Nick Drake

He's like sex twice. With an unbelievably attractive girl.

Andrew Bird - The Mysterious Production Of Eggs

I'm really liking this.

ATM 07-29-2005 04:17 PM

I'm going to see Apocalyptica, so I am getting ready for that :-D

YDload 07-29-2005 04:31 PM

Yes. I've listened to the three longest tracks on [i]Fragile[/i] now, so I would probably want to get the whole album now. Chalk it up to yet another purchase I NEED to make:

Mr. Bungle- California
Melvins- Houdini
Iron Maiden- Killers
Yes- Fragile

Ugh, and then I need to get the new SOAD and Coheed albums when they come out. Why must I be cursed with a terrible attraction to weird and/or cheesy bands?

Iai 07-29-2005 04:32 PM

I heard that new Coheed single. Epic stuff.

Happymeal 07-29-2005 06:50 PM

King Brothers - [I]Blues[/I]
Nobuo Uematsu & Shiro Hamaguchi - [I]Final Fantasy VII Piano Collections[/I]

Just got these both awhile ago. Sweet.

Sonic Youth - [i]Murray Street[/i]
This is an album that I don't listen to enough. I really enjoy it whenever I break it out, but I just don't do it very frequently.

Bukowski 07-30-2005 07:26 AM

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
The Filaments - Skull and trombones
Slowdive - Souvlaki

OrbDragon 07-30-2005 07:32 AM

I heard alot about Slowdive lately...what are they like?

Currently into:

Sebadoh (great band, vastly underrated)
Triggerfinger (good Belgian band...better than Millionaire IMO)
Cake
Presidents Of The USA
Siouxsie & The Banshees
The Delgados
Thomas Dybdahl & That Great October Sound
Zero 7

Bukowski 07-30-2005 07:44 AM

Slowdive...they're pretty mellow, My Bloody Valentine-esque, with quiet vocals on top of guitar noise. I guess you'd call them noise rock, or shoegaze.

I'm not good with descriptions, but they're really good.

And to continue with the questions...what are Presidents of the USA like? I've heard a song by them, called Peaches, which was kinda fun, but i never checked an album or anything. Any worth getting?

OrbDragon 07-30-2005 07:56 AM

I like MBV...so I think I'll check Slowdive out.

The Presidents of the USA ae a fun altrock/pop rock band from Seattle, that write goofy, catchy tunes. They really have a cool sound, sometimes they play with guitars and bass guitars that only have two or three snares, to add to their quirkiness. "Peaches" is they most wellknown song....but "Dune Buggy", "Kitty" and "Volcano" are also nice tunes...they recently came back together but their new material isn't as good as the stuff they released before they broke up.

Bukowski 07-30-2005 08:02 AM

Sounds fun, i'll try and get my hands on one of their pre break-up releases.

OrbDragon 07-30-2005 08:11 AM

I downloaded "Some Velvet Morning" and I wasn't too impressed...it sounds kind of stagnant. One of that traits that I like about My Bloody Valentine (especially on the album Loveless) is that the melody seemed to move slightly out of control at times...as if the sound was alive and had it's own consciousness. That was part of it's beauty. Then again...it's had to fathom that the song I heard is Slowdive's best...so I'm going to down some more stuff.

Orb!

where have you been?[/QUOTE]


My neighbours recently decided to wake me from my cryogenic tomb when they couldn't stand the loud music anymore.

:thumb:

I'm sure glad you're still here Nacho...I was afraid this place might've become overloaded with spamming by now...

Zappa 07-30-2005 11:45 AM

I'm still here too, and it's cool to see you posting again.

Master Arkam Kannon 07-30-2005 12:56 PM

Its actually very nice to see you. We've all just become random obessive people dividing our time between real life and this click click existance.

Hooray for Orb! I still remember that his favorite song ever is "Undo" by Bjork :thumb:

br3ad_man 07-30-2005 06:34 PM
