[Boilermaker]

Yea, it is.

[pixiesfanyo]

It's lame.

So you're _Mote_?

[Neoteric]

you know, i never actually thought of that

though they were posting at the same time

[Bukowski]

Unwound - Challenge For A Civilized Society
Bardo Pond - Ticket Crystals
Universal Congress Of - Sad and Tragic Demise of Big Fine Hot Salty BlackWind
Circle Jerks - Group Sex

Universal Congress Of are perfect to chill out to.

[bleep_bloop]

Liars - They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top
Off Minor - S/T

[YDload]

It's lame.

So you're _Mote_?

oh yeah i forgot about that. mote did talk about listening to Liar and he's probably just trying to butter me up. yeah like i believed for a second that he was really a new member! but he IS a nub. mote is a perma-nub.

I'm obsessed with a singer/songwriter named Lila Downs. She's ridicalic.

[Boilermaker]

wtf?

How am I Mote?

[YDload]

wtf?

How am I Mote?

you just are, trust me.

[Boilermaker]

Ok.

Vewwy suspishus...

[Anxious]

[Boilermaker]

David Fiuczynski - Jazzpunk

[YDload]

lol ip

oh yeah i forgot about that nifty little tool.

welp, the jig is up.

[Boilermaker]

Alright guys, I just want to start fresh ok? I really want to at least have a shot of being taken seriously, so YD, it would be great if you deleated that post, and we can start it off again like I am a new member to the forum.

[The Great Decay]

That's so lame.

[mr_jackalope]

I'm in the process of making 10 song 2006 samplers for people based on their taste. So I'm digging through every album I listened to over the course of the year and looking up some ones I missed, looking for songs I like. "2wice" really is up around the best.


"2wice" is one of the best rock songs produced this decade.

[mr_jackalope]

I wish I would've quoted Boilermaker's admittance to being Mote two posts above.

That's lame, dude.

[Boilermaker]

I deleated it because I'm off to go to bed and I wasn't sure if he'd respond in time, but whatever guys.

I'm just gonna try to start fresh. I just hope you realised that without knowing that I was Mote, I was accepted a lot better here. So I'm going to attempt at what Dei and Electronic Wolf did and abandon Mote and stick with Boilermaker now.
The thing of me hating and driving away Mote was just kind of a fun thing for me to do. I was just trying to eliminate Mote from the picture and start everything off new.
I'm sorry if anyone is kind of upset that what they thought was going to be a good member ended up being Mote, but I just hope I can move on and start something new for me in the forum.

G'Night everyone, see you tommarow.

[bleep_bloop]

youre doing pretty good dont f'uck it up dude

[Boilermaker]

I won't.

I'm just going to not even mention it from here on.

[pixiesfanyo]

Still a faggot.

[FA]

why'd u tell people u were mote?

[br3ad_man]

I've never seen Mote do anything bad, so whatever.

[Eliminator]

Still a faggot.

This.

[Kyle]

I'm sorry if anyone is kind of upset that what they thought was going to be a good member ended up being MoteThis is one of the funniest sentances i've ever read on MX.

[Neoteric]

well he's being a lot better than he was when he was Mote so i think i'll give him another chance :)

what i'm diggin lately:
Thurston Moore's solo work
Cocteau Twins

[Jacaranda]

wow mote you went through a lot of trouble to be accepted. you got another email for the mailing list... you changed your name and 'acted' like someone else (although it was really obvious it was you) i'd go back to mote and just chill out if i were you.
meanwhile...
i just got the new agalloch so i'll be listening to that

[Sepstrup]

I just listened to Ok Computer again. It's a fabulous album.

[AlienEater]

Bailter Space - Voltura

this is cool vaguely shoegazey space rock.

[Neoteric]

wow mote you went through a lot of trouble to be accepted. you got another email for the mailing list... you changed your name and 'acted' like someone else (although it was really obvious it was you) i'd go back to mote and just chill out if i were you.
meanwhile...
i just got the new agalloch so i'll be listening to thatthe new Agalloch is good

i like it just as much as Pale Folklore and The Mantle

[SailAway]

I've been digging a lot of clapton and hendrix lately.

[Robert Crumb]

I'm gonna go back to ignoring posters and start talking about music again. Digging Hip Hop is Dead for the first time today. Been on my computer for a week now and I've been avoiding it. It's not so bad. Better than Kingdom Come so far, at least.

[pixiesfanyo]

ye is pretty gud.

[Boilermaker]

Buzzcocks - Singles going Steady

Yum.

[FA]

rza

[Boilermaker]

rza

Which album? I was listening to him today

[EightMilesHigh]

John Coltrane - Blue Train

[bleep_bloop]

Botch - We are the romans

i ****ing love this cd

[Bukowski]

Slint - Spiderland

This is always good.

[asdf]

MX-80 Sound - Out of the Tunnel

I'm getting it from vinyl onto my computer, but I'm sad because the first song skips in one spot :(

[asdf]

That John Cale album is pretty good.

I grew up on the song Paris 1919.

[Zebra]

Slint - Spiderland

This is always good.

It's only good at night.

[pixiesfanyo]

TV on the Radio - Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes

I think the last three tracks are the best on here. If they had followed that kind of jammish dub type of a deal on their new album more it would've been alot better in my opinion.

[bleep_bloop]

yeah, their new album isnt that good.

[Electrocution]

oh you know...Liquid Swords.

[AlienEater]

Sonic Youth - Sonic Death

[bleep_bloop]

Botch - Amercan Nervoso

[Electrocution]

Botch - Amercan Nervoso
hot

[bleep_bloop]

word

[pixiesfanyo]

I wish I had the Botch DVD.

[Electrocution]

i'm tempted to buy it...provided hydrahead still has some in stock.

[ATM]

I was listening to the album in your avatar today, and really loving it. "Here's A Smirk" is the ****.

[Eliminator]

Sonic Youth - Sonic Death

that's very low-quality live recording of bands in their early days of you

[pixiesfanyo]

Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute

[br3ad_man]

Mogwai - Mr. Beast
Luxury - Health and Sport

[Zmev]

^ and Finch's Say Hello to Sunshine is all the music I've played today.

Meh. I didnt do as much listening as I though I did/would. Now listening to Bat for Lashes, which is pretty good.

[bleep_bloop]

uh
digging some off minor at the momento

[Eliminator]

good list ASDF

[Electrocution]

I was listening to the album in your avatar today, and really loving it. "Here's A Smirk" is the ****.
it's really a classic. i never see anyone talk about it on here, though...but that might be because i pretty much stick to A&I.

and i am in the midst of my mandatory semi-weekly dig of Dopesmoker.

[bleep_bloop]

by sleep? i just downloaded it, i have yet to check it out.

[seamantis]

my bloody valentine- loveless
the thermals- the body the blood the machine
TV on the radio- return to cookie mountain
the flaming lips- anything :P

[Electrocution]

by sleep? i just downloaded it, i have yet to check it out.
yes. i've seen you say that you like sunn, so you should probably enjoy Dopesmoker, as it sort of has the whole drone/quasi-trance/meditative quality to it, although the vocals might throw that off a bit...but the lyrics are pretty ****ing awesome. or you'll hate them. whatever. listen.

[ATM]

Dopesmoker rules. Lets be friends.

[Electrocution]

/clicks heels

[Robert Crumb]

Apple Juice Break!

[Electrocution]

i can't decide if that's supposed to mean it's a break as in a beat...incorporating apple juice, or a break as in a rest for the purpose of drinking apple juice.

edit: coincidentally, i drink apple juice right now.

[ATM]

I also dig apple juice.

[Robert Crumb]

I have a thing of apple juice in the fridge, but it's cheap stuff and it's old so it all settled at the bottom and now it looks kinda gross and I'm afraid to drink it.

[Eliminator]

Envy - A Dead Sinking Story

[Luxor]

Envy - A Dead Sinking Story

Really good but I got bored with them quickly.

[bleep_bloop]

yes. i've seen you say that you like sunn, so you should probably enjoy Dopesmoker, as it sort of has the whole drone/quasi-trance/meditative quality to it, although the vocals might throw that off a bit...but the lyrics are pretty ****ing awesome. or you'll hate them. whatever. listen.

eh, it was ok, but the vocals did throw me off quite a bit, i didnt really like it.

[Electrocution]

eh, it was ok, but the vocals did throw me off quite a bit, i didnt really like it.
give it a shot some other time. i don't think i was particularly enamored with it during the first listen.

just spun a bunch of vinyl. Genghis Tron's Dead Mountain Mouth followed by Black Eyes' Cough followed by Do Make Say Think's Goodbye Enemy Airship the Landlord is Dead. Didn't finish the last one yet due to an urgent need to shred!!!!

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

Cansei de Ser Sexy - Cansei de Ser Sexy
Liars - They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top
The Shins - Wincing The Night Away
Tim Koch - Faena
Beat Happening - Beat Happening
Various Artists (The Polyphonic Spree & Elliott Smith) - Thumbsucker OST

[Happymeal]

Damon and Naomi - Damon and Naomi with Ghost

I don't like Galaxie 500 enough to want to listen to these two, but this collabo with Ghost piqued my interest.

[ATM]

Ghost as in the Japanese band?

I'm diggin Tommy Guerrero - A Little Bit of Somethin'

I highly reccomend this

[br3ad_man]

The Cooper Temple Clause - Kick Up the Fire and Let the Flames Break Loose

This is what Muse would be like if they were better.

[Happymeal]

Ghost as in the Japanese band?

Yup.

[FA]

Rocky Votolato - Suicide Medicine
Red House Painters - Old Ramon
M. Ward - Transistor Radio

[ATM]

Yup.

I heard one song of theirs a long time ago and liked it, is it worth tracking down a full album?

[Happymeal]

I heard one song of theirs a long time ago and liked it, is it worth tracking down a full album?

Definitely. I'm assuming that song is from Hypnotic Underworld? Get that, then Snuffbox Immanence if you want more.

[ATM]

Cool, I'll see if I can find it.

[Boilermaker]

Dead Milkmen - Methodist Coloring Book

[NineBitFable]

Hold Steady- Boys and Girls in America

[Sepstrup]

I'm digging soul music as of late. I'm hunting for more currently.

NP: Sam Cooke - Night Beat.

This is awesome stuff.

[mr_jackalope]

I loaded up all of my Guided by Voices albums in iTunes and put it on random. It actually sounds just like listening to one of their albums.

[FA]

Sam Cooke...why does that sound so familiar...

[Interstate]

Air - Moon Safari
Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder

Very relaxing evening so far.

[pixiesfanyo]

I just bought Pajo - 1968, Ratatat - Classics, and Comets on Fire - Avatar.

So them.

[EightMilesHigh]

Sam Cooke...why does that sound so familiar...

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology

etc.

[Robert Crumb]

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Doc at the Radar Station

Got the remaster for a quarter yesterday. :)

[pixiesfanyo]

A quarter?

How!

[Robert Crumb]

Niggas owe me ****.

[pixiesfanyo]

I sling vinyl for coke.

Niggas love Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, 1st pressin's/

[Robert Crumb]

I rough bitches up and take they vinyls
I steal obscure post-punk from old ladies and minors

[Interstate]

The Streets - The Hardest Way To Make An Easy Living

I'm not liking this half as much as A Grand Don't Come For Free but it's still pretty good. I need to give it a few more spins before forming a proper opinion.

[Eliminator]

Air - Moon Safari

[beso negro]

Dennis Brown

I have come to the realization that reggae music is indeed, the best type of music.

[bleep_bloop]

I have just acquired both of Sun Kil Moon's albums, after Nacho's incessant whoring of Mark Kozelek and Ghosts of the Great Highway.

I have to say, "Si, Paloma" is lovely.

Best noise/shoegaze band ever.

[Neoteric]

:cool:

i wanna know

i wanna knoooooooow

man she has such a bad voice, but in a good way.Yeah but that just adds to the awesomeness of it basically. Besides she's more of a 'talker'.

[PECOAE]

Who? Kim? Gordon? Moore?

I think so.

She sings nicely on "Reena", though.

[Bukowski]

Chavez - Ride the Fader

this is so amazing.

[bleep_bloop]

i cannot illustrate enough how much i love annuals

[Bukowski]

i cannot illustrate enough how much i love annuals

never heard of them. what are they like?

[bleep_bloop]

hmm theyre hard to explain
theyre a pop band but they often use multiple drumsets/drums so they have a good sense of percussion. they kind of remind me of architecture in helsinki in terms of their melodies and the various instrumentation they use.

[Anxious]

Old Time Relijon


James Chance and the Contortions meets Captain Beefheart.

[PECOAE]

I listened to Loveless again today. It's still good.

Anyone like Beirut?

[Electrocution]

Beirut is really nice music.

[PECOAE]

I just LOVE Gulag Orkestar. My favourites are "Prenzlauerberg", "Postcards From Italy", and "Mount Wroclai (Idle Days)".

[biografiend]

yeah, Beirut rulez. I want to get the Lon Gisland EP, but I dunno if its worth it?

today:
Bat For Lashes
CocoRosie - La Maison and Noah's Ark
Avey Tare & Panda Bear - Spirit They've Gone... - way better than nois-y Danse Manatee/Here Comes the Indian Animal Collective

[PECOAE]

It's good, but not great.

I have $4.39 in iTunes store credit, and I want to use it exactly. What EP should I get?

[mr_jackalope]

Today:

Mission of Burma - Vs.
The Constantines - Tournament of Hearts
Jim O'Rourke - Eureka

I'm now listening to the free jazz album O'Rourke released with a Japanese jazz artist named Akira Sakata. It's pretty accessible for free jazz I guess, or maybe I just like Jim's guitar playing.

[pixiesfanyo]

American Football - American Football

So gorgeous.

[Zmev]

A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner

"The King Is Dead" is all sorts of awesome.

[asymm]

And for today it was...

The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
Pixies - Doolitte
Earth - Earth 2
Boris - Pink

[PECOAE]

Chapterhouse - Whirlpool

[Zmev]

Well obviously.

[ATM]

Tommy Guerro - A Little Bit of Somethin'

He may have first come to light as a cult figure in the 80's skateboarding scene, but when he gave up skating to concentrate on music, this was to be a decision that would enable him to produce some wonderfully beautiful Latin (Puerto Rican) referencing music, that uses the elements of his skate-punk pass, to produce an album of delicate Indie Rock, a dash of Post-rock & ever so slight trances of Experimental rock, to deliver a subtle album of magpie influences that features languid grooves, Latin music, Acoustic guitar, electronica-styled beats, "Tortoise" style Post-rock experimentation, with the odd usage of jazz, and even samba are all thrown into a theoretical musical cooking pot, and emerged as an album bristling with downtempo grooves.

Its an album that blends influences from all kinds of unexpected, offbeat places and tires that reinterpret them with a decidedly stripped-down feel. There are no heavy guitar or Big beat diversions here, its resolutely a low-key, Lo-fi feel, that feels remarkably personal, as opposed to being something heavily produced that lacks that intimate connection, and the fact that the majority of the musicians playing the instruments here, are Friends of Tommy Guerrero emphasises that DIY feel.

[Zmev]

So its like skateboard-latin-punk?

[ATM]

It's hard to explain, but it rules.

[PECOAE]

Well obviously.

Well, yeah.

I heard about it a couple of months ago on this forum and I love it.

I just reviewed it, actually.

[mr_jackalope]

Guerrero's latest is alright. It's just sort of jazzy instrumental music as far as I can tell.

[mr_jackalope]

In fact it's sort of like muzak now that I think about it. Hmm...

[Eliminator]

Today:

Mission of Burma - Vs.
The Constantines - Tournament of Hearts
Jim O'Rourke - Eureka

I'm now listening to the free jazz album O'Rourke released with a Japanese jazz artist named Akira Sakata. It's pretty accessible for free jazz I guess, or maybe I just like Jim's guitar playing.

eureka is such a good album

His pop phase (Eureka, Insignificance, Halfway to a Threeway, the Loose Fur albums) is like the best thing ever.

[Bukowski]

Old Time Relijon


James Chance and the Contortions meets Captain Beefheart.

I'm sold. To soulseek!

Disco Inferno - 5 EPs
Pere Ubu - Dub Housing

[Jawaharal]

deus - Ideal Crash
matsushita electric cassette - this is what happens when you fight a stranger in the alps

the later is like Lighting Bolt discovering a drum machine and a keyboard. Some songs are pretty good but others are just to noisy.

[pixiesfanyo]

M. Ward kicked total *** last night. He ****ing tears it up on guitar.

[RockISdead420]

Ryan Adams - Cold Roses
Neil Young - Zuma

[EightMilesHigh]

John Coltrane - The Ultimate Blue Train

Again.

Those fine african-american gentlemen make good jazz noises.

[asdf]

MX-80 Sound - big Hits EP
Luminescent Orchestrii - Too Hot To Sleep

[Happymeal]

A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner

"The King Is Dead" is all sorts of awesome.

That and the one with Morissey on the title are the only songs I liked on that album. Everything else is meh


His pop phase (Eureka, Insignificance, Halfway to a Threeway, the Loose Fur albums) is like the best thing ever.

Yeah pretty much. And the stuff he did with Sonic Youth and Wilco are excellent. But I guess everyone already knows that.



Wilco - A Ghost is Born

Lacking in many ways, although I find "At Least That's What You Said" and "Theologians" to be real keepers.

[br3ad_man]

good thing i told you to go see him :)


Good thing. His guitarist was the coolest person ever.

[Boilermaker]

Arcade Fire – Funeral.
Just really listening to this for the first time in a while. The first song is sick, but the rest of it doesn’t quite hold up. Still a really great album though.

[Eliminator]

"Crown of Love", "Wake Up", "Haiti" and "In the Backseat" are all as good, if not better, than that song.

[Bukowski]

Wake Up >

anyway, digging:

Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician
Butthole Surfers - Brown Reason to Live
Butthole Surfers - Electriclarryland

Yeah, they're one of the best ever.

[el doctor]

I tried getting Arcade Fire tickets today but all 5 shows sold out pretty much instantly. :(

Can - Future Days
Bob Dylan - The Bootleg Series, Vol. 4: The "Royal Albert Hall" Concert

[mr_jackalope]

"Wake Up" is like the worst song ever, but the rest of the album is totally deec.

[Eliminator]

lol

[bleep_bloop]

ive been digging off minor and i love you but i've chosen darkness

[asymm]

The Bronx - The Bronx II
MC5 - Kick Out the Jams
then I plan on listening to Bee Thousand and reading the corresponding 33 1/3 book I bought on it.

[Boilermaker]

What's the book called?

[Eliminator]

Joanna Newsom - Ys

Still awesome.

J Dilla - Donuts.

Great stuff, even though I listened to it out of order. I like the sampling of the Beastie Boys in one of the songs.

[mr_jackalope]

Boredoms - Super ae

The tribal phase of these guys is basically the best tribal rhythm based music ever made.

[ATM]

Kno (of Cunninlynguists) -The White Album
Miaou - Painted
Maserati - Inventions For the New Season (highly reccomended)
Manu Chao - Clandestino

[asymm]

What's the book called?
Bee Thousand ... it's part of the Continuum book series, 33 1/3. I have a handful already, they're wonderful.

I loving hearing the line, "You mother****ers, I want your bloooooood!" It's been soundtracking my day.

[br3ad_man]

That song rules.

[asymm]

I played it back to back about 4 times in the car today, couldn't get enough.

[Boilermaker]

Well, they are Guided By Voices.

Once you start, you just can't stop.

[asymm]

While that is true, we're talking about a song by the Bronx. The Bronx - "History's Stranglers"

[br3ad_man]

I played it back to back about 4 times in the car today, couldn't get enough.

When I had just gotten my license and was annoyed about going to school, "Shitty Future" was probably my most played car song.

"Wake Up" is one of the best songs on the album, but those other three suck. The first song and "Rebellion" arethe best.

[ATM]

Sam Cooke - Portrait Of a Legend

[Electrocution]

most played car song: Yo La Tengo - Moby Octopad


digging DJ Shadow & Cut Chemist - Brainfreeze Breaks

[NineBitFable]

Q and not U-Different Damage

Other than 'So Many Animal Calls' its a fantastic album. 'Soft Pyramids' has one of the most distinct intros I've ever heard.

[br3ad_man]

most played car song: Yo La Tengo - Moby Octopad

That's probably my second most played.

[AlienEater]

Yo La Tengo - May I Sing With Me

[bleep_bloop]

Funeral Diner - The Underdark

[Rabbi]

Rosewood Thieves- From the Decker EP
Nouvelle Vague- Bande A Part
The Rapture- Pieces of the People We Love
Sean Lennon- Friendly Fire
French Kicks- Two Thousand
Silversun Pickups- Carnavas

And alot of Beatle wannabe bands as well

[PECOAE]

way to pick like, the four worst songs

first song gives me chills always, and the rest of it besides the four aforementioned are always great.

Yeah seriously. All of them, especially Rebellion, Neighborhood 1 and 2, and Haiti, rock.

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

The Velvet Underground - Loaded
Sebadoh - III

Gosh, you sicken me.

Sebadoh - III, they're playing in Boston soon, but alas, it is 18+ :(
I haven't been to a good concert in forever too.

I also like the Sean Lennon album. I'm such a twee nerd :(

[bleep_bloop]

you can usually get into 18+ shows pretty easily.

[Boilermaker]

Not in Boston, when I live in New Hampshire and have strict parents.

[bleep_bloop]

oh.

[Boilermaker]

Oh well...

Now listening to Slint - Spiderland

[Zmev]

Sebadoh are playing here in March with Ted Leo and Midlake.

If I can't go everyone will die.

[br3ad_man]

Sebadoh + Ted Leo + Midlake = a pretty bitchin' show

Any thoughts on the new Madlib/Kweli, Jon?

[JonM]

I haven't heard it. I'm skeptical. Those are both artists that I think are only as good as their collaborators. But I certainly plan on listening at some point.

[Kyle]

Any thoughts on the new Madlib/KweliI think it's tight.

How about you?

[JonM]

What's the deal with the download? I get a 404 error.

[mr_jackalope]

5 Benoît Pioulard 15


This guy is pretty cool, I listened to Precis the other day.

[JonM]

I enjoyed it, but it reminded me of a lot of other records I have that I'd rather listen to. Four Tet, The Books, Caribou/Manitoba, you know.

[asdf]

Skeleton Key - Fantastic Spikes Through Balloon

[Kyle]

What's the deal with the download? I get a 404 error.Me too now :confused: That's wierd, I downloaded it mysef only a few hours ago. Slsk it I guess.

Arrows mean how much an artist has gained or dropped in play.
