Great list there Orb.

[QUOTE=Luxor]The Unicorns. I listened to [i]Who Will Cut...[/i] 4 times yesterday, because it was the only thing I had.

Today was mainly Jimmy Eat World and Cryptopsy, but I also listened to My Bloody Valentine, The Smashing Pumpkins and The Flaming Lips in the car today. As well as this, I got some cds. My copy of Takk came in the mail and I got the Fight Test EP by The Flaming Lips for 4.95 at a bookshop where I had coffee with my mum and some relatives today.

No I write the songs.

That's a great album. Curtis Mayfield is awesome. [i]Move On Up[/i] is one of my favourite songs ever. You should check out his albums [i]Superfly[/i] and [i]Roots[/i] if you haven't done so already.

Check out Jerk With a Bomb if you like both of those bands.

Never heard of 'em. I'll get to it, thanks.

Happymeal 09-14-2005 02:54 PM

[QUOTE=Bukowski]Never heard of 'em. I'll get to it, thanks.[/QUOTE]

They're not really a "punk" band like Against Me but they kind of remind me of a lukewarm version of AM's gusto with some of Calexico style acoustics, with gloomy and lo-fi bits.

Oh yeah, they're also a pre-Black Mountain band

I'm listening to that fIREHOSE album right now, too. Weird.
It's a very tight album.

I can't get over Mike Watt's bass playing, its so inventive. I have a chance to see him play on Sunday but I can't go :(.

[QUOTE=Happymeal]Oh yeah, they're also a pre-Black Mountain band[/QUOTE]

Sounds good, Black Mountain are great (as are Pink Mountaintops, and i [i]think[/i] they are pretty much the same guy(s). Hmm..

Anyway, i'm downloading an album called [i]Death to False Metal[/i] on soulseek, which is apparently by Jerk With a Bomb. So i'll be listening to that soon.

So far today i've listened to Pere Ubu's [i]The Modern Dance[/i], which is the first time i've ever listened to them. It was awesome.

Zappa 09-15-2005 09:59 AM

The Rolling Stones.

I realized that I never really listened to them, and I also found that their albums are INCREDIBLY easy to find on soulseek. So I got 6 of them, and so far I've dug on [I]Let it Bleed[/I]. I just started playing [I]Beggar's Banquet[/I], and "Sympathy For the Devil" must be one of the best rock songs ever written.

Do you have any of their studio albums? You Can't Hide Your Love Forever is a great record.

welcome to the 20th century hurrrrr

No really, I think their best songs are the ones that you don't hear thousands of times on the radio, like what's on [i]Exile on Main St.[/i] But I guess that's a given with classic rock bands.

asdf 09-15-2005 04:17 PM

I guess you could save I've been diggin Slint - tweez, Unicorns - who will cut our hair when we're gone?, Modest mouse - This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about, and Sigur Ros - Takk, because those are the CD's I just bought.

Ornery Cephalopod 09-15-2005 04:36 PM

Black Heart Procession - Amore del Tropico

I finally got over my slight dislike of the singer and gave it a proper full listen. The singer is no longer an issue. Dig+.

And some old digs I'm still diggin' and/or re-diggin':

Clutch
Orange Goblin
Dungen
Olivia Tremor Control

Happymeal 09-15-2005 04:43 PM

[QUOTE=Ornery Cephalopod]Black Heart Procession - Amore del Tropico[/QUOTE]

Awesome. Overall I wouldn't want to listen to it often but I keep coming back for "Tropics of Love" and "Broken World".

It's hard to listen to Mu's Afro Finger & Gel but/because it's wild as. Other than that it's just some Maudlin of the Well and Deltron 3030

asdf 09-15-2005 04:46 PM

I've recently been getting back into the residents.

The commercial album is officially one of my favorite albums of all time. It's amazing. I can't believe I've ignored it for 3 years or so.

More Little Brother. Some Patti Smith.

With the exception of the jokey r&b stuff and skits, [I]The Minstrel Show[/I] is **** good. Not as good as [I]The Listening[/I], but good.
