What I've Been Digging Lately

[JonM]

Why didn't anybody tell me how dope At War With The Mystics is?

[Zebra]

because it sucks

[JonM]

It does not.

[Jawaharal]

The Cruci****s - S/T

[pixiesfanyo]

It does not.

Man, I'd so drop a good racial slur right now if I wasn't trying to clean up my act.

=(

[Eliminator]

The Cruci****s - S/T

steve shelley was in the cruci****s, right

[Kyle]

Worst song on Funeral is "Haiti". Easily.No f'n way.


Killer record! I love it.yes way.

[Iai]

Yoko Ono - Yes, I'm A Witch
Patrick Wolf - The Magic Position
Yo La Tengo - I Am Not Afraid....

Basically trying to brush up on 2007 albums, and the major 2006 ones I missed. Next up: the new Panda Bear.

[Eliminator]

i hope you don't dislike it like you disliked my favorite album last year

:(

[Tangy zizzle]

Hey Andy. Hows things?

New digs:

Demons Claws - Satan's Little Pet Pig

Also listened to the Deerhunter record but I'm still undecided about it. It's certainly different and a good break from the pap, but I don't know if it's quality. Could be.

[Zmev]

Next up: the new Panda Bear.

Prepare for disappointment

Pretty good, man. I need to find job though.

[sr800bkBassist]

Clikatat Ikatowi never fails to please.

[Robert Crumb]

Brazilian stuff. I'm putting together a list of songs for my radio show, found a lot of new things to love lately. Edu Lobo's "Vento Bravo" is a real great song, gonna open the show with that one. I doubt anyone would care, but if anyone's interested, you can snag the album (self-titled (aka Missa Breve), 1973) and a buncha other cool things from this guy's blog:

http://umquetenha.blogspot.com/search/label/Edu%20Lobo

It's at the bottom.

[Bartender]

Yoko Ono - Yes, I'm A Witch

Your review of that (on RYM) confused me. Sounds interesting though.


I've been re-listening to Bjork over the past couple of days, amongst other things. Reassured myself that Homogenic is my favourite, followed closely by Medulla, actually.

[Boilermaker]

Pixies - Doolittle
Yoko Ono - Yes, Im the Witch
The Doors - S/T

Stuff I've been listening to while im in France. Ill say hi to Jimmy Boy for you all.

[The Jungler]

Cloud Cult - Advice From the Happy Hippopotamus
Arcade Fire - Demos 2001

Cloud Cult is good and fairly easy to review. Arcade Fire is not nearly as good as their later stuff but alright just the same.

[Bukowski]

Jackwacker - Things from Inside Your Body

This is some really trashy, schizo 90s no wave that sounds like it was recorded on a cheap tape recorder in a house garage. It's really great. Like a more lo-fi Lightning Bolt.

[Boilermaker]

Sounds cool, I'll look into that.

The Wipers - Youth of America

[Bukowski]

Wipers, nice one.

It took me like 2 weeks of having Jackwacker on my soulseek wishlist before I found it. I'm gonna upload it to the mailing list soon, so you can check it then.

[Boilermaker]

Groovey. Listened to some songs, sounds interesting.

Me likes.

[Zebra]

Ween - Pure Guava

Pumpin 4 the Man is the best song to sing a long to.

[bleep_bloop]

Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn

[Kage]

Karp sounds like a winner.

[bleep_bloop]

indeed

[asdf]

Sun Ra - Super-Sonic Jazz

Since it's earlier Sun Ra it's not all that weird. It's pretty nice, actually.

[Montana]

Devendra Banhart - Cripple Crow
I knowingly listened to him for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I remember hearing "Chinese Children" on the radio probably six months or more ago and I really liked it but never could figure out who sang it.

Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn

That's a good one. I liked the video for Easy/Lucky/Free, too.

[bleep_bloop]

yeah its a good one mos def, i cant figure out why people hate him so much.

[pulseczar]

King Crimson - Red
Del tha Funkee Homosapien - Both Sides of the Brain

[The Jungler]

Bright Eyes - Digital Ash In A Digital UrnWorst Bright Eyes CD I own, but Easy/Lucky/Free is an amazing song.

[BringHomeTheBacon]

Drive Like Jehu- Yank Crime
Just found out this is fully streamable on last.fm. Great stuff.

[YDload]

and here i am already having downloaded it :(

are there any other albums like that on last.fm that you can stream?? i'm sure i haven't heard most of them if there are more like that

[Zmev]

Maudlin of the Well - Bath

This is pretty good.

[Anxious]

Jackwacker - Things from Inside Your Body

This is some really trashy, schizo 90s no wave that sounds like it was recorded on a cheap tape recorder in a house garage. It's really great. Like a more lo-fi Lightning Bolt.

That sounds to good to be true.


Red House Painters - Down Colorful Hill


There should be a law stating that you can only listen to this at night and through headphones.

[Iai]

I'm kind of not sure what to make of the Panda Bear. It's good, but it's obvious that he's inviting unflattering Pet Sounds comparisons, which is kind of a dumb move.

Shulman - In Search Of A Meaningful Moment is the best non-Shpongle psytrance I've found so far. Wonderful record.

[Robert Crumb]

I'm kind of not sure what to make of the Panda Bear. It's good, but it's obvious that he's inviting unflattering Pet Sounds comparisons, which is kind of a dumb move.

Pretty over self-indulgent, but it's still one of my favorites so far this year.

I downloaded this album called Ou Não by Walter Franco a couple days ago, finally dug into that today. Guy can emote. His voice on the opening track makes me think of Nikki Sudden, all nasally pitched and howling. It's all acoustic though. If you like all that New Weird American freak folk bullshit, you should probably check it out.

[Eliminator]

i think being compared to the beach boys is probably better than being compared to something that sucks

[Sepstrup]

Beck has failed to wow me yet. Sea Change is meh and Odelay is alright.

I'm thinking that Midnite Vultures might be where it's at (lol pun). "Sexx Laws" is awesome. I'll try that album.

[Bartender]

Unfortunately Midnite Vultures is terrible. "Sexx Laws" is fantastic, but it's pretty much the only good thing on the album.

[ATM]

Mellow Gold is cool.

[br3ad_man]

Sea Change is the only Beck album I really got into

[pulseczar]

Midnite Vultures is one of his best.

[Kage]

King Crimson - The Power To Believe

[Zebra]

Midnite Vultures is amazing.

[The Jungler]

Sea Change is probably my favorite. I still need Midnite Vultures though.

Lily Allen - Alright, Still

Such a fun album.

[Zebra]

Sparklehorse - Good Morning Spider

This is in my top 10 for my favorite 90's albums. Linkous is such an amazing songwriter.

[The Jungler]

Sparklehorse - Good Morning Spider

This is in my top 10 for my favorite 90's albums. Linkous is such an amazing songwriter.I listened to on Sparklehorse album once, it was good but didn't really make me want to listen to anymore.

[perriwinkle]

yeah personally i thought Sparklehorse was a little bit boring the first time i listened to them, except Piano Fire.

ive been playin Drive Like Jehu S/t a lot lately

[AlienEater]

Pitchfork - Eucalyptus

First band with John Reis and Rick Froberg in (Drive like Jehu/Hot Snakes). It's pretty good

[perriwinkle]

that sounds sweet would you mind putting that on album trading

[AlienEater]

I can't be bothered right now

maybe later, although it seems unlikely

so basically, no, I'm not going to

[perriwinkle]

ok then whats your aim

[Boilermaker]

I don't think he likes you enough to give it to you.

[Zmev]

Dethklok - Metalocalypse

I can't wait for Dethalbum

[asymm]

Denzel + Huhn - Paraport
Shining - Grindstone

[Boilermaker]

Sebadoh - III
Dinosaur Jr. - Ear Bleeding Country

Imma gettin' my Lou on.

[Zmev]

The Ponys - Turn the Lights Out

[BringHomeTheBacon]

and here i am already having downloaded it :(

are there any other albums like that on last.fm that you can stream?? i'm sure i haven't heard most of them if there are more like that
There's a ton of streamable Bjork tracks and I think Sigur Ros's Von. I'm sure there's more than that though.

[Jawaharal]

Jedi Mind Tricks - Servants In Heaven, Kings In Hell
the rap solo on Uncommon Valor is sick, too bad the album is inconsistent

[YDload]

Sea Change is the only Beck album I really got into

thats because its boring and folksy (much like your FACE haha)

[mick7]

Muse - Black Holes and Revelations
Sarah Blasko - The Sea Will Have Her Way

[The Jungler]

Clipse - Hell Hath No FuryI'm not really sure whether I like this or not. That track with Pharrel was a really good single though.

[Eliminator]

that is the worst song.

[The Jungler]

Worse than Wamp Wamp?

[sr800bkBassist]

that new Beck single is one of the worst songs ever.

[La Revolucion]

No I like that song.

[EightMilesHigh]

Converge - Jane Doe

Friday night metalcore.

[perriwinkle]

harry "the hipster" gibson is the ****in man

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

[br3ad_man]

Autechre - Amber

thats because its boring and folksy (much like your FACE haha)

And the rest of his stuff is boring and lame.

[Kyle]

The Ponys - Turn the Lights OutI'm digging this.

New Stooges album leaked also. Listening now, not sure what to make of it yet.

[Bukowski]

The Stooges - The Weirdness

This is bad.

[Boilermaker]

Well, it was a bad idea to have any expectations for it in the first place.

[pixiesfanyo]

Death - The Sound of Perseverance

This album reminds me of why I have a dick.


(for those that don't know it is so I can rock.)

[perriwinkle]

you should listen to Possessed by Venom

but you probably won't because my taste sucks

you should though

[Eliminator]

venom are ****ing horrible

[perriwinkle]

why do i bother

[Boilermaker]

dude. Yea they do.

np: Minutemen - x2notD

[Boilermaker]

Have fun being confused with those two.

[pixiesfanyo]

why do i bother

did you seriously just suggest Venom?

http://www.earthshaker-fest.com/img/misc/Artists/venom_band01.jpg

[asdf]

Shockabilly and other Eugene Chadbourne stuff.

What a weirdo. I can't wait until my Camper Van Chadbourne album is done downloading.

[ATM]

Just bought Chapterhouse - Whirlpool for 3 bucks. I was really close to buying a Sebadoh album too but wanted to save my money.

Then I had a handful of CD's to check out from the library and the damn system was down. They had so much good stuff.

[Anxious]

The Stooges - The Weirdness

This is bad.

Where'd you find that? I can't find it on OiNK...

[Kayetan]

Christ - Blue Shift Emissions

[Kyle]

Where'd you find that? I can't find it on OiNK...It's on albumbase.

It's not great, has some moments I guess but is pretty lame for the most part..

[Neoteric]

This Venom:

Anyway, I bought Elliott Smith's Roman Candle today. It's pretty good.

[YDload]

if i was going to get a Paul Westerberg album which one would i get??

[Boilermaker]

Anyway, I bought Elliott Smith's Roman Candle today. It's pretty good.

Stop trying to restore your cred you silly goose.

EDIT - oops I thought you were perriwinkle, my bad man :(

if i was going to get a Paul Westerberg album which one would i get??

14 songs prolly.

[sr800bkBassist]

http://www.myspace.com/mtgigantic

not bad. The drums on the fourth track are great.

i prefer Abe Froman. all the offshoots of that band end up boring me for some reason.

[EightMilesHigh]

Red House Painters - Ocean Beach

[YDload]

14 songs prolly.

ok but what if the only one i saw at the store was Suicaine Gratification? would that one work too?

[Boilermaker]

Yea, that one is good, but not as good as 14 Songs.

IMO it's hard to go wrong with Westerberg. I'd buy it.

[Sepstrup]

Guillemots - Through The Window Pane

This album is fantastic. Up there with the best of 2006. "Blue Would Still Be Blue" could've been cut for my sake ("If I had you all the stars wouldn't fall from the sky / and the moon wouldn't start to cry" - Come on...), but it's lucky he's a really good singer.

[Kyle]

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

[Bukowski]

Where'd you find that? I can't find it on OiNK...

http://ysi.proboards25.com/index.cgi

got it from this ysi forum.

Unwound - New Plastic Ideas
Pixies - Come on Pilgrim

[Zmev]

Cows - Whorn

The riff in the back of "A Oven" sounds like "European Son".

[Dave de Sylvia]

J Dilla - Donuts

This is so good.

[Zmev]

Adding entire collection onto RYM.

Oh wait this sucks and is a pain in the ***, not to mention a bad usage of time before work.

[sr800bkBassist]

which Paul Westerberg album has the least country/blues crap on it?
like maybe something more melodic?

[YDload]

country/blues isnt melodic??

[Dave de Sylvia]

His most recent one is the Open Season soundtrack, which is his most poppy since it's aimed at kids, but it still holds up for us semi grown ups. Talking Heads are on it too. Otherwise, Suicaine Gratification is pretty much just him and an acoustic guitar or piano, really bare, plus a couple of punk tracks for good measure.

edit: but yeah if you want melodic you should probably just get some metal

[sr800bkBassist]

country/blues isnt melodic??

well, in the sense of the Pleased to Meet Me album, for example, where you have songs like "Alex Chilton", "Can't Hardly Wait", and "Nevermind" where it's just really good melodies, just really strong rock tracks.

and then on that album there are songs like "Shooting Dirty Pool", "IOU" and "I Don't Know" where it's just overly "rockin" and almost cheesy. like it makes me picture a 40 year old guy in sunglasses who tries to grow his hair long even though he's balding and drives a corvette. it justlacks the anthemic sound of songs like "Bastards of Young" where there's no "foot-stompin", just really really powerful music.

[Happymeal]

J Dilla - Donuts

This is so good.

Mmm yeah. Especially "Time: The Donut of the Heart". I could listen to that for hours.

Roxy Music - Country Life

Apparently they're releasing a new album this year with the original lineup (including Brian Eno), so I'm definitely looking out for that one.

[Dave de Sylvia]

14 Songs is the most country/blues of his albums! Don't listen to Nacho, he posts in the Pit and they've gotten to him :(

[asdf]

Camper Van Chadbourne Self Titled

Awesome.

[Little Man being Erased]

Just picked up and currently diggin':

Blur - Parklife

John Zorn atm.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

I like this more every time I listen to it.

Disorder is a really creepy song.

[Zebra]

Black Moon - Enta da Stage

Almost as good as Illmatic.

[AlienEater]

John Fahey - America

[Dave de Sylvia]

SOP maybe you have an album called 1 Song and that song is called "Things", because otherwise calling that album country/blues is craziness.
calling any of his albums country/blues is craziness! :(

[The Jungler]

Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

still awesome, but I have no idea how they're gonna follow it. Both this and Funeral sound like the kind of huge, grand statement album that a band's only supposed to make once, but they made it twice, so upping the ante will probably be too difficult. The only thing they can do now is an acoustic album or something.How about Electronica a la Kid A?

[Eliminator]

I didn't think they could do anything great after Funeral and they proved me wrong.

The organ sound on the album is really good. Generally the production is. It has a sort of mushy, dense sound in comparison to Funeral and it seems to work really well.

They'll probably lean more towards post-rock. I can hear a lot of that influence in some of the guitar parts, like in "No Cars Go" and such. Definitely not straight-up stuff, but their will be an influence there. Or they'll go Bright Eyes and make more stripped down stuff after getting to grandiose for their own good.

[Jacaranda]

so one wonders where he could find this new arcade fire. or one wonders if one could upload it for one on one mailing list.

[The Jungler]

Does anyone know if the version of No Cars Go on Neon Bible is the same as the one on the early EP?

I haven't listened to the Neon Bible version yet, but the EP version ruled.

[The Jungler]

the Neon Bible version is a lot better. The production is better of course, it's more confident, louder, more spirited, etc. Listen to it.Meh, I'll probably just wait for the album to officially release.

I'm not big on leaks, namely because I suck at sendspace etc.

[Eliminator]

Murs - The End of the Beginning

There's some really good stuff on this. A lot of dull tracks too.

[pixiesfanyo]

I don't see the big deal about Neon Bible.

I'll put it on and see if I disagree.

[pixiesfanyo]

it's good.

Yeah, it is a solid indie album.

But is there really anything on it that makes it special?

I thought Funeral was a special record when I first heard it but as time went on it just revealed itself to be a typical indie statement behind a few bells and whistles. Neon Bible felt like that the first time I heard it.

[Eliminator]

Funeral really isn't an album that is special or unique in it's instrumentation or songwriting, but for me everything seems to work in just the right way to make me feel something.

I don't really listen to it as much as I used to though. Rarely, even more so now.

Arve Henriksen - Strjon
Another excellent release from Henriksen. He's been progressing considerably with each. This one is characterized by his strong inclusion of the darker electronics/production from Helge Sten. While this is definitely not post-rock, fans of it should seek Henriksen out for his atmosphere and grandiose arc.

I knew you would say something like that :(

I'm listening to the new Arcade Fire now. Seems good, Interventions is an awesome song.

[Boilermaker]

I liked Guero.

[Robert Crumb]

The Association - And Then... Along Comes the Association

[Bukowski]

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime
Minutemen - The Politics of Time
Kylie Minoise - A Beginner's Guide To Human Suspension!
Tetsuo - David Keenan is my Dick

Storm In My House is my favourite Minutemen song, as of now.

[Bukowski]

Michael Gira is in Angels of Light, right? Any good?

[Refl]

Modest Mouse - WWDBTSES
Shins - Wincing the Night Away

Also just getting back into Sikth again after not listening for a while, the Trees album crushes.

[Zmev]

16 Horsepower - Low Estate

:cool:

[BillCosby]

Modest Mouse - We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

Today at the library I got:

Hound Dog Taylor and the HouseRockers - Natural Boogie
Tower of Power - Best Of
Velvet Underground - Loaded
Iggy Pop - Nude and Rude

[The Jungler]

Wilco - Summerteeth
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible
Jonny Greenwood - Bodysong

The Arcade Fire and Wilco CD's are both really great, and the Jonny Greenwood is really good for reading to, but kind of boring overall.

THIS IS A LONG DRIVE FOR SOMEONE WITH A STICK IN THEIR BUTT

seriously sweet cd though

[sr800bkBassist]

Defiance, Ohio - "Share What Ya Got"

never fails. EVER. unfortunately none of their recordings sound as passionate and intense after seeing them live.

[Anxious]

I hate that band so much.

[The Jungler]

Panda Bear - Bro's

I just noticed my music service had this single.

So good.

[sr800bkBassist]

[metalicajaymz]

I am setting up shop here and probably not leaving this thread for any purpose

Fred Deakin - The Triptych

three-disc box set of random crap selected by the guy from Lemon Jelly, just assembled because he likes it. Hoping to find new stuff.

[Zmev]

65 Days of Static - The Fall of Math

Still excellent.

[The Antique]

Ry Cooder - Chavez Ravine

I like One Time For All Time better.

[The Antique]

Cannibal Ox - The Cold Vein

[Zmev]

Air - Pocket Symphony

I used to not like One Hell of a Party, now its pretty good.

[Jawaharal]

Melvins - Stoner Witch

Melvins kick *** and take names

[Dave de Sylvia]

Angels of Mons - Last of the Dead Empires

Cool name, decent band. Seattle power pop with a heavy Bowie disposition.

[Robert Crumb]

I just wanna listen to Electric Warrior all day and crush my ego like a lunch-sized bag of baked lays.

[Jacaranda]

So intense. Dopethrone is a great great great album.

[Zebra]

Wire - Pink Flag

It's great even though I can't understand a word that the Newman says.

[Zmev]

Air - Moon Safari

Its an Air day.

[ATM]

DJ Format - If You Can't Join 'Em, Beat 'Em

[asdf]

Pinback - Nautical Antiques

It's okay. Really nothing special. Summer in Abaddon is better.

[perriwinkle]

actually i listen to Pinback a lot and i think the songs on Nautical Antiques are better. they all took longer to sink in for me but i think theres much more substance in all of the tracks in Nautical Antiques than in SUmmer in Abaddon. granted the latter has better production because it was made five years later after the band gained more momentum but i mean come on... listen to Anti Hu again. ****ing amazing song.

i think the Arrive Having Eaten ep beats both

[asdf]

I'm sure I'll give it another try.

[The Antique]

Heroin - Discography

solid mid '90s emo. if you're into that, you'd dig.

[Matt?]

low, afghan whigs, red house painters, starflyer 59, galaxie 500

anyone have any suggestions of bands similar to any of them?

[Zebra]

the twilight singers are really similar to the afghan whigs.

[The Antique]

the twilight singers are really similar to the afghan whigs.

lol

[bleep_bloop]

pinback sucks

[Matt?]

lol

[The Antique]

[bleep_bloop]

if you dont know sun kil moon you're not alt/indie

[The Antique]

if you dont know sun kil moon you're not alt/indie

[Matt?]

[The Antique]

[Matt?]

[The Antique]

American Music Club

Currently digging Patti Smith's Radio Ethiopia. I gave the new Ted Leo a spin. Didn't really hold my attention. Seems like there are some cool songs, but I dunno. Felt the same about Shake the Sheets save for "Me and Mia" which is kinda undeniable. I'm sure dei hates it.

Radio Ethiopia is good stuff, though. The middle ground between Horses and Easter. First side can't match up the the brilliance of the second, though. "Pumping (My Heart)" -> "Distant Fingers" -> "Radio Ethiopia" is such a fantastic little trinity. I really want this album on CD but I think it's oop or something. Gonna listen to Gavin Bryar's Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet.

[Matt?]

yeah already got the american music club goin.

[Robert Crumb]

Maybe some (Smog) or something if you haven't heard his stuff, I dunno.

[Matt?]

maybe i've heard it all

[The Antique]

get Smile From The Streets You Hold by John Frusciante that's depressing as ****.

[Robert Crumb]

maybe i've heard it all

Or maybe at least all that's worth listening to. Listen to their influences. I dunno, a lot of this sadsack **** ain't really my bag.

I was doing the compare to allmusic thing and now all of a sudden, I'm listening to Bone Thugs.

[pulseczar]

Masta Killa - No Said Date
The RZA - Afro Samurai Soundtrack

No Said Date is way better than i expected

[bleep_bloop]

his hero is gone - monuments to thieves

[sr800bkBassist]

Moss Icon- Moss Icon/Silver Bearing Split (but only the MI part)
Clikatat Ikatowi- Orchestrated and Conducted By

[asymm]

Taylor Deupree - Northern
Minimalist electronic-wash from label head of 12K. Pretty great. Just ordered a few other releases from the label, pretty excited to hear them.

[The Antique]

Cynic - Focus

To think people made this is just ridiculous. It is so out of control how talented the members of this band were.

[ATM]

Hey Crumb, do you listen to Sunforest?

[Boilermaker]

Birthday Party - Hee Haw
Slint - Spiderland
