What I've Been Digging Lately

[Tangy zizzle]

Ok so heres a semi-new idea for a thread. Basically, you just post what ever song,album or artist you have really been liking at the moment. If it's a new band you could put a little bit about them, good songs etc...

So if this works well enough, we could maybe get it sticky'd ( Nacho? ).

Well, a cool new(ish) band I've been listening to alot lately is These Arms Are Snakes . They are a post-hardcore,art punky band who have one EP out called This is Mean to Hurt You.

Good songs to check out would be:

The Blue Rose
Drinking From the Necks of Loved Ones
Run it Through the Dog
Riding the Grape Dragon

---------------------------------------

I have been listening to Neil Young's Rust Never Sleeps alot lately and have come to the conclusion that it is my favourite Neil Young album. Definately check it out!

---------------------------------------

Television - Friction is one incredible song. Ahead of it's time.


If you guys think this is a shitty idea for a thread just say so. If not, update with new stuff whenever you feel the need.

[br3ad_man]

I'm digging Mike Patton, My Bloody Valentine and the Melvins.


haha, Mr. Bungle are the funniest band

Some good songs could be:
Beergut
Alchoholic
Another Generation
Ma & Pa
Check them out.
I'll update this weekly.

[Tangy zizzle]

I find this thread very interesting because people's answers will always very, unlike all of the "who is the best..., who is the worst..., "what bands are like...", threads.

That's why I decided to post this thread, because I want to see what everyone else is listening to, not just their favourites but just stuff they dig and think others would like.

[gaslight]

Today I'm very much into In Flames.

[Tangy zizzle]

^^Hehe, start off at the melodic death metal. Soon you'll be enjoying the likes of Between the Buried and Me, Carcass and Cryptopsy.

[domestic2]

I've been getting into Air, Franz Ferdinand and Hilltop Hoods lately.

I downloaded a few songs off the new Liars album and am considering buying it.

[lucy_is_short_for_lucifer]

W00t for Pixies! And if you don't know them, try the album Death To The Pixies, especially Holiday Song, which is (IMHO) brilliant.
I've also been listening to Queen Adreena ("alternative" and ethereal). Songs to hear: Friday's Child and Soda Dreamer.
"Hi, I'm new to this forum!" btw. Just in case you cared :)

[thetwaz]

welcome to Alt/Indie Lucy :)

more quality shizznit:

I'm quite an Idlewild fan, so I'll reccomend some of their stuff. Their earlier albums are more punk, nowadays they're more indieish.

Albums-
The Remote Part
100 Broken Windows
Hope Is Important
Captain (EP)

Songs (2 from each album, quite interesting to see the difference.)-
You Held The World In Your Arms
I Never Wanted
Roseability
These Wooden Ideas
4 People Do Good
You Don't Have The Heart
Annihilate Now! (sp?)
Self Healer

[asymm]

Yesterday I found this cool little shop that has a relatively decent selection of indie stuff...so I picked up:

PJ Harvey - Rid Of Me
and
Franz Ferdinand - Franz Ferdinand

Both great albums, I'm loving them

[StreetlightRock]

Streetlight Manifesto


Brian Setzar Orchestra
Stray Cats...

[moderaterock222]

The Delays - Faded Seaside Glamour
I've heard Bedroom Syndication (I think that's what it's called) on a free CD with a magazine and like it. What's the album like?

[neal_672]

I've heard Bedroom Syndication (I think that's what it's called) on a free CD with a magazine and like it. What's the album like?

The songs called Bedroom Scene. It's fantastic, it's really mellow and the guy has a fantastic range within his voice. I really really recommend it, it can get slightly samey on a few tracks but for what they're doing it's refreshingly different to be honest.

Recommended songs:

Long Time Coming
Nearer Than Heaven
There's Water Here

[mi_nombre]

the kills "keep on your mean side" lp (cat claw, f'uck the people, black rooster, wait)
yeah yeah yeahs "fever to tell" lp (date with the night, modern romance, maps, black tongue)

[OPIV]

Miles Davis - Kind of Blue (the 3 songs i've heard from it, anyway)

So What?
All Blues
Blue and Green

I definitely plan to buy this album the next time I'm out, along with:
Pixies - Surfer Rosa or Dolittle
Unwound - Repetition
Death Cab for Cutie - The Photo Album or Transatlanticism
The Mars Volta - DeLoused in the Comatorium
The Flaming Lips - Transmissions from the Satellite Heart

[Tangy zizzle]

the kills "keep on your mean side" lp (cat claw, f'uck the people, black rooster, wait)

Good Choice.

I've recently(2 weeks ago) discovered Gang of Four. They are a very cool band. Kind of like Post-Punk/ Proto Dance Punk. I'm liking them very very much

[Tomahawk]

In the past few days I've been listening to Midnight Oil. They're well known in Australia, but probably nowhere else. They've been around since the 70s, it's rock music I guess but they definitely have their own sound. They have fairly political lyrics, mainly about the treatment of Aboriginies in Australia and stuff like that. I never really liked them until I saw a clip of them live the other day, and it blew me away so I got their greatest hits, and it's pretty good.

If you wanna check them out, try "US Forces", "Blue Sky Mine", and "Beds are Burning".

[-El Hefe-]

I've been listening to The (International) Noise Conspiracy lately. (Mainly becuase they're coming to SA soon. :) )

Dennis Lyxzen from Refused is their singer. :thumb:

If you haven't heard them a few good songs are:

Up for Sale
A Northwest Passage
Breakout 2001
Added: Bigger Cages, Longer Chains

These are off A New Morning, Changing Weather. It's the only one I have at the time. :upset:

:eek: 2,000th post. I'm glad it was a good one. :)

[Phunphone]

I found loads of Return to Forever and Bob Marley records in my dad's tapes, and Porcupine Tree; it hasn't been an hour since I bought In Avsentia, and I'm impressed.

[moderaterock222]

Ive also been totally diggin the cinematic orchetra's 'every day' record.

Check out:

-everyday
-all things to all men
-burn out

[mi_nombre]

i just started listening to dylan. now i have both his and the white stripes version of "one more cup of coffee" in my head. and i LOVE both of them

[wheelz]

explosions in the sky - memorial
explosions in the sky - your hand in mine
prefuse 73 - when irony wears thin

franz ferdinand - take me out
burning brides - arctic snow
blackalicious - make you feel that way
badly drawn boy - born again

I love them all so much. But thats basically all I've been listening to....plus some Fishbone. Gotta have some Fishbone.

[Xhosas]

Just to add to The (international) noise conspiracy above ^^,
Definitely try to listen to:
T(I)NC - Capitalism Stole My Virginity

Its by far their best song


Lately Ive really gotten into the electro-punk/rock sound and I definetly recommend some of these tracks to listen to:

Gerling - Blood on the microphone pt. 1
Gerling - Who's your daddy?
Goodshirt - Green
Goodshirt - Blowing Dirt
Radiohead - Anything on Kid A

And if anyone outside Australia would like to hear what Australian Hip Hop sounds like, I recommend:

Hilltop Hoods - Nosebleed Section
The Herd - 76%
1200 Techniques - Karma

[Tangy zizzle]

Someone else on this Earth has heard of the Cows.

Hey! I like the Cows!

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to Pinkerton, which is a masterpiece. I had it laying around for two years, and now I finally picked it up, and it's great.

Yeah, that one is genius...too underrated (eg. Worst Album Of The Year in Rolling Stone)

[wheelz]

anything off prefuse 73's uprock studies and vocal narritives album...

finally got it today, i think i just might prefer it to one word extinguisher. and i clearly was a big fan of that one.

[Jexploder]

I've really been digging :
Buckethead
The Stone Roses
...and of course Led Zep and Floyd.

[br3ad_man]

^^ How come all the new people on Alt. and Indie are cool, but all the Rock and Metal ones are stupid? I love this forum.

[The Cameo Role]

I just picked up Woody Guthrie- The Asch Recordings Vol. 1, it's kick ***. I've been listening to that and a lot of Bob Dylan lately. I've also been digging Jane's Addiction- Nothing's Shocking and Miles Davis- Bitches Brew. Whoever asked for Jazz-Rock should check that out.

[OrbDragon]

Lately I've been into this cool swedish band called Motorpsycho my singer has introduced me to...they are great. I think I might buy one of their cd's soon. I've also been listening to:

Ani DiFranco - Evolve
Manu Chao - Clandestino
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads
Flaming Lips - Transmissions From The Satellite Heart
DJ Shadow - The Private Press
Frank Zappa - Sheik Yerbouti
Joni Mitchell - Hejira
Pink Floyd - PULSE
Radiohead - Amnesiac
Calexico - Feast Of Wire


Nacho: (If you haven't already) you should definately check out Motorpsycho...they up yer alley I think. It's really hard edged, yet abstract rock music. But you prolly already heard of them :lol:

[bluebomber27]

u guys gotta check out my friends band
www.purevolume.com/silencethroughinjustice
they are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

[KazooVirtuoso]

I just got done listening to Calexico's new EP "Convict Pool". Slightly different, but pretty good. Other than that, lately I've been hip to the sounds of:

27 - Animal Life (just discovered them yesterday)
Tomahawk - Mit Gas
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye
RATM - s/t (mainly cause I'm learning bass and it's easy and fun to play along to)
Mastodon - Remission
Enon - High Society

[Tangy zizzle]

I just got done listening to Calexico's new EP "Convict Pool". Slightly different, but pretty good.

I've read reviews on this. They've been sayin' it's another very solid effort from the guys. Seems Calexico can't really do any wrong! What's the EP like?

[OrbDragon]

Calexico are god. They will also release a new record this year...it's called "Gilbert".

[Tangy zizzle]

I have to order all my Calexico CD's. Damn music stores here don't carry stuff like that.

[Tangy zizzle]

Kaada - Thank You For Giving Me Your Valuable Time has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

[pendrightheloved1]

Lately i've been listening to ALOT of sonic youth, pixies as usual, built to spill and getting back to alot of aphex twin and fatboy slim

cds i've been listening to to go to sleep are:
Velvet Underground - white light/white heat
AIR - Moon safari
Smiths - Greatest hits.

btw i never really liked the cows

[wheelz]

Represent. Man, that's gonna be a great album.

I'm listening to Pinkerton, which is a masterpiece. I had it laying around for two years, and now I finally picked it up, and it's great.

i've done that a few times, it's such a good feeling. i'd get a cd, not really like it the first time through and forget about it. then a long time later i'd hear something good about it, go back and listen, and just really get into it. it's fun to do.

and i hope the new mission of burma is great, i hadn't heard of them before coming here but i've become a fan.

[NakedRaygun872]

Tangy zizzle and Nacho have turned me to Mission Of Burma.
I've been converted :)

[immune_rocker]

Band I've Been Diggin:

Hot Hot Heat -Check out their entire album Make Up The Break Down, head over to subpop.com

Steriogram -They're awesome. The dude talks so fast he'd make Busta Rhymes ashamed!

10 Minutes Down -Local Ska band, if you're into that go to their site 10minutesdown.com

Anti-Flag -Great political punk. Their newest album is The Terror State

Alien Crime Sydicate -Out of Seattle, should be releaseing a new album soon. Check out the song Ozzy, I belive you can download it on KaZaZ or something.

Chixdiggit -Great poppunk style band. Pretty humorus lyrics, nothing serious.

The Breifs -Like ^^^ old fashioned good time punk rock.

Vendetta Red -Shatterday is an awesome song, quite a few months old now though.

Phantom Planet -Great band. They do the OC's theme California. They've got a new single out Big Brat, which I think is better than California.

Temple Of The Dog -Tribute band to Andrew Wood, consists of Veddar, Cornell, Gossard, and Ament. Only one CD back in 1990 and is great, defenintly for any Pearl Jam/Soundgarden Fan

Travis -Check out Re-Offender.

Justin Riner Project -Against a wall and texas are both good songs. Check out their website for more. http://www.popbandalice.com/jrproject/

I hope I'm not missing out.

[incubliss]

my album of the week has to be.

Codeseven - The Rescue
Incubus A Crow Left of the Murder

The Rescue

anyway, that's all from me.

[br3ad_man]

Holy Jesus! I just got into two incredible bands...one is called "Ozric Tentacles"...they are an amazing prog/experimental/space-rock band from the 70's. The other one is "The Tea Party"...a friend let me listen to their latest cd, and it's phenomenal.

[neal_672]

I've been listening to a lot more RATM and also the von bondies and the delays

[br3ad_man]

Yesterday I bought

Zwan- Mary Star Of The Sea
Jeff Buckley- Grace
Green Day- Warning
Moby- Play


Zwan was the most refreshing thing I've heard in ages, it was especially nice to hear Billy Corgan singing without his whiney voice (although I like his whiney voice). I'm listening to Jeff Buckley now.....anyone else have any of the other albums?

[Tangy zizzle]

Posted by NachoChez
I'm getting into Can, who are awesome. Experimental/prog/psychedelic band from the 60's and 70's. They sound way ahead of their time.

Too ****en right!

Can are an excellent band. They had some seriously badass grooves!

[AK47]

Recently I've been diggin the Dead Milkmen and The Pixies.

[Doctor D.]

I'm getting into Can, who are awesome. Experimental/prog/psychedelic band from the 60's and 70's. They sound way ahead of their time.

I too am listening to Can, and I enjoy it. Also I am getting into The Pixies, I bought Doolittle a while ago and never got around to listening to it...I did the other day, and wow.

Also, my freind lent me the new Modest Mouse, which I am listening to right now, as I type this out in a very un-important class.

[Tomahawk]

At the moment I'm listening to a lot the Cure, mainly the album "Disintigration". The song "Fascination Street" is so great. Also I've been revisiting my love for the Pixies, because I got their B-sides album.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Jeff Buckley- Grace

You are a lucky, lucky boy. I remember when I first fell in love with this album.

Get Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk next, its a 2cd collection of his demos, ranging from basic 4 tracks to full band demos. Grace was the only album he ever completed. Then get the Live At L'Olympia album, he's great live.(Or perhaps Live at Sine É - the only one I dont have but am impressed so far).

Fascination Street is among my fave Cure songs too, its amazing.

[Irish Nostalgic]

Lately I've been listning to the Best of John Lee Hooker.

fantastic man, fantastic music.

[grungeguitarist]

This thread has greatly increased my musical vocubulary, thanks.

Cheers for the advice. It's an awesome album, I'll be reviewing it soon.

To Irish Nastalgic: John Lee Hooker is a great blues artist, one of my favourites.

[el doctor]

Lately I've been listening to Asobi Seksu. They're a semi-local band from NYC with some experimental influences, electronic sounding beats, and hard riffs. For a lack of better words, they just have a cool indie sound.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

Avalanches
Starlight Mints
African Tribal Music

[OPIV]

At the Drive-In and CCR are on my playlist at the moment

[Tangy zizzle]

Wilco - A Ghost is Born has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

[myiaa]

I've been listening to Sufjen Stevens "That Dress Looks Nice On You" all week.

[andrea]

bought an interpol cd and a ben folds cd recently

I'm in love with ben folds
holy ****, he is amazing

[Doctor D.]

I've been listening to The Residents alot lately, and today, after not being able to find a singl e CD by them, I found a DVD of all their videos, with alt. versions of each song. It's really amazing. They are the weridest of the werid.

[StreetlightRock]

Combat 84 - average Oi/skin sorta band. only actually like two songs, the rest sound sorta the same.

DVG.

[Natattack87]

Yeah, I'm definitally into Metric...their song "Combat Baby" kicks major ars!

[wheelz]

Yesterday I bought

Zwan- Mary Star Of The Sea
Jeff Buckley- Grace
Green Day- Warning
Moby- Play


Zwan was the most refreshing thing I've heard in ages, it was especially nice to hear Billy Corgan singing without his whiney voice (although I like his whiney voice). I'm listening to Jeff Buckley now.....anyone else have any of the other albums?

i'm a huge fan of moby's play cd. blues/electronica/ambient techno stuff. there's some really good songs on there.

"inside" is probably my personal fave.

[Jomabe]

Been listening to 'Broken Social Scene' lately, something like 10 members...intense...not too hard though.

Also, 'Sensefield - Dreams, 'The Shins - anything off 'chutes too narrow' and 'The Dismemberment Plan - first anniversary of your last phone call' - all great indie

[Jomabe]

^^ How come all the new people on Alt. and Indie are cool, but all the Rock and Metal ones are stupid? I love this forum.

Yea, seriously you're right br3ad. I'm new here, been checking out a lot of threads, and it just seems like everyone's chill...no assholic behaviour like on punk boards...guess good music taste brings good moods :thumb:

[faceless name]

starflyer 59 ... i'm rediscovering an old love
for newer stuff...
ester drang (the amazing new indie band that drones me to sleep every night)
dead poetic
eisley
the rocket summer
haste the day
all good stuff, for me at least.

[_Chip_]

The Pixies - Doolittle (album)
Nirvana - Bleech (album)
Muse - absolution (album).. still listening to fairly often, my fave album of 2003.

[el doctor]

Zwan- Mary Star Of The Sea
Jeff Buckley- Grace
Green Day- Warning
Moby- Play

All very good albums. :) I remember the first time I listened to Grace. Such an amazing feeling, I actually just downloaded some old studio performances last night on STG.

Lately I've been listening to Spoon more than usual.

[JonM]

I'm addicted to The Notwist's Neon Golden. Such a beautiful blend of technologically advanced electronica and primitive, unidentifiable stringed instruments. This album and The Postal Service's Give Up are stuck in my head more than anything that I can remember ever was. It's just the perfect combination of music that would sound great on its own and beautiful vocals delivered by unconventional voices.

[Tangy zizzle]

At the moment I have a bad craving for Led Zeppelin.

*Puts Remasters in the player*

Craving fixed!

[br3ad_man]

haha, I need to listen to Zeppelin sometime, haven't listened to them for months.

[BWD]

Muse. I Really like the song 'Running Out Of Time'. I just bought absolution. :thumb:

[LoveBuzzed]

Zakk Wylde and his Black Label Society is pretty much all Ive been listening to lately. His mostly acoustic album, Book of Shadows, is ****ing awesome as well as his heavier stuff like Sonic Brew and 1919 Eternal.

[br3ad_man]

I'm listening to The Cure and I've also been pulling out my old Nirvana cds. I recently bought the Coldplay DVD, Singles Collected by R.E.M., Frogstomp by Silverchair and Pocket Full Of Kryptonite by the Spin Doctors (The las two only because they were a really good price)

[Tangy zizzle]

I got The Jesus Lizard EP today. I'm quite stoked with it, I'm pretty sure it's quite hard to come by. It's not an overly-good release, but it's an alright listen.

[OPIV]

i've been watching the Lovitt Transmissions DVD and the Radiohead - Meeting People is Easy DVD

[br3ad_man]

^^^^ What is the Meeting People DVD like? Is it really good? Is there much "bad stuff" in it? I'm thinking of buying it.

[TheClashing]

Yeah, I've been meaning to pick it up. Its a documentary, correct?

Well, I'm listening to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club right now.

[Tangy zizzle]

Johnny Cash - American Recordings has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

The Kills = :thumb:

[Tomahawk]

Lately I've been listening to the Smiths a lot, mainly the album "The Queen is Dead" and a few songs that I downloaded. They're really good, I already want to buy another one of their albums.

Also I've been listening to a band called Naked City, this John Zorn avante-garde band. They were a definite influence on Fantomas, so if you like Fantomas then check out Naked City.

And I've been listening to "Grace" by Jeff Buckley.

[radianteclipse]

I'm a big metal head usually, but lately I have gotten into Death Cab for Cutie, The Lovers, Bright Eyes, etc.

[OPIV]

^^^^ What is the Meeting People DVD like? Is it really good? Is there much "bad stuff" in it? I'm thinking of buying it.

It's pretty much a documentary on OK Computer and their 1997-1998 tour. There's a lot of interviews with the band and clips from some of the shows, and really that's about it, with the exception of some "arty" footage that's reminiscent of parts of the Fugazi Instrument video. There's also some footage of Radiohead in the studio. As for "bad stuff", there's some footage of Thom Yorke with a wine bottle and the dreaded eff-word a few times, if that's what you meant by "bad stuff".

[Anjuli]

I've been listening to Cap'n Jazz and Bjork lately. And A Perfect Circle.

[br3ad_man]

[BillCosby]

I finally got into Modest Mouse, and I've been on a Bowie fix recently (even though I've liked him for the longest time) which may have something to do with seeing him live last friday. :)

[thechief_ff]

Full Frequency has just completed there new website with an All-New Forum, Fan Page, Audio Samples, CD's and T-Shirts on sale at the store. Check it out at http://www.fullfrequencymusic.com. Be sure to purchase your copy of "Insdie Madison". The CD Release party is scheduled for June 2nd @ the House of Blues-Anaheim w/Orgy and Godhead.

[wheelz]

I finally got into Modest Mouse

heh, i was just about to post the same thing

maybe it's because of the mood i've been in lately or something, but i was never really a big fan until tonight "life like weeds" came on my playlist and i didn't know what song it was...

then after i realized it was modest mouse i downloaded a bunch of songs by them. after hearing "dramamine" i decided they officially rock.

[neal_672]

Right now it's ash for me, i can't wait to get their new album even though i've already seen them play it all live, and i will do again at Leeds Fest :thumb:

[OrbDragon]

I rediscovered Muse too...Origin Of Symmetry is good.

Also:

Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People
dEUS - The Ideal Crash
Pixies - Doolittle
Aphex Twin - I Care Because You Do
Desert Sessions - Volume 9&10
Death Cab For Cutie - Tansatlanticism
Flaming Lips - Transmissions From The Satellite Heart
Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing

I have yet to listen to my latest purchase, Damien Rice's debut cd...but I'm sure I'll dig it. I remember going to the record store when I bought my first Ani DiFranco record. I heard this amazing song with this incredibly sexy female vocalist...I told the shopkeeper, what record this was...she said "Damien Rice". I guess that settles that.

[Dave de Sylvia]

Damien Rice is amazing, O is just perfect. Ive since dled 2 of his concerts bootlegged, and have come to the conclusion he is, in fact, God.

[Tomahawk]

I downloaded some songs by "TV on the Radio", and I'm loving them. I wanna get my hands on their album as soon as possible. If you wanna check out some songs, get "Blind", "Staring at the Sun", and their cover of the Pixies song "Mr Grieves".

I've also started getting into Modest Mouse, Squarepusher, and the Boredoms.

Man i dont think its possible to dislike it, i listened to it the other day and its so raw, yet so beautifull.

[Tapeworm]

I second that.

lately i've been listening to

the sleepy jackson - Lovers

Kashmir - Zitilites

Cursive
Jim Yoshii Pile-Up

The Umbrella Sequence have a new CD coming out in June. It's gonna rock.

[LoveBuzzed]

do you have naked city's "black box"? the torture garden is SUPER great.

Fu Manchu - ...In Search Of has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

[br3ad_man]

Just got a Pearl Jam DVD ($9 AU) and The Pixies- Surfer Rosa and Come On Pilgrim.

[Tangy zizzle]

I think everyone should go out and get themselves a copy of The Essential Johnny Cash. It pretty much covers Johnny's career, pre-American Recordings. A definate must-have for any music fan with an ounce of respect in their bodyy.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

lightning bolt

sweet man, ive been getting more into them lately, you must know brainiac then...

also ive been into:

servotron
dismemberment plan
iron and wine
six finger satelitte
galactic
orbital

[Dave de Sylvia]

I dled a couple of Dismemberment Plan songs before, the orgasmic Time Bomb and one other(something about Boston?), which was pretty good too. Ive heard some other of their stuff on Launch and they havent really lived up to it for me. What are their best songs?

[TheZenBassist]

Lately, I've been getting into the New York Rock scene. Mainly the good old 60's bands like The Doors, The Velvet Underground, Phish and Grateful Dead. Also been checking out some bands influenced by these, such as The Dandy Warhols, The Beta Band, and the Strokes. I haven't been able to get "Dry The Rain" out of my head for weeks now. Can't fully explain it really. These bands are so much different from most others. They're a healthy mix of blues, jazz, and rock n' roll. That's all I've got for now, I guess so I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.

[Luxor]

Cap'n Jazz is amazing... *spooges pants*

[br3ad_man]

Listening to the Cows again. Awesome band, just takes years to find their songs.

[pacahmyhead]

Nah I just have one album that I downloaded, "Grand Guignol". It's good though.

i would highly suggest the black box. the torture garden sounds like a crazier version of fantomas' first album, and the leng tch'e is very similar to delirium cordia.

also, he does even more stuff outside of naked city.

i'd suggest taboo and exile, I.A.O., and filmworks V: tears of ecstasy. the drum work on those albums make danny carrey look bad.

[OK Compiler]

Artist: Modest Mouse. Between Lonesome Crowded West, Building Nothing Out Of Something, The Moon & Antarctica, and the new one, I think it's safe to say that Modest Mouse suck at making bad albums, because they haven't yet.

Album: Highway 61 Revisited, Bob Dylan. I was raised to hate Dylan's voice by my father, but this album is so incredible that I'll risk getting disowned.

Song: "Take Me Out", Franz Ferdinand. To be honest, I heard the album, and I was a little disappointed. It might take a few listens, but d*mn! this song is good. The moment where it slows down into that groove is the coolest part of any new song in 2004 so far, IMO.

[loose cannon]

I just listened to Adam and Tje Ants this morning and I liked it!

[loose cannon]

Im always listening to REM. As a matter of fact Murmur is one of the greatest albums ever. I listen to it everyday. Especially Sitting Still. Also i've been digging the new Calexico EP called Convict Pool. It's incredible.

[espionage_phoenix]

Hey. I'm new here; just joined today. My name is not important; I go by either Phoenix or Espionage; or Phe. Whatever you want to call me.

I play the electric guitar in the styles of Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, and Tom Morello; and I am giong to be taking up the steel and acoustic guitars as well...just wanted to introduce myself before getting to the good stuff:

The bands I listen to are not new, but they are great.

Soundgarden
Euphoria Morning
Temple Of The Dog
Audioslave
Linkin Park
Rage Against The Machine
Nirvana
Pantera
NiN
Slipknot
Mudvayne
Hatebreed
Manson
Kittie
Static-X
System Of A Down
Weezer
Deftones
And much, much more...mainly Grunge bands.

The Verve - A Northern Soul
Postman Syndrome - Terraforming (AWESOME HARDCORE PROG BAND! CHECK THEM OUT!)

[IndieNewbie]

DeerHoof-"Apple O" and "Milk Man"

and

Iron & Wine

[Master Arkam Kannon]

What are their best songs?

well i really like these ones...

What Do You Want Me To Say

Cap'n Jazz is amazing... *spooges pants*Cap'n Jazz + American Football = more spooge

[SurferRosa]

pixies
d.m.b.
g&r

[davegrohlismyhero]

Two bands I've been diggin lately (not sure why)
Weezer-I just got tthe new blue album expanded for easter. it is sweet. The B-sides are excellent, especially Jamie, and the live versions of many of the songs on it. It rocks
Flaming Lips-I've just recently gotten into the flaming lips. I just purchased In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Some songs to check out are Shine on Sweet Jesus (it's creepy but good) and Five Stop Mother Superior Rain.

Also, a new band that I just recently found out about are The Constantines. Their album is titled Shine a Light and its on Sub-Pop records. They are excellent. You should check out the song National Hum.

[br3ad_man]

I won a bid on Washing Machine by Sonic Youth. Is it a good album?

[OrbDragon]

I love The Flaming Lips...I own Transmissions and Yoshimi for a few months now...and I heard alot of great things about the Soft Bulletin...I'll get that one as soon as I see it.


Oh yeah folks HERE is ANOTHER recommendation...if you like Muse, Radiohead and Jeff Buckley: check out MOODSWING.

[Tangy zizzle]

Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

[JmE]

I've been really digging Modest Mouse and The Cure recently. I'm downloading quick and easy like a whore right now.

[Luxor]

Cap'n Jazz + American Football = more spooge

Can't argue with that.

[neal_672]

I'm into B.R.M.C again, i go through phases of who i like and i'm back to them, excellent band. If you haven't heard much by them check out:

Spread Your Love
Stop
Whatever Happened To My Rock And Roll
Love Burns
We're All In Love

[br3ad_man]

I've been listening to Sonic Youth, Antiskeptic and Radiohead.

[Tangy zizzle]

Nick Drake has been my most recent find. He was an incredible artist. His last album Pink Moon is one of the most raw and emotive albums I've ever come across.

[LoveBuzzed]

Lots of Tool and Zakk Wylde / Black Label Society lately :thumb:

[br3ad_man]

Currently into the Meat Puppets. I'd only heard the Nirvana covers before this week. They're a great band.

[bobisnotmyname]

The killers.

I've only heard 2 songs from these guys - somebody told me, and mr brightside - but from what i've heard i'm way impressed.

[Tangy zizzle]

Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings & Food has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official Album of The Week

I just downloaded a heap of Flaming Lips songs and so far "In The Morning Of Magicians" is my favourite. Good stuff.

[Luxor]

I've been listening to a lot of

Metric
Death Cab For Cutie
Spoon
The Postal Service

Everyone check those bands out if you haven't already.:thumb:

[br3ad_man]

Song suggestions?

[Tangy zizzle]

Death Cab suggestions:

Information Travels Faster
Photobooth
I Was a Kaleidospcope
Employment Pages
Styrofoam Plates (My fave)
Coney Island
Face That Launched 1000 Ships

[OrbDragon]

Death Cab is pretty decent...I own Transatlanticism...what stopped me from listening to it over the years that the singers voice annoys me from time to time...but the music is pretty good. It's as close as emo as it gets in my cd collection.

[burn piano island, burn]

death cab for cutie
pretty girls makes graves
Dead Poetic
Taking Back Sunday
Incubus
Blood Brothers
Tool especially Aenima
Dizzy Rascal
Cursive
The Streets and last but not least
Rancid

[Luxor]

Song suggestions?

Metric

Combat Baby
Succexy
Raw Sugar

Spoon

The Way We Get By
Jonathon Fisk

The Postal Service

Such Great Heights
Nothing Better
Clark Gable

[OrbDragon]

Two albums stand out for me:


The Flaming Lips - The Soft Bulletin (some of the best music I've ever heard)
Damien Rice - O (raw emotion)

Also in rotation

Dead Can Dance - Into The Labyrinth (majestic)
The Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Comatorium (only until now I'm starting to recognize it's amazingness)
Lovage - Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By (just a fun cd)
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - F#A# (Infinity) (challenging, breathtaking listening experience)
Sarah MachLachlan - Surfacing (good adult pop)

[OPIV]

I just picked up The Pixies - Surfer Rosa and Sonic Youth - Sister a few days ago.

Good stuff.

[Dancin' Man]

Soli i Sombra - www.soliisombra.com their EP is for download there. really great indie-prog
Junior Senior - Great super catchy disco stealers. Download chicks and dicks, very funny song
The Postal Service - Fun to listen to just don't over do it like I did.
A Perfect Cricle - Probably on here athousand times but still and always great

[wheelz]

rjd2 - started digging him a while back, but now he's got a new album out for me to dig

moving units - i guess the "dancepunk" thing still hasn't been overdone yet. not much different than any of the other bands like them, but these guys songs are just catchier and more uptempo than the other bands in their genre. addictive.

les savy fav - downloaded a song by them, was impressed, downloaded a bunch more, now their album's on the way. not much to say about them except that they're just a good band.

my bloody valentine - i had heard their stuff before, but i never thought it was as amazing as everyone else seemed too (kinda like i was when first hearing the mars volta.) took me a while, but now "loveless" is indeed blowing me away. good timing too, cause kevin shields is starting to make music again.

[markhendrix]

Well ive been listenin to my usual Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Clash , Who etc but recentley ive taken a real likeing to the Rolling Stones

Album ive been listenin to: 40 licks - Rolling Stones

Suggested listening -

Ive also been getting really into a band called the Screaming trees recentley but they dont have many albums available in the shops these days - so im just downloading at the moment. Make my Mind is a great song by them!

What Mark said :thumb:

[Gray Day Jane]

I've been diggin Death Cab For Cutie- you can play these songs with chords

[OrbDragon]

I've never been able to get into My Bloody Valentine...I never thought their music were as strong compared to most other music I own with feminine songwriting. Maybe it's just me though.

I've been getting into a band called The Cranes these days...they are great. They sound sorta like a combination of New Order, Dead Can Dance and Throbbing Gristle...really good stuff.

I'm also liking Dead Moon...another band I recommend.

[OK Compiler]

I'm with you, OrbDragon. I never really got it either. Maybe it's because I never heard it in the proper format (CD) in the proper mood (drugs). Maybe someday.

The Soft Bulletin by the Flamings Lips. It took me 8 months, folks, but I finally love it!
New Modest Mouse
Franz Ferdinand
Creedence Clearwater Revival. I bought their best-of for a history report, but their songs just rock.
Bad Religion

[dingus_mcoy_8]

Bands/Albums/Songs I've been into lately...
French Kicks - "One Time Bells": (Close To Modern, When You Heard You, Down Now)
Hot Hot Heat - "Make Up The Breakdown": (No Not Now, Get In or Get Out, Oh Goddammit, This Town, Talk to Me, Dance with Me, In Cairo... in other words, almost all of it.)
Franz Ferdinand - "Franz Ferdinand": (Jaqueline, Tell Her Tonight, Take Me Out, The Dark of the Matinee, Michael, 40")

What I'm looking to get soon...
The Libertines - "Up The Bracket" ... I know it's been out for a while, but for some reason I keep forgetting to go out and get it. It could be my lack of money/job.
Tangiers - "Hot New Spirits" (I think thats what its called)
The Unicorns

[fakeplasticpt]

I've been listening to Houses of the Holy (album, not song) by Zep on repeat for like 5 days.

Also R.E.M. Best of '88-'03.

[bruise_pristine]

That is such a great album, one of their best too. Dyer Maker is the best song on that album IMO.

[fakeplasticpt]

That is such a great album, one of their best too. Dyer Maker is the best song on that album IMO.

I prefer The Rain Song.

I consider this their best album for sure, but whenever I listen to Dancing Days I just think about how much better STP did it.

[wheelz]

I've never been able to get into My Bloody Valentine...

me either, for the longest time. but recently, while my winamp playlist was randomly going through songs, a couple of their songs came on and i just really liked them. i don't know how or why, but they just really appealed to me. modest mouse was the same way...

go figure. i guess if you're in the right mindset, some music just gets to you sometimes (and no i wasn't on drugs at the time ok compiler.)

although i'm sure that would help.

[br3ad_man]

I have Soon by My Bloody Valentine, it's alright I guess... Anyone have any recommendations for download?

[bruise_pristine]

I prefer The Rain Song.

I've never heard the STP version. The Rain Song is one of my favorites off House Of The Holy another really good one is The Ocean.

And No Quarter is the shiznit.

Infact, thats one of the best albums ever, there isn't a bad song.

Hear the STP version of Dancing Days. Its awesome.

[OPIV]

I've been listening to nothing but Elliott Smith and Mission of Burma for the last three days.

[br3ad_man]

I have Soon by My Bloody Valentine, it's alright I guess... Anyone have any recommendations for download?

When You Sleep
Sometimes
Loomer
To Here Knows When
Blown A Wish


Like you said, Soon is alright, but there is stuff on that album that is ten times as good.

[Luxor]

When You Sleep
Sometimes
Loomer
To Here Knows When
Blown A Wish


Like you said, Soon is alright, but there is stuff on that album that is ten times as good.

*Is downloading*

Thanks, I'll tell you what I think of 'em in a bit.

[br3ad_man]

^^ Hope you like them

I currently being amazed by Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots and I'm listening to Washing Machine by Sonic Youth

[wheelz]

well i tried to make a post that recommended the same 5 songs br3ad did, but it looks like it didn't go through...

so i think it's safe to say those are the good ones.

[Luxor]

I downloaded Loomer and When You Sleep... I also listened to Soon a couple more times and I'm beginning to like it a lot more.

I'm really liking When You Sleep and Soon so far, and I'm about to download To Here Knows When.

:thumb:

[br3ad_man]

^^^ They're both great songs. To Here Knows When is awesome too, it's really trippy. Make sure you check out Sometimes as well, it's amazing.

I'm really liking When You Sleep and Soon so far, and I'm about to download To Here Knows When.

:thumb:

good stuff... that's why i picked "soon" as my song by my bloody valentine in that one thread where you had to pick one song from your favorite artists... it's the song that got me into them too. i think it's the most accessible.

I'm getting into Ani DiFranco and PJ Harvey. I liked Ani straight away.
I'm still working on PJ.....I've loved some of the songs I heard, others I hated....especially "Joy". I'm going to keep working at it.

I've really gotten into indie and dance punk lately. Bands like Interpol, The Rapture, The Stills, The Von Bondies, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Hot Hot Heat, Modest Mouse etc

I just had a craving for AC/DC and I'm listening to the Live album.

[I had daydream nation ages ago, listened to it, thought it was awful and left it for about a year. I listened to it the other week and now i think its awesome. ]

Don't you love when that happens. New music right on your shelf. My faves:
All time: Morphine (Cure for Pain), Jesus & Mary Chain (Darklands, Automatic, Stoned & Dethroned), Beatles (any).
Lately: Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jet, VAST, Better Than Ezra.

I've been listening to a lot of local stuff from where I used to live "(Newport News, Va. heh, representin). There's this band called the silent press that's like q and not u (good band as well) and ive been listening to them and their parent band the k word. also, ive been listening to the mars volta and this parent band at the drive in a lot. and of course theres mis favoritos murder by death and cursive. oh, and this band thats on tour with murder by death that i just found out about called minus the bear and theyre awesome. all of their song titles have nothing to do with the song and theyre really random like "pantsuit...ughh" and "**** bugs whacked him, johnny". theyre really good.

I'm attempting to get into Coheed & Cambria at the moment. I'm still undecided on their stuff, but it's rather catchy and somewhat original.

Their singer sounds like the dude from Alien Ant farm, he makes me laugh.

Astral Weeks by Van Morrison has been amazing me for the last few days. It is such an incredible album. It's so honest and open.
