What I've Been Digging Lately

[EightMilesHigh]

At The Drive-In - Relationship Of Command
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust

First one gets an unfair rap, second one is one of those albums that gets better the more I listen to it.

[EightMilesHigh]

Fugazi - 13 Songs

[Luxor]

Red House Painters
The One AM Radio
Pavement

[AlienEater]

I've been digging Gregor Samsa. It's lush, dreamy post rock.

[Kyle]

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

^^This is great, can't believe I ignored it for so long.

[Eliminator]

I've been digging Gregor Samsa. It's lush, dreamy post rock.

as opposed to all that abrasive, frightening post rock

[Jacaranda]

Arctic Monkeys - Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

^^This is great, can't believe I ignored it for so long.
What made you like it suddenly?

[Kyle]

What made you like it suddenly?Just been dancing to them a lot in pubs and clubs, and having a great time. And I had never heard the whole album until a few weeks ago, there's some great album tracks here.

I love Riot Van.

[pixiesfanyo]

Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye

[bmxrunner]

Mogwai - Ten Rapid and Young Team

[Dave de Sylvia]

Messiah J & The Expert - Now This I Have To Hear
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere
GZA - Beneath The Surface

These three go better together than I would have suspected.

Brotha Lynch Hung - Season of Da Siccness
The Replacements - Sorry Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash
Harlots - This Is the Second Death
Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist

The Cure - Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
The Decemberists - The Crane Wife
Has anyone noticed how ballsy of a cover The Crane Wife has? Their major label debut, no text, just a small illustration with an obvious stretch towards musical icon. It feels very important.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Seems to have not registered all my plays of The Blue Yusef Lateef last night, though. Incidentally, don't suppose anyone here's heard the new remasters of Eastern Sounds? I haven't, wondering if there's much difference.

[RicheyIs4Real]

listening to latter day mary chain stuff, paticularly the song 'cracking up'

[Zappa]

Maybe I'll pick that up (Eastern Sounds), I don't already own a copy. I didn't know there was a new re-release.

[Bartender]

I don't have a copy either, it always seems to be unavailable/expensive wherever I go to look for it. This new one's all easy to find and cheap and stuff, which is helpful. Don't want to get it only to find that this Van Gelder guy has ruined it somehow, though.


I particularly like your 5s and 7. Have you heard any of the Nightmare Before Christmas covers? They're a bit :-/

No, I haven't heard any of them yet. I don't have high hopes, though :( Have you heard my 3? They're a pretty good, sleazy rock band that I kinda got into through the Wildhearts years ago. They broke up a while back, though.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I'm listening to them on myspace now, actually. I know a few of the Wildhearts folk at metal sludge think highly of them, so I'll give it a go.

I can't remember if you have a good connection, but if you do you can stream some of the nightmare covers on myspace. Surprisingly, Fall Out Boy's is the best. They covered What's This? and it really doesn't sound a lot different to their normal songs. Manson's This Is Halloween sucks, as does She Wants Revenge's Kidnap The Sandy Claws. They try so hard to be Ian Curtis, but, no.

http://www.myspace.com/nightmare3d

[Eliminator]

i like the fall out boy one

[Bartender]

My connection's alright, except that it hates myspace. Rarely works for playing songs. Worked alright just now, though, for a couple of songs at least. Fall Out Boy's was suprisingly good actually, yeah, probably because it's a fairly straight cover of the song. The only other one I managed to listen to before it died was Kidnap the Sandy Claws, which was awful :(

I didn't know there were Wildhearts folk on metal sludge. I think I remember there being an interview with Ginger there that I read, though.

Rudy Van Gelder is the greatest jazz engineer ever.

[NineBitFable]

Pavement, Daft Punk and Stardust.
Oh, and some Archers of Loaf. and Mew.

[Little Man being Erased]

Imogen Heap - Speak for Yourself. Surprisingly good.

Cursive - Happy Hollow. Really enjoyed this on first listen.

Orange Juice - The Glasgow School. Awesome for the most part. It has a few low points, but that is to be expected on a compilation.

Whiskeytown - Faithless Street. If it's Ryan Adams it's good.

[mr_jackalope]

PS asymm are you enjoying that Beach House thing, because I found it kind of boring. Maybe a few more listens.

Though not directed at me, gotta say it's pretty nice after a few listens, in that autumny, Mazzy Star sort of way. Not as stellar as p4k made out to be (as usual), but I wouldn't go so far as to call it boring.

[asymm]

After a couple listens, I'm not too impressed with Beach House. I'd prefer to not say boring, but so far it isn't doing well in planting a distinct impression on me. I plan on giving it more of a chance soon, but I'm too enamored with Songs of Leonard Cohen and Squarepusher's Hello Everything to bother right now.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

That Squarepusher album is good, that Planetarium song is really catchy

[beso negro]

The new John Legend album is fantastic. Everyone must get this when it comes out.

Otherwise gtfokthx.

[mr_jackalope]

Just popped on Six Organs of Admittance's A Sun Awakens for the first time in a while and remembered how much I love Ben Chasney.

[JonM]

The Most Serene Republic. They're ****ing awesome.

[Interstate]

Recently:

Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt
Snow Patrol - Final Straw

[Kyle]

The Most Serene Republic. They're ****ing awesome.Yes! Glad somebody agrees. It seems that the general consensus here is that they are good, but nothing more.

As per usual. But now I have my very own copy of the CD.

[The Jungler]

Dredg's El Cielo is pretty awesome. I always knew about the band, I don't know what took me so long to listen to one of their albums.

[Happymeal]

http://www.amazon.com/Christmas-In-Stars-Star-Album/dp/B0000033VG

Which my grandparents are listening to in the living room right now.

[ATM]

Yes! Glad somebody agrees. It seems that the general consensus here is that they are good, but nothing more.

I'm diggin' them quite a bit, too.

[EightMilesHigh]

Little Man: XTC rule.

Jay Z - Reasonable Doubt

this + Architecture In Helsinki.

[Neoteric]

MBV EP's and bootlegs
And loads of other things that don't come to mind right now.

[Little Man being Erased]

Little Man: XTC rule.
Indeed they do. They're the best band I've discovered in quite some time. I have Skylarking to look forward to as well.

[Bartender]

Got Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint's The River in Reverse in the post this morning. I didn't really know what to expect - all I really know about Toussaint is that he's a New Orleans R&B legend, and has worked with a soul singer I've been meaning to check out, Lee Dorsey - so, with the help of his status as Piano Man and a performance on Jools Holland, I was expecting a fairly slow, piano-heavy album that I would like but would take a bit of perseverance to get through the first few times. But I was wrong - this kicks as. The first track kicks off with slow piano, which seemed to confirm my suspicions, but then this howling telecaster comes in with the rest of the band. The most pleasant surprise I've had in a long time. The first five tracks (most of them written by Toussaint, including a couple of covers) are all excellent; after that my level of interest wavers up and down, although the last couple of tracks - especialy "Wonder Woman" - get back to approaching how good the opening quintet was.

So, it's pretty good. Sudden contender for my favourite album this year, at any rate.

[sexymuffin]

Mount Eerie

Mount Eerie

I was listening to The Glow Pt.2 earlier today. Such a great album.

Dismemberent Plan - Emergency and I (phenomenal album)
Ghosts and Vodka - Addicts and Drunks

[mr_jackalope]

Lots of Mission of Burma and Voxtrot today (including the latter's latest EP, Your Biggest Fan). Gotta stick with the favorites, you know.

[Zmev]

Six Organs of Admittance - School of the Flower

Its nice, the music is well thought out, but since I'm not a stoner I can't fully enjoy this.

7.6/10

[br3ad_man]

Sarah Blasko - What The Sea Wants, The Sea Will Have

So good. Probably my 6th or 7th favourite of the year so far.

[Smackers]

Sigur Rós.

Sonic Youth's Sister.

[Eliminator]

The Comsat Angels - Sleep No More
Powerful record, I'm surprised I'm just now hearing this. Post-punk was an amazingly consistent time/genre for music.

[pixiesfanyo]

Blonde Redhead?

[Eliminator]

zing

their more recent stuff doesn't sound like sy though

[pixiesfanyo]

and their old stuff is better than most SY.

The Comsat Angels - Sleep No More

True dat.

[Zmev]

I'm diggin' the possibility of seeing Gnarls Barkley and The Flaming Lips on New Years Eve

[Little Man being Erased]

I'd be diggin' that too. That would be awesome.

[asymm]

Squarepusher - Hello Everything
Rope - Heresy, and Then Nothing but Tears

[Robert Crumb]

Various Artists - Plague Songs

Main reason I checked this out was for the Eno/Robert Wyatt song. But there's some neat stuff here. Songs about the biblical plagues. Lotsa big names. Scott Walker. lolol.

[pixiesfanyo]

Pavement - Slanted & Enchanted

[Happymeal]

Spoon - Girls Can Tell
Ol' Dirty Bastard - Nigga Please

[Robert Crumb]

Irene - Apple Bay

Stephen Merritt parading as a Morrissey imitator playing C-86 cumshots with Beat Happening's rhythm section. Not bad. "The Game" is excellent. The Morrissey "ah-hahs" need to go, though.

[Zmev]

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start - And Nothing is #1

This is...nice

[Happymeal]

Are they related to Up-C Down-C Left-C Right-C ABC + Start?

[Zmev]

No thats the code for instant death

[biografiend]

Joanna Newsom - Milk-eyed Mender aaaand Ys

I remember hearing some songs by her last year and didnt like it. But Jeeeeesus Christ I was prbably drunk or something. Her voice is pretty and she is beautiful and her music is amazing. I'm addicted.

[perriwinkle]

M. Ward's album Transfiguration of Vincent. anyone heard? amazing

[sexymuffin]

i've got end of amnesia

which is quite amazing in its own right

[Zmev]

Yeah Edwards is a beast at vocals.

edit: Diggage for the night:

David Bowie - Low

All the hype, and THIS?

Dead Kennedys - FFFRV

I forgot how great this is.

[Neoteric]

The anticipation of the new Deftones CD is getting me back into them. So yeah, White Pony.

[Bartender]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAH9vAAyf6Y

one of the coolest singers currently operating. Their new album is pretty ****ing good.

How does it compare to their last one?

[JonM]

I'm digging Abida Parveen. She's the female legend of Qawwali, which is Sufi devotional singing. But y'all probably don't care.

[pixiesfanyo]

The anticipation of the new Deftones CD is getting me back into them. So yeah, White Pony.

It's about as good as the S/T, little bit better.

[Little Man being Erased]

David Bowie - Low

What hype?

It's a great album though.

[androo]

pavement, smashing pumkpins and ween.

[pixiesfanyo]

Converge - No Heroes

Man, I wish Dowsing didn't come out this year.

[mr_jackalope]

I still don't like that Woven Hand album. I'll pop it in again in a week or so.

I've had a very packt day, I must say:

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Tom Waits - Alice
Lambchop - Nixon
Rafter - 10 Songs
Indian Jewelry - Invasive Exotics
Les Georges Leningrad - Sangue Puro
Pit Er Pat - Pyramid

The new Les Georges Leningrad is pretty fantastic, gotta say.

[asymm]

Rope - Heresy, And Then Nothing But Tears
Really interesting record:
Rope formed in Poland as a guitar/bass duo in 1998. Since relocating to Chicago in 2000 they have become one of the city's most flummoxing avant rock groups. Heresy, and Then Nothing But Tears is their second full-length album. Robert Iwanik (bass, vocals), Przemyslaw Krzysztof Drazek (guitar) and Michael J. Kendrick (trap set, percussion, electronics) blend deconstructed strains of Swans' emotional weight and Last Exit's fury with propelling grooves and Krzysztof Komeda's classical suspense into lush and often uncompromising no wave abrasion. Rope's constantly evolving ocean of impossible rhythms, screaming guitar and Iwanik's hissing voice adds up to an ultra-dynamic group force of cryptic awe. Features guest vocals from Grazyna Auguscik and songwriting/vocal collaboration by Oxbow's Eugene Robinson on four songs. Cover art by famed Polish fringe painter Stanislaw Ignacy "Witkacy" Witkiewicz.

Brian Eno - Ambient 1: Music For Airports

[Dave de Sylvia]

Eno's song on that Plague Songs CD is pretty good. Usually I don't have the patience to listen to his songs.

[Eliminator]

I sort of read that review.

I'll probably get the Eno song though.

[EightMilesHigh]

The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow


Took me a while to get into that. But now I really like it. Fighting In A Sack is my favorite off there.

Joy Division - Closer

Picked this up at the library t'other day. Will post opinion soon.

[Eliminator]

Did you have an epileptic fit in anticipation?

Celph Titled - The Gatalog: A Collection of Chaos

[Little Man being Erased]

The Flaming Lips - Transmissions from the Satellite Heart
Pretty damn great, but it didn't have the instant impact that Clouds Taste Metallic did for me. We'll see how we go from here.

XTC - Skylarking
As awesome as Drums and Wires. Man, this band is quickly becoming one of my favourites.

Bruce Springsteen - Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.
It's the Boss. And it's fantastic.

Pulp - This is Hardcore
Holy crap. So awesome. What a fantastic duo of albums, Different Class, and then this.

Spoon - Girls Can Tell
Fantastic as always.

And now I'm listening to Primal Scream - Screamadelica and it's great so far.

Quite a big afternoon.

Oh, and I'm getting back into Deftones because of the new album.

Just listened to Ecim by Cul De Sac for the first time, and it's wonderful. Vaguely Neu!ish avant-garde rock from the early 90s.

[Jawaharal]

eels - Beautiful Freak
Tom Waits - Real Gone
Dexy's Midnight Runners - Too-Rye-Aye
Marc Ribot - ...Plays The Guitar Works of Franz Casseus
Nick Cave - Murder Ballads

Dexy's Midnight Runners - Too-Rye-Aye

Big Pun, Grandmaster Flash & Klashnekoff

Save Ferris have a pretty cool cover of that song.

Which was about the only good song on that album.

[beso negro]

I just listened to "Time's up" by Heavy Vegetables, and I am not sure what to think of it. Don't they realize how atonal they are?

Yet somehow the dissonance is growing on me.

[Dave de Sylvia]

I listened to The Queen Is Dead a couple of times, which led to Vauxhall & I, which I listened to for too long and got bored. Now I'm listening to Messiah J & The Expert because I was sick of mid-tempo crap.

[sr800bkBassist]

North Of America- "Bayonet Point"

jesus. amazing. seriously.

[br3ad_man]

I've mainly been listening to Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. Both of their recent singles are so good.

Napalm Death

[BringHomeTheBacon]

Death Cab For Cutie- Transatlanticism
Heatmiser- Mic City Sons
Nick Drake- Pink Moon

Against Me! - Reinventing Axle Rose

Just listened to Ecim by Cul De Sac for the first time, and it's wonderful. Vaguely Neu!ish avant-garde rock from the early 90s.

A second listen to this means it is really fantastic.

Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand

"Tractor Rape Chain" is so addictive. I might buy their live DVD.

Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand

"Tractor Rape Chain" is so addictive. I might buy their live DVD.
Do it! The DVD is amazing! Sure, it's ridiculously long (4 hrs), but it's a pure, unadulterated GBV love-fest the entire way.

[EightMilesHigh]

Save Ferris have a pretty cool cover of that song.

Which was about the only good song on that album.

apparently no doubt do a cover of it.

i hope to avoid it for the rest of my natural life.

[mr_jackalope]

It's Chameleons UK time, baby.

[mr_jackalope]

That new Califone is easily one of the top 5 releases of this year, no doubt. A few days ago I listened to Orchids on repeat about 10 times, it's too beautiful. Anyone have the original Psychic TV version? I've yet to find it torrented/soulseek'd.

Have you listened to Califone's earlier stuff? I'd say their last two real records are just as strong as this one.

[mr_jackalope]

Yeah those are the ones I was referring to. Q/C is still my favorite record by them, but this new one is making a strong run for the top. It's unfathomably great.

[Zmev]

apparently no doubt do a cover of it.

i hope to avoid it for the rest of my natural life.

Yeah well Save Ferris' version has a horn section. Even though Monique Powell does sound a lot like Gwen Steffani.

Dillinger Four - This **** is Genius: A Collection of Assorted Songs

[sr800bkBassist]

hahaha but it's good!

[Zmev]

Yeah its alright I guess.

Dillinger Four have a sweet cover of Sally Maclennane

[Dave de Sylvia]

You Are The Quarry. I still don't know what to make of this record. You'd think it'd become a bit clearer after two years but I dunno. Sometimes I love it, sometimes it's drab and boring.

Now listening to Danny Elfman's Corpse Bride soundtrack.

[sr800bkBassist]

Kylesa- "To Walk a Middle Course"

i've been listening to quite a bit of heavy stuff lately, compared to my usual listening habits.

Nomeansno - Wrong

This is better then I thought it would be, "Rags and Bones" is superb.

[mr_jackalope]

Dear god how does The Obliterati rock this much?

Seriously, WTF?

[Zappa]

Nomeansno - Wrong

This is better then I thought it would be, "Rags and Bones" is superb.

How does that work? It has some of the greatest hype on this entire website.

[Zebra]

A while back I downloaded I Am Wrong and Stocktaking and didn't really care for them. I recently decided to buy it because of all the hype it was receiving.

[sr800bkBassist]

Nomeansno annoys me. mainly just their singer. i can listen to maybe one song but after that i need to move on to another band. and i must say, "Rags and Bones" isn't that good compared to the other songs on the CD. just really repetitive and dry.

[Happymeal]

Do it! The DVD is amazing! Sure, it's ridiculously long (4 hrs), but it's a pure, unadulterated GBV love-fest the entire way.

Will do. When I saw the back of the case there's like a bajillion songs on the setlist. Now I'm really looking forward to watching it.

[YDload]

it's the best song on the album! you have to play it on bass (tabs are online somewhere) to really understand how AWESOME that riff is. and i know u play bass so start learning it!

Sun Kil Moon- Ghosts of the Great Highway

its still awesome, getting awesomer. "Last Tide/Floating" (specifically the first part) is my fav.

[ATM]

Captain Dan - Authentic Pirate Hip Hop

[Luxor]

I like Red House Painters a lot. I should probably listen to Sun Kil Moon.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Smiths - Louder Than Bombs
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes
Cursive - Happy Hollow
Whiskeytown - Faithless Street

Damn, I had a theme going on there for the first two and didn't even realise.

[6Stringer]

Yeah I got that off Nacho last night. Good stuff.

Jaga Jazzist - What We Must

That's a great album. I listen to it when I study for my math class.

[sexymuffin]

the Mars Volta. Haven't listened to this in probably over a year.

[XxcheetoxX]

Talvin Singh - Ok

[Zmev]

NoU - 13 Point Plan to Destroy America

[Happymeal]

Mirah - Advisory Committee

Mostly standard female singer/songwriter stuff so far. Nice opener though.

Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway

I'd like to say that I listened to all the songs thoroughly to form an acceptable opinion about this album but really, "Duk Koo Kim" rapes every other song here. And most songs out there for that matter.

[pixiesfanyo]

dick sucking can get you far tonys.

[Happymeal]

If I could only do that with NoU =(

[pixiesfanyo]

I dig on NoU.

Psychic TV - Dreams Less Sweet

Finally found this, and it's pretty neat so far. I've gotta explore the Throbbing Gristle continuum more thoroughly.

[mr_jackalope]

Goddamnit now I wann play Califone some more.

Jerboa - Music for my Instruments

I just started last.fm and I randomly added mxers that I could find.

Decemberists and Pixies, basically.

[pixiesfanyo]

Rachel's - The Sea and the Bells

This is ridiculously gorgeous.

Too much so almost.

[6Stringer]

Bad Brains - Bad Brains
Three 6 Mafia - The Most Known Unknowns
Sun Kil Moon - Ghosts of the Great Highway
Black Flag - Damaged

All are terrific albums.

[Zappa]

Various artists - Bali: Gamelan and Kecak
Shu-De - Voices from the Distant Steppe

The second is Mongolian overtone singing. The first should be obvious.

[TAND]

Make Yourself style Incubus... not sure where to put them... but it's good ****.

[JonM]

I played through that whole album today. I almost know all of it for two instruments and vocals now. Is that ridiculous?

[Robert Crumb]

Curtis Mayfield/Impressions/Momus/Pere Ubu.

[TAND]

That is ridic. but that's pretty sweet. I only know bass. I'm still learning guitar.

[Little Man being Erased]

Primal Scream - Screamadelica

Fantastic album.

[mr_jackalope]

Yet you still don't listen to the Beach Boys, the heirs to the Four Tops legacy.

[Jacaranda]

Four Tops - Essential Collection

these guys are responsible for literally every single R&B song, ever. I can't believe all the stuff they've done that I've always known, but never known the artist until now.
They are fantastic. shame i only have them on vinyl. Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and The Four Seasons are also to very classy groups.

[pixiesfanyo]

James Brown played math rock.

[pixiesfanyo]
