[QUOTE=NachoChez]Prince - "Let's Go Crazy"
The Clash - "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais"
David Bowie - "Changes"[/QUOTE]

**** Nacho, I always thought you were with me in hating The Clash.

I didn't used to like them either... [I](White Man) in Hammersmith Palais[/I] is the song that got me into them, it's very awesome.

[QUOTE=Bartender]
I downloaded that Varese song you uploaded a few days ago, by the way, so I've finally heard something by him, at least. Thanks for uploading it.[/QUOTE]

What did you think? I really picked "Hyperprism" because it's one of the shortest of his works that has the use of timbre and particularly percussion that is very special to his body of work as a whole. My favorite work of his right now is "Deserts," a work for orchestra and electric tape with 4 "episodes" and 3 interpolations of organized sound on tape.

I got the Varese song you posted earlier also and I liked it. I'll have to listen to it some more to get to know it though.

Gorillaz
Indian Summer

It seems good. I'll have to listen to it a fair bit more before I'd count myself as a fan of it (or not), though. At the moment I think I feel that it's good, without really appreciating/enjoying it. I've only listened to it a couple of times so far after all.

I've listened to it a couple times on speakers and then last night on my headphones.

Sounds wayyy better on the headphones. I'm really beginning to like it, actually.

The Suicide Pact - All My Dreams Still Have Dead Ends EP
Brand New The Holiday EP
Cartel - The Ransom EP
Daphne Loves Derby - Closing Down The Pattern Department
Jimmy Eat World - B-sides & Demos Compliation Thingy

There seems to be a something about pop punk EP's that's getting me today :tongue:

You're allowed to listen to music when you work? Where do you work?

I'm a cleaner at my college.

[QUOTE=Iai]I'm a cleaner at my college.[/QUOTE]

Cool. You get to listen to music - lucky :p How much do you get paid an hour?

Something like £4.10.

[QUOTE=Iai]Something like £4.10.[/QUOTE]

Cool - plus you get the added bonus of listening to music. Nice. :thumb:

Should I take all these posts as cues to attempt to upload the entire Varese "Complete Works" two CD set on YouSendit?

If you could and did, that was be excellent and much appreciated, yes.

As for digging, I'm still on Frank Sinatra. About halfway through The Band Years.

I be diggin a few songs from the following.

The Red Paintings
My Disco
Do Make Say Think

I've been listening to Meshuggah all day.

Have you guys ever heard of them? They are pretty good.

What are they like? The name sounds post-rocky..



The past few days I was rocked by

The Filaments
The Slackers
Okkervil River
Fugazi
Squarepusher

Metric.

I've always thought they were... alright. But they released a new single off [i]Old World Underground[/i], which is awesome. So it made me get the album. It's good stuff.

Today I have listened to:
Demon Days
Architecture in Helsinki-Fingers Crossed
some Yo-Yo Ma

I've also been trying to get into Rilo Kiley, but the few songs I have the girl seems to have a talking/singing voice instead of just singing. Are all of their songs in that fashion?

Listening to Seven Swans by Sufjan Stevens right now, good stuff ar 4:14am

You should go to bed more often, it's good for your health.

I hope everyone realises how good the Shawshank Redemption soundtrack is.

Listening to the new Coldplay album. Only heard the first two songs, but they aren't very good.

Speed Of Sound sounds waywayway too much like Clocks. Way.

I'm still being insanely creeped out by Summer Make Good by Mum. And I'm getting back into ( ) by Sigur Ros too.

They're both from Iceland. Coinkydink!2two

Yesterday I bought:

Various Artists - [I]The Blues (Dejavu Retro Gold Collection - 2CD Deluxe Edition)[/I]
John Coltrane - [I]A Love Supreme[/I]
Robert Johnson - [I]The Complete Collection[/I]

All for £17 - well pleased, especially with [I]The Blues[/I] 2 cd set.

Also received 1 Speed Bike - [I]Droopy Butt Begone[/I] from ebay today, haven't had a chance to listen to it yet but I've wanted it for ages, hopefully it will be good.
