The Cure [i]Pornography[/i]
and
Mission of Burma - [i]Vs.[/i]

It's been a Pink Floyd day for me.

311, the From Chaos album.

[QUOTE=Iai]I'm going back this Friday. It's conveniently on the way to the NHS walk-in clinic.[/QUOTE]

I think I'm going back later on, as a kind of excuse to meet up with a friend back in Newcastle. Also, why are you going to the walk-in clinic?

On topic, I haven't really listened to much music today. My mp3 player was out of batteries, and I've been playing on my newly fixed PS2 otherwise.

[QUOTE=Bartender]Also, why are you going to the walk-in clinic?[/QUOTE]
A couple of friends are pressuring me to, because of a big burn wound I've got on my hand. (I spilt coffee over myself last Thursday.) Just making sure it's not infected, or whatever.

I figure I've got more chance of catching a disease if I go.

At the moment, I've been really diggin one of the new 'Bright Eyes' albums. the 'I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning' one.

A cross between Damien Rice and Ryan Adams :D

Elliott Smith
Beck
Afrika Bambaataa
Shpongle
NoMeansNo
Frank Zappa
Nicholas Payton

That's what I've had playing today.

I'm seriously in love with Calexico - Convict Pool at the moment.

I've just dug out the ol' Dredg - El Cielo too. I don't know why I haven't listened to this for so long :-/ So i'm diggin this too

But it gives you an excuse to stop by HMV's sale again.

NP Grateful Dead, so I suppose you could say I'm digging them.

Man, I'm a moody motherfu[COLOR=White]ck[/COLOR]er.

You should bring some joy into your life and listen to Bjork :p

I just mean that I listen to some weird combinations of s[color=white]hit[/color]. I mean, up to Afrika Bambaataa and down to Elliott Smith is quite a contrast of mood.

I finally saw [I]24 Hour Party People[/I] the other night and now all I want to do is listen to Joy Division.

They have that at the rental place down the road from me. I keep meaning to get it out, but I never seem to.

You should get it, it's very good.

I was wondering, Afrika Bambaata and Sphongle, moody?

Does moody mean something different in America then? Here it generally means depressive.

Anyway, today I had a mainly post-punk day, because I basically gutted my coursework, ripped it all apart, and redid it from scratch. My post-rock version of a Smiths song has now become a post-punk version of Black Velvet by Alannah Myles. Think about it - references to 'molasses' and 'a new religion'? This is practically a Radiohead song!

And that paragraph was wierdly YDLoad-esque.

Anyway.

Joy Division - Permanent
Manic Street Preachers - The Holy Bible
Kraftwerk - The Man-Machine
Depeche Mode - Violator
The Cure - Disintegration
Talking Heads - Remain In Light

And some assorted Gang Of Four and Magazine, and even a little Can.

I meant that my mood swings a lot. There was less than an hour between rockin' out to Bam and being gentle with Elliott.

Oh I see.

I take offense to that! You spelled "YDload" and "weird" wrong.

But only in the paragraph that wasn't like you! That was my own incompetence!

I've been listening to what I assume to be a legit version of "Suspended Animation" from Fantomas.

Zongamin is a good find.

+

Prefuse 73 - Surrounded by Silence
Elysian Fields - Queen of the Meadow
Stars - Set Yourself on Fire
Mouse on Mars - Audiotacker
Mum - Yesterday was Dramatic Today is Ok

K-os : "Joyful Rebellion", specifically the songs Crucial, Commandante, Clap Your Hands, One Blood, Neurotronics, and ( my favorite) Papercuts.
this was the first hip hop album i ever bought, which i purchased on a whim after hearing a handful of songs from Exit. I always was "anti" - rap, and thus closed myself off to anything similar. But listen to the songs i mentioned (go to his website); instruments, singing, smart lyrics - the guy has talent (the cds not flawless, however its very good). Yes, its over played, but there are gems i tell ya, GEMS.

Found my old Mad Season "Above" album, a timeless classic...

[QUOTE=tonedef jd]blood brothers - the shame[/QUOTE]
what a great song!!! that's probably my favorite song on their burn piano island burn cd.

Frank Zappa - G Spot Tornado

I've been listening to Beck - Odelay and the Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts.

Both are great.

I went back to the HMV sale.

My haul for today.

The Clash - The Clash (4 for £20)
Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St. (4 for £20)
Talking Heads - More Songs About Buildings And Food (4 for £20)

The Sundays - Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic (£5)
Katatonia - Viva Emptiness (£6)

I bought Katatonia blind, on the recommendation of one of the few people where I live who has taste as good as mine.

Say Anything - Is a Real Boy
Saetia - A Retrospective
