What I've Been Digging Lately

[JonM]

I love that damn band.

[Little Man being Erased]

Still diggin' on Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. I'm getting into it more and more with each listen and I can feel it starting to grab me.

[Luxor]

Raekwon
GZA
Ghostface

[Interstate]

Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land
Missy Elliott

[Zmev]

16 Horsepower - Folklure

Everyone needs to hear this. Great alt country

[Eliminator]

The Killers - Sam's Town
Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm listening to The Juliet Letters by Elvis Costello and the Brodsky Quartet. It's very smooth, but it's not drawing me in for whatever reason. It's come highly recommended though, so I'll give it some time.

[Bukowski]

Flipper
Sunburned Hand of the Man
Black Dice

[sr800bkBassist]

brainiac- hissing prigs in static couture

mmmmm haven't heard this in months.

[YDload]

hey sr800bk you were right about how much Lou Barlow's bass chords rule in YLAOM. i figured out how to play the ones from "In A Jar" but there's lots more to try too :)

[sr800bkBassist]

hey sr800bk you were right about how much Lou Barlow's bass chords rule in YLAOM. i figured out how to play the ones from "In A Jar" but there's lots more to try too :)

yeah i want to see them live again. seeing him actually playing all that stuff was a great moment in my life.


anyway, my friend burned me a mix. so far i'm really liking the stuff she put on it. some Broadcast, Ilya, Boards of Canada, Sneaker Pimps, Telefon Tel Aviv, and some other stuff. i'm gonna have to look further into these bands.

[mr_jackalope]

Broadcast's Tender Buttons was one of the better releases of last year.

[ATM]

Yea, that's a nice album.

[asymm]

I've had Boys and Girls in America by the Hold Steady on repeat all day.

[br3ad_man]

I listened to Alligator for most of yesterday as well. Such a great record.

[mr_jackalope]

I've had Boys and Girls in America by the Hold Steady on repeat all day.

I haven't even bothered to write that one in here. I've listened to it about 10 times since Monday.

[metalicajaymz]

Whiskeytown - Pneumonia

haven't listened yet but I just got it, because I heard one of their other tracks ("Choked Up") and became interested immediately. Seriously, you guys should get that song. It's one of those really catchy, kind of sad/nostalgic/bittersweet songs that everybody likes because it makes them feel good, even though it's only a slightly happy song.

that was a terrible description but you'll know what I mean if you hear it. This should have been a really big hit.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, Whiskeytown are pretty great. It's actually quite embarrassing that I don't have any of their albums, considering my Ryan Adams fanboy-ish qualities.

[Sexpistol]

Despite some of the members here feelings towards The Killers, I've been listening to their latest album.

The Strokes - First Impression Of Earth

& recently a bit of Eve 6.

[Zmev]

New Hold Steady is pretty good.

[br3ad_man]

I heard some of that new Killers album in the record store tonight and it sounded decent.

[Happymeal]

Listening to some leaked Deftones songs I got yesterday. "Beware" is pretty tight.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Our Lady Peace - Happiness Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch
Gustav Holst - The Planets
Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction

[Bartender]

And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead - Source Tags & Codes

First listen. I like the drums.

Amos Lee - Amos Lee

Not so much first listen, because this is excellent. Only one song (of eleven) even approaches mediocre.

[Interstate]

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - The Platinum & Gold Collection
EPMD - Business As Usual

Strictly old skool day today.

[pixiesfanyo]

Off Minor

Best hardcore band ever.

[el doctor]

Bob Dylan - Blood on the Tracks

I love Dylan, but this album really never struck me as anythign extraordinary. It's certainly better than most of his post-Nashville Skyline work, but it still pales in comparison to his 60s efforts.

The Decemberists - The Crane Wife

I'm really liking this so far. I love their typical eccentric, jangly pop tales, but after 3 albums of much fo the same, a change like this is certainly welcome.

[Dave de Sylvia]

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - The Platinum & Gold Collection
EPMD - Business As Usual

Strictly old skool day today.
That skool never gets old :mad:

[Interstate]

That skool never gets old :mad:


:p

Finished listening to a couple of albums that I haven't heard for years just now. Very nostalgic:

Iron Maiden - Brave New World
Deep Purple - Greatest Hits

[metalicajaymz]

Ryan Adams - Cold Roses

still awesome. Reminds me of a more plaintive Calexico or something. I can't even listen to the new Trail of Dead because this keeps distracting me.

[EightMilesHigh]

Franz Ferdinand - S/T

Possibly my favorite modern rock band as of this very second.

Of course, the album can't compare with seeing them live, which was amazing.

DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - The Platinum & Gold Collection

I haven't listened to them in forever. My birthday is coming up.....

[Dave de Sylvia]

Ryan Adams - Cold Roses

still awesome. Reminds me of a more plaintive Calexico or something. I can't even listen to the new Trail of Dead because this keeps distracting me.
Blessing in disguise if you ask me.

Motley Crue - Generation Swine

Actually, why would you ask me?

[metalicajaymz]

I would never ask you, because Trail of Dead is one of the best bands currently operating!

even Worlds Apart was awesome despite how much crap it got for not being an exact Source Tags replica.

[Little Man being Erased]

Worlds Apart was a real grower. I love it. Maybe as much as Source Tags and Codes. I really want to hear the new album but I'm not sure if I should buy it. Maybe a download is required.

[Robert Crumb]

Honeycut - The Day I Turned to Glass

If you were one of those pasty trip-hop kids who was all like, "wtf Shadow!" this might appeal. Really cool mellow alt soul/pop/electronic stuff from his imprint. Big Shuggie Otis influence, really ****ing good arrangments, white boy melodicism filtered through some pretty nice grooves. Me likey.

[Little Man being Erased]

Deerhoof - Apple O'

Not sure what to think of this yet. The high-pitched girl vocals kind of took me by surprise, but I got used to it. I expected it to be more punk-y than it was too.

[YDload]

And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead - Source Tags & Codes

First listen. I like the drums.

yeah the drums are crazy, especially those machine-gun snare bursts in "How Near How Far" and the tuned tom hits in the intro to "Heart In the Hand of the Matter."

and what's really cool is that both the main songwriters switch drums whenever the other is playing guitar/singing

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah it's pretty cool to see them do it live.

[asymm]

Grizzly Bear - Yellow House

I first listened to this as a leak in August - then I preordered it on vinyl. Then the vinyl was delayed so I'm just listening to it again, one month later, today. Gorgeous sleeve/record.

[Dog]

brainiac- hissing prigs in static couture

mmmmm haven't heard this in months.
hah, i was just listening to this a couple of days ago. fun listen.

The Embarrassment - Heyday
Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

might put Lupe Fiasco on later, depending.

[metalicajaymz]

I was listening to Heyday today too. Good stuff. "Patio Set" is pretty tight.

[Matt OH!]

smashing pumpkins - gish.

really like this album. theres just sorta something about it. not sure how to describe it

[pixiesfanyo]

Converge - No Heroes

uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh god

[metalicajaymz]

explain please

also can I have it

[Jacaranda]

Yeah it's pretty cool to see them do it live.
When did you see them?

[pixiesfanyo]

ya know tony, probably the second best release of the year.

[metalicajaymz]

what's the best

need I ask, I needn't

[Matt OH!]

isis? pffffffft

[sexymuffin]

chad vangaalen - infiniheart

converge - jane doe

ampere - all our tomorrows end today

city of caterpillar - city of caterpillar

[sexymuffin]

converge \m/ h5s and circle jerks all around

[pixiesfanyo]

uh Kayo Dot is the best.

duh?

[Interstate]

Showbiz & AG - Runaway Slave
GZA - Liquid Swords
Mos Def & Talib Kweli - Blackstar

Oh yes.

[br3ad_man]

I can't wait to get the new Converge. That and Isis are the ones I have to get this month.

[Kyle]

My Last FM hasn't logged anything for about a week, anybody else getting this?

[EightMilesHigh]

Belle & Sebastian - If You're Feeling Sinister

i do enjoy my belle & sebastian.

[Kyle]

I bet you aren't logged in.I am.

And I don't even think that effects whether or not your tracks are recorded. :confused:

[Eliminator]

um yeah it does

do you have the plugin installed and/or running

sometimes you have to go in and re-check it, with wmp

[EightMilesHigh]

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing

[Luxor]

Converge - No Heroes
Raekwon - Only Builf 4 Cubin Linx

[Dave de Sylvia]

I've been digging some Vandals, GNR, Youssou N'Dour and Skid Row today. I also got that Plague Songs CD as well, the one with Scott Walker, Rufus Wainwright, Imogen Heap et al. each having wrote a song about one of the plagues of Egytp. Would anyone be interested in it for the mailing list?

[anticipatious_phoenix]

I have been all over Lovage, Tomahawk, Lords of Acid and Zodiac Mindwarp.

I love Mike Patton.

Lovage-Book of the Month, Sex (I'm A)
Tomahawk-Birdsong, Rape This Day

Kind of like Rob Zombie before there was a Rob Zombie.

Zodiac Mindwarp-Backseat Education

I could do it to this song.

Lords of Acid-I Sit On Acid

[Eliminator]

Kind of like Rob Zombie before there was a Rob Zombie.

White Zombie?

[sr800bkBassist]

My Last FM hasn't logged anything for about a week, anybody else getting this?

same here! except it's been 2 weeks for me.

[pixiesfanyo]

Rob Zombie has been around since like 1980

[Tangy zizzle]

Rob Zombie's a good filmmaker and that's about it.

Jakob
Can - Monster Movie
Wires on Fire - Wires on Fire (the (real) good definately outweighs the bad)
Boss - Darkness At the Edge of Town

[Bukowski]

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory

Dr. Octagon - Dr. Octagonecologyst
Eluvium - An Accidental Memory in the Case of Death

[PECOAE]

I thought that would catch your eye.

Really, it isn't that bad.

The first few songs are great (Winner's Blues, Bull in the Heather, Starfield Road)

[Eliminator]

Yeah, and that's about it.

[ATM]

Black Moth Super Rainbow - Lost, Picking Flowers In The Woods



How is that? I really like that song I Am the Alphabet.

[Robert Crumb]

Sebadoh. I want to form a band just to record a Motown version of "The Freed Pig." Not sure how that would work, but song is asking for it so bad.

[el doctor]

As much as I like III, almost everything is a let down after "The Freed Pig".

Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies
eels - Blinking Lights and Other Revelations

[Eliminator]

Sun Ra - Atlantis

The only good song is the last one, but it's interesting at least.

[el doctor]

I thank "Teardrop" for making me watch House. If it wasn't for that, I would've thought, meh, crappy doctor show, let me change the channel.

[Robert Crumb]

As much as I like III, almost everything is a let down after "The Freed Pig".

Music as a whole has been a let down after hearing "The Freed Pig."

Ok, maybe not. But song is definitely one of my favorites ever. Also speaking of let downs, I listened to Destroy All Monsters for the first time last night. Pretty disappointing.

[Zappa]

"Freed Pig" is really amazing. I'm very fond of "Truly Greath" thing, however. That song is just as good, at least.

[Eliminator]

i'm lissning to Exile in Guyville right now

it's sweet

[pixiesfanyo]

Angora Static - Angora Static

[Neoteric]

Yeah, and that's about it.

I like Quest for the Cup and Waist, that's about it.

[Eliminator]

noe

[Robert Crumb]

"Semi-multicoloured Caucasian." Repeat, repeat.

[PECOAE]

Quest for the Cup = semi-okay.
Waist = okay.

[Eliminator]

yep

[PECOAE]

I've only heard Fab Four Suture.

But I'm digging that nowadays.

Electrelane you say...

[EightMilesHigh]

David Gilmour - S/T

[Bukowski]

Negativland - Escape from Noise
Big Black - Rich Man's 8-Track Tape
Royal Trux - Cats and Dogs

[Neoteric]

So yeah, I just listened to Gatsby's American Dream, it's very good pop-punk.

[Zebra]

Tortoise - TNT

After listening to this for the first time in quite some time I think it's my favorite post-rock album of all time.

[Kurtz]

The Blood Brothers - Burn Piano Island, Burn
The Rolling Stones - Exile on Main Street
OK Go - OK Go

[Minus The Flair]

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West

It's been too long.

[pixiesfanyo]

Ephel Duath - The Painter's Palette

[beso negro]

Alicia Keys - Songs in A minor

[br3ad_man]

The Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray

"Rudderless" is about one of the best pop songs ever.

[Happymeal]

I'm really loving the new Melvins. This is in my top 10 of 06' for sure. Also listening to the new Blood Brothers but I don't know what to make of that one.

[br3ad_man]

I like the new BB video. It is cool stuff.

[sexymuffin]

Ephel Duath - The Painter's Palette

that album is so damn good

[pixiesfanyo]

that album is so damn good

It's okay, I give it a 3.5/5

[br3ad_man]

The first song is the best one.

[sexymuffin]

It's okay, I give it a 3.5/5

you would, wouldn't you

[pixiesfanyo]

you would, wouldn't you

Yes? That's why I said I'd give it a 3.5/5.

Dumb.

Say Anything - Is A Real Boy

[br3ad_man]

Luxury - Health and Sport

One of the best albums of 2005.

[Zmev]

Getting my ipod back after 2 months

[br3ad_man]

I dig the new Blood Brothers so far. 7 tracks in and it's seeming just as a catchy as Crimes and heavier and more spastic in parts and then more poppy than Crimes in other parts. Basically, so far it seems like the best parts of Crimes and BPIP in one.

[AlienEater]

I'm digging Painful by Yo La Tengo. Not thier best, but awesome.

[Zmev]

Q and not U - No Kill Beep Beep Beep

[br3ad_man]

Black Mountain - Black Mountain

[pixiesfanyo]

Pajo - Pajo

[asdf]

Husker Du - Zen Arcade. Or at least I was last night.

[ATM]

Wierd Al - Straight Outta Lynwood

Oh man, I used to listen to him so much back in the day.

[Bartender]

I also got that Plague Songs CD as well, the one with Scott Walker, Rufus Wainwright, Imogen Heap et al. each having wrote a song about one of the plagues of Egytp. Would anyone be interested in it for the mailing list?

I'd quite like to hear it. I'm not on any mailing lists, though.


Nonpoint - Statement

Pretty much the only nu metal album I still think is really good and listen to on a semi-regular basis. I enjoy the music as well as the vocals and lyrics and everything, and there isn't a lack of variety. It's remarkable. The last track (a dual-vocalist, nu metal-backed mash-up of "A Children's Story", "Woo-Hah!! Got You All In Check" and "Method Man") is a lot of fun, though I don't know what more devoted hip hop fans might think. Would've liked to write a review of it sometime.

Buckcherry - "Whiskey in the Morning"

Used to listen to this song for (literally) hours on repeat, and lately it's been enjoying a bit of a resurgence. Never went so far as to buy an album of theirs though, for some reason.

Herman's Hermits - "No Milk Today"

Has just quickly become one of my favourite songs. Really very good.

Also, Jim Breuer's version of Denis Leary's "Asshole", having finally found it, and Amos Lee, still.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'd quite like to hear it. I'm not on any mailing lists, though.
I'll email it to you when it's up.

Buckcherry - "Whiskey in the Morning"

Used to listen to this song for (literally) hours on repeat, and lately it's been enjoying a bit of a resurgence. Never went so far as to buy an album of theirs though, for some reason.
Their latest album is great, but the other two are patchy. 'Whiskey' is on Time Bomb, which is the better of the two.

[sr800bkBassist]

Kylesa- "To Walk a Middle Course"

so rad.

[Robert Crumb]

John Cale. I love his bubbly little pop songs. Since Tower Record is liquidating, I might go see if I can get anything on the cheap, perhaps more John Cale. I know one of the stores has all the Certain Ratio albums. That might be interesting. I know they're a big horrible chain for most people, but in my town (where the company started) they're a ****ing institution. Pretty disappointing.

I've been on a My Morning Jacket kick lately. I like both Z and Okonokos. Off The Record is an awesome song (and on both Z and Okonokos - how handy!) I like Okonokos better for it's energy - Being live the crowd both helps and hurts the recording, but overall I think the band really feeds off it and it shows!

Genius/GZA - Liquid Swords
Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me
Minutemen - Double Nickles on the Dime
The Rapture - Echoes
Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy

Echoes is so good. A lot better than I expected.

[el doctor]

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy
That album was so overlooked considering just how great it is. "A Glow" is such a painfully classic closer.

The Red Paintings are horrible.


That album was so overlooked considering just how great it is. "A Glow" is such a painfully classic closer.
Yeah it's a really great album. I have Down the River of Golden Dreams as well, but haven't listened to it yet.

Digging Convict Pool by Calexico tonight. Been heavily into these guys lately, one of my favorite bands.

SOAD - Toxicity
Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt
Snow Patrol - Final Straw
Mobb Deep - The Infamous
Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

And some other stuff I can't remember.

[AlienEater]

The Speaking Canaries - Get Out Alive (The Long Version)

Awesome indie noise math rock, with Don Cab's Demon Che playing every instrument and singing. It's best when it's more melodic than math, but it's really good throughout.

[Bukowski]

^^ Sounds cool.

I'm digging Unsane just now.

[beso negro]

The Red Paintings are horrible.


What? Horrible?

I can understand if you don't like them, but their music hardly warrants a horrible.

[AlienEater]

^^ Sounds cool.

I'm digging Unsane just now.

It is cool. And Unsane are awesome, especially thier early singles.

[Little Man being Erased]

What? Horrible?

I can understand if you don't like them, but their music hardly warrants a horrible.
Maybe not quite horrible, but they sure do annoy the crap outta me.

[mr_jackalope]

Today I've listened exclusively to CDs I haven't heard:

The Gothic Archies - The Tragic Treasury (fabulous)
Shout Out Out Out Out - Not Saying / Just Saying (unimpressive)
Damien Jurado - And Now That I'm In Your Shadow (pretty good)
Jeffrey and Jack Lewis - City and Eastern Songs (another fabulous)
The Bird and the Bee - Again and Again and Again and Again (great, though it's just a single; these guys could turn into something stellar)
The Clean Prophets - Praise is Poison (fun)

Now playing: The Oxford Collapse - Remember the Night Parties

1 word review ftw

Bark Psychosis - Hex

I'm on a huge post-rock kick, this album is excellent.

[sr800bkBassist]

currently digging In on the Killtaker by Fugazi. "Facet Squared" has such an awesome riff and chorus. Wow.

yesss.

[Anxious]

1 Frank Zappa 160
2 The Fiery Furnaces 28

4 Gospel 14
5 Suicide 13

7 This Heat 12
7 Man Man 12
9 Spacemen 3 11
9 Don Caballero 11

[Robert Crumb]

The stuff I said I would be digging. Mostly Yusef Lateef. His version of "First Gymnopaedia" is really pretty. I also listened to some of Killer Mike's new album thing which though not quite as pretty, is really cool.

[Zmev]

Say Anything - ...Is a Real Boy

First 2 songs are eh but it picks up

[br3ad_man]

currently digging In on the Killtaker by Fugazi. "Facet Squared" has such an awesome riff and chorus. Wow.

That's my favourite Fugazi album. I probably listen to "Facet Squared" at least once a week. "Public Witness Program" is almost as good, especially the bit with the handclaps. They somehow make them sound really sinister.

Bark Psychosis - Hex

\m/ i <3 Bark Psychosis


anyways, chad vangaalen just put me to sleep today. some of his stuff is so soothing.

[Zmev]

The Chameleons - Strange Times

Yeah this owns

[Interstate]

Nas - Illmatic

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
I Heart Hiroshima - Cut In Colour
This Is A Process Of A Still Life - This Is A Process Of A Still Life
Subtle - For Hero: For Fool
+/- - Self Titled Long Playing Debut Album

Nas - Illmatic

That too.

[asymm]

Subtle - For Hero: For Fool

Yup, this. Just getting going with it, but musically, it's much more rock than I anticipated. It barely has a foot in hip-hop.

Last night as I was writing about eschatology,
Brian Eno/Harold Budd - The Pearl
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One

[mr_jackalope]

I would think REM's Document would be more fitting.



Get it?

[Luxor]

Nas - Illmatic

Don't forget Stillmatic and It Was Written, among others.

[Kyle]

the Most Serene Republic - Phages

I'm loving this, it's fantastic.

[asymm]

I would think REM's d0cument would be more fitting.



Get it?
Oh God, lame music jokes.

Welcome to the alt/indie forum, is it your first time?

Asymm's first time was most def. paid for.

Converge
Decemberists

[3rdplanet]

Have been listening to the ISIS & Aereogramme Split/Colab, In The Fishtank, which is pretty much ISIS with much better vocals so I'm liking it.

[br3ad_man]

The Arcade Fire
Luxury
Neil Young

[bmxrunner]

Joe Jackson and Built To Spill

[Dave de Sylvia]

Yes.

Also Joe Jackson is cool.

Also I like Sign O' The Times more every time I hear it. Having heard it about 5007 times... what's that in metric units? I'm also enjoying Rufus Wainwright's self-titled more than I used to, despite Jon Brion's questionable contribution.

[sr800bkBassist]

Nouvelle Vague

their covers of "Love Will Tear us Apart" and "Too Drunk to ****" are sooo amazing. so is everything else by them.

[YDload]

"King of Pain" and "Every Breath You Take" are good tunes. Even "Mother" is cool. Do I need Synchronicity?

one of the best thread titles i ever read on SA was "Eazy-E got AIDS from ****ing The Police"

[Dave de Sylvia]

You and your dirty mind. And your Dirty Mind. 1999 is better than the lot so ha.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I should try Dirty Mind again then. Speaking of SOTT though, am I the last person to figure out where Pharrell nicked the Hollaback Girl beat from?

[Tangy zizzle]

Nope. I couldn't care less where he stole it from, so yeaaahhh..

The Demi-whores
Icarus Line - Mono
Melvins - Electroretard

[Dave de Sylvia]

It probably sounds backwards down under.

[Tangy zizzle]

Um, care to enlighten me? Don't work well with subtlety, I'm more of a hamfist dig?

[mr_jackalope]

Oh God, lame music jokes.

:wave: They're basically why YDload was put on this earth.

I'm listening to that four disc set Factory Records put out to prevent themselves from going unders like a decade ago, Palatine. It failed, but it's awesome still.

[Little Man being Erased]

Spoon - Girls Can Tell
Magazine - Real Life
Magazine - The Correct Use of Soap

The Correct Use of Soap is so good. I probably like it more than Real Life, actually. Which is saying something, because Real Life is awesome.

[Zebra]

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

Almost as good as Laughing Stock.

[mr_jackalope]

The Oxford Collapse - Remember the Night Parties

My second time through this album and I like it a whole heluva lot. Anyone know anything about these guys? Any other good albums?

[pixiesfanyo]

Talk Talk - Spirit of Eden

Almost as good as Laughing Stock.

Spirit of Eden sucks in my opinion.

[asymm]

Yessss! Just picked it up today:

Robert Pollard - Normal Happiness

[Happymeal]

^Isn't that his second album this year?? I'm not even done listening to From a Compound Eye. That boy's been busy.

[FUnkarockadrummer]

Destroyer - Destroyer's Rubies
King Crimson - Lark's Tongues in Aspic

[Robert Crumb]

Killer Mike - I Pledge Allegiance to the Grind

His 2-cd album bootleg thingie. Pretty cool, negative points for using a "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch" sample. Or maybe... bonus points. Good MC.

[Zmev]

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Yes.

[perriwinkle]

Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030

Yes.

yeaaaaaaaaaaa sonnnnnn

livin in a post-apocalyptic world morbid and horrid the secrets of the past they hoarded, now we just boarded on a futuristic spacecraft, no mistakes black its our music we must take back!

yo its three thousand thirty
i want yall to meet deltron zero
and automata


you like good hip hop listen to the song in the first post of this page its by Astronautalis. you should order his cds. luckily the cd shop in my town had two of his cds (:confused:) of course, i bought both of them, and regret it very rarely. wait, no i never regret it.

[br3ad_man]

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations

Excluding "Starlight", this is pretty sucky.

[Zmev]

and automata

Dude, hes doing the soundtrack for Nba 2k7. And hes from SF :cool:

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Miranda July - 10 Million Hours A Mile

This is really odd/funny.
I love Miranda July.

[ATM]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTU2He2BIc0

hahah

[The Jungler]

I've been listening to Sigur Ros's Agaetis Byrjun a whole lot lately. Fantastic CD.

[mr_jackalope]

I'm considering taking back a lot of what I've previously said about Destroyer. Turns out, these guys are pretty decent on third or so listen. I've listened to Rubies, Notorious Lightning and Other Works, and now Streethawk: A Seduction today and sort of see what everyone was talking about. But not quite.

[PECOAE]

I've only heard Rubies and his New Pornographers stuff but I really like it.

[mr_jackalope]

Thing is, I can't stand the P0rnos, but this stuff is pretty cool. I like the EP he did with Frog Eyes a lot.

[BillCosby]

went to Amoeba in San Fran yesterday and got

Pharrell - In My Mind
meh

Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die
sweet

they were cheap though

[Dave de Sylvia]

Pharrell - In My Mind
meh
It's an abhorration.

And that word's not part of my lexicon.

[ATM]

Yea, it blows.

[EightMilesHigh]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTU2He2BIc0

[Tangy zizzle]

[pixiesfanyo]

Brian Eno and David Bryne - My Life In The Bush of Ghosts

[Robert Crumb]

Television.

[Little Man being Erased]

Electrelane - The Power Out
Okkervil River - Down the River of Golden Dreams

[Zebra]

Sparkelhorse - Vivadixiessubmarinetransmissionplot

I never realized why this band received so little recognition. This album is fantastic.

[mr_jackalope]

Sparklehorse is utterly fantastic. Good Morning Spider is one of my favorite albums.

[mr_jackalope]

Their new one is sort of weak though. Guy basically needed money to cover his heroin addiction, so it's understandable, but still.

[Zebra]

Yeah, their new album is a bunch of re-hashed ideas from their eariler works, but it's still pretty good stuff.

[pixiesfanyo]

Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist

[AlienEater]

Made Out Of Babies - Coward

[Happymeal]

"Beware" would've been a better choice for a first single.

[Robert Crumb]

Man, leaks. I can't even keep up.

Listened to Richard & Linda Thompson's I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight today while I did stuff. Never really saw much in the album (aside from the awesomeness that is the title track) until today. Very pleasing listen.

[Happymeal]

Hot Water Music - Caution

Haven't played this in a while. I never really appreciated most of their earlier material but this one hits the spot.

[mr_jackalope]

I'm listening to The Oxford Collapse's Remember the Night Parties again because this is definitely one of the better rock records I've heard this year.

[Eliminator]

The Skatalites - Foundation Ska

[Robert Crumb]

Ying Yang Twins' "Dangerous."

Um. Song's pretty awesome. Features Wyclef. Has this been playing on the radio? I guess it's been on the net for like a month. Should pay more attention.

[mr_jackalope]

Most recently:

British Sea Power - Open Season: still not as good as the debut, but oh well
Joy Division - Closer: haven't listened to this one in an extremely long time; I think I'm gonna be on a JD kick for a while now

[Little Man being Erased]

XTC - Drums and Wires
The Rapture - Echoes
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True

[EightMilesHigh]

Echo & The Bunnymen - Heaven Up Here

Good post punk, if you like the cure you might like them. bits of psychedelia in there too.

[mr_jackalope]

I'm a huge Echo fan, personally. Ocean Rain is one of the better albums I've heard.

[Zebra]

Jandek - Ready For the House

I'm listening to this for the first time and I'm not sure what to think. This is probably the strangest singer/songwriter album that I've ever listened to.

[ripest]

Yukon - Furnaces

jesus christ this album is good, and i cant find anything else by them or about them as hard as i try
