What I've Been Digging Lately

[Montana]

I'm really into Ryan Adams' album, "Heartbreaker". Especially the song Come Pick Me Up.

[mick7]

I've really been getting into a mix of Sarah Blasko and The Butterfly Effect (both Australian artists).

It's a strange mix but surprisingly works, I recommend both artists though they write some excellent music!

[Zebra]

Boards of Canada

That's all I've listened to all day.

[pixiesfanyo]

Sleeping People - Sleeping People

[dei]

Because of that Plug Music Awards business thread that DMD made the other day I have been listening to Ellen Allien nonstop. It's cool. So I'm going to put down Ellen Allien's Berlinette.

[Little Man being Erased]

It's not old school, it's middle school :cool:
2 :cool: 4 skool


I'm really into Ryan Adams' album, "Heartbreaker". Especially the song Come Pick Me Up.
Excellent work.


I listened to Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People just before. It was good I guess, but I just sort of drifted in and out of it.

[br3ad_man]

I totally second Sarah Blasko. She has quite honestly made one of the best albums of the year.

[sexymuffin]

frog eyes and this will destroy you atm

[Zappa]

Go Buckeyes

I go to Michigan, and a bunch of kids had these "Buck the ****eyes" t-shirts when our football team competed against theirs. But I thought that was dumb, because it still has the f-word in it.

[Anxious]

People wore Spuck the Fartans shirts against my school's team.

That works out well.

[Zappa]

Now that's a good one.

[ATM]

Tung Twista - Runnin' Off At Da Mouth

Excellent, all rap fans track this down.

[ATM]

"whens the last time you heard it like this? smoke something, drink something get ripped. makes the girls in the party just strip, move that *** bitch"

[mick7]

I totally second Sarah Blasko. She has quite honestly made one of the best albums of the year.

Yeah I totally agree. Been in my car for the last week.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Smog - A River Ain't Too Much To Love
Mount Eerie - No Flashlight
Odd Nosdam - Burner
VAST - Visual Audio Sensory Theater
Lilys - Everything Wrong Is Imaginary
Why? - Elephant Eyelash
The Gerogerigegege - Singles 1985-1993

[Happymeal]

The Gerogerigegege - Singles 1985-1993

Nice.



The Radio Dept. - Pet Grief

[AlienEater]

Russian Circles - Enter

[ATM]

Nice!

I'm still digging Melvins - A Senile Animal

I love it.

[AlienEater]

Nice!

I'm still digging Melvins - A Senile Animal

I love it.

I really want that.

[ATM]

Yea, track it down. It's my favorite Melvin's release.

[AlienEater]

Yea, track it down. It's my favorite Melvin's release.

I'll get it eventually.

[Kyle]

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas
I went off this for like 4 months, but getting back into it now. Some pretty great tunes on here, but a few weak ones aswell.

Red House Painters - Ocean Beach
Digging this big time right now, great music to do my essay to.

Mr Scruff - Trouser Jazz
Saw him live last night, the man's a genius.

[AlienEater]

Mr Scruff's really cool.

I'm digging Eleventh Dream Day - Eighth now. They're a really cool band, members of Tortoise are in it, and Ira Kaplan guest on guitar for most of it.

[EightMilesHigh]

I listened to Broken Social Scene - You Forgot It In People just before. It was good I guess, but I just sort of drifted in and out of it.

It's pretty good, but it doesn't have anything that really reaches out and grabs you.

[Kayetan]

Vashti Bunyan- Another Diamond Day

This album is so nice.

[Bukowski]

I'm seeing The Melvins (with Flipper supporting!) in December, so I'll need to check A Senile Animal.

I'm digging this ****:

Wipers - Over The Edge
Earth - Earth II
The Ex - Mudbird Shivers

[PECOAE]

Beck - Mutations
Beck - Midnite Vultures

[Happymeal]

it has three things that reach out and grab you. They are called "Stars and Sons", "Almost Crimes" and "Cause = Time".

I'll add "Lover's Spit" to that. That album's one of my favorites.

[mr_jackalope]

it has three things that reach out and grab you. They are called "Stars and Sons", "Almost Crimes" and "Cause = Time".

Bedroom Rock for the Missionaries > Shampoo Suicide is the best moment on the album.

[mr_jackalope]

Also, now playing: Felt - Forever Breathes the Lonely Word

[convulsion]

Los Bunkers - Spanish Rock really melodic

[mr_jackalope]

Orange Juice - You Can't Hide Your Love Forever
Mekons - The Edge of the World

[asymm]

Pernice Brothers - The World Won't End
Galaxie 500 - Today
My girlfriend is slowly becoming enamored with "Tugboat". I'm so proud!

[ATM]

Elliott Smith - From a Basement On a Hill

He's so damn bittersweet.

Toadies - Rubberneck

90's rock, nuff said.

[Little Man being Erased]

Daft Punk - Discovery
The Veils - Nux Vomica
Girl Talk - Night Ripper
The Go! Team - Thunder Lightning Strike
The Shins - Chutes Too Narrow

[Dave de Sylvia]

Toadies - Rubberneck

90's rock, nuff said.
Have you heard The Burden Brothers? They're the Toadies' singer's current band. Really good punk-infused radio rock.

Izzy Stradlin - Izzy Stradlin & The Ju Ju Hounds

[PECOAE]

Tenacious D - Tenacious D (Kielbasa is sublime)
Chapterhouse - Whirlpool
Stars Of Track And Field - Centuries Before Love And War

[Little Man being Erased]

Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
Joanna Newsom - Ys
The Bronx - The Bronx II

I think The Bronx just murdered Joanna Newsom.

But anyway. I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One is awesome. Not sure about Ys yet. And of course The Bronx II is ****ing awesome.

Now I'm listening to The Jesus Lizard - Goat.

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, so Goat is pretty damn awesome.

Pavement - Wowee Zowee

Pretty solid stuff right there.

[Zmev]

I listened to Joanna Newsom for about one second before shutting it off. ahhh

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

i like Ys a lot.

Alec Empire - The Destroyer
Pan Sonic - A
Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me
Straitjacket Fits - Hail

[AlienEater]

Neurosis - Through Silver in Blood

seems like a meathead comment, but there needs to be more brvtal metal on here and less strings/piano/violin. It's not their strong suit. The brvtal metal parts are brvtal as hell though.

I really like that album. When I saw them last night they mainly played brvtal metal, not sure which songs if any they played this though.

Sonic Youth: SYR 4

I've had this for a while, but never really listened to it. I like it.

[Bukowski]

Loop - Heaven's End

So deliciousy druggy.

[Kyle]

hmmm the new Incubus leaked, I'll give it a try.

[Anxious]

Loop - Heaven's End

So deliciousy druggy.

Indeed.

[Cygnus Inter Anates]

I really like that album. When I saw them last night they mainly played brvtal metal, not sure which songs if any they played this though.

Sonic Youth: SYR 4

I've had this for a while, but never really listened to it. I like it.

syr 4 is sweet

"Having Never Written a Note for Percussion" is the best song

[AlienEater]

Yeah it's really cool, I don't know why I basically ignored it.

Venetian Snares - Cavalcade Of Glee And Dadaist Happy Hardcore
This is pretty crazy, but really good.

Scott Walker - The Drift
Fugazi - 13 Songs
Converge - Jane Doe

I'm not sure if Jane Doe is as good as Petitioning the Empty Sky, some of the songs don't seem as memorable to me. Though it's like twice as brutal and intense and a lot of other metal sounding adjectives.

[Little Man being Erased]

Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker

Fantastic as always.

The Drones - Wait Long by the River and the Bodies of Your Enemies will Float By

This is a lot better than I remember. I had this idea that all the slower quieter songs were not very good, but only "Locust" is really below average. It just drags on too much. But awesome album overall.

XTC - Skylarking

The first 8 songs on this are some of the best pop songs ever written, I swear. But then after that, it seems to drop off a bit, but then it finishes with "Dear God" which is cool. Still, fantastic album.

Orange Juice - The Glasgow School

Yes. I really dig Orange Juice, but this album is kind of all over the place (which is not to say it's bad). I need to get an album proper I think.

[Eliminator]

Okay so "Jane Doe" alone convinces me that the album deserves a 4.5

[The Jungler]

The Game- Doctor's Advocate

yeah, his flow is pretty lame, but man there are some great beats on here.
Yeah, my friend played me a couple tracks. Good stuff, especially the title track. Hopefully he will come through on his promise to burn it for me.

"Big Day" is one of the worst songs they ever recorded. Its such an hard on killer after "Earn Enough for Us."

[JonM]

I'm digging this record by this dude Benjy Ferree. It's called Leaving The Nest, and it's the most refreshing indie rock record I've heard in a long time.

Scratch that. It's consistently awesome. With the exception of the last track "I Don't Care" and the seemingly unnecessary "Moscow Olympics," that is.


"Big Day" is one of the worst songs they ever recorded. Its such an hard on killer after "Earn Enough for Us."
Yeah, the whole thing is just getting better and better with each song, and then BAM! It's all over.

[Zmev]

hey remember when everyone was like omg matisyahu iz so gud

now no one talks about him.

"Moby Octopad" and "Sugarcube" are fantastic songs. Good album.

Moby Octopad has the coolest bassline.

Why does everyone like Steve Reich?

[La Revolucion]

I like some of Reich's work, but there's a bit that's pointless and stupid.

Music for 18 Musicians is hypnotic and nice if I'm in the mood for it.

But on that note, I've been digging SYR 4.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Who - Who's Next

This really is a fantastic rock record. The bonus tracks are cool too.

[The Jungler]

Bright Eyes - Fevers and Mirrors

Superb CD, probably my favorite Bright Eyes record.

Leonard Cohen - Songs of Love and Hate

whaddya think?

[Eliminator]

it's really good

[pulseczar]

Built to Spill - There's Nothing Wrong with Love - has some excellent songs, but overall not that great because of the songs like sound like a painfully bland version of pavement.
A Silver Mt Zion - Born into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upwards - rediscovered it recently
Venetian Snares - Cavalcade - like a more lighthearted but equally energetic version of german hardcore techno, good stuff

these aren't actually called german techno hardcore and i don't know if such a term exists looking into it, but i assumed they'd be called something ridiculous like that since it's aggressive, ripping synths with equally aggressive beats. They usually go beyond that at times with some experimentation of course (read my review of Alec Empire's Generation Star Wars for some sort of idea.) Atari Teenage Riot is the group those other three belong to, so i can't say i have very varied recommendations, but i'm happy listening to just them, and a lot of it is very similar to Venetian Snares as i said before.

i shouldve just said atari teenage riot is what they remind me of in the first place...

Stone Throw Records - Chrome Children

The atmospheric tracks near the end are sweet, plus the Madvillain track.

[ATM]

I still need to grab that.

[Eliminator]

pulse,

"twirl" is an awesome song isn't it

[pulseczar]

yes suh. the beats almost sound like it's a melody accompanying the little keyboard one in the background.

[Kayetan]

You guys are truly missing out if you don't have Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett.

[Eliminator]

yes suh. the beats almost sound like it's a melody accompanying the little keyboard one in the background.

yeah, that's pretty much what i think too

the drums sound sad :(

[Zmev]

Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor

I want to enjoy this but this guy is such a pussy

[mr_jackalope]

You guys are truly missing out if you don't have Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett.

[asymm]

The Pretenders - Learning to Crawl

[ATM]

Hilltop Hoods ****ing own, as does Shearwater.

I'm digging cheesy 70's rock, right now Grand Funk Railroad.

[asymm]

Chocolate Overdose - Dingledoodies
Debut releases from Supersilent and unreleased Arve Nordheim material ... then shortly thereafter they release this? Granted, it's alright - but it's terribly unlike everything else on the label.

[Kyle]

Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
This is tight, up there with the best Hip Hop this year I think.

Blondie - Eat To The Beat
Not quite Parallel Lines, but it's still got a great pop vibe.

[Kyle]

I still need to give it some time to sink in, but i'm thinking it might be.

[BillCosby]

The Clipse album sucks. Everyone shut up.

The Incubus leak sucks for the most part too. Except "Light Grenades".

[YDload]

hey, The Dismemberment Plan's Change album is way better than Emergency and I! maybe i just think so because it sounds similar to Minus the Bear :(

[Zebra]

Tom Waits - Orphans

Second disc ftw.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Zombies - Odessey and Oracle
Bruce Springsteen - Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J.
Whiskeytown - Faithless Street
The Bronx - The Bronx

****ing hell The Bronx rule.

I think I might need to bump Odessey and Oracle up my top albums 65-74 listy.

[Kyle]

The Clipse album sucks. Everyone shut up.Psssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhh!

[asymm]

In The Country - Losing Stones, Collecting Bones
Fartein Valen - The Eternal
Both are gorgeous. In The Country has beefed up their songs - up to and even including vocals. It's a solid record through and through.

[AlienEater]

Floor - Dove

[Zebra]

Cake - Comfort Eagle

[Robert Crumb]

Rain Parade - Emergency Third Rail Power Trip

Neat. Guitarist has some nice Verlaine moments.

[Zmev]

The Drones - Wait Long By The River And The Bodies Of Your Enemies Will Float By

This is pretty good.

[EightMilesHigh]

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Tonight's The Night

Neil is always good but I feel like I'm in a music rut. My last.fm just seems to be a variation of the same things every week.

[EightMilesHigh]

Low - Long Division

DMD this is really good. I mean......wow.

[Dave de Sylvia]

The new Nirvana DVD is quite good.

Hanoi Rocks - Another Hostile Takeover
Hanoi Rocks - Oriental Beat

The Apples In Stereo - Tone Soul Evolution
Peaches - The Teaches Of Peaches

[Anxious]

http://www.sendspace.com/file/mhxjnu

Thanks.

[Little Man being Erased]

I is so much better. They should have kept Gilby Clarke as producer :(
True. But they're both pretty much awesome anyway.

[Eliminator]

Low - Long Division

Kind of boring.

The Game - Doctor's Advocate

See above.

[Little Man being Erased]

The Devastations - Coal

Wow, this is really good. Not what I expected though. Just because of their name I kind of expected some sort of semi-hardcore band or something, but it's pretty much lush pop music. Really good vocals.

Yay for Aussie music!

[EightMilesHigh]

The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.

Rip This Joint is one of those songs I would love to dance to if I didn't have two left feet.

[mr_jackalope]

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Tonight's The Night

Neil is always good but I feel like I'm in a music rut. My last.fm just seems to be a variation of the same things every week.

I listened to this today as well on a busride. In addition:

The Triffids - Calenture
The Chameleons - What Does Anything Mean? Basically
The Go-Betweens - Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express
The National - Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers

http://www.sendspace.com/file/mhxjnu

here it is, listen to it. It's very good.
I'm listening to this right now, and although I like it, I am very tired and cannot handle such mellow music right now. So I'll have to get back to it some other time.

[Interstate]

Darren Hanlon - Early Days
Messiah J & The Expert - Now This I Have To Hear

[pixiesfanyo]

Brand New - Deja Entendu

Sometimes, I really want to listen to this album. It's really average though.

[pixiesfanyo]

Every song on it is good. It's just, none of them are like.. BAM!

[mr_jackalope]

Your friends argue about Morrissey compilations? I wish I had friends that would do that.

EDIT: oo god leet post count

[NineBitFable]

The Whigs

I have NO IDEA how I had not heard of this band before. Kind of like the strokes meets the Replacements. . . but so much better.

[AlienEater]

Dan Sartain Vs. the Serpientes
Spase rockabilly, pretty cool.

Xenakis - Electronic music
A collection of some of his electronic compositions. I like it.

[Zmev]

Saccharine Trust - We Became Snakes

[asymm]

In the car ride back to school:

In The Country - Loose Stones, Collecting Bones
Nils Økland - Straum
Tove Nilsen - Flash Caravan
Chocolate Overdose - Dingledoodies

[Zmev]

Uh what do you expect its as "indie king" ymm posting.

i know that name. what are they like?

Think if post punk and fusion had a baby, and they lived in a SST house and Mike Watt was the babysitter.

[Anxious]

Low - I Could Live In Hope

you know how Long Division is like being in a swimming pool? This is like being in a dirt tunnel underground. It's not as good but "Words" is fantastic.
Could you upload that? When I search for more Low on slsk a bunch of shitty rappers come up.

[Zmev]

Calexico - Hot Rail

I dunno if this or A Feast of Wire is their best.

[Eliminator]

Xiu Xiu - The Air Force

it's good

[bleep_bloop]

Calexico - Hot Rail

I dunno if this or A Feast of Wire is their best.

i love that album. i really love the last track also because i grew up hearing that train, so whenever i listen to it, it reminds me of tucson.

[asymm]

Supersilent - 6
What a fantastic record. I plan on showing (making her watch) their DVD album, 7, to my girlfriend since I brought it back from home. Her reaction is a true litmus test.

[mr_jackalope]

6 and 7 are like perfect, basically. It sometimes seems to be you and I throwing that fact back and forth in these threads. I wish I had a woman who would even be up for sitting through them, but alas.

I made all of my band members watch 7. It was a good bonding moment.

I myself listened to a whole hell of a lot of Go-Betweens albums today, as well as some Spoon and Triffids.

[mr_jackalope]

I got my sister into the Dismemberment Plan by driving her to school every morning with my tape of E&I stuck in the tapedeck of my truck. I'm sure you're proud.

[Eliminator]

i force people into my car

does that count

[mr_jackalope]

Hey, you've at least gotta agree it's better than that Ben Kweller and Damien Rice BS she listened to before.

Plus also E&I is perfect.

[asymm]

I wish I had a woman who would even be up for sitting through them, but alas.
I'm just aiming for one song, then seeing if she can handle a few more. Worst case scenario, she'll appreciate the visual dynamics and respect the interplay. But hopefully she can enjoy the music as a whole.

Eventually the whole board will shout of Supersilent's greatness. Just a matter of time.

[YDload]

nacho i tried to download Liar by the jesus lizard but slsk was being gay

plz send me songs except the first one cause i already have it (the only one i managed to get :()

[pulseczar]

Tom Waits - Orphans
probably the must-hear of the year. i put bawlers on first, i wasn't too impressed, but i thought i'd like it more by what i read. i stopped and started listening to brawlers, and it completely floored me. after 2 songs of brawlers i knew i was a waits fan, and i'm looking forward to listening to the whole album.

[Eliminator]

listen to rain dogs

[pixiesfanyo]

Yes, I should get 6.

Mr. jackalope aim me it.

Fiona Apple - When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight And He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand And Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights And If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land And If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right

and other things i can't remember

[Robert Crumb]

Mayo Thompson - Corky's Debt to His Father

I'll have to hunt that one down. I like God Bless the Red Krayola etc. but not really enough to put it on my list. But Mayo's cool.

Currently immersed in the holy triumvirate of late 60's, early 70's singer-song writer goofballs that is NilssonNewmanHazlewood.

Today it was all about Antonin Dvorak and Clubfoot Orchestra.

[Robert Crumb]

this is like if GBTRK... had actual songs on it. And notes.

basically, it sounds like upbeat Bonnie 'Prince' Billy.

Awesome, sounds more my speed. Any chance for an upload? I'll trade you for some Lee Hazlewood, if you wanna give him a shot.

[Anxious]

M83 and Sonic Youth.

[Robert Crumb]

Lee Hazlewood = the guy who wrote "Some Velvet Morning," all-around awesome country-folk dude. Think Silver Jews, but with more references to giving laundrymen beer.

[sexymuffin]

Trashmen - Surfin' Bird

Damn, I love the Trashmen!

Sure thing, I can throw this up tomorrow.

Though, it's not quite as good if it's not raining.
