I took out good old Yann Tiersen's Amélie soundtrack today again, and goddamm.. I really, really love that album. Definitely my favorite.

The self-titled. I'm glad too.

Today I have found Honeyhander and I really, really love them.

oooh I am liking, how did you come across this? :cool:

revisting my RATM fetish

I just listened to DJ Shadow... and now I feel like some Slint.

Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights"

This really is a brilliant debut, I still love it's atmosphere and the semi-nostalgia of its sound for me and especially considering my old (and only) band did a cover of Obstacle 1.

Today I have been listening to:

Mark Lanegan
PJ Harvey
Radiohead

They were mentioned on the Xiu Xiu forums :fangirl: :upset:

They don't even have a record out yet, but I think I have to get it when it comes out.

:cool: Glad you liked it.

Today I downloaded:

Slint - Spiderland
Do Make Say Think - Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn
Jesu - Jesu

I have yet to listen to Jesu, but the others are good. Slint were a lot different to what I expected.

I've been in a bit of a post-rock mood today - I went to sleep and awoke to Godspeed's 'Lift Yr Skinny Fists...'

Noice, perhaps I better check out Xiu Xiu aswell, any recommendations?

I've really been digging The Fall recentl. I love songs like Mr Pharmacist and the one about Sparta FC!! They have a really original style

I'm listening to my namesake as we speak, I've also been digging Rufus Wainwright for the past couple of hours, which is distracting me from my work. :eek:

I'm currently into

Calla and The Walkmen split EP
Charles Mingus - [I]The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady[/I]
Crassss - [I][I]*****[/I] Envy[/I]

Today I listened to:

Godspeed You Black Emporer! - Lift Your Skinny Fists
Stars - Set Yourself On Fire
Frank Sinatra - Greatest Hits
The Beatles - The White Album
Slint - Spiderland

The Melvins

Lately I've been listening to some Broken Social Scene and Elefant. It's fun to listen to while driving in overcast weather.

I got [I]Rumours[/I] by Fleetwood Mac yesterday, and that's been my main dig. I was kind of ignorant about them, so I was surprised when I found out that I already knew about half the songs on the album.

Great album, that.

Pinback - Blue Screen Life

Used to be my least favorite Pinback, now it's about tied for #1.

The new Jaga Jazzist is awesomeness.

Everyone should listen to "Oslo Skyline".

Ahem, they're now called simply "Jaga".

[QUOTE=Swami]Ahem, they're now called simply "Jaga".[/QUOTE]

Thanks, mister.

I need new music, almost everything I'm listening to seems stale.

*makes thread*

Get some Cougars into ya'.

That and Trans Am.

YES!

Bilal - 1st Born Second
Tom Waits - Rain Dogs
Suede - Singles

Husker Du- New Day Rising (Easily just as good as Zen Arcade... noone seems to ever accept that, however)

I'm revisiting my Yo La Tengo and Velvet Underground obsessions. Good times.

Cannonball Adderley Quintet - [I]Mercy, Mercy, Mercy! Live at the Club[/I]

[QUOTE=Iai]Tom Waits - Rain Dogs[/QUOTE]

Outstanding. :cool:

I'm listening to the new Val Emmich CD I got.
I've also been listening to the Replacements/Westerberg and the Manics.

We're studying the Modernist and Post-Modernist movement in History/Western Humanities class, and the professor played a little Stravinsky called "Rite of Spring." The string section started playing the same harsh note over and over again and everyone thought the record skipped, so the prof. turned if off.

But now nobody has any idea if the record was skipping, or if that was part of the piece. I mean, the teacher said before that the piece was very dark and primitive, and it caused a riot when it was first performed, so I was ready for anything. Zappa, could you shed some light on this?

How far into the piece are we talking? If you know about how long it took before this started, to you also know if he played it from the first movement? The first movement of the pieces is a bassoon solo. It's a 37 minute work, so it's hard for me to pinpoint whether what you're describing is a skip or not without some more qualification of where to look.

I have no idea; I guess it's some kind of excerpt because the focus was on syncopation and it started out with most of a full orchestra playing, only on the unaccented beats instead.

I bet it was skipping.

The piece definitely has a certain harshness to it, but by today's standards it's pretty melodious.

Like most Stravinsky.

Sounds like a skip to me. I can't think of anywhere in the work it does that, offhand.

Re-listening to some of the Black Dice vinyl I have... it's been oddly relaxing
