I'm listening non-stop Dälek these days...when I first listened to Filthy Tongue Of Gods And Griots...I couldn't really form an opinion on them. Recently I started listening to them again...and I realize it's some of the best stuff out there. Incredible.

Tangy zizzle 07-28-2004 03:21 AM

I've got hold of two of the songs from the recently leaked Blood Brothers album, [I]Crimes[/I]. They are semi-mastered, and they sound pretty dam[I]n[/I] good so far. This album looks to be very very good stuff.

br3ad_man 07-28-2004 04:14 AM

I'm loving Brand New

clown_phobia 07-28-2004 04:16 AM

[b]Nirvana[/b]
Possibly my favourite band. Classic. I own [i]Nevermind[/i] and [i]In Utero[/i] and I think both are amazing albums.

[b]The Offspring[/b]
My favourite Punk band. They are really amazing. I love [i]Americana[/i]. Getting [i]smash[/i] soon, and I love [i]Self Esteem[/i].

I have been listening to the strokes' new single [i]Reptilla[/i]. very good.

John Butler (of the John Buter Trio) is very underrated.

I wanna get some classic rock.

I love grunge and punk.

Tangy zizzle, if you don't mind, I might do an album of the week too.

My album of the week is: Americana by The Offspring.

br3ad_man 07-28-2004 04:25 AM

Get Unplugged In New York by Nirvana. Their best work imo.

clown_phobia 07-28-2004 04:34 AM

yeah i might... i've heard that it shows they're music's musical value because it's not just hidden behind a layer of distortion.

Tapeworm 07-28-2004 10:14 PM

I just finally bought a few new albums, and I am completely and utterly blown away by [I]Refused - The Shape Of Punk To Come[/I]. Yes, I finally found a copy. I also just got the Mint Chicks EP, 'Octagon Octagon Octagon', and it is great.

I'm going to see Missy Higgins in a couple of hours, and man am I excited.

I'll add my reccomendation to those.

KazooVirtuoso 07-29-2004 09:59 AM

Ever since the new Pinback leaked, I've been grooving on it a lot. Otherwise it's been the usual: a bit of indie-pop and a bit of Isis/Pelican/Kayo Dot and a bunch of other random stuff.

Oh yeah, I've also been diggin' the demo from Mare, you fans of Isis and such should check them out. The Hydrahead website has one song from the demo for download. It might be hard to find the whole thing, I got it from an interweb friend.

Master Arkam Kannon 07-29-2004 11:41 AM

Futureheads

weneverspeak 07-29-2004 01:29 PM

vine all the way
 
i love love love the vines! they are the best band around (the clash is my fav of all time) oh i found this cool feature on [url]http://www.busweiser.com/1[/url] that talks about the vines. if you are a fan you should check it out!

OrbDragon 07-29-2004 03:17 PM

KUKL: Really creepy alt. punk/ambient music with Björk as lead singer.
The Cramps: Glorious alternative, raw no-nonsense, sick *** rock 'n roll
The Cocteau Twins: Ethereal alt. pop with Liz Frasers unique beautiful voice as the main focus
The Young Gods: awesome industrial band that scares the **** out of me.
Elysian Fields: Just checked them out...alternative suspense pop with sensual female vocals.


And I'm addicted to the song "Little Green Bag" by The George Baker Selection...for those who are wondering...it's the theme song in "Resevoir Dogs"...the song is amazing :p

Jellyspoon 07-29-2004 05:59 PM

I bought 'The Shape Of Punk To Come' yesterday (only by about an hour) and I am quite impressed with it. I don't instantly like it, which is a good sign, as it probably means I will grow with the LP and it will have longevity. My favourite tracks a.t.m. are;

Liberation Frequency
Summerholidays vs. Punkroutine
Refused Are F[color=white]u[/color]ckin Dead - the final section in particular

Recently I have also been investigating techno, in particular the artists on 'The Matrix' soundtrack, i.e. 'Meat Beat Manifesto', 'Lunatic Calm' and 'Hive'. Unfortunately for me, the better meat Beat manifesto albums have been deleted, I can't find any lunatic Calm files anywhere and Hive's best is deleted in the UK. :( Can anyone help me out?

Good stuff! TSOPTC is a life-chaning album.

I just cannot get enough of the new Fiery Furnaces disc, it's so infectiously weird and wonderful. With gems like [I]Wolfnotes[/I], [I]Chris Michaels[/I] and [I]Mason City[/I] who wouldn't love it??!!

Also, I've kinda checked out Damien rice. He's pretty cool. His music is what I expected it to be, but it's also quite refrshing. Long live the singer/songwriter!

I met The Fiery Furnaces once. They went for a drink in this small venue's bar after a gig. There were a few really pretentious people trying to have proper conversations with them, but I just went up and asked them to sign the back of my sticker. They were very nice, but I think the guy was pissed, so that pretentio was wasting his time.

TSOPTC has already grown on me in these past few hours :eek: I really want to buy an Isis album, but which is the best one to get, anyone?

Lucky bastard.

[I]Oceanic [/I] would be your best bet for an Isis album.

Can you do a review of that sometime?

I'm loving Brand New a lot. They are just awesome. I dont really like their style normally, but I find them increible.

KazooVirtuoso 07-30-2004 10:54 AM

I found out that the Mare "demo" was actually their debut EP, which is out now, but I had the leaked version and the leaker appearantly didn't know the titles or something...

For Isis, Oceanic is their best, but Celestial would still be a great choice.

Better let Kazoo or Buddy do that one.

Luxor 07-30-2004 08:06 PM

I've been listening to Modest Mouse's [i]The Moon And Antarctica[/i] a lot again lately... Also a lot of Cap'n Jazz and the New Taking Back Sunday album. I'm not usually a TBS fan, but my girlfriend burned me the new CD, it's decent.

br3ad_man 07-31-2004 12:58 AM

I just got two Tori Amos albums. They are brilliant. I'm in tears that I haven't discovered her earlier.

Tapeworm 07-31-2004 04:48 AM

I saw Missy Higgins at a really small gig two nights ago, and it was incredible. I can't stop listening to her EP, and the new one comes out monday.

asymm 07-31-2004 09:46 AM

I've been totally enamored with [b]The Fiery Furnaces - [i]Blueberry Boat[/i][/b]. It's such an amazing collection of songs. The ADD-like transitions and the piano sing-a-long style is just so unique. I think this will be an important album later. Definitely my current #1 for this year.

The Ashtray Girl 07-31-2004 03:25 PM

Just got Alicia Key's first album - Songs In A Minor very cheap and I'm actually enjoying it more than I thought. Yay for piano R&B.

Amen brother, Amen! 'Tis an incredible album.

Little Man being Erased 07-31-2004 08:40 PM

I got The Streets "A grand don't come for free" about a week ago and "Original pirate material" yesterday. I love it. Mike Skinner is the man.

Tangy zizzle 08-01-2004 12:13 AM

Pluto - [I]Red Light Syndrome[/I] has been delcared Tangy Zizzle's Official [B]Album of The Week[/B]

Moroii 08-01-2004 01:24 AM

Unida - some songs I downloaded off "Coping With the Urban Coyote" and the Dozer split EP. Good stoner rock stuff. Cheers to John Garcia.

Also been listening to some of Slayer's earlier stuff lately.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and the Icarus Line.

OrbDragon 08-01-2004 03:26 AM

Skeleton Key is a pretty cool band that I've been into for awhile. I'm also enjoying some Tom Petty songs...especially Running Down A Dream...really catchy song.

I'm really diggin Elysian Fields as well :naughty:

Oh, on the topic of The Minties, I just found out that they are playing Ric's Bar in Brissy in September. I am so excited, because Ric's is honestly the smallest venue I've ever seen. The room is like 5m by 10m. Will be an incredible gig.

Tomahawk 08-01-2004 09:42 AM

Right now I'm getting into Belle & Sebastian. I've only heard a few songs so far but they're very good.

Also, I've been re-digging Tenacious D, because I saw School of Rock the other day and it put me in a mood for some JB.

And Franz Ferdinand have been stabbing me in the ears with knives made of AWESOME. Or something. (although I'm already getting a bit bored of the CD, it's great but not really long-lasting)

Clawdaddy 08-01-2004 02:29 PM

In the last week, I've gotten 'Isn't Anything' and 'Loveless' by My Bloody Valentine, 'I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One' by Yo La Tengo, 'Psychocandy' by the Jesus and Mary Chain, 'Songs for a Blue Guitar' by the Red House Painters and 'The Earth is not a Cold Dead Place' by Explosions in the Sky. The good part is these albums are all amazing, the bad part is I don't have time to listen to them enough.

Jaded 08-01-2004 10:01 PM

I've been listening to:
Bob Dylan- Blonde on Blonde
Yes- Fragile
Neil Young- Live Rust
Slayer- Reign in Blood
Pink Floyd- Animals
Lagwagon- Trashed
Jedi Mind Tricks- Violent by Design
The Cure- The Cure (new album)

But Br3ad, I didn't think you were above the wonderful age of 18?

Tangy zizzle 08-02-2004 09:57 PM

The Beatles - [I]Abbey Road[/I], has been in very high rotation in my house lately. Such a perfect album.
