That's a pretty damn faggy photo though.

[Bartender]

Candi Staton - His Hands

A little disappointing (having heard it compared - though not directly - to Don't Give Up On Me), but it's quite good. A little bit too smooth and background music-like sometimes, but the good songs are really pretty good. The title track (written by Will Oldham) is a good example, and "When Hearts Grow Cold" is probably one of my favourite songs of the year.

Iron Maiden - everything, but with a particular emphasis on "A Matter of Life and Death".

In anticipation of maybe seeing them later this month.

I also quite like the new Bond theme song (Chris Cornell's), and I just recently found out that Alan Moore will be appearing as a guest on an episode of the Simpsons next year, so I'm digging that fact.

Pere Ubu - The Modern Dance

I'm not the biggest fan of some of the tuneless wankery that's scattered throughout this album, but my god, the good bits are unbelievably awesome.

Reminds me of 9th grade.

[Kage]

Yeah it's a kickass album.

[pixiesfanyo]

It's good but it is no White Pony.

[EightMilesHigh]

Minor Threat - Complete Discography

Always good. Good for venting frustration

Rickie Lee Jones - S/T

Good singer/songwriter type stuff my friend got me into. If you like Joni Mitchell check her out.

[Eliminator]

np: Swan Lake - Beast Moands

Animal Collective- Peoples

Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
It's alright.

[Dave de Sylvia]

housequake! (dum dumadum dum)

Isis - In the Absence of Truth

[Kayetan]

well, is it okay, or do you truly dig it?

i don't know i'm only on the second song

[pixiesfanyo]

i trrules

[Eliminator]

on fourth song

so far it's pretty boring

[Luxor]

Clipse - Hell Hath No Fury
It's alright.

It grows on you.

MBV - Isn't Anything

Found this album under my desk, I lost it like a year and a half ago.

[slack]

elliott smith - roman candle
joanna newsom - ys

[Zebra]

Built to Spill - Perfect From Now On

It's growing on me but I'm still disappointed. If they knew when to end some of their songs then the album would be much better.

[Kayetan]

Amina- Animaamina

It's been awhile since I listened to this one, and it's still nice and relaxing. Amina is the group of girls who sometimes plays with Sigur Ros, btw.

[Jawaharal]

Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone With Copper Tongue

this never gets old, but I just realized how goofy the lyrics are.

[pixiesfanyo]

wtf.

they're notgoofyatall.

[wang masta flex]

Has anyone heard The Medications? Very similar to Faraquet. I would check out Your Favorite People All In One Place... I'm really digging this album right now.

[Anxious]

Deerhoof. I love this band so much.

[wang masta flex]

Deerhoof. I love this band so much.

They're playing in a really small venue in DC in February... I really wanna go I just need someone to drive me down haha.

[asdf]

I lost my indie cred because I had a chance to see deerhoof for free and I passed on it.

Same with sunn0))) and Devendra Banhart.

[Zmev]

suck0)))

[Little Man being Erased]

Or does that improve your indie cred?

[asdf]

I'm not saying there good. I'm saying that there's probably a few people on this forum that would scold me for the missed opportunity for any of those bands.

[Anxious]

I lost my indie cred because I had a chance to see deerhoof for free and I passed on it.

The other two acts are acceptable to miss but NOT Deerhoof!

I've really been digging Either/Or. It just clicked with me immediately. I also bought Roman Candle, which is awesome as well but not as perfect. Elliott Smith will be one of my favorites soon, surely.

[AlienEater]

Major Stars - Synopticon

It's pretty great, has some really awesome triple guitar parts.

[ATM]

Me too! I just got Either/Or and am listening to it at this very moment. He's already one of my favorites though. I think he's number 2 on my Last.FM

[Happymeal]

Has anyone heard The Medications? Very similar to Faraquet. I would check out Your Favorite People All In One Place... I'm really digging this album right now.

The EP's pretty awesome, but the album's kinda hit or miss.

[JonM]

The new Ghostface is hot. By which I mean it is going to be hot...

I'm also digging this new collab between Zion I and The Grouch entitled Heroes In The City Of Dope. It's nothing revolutionary, but it's refreshingly real hip hop.

[ATM]

True post all around, Jon. I've been trying to get people to listen to Heros in the City of Dope for awhile now. It will grow on you big time.

You should check out High and Mighty - 12th Man. It's some good ****.

[JonM]

Checking out.

[superpeer]

Been checking out ol' Nick Drake, recently. Good shi

[asymm]

Yellow Swans - Psychic Sessions
Therapeutic, yet abrasive droning.

I'm going to be doing some potentially noisy atmospheric flourishes in my friend's recording, so I'm trying to hear more and be inspired. I'm also looking into a few more technical means of getting it done. Any tips on non-musical items used for the creation of music?

[Bartender]

Einstürzende Neubauten do a lot of that. Not sure if that's the kind of thing you're thinking of, but they may well give you a few ideas, at least.

god, dinosaur jr kick so much ***

[sr800bkBassist]

i saw this folk punk band last night called Shakey Bones. they all dressed like hobos out of the great depression, with suspenders and worn out clothes/hats etc. and their drummer was so punk that instead of drumsticks he used his left fist and a knife in his right hand. up the punx. drumming with your fist and a knife > everything else.

[asdf]

That sounds like a fun show.

I was going to see Harley Poe, but a snowstorm and lack of car prevented it.

I just hope I can make an excellent road trip to see Gogol Bordello next weekend.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Candy - Whatever Happened To Fun?

This is seriously one of pop's forgotten gems. Anyone who likes the Gin Blossoms or the Replacements or the Beatles or music needs to get this one. It's not original in any real way, but it's just that damn good.

[sr800bkBassist]

yeah they were playing with Captain Chaos and Paul Baribeau as well but i had to leave at 10 so i missed both of them. which sucked. but at least i saw a couple bands.

[Zebra]

R.E.M. - Automatic for the People

I haven't listened to this in a while and I must say that the second half is way stronger than the first. The last three tracks are some of the bands best songs, this isn't their high point but it's still a very impressive album.

[biografiend]

I've been really wanting more ethreal lady vocals, a la Cocteau Twins (more specifically Treasure), First Nation, Lush, Stereolab, or just more female singers in general, really. help plz.

today:
First Nation - s/t
Radio Dept. - Pet Grief

[Zmev]

Listen to 10,000 Maniacs like everyone should.

[The Stig]

I have been listening to Blur's self-titled album a lot the last few weeks. I didn't like it that much at first, but it's a pretty amazing record.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Parklife doesn't sound near as good these days. The song though, is superb. I love playing around with those chords.

[The Stig]

I'll admit, I have turned into a bit of a Blur fanboy. I still love the three britpop albums they did. I understand that I'm probably about the only person who thinks they're downright amazing, so I try to keep it down so as not to be rediculed away from the boards and all. But hey, if it's what I like...

[The Stig]

I agree there. Rubbish is probably on my top ten nineties albums. I still need to get 13, Think Tank, and Leisure, though.

[bleep_bloop]

think tank is ok. i dunno, its kinda boring.
i like the song with the dancing milk carton in the video though.

on a side note: ive been digging circle takes the square a lot lately. dank ****.

[Dave de Sylvia]

When I was a huge Oasis fan about four or so years ago, Blur were one of my favourite bands. They were never Oasis, but that was pretty much unachievable at the time.

[The Stig]

I don't know where you live, Plath, but I know that in America, the only Blur anybody* ever seems to know about is "Woo-Hoo" [sic]. The local radio station played a live acoustic concert of theirs several years ago, and I thought they were terrible. I saw their best of in Barnes and Noble and listened to it as a joke, and I left the store with one more Blur album than I ever thought I would own. At the moment they're my favorite band, but I have also been on jaunts like this with Radiohead, Rush, and REM, so it may burn out once I've purchased all the albums. We'll see. (Sorry to derail the thread).

Go for more Frenchies. Francoise Hardy, Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin all worked the whole sensual, breathy chanteuse angle. Give them a try if you haven't already. Maybe Jennifer Charles/Elysian Fields too, if you don't mind the kind of goth overtones.

[sexymuffin]

Frog Eyes - The Horse Used to Wear A Crown

easily one of the better songs to put you in a very nuetral feeling. Great for depression, bad for times you feel good.

[YDload]

ah-ee-ah-ee-ee-wah-ow

and it's gooooooood

better than ezra

i.e. the bassline that was either stolen by them from the Pixies, or the one that was stolen from BTE by All-American Rejects for "Swing Swing"

I've been listening to a lot of Murder by Death lately, mostly Who Will Survive.., which is a change since previously I always listened to their first one a lot more. "Devil in Mexico" is fast becoming one of my favourite songs, by MBD or anyone else, as I can't get enough of the "dealing insults with his free hand" line. I'll have to get their new one sometime soon. I know a lot of people have said it isn't really very good, but I don't really care.

J. J. Jackson - But It's Alright is a really good (and surprisingly seemingly quite unknown) soul record, though more soul for partying, than southern soul. I think everyone'd do well to hear the title track, at least.

Bill Withers - Just As I Am is another album that looks like it isn't going to do well in the 65-74 list, but probably should. Most people are probably familiar with "Ain't No Sunshine", but it's far from the only great song on there. At least half the record's up to its standard, and the other half are good enough in themselves.

I'm also finding that I tend to enjoy songs I wouldn't normally think much of at all (e.g. Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated, Chad Kroeger - Hero, Switchfoot - Meant to Live) when they're on a Spiderman soundtrack.

Hüsker Dü - New Day Rising
Svarte Greiner - Knive

Trying to write my artist's statement for my BFA review next week. It's not particularly easy to synopsize yourself and what you do in 1/2 a page.

[Eliminator]

i was just listening to new day rising last night

[pixiesfanyo]

Red House Painter's - Songs For A Blue Guitar
The Vidablue - This is The Way To Rule

[_Mote_]

Magical Myster Tour - The Beatles

Their most underrated album. I actually like it more then Sgt. Peppers. All You Need is Love is a masterpiece.

[Electrocution]

I pretty much decided that Gospel and Slint are my favorite bands.

been listening to some Songs About ****ing too, and I feel some Sonic Youth coming on.

[_Mote_]

Which Big Black CD should I get Electrocution? Songs... or Rich Man's 8 Track, which I believe had Atomizer (I think that's what it was called) on it. Or could you possibly upload Songs About ****ing into the Album Trading thread? I've been meaning to get into them forever.

[Eliminator]

listening to evol right now

could someone hook me up with a gospel album

[Electrocution]

both you guys should get slsk if you don't have it and hit me up. my name is I Am Electrocution.

[_Mote_]

Jesus titty christ, you're the biggest Sonic Youth hating sonic youth fan of all time!

[Eliminator]

both you guys should get slsk if you don't have it and hit me up. my name is I Am Electrocution.

i have soulseek, but it doesn't work for me anymore

[_Mote_]

and Electrocution, I have dial-up, so I just let the albums download when I go to bed. It's convienent for me to use the Album Trading thread, but it's defidently chill with me if you don't want to do it.

[pulseczar]

Raekwon the Chef - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
I'm addicted to the Clan as of late

[Anxious]

I pretty much decided that Gospel and Slint are my favorite bands.

Two one album bands(I doubt you're counting Tweez). Those two albums are 6/5 no doubt.

Atomizer.

i have soulseek, but it doesn't work for me anymore
Delete, reinstall.

[Eliminator]

i've done that twice

[Anxious]

Whats the error message?

[_Mote_]

Atomizer.


Can't find it anywhere. Me thinks it's out of print. It's not on Amazon either.

[Anxious]

It is. Get the copulation one then.

[_Mote_]

K thanx.

[Eliminator]

i'm listening to destroyer's rubies right now

i don't likw the dude's voice

[Eliminator]

okay the first song on this album totally blows chunks

it's a little better now

as in, almost decent

[Kyle]

I love Destroyer's Rubies, it's really euphoric.

[Eliminator]

maybe if the singer wasn't so ****ing annoying and they were a little less bland

and knew when to end songs

[YDload]

i need to buy christmas gifts (aka CDs) soon what should i get???

myself: i need two albums and i'm not sure what they should be. welp, you guys know my taste so tell me what i need to buy (not merely download but OWN)

brother 1: metalcore and real emo/screamo, but maybe also some of that dismemberment plan/minus the bear dancey indie rock.

brother 2: r&m technical metal/ prog-loving dork

HALP

[Anxious]

Yowie - Cryptooology

Its sweet.

[Robert Crumb]

Bill Withers - Just As I Am is another album that looks like it isn't going to do well in the 65-74 list, but probably should. Most people are probably familiar with "Ain't No Sunshine", but it's far from the only great song on there. At least half the record's up to its standard, and the other half are good enough in themselves.

Never heard this, but I'll try to. I've got a best of but I've never really investigated Withers properly.

I'm currently compiling a collection of 2006 deadest musicians. So I've been listening to some Buck Ownes, Syd Barrett and Ali Farka Toure in attempts to decide which songs to throw on for them. And for somenoe reason I wanted to hear "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" right now, so I just played that.

[Eliminator]

I've come to the conclusion that "The Manifold Curiosity" is one of the most badass songs ever.

[Robert Crumb]

You've got some pretty good opinions on the other page there, E.

[Eliminator]

What do you mean, sir Robert Crumb?

[Robert Crumb]

Rubies sucks, Son is sweet.

[Eliminator]

Yessuh.

[sexymuffin]

also guys what do you think of my new thing www.myspace.com/softadvertisement

I played it all on keyboard, and I don't know how to play keyboard, but it turned out ok anyway I guess

the good thing about keyboard is as long as you have other instruments going on around it, you don't have to be good at it at all to add to the music in a good way. It's a percussion instrument :)

overall, some interesting melodies going on, but the rhythm is pretty off (i'm assuming you played all the drums on the key board too, if not, invest in a metronome or a sense of timing). another thing is the songs don't really go anywhere, but they're not finished complete songs so it's good for what it is.

i'm getting a 16 track for christmas, and im currently working on what i think will end up being the best song i've made in a while. It's full of maps-esque tapping (chill like the ongoing horrible), interesting chord progressions that remind me of mew and a crescendo that gives radiohead a run for their money.

i can't wait to record it.

[sexymuffin]

thanks alot dimes make dollars it's good to see someone here who likes to make music as i've never seen you around before

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm not sure how popular these guys are, but who has heard of The Liars? I've been really loving their minimalistic sound lately..They've a very good chill yet quite haunting sound.

[AlienEater]

Liars are good.

[asymm]

Something's not quite right tonight. Suzanne's laying in bed, but I just can't allow myself to sleep. I'm anxious and feeling stupid. Oh well, it's given me a chance to listen to music, I guess.

Brian Eno - Ambient 1
Arve Henriksen - Chiaroscuro

ALSO! Shining and Arve Henriksen will both be releasing new records shortly. Shining is going to release Grindstone in January and Arve is releasing Strjon in February. I can't wait for either.

Freshly Wrapped Candies - I Like You

Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand

This isn't nearly as good as I was hoping it to be. I'll have to listen to it more though.

[JonM]

I'm digging Russell Gunn's new record. He's my hometown hero.

[NineBitFable]

Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand

This isn't nearly as good as I was hoping it to be. I'll have to listen to it more though.

Woha. weird, I loved that album so much the first week I had it, and then after that I kinda got tired of it. . . still very good, though.

I'm digging Automatic For the People, and the White Album. Indie.

[Happymeal]

Woha. weird, I loved that album so much the first week I had it, and then after that I kinda got tired of it. . . still very good, though.

In my case, the opposite. Every time I listen to it I get hooked to the melodies in different songs.

Lewis Black - The White Album

[_Mote_]

Big Black - Songs About ****ing.

I just listened to it for 4 hours during my workshift. Everybody download it from the Album Trading e-mail, it's amazing.

[Bukowski]

Mote, have you heard Atomizer? It's > SAF

I'm drowning my sorrows about missing ATP by listening to Black Flag. Good outlet for my anger.

[_Mote_]

I'm going to get the Rich Man's 8-Track soon, which has Atomizer and couple of EP's and outtakes. If it's really that much better then SAF, then I'm in for a treat.

Right now I'mma listenin' to Meat Puppets - II

[Bukowski]

It's not that much better, but still better. Both rule.

[_Mote_]

Cool. My favorite song off of SAF is L Dopa, it's just so amazingly aggressive, and all that he's really saying is "It's a dollop of Daisy." Brilliant!

[Eliminator]

Oh my god. Sour cream.

their cover of "He's a Whore" is cool

[_Mote_]

Yea, I love Albini's voice is too.

[beso negro]

Foy Vance

check him out in the Folk Listening partay.

[sr800bkBassist]

for the past hour i've been listening to Rosa in my room, non-stop.

for some reason even though they're among the most simple of the PIX folk punk bands, they're still so amazing. it just makes me happy to listen to them.

[YDload]

finally heard a RHP song thanks to youtube. it was just the song playing over a still shot of the band, clever way to get that out there >:-}

it was called "Katy Song" and i remember someone posted the lyrics in that big Mark Kozelek thread. really really great song, you're right again Nacho :)

[pulseczar]

glass on the pavement under my shoe
without you is all my life amounts to
:upset:

Eloy - Inside
this album would be near perfect if the opener didn't rip off Pink Floyd's Echoes in certain places (still more interesting than Floyd anyway)

[bleep_bloop]

:upset:

wait is that from the rhp song or the eloy song

edit: ok its from the rhp song.
