What I've Been Digging Lately

[Tangy zizzle]

No I havn't. They seem dramatic and Fat Bob seems so self loathing.

I have "Boys Don't Cry" on vinyl, and it's pretty woeful

[br3ad_man]

You need to hear "Disintegration". Robert Smith defintiely scares me though. The only song I've heard off Boys Dont Cry is the title track but it rules.

[Iai]

The Cure are so popular because they're a pop band. But their image makes it okay for the indie kids to love them.

Lemons.

[Iai]

^I was half kidding with that post, by the way.

[Tapeworm]

I love The Cure. In my top 5 bands ever.

[Zappa]

"Boys Don't Cry" is my least favorite Cure record. I like it even less than "Bloodflowers!"

[Tomahawk]

Yeah it's pretty melodramatic, but it doesn't really bother me with them.

Honestly, Disintegration is pretty essential. If you're interested at all, check out the song Fascination Street.

And since this threads gone off track a bit: right now I'm digging De La Soul, because I just heard The Grind Date on the radio.

My friend told me to listen to De La Soul and they really were a worth the time, The Grind Date is quite nice.

[Interstate]

The Killers 'Hot Fuss' and The Futureheads 'The Futureheads'

[Tangy zizzle]

De La Soul are awesome. Such a fun band, but they have substance aswell.

[Luxor]

Right now I'm listening to the "Summers Kiss EP", by Dashboard.

/Embarrassed.

Duncan Sheik - Phantom Moon

[Iai]

I was listening to Handsome Boy Modelling School.

Now I'm gonna check out the Sonic Youth album sr800bk's sending to me. (Daydream Nation) Feedback tomorrow.

[Zappa]

Ew, I don't like that album.

[Tomahawk]

Right now I'm listening to the Happy Mondays, because I was playing GTA:SA, and Shaun Ryder does the voice for a character in it, and he's ****ing great, so I decided to listen to Pills Thrills and Bellyaches. The end.

[Tangy zizzle]

The Fall have been getting a lil play.

[LiLbacon3]

As of late, I've been switching genres randomly with my mood. I'm feeling that emo void which much be filled by the perfect album for the moment. Been writing some lyrics/poetry that I'm quite happy with too. g/f and stress from school are helping that along.

Benton Falls
Lewis
Mars Volta
Dispatch
ATD-I
Sparta
The String Quartet
Lindsey Pool
Rilo Kiley
Justin King
(Relaxation/meditation nature sounds)
Justin king
Cursive
Built to Spill
(live jazz)

I suppose I'm trying to mix styles w/feelings and other styles. See if I can get creative in any way possible. I'm trying to find out what I want to do with my life (picking a major, girlfriend, life...). Plenty of things are being pondered right now. I'm looking for the right musical influences to alter my situation and decisions positively, or at least how they should affect me. Kinda deep. IM me and we can talk. It'll be wholesome and worth while.

[Tangy zizzle]

Looks pretty straight forward to me...

[manuscriptreplica]

I've been cranking Lightning Bolt lately, they're a big band

[Tangy zizzle]

^ Ha! That's actually funny if you think about it.

But they do kick entirely too much anus.

[manuscriptreplica]

?

Yeah they're great, I downloaded a mp3 of Cedric Bixler being interviewed, and he said Lightning Bolt are one of his favourite bands :cool:

[Tangy zizzle]

That's strange, he and Omar always seem to be bitching about heavy bands.

Weird little spic men those 2.

[manuscriptreplica]

They are quite the pair

Can I say Carcass in here, or what

And I finally obtained Mezzanine, thanks to Bartender's recommendation, I will let you know what I think shortly!

[br3ad_man]

^^^
Mezzanine is a good album and Lightning Bolt are pretty wicked as well.
Right now I'm listening to the "Summers Kiss EP", by Dashboard.

/Embarrassed.

...and you (will know us by the trail of dead) laughed at me for liking Something Corporate. :smash:

Today we had a conservatorium jazz group vist the school. They played like 6 originals and "Straight Street". So I was digging them. Other than that I've been listening to:

Elbow
Nine Inch Nails
Beach Boys
Bob Dylan
CSNY

Iai: Enjoy Daydream Nation, 'tis very good.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yes. This is the most "metal" \m/ thread in the whole of MX.

[br3ad_man]

\m/

[Tangy zizzle]

Lightning Bolt > Mastodon.

[br3ad_man]

hmmm *strokes chin*

[Tangy zizzle]

Listening to Duel in The Deep through a decent pair o' muffs is a trip man.

[enjoy_cai]

ivy - guestroom

get the album now!

[Happymeal]

The Mass puts the "bang" in Bangkok.

[crazydrummerdude]

i've been listening to biffy clyro's infinity land, neil young's harvest, radiohead stuff, bill withers..i know weird choice, but i'm really into his style

[Bartender]

I know I said a few weeks ago that The Levellers were my new record for taking a long time to check out a band - just over two years - but I found a new winner already. The Cocteau Twins.

I remember back in February 2002, literally just when I'd joined, posting in an R&M thread about electronica/great female singers, I think. This thread (thanks to Orb and a couple of others who have long since left) got me into Massive Attack (via Teardrop) and Bjork, and recommended the Cocteau Twins (again, somewhat via Teardrop, when I reported back that I knew and loved it). Here I am, November 2004, having just bought my first Cocteau Twins album. 32 months to check someone out is pathetic :(

Anyway, I think I'm falling in love with Liz Fraser's voice. That's the only real point of this post.

[vayanrd_01]

Okay, my ex-girlfriend made me this cd a looong time ago and I need to know who sings this one song that goes kinda like this:

I wanted to see birds
So you took me to the sea
I felt like I could fly against the sky you showed to be
Airplanes passed above us
So only I could hear
When you whispered 'I love you'
So softly in my ear
These are the best days
These are the best days

...so on and so forth
it is a chick singing too

Oh, and so i'm not completely irrelevant, These Arms are Snakes are a really good band, check out Criteria if you like them.

[Tomahawk]

^Google tells me that it's "The Best Days" by the Softies.

[vayanrd_01]

huh...i couldn't find it but thanks a lot

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Lightning Bolt > Mastodon.

Lightning Bolt is the Bee's Knees man, ive found a lot of their sounds to be similar to Brainiac's really out there stuff.

[YDload]

Tangy, is that Josh Homme in your avatar?

[asymm]

Recently...

Death From Above 1979
Frog Eyes
Red House Painters (they almost never leave my rotation though...)
Boards of Canada

[Luxor]

Prefuse 73
Weezer
The Circulatory System
The Pixies

[Zappa]

Lately I've constantly been listening to:

Eric Dolphy
Bill Evans
Charles Mingus
Rahsaan Roland Kirk
Nomeansno
The Specials
Television

[Zappa]

I put on my Audioscrobbler radio station. It started playing Sonic Youth, and I was all "ick..." but now I'm actually enjoying this song that I've always hated. What's going on?

[Doctor D.]

You've grown acoustum to their sound.

[Zappa]

But it's not live I've been listening to them trying to get into it. It just happened to come up. I think it's odd.

[Tangy zizzle]

Tangy, is that Josh Homme in your avatar?

Why yes, yes it is. And wouldn't you say that's one of the sexiest ginger men you ever sawed?

[asymm]

I've been listening to Let It Be this afternoon as well... The Replacements version that is

[Dark Hero]

Meshuggah

[Iris]

The Blood Brothers

[Tangy zizzle]

Dimmer.

Holy crap!

[SalomeHigher]

Mississippi John Hurt.

[Tangy zizzle]

Lightning Bolt are the best heavy band on the planet.

Try and compete.

[Tangy zizzle]

Every time I listen to Hot Snakes I like them a little more.

They have now made it into my top 10. Awesome band.

[Iai]

I still prefer Drive Like Jehu.

I think they might have ploughed their way into my Top 40 or something. After a week of having 1 of their albums.

[Tangy zizzle]

I'm pickin up what you puttin' down. I hear ya barkin' dog.

DLJ are cool as well.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I'm totally digging The Ordinary Boys right now - so nice and energetic!

[bringiton]

i am digging the creel commission:
Check them out on www.creelcommission.com
They are a London based band, and will be massive soon!

[bringiton]

oh the song to listen to is cigarette, it is chilled out, but they also have some great up for it tunes!

[Tapeworm]

I'm diggin on Little Birdy right now. I finally got their album Big Big Love today. Crap title, crap cover art, great music.

[Zappa]

Lightning Bolt are the best heavy band on the planet.

Try and compete.

They have limited appeal, because they're based on a gimmick. Once their music sinks in, it quickly grows sour.

[Tangy zizzle]

Nah.

Their "gimmickry" is producing better music than most other bands I know. I'd take these guys over basically all metal bands.

[The Ashtray Girl]

I've never heard of these guys, introduce me.

[Tangy zizzle]

Lightning Bolt?

Haha, they may not be your style but what the hell! They are a duo - drums and bass, but they produce the densest, heaviest and craziest music ever. Really really intense but there are still some catchy tunes underneath all the insane drumming. If you don't like heavy music these guys won't change your mind, but if you do... lookout!

[asymm]

Their "gimmickry" is producing better music than most other bands I know. I'd take these guys over basically all metal bands.
I totally agree. Lightning Bolt is a terrific band defining(not necessarily starting) an entire sub-genre (Noise-Rock).

I hope that's not one of their better songs :o

Seriously though, is that really a bass? I think this band could use a little bit of melody; I'm not that much into the rhythm-only thing they've got here.

[Tangy zizzle]

Yeah they're not Iron Maiden that's for sure.

[Doctor D.]

I'm currently digging:

Handsome Boy Modeling School (Thanks Zappa)
McLusky
X
Dead Kennedys
Flaming Lips
The Jesus Lizard
Buck 65

[YDload]

Yeah they're not Iron Maiden that's for sure.

I only like bands that are Iron Maiden.

[Tangy zizzle]

Easy on tiger.

[The Ashtray Girl]

The boy's got YD taste. (didya see what I did there? :p)

[Tangy zizzle]

Haha good work.

[Zappa]

"How long have you been listening to Lightning Bolt?" is the question here. Their music is exciting for awhile, because it is different from most other things. The problem is that none of their stuff is different from everything else they've recorded. It's all this same mess of bass and drums that sounds anything but exciting once you've gotten past the initial surprise of how "wild" they are.

[yoshiman14]

i've been diggin old skool rappers like NWA kuz of that game grand theft auto san andreas. i prolly won't be listening to them for more than 2 weeks though heh.

I've been listening to Lightning Bolt for over a year actually... I see where you're coming from, but for me personally they've easily kept my attention.

[Reaganista]

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists is awesome.

[Iris]

I've been listening to Weezer avidly these past couple of days. With lines like "shes in the air, inbetween molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide", you can't go wrong.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I've really been diggin the twenty minute mastereice from Soft Machine "Moon In June". I think most of you would like them, they have a very original sound but don't get too far out there in their earlier releases. Still they require attention and repeated listenings to get. Thank god my dad got me into them.

[Happymeal]

Just got Blue Screen Life. Beautiful. *FA hint*


edit: RIPJoe, you doin' the next FA?

[biografiend]

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists is awesome.
tr00 dat. i had one of their cd's on my computer before it crashed, i really should redownload it.

[Reaganista]

tr00 dat. i had one of their cd's on my computer before it crashed, i really should redownload it.

you should redownload all of their CD's.

and then you should either go to a show or buy their CD's.

they are worthy of cash.

Dizzee Rascal

[Happymeal]

[Little Man being Erased]

Ok.....



Apart from music I have been diggin the movie "Club Dread". I love those Broken Lizard bastards.

[Tapeworm]

I'm turning into a Bobhead. I hear that I can get "Time Out Of Mind" for $5. I'm happy about that one.

[OrbDragon]

I got Worst Case Scenario by dEUS for about 10 euro the other day..."Suds & Soda" is one kickass tune...

I'm very much into Elvis Costello, The Avalanches and Cake these days.

[5am]

ive been getting into between the buried and me, Murder by death, Hank Williams Jr, the black dahlia murder, cursive.

BTBandM - Shevanel cut a flip (Hard/metalcore with very soft parts that feature great singing)
Murder By Death - Killbot 2000 (not what youd expect from the name. think pianos and stuff)
Cursive - Sink to the Beat and the martyr (catchy stuff)
Hank williams jr - Family Tradition (old/good country)
Black dahlia murder - Funeral Thirst (death metal-esque)

[Tangy zizzle]

I've been diggin' on Jon Spencer and that darn Blues Explosion. Orange is a great album. Can't wait for January!

Lightning Bolt are dope. As are Quicksand. If you like the new Sparta album but want to hear it without the "emo" undertones, check out the album Slip by Quicksand.

[Zmev]

Sneaker Pimps, becoming X is awesome.

[Tangy zizzle]

I just purchased desperate youth, blood thirsty babes. Boy howdy is it good!

I also got Yes by Morhpine. It's pure sex.

[Zappa]

Good purchases, guy.

[Tangy zizzle]

Bastard.

[Zappa]

:confused:

[br3ad_man]

Oi Zappa! I was talking to my guitar teacher yesterday (he has a wicked taste...he loves everything good, he's a big jazz head) and he was telling me how he didn't know where to start with Frank Zappa records.

I told him to get "Freak Out!", "Trout Mask Replica" and possibly "Hot Rats" in that order. Did I do the right thing?

[Zappa]

"Trout Mask Replica" is Beefheart, of course. But those are excellent albums, so I would say he'll enjoy them.

[Tangy zizzle]

TV On The Radio make me cut me hair.

In a good way.

[YDload]

TV On The Radio make me cut me hair.

In a good way.

And yet, that guitarist had the least cut hair I've seen in quite a while.

[doriangray]

here is a band you 've never heard of!


www.themansions.tv

hint: think Depeche Mode on steroids....

[YDload]

Sparta- Collapse. I'm terrible at deciphering lyrics, but reading them off the Internet while listening to the song really makes it that much more powerful. The music alone proves that these guys can still make great music without Cedric and Omar, but the lyrics are just a tiny bit saner.

[Bartender]

I just downloaded an album by a band I, until a short while ago, had never heard of, called Murder by Death, and it's really rather good.

[enjoy_cai]

hoy happy meal... meron nako :p

salamat.

what im digging now >>>mission of burma, 5678's, metric and lovage

[Shaan]

I've been diggin' the Violent Femmes- Blister in the Sun, Kiss Off, and Please do not Go. They have been to my home town in the middle of nowhere Juneau, Alaska. I didn't get to see them I will regret it for ever. I learned about them from Bright Eyes who he says he listened to them as a kid.
Wilco is a great depressing band. I've been listening to Hell is Chrome, Humming Bird, Wishful Thinking. Hell is Chrome has some of the best **** guitar licks I've ever heard. Well they aren't extremely great but it makes the song so **** great. :thumb:

[Tapeworm]

I've been digging Little Birdy and Eskimo Joe still, as I am seeing them in a couple of days. Perth really is a hotbed for great music.

Dissapear.

[Tangy zizzle]

A lot of Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. These guys have become a daily staple in my musical diet.

I cranked out Penance Soiree yesterday. That album has balls the size of Texas, I am telling you! I got a poster like 4 days ago from their gig that I went to abour 6 months ago. It also has large testicals.

Hot Water Music are my favourite modern punk band. Do you care?

[br3ad_man]

Elbow
Cooper Temple Clause
M83
The Radio Dept.

[pinkyeti]

hm, due to the Prefuse 73 and the books collaboration thread, i'm getting into both these bands now.

[Meltedfingers]

I'm still diggin' on Handsome Boy Modeling School. And I just got into Sublime. Good stuff.

I also dawned on me today just how unbelievably great both Stevie Wonder's 'Songs in The Key Of Life', and Asian Dub Foundation's 'Community Music', really are.

My best friend just told me, 'You really are quite the indie kid nowadays.' :lol:

[Tangy zizzle]

What Charlie Parker did you get?

Ornithology

[Zappa]

Is that a compilation?

[Tangy zizzle]

Yep.

[Doctor D.]

I'm digging the hell outta "White People"

I'm really REALLY in need for a TV On The Radio fix. But my freind hasn't returned it to me yet. :(

Madvillain - Madvillainy over here today...

[Happymeal]

Very late, but I picked up The Shape of Punk to Come awhile ago. I need some more feel-good cd's like this in my collection..

[Tangy zizzle]

Feel good CD's?

Unknown Pleasures by Joy Divison is the perkiest album I own.

[Iai]

Funnily enough, I was just reading about that album in the Q Icons special.

[Tangy zizzle]

I like Q.

[Doctor D.]

Well hello theya Derek. How's everthang' goin in your neck a' the woods?

Everything is goin a-ok from what I see. I gotta check on Ol' Maz Zuckermans farm...they've been hear say about a hors theif.

On the music side, I bought Rusted Root's "When I Woke" So far, it's an AMAZING album. Thank you so much badmoon. Thank you.

[biografiend]

I picked up Yes' Greatest Hits today for $7. Their keyboard dude is so neat. I think this CD will be in my computer/cd player all weekend.

[Happymeal]

I'm infatuated on Apostle of Hustle right now. Should've bought their album awhile ago..

I just finally heard Sage Francis, and he is freaking awesome.

[Tomahawk]

I heard a Sage Francis song on the radio yesterday, and it was great, I didn't catch what it was called though. I guess it was his latest single, does anybody know what it's called (or if he's even released a new song recently)?

Also, I'm digging Cocteau Twins right now, I just got Head Over Heels. I heart Elizabeth Fraser.

I got three new albums today.

Circle Takes The Square - As the Roots Undo. Igot it in the mail from the US finally, and it is absolutely ... wow.
The Avalanches - Since I Left You. I've heard it tonnes before but i got it for 14 bucks.
John Butler Trio - Sunrise Over Sea. I finally like them again, and this record is great.

[Bartender]

Circle Takes The Square - As the Roots Undo. Igot it in the mail from the US finally, and it is absolutely ... wow.

That's an incredible album. Album of the Year, for me. But then, I didn't buy many newly released albums this year.

[Shaan]

The Avalanches-Since i left you
is really great. I heard it two years ago and it is sweetly awesome/

[Tapeworm]

Yeah, CTTS is probably my album of the year, or close. I have bought a fair amount of new albums this year too.

[Shaan]

I never heard of CTTS. But am interested in what they might sound like. I don't exactly know what would be the best album this year but I don't think there is one that stands out of the many.

[asymm]

[The Ashtray Girl]

U2 for me, first album I've ever bought on day of release. :cool:

[Luxor]

RainMaker14 = Cool newb.

[The Ashtray Girl]

Seconded.

[Tangy zizzle]

He did mention the Sea & Cake...

Dude you wanna join a posse?

[Iai]

I've listened to Pinkerton 7 times through today. Seriously. I don't think I've ever done that with any album before.

[Tangy zizzle]

BAM!

Another convert. That album is incredible isn't it. It takes the total and utter pop leanings of Blue and just paints them black. Brilliance.

[Iai]

I've always thought it was a great album, but today I just immersed myself in it completely. I just couldn't get enough of it. It was strange.

[Tangy zizzle]

Could be your uh, situation. ??

It's a bloody brilliant album. It's really quite cathartic.

[Iai]

It is really cathartic, you're right. It amazes me how stunningly its hit the nail on the head, emotionally - it's actually pretty child-like; lyrically, the way things are expressed; but it gets straight to the heart of things. And there's so much emotional confusion and frustration in there, too. It's like puberty set to music.

It's partly my situation, partly the fact that we discussed Madame Butterfly in Music, and partly because of some stuff I went through last year it also reminds me of. It wasn't like, revelling in pain though. I found it pretty uplifting. Like you said, cathartic.

[Tangy zizzle]

It is lyrically simple isn't it. Take Butterfly for instance, such a basic song with almost juvenile lyrics, but it works. It works so so well.

Across The Sea is another totally basic song, but it happens to be the best (IMO) on the disc.

Man I love Pinkerton.

[Iai]

My faves are Getchoo, Pink Triangle, and El Scorcho.

El Scorcho especially, just for the references to Public Enemy and ECW.

[Tangy zizzle]

Extreme Championship Wrestling?

[songster]

Here's what I've been digging lately:
Off of the new Cake album: Wheels and She'll Hang the Baskets
Off of the new Le Tigre album: Seconds, Don't Drink Poison and TKO
Off of Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth: Teenage Riot and Candles

[Iai]

Extreme Championship Wrestling?
Yeah.

"Watching Grunge leg-drop New Jack through a press table..."

[Zappa]

Rubber Soul by the Beatles. "Norwegian Wood" is a song I like a lot. Don't you?

[Happymeal]

Getting a Murder City Devils album. I like the song Dancin' Shoes.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Rubber Soul by the Beatles. "Norwegian Wood" is a song I like a lot. Don't you?

yes.

[YDload]

I saw the Shortlist awards presentation on MTV2. They showed the video for "Starin' At the Sun," and I thought it was actually kind of weak. But then when TV On the Radio played it live, the song was so much more energetic. Is that accurate? I mean, the first time I ever heard the song is when they performed it live on "Last Call," so I might be a bit biased to that version.

[Well_Respected_Man]

Gong.

[cpaulsen20]

I've been listening to Vetiver, a great track would be angels' share. Also just bought Urban Hymns by The Verve. Great album. Also Cornelis Vreeswijk Guldkorn, favorite track being Turistens klagan.

Oh, first post, btw.

[manuscriptreplica]

Ahh the best Beatles album :thumb:

I found my Kyuss CD, so I'm playing that now

[Robert Crumb]

Half Japanese. U.S. Teens are Spoiled Bums.

[Zappa]

I finally obeyed the hype and downloaded "Funeral" by The Arcade Fire. I would say that I certainly like it.

[Reaganista]

good choice.

[Zappa]

This music is overproduced and has an absurd sense of bravado, but it's got a certain appeal. I dont' think it will hold up to many listens, but I'll enjoy it for now.

[Tangy zizzle]

OMG Zappa is an indie kid!!

[br3ad_man]

TV On The Radio, Radiohead and Delirious

EDIT: 200th post!

[manuscriptreplica]

I'm sure you mean 2000th

2000th reply!!

[Luxor]

Funeral = dA sHiz.

[br3ad_man]

Indeed

[biografiend]

Hot damn Radiohead's website is so neat. I've been going on another binge with them. Right now, it's the Amnesiac cd.

[Happymeal]

I got a Pinback EP and album from slsk. Hooooweeee

[Luxor]

There used to be an awesome site where you could stream every single one of their albums. The guy shut it down though, because the RIAA scared him. :angry:

[br3ad_man]

It wasn't a stream. It was an actual download!

:upset:

[Iai]

Today I have been mostly enjoying The Doors, and Sly & The Family Stone.

And Pinkerton. Still.

Sad thing is, all the albums I wanna listen to at work are on my PC, and my CD player doesn't play ripped CDs. Meanwhile, my mp3 player needs maintenance. :(

[Luxor]

It wasn't a stream. It was an actual download!

:upset:
Hmm, I wonder why I never actually downloaded the tracks. I just remember always streaming them... *Shrugs*

[vallely2004]

I've been diggin' Biffy Clyro, QOTSA's split EP with Beaver that I got recently and Jimmy Eat World

[br3ad_man]

Hmm, I wonder why I never actually downloaded the tracks. I just remember always streaming them... *Shrugs*

Maybe you're just silly :p

[NineBitFable]

The Singles from ...And you will know us by the Trail of Dead's new cd (They = rox)
And Fall of Troy's EP, which I got yesterday after... 3 weeks, (They also = rox)
And finally, Cream.

[DanceToAllTheWrongSongs]

murder by death and cursive is definitely what I've been digging lately. Spectacular bands if you haven't heard any of their music :thumb:

[br3ad_man]

The Singles from ...And you will know us by the Trail of Dead's new cd (They = rox)


The new one thats coming next year?!?!?!?

[RIPJoeStrummer]

I've been diggin' Simon and Garfunkel and Grandaddy for the past week.

[Luxor]

I've discovered the greatness that lies within Neil Young.

[songster]

I just found the raddest, most obscure band ever last night. They a re called "The Kills" and are made up of a chick from Florida and a guy from London. They are awesome and I love their song "Cat Claw". They probably won't catch on in mainstream circles (not that that is always the determinant of a great band) but you should check 'em out at www.thekills.tv

[Stinko Man]

I've been listening to Ima Robot, The Faint, The Mars Volta and The Flaming Lips lately.

[biografiend]

refl. im starting to think amnesiac is quite an underrated album.

Yeah they're pretty well known. Not obscure at all.

Good band though.

[Little Man being Erased]

refl. im starting to think amnesiac is quite an underrated album.
Hell yes!

[br3ad_man]

I got Sketches Of Spain today. Other than that, I've mainly been listening to David Gray and Isis.

[YDload]

I found a video of ATDI playing "Pattern Against User" live at some concert called Big Day Out. Before the song, Cedric said it was dedicated to The Fall, and if anyone didn't know who they were, they should "Stop listening to so much hip-hop and heavy metal."

Weird comment from the guy who ended up working with Handsome Boy Modeling School AND Rick Rubin, but funny note: his talking voice sounds like his ATDI shouting voice.

I have that video, and the guitarist tells everyone not to 'fuc king crowd surf' or something? The BDO is a festival in Australia, a bloody good one too, and ATDI came in 2001, and because they are opposed to crowd surfing they walked off after about five songs

[Tangy zizzle]

The Fall > ATD-I

[asymm]

been diggin'
Joy Division - Substance
Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes
Low - Things We Lost In The Fire
The Who - The Who Sell Out

[PreteniousPunk]

one has been digging
girls aloud
black sabbath
s club 7's greatest hits
and
ac/dc

[Interstate]

I found my ZZ Top Greatest Hits cd, I forgot how good it is!

[br3ad_man]

ZZ Top rule! My dad would look like one of them if he never got his beard cut.

[Interstate]

ZZ Top rule! My dad would look like one of them if he never got his beard cut.

They do indeed :cool: It would take me years to grow beard like that!

[Tapeworm]

I just saw Little Birdy and Eskimo Joe. They were both great, but LB were especially great.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Lighting Bolt (again)
Lovage
Mojo Nixon
Devo (again)

[Iai]

Today I was mostly digging Public Enemy's Fear Of A Black Planet.

Right now I'm listening to the copy of Let It Be (Beatles, not Replacements) I got from my college library. I'm really not impressed.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

yeah, i never found Let It Be to be all that exciting, cept for a few good tracks, its just lacking of something.

[Iai]

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel.

Now I'm checking The Smiths' self-titled debut. Much better. :cool:

[br3ad_man]

I downloaded some Sigur Ros videos last night and now I'm obsessed again.

[Zappa]

I'm listening to DIllinger Escape Plan trying to grasp why people in my jazz forum are saying that they have jazz elements. I'm tired of people mistaking "odd time signatures" for "jazz." It's not even close to the same thing.

However, DEP aren't a bad band.

[Iris]

I've heard that DEP has Blues elements, but never Jazz.

[Tomahawk]

Let It Be is ok... Across the Universe is one of my favourite songs ever.

[Zappa]

Digging some old Herb Alpert and Tijuana Brass 45''s that I found in the basement.

[Happymeal]

I'm playing U2 - Electrical Storm for the 50th time today. Love that song.

[biografiend]

I downloaded some Sigur Ros videos last night and now I'm obsessed again.the video to untitled #1 always makes me teary eyed.

[Tangy zizzle]

I've been diggin' ditches... no seriously.

All I seem to listen to these days is TV On The Radio, Hot Snakes, Weezer and JSBX.

Meh.

[Well_Respected_Man]

I'm really into Colin Newman's solo stuff right now. I wasn't expecting much from a solo artist.

[Tangy zizzle]

who that is?

[Well_Respected_Man]

Singer/ songwriter from WIRE.
