Yeah, I've been meaning to for a while, seeing as they get so much praise around these parts.

None of their other albums get enough credit. Don't stop with [I]Double Nickels On The Dime[/I].

Well, after I got DNotD I got [I]What Makes a Man Start Fires?[/I], [I]Ballot Results,[/I] and [I]3-Way Tie For last[/I], and none of those are very good. Now that I'm going through this post-mersh stuff I'm finding that some of their other albums [I]are[/I] actually worth hearing.

It's highly unlikley not to like the Minutemen

Soft Machine - One and Two (least static records ever)

Gang of Four - A Brief History of the Twentieth Century
Nuggest - Every compilation they ever did
1234 Punk and New Wave box set

Yeah that's mostly the last few weeks.

Yeah, I know what you mean. At first I didn't care much for [I]Ballot Results or 3-Way Tie For Last[/I], but after a while of [I]DNOTD[/I] being my only Minutemen interest I decided to give them another chance, and I found them to be more enjoyable than before. I've never heard [I]What Makes a Man Start Fires?[/I] Anyway, check out [I]Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat[/I]. It's my favorite MM album after [I]DNOTD[/I].

Yeah [I]Buzz Or Howl[/I] is great.

[I]What Makes a Man Start Fires?[/I] = my favourite Minutemen album.


/hides away from Zaphoid's iron e-Glare\

Yeah I checked out some of their other albums, but the only one that really appealed to me was [i]Buzz or Howl[/i].

But which one has "Bob Dylan Wrote Propaganda Songs?"

[I]WMaMSF[/I] really isn't so bad, it's just not great. It doesn't have the same sort of momentum that [I]Buzz Or Howl[/I] and [I]Double Nickels[/I] possess.

The album cover in my avatar is from a recording of the Robert Shaw Festival Singers performing [I]Vespers, Op. 37[/I] by Sergei Rachmaninoff. It's a beautiful thing.

See above your post Ian

The Blood Brothers are kicking my arse. 5 days to go.

I get no credit for pimping beautiful choral music to the alt & indie forum.

I'm liking The Postal Service and Hot Snakes at the moment.

^What type of muzak?

It's pop rock and it's awesome. I think it's my favourite album this year.

I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. I finally checked out the Magic Numbers, after seeing Iai whoring them. Very cool album.

new band called STAND

Irish rock, i never heard of them until i saw their show at my school. they're pretty awesome. check out [url]www.standland.com[/url]

Next show is in dublin, but they'll be in Buffalo (NY) in August. =)

I've been hearing quite a bit of quiet hype developing around Devin Davis. I'm definitely interested.

Edit: Especially since me and Tomahawk agree on practically everything. Except The Magic Numbers. :p

I might give them another chance. I'm pretty generous like that.

Man, I just realised, I must have played Gigantic about 20 times today. I'm THAT happy.

Oh, and I bought I Am A Bird Now yesterday. Muchly looking forward to digging that after dinner.

I Would Set Myself On Fire For You
Hot Cross
Autechre

music ive been listening to
 

lately ive been listening to the clash and big audio dynamite....they have some great lyrics, but if your looking for a cool drum beat, check out kryptonite by three doors down...its not that hard, but sounds awesome when you play it :thumb:

It's, uh.....interesting. Reminds me of Rufus Wainwright at first, except with a far more strange voice. I didn;t really settle into the flow of the album until the 5th or 6th track. I liked it though. I'll give it a couple more listens before judging properly.

Did you buy that album (Devin Davis) from somewhere in Australia or did you order it from the US or something? I haven't been able to find it anywhere.

Since my above post I've listened to:

Talking Heads - [I]Remain in Light[/I]
David Bowie - [I]Low[/I]
The Clash - [I]London Calling[/I]

I've been listening to...

Shining - [i]In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster[/i]
Felt - [i]Forever Breathes The Lonely Word[/i]

Trying to dig "Illinois".

I've been looking for it too, can't find it. I just have a downloaded copy for the moment.

Can't stop listening to the Afghan Whigs.

Amazing group.

The Locust
