What I've Been Digging Lately

[JonM]

Dude I just watched the Live At Pompeii DVD last night, and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. It's post-Syd, but it's pre-Dark Side. Check it out.

[Anxious]

I'll see if I can torrent it, sounds good.

[ATM]

Yea Live at Pompeii is cool.

I grabbed a copy of Jorge Ben - Africa Brasil after all the talk about it, and its solid as hell.

[EightMilesHigh]

dub and cheesy metal!

scientist - rids the world of the evil curse of the vampires
judas priest - british steel
iron maiden - the number of the beast

I like Judas Priest better than Iron Maiden.

Painkiller > 99% of other metal songs of all time.

[EightMilesHigh]

I'm digging some random Rod Stewart today.

[Kyle]

Been diggin' some Summer Choons.

Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers
Dizzee Rascal - Showtime
Bedouin Soundclash - Sounding A Mosaic
Mars Volta -Amputechture

[JonM]

ALERT! MAJOR DIGGAGE!

Evangelicals - So Gone

Get this. Now.

What Pitchfork says. (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/36505/Evangelicals_So_Gone)

[YDload]

I like Judas Priest better than Iron Maiden.

Painkiller > 99% of other metal songs of all time.

I'm a bassist so I'm naturally drawn to Maiden. What can I say, Steve Harris is a god v:)v

[Rejd]

Mekons - Fear And Whiskey

This is good stuff. I don't know who recommended it, but thanks a lot.

[pixiesfanyo]

Off Minor.

That's all that needs to be said.

[sr800bkBassist]

i've been digging a few songs by Saturday Looks Good to Me.
are their CD's worth investing in?

[Rejd]

Not really.
Underwater Heartbeat is a catchy number though.

[Robert Crumb]

How did Grandaddy get lumped in there? :angry emote:

[tearyan]

I've been listening to:

Muse - Black Holes And Revelations
Sufjan Stevens - The Avalanche
Nickel Creek - Why Should the Fire Die?

and what I've been into the most:
Low Flying Owls - Elixir Vitae

[YDload]

I hate really sugary indie pop (SLGTM, Mates of State, Grandaddy, Fiery Furnaces, Beulah, etc.). Oh man I can't stand it.

Hence your distaste for the last few Flaming Lips albums? Man I wish that guitarist didn't disappear :(

[asymm]

I hate really sugary indie pop (SLGTM, Mates of State, Grandaddy, Fiery Furnaces, Beulah, etc.). Oh man I can't stand it.
I'd say that the Fiery Furnaces experimentation brings them above your typical sugary indie pop.

Today:
The Police - Synchronicity

[asdf]

Tuxedomoon. A new wave band that deserves so much more credit than they get. So great. It's a shame how few people actually know them.

[thomcourtney]

[Tangy zizzle]

www.myspace.com/dimmerband (ooooh yes.)

The Bronx - The Bronx (II) (it has come out, it has been purchased)
Red Eyed Legends - The High I Feel When I'm Low
Tomahawk - Mit Gas

[Tangy zizzle]

Dude I just watched the Live At Pompeii DVD last night, and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen. It's post-Syd, but it's pre-Dark Side. Check it out.

I'm not a huge Floyd fan by anyones standards, but Live at Pompeii is possibly the best live performance I've ever seen. Can you imagine being one those roadies. Just hanging out, ruins of Pompeii, private show by the Floyd - ****.

"I like to think oysters transcend national barriers"

[sketchyjoe]

Scratch Acid - The Greatest Gift
The Replacements - All Shook Down

[MAthiAS]

The World/Inferno Friendship Society - Red Eyed Soul

[ATM]

Boris - Pink

hellll yea

[Zappa]

I downloaded a bunch of jazz albums from the past year, because the Downbeat Critic's Poll issue came in the mail. So far, Overtime by the Dave Holland Big Band is a miss. Too bombastic.

I also got Africa Brasil by Jorge Ben, and I don't like that, either.

Man, music sucks.

[asymm]

Roxy Music - Avalon
Prefuse 73 - Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives

and now I'm off to start watching the second season of Deadwood...

[Robert Crumb]

Digging a bunch of psychedelic pop songs. Right now, listening to some stuff by White Noise, a weird little early electronic band.

[Matt?]

Roxy Music - Avalon
Prefuse 73 - Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives

and now I'm off to start watching the second season of Deadwood...
i just finished the first season tonight.

it started slow but it was pretty enjoyable once i started getting into it.

[YDload]

Man, "Pickpocket" is like the best ATDI song ever, so damn catchy. Plus it has nonsense lyrics like "breakfast table search team implodes." what

[ATM]

Africa Brasil is crazy good.

Exactly! I got it today and its a really nice album.

[Matt?]

my favorite is transatlantic foe

[asymm]

i just finished the first season tonight.

it started slow but it was pretty enjoyable once i started getting into it.
Definitely. Without Swearengen though, the show would feel so lost. He really pulls everything together for me and makes it all worthwhile.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

jurassic 5 - feedback
ariel pink's haunted graffiti - worn copy (this is really creative, it kinda makes me sick because of all the filters but it's like a 70s blaxploitation film in song form. cool.)

[JonM]

I'd say that the Fiery Furnaces experimentation brings them above your typical sugary indie pop.More like below.

[Bukowski]

Herbie Hancock - Head Hunters

funky as ****.

[asymm]

More like below.
Aaah, clever retort.

I've had An Electric Storm in my hammerspace Amazon basket for months now. Whenever it comes down to actually ordering, it always gets kicked aside for something else. Is it worth the time?

It's good ****[/I]

Oh yeaah

i was at a bar tonite and they played some Morphine songs. neat.

[Zappa]

One of those best jazz albums of the year is actually very good. Time Lines by Andrew Hill. I can't, however, help but feel like his horn players were trying to conjure up Freddie Hubbard and Eric Dolphy.

[Robert Crumb]

I've had An Electric Storm in my hammerspace Amazon basket for months now. Whenever it comes down to actually ordering, it always gets kicked aside for something else. Is it worth the time?

Depends. It's really more of a curio than anything; there are a couple really awesome songs (at least by my measure, which is pretty lenient when it comes to psychedelic pop), but there is also a lot of tinkering that sounds pretty dated. I'd probably buy it, but not if it was anymore than $14.

Earlier today, I was digging some Swell Maps. I want to listen to some Frank Black now though, because I might get free tickets to his show here next month.

[cb240]

Eyes and Arms of Smoke - A Religion of Broken Bones
Jack Rose - Kensington Blues

Background-ish music today

[Daniel!]

Mission of Burma - Vs.

I think I've decided what will be #1 on my 75-84 list. Now I have about 80 more to go.

[JonM]

Aaah, clever retort.I'm sorry, but from the moment I heard their cover of "Norwegian Wood," I was so appalled and offended that I could never see them in a positive light again.

[Luxor]

[metalicajaymz]

P.M. Dawn - Of the Heart, Of the Soul and Of the Cross: The Utopian Experience

there's some weak stuff, there's some great stuff. "Reality Used to Be a Friend of Mine" is awesome.

[asymm]

I'm sorry, but from the moment I heard their cover of "Norwegian Wood," I was so appalled and offended that I could never see them in a positive light again.
Haha, yeah. I can understand that, it's quite the ridiculous cover. Covers aren't their forte - luckily they usually stick to original material.

[JonM]

I think Blueberry Boat is a great record, and EP is pretty good too, but I can't stand the new record. It's unfortunate that I heard it after I heard "Norwegian Wood."

[NineBitFable]

Mission of Burma- Obliterati
Nancy Reagan's Head has been scientifically proven to be impossible not to sing along with.

[Zappa]

Not Blood on the Tracks. Couldn't finish it. By the time I was halfway through, I was ready to off myself.

[metalicajaymz]

Prince - Dirty Mind
Prince - Purple Rain

These better be on everybody's 75-84 lists.

[Robert Crumb]

Another Outkast Idlewild song leaked. "Idlewild Blue (Don'tchu Worry 'Bout Me)" is the title. Very interesting stuff, a huge difference between this and "Mighty O." It's all Andre, a bit what you might expect after Love Below, except this has a heavier blues influence. Neat pop song, perhaps too kitchsy for the mainstream rap audience, though. I like it more than "Mighty O."

[The Great Decay]

Built to Spill - Ancient Melodies of the Future

[Anxious]

Deerhoof

[metalicajaymz]

Prince - Purple Mind
Prince - Dirty Rain

Prince is still badass.

[Happymeal]

Built to Spill - Ancient Melodies of the Future

Far from their best, but this one's sort of overlooked. Nice little pop songs like "The Host" and "You Are" make it worth your while.

Tom Waits - Bone Machine
Duke Ellington - Masterpieces by Ellington
The Jesus Lizard - Goat

Great albums, yeah?

[Matt?]

pokemon snap

[sketchyjoe]

That game rocked.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Deerhoof

aye, so have I. The Milkman scares me.

[YDload]

hey Pink Flag has finally grabbed my attention. i guess it was from "go go go go go go Mr. Suit!" or something. it's like The Clash but without all the bullshit, and understandably the songs are shorter for it.

[ATM]

I watched the new Outkast video, Morris Brown, and its really awesome.

Also checked out the new Gnarls Barkley video for Smiley Faces and its very good.

[The Great Decay]

Joshua Fit For Battle - To Bring Our Own End
Black Flag - Damaged

Ohia - Hearts Newly Arrived

Cheap Trick - In Color
Elvis Presley - From Elvis In Memphis
Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

The Muse album is pretty much the same as the other ones, yet oddly satisfying all the same. The songwriting don't seem as good though.

It's out in a couple of months I think, but apparently it's already leaked to the net. Haven't found it yet...

[Little Man being Erased]

New stuff:

Wire - Pink Flag
Wire - Chairs Missing
Wire - 154
Prince - Purple Rain
Thom Yorke - The Eraser
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
I Heart Hiroshima - Cut in Colour

So I've been digging those and all the sweet **** I saw at Splendour in the Grass.

[Zebra]

Herbie Hancock - Headhunters

This album is brilliant. Chameleon has such a cool bass line.

[Daniel!]

New Bomb Turks

This band can never be turned up loud enough.

That's some good stuff.

I'm really loving the Wire albums so far. I haven't listened to 154 yet, but the first two are gold.

You'll basically same the way after listening to 154. It's only okay, where their first two are some of the greatest music ever made.

[Zappa]

Theoretical Girls' self-titled. This is really good, in places.

[Happymeal]

Theoretical Girls' self-titled. This is really good, in places.

I've been getting into The Contortions among other No New York bands again lately, and that looks mighty interesting.

[Zappa]

I was reading about Branca, and the Theoretical Girls came up as his first band. No wave is awesome, and if you like No New York there'll be stuff on the Theoretical Girls compilation that tickles you a whole whole lot, and little to offend you.

[Sam]

Burmese - Preyer

A pretty cool sludgey metal band in the vein of Boris, but a little on the more abrasive-noisy side. Also, the latest Black Dice record has been playing alot.

[br3ad_man]

So I've been digging those and all the sweet **** I saw at Splendour in the Grass.

Did you see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? I always assumed they were lame and never listened to them but they were ****ing sweet at Splendour. They had the worst crowd besides Wolfmother, but they were so damn cool. Karen O is both incredibly cool and incredibly unattractive.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were awesome. They were great the first time I saw them too so I was expecting a good performance. How good was "Maps"?

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Limp Wrist - Want Us Dead EP
Oh No! Oh My! - Oh No! Oh My!
Pole - 45/45
I Heart Hiroshima - A 3 Letter Word For Candy
Ad Astra Per Aspera - An Introduction To...

& ariel pink is a genius.

Yeah the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were awesome. They were great the first time I saw them too so I was expecting a good performance. How good was "Maps"?

Totally. The guitarist dude is a badass.

[Interstate]

Today so far:

Idlewild - The Remote Part
Rolf Harris - The Best Of Rolf Harris - I listened to most of this while I was getting ready for work this morning. It's, erm, strangely catchy, in a messed up sort of way.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Two Little Boys is one of the best songs ever.

[Kyle]

Did you see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs? I always assumed they were lame and never listened to them but they were ****ing sweet at Splendour. They had the worst crowd besides Wolfmother, but they were so damn cool. Karen O is both incredibly cool and incredibly unattractive.Yeah, they are cool live. Karen O is sooo hawt though :lol: I'm still deciding whether to see them again at Reading Festival, Hundred Reasons are playing at the same time and I've never seen them.

[ATM]

These Arms Are Snakes - Easter

This album ****ing slays.

[asymm]

Phonophani - Phonophani

[Luxor]

Ad Astra Per Aspera - An Introduction To...
I haven't heard that, but Cubic Zirconia is good.

[Zappa]

Whole lotta Debussy solo piano stuff. I've been listening to Walter Gieseking's 50s recording of his complete works for solo piano. I also listened to Debussy's La Mer for orechestra, performed by the NYPO under Bernstein.

[Sam]

Debussy is one of the few classical composers I genuinely like.

[Zappa]

He's one of several for me. I love late romantic music and a lot of 20th century stuff, too. Then earlier stuff here and there. Mostly I've gotten into those last two periods, because I'm still really new to classical music.

[sketchyjoe]

Immortal Technique - Revolutionary Vol. 1 & 2
So good.

[JonM]

He's too extravagantly violent for me.

[YDload]

Hum - You'd Prefer an Astronaut
Gin Blossoms - New Miserable Experience

picked these up for two bucks each at Goodwill. Good deal.

Downward Is Heavenward is the best HUM album in my opinion.

I myself perfer 'You'd Perfer An Astronaut.'

Almost every song on Pink Flag uses just E, G, and A for the riffs. And yet it's still a fun album, so take THAT prog bands >:-}

[Robert Crumb]

Caetano Veloso. Best ever.

[Dog]

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Hank Williams III - Straight To Hell
Pere Ubu - Datapink In The Year Zero EP



It's out already?
It leaked, I don't think it's due out until september or october. And yeah, it kicks.

[Little Man being Erased]

Wire - Pink Flag

Hot damn, this album is rocketing up my '75 to '84 list. An instant favourite if I've ever heard one.

[Robert Crumb]

I just got Glenn Branca's The Ascension and it's pretty awesome. I don't know if I can slide it on to the list.

[Zappa]

Symphony No. 1 is better, I think. The Ascension has some gold, but all of his albums seem to sink into massive skull-crushing noise for the last 20 minutes or more, and it gets a little sad.

[Robert Crumb]

I'll try to check that out soon. I'm experiencing mild music overload as of late, though.

[br3ad_man]

Slint at the moment. I wanted to listen to something else before, but I forgot so I'm listening to Slint.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

i'm getting into pavement again, sorta

The Frogs - It's Only Right and Natural

hahahaha so good

i've been wanting that album for ages.

[mr_jackalope]

Caetano Veloso. Best ever.

True! Tropicalia is one my favorite music movements ever.

I found a good-quality R.E.M. live show from 1984 on soulseek. Chronic Town - Lifes Rich Pageant era material. Beautiful.

My dad once saw them perform that material in a basement...a few weeks before the release of Chronic Town. Leetness.

I've basically just been exploring the Rune Grammofon label a lot more. I already liked Supersilent and the Shining, so I'm checking the rest of what they have to offer. That retrospective is a real helper.

[sketchyjoe]

The Steinways - Missed the Boat
The Unlovables - Crush Boyfriend Heartbreak
Buzz-pop at it's simple best.

[ATM]

If you guys need Frog mps I have tons. My uncle sent me them.

Anyway, I'm diggin on Tor Bruce where are an awesome Bitpop band.

also the Boris Merzbow collaboration needs to be heard to be believed.

oh and I made my mom listen to Jorge Ben all the way from the metro haha

[asymm]

Amazing label. I own a decent portion of their releases, so if you'd like anything in particular - I can probably supply it. The retrospective box set (Until Human Voices Wake Us and We Drown) is one of my favorite musical objects I own.

[Matt?]

mineral- the power of failing

this album is awesome but i feel like it spawned that now cliche pop punk/ emo whine

[biografiend]

Durutti Column - Vini Reilly

man, I'll y$i this if you guys want to hear some awesome Johnny Marr-esque guitar work combined with opera and soul samples.

I've been meaning to download them, I would greatly appreciate it if you could upload it.

Lately:
Lush - Spooky
This Heat - Deceit
Heavenly - Heavenly vs. Satan
Liars - Drum's not Dead
Avey Tare & Panda Bear - Spirit They've Gone...

[Anxious]

Do Make Say Think - & Yet & Yet

[Little Man being Erased]

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...

[Zebra]

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...

Same here.

[YDload]

I've recently figured out how to play the best Dinosaur Jr. song ever on bass. It's "Thumb" btw and I'm listening to it now. So awesome.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Dodgy - Free Peace Sweet

[Interstate]

Nirvana - In Utero - This record seriously annoys me now.
Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced?

[Robert Crumb]

True! Tropicalia is one my favorite music movements ever.

Brazil is an absolute musical goldmine.

Listening to some Frank Sinatra right now.

[NineBitFable]

Don Cabellero- What Burns Never Returns

I have to be in the right mood to really enjoy postrock, and what do you know I am right now.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Brazil is an absolute musical goldmine.

Listening to some Frank Sinatra right now.
Another famous Brazilian.

[Robert Crumb]

Another famous Brazilian.

I'll cut you. :angry:

he had a brazilian hits.

And he worked with Antonio Carlos Jobim, among others.

[Tangy zizzle]

Wankers.

Dimmer - There My Dear

It's a really good album. It's annoying me a little after only 3 spins, but I think I'll fall in love with it soon. A lot more guitar used this time.

[mr_jackalope]

Amazing label. I own a decent portion of their releases, so if you'd like anything in particular - I can probably supply it. The retrospective box set (Until Human Voices Wake Us and We Drown) is one of my favorite musical objects I own.

I wish I could afford something like it, the rip I have of it is really breathtaking. Supersilent is definitely my favorite artist on the label, but I've also immensely enjoyed Alog, Phonophani, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Fartein Valen...well basically everything I've heard. My next mission is to hear some MoHa.

On a completely different note, Bonnie "Prince" Billy's new album, The Letting Go, is freaking gorgeous. I love that man.

[Daniel!]

Bomb the Music Industry! - Album Minus Band

This is a little bit overwhelming at times, but still good.

[Luxor]

mineral
interpol

[EightMilesHigh]

T. Rex - Electric Warrior

Mmmm...such a classic album. Jeepster is a fun song :)

[asymm]

My next mission is to hear some MoHa.
I'll send you Raus Aus Stavanger, what's your email?

[asymm]

Suicide - Suicide
Gruesome album indeed.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

I haven't been able to find it.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

everyone knows the sex pistols are the only good british punk band evar

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

dude they're from belgium
get it straight

[JonM]

I am digging Caetano Veloso too.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Suicide - Suicide
Gruesome album indeed.
I love it.

[Robert Crumb]

"Bebop Kid" is my favorite Suicide song. Suicide is fun.

I am digging Caetano Veloso too.

Nice. Which album?

[br3ad_man]

I saw M. Ward's Transistor Radio for $10 when I was out shopping with some friends before. I feel silly that I didn't buy it, so I'm going to make a trip down there later tonight and pick it up.

[Interstate]

Red House Painters - Red House Painters I
Rocky Votolato - Makers

[mr_jackalope]

I'll send you Raus Aus Stavanger, what's your email?

thedirtyturtle@gmail.com, thanks a ton. Their track on the comp is wicked hot.

[JonM]

Nice. Which album?The '67 s/t. I'm downloading the next two right now.

[The Great Decay]

Going to sleep last night I listened to:

Cat Power - The Greatest
Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing in the Hands

[Matt?]

boys life- temporary

digging their self titled recently, hard to get into, but awesome rocking album

[talk show host]

Calexico - Garden Ruin

I'm a bit disappointed by this to be honest. Maybe i'm just not in the right mood to be listening to Calexico but i'm finding it quite dull at the moment.

[EightMilesHigh]

DMD, I agree with you about the sound on that Buzzcocks album. It's really crisp.

Digging Calexico - Convict Pool for the 435th time today.

[YDload]

Enduring infatuation with Pink Flag. This time it's "Ex-Lion Tamer" as the song of the moment.

[Zebra]

Enduring infatuation with Pink Flag. This time it's "Ex-Lion Tamer" as the song of the moment.

That song is probably my favorite off the album. Either that of Mannequin.

Currently digging:

Can - Tago Mago
Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother

[talk show host]

Embrace - s/t
Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call

[Dave de Sylvia]

Morrissey - Ringleader of the Tormentors

I know this isn't as good as some of his albums, yet I keep returning to this one.

[Robert Crumb]

The '67 s/t. I'm downloading the next two right now.

Check out Transa too, if you come across it. My favorite album of his that I've heard so far.

Listened to these so far today:

Swell Maps - A Trip to Marineville
Caetano Veloso - Caetano Veloso [Tropicalia]
Scott Walker - Climate of the Hunter

Marineville should get as much love as Jane from Occupied Europe does, but it doesn't seem like it does around here. I could listen to "Full Moon in My Pocket" -> "Blam!!" -> "Full Moon (Reprise)" forever.

[ATM]

My dad got him and I tickets for Zappas Playing Zappa so I am diggin on some Hot Rats at the moment! :-D :-D

[YDload]

"The Holiday Song" is a fantastic Pixies cut that should have been on one of their more popular albums. People might be missing out on it :(

[Zmev]

Grandaddy - The Sophtware Slump

They were pretty good.

[Stig Caraveo]

[Dave de Sylvia]

Vini Reilly is like the cube root of Johnny Marr. He's a really talented guitarist, but he's nothing compared to the original.

[Dog]

I only have Return of The Durutti Column but it's very good. Looks like I'll have to check out Vini Reilly.

Right now I'm diggin this Frank Black bootleg I found on soulseek. It's a solo performance of some Pixies songs. Just FB and his guitar. It's nice.

[mr_jackalope]

I thought Return of Durutti Column was decent, but it got really boring in places. Maybe I'll check this one out...

[Tangy zizzle]

Dimmer - There My Dear
Hendrix - Electric ladyland
Voom

[Scuba_Steve]

I'm digging any Nick Cave I can find.

He's so cool.

[asdf]

I guess all that I've been digging today is stuff that my band has learned, or is potentially learning.

That means estradasphere, Gravity, Herbie Hancock, Frank Zappa, King Crimson, Uz Jsme Doma... but only one or two songs.

[YDload]

Mission of Burma- Vs.

pretty good music, but the vocals are kind of annoying. too britishy for an american band :mad:

[Zappa]

I still don't know why Vs. has the status it does.

[asymm]

The Knife - Silent Shout
This album just gets better and better. One of the best from this year.

[masada]

Glenn Branca - The Ascension, Lesson No.1, and Symphony No. 1: Tonal Plexus
Tangerine Dream - Phaedra
Cocteau Twins - Treasure
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Regina Spektor Begin to Hope
Bedouin Soundclash - Sounding a Mosaic

That's about it right now.

[asymm]

Definitely! My initial reactions were very poor as well - then I re-listened about a month later and it all clicked. I'm very glad that I gave Silent Shout another chance.

[br3ad_man]

I need to listen to a grower. I'll check it out.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

yeah silent shout is a very good album. it's really really cool when you are walking at night

& i've been digging
i heart hiroshima
and both of matthew friedbergers albums

[Sepstrup]

I'm digging any Nick Cave I can find.

He's so cool.

Me too. I'm even reading his novel And the *** Saw the Angel.

[Little Man being Erased]

i heart hiroshima
Yeah, boooyeee.

Wire - 154
Wire - Pink Flag
Pavement - Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Thom Yorke - The Eraser
The Smiths - Hatful of Hollow
Prince - Purple Rain

Man, The Eraser is so damn good. I friggin' love it.

[br3ad_man]

I'm finally seeing IHH on Sunday. With Sekiden and Iron On. Should be a sweet show.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

i almost saw them at that all ages show with the grates but i didn't. :(

[br3ad_man]

:(

The Grates are so awesome live too.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, good work bread. And The Grates are definitely awesome fun live, if but a little sickly sweet.

[guitarded_chuck]

Trophy Scars - Alphabet. Alphabets.

Even though I should hate it, it's wicked sweetness.

[Happymeal]

XTC - Drums and Wires
Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation
The Pop Group - Y

Blank Generation seems to be my favorite album at the moment.

[talk show host]

I've been loving Blank Generation too.

[sketchyjoe]

Two Gallants - The Throes
I forgot how good this album is.

[Greg Ginn]

Big Black - The Hammer Party

[Interstate]

Elvis Presley - Classic Elvis
Thom Yorke - The Eraser
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers - A Night In Tunisia
The Knife - Silent Shout

[Dave de Sylvia]

Elvis!

[asymm]

Enjoyable seeing the Silent Shout diggage. It's sublime.

Sun Kil Moon - Tiny Cities

[YDload]

I still don't know why Vs. has the status it does.

NPC wouldn't shut up about it. Anyway my C drive is apparently running out of space, so I might have to delete most of the Mission of Burma songs if I want to check out more great 75-84 albums.

[Interstate]

Elvis!

The King

Enjoyable seeing the Silent Shout diggage. It's sublime.

Sun Kil Moon - Tiny Cities

It's my first listen of the record. The first couple of songs put me off slightly but it's a great record. 'Like A Pen' is one of my favourite songs off it so far.

[Dude3]

Piebald
Hey Mercedes
Braid
Minus The Bear
Job For A Cowboy

[Greg Ginn]

Mission of Burma- Vs.

pretty good music, but the vocals are kind of annoying. too britishy for an american band :mad:

That's an amazing album but I prefer Signals, Calls and Marches.

[sketchyjoe]

Against Me! - Americans Abroad! Live!

It's okay. Too much like a studio album.

[br3ad_man]

The Cranberries
Mogwai
Built to Spill
M. Ward

[EightMilesHigh]

The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
The Smiths - The Smiths

[Little Man being Erased]

TV on the Radio - Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes

I'm liking this a lot more now. But it's still not that awesome. I might have to check out their new stuff.

Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On

I only picked it up this morning (for $5 too), but I like it a lot so far. What a deal.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

I might have to check out their new stuff.


yes. yes you do.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah I think I know someone who has the new one so I might rip it off them.

[br3ad_man]

Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On

I only picked it up this morning (for $5 too), but I like it a lot so far. What a deal.

I got mine for $1. But it didn't have a booklet, so you win. I'll probably rebuy it sometime because it's that good.

I got three Beastie Boys cds for $9 today.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

adelaide needs used/independent CD stores..we have like none

[Little Man being Erased]

That was new, so I win twice.
