[QUOTE=Butch Walker]I'm watching the video of it from Leno now. It wasn't a great performance. :([/QUOTE]

Other than Scott Weiland looking like Jack Skellington, I thought it was nice to see a rock band with some charisma for a change. Even if it meant taking a page from Mick Jagger/Iggy Pop's frontman playbook.

Black Mountain

Beck
Lightning Bolt
Birthday Party

br3ead_man and tangyzizzle: it's me - deftoned! in new and improved form!

Depeche Mode - [I]Violator[/i] - an old favourite. Best songs include; Enjoy the Silence, Blue Dress, Halo, Personal Jesus.
Isis - [i]Celesial[/i]: This shît will blow your mind. Taking you on a journey of intergalactic proportions. A very rewarding listen. Check out 'Celestial (the Tower)', 'Glisten' 'Cft'.
Dillinger Escape Plan - [i]'Miss Machine'[/i]: I've really started getting back into this again after seeing them recently. Check out 'Panasonic Youth', 'Sunshine the Werewolf', 'Phone Home'. Math metal at it's epileptic peak.
Leftover Crack - [i]Fück World Trade[/i]: Ska, black metal, punk-rawk; all you need. Check out 'Clear Channel' [Fück Off!] and 'Gang Control'. RIP Brandon (ex-drummer)
Kid 606 - [i]KillSoundBeforeSoundKillsYou[/i]: For fans of Aphex Twin, Chris Clarke etc. Completely crazy glitch/IDM.
I've also been diggin abit of Bright Eyes after seein him support REM a week ago.

Scott Weiland's been doing that for years. Pity Velvet Revolver are boring radio-rock. A total shame, considering Guns N' Roses are one of my favourite bands. In the media VR claim to be 'the most dangerous band in the world'; when it's all just watered down and sugar-coated. Disappointing...except when I met Slash when they came out. The record is poor, but live they were very good. [hint hint: Getting to see Slash and Duff...]

Good to finally see you back here man. You should post in A&I more.

I've just been listening to Explosions In The Sky and Queens of the Stone Age with my friend.

I'm surprised they haven't gotten noticed more here. That happens to be one of my favorite releases of 2005... so far at least.

I was listening to Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" last night. It's been such a long time since I last heard it, and I forgot how incredible it really is.

Maybe I haven't heard enough or something, but what I have heard has been pretty bland and not quite interesting enough to warrant my cash.

The album really works off on borrowing ideas and sounds, which can consequently cause it to come off as bland. I happen to find it to be an enjoyable listen though.

50 Cent

I like his new cd. I'm digging "Disco Inferno" and "Piggy Bank"

Black Mountain's s/t is very good. asymm, I'm guessing you've only heard "Druganaut"?

Calexico's [I]The Black Night[/I] and [I]Feast of Wire[/I] right now. By golly they're fantastic.

Murder By Death

Martin Grech - Open Heart Zoo

The Evens - The Evens

Fans of "The Argument" and "Instrument" would do well to peep this.

Yeah, he seems to be every charismatic frontman between the 60's and the 80's.

That's about the best description of Scott Weiland ever. Totally true.

On a vaguely related note, I saw a covers band last night, and they murdered Interstate Love Song so badly I think I'm gonna have trouble listening to it in the near future. Zep's Immigrant Song, too. Ah well, at least they cleared out the bar so I could get a drink without having to wait.

Leonard Cohen's "Songs of Love and Hate"

[QUOTE=Iai]Martin Grech - Open Heart Zoo[/QUOTE]

I remember I was going to ask if you'd review that, before Sputnik.

My day's worth;
Fantomas - Suspended Animation
General Patton vs the X-ecutioners
Beck - Mellow Gold

Tool. I don't know why, I've never really cared for them that much. I like them more now though.

indie pop
 

[QUOTE=NachoChez]I'm a little disappointed by the Evens. I expected more, but it's not a bad album.

I'm in a major indie-pop mood. Unrest, F[COLOR=white]u[/COLOR]ck, Camera Obscura, etc. I just need some happy music.[/QUOTE]

You should definitely listen to bella! They are poppy and happy. Hope ya dig.
I forgot their website by check them out at [url]http://www.myspace.com/bella[/url]

[QUOTE=Bartender]I remember I was going to ask if you'd review that, before Sputnik.[/QUOTE]
It's one of the albums I'm planning to review when I get the time. That, and The Man-Machine by Kraftwerk.

However, 'when I get the time' could be months away.

Okkervil River - "Black Sheep Boy"

I'm on my first run through it, but I'm really enjoying it so far. It's got heart, violence, aggression, and just an overall sincere passion.

I was in St. Louis today and picked up a zine with an article about them in it and I was very interested in hearing them.

Today I listened to:

Beck-Guero
Maritime
The Snake The Cross The Crown
The Smiths (on vinyl mwahaha)

Animal Collective - Sung Tongs

Thanks to Happymeal's love for it.

check it outttttt

Dr Dre's The Chronic has received a spin this week. He brings the funk like Stevie Wonder, except he can see and slays way more tang. Some awesome humour on this record as well. I got bored today so I listened to Bill Hick's Revelations. **** that's funny. I'm not ashamed of my liking of metalcore; Poison the Well's the Opposite of December had a good spin today. Returning to some indie, I also listened to Broken Social Scene's You Forgot it In People and Trail of Dead's Source Tags and Codes. Good ****.

Yeah.
