[QUOTE=NachoChez]I'm liking Sun Kil Moon better so far, but the RHP album seems more difficult and probably needs more time. Sun Kil Moon hit me right away, and this feels like a grower.[/QUOTE]
It's a gorgeous, melancholy record. One I'd consider to evoke the strongest emotional pull from me. My favorite Painters record. Definitely let it grow, it's amazing.

[QUOTE=Tapeworm]mmmmmmmmmm Entertainment. Good work bro. My burner is working now. must borrow cds.

I'm diggin Bruce Sprinsteen.[/QUOTE]Indeed, my friend, indeed.


[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]I heard an Antony & the Johnsons song last night. It's called [I]I hope theres someone[/I] ( or something similar). I don't know what to make of it yet. It was rather interesting adn sad to boot, but his voice kinda creeps me out.[/QUOTE]That was pretty much my exact reaction to that song the first time I heard it too. I like the few songs I've heard now.

Tangy zizzle 08-31-2005 05:42 PM

Do you write prose asymm?

pixiesfanyo 08-31-2005 06:03 PM

The new Coheed is pretty good.

Tangy zizzle 08-31-2005 06:05 PM

Is it just like the older stuff though?

pixiesfanyo 08-31-2005 06:10 PM

^ They've lost alot of the pop-punk stuff. It's more like...'80s metal done right I guess.

Reminds me of a less gay Rush.

Tangy zizzle 08-31-2005 06:14 PM

Cool.

Jamming to [I]The Crowing [/I] is a guilty pleasure of mine.

asdf 08-31-2005 06:28 PM

A friend of mine that likes primus wants me to get her into some of The Residents music, so I burned her duckstab, seeing as all the residents songs that primus covered are on that album. I listened to most of the album before burning it, and realized how much I loved it. I had forgotten all about it.

Then I got a song from the commercial album stuck in my head, so I had to go listen to it. I'm playing it on vinyl right now, and I still love it like I did a few years ago. Truely a great album.

I'll probably listen to intermission, mark of the mole, tunes of two cities, and third reich n roll within the next few days. Good stuff.

Nope, I don't. I've written a couple of album reviews, but that's about the extent of my literary side.

Daniel! 08-31-2005 09:01 PM

I'm really digging this Michael Franti and Spearhead bootleg I just downloaded. It is quite tasty.

*WHY* 08-31-2005 10:22 PM

Soon, i intend to pick up Against Me's new album.

br3ad_man 09-01-2005 03:07 AM

I gave my guitar teacher copies of [i]Giant Steps[/i] and [i]Hot Rats[/i]. It amazed me that he doesn't have [i]Giant Steps[/i], being the jazz cat that he is.

Mr Observations 09-01-2005 05:25 AM

The Stooges
Naked Raygun
Nick Cave

The Stooges are just too good to put into words. So i'm not gonna try.

I seriously doubt it would be worth it though. Or I might be wrong.

Hot Cross - [I]A New Set of Lungs[/I]
Fugazi - [I]13 Songs[/I]

I dunno, i'm a big Against Me fan, but most of what i've heard about this new album seems to be negative. I've heard absolutely nothing from it yet, though.

Maybe i'll download it first to see if it's worth buying.

There's a song or two on their website. I just prefer their style in Reinventing and now it looks like they're not going back(though I thought they were in the 2004 demo)

Bartender 09-01-2005 08:58 AM

Recently (as in the last week or so);

Beck - Mutations
Baby Huey - Living Legend
Frou Frou - Details
King Geedorah - Take Me To Your Leader
Blackalicious - A2G EP

For the last month the list would be a bit longer, though.

I was on the Stooges earlier today, mainly Raw Power. Now I'm listening to a whole bunch of rat pack related stuff.

Iai 09-01-2005 02:07 PM

Stooges too, but Funhouse.

Iai 09-01-2005 02:39 PM

Hah, awesome. It's like telepathy.

In any case, I moved onto Organized Konfusion's self-titled. This album doesn't get enough love outside rapreviews.com.

OrbDragon 09-01-2005 02:49 PM

I'm diggin' Lyrics Born - Later That Day...this dude's got style.

Also:

Killing Joke - Killing Joke (2003) - One of the best heavy guitar based records I've heard in along time. These old-timers rock harder than most new-timers in modern heavy guitar bands. Jaz Coleman is a pretty interesting guy...next to dropping brute forced vocals for Killing Joke, he composes classical music as wel.

Minutemen - Double Nickels On The Dime. Should've gotten this alot earlier. What an enjoyable band. Just love this record.

Cake - Fashion Nugget - This band is so fun. Great musicianship, and still have a catchy distinct sound. John McCrea is one of the coolest frontmen around.

Desert Sessions 9 & 10
Check PJ Harveys voice in the intro of "There Will Never Be A Better Time". Haunting, spine shivering stuff. Wow!

Zappa 09-01-2005 03:05 PM

Ahmad Jamal
Alice in Chains
Butthole Surfers
Captain Beefheart

Rahsaan Roland Kirk

Decemberists - Picaresque

Well, it's taken a while, but now i can see the fuss you guys made over this album. I had this urge to listen to it earlier, so i put it on. I've listened to it 2 times through since then, and my opinion has totally changed. It's now my favorite Decemberists album, and there's no weak songs at all. Up there with Illinois, Funeral and Black Mountain as my favourite album this year.

OrbDragon 09-01-2005 03:21 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Sun Kil Moon - [i]Ghosts of the Great Highway[/i]

One day I will be able to stop listening to this album[/QUOTE]

That's the final straw. Time for me to check this out.

The NPC 09-01-2005 03:23 PM

Consonant is the band of day for me.

OrbDragon 09-01-2005 03:30 PM

I've also been digging Spoon heavily...I can't decide which album of theirs to get though.

I've met him a few times (he's a friend of mine's neighbour) and he is a truely unique man, and I mean this is in the strangest sense possible. He's quite a nice dude though.

Aww Little Man, you'll always be a favourite of mine.

But the Magic Numbers are poopy. They're like an indie Mamas & the Papas.

Little Man being Erased 09-01-2005 04:00 PM

Cheers Tangy. Yeah, I can see that comparison, but I quite enjoy them.

Sound Boy 09-01-2005 04:02 PM

OrbDragon 09-01-2005 04:08 PM

I need recommendations for the band Spoon
 
Thanks...I'll get that one next.

OrbDragon 09-01-2005 04:12 PM

The songs I downloaded (Sister Jack and I Turn My Camera On are on "Gimme Fiction"...is that album also as worth checking?

Tangy zizzle 09-01-2005 04:14 PM

Yep. Most Spoon stuff is pretty solid.

Ornery Cephalopod 09-01-2005 04:46 PM
