Nah, how cool.

[Minus The Flair]

Aesop Rock

You guys given me some great hip-hop from that thread

[Sepstrup]

Olivia Tremor Control - Music From the Unrealized Film Script, Dusk at Cubist Castle.

I still sometimes find myself a bit frustrated by the ambient sections, because I'd rather listen to the pop songs, because they're so awesome. Spectacular album. I hope Black Foliage is just as good.

[pixiesfanyo]

Damien Rice
and probably Kayo Dot.

[Happymeal]

I listened to Menos El Oso the other day. I'm liking this band more now, but their vocalist is still boring.

The Who - Tommy

More enjoyment out of gapless play in iTunes.

[ATM]

The Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood
Karate - Some Boots
Russian Circles - Enter

[Eliminator]

The Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood
Karate - Some Boots
Russian Circles - Enter

Yessssss.

Shakira - Oral Fixation, Vol. 2
TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain
Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute
Gastr del Sol - Camofleur

[Zappa]

Is Oral Fixation good? Laundry Service is pretty good, as far as I remember.

[Eliminator]

I like Vol. 2 a lot.

Really though, the songs no it are pretty dissimilar to "Hips Don't Lie". A lot of them are more pop-rockish and it's usually pretty interesting. And finally Carlos Santana doesn't ruin a song he guests on.

[Zappa]

Hah. Yeah, Laundry Service doesn't have that synthy squeak booty beat pop sound at all, so I figured that was a hype-making "CROSSOVER HIT."

[The Great Decay]

Shakira can dance really good.

[Eliminator]

Hah. Yeah, Laundry Service doesn't have that synthy squeak booty beat pop sound at all, so I figured that was a hype-making "CROSSOVER HIT."

She sounds sort of like Alanis Morissette in English.

But like, hotter and quirker at the same time. Somehow.

[Zappa]

The synth brass in "Mosquito Song" is so cheesey, but somehow not off-putting. I don't get how they do it.

[Eliminator]

Magic.

[Zappa]

Mussbe.

[BillCosby]

He was supposed to be performing yesterday at a rally for Darfur that I went to, but he had to cancel because of throat problems.

I guess he supports genocide then.

[EightMilesHigh]

Miles Davis - Birth Of The Cool

possibly the smoothest of all the smooth jazz.

[Zappa]

Not smooth jazz...cool jazz. Also known as West Coast jazz. Also known as white dudes.

[EightMilesHigh]

Not smooth jazz...cool jazz. Also known as West Coast jazz. Also known as white dudes.

Yeah I know I just like joking around and making fun of easy listening jazz.

[Eliminator]

I want to see Kenny G. play some avant-garde stuff*.

*Getting a makeover also applies to this.

[The Great Decay]

Lately:

Built to Spill
Beulah
Cat Power

[Eliminator]

"Rockets" is the best Cat Power song.

[The Great Decay]

I'm partial to "He War" because it's so damn catchy. "Hate" and "I Don't Blame You" are up there, too.

[EightMilesHigh]

King Crimson - In The Wake Of Poseidon

[Cyco_Vision]

No Use For a Name - The Daily Grind

... ok, so indie isn't my favorite, but it's up there.

[Zmev]

post-whore

[Robert Crumb]

Mission of Burma and other stuff. Gonna see MoB tomorrow. Am I going to go deaf or am I going to go deaf, eh?

[Anxious]

Probably not. Seeing that Roger Miller almost is.

[EightMilesHigh]

Nas - Illmatic

one of the few albums that seems to get better every time I listen to it. N.Y. State Of Mind is so unbelievably badass.

[Happymeal]

A whole bunch of Ted Leo.

[asymm]

The Buzzcocks - Singles Going Steady

Then a lot of sad bastard music:
Red House Painters - Songs for a Blue Guitar
Yo La Tengo - And Then Everything Turned Itself Inside-Out
Jason Molina - Let Me Go, Let Me Go, Let Me Go

[twistinside]

eagles of death metal
built to spill
okkervil river

[Luxor]

GZA/Genius - Liquid Swords
Ghostface - Fishscale
A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

[Zebra]

Beck - Odelay!

[Kyle]

Dizzee Rascal - Boy in Da Corner
Jeff Buckey - Grace
The Streets - Original Pirate Material

[YDload]

Embrace- Embrace
Meat Puppets- Meat Puppets II this would make a perfect highway driving album, night or day

and right this moment, Nomeansno- Wrong "Rags and Bones" has the best riff ever.

[Eliminator]

Dee Dee King - Standing in the Spotlight
Mission of Burma - Vs.

[EightMilesHigh]

Mitch Hedberg - Strategic Grill Locations

[Anxious]

Meat Puppets- Meat Puppets II this would make a perfect highway driving album, night or day



I listened to it on the way to New Mexico. ****ing epic it was.

[Zmev]

Adam Green - Gemstones

much dissimilar to his first 2 releases. "over the sunrise" is sweet

[Little Man being Erased]

Adam Green is rad. Friends of Mine is excellent fun.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I had a bit of a heavy metal day today, ranging from the funky/blues glam of Little Caesar and Extreme early in the day to Velvet Revolver and Ginger later in the day. Then I threw in some Butch Walker and Nas for good measure, and topped it off with lashings of hot Cool J.

[br3ad_man]

Laura - Radio Swan is Down

Good post-rock band from Melbourne.

[Eliminator]

Belle Époque - À la Dérive
Blackalicious - Blazing Arrow
Blonde Readhead - Misery is a Butterfly

b wtf

[Happymeal]

Amusement Parks on Fire - Out of the Angeles

Even better than their first one imo. This one's kinda more post-rock than shoegaze but it has the same charm as the debut. If you haven't heard them before, think Before the Dawn Heals Us M83 mixed with Swervedriver.

[Zappa]

One day soon I will listen to ABBA in the dorms without headphones.

[ATM]

Everyone already knows you're a dancing queen.

[Zappa]

Everyone already knows you're a dancing queen.

You're probably right.

[pixiesfanyo]

Take out the dancing in that statement and you've got my opinion on the matter.

XD

[mr_jackalope]

One day soon I will listen to ABBA in the dorms without headphones.

Freshman year I used to thrash around to MIA in my dorm, it ain't no thing. Plus, your a long haired feller like me, it's not like anyone's expecting anything of you.

[Rejd]

Brian Eno - Apollo, Atmospheres & Soundtracks
Mocean Worker - Enter the Mowo!
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

[Little Man being Erased]

De La Soul - 3 Feet High and Rising

Diggin' this a helluva lot more the second time through.

[Kyle]

Yeah, that album didn't hit me the first time through either. But it's a real grower, one of my favorite Hip hop albums now.

[The Jungler]

MF Doom - Operation Doomsday

I really forgot how good this CD was.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, that album didn't hit me the first time through either. But it's a real grower, one of my favorite Hip hop albums now.
That's good to know, because I didn't really like it much at first.

[ATM]

Oh man, that's one of my favorite albums ever.

edit: regarding Operation Doomsday

Hmm I'm still diggin Samuel Jackson Five and Russian Circles.

[The Jungler]

Oh man, that's one of my favorite albums ever.

edit: regarding Operation Doomsday

Hmm I'm still diggin Samuel Jackson Five and Russian Circles.I reviewed it a while ago and gave it a 4.5. I thought I ****ed up the rating untill a little while ago when I started getting back into Doom. There are so many great songs on that CD. Even the skits are awesome.

[Kyle]

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas

I was worried I had exhausted this album, but it's still great after a little break from it.

[asymm]

The Who - Who's Next
Alog - Duck-Rabbit

[Broken Arrow]

I get to see the top band in a week. Should be a good time, hopefully.

[Eliminator]

Jay-Z - Reasonable Doubt

[NineBitFable]

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas

I was worried I had exhausted this album, but it's still great after a little break from it.

I felt the same way about a week ago!. . . but I think I may have to wait a little longer before I listen to it again.

Right now I'm digging TV on the Radio, Explosions in the Sky, Phoenix and Professor Murder. Oh, and Muse.

[Zmev]

Dj Shadow - Endtroducing

Getting ready for both free shows tomorrow.

[Zappa]

Metallica - Master of Puppets

so yeah this is pretty average. There are only two awesome Metallica songs in their whole discography, and they are "Creeping Death" and "One".

"One" is really shitty.

"Master of Puppets" and "Battery" are brilliant.

[Kyle]

I never liked "One" either, it was just like a less good version of "Fade To Black". I'd say I prefer "Sanitarium" aswell, but the solo in that song is one of the worst ever.

[Eliminator]

"One" is really shitty.

"Master of Puppets" and "Battery" are brilliant.

Sad thing is, "One" is the best song on ...And Justice for All.

[Zappa]

Sad thing is, "One" is the best song on ...And Justice for All.

Well yeah, but that album is possibly Metallica's worst.

[Bartender]

Close to, at least.

Yeah, that album didn't hit me the first time through either. But it's a real grower, one of my favorite Hip hop albums now.

Was the other way around for me; I really liked it at first (and for a while), but now I barely listen to it. Just a select few tracks now and then.

I've listened/'m listening to to a bunch of stuff (mostly albums I bought over summer and have only had the chance to listen to now, but a couple downloaded to see what all the fuss is about) that might make it onto an 85-94 list, if I make one. Right now though, I'm listening to Cardiacs - Sing to God (1995) for the first time, and so far it's excellent. Double album though (kind of), so I don't have high hopes for it lasting to the end of the second disc.

[Sepstrup]

Metallica - Master of Puppets

so yeah this is pretty average. There are only two awesome Metallica songs in their whole discography, and they are "Creeping Death" and "One".

That's very untrue. They're not among their best songs. Master of Puppest is a good album in my opinion.

Having begun reading Innocent When You Dream, I think I will go on another Tom Waits craze. I need more of his albums.

[YDload]

Close to, at least.

I heard about The Cardiacs before but the only song of theirs I heard was "Angleworm Angel" and it's really unnerving so I didn't really listen for more stuff.

[BJ_maddog]

Well yeah, but that album is possibly Metallica's worst.

omg no way

I remember playing that on repeat all day long. Every song is a little mini epic.
If you want to go worst, pick anything from Load onwards.


digging Camille, BRMC

[Zappa]

At least Load, Reload, and St. Anger suck gracefully. AJFA has this certain pretense.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I like AJFA for it's miles behind the three that preceded it. Cliff Burton still sucks though.

[BJ_maddog]

pretense.

what.. explain

[Bartender]

I heard about The Cardiacs before but the only song of theirs I heard was "Angleworm Angel" and it's really unnerving so I didn't really listen for more stuff.

Yeah, I think I know what you mean. They're quite odd. Though I don't think Angleworm Angel is one of their better songs (to be honest, it's halfway through the second Sing to God so I was kind of just waiting for the end by the time I heard it), they're pretty tiring to listen to anyway.

I thought I should check them out because one of their old guitarists played in a couple of my favourite bands (the Wildhearts and Silverginger 5), whose solo album I'd picked up at some point (an album of Zappa covers, disarmingly close to Cardiacs sound than most other stuff I've heard). I'm surprised at how much I like them so far (2 or 3 albums in), given the similarity of their sound to his solo thing.

But yes. Odd, they are.

[Kyle]

I liked Load and Re-load....they had some really good songs. Plus, they're free of some of the metal cliches I associate with their other albums.

[Zmev]

[asymm]

Yo La Tengo - "The Story of Yo La Tengo"
I'm digging the whole album, but this song is just amazing. What a great closer.

[mr_jackalope]

Yo La Tengo - "The Story of Yo La Tengo"
I'm digging the whole album, but this song is just amazing. What a great closer.

I like the album plenty too, though it's definitely not one of their best. The first and last tracks ("Pass the Hatchet" and that one) destroy the rest of the album.

I'm listening to The Heads' Under the Stress of a Headlong Dive right now. Talk about psychadelic rawk.

[Zmev]

I prefer Pass the Hatchet to Story

[JonM]

The Slackers have made some of the most faithful ska/rocksteady since
1970.

[pixiesfanyo]

maudlin of the Well - Leaving Your Body Map
Mare - EP

[Jacaranda]

Dino Jr. - Where You Been

[Bukowski]

Butthole Surfers
Melvins
The Cows
Sicbay

[Kyle]

Dino Jr. - Where You BeenWhere it counts, you usually dig the same albums as me. :cool:

People seem to have mixed oppinon about that album, but I think it's one of the best Dino J records.

[ATM]

Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your ***
Slick Rick - Behind Bars
Erik Sermon - Double Or Nothing

[Zebra]

Marquee Moon

"Elevation" is the only track that I don't care for. It's still good but sub-par to the rest of the songs.

[YDload]

Yes, that's probably true. There isn't a bad song on the album, but if I had to pick one that's just slightly below all others, it would be "Elevation"

[Bukowski]

People seem to have mixed oppinon about that album, but I think it's one of the best Dino J records.

Its good, and I like it more than anything else after Bug. But the first 3 albums kill it. Not The Same is one of my favorite Dino Jr songs though.

I'm listening to The Clash just now, because of that dreadful thread about it in punk.

[Daniel!]

Its good, and I like it more than anything else after Bug. But the first 3 albums kill it. Not The Same is one of my favorite Dino Jr songs though.

Is their first album any good? I've never bothered checking it out.

[Bukowski]

It's a bit disjointed and badly recorded, but yeah I like it quite a bit. Not as good as the other two though,

[Eliminator]

Sonic Youth - Rather Ripped
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid Of You and I Will Beat Your ***
Slick Rick - Behind Bars
Erik Sermon - Double Or Nothing

the music or the words?

[YDload]

"Repulsion" is seriously one of their best songs, but i dont know about the other album i just LOVE that song.

Rufus Wainwright - Want Two
Anathema - Judgement
Maps and Atlases - Trees, Swallows, Houses
M. Ward - End of Amnesia

[Dave de Sylvia]

Want Two is sweet.

[Robert Crumb]

Mission of Burma was pretty great. Listening to them right now. Roger Miller's moves = :).

[sexymuffin]

yeah it is

np: the art teacher

eDiT:to plath

[YDload]

Nope, it has an awesome chorus. The two worst songs are "Guiding Light" and "Friction".

those songs rule; "Friction" is the second most badass song next to "venus" and "Guiding Light" has an awesome outro riff/solo thing.

[Eliminator]

Well we all know that the title track is the best so why bother discussing the rest?

[The Great Decay]

I listened to The Unicorns while I was walking around town today.

[Kayetan]

The Animal Collective is really good.

[Eliminator]

I was listening to Feels the other day and remembered that.

[Zappa]

My friend sent me Feels today. She lives downstairs.

[Daniel!]

The Jayhawks - Hollywood Town Hall

This is a damn fine album. The first song is fantastic, as is every other song.

[Daniel!]

It's a lot like Uncle Tupelo, but with a little more of a Tom Petty/Neil Young thing going on. You would most likely dig it. I sure am.

[FA]

The Black Heart Procession
Beirut
As Tall As Lions (kind of)
Wolf Parade (kind of)

[Little Man being Erased]

OutKast - Aquemini
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
EPMD - Strictly Business

and now:
Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong with Love

Man, this is great. Built to Spill are a spiffing band.

[Bartender]

I heard about The Cardiacs before but the only song of theirs I heard was "Angleworm Angel" and it's really unnerving so I didn't really listen for more stuff.

Just thought to ask, where did you hear it?

[Little Man being Erased]

Danger Doom - The Mouse and the Mask

Why did I waste my time trying to decide whether this would be good or not? It's fantastic!

Annie - Anniemal

Great stuff. But I still think "Chewing Gum" is the best track.

[ATM]

Deerhoof - Milk Man

This is awesome.

Gang of Four - Entertainment!

Tash - Rap Life

[sketchyjoe]

Johnny Hobo and the Freight-Trains


Comfort listening.

[pixiesfanyo]

he also likes Nomeansno and that's probably the best :cool:

Moss Icon

[Bartender]

^I listened to Spiderland for the first time earlier today. My first thought was that it kind of reminded me of Moss Icon without the angry bits.

the something awful forums. there's this guy who considers them his favorite band, and he likes a lot of weird stuff (like Dog Fashion Disco even) and i thought i would give it a try

[asymm]

The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
I think I've listened to at least something by Mark Kozelek every day this week.

[Happymeal]

Magma - Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh

[Tangy zizzle]

The Drones - Here Come the Lies
Silver Jews - Bright Flight
The Grifters
Superchunk

[Anxious]

Lots and lots of Swans.

[Tangy zizzle]

Depressed much?

[Anxious]

Yeah. I also discovered the rest of their albums after Children of God a few weeks ago so I have to listen to all of them.

[Tangy zizzle]

Spencer P. Jones

Way better than Beasts of Bourbon. Way better.

[Tangy zizzle]

Clinic were good. Know if they have anything comin' out soon?

[Lufnoops]

Mazzy Star, are they listened to here? Are they indie? oshi

[Dave de Sylvia]

Val Emmich - Slow Down Kid

Damn, this album is hot. I hope he doesn't go wimpier on his new one though.

[Eliminator]

So early I attempted listening to Merzbow.

I'll try again tomorrow.

[Kayetan]

Jackson C. Frank

Not really a/i, but it's still good.

[EightMilesHigh]

The Cure - Po'rnography

[mr_jackalope]

The Mekons - Retreat from Memphis

And I'm going to see the Mountain Goats this evening. Should be mega.

[el doctor]

The Arcade Fire - Funeral

I bought this right after it came out and was so turned off by all of the hype. As time has gone on though, I've only grown to like this more. One or two songs fall flat, but "Crown of Love" and "Rebellion (Lies)" more than make up for that.

Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your ***

This is great so far (about 4 songs left). It's a lot more eclectic than their last few releases.

[Daniel!]

Neil Young - Ragged Glory
Neil Young - Sleeps With Angels
Neil Young - After the Goldrush

Cool guy, that Neil Young.

[Robert Crumb]

Jon Lucien and Lee Hazelwood. Need to hear more from both these guys.

[The Jungler]

Pretty much anything by Madlib in preperation for the new Madvillain LP.

So far I still prefer their first one. There's some really good bits in this though.

[EightMilesHigh]

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - No More Shall We Part

so far so good

why is nick cave so effing awesome

[Little Man being Erased]

The Flaming Lips - Clouds Taste Metallic
Hüsker Dü - Zen Arcade
The Bronx - The Bronx
TV on the Radio - Return to Cookie Mountain

First time listening to all of those. Clouds Tast Metallic is my first taste of pre-Soft Bulletin FLips and it is excellent. Couldn't really dig Zen Arcade except for a handful of songs, but I'm not surprised because I don't normally listen to stuff like it. I'll definitely give it a chance to grow though. The Bronx is mind-****ingly awesome. Return to Cookie Mountain is a hell of a lot better than Desperate Youth.

[Little Man being Erased]

I was waiting for that. But Zen Arcade just seemed a bit boring for some reason. Maybe I wasn't in the correct frame of mind at the time.

Zen Arcade has a lot of boring stuff in it. But the good stuff is so good (including just about anything by Grant Hart) so keep listening :)

awww daaang. It's weird that I know these guys, and it sucks that everyone (Pitchfork) hates Aaron's voice. Are you listening to their new album?

[biografiend]

Sebadoh - III
and I'm about to watch The Wire and then go see Man Man play live. It's going to be a great evening.

p.s. Did you see Man Man in Champaign? I was planning on going with some friends, but I ended up staying home.

[Anxious]

The Fiery Furnaces


These guys deserve all the hype.

[Doctor D.]

Sooo much of The Residents. I downloaded a large collection of albums and I can't get enough of them. Man, this rekindles my already fiery passion for those eyeball headed strangers.

I think 154 by Wire is FINALLY starting to grab me. It's been a longtime coming.

[Happymeal]

Wires on Fire - s/t

At last I found this. It's tamer than the EP in some respects, but there's some really memorable songs here. Kind of what The Bronx did on their new one. I miss the mean riffs though.

[Broken Arrow]

I'm digging the new Yo La Tengo album as of late.

[asymm]

p.s. Did you see Man Man in Champaign? I was planning on going with some friends, but I ended up staying home.
Nope, I'm at school - so I'm in Des Moines. They played the Vaudeville Mews here - only about 25-30 people attended the show.

[Bukowski]

Scott Walker
Pixies
Magnetic Fields

[Bukowski]

yeah I'm checking out the link just now.

OK Dimez, critique:

Class of '05:
I have to say I really liked this song a LOT. The intro is cool, in a sloppy Tom Waits-y kind of way. The chorus is killer, catchy-as-**** and with great vocals which remind me of Defiance Ohio. I'm not suckin' it to ya, I really love this song.

Book Of All:
Cool song as well, great vocals again and nice noodly guitar line and jazzy drumbeat. Almost as good as the first song.

Firecracker:
Not much I can say, it's a fun pop punk song.

and the last one isn't really a song so...

All in all, you guys have lots of potential. I like your sound a lot, it's like a great mix of things I like. Special props to the vocalists. I'd not have done this, but the first song was so good I couldn't not. Keep it up man.

Incidentally, what is your role in this band?

[Zebra]

I've been listening to the Flaming Lips all night. Listening to all of their 80's, 90's and current stuff on shuffle is really cool.

[Anxious]

my new thing. br3ad_man and sketchyjoe will like it.

When do you have time to do this, you post on here your whole life.

Its good.

[Eliminator]

I've been listening to a lot of Fiery Furnaces and Björk lately.

[Eliminator]

I tried listening to those songs, but apparently MySpace music hates me and doesn't want me to listen to music there.

[Little Man being Erased]

I listened to that first song. It was alright. Sounded a bit too much like ska in places.

[Dog]

Swans - Filth
Calvin Johnson - Before The Dream Faded

[asdf]

many thanks for the critiques, these are very nice things to hear. I'm the drummer.
Pretty awesome. I clicked to listen as it was mentioned in a punk forum thread, and I didn't realize it was your band. Good stuff.


This week I intend to listen to almost exclusively music from the czech republic.

Great tunes, they're awesomely catchy. I love the vocals. gg man.

Magnetic Fields (loving them a lot just now)
Talk Talk - Laughing Stock

[JonM]

I'm diggin all the Dead Prez records, but they're not diggin me very much. I wonder why this phenomenon of white people getting way into explicitly anti-white music occurs? I'm totally feelin all these songs, and half of them are about killing white people.

[Zmev]

Magnetic Fields (loving them a lot just now)

dude you better have 69 love songs.

Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole

I didn't realize how good "Where Do I Begin" is until today

[Little Man being Erased]

Tom Petty - Damn the Torpedoes

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs

I had an idea in my head of what Animal Collective would sound like, and I was a long way off. I don't know if I like it though. It seemed a bit fruity.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I've been digging alternately Val Emmich, Green Day and Joe Jackson.

[Zebra]

Sonic Youth - Sister

This is much better then Daydream Nation.

[pixiesfanyo]

Six Organs of Admittance

[The Jungler]

UNKLE - Never, Never, Land and Psyence Fiction

I can't tell which one I like better, but they're both fantastic.

[Otherside]

Sonic Youth - Sister

This is much better then Daydream Nation.

it's much more acessible and has some great songs.

I don't know if I like it better than Daydream Nation though :\

[BillCosby]

Thom Yorke - The Eraser
Justin Timberlake - FutureSex/LoveSounds
Three 6 Mafia - Most Known Unknown
Against Me! - The Disco Before The Breakdown

[Zappa]

I think there's some deal with my internet access here that recognizes peer-to-peer transferring, and slows them. I started this download (of the blanky of sound) at about 60k/s, and now it's down to about 2k/s.

[Little Man being Erased]

That's messed up, man. My connection at home just goes at 2k/s all the time.

[Tangy zizzle]

Otis Rush - An Introduction to Otis Rush

[pixiesfanyo]

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

This album is so good.

[Tangy zizzle]

Oh and The Drones - The Millers Daughters

I'd go so far as saying they're my all time favourite. With stuff like I Believe (holy crap, what a song, jesus), Someone on Your Bond, Mean Streak, Slammin on The Breaks and Bird In A Church all on one disc...and another 3 albums all full of pure gold. **** man.

[Little Man being Erased]

Big call man. I might pick up their new one when I hit the big smoke in a bit over a week.

[Tangy zizzle]

Well no other band since Queens' has impacted me this much.

[Zmev]

Finch - Say Hello to Sunshine

This is pretty good

[br3ad_man]

I could go see the dude from The Drones play an acoustic set at Rockinghorse on Friday. I'd really like to, but I'm not sure if I can really afford to drop $10 on a train ticket. Hmmm.

[Sepstrup]

So djangos.com finally sent me DJ Shadow's Entroducing... after a month of waiting. It's an awesome album.

[Happymeal]

King Geedorah - Take Me to Your Leader

I need more stuff like this.

[pixiesfanyo]

Still Life - From Angry Heads with Skyward Eyes

[Sepstrup]

David Bowie is making a comeback in my cd player.

[The Jungler]

Midlake - The Trials of Van Occupanther

I still don't know how exactly to describe this, but get it. It's like a dusty, catchy, lo-fi blanket of sound.That CD is really great. The sound is really cool, but definetly a step down from the first record.

[The Great Decay]

Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
Slint - Spiderland
TV On The Radio - Young Liars

Dooooooooo eeeeeet.

Frank Sinatra - In the Wee Small Hours

[Eliminator]

It's the most solid RS album pretty much.

Right now I'm listening to Thriller so I guess I'm digging that.

[Eliminator]

"The Girl is Mine" makes me cringe.

[Eliminator]

"Beat It" is badass dood.

but yeah there's some crap here.

[pixiesfanyo]

Converge - You Fail Me

Why hasn't No Heroes leaked yet?

>:_____

[Zebra]

Slint - Spiderland

I've been listening to Spiderland also and it's not that great. Breacrumb Trail, Good Morning Captain, and Don Aman are the only tracks that I really enjoy. The rest is just alright.

[pixiesfanyo]

False.

Burton Wagner - In The Realms of The Unreal

[ATM]

King Geedorah - Take Me to Your Leader

I need more stuff like this.

Yea I love that album. It was an impulse buy, but now I listen to it all the time.

I'm digging Dangerdoom and the new Beck.

[The Great Decay]

Converge - You Fail Me

Why hasn't No Heroes leaked yet?

>:_____

I want this album. If you figure out when it leaks, post it holmes.

[mr_jackalope]

Nah. It's a solid 4.7 record.

I've been jamming Orange Juice's You Can't Hide Your Love Forever today. They're just so great and I forget about them for years at a time.

I also listened to Pere Ubu's new one, Why I Hate Women. They're holding steady--it's a totally good record, though nothing out of the ordinary for them.

[Little Man being Erased]

I'm gonna rummage through every record store in Brisbane until I find The Glasgow School when I go down there next week. I need it so bad.

[br3ad_man]

I don't understand the obsession with downloading leaks. Am I weird for preferring to wait to buy albums when they are properly released?

Anyway;

Laura - Radio Swan is Down
Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On
The Magnetic Fields - i
Isis - Oceanic

[Zmev]

Mahavishnu Orchastra - Birds of Fire
Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs
Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain

[Little Man being Erased]

I've never downloaded a leak. And I definitely prefer to wait for an album's proper release.

[pixiesfanyo]

FAgs

[mr_jackalope]

Leaks are awesome. They allow me to decide if I should go out and buy an obscuro record on the first day of release in order to look cool in front of all my friends.

They're impatient.

[Eliminator]

it's not like i would even buy most of the albums leaked

[sr800bkBassist]

Anyway;

Laura - Radio Swan is Down
Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On
The Magnetic Fields - i
Isis - Oceanic

the music is the same on the final release and the leak. so why not hear it early? i see no reason to wait longer to hear something i want to hear when it's right there for me. and plus, what if you don't like it? if you bought it before hearing the leak, $10-$15 just went down the drain.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, seriously, that's the only reason I'd download a leak.

[Zmev]

Mahavishnu Orchestra - Visions of the Emerald Beyond

[sexymuffin]

Isis - Oceanic

I love that album

[Zappa]

Cybotron - Clear

Electroooooo

[Zebra]

Yusef Lateef - Eastern Sounds

I'm listening to this for the second time and it's amazing.

[Kayetan]

I listened to Interpol this morning for the first time in awhile. I dug it.

It often isn't the same. And it seems disrespectful to the artist to me.

I'm digging the new Youth Group album. My friend lent it to me and "Daisychains" and "Sorry" are such good songs.

[pixiesfanyo]

boo, unstickied.

[YDload]

boo, unstickied.

popular threads dont need to be sticked, this baby will be posted in FOREVER

and obviously the joke thread will be quietly unstickied too, eventually

but im wondering if the old Featured Artist thing should be unstickied. hey bread what do you say?

[asymm]

I liked looking for this in the same place everyday. Now it will move up and down.

Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones
Tindersticks - Tindersticks
Terry Riley - A Rainbow in Curved Air
Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Abbatoir Blues / Lyre of Orpheus

[Little Man being Erased]

Plus this thread should be stickied because it's THE BEST.

[br3ad_man]

but im wondering if the old Featured Artist thing should be unstickied. hey bread what do you say?

It's up to you man. It's pretty old, probably doesn't need to be there anymore. Anyone who was going to read it would have read it by now.

PS This thread should be stickied.

[Zmev]

this thread 4 sticky

[mr_jackalope]

Sticky sticky sticky.

Beat Happening - You Turn Me On

[JonM]

I say re-sticky.

I'm digging all kinds of terrible rap.

Disco Inferno - DI Go Pop
Meat Puppets - s/t
Television - Adventure
