reviews I've read about Z, it seems to be more my kind of style. I might check it out.

[ATM]

It's not as alt-country as their earlier stuff.

[Little Man being Erased]

And it's weird because I thought I'd love It Still Moves because of its alt-country-ness, but I don't.

[Little Man being Erased]

Have you listened to Ryan Adams, nacho?

[Little Man being Erased]

That's not a good first impression of him. That album is completely different to anything else he's done, and it's easily his worst album. Check out Heartbreaker and Cold Roses.

EDIT: the majority of his catalogue is alt-country.

[ATM]

Ryan Adams is yet to grab my attention.

[Little Man being Erased]

Have you checked out either of the albums I mentioned?

The Mean Reds - Destination Imagtion


When I went to the Wires on Fire show, their merch dude talked me into buying their split with them. It comes with a live DVD and the Mean Reds show is pretty insane. A bit more male nudity than I like, though.

[ATM]

Yea, I have Cold Roses and its descent I just cant pay attention to it for some reason.

Hi sat here at home again in front of my computer. really need to get out a bit more. I am digging this band called a new breed of monkey, a bit like artic monkey but way better. I’ve just downloaded a track of theirs called summer http://www.pzaaz.com/anewbreedofmonkey.
It was free to download, in fact that’s another thing! This site I have found pzaaz.com lets you download everything for free, pretty cool! its a bit like myspace, the difference is the money the site makes goes to new musicians. unlike myspace where it goes straight in to the pockets of rupert bloody murdoch. in my book that deserves a plug. :smoke:

ok that’s my rant for the day, stay happy guys!

Pretty solid album. Probably the bleakest of the early Wu-Tang solo albums, the most like 36 Chambers.

Finished up with an Ultramagnetic MCs review, digging Critical Beatdown.

funniest live band ever. they kept saying weiiird things in between songs.

"if you come up to the snack bar, or as you like to call the "stage", we put some Sour Straws here for your enjoyment, take as many as you like. you know, we're a very political band. one thing we feel very strongly about is that we should replace everyone in the white house with Sour Straws. because wars would go on forever, babies would be dying and everything, but THEY'D STAY THE HELL OUT OF OUR BUSINESS."

Just added these to my Ipod today. Had them a good while but I stopped listening to them. Used to be in love with them and I'm reminded why. I have Good Mourning and From here to the Infirmary but I prefer these. Definitly one of the most overlooked bands ever and one of my all time favorites.

[Zebra]

Return to Forever - Romantic Warrior

I don't know much about jazz fusion but this **** is awesome.

[Dog]

Man, nothing makes me happier than driving to Neil Young's Harvest. Seriously, perfect driving album. It's also good for moseying :confused:

I've also been on a power-pop kick this week. Mostly Gin Blossoms and Big Star.
Have you ever heard of the Flamin' Groovies? Great classic power pop. You'll like them if you dig Big Star. Check out Shake Some Action.

[Anxious]

The Taple-beatles. This little group is so awesome. They're like a better Negativland. Just listening to it is like reading a novel by Orwell and makes you hate the government more than any other "political" music could ever do.

Comets on Fire - Avatar
The Replacements - Let it Be
Soulwax - Much Against Everyones Advice
Silver Jews - Bright Flight

[Tangy zizzle]

A smiley to anyone who guesses what's missing.

[Zappa]

I'll do similarly

Harmonia - De Luxe and Musik Von Harmonia
Captain Beefheart - Doc at the Radar Station
Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
Duke Ellington - Ellington Uptown
Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli - Claude Debussy Preludes Volume 1
The Congos - Heart of the Congos
Elvis Costello - This Year's Model
Pavement's first three
Wire's first two

Amazing that there's really only 1 jazz album that made a big impact this year, but fitting that it's Ellington, I suppose.

[Zappa]

It's definitely "poppier." Devoto spits a lot less venom. It's a great album, but "better than Real Life" is hard to calculate, in my book. They're really close.

[ATM]

Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
Patti Smith - Easter
The Cranberries - Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?

the first two because I'm reading Lester Bangs' biography and it put me in the mood for them, and the third one because I feel like it.

I've also been on a power-pop kick this week. Mostly Gin Blossoms and Big Star.


I read that ****, I read everything I can find with Lester Bangs in it.

Anyway, Fugazi - Repeater is a work of art.

[Zappa]

"Because You're Frightened" is ridiculously great. I love "Model Worker" about as much, too.

Correct Use... doesn't have a "Parade," though. I love that slower song.

EDIT: I guess "A Song from Under the Floorboards" fits the latter bill. It's not as good as "Parade."

[ATM]

"Let It Blurt"? Really interesting read. I can't figure out if I like him or not.

Hmm.. I didn't read that one. I read one which was more of a collection of his work called Blood feasts and something something. It was pretty cool, but it took me awhile to figure out if I liked him too.

[Interstate]

The Natural History - Beat Beat Heartbeat
The Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good - Ah I love this album.
The Coral
Diamond D

[Zappa]

I was always under the impression that we all just suck it up so that we can impress our internet buddies.

I always have to do that too. It takes like 30 seconds.

[Robert Crumb]

Listening to the Silver Apples right now, been digging a variety of stuff over the last couple days, though. Currently setting up a playlist for countries involved in the World Cup quarterfinals, which I'll be playing on my radio show on Monday. Got everyone covered except Ukraine, and I'm failing hard on that one.

[Jawaharal]

Zombie Nation - Kernkraft 400 EP

Avey Tare and Panda Bear - Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished.

[Robert Crumb]

Theres nothing quite like Silver Apples. Whats your favorite album. Mine's probably Contact.

Honestly, not sure. I've got the Silver Apples/Contact thing so I don't really place them as seperate albums. "Whirly-Bird" is definitely my favorite song and I like the first few tunes the most in general though, so I'd probably lean towards Silver Apples. Fun stuff.

[ATM]

I just got my hands on the Beck set from Bonnaroo so I am diggin the hell out of that.

[Happymeal]

Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone

I haven't checked out De La Soul and I will do so tonight.

[Jawaharal]

Rock The Casbah is the best party song ever.

The Clash - London Calling
The Clash - Singles

and I bought Double Nickels On The Dime today, cant wait to listen to it.

[pixiesfanyo]

IWASMOFFY - Believes in Patterns


Took long enough for a good emo release to come out this year..

[Tangy zizzle]

???

[asdf]

Listening to the Silver Apples right now, been digging a variety of stuff over the last couple days, though. Currently setting up a playlist for countries involved in the World Cup quarterfinals, which I'll be playing on my radio show on Monday. Got everyone covered except Ukraine, and I'm failing hard on that one.
Silver Apples is great. I couldn't believe it was from the 60's.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Goblin **** - Bagged and Boarded (well this is good stoner rock-ish fun)
Man Man - Six Demon Bag

[YDload]

Found some great stuff courtesy of an online radio show. Gun Club, Suede, two different Tom Verlaine solo songs, and much more. Always an interesting listen.

[pixiesfanyo]

I Would Set Myself On Fire For You.

Emo.

Good.

/slaps forehead

Good to know.

[asdf]

Rob Crow can do no wrong.

Well, maybe that's untrue, but I like everything I've heard of his thus far.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs

The album really isn't that good, but I still like it.

[Greg Ginn]

I'm really digging Sebadoh - Bakesale. Does anyone like this band??

[JonM]

I am digging Black Uhuru and Steel Pulse and other second wave reggae.

[Luxor]

IWASMOFFY - Believes in Patterns

This is amazing.

[Robert Crumb]

Caetano Veloso - Transa

Secretly, I was hoping Brazil would take the World Cup so I would have a reason to play Caetano Veloso songs all day long. But reasons are kind of overrated, you know?

[ATM]

Brazil were seriously outplayed.

[Robert Crumb]

Brazil looked bored. It's the World Cup, you jerks!

[ATM]

Well, they have already won 6 of them.

[Robert Crumb]

True, but seven man. Seven. I was falling asleep during the game. It only got exciting when Brazil realized there were ten minutes left and they were about to get bounced from the tourney. Jerks.

[BillCosby]

the catchiest power-pop ever.

nacho statement

[Dave de Sylvia]

The Gin Blossoms are kind of like the Goo Goo Dolls except a lot like the Goo Goo Dolls.

I've listened to The Queen is Dead three times straight. Damn.

[YDload]

A Boy Named Goo is the worst album title since 14 Shades Of Grey.

[Dave de Sylvia]

In truth, Westerberg's made much more bad music than GGDs, but he's also infinitely more awesome so it balances out alright.

[SpeedoBot]

Welcome to the forums :thumb:

The Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good - I think TPR may be one of my favourite bands of all time based simply on this album.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone

It gets better every time I listen.

[YDload]

Minus The Bear- They Make Beer Commercials Like This EP

Seriously this is a great little album they have here, all good songs. Especially "I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien," such a chill track. Almost like post-rock except it has vocals and it's ABOUT something.

I will never get tired of hyping this EP. Just tired of spelling out the laborious title.

[Interstate]

"Forget Me" has such a good chorus. What a catchy album.

It's a perfect closer. I'm clueless as to which album to get after this though. I'll have to search hard on Ebay for them as they're really hard to find in the UK.

[slack]

jeff buckley - sketches for my sweetheart the drunk
aphex twin - selected ambient works vol. 2

That EP is awesome. I lost it though when I got a new PC cos the other one died on me :upset: I would download it but my slsk seems to have died on me. It's refusing to download.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm starting to really, really REALLY like the Replacements.

High On Fire - The art of self defence
Howlin' Rain - Howlin' Rain
Replacements - Tim

[Daniel!]

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica

I think I like this. I'm not very sure.

[Bukowski]

Can - Tago Mago
Unwound - Repetition

[YDload]

I'm starting to really, really REALLY like the Replacements.

They have a new song out called "Message To The Boys." No Bob Stinson obviously, but it still sounds pretty faithful I suppose.

[Interstate]

The Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not -My first listen of this proper, I don't get what all the fuss is about. Some of the songs are good but overall the album doesn't really do anything for me. I guess they're better live than on record.

Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You - This on the other hand, is faultless. One of the best soul albums ever made.

[6Stringer]

Today I bought Defiance, Ohio - The Great Depression it's kind of a folky punk band similar to This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb. Also, Arrogant Sons of Bitches' Three Cheers for Disappointment has been playing on my car stereo for the past few days, so has Anti-Flag - For Blood and Empire. I still think A-F have sold out, but dammit they still make some fine music.

[Robert Crumb]

Arrestthisman and Robert Crumb, you n00bs. Brazil has only won five world cups, they were going for six.

Whatever.

I bought some more music today. I don't know why. I haven't even listened to all the stuff I bought last time. But I had to buy an album by some Ukrainian dudes or else I would have had to give up my World Cup radio show plans. I ended up picking up the only album they had in the puny Ukraine section of the puny world music section. It's an album of traditional Ukrainian songs covered by The Ukrainians, which is surprisingly a band that features one of the dudes from the Wedding Present. It's pretty good stuff, also has a couple of well done Sex Pistols covers. Also bought, and thus, will eventually dig:

Caetano Veloso - S/T (1967)
Count Five - Psychotic Reaction
Al Green - I'm Still In Love With You

I also wanted to buy the Plan B album but couldn't find it.

[Zappa]

Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica

I think I like this. I'm not very sure.

Yeah, you do.

[Tangy zizzle]

Marvin Gaye - Here, My Dear
Comets on Fire - Avatar (I've made my mind up, this is easily their best)
Replacements - Tim
Can - Monster Movie

[Tangy zizzle]

Count Five - Psychotic Reaction


Opinion? Is it not pure grungey gold?

[BillCosby]

The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I
Les Savy Fav - Inches

Beach vacation this past week. I dug:

The New Pornographers - Mass Romantic
Islands - Return to the Sea
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?
The Velvet Underground - Loaded
T. Rex - Electric Warrior
Asobi Seksu - Citrus
Roxy Music - Country Life

And a little bit of the Led Zeppelin DVD on the car ride home.

[Ornery Cephalopod]

Comets on Fire - Avatar (I've made my mind up, this is easily their best)


I concur, man. I kinda miss the messiness of the older stuff, but overall, easily their best.

For my most recent diggage today:

The Coral - s/t

I dunno, I don't like it nearly as much as Invisible Invasion... but I'll have to spend some more time with it.

[Little Man being Erased]

Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
Bruce Springsteen - The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle
Sonic Youth - Goo
Beastie Boys - Licensed to Ill

Goo is awesome.

[Zappa]

Glad to see someone isn't done with St. Elsewhere yet. I haven't heard it in weeks now.

[Little Man being Erased]

It seems to have pretty decent staying power. To me, at least.

[Daniel!]

Yeah, you do.
On second listen, I think you're right.

[The Great Decay]

It seems to have pretty decent staying power. To me, at least.

The only track I really enjoyed on the album was "Crazy", and that got old after only a couple of listens. I did only listen to the album in its entirety once, though, so maybe I need to listen to it a couple more times.

[sr800bkBassist]

i just bought:

Jefferson Airplane- "After Bathing at Baxter's"

very cool CD.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

The only track I really enjoyed on the album was "Crazy", and that got old after only a couple of listens. I did only listen to the album in its entirety once, though, so maybe I need to listen to it a couple more times. The charm wore off that album pretty quickly for me. There are some really good songs in there, but the rest are just undeveloped and annoying novelty tunes.

[asymm]

Comets on Fire - Avatar (I've made my mind up, this is easily their best)
That^
and
Autechre - Untilted

[Robert Crumb]

Opinion? Is it not pure grungey gold?

It's pretty cool. Title track has been a favorite for a while, so I was kinda expecting to be underwhelmed, but there's a lot of fun stuff here on first listen. Been wanting it for a while.

The Day They Shot A Hole In The Jesus Egg - The Flaming Lips

So very good. I love their cover of What A Wonderful World

[YDload]

I think it's a little weird that the first song off the new TMV album is (allegedly) gonna be called "A Vicarious Atonement" when the new Tool album opened up with "Vicarious."

And both songs are/will be about seven minutes long :eek:

Not that it has anything to do with how it will sound (haven't listened to them yet, trying to wait just a bit). It's just a bizarre coincidence.
