Little Brother! Nice.

Robert Crumb 08-16-2005 05:04 PM

Can't wait for the new one. I think they can top their debut easily.

TalkingHead 08-16-2005 07:11 PM

I've been listening to nothing but Royksopp for the past 2 days. Melody A.M. is wonderful.

At first spin, the new Dredg blows.

ATM 08-16-2005 07:25 PM

I really don't see what all the fuss over Dredg is about.

Happymeal 08-16-2005 07:32 PM

I never was too fond of them either. The only song I liked from them was "Same Ol' Road", and the first time I heard it around 3 years ago I thought they were a Tool rip-off.

Nah, the beauty of dredg is that they play modern rock that's catchy and head banging but also has a unique beauty to it.

Also.. I've been digging..

im digging dredg right now :p


as well as nouvelle vague

el doctor 08-17-2005 08:17 AM

[QUOTE=Slug]I really don't see what all the fuss over Dredg is about.[/QUOTE]Same here. They're good musicians that have the potential to be a great band, but the singer sounds lifeless and the ideas (while some are rather cool) are so unfocused.

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood
Stereolab - Mars Audiac Quintet
Billy Bragg & Wilco - Mermaid Venue (Vol. 1 and 2)

Anthony Braxton - [I]For Alto [/I] and [I]Trio and Duet[/I][/QUOTE]

I haven't heard thos Braxton albums, but I'm not a big fan of [I]3 Compositions Of New Jazz[/I] or [I]Quartet (Dortmund) 1976[/I]. Both are good, but not even close to being some of my favorite free jazz albums. I've been interested in [I]For Alto[/I], though. Is that good stuff?

[I]For Alto[/I] is good stuff I think though it can get lengthy on the second half of the album, tracks 5-8 each top ten minutens but they're well worth it in my mind. Braxton really has at it on the album and each track holds its own. It's a solid and consistant album in my opinion.

Such a great album. Knocked me right out my loafers.

Robert Crumb 08-17-2005 10:43 PM

It's great that MF DOOM is finally getting the love he deserves.

Right now I'm listening to the first half of a mixtape (on an actually tape, no less) that I'm making. 45 minutes a side, here's how the first side shapes up:

Sebadoh - On Fire
Saggitarius - Lonely Girl
Stereolab - Cybele's Reverie
Air - Mike Mills
Cardinal - Angel Darling
Big Star - Thirteen
Camera Obscura - Before You Cry
Nancy Sinatra - Baby's Coming Back Again
John Cale - Andalucia
*undetermined three minute instrumental*
Brian Eno - Some of Them Are Old
The Zombies - How We Were Before
The Left Banke - Sing Little Bird Sing

And the first song on side b is gonna be David Bowie - Fill Your Heart. Fun fun.

Hmm I don't know, do you like the Ubu?

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I do.[/QUOTE]

Okay, I guess you're a friend now.

br3ad_man 08-18-2005 01:23 AM

Live long and prosper.

Tapeworm 08-18-2005 01:27 AM

oh yeah bread, i've been meaning to tell you. In case you didn't know, there is a venue in brisbane called 610 which is an all ages venue. You can also BYO alcohol if you're into that. We get some pretty freaking good bands playing there.

br3ad_man 08-18-2005 02:03 AM

Is it in the valley? What sort of bands play there?

Tapeworm 08-18-2005 02:13 AM

Yeah in the valley.

Umm, it;s mostly locals but lately there has been a lot of Melbourne and Sydney band coming up, and also smaller bands from overseas. A lot of post-punk type stuff (as most of the local scene is these days).

The Rogers Sisters played there recently. I can't remember, but yeah it is growing in notoriety, and it's basically a real dirty bunch of alleyways TMNT club style. Bunch of little kids drinking goon and throwing up.

br3ad_man 08-18-2005 02:17 AM

Sounds a bit nasty, wouldn't they get busted for having underage kids drinking?

Tapeworm 08-18-2005 02:18 AM

Well it's classed as an art gallery. So it's like a private space or something. So it's like drinking at home.

Venetian Snares - Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett.
Amazing.
It's like Europe, classical music and 'intelligent dance music' [ugh, hate that term] having sweet secks together.

Chunder_Munkey 08-18-2005 07:01 AM

has anyone looked at foxy shazam's myspace. if you havnt do it now. [url]www.myspace.com/foxyshazam[/url] go to it now they are the good.

OrbDragon 08-18-2005 07:11 AM

Dredg is prententious and overartsy, IMO.

Just had to get it off my chest. I'm a bit hyper for upcoming Lowlands festival.
