Centaur - [I]In Streams[/I]

The band that came after Hum, featuring the returning vocalist and 2 guys from other bands. It does resemble the heavy and melodic style that the aforementioned band had but Centaur comes out a little more dirty and aggressive(without being needed to be categorized with bands such as Isis). A different animal altogether.

Sounds interesting. I will have to check them out.

TalkingHead 10-17-2005 06:33 PM

Deathprod - Morals And Dogma
Angels Of Light - Everything Is Good Here

The latter is either the most brilliant record I've ever heard, or the worst. I cant make up my mind. Think Folk gone Post Rock.

Slint - [i]Spiderland[/i]

This band is superhuman.

Little Man being Erased 10-17-2005 08:22 PM

I'm listening to [I]Pinkerton[/I] again.

Alex, I had my first listen of your album before that. I need to listen to it a few more times before passing any kind of judgement though.

Zappa 10-17-2005 08:43 PM

Can't even drop a first impression? Oh well. I hope you do give me some feedback either here or on a RYM PM if you give it more listens.

I can only listen through laptop speakers at the moment, so it's hard to judge, but after I give it a listen through a decent set of speakers I'll let ya know.

Indeed. I gave that album a spin the other day and I still can't believe what I'm hearing no matter how many times I've played it.

Is that a compilation or a normal studio album?

guitarded_chuck 10-18-2005 07:23 PM

Someone mentioned Mineral a couple days ago, and I've been listening to them since. [I]Power Of Failing[/I] is easily the better of the two albums that they put out.

Ryan Adams - [i]Gold[/i]
Syd Barrett - [i]The Madcap Laughs[/i]

I just got Animal Collective's new record, [i]Feels[/i]. I imagine I'm going to be listening to this for a while.

Robert Crumb 10-18-2005 08:26 PM

Calvin Johnson - Before the Dream Fades
Dios (Malos) - Dios (Malos)

I've been anxiously awaiting the latter, playing it for the first time right now. Hmmm.

I actually just dug out my old Rites of Spring record... too bad they didn't last long

No, but the name of their genre did, and not before becoming a taboo word.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]I Heart Hiroshima[/QUOTE]

Tell that brother of yours that I'm still waiting for my cd. :p

I'm really enjoying Isis tonight. I listened to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah most of the day at school.

Bukowski 10-19-2005 06:40 AM

Thanks to Happymeal's recommendation some time ago, I've currently been digging Jerk With a Bomb quite a bit. Awsome.

Also:

Sigur Ros - Takk
Minor Threat - Complete Discography
Bad Brains - I Against I
Two Gallants - The Throes

The Decemberists are playing here in November, i'm definitely going. Two Gallants are the support, and they are fantastic as well. Should be a great night.

Interstate 10-19-2005 12:18 PM

Been listening to a funk/motown mix that I made the other day. Favourite song on there is Superstition by Stevie Wonder. Such a brilliant wake up song.

TalkingHead 10-19-2005 01:39 PM

[QUOTE=asymm]Brilliant record! I'm glad someone's listening to this. What have you thought of it?[/QUOTE]

I was speechless. I spent 3 hours listening to [I]Dead People's Things[/I] on repeat. And I just got his boxset yesterday, and it's become my most prized possetion. Easily the finest in dark ambience that I have heard of to this day. I just need to find some of his Supersilent records.

Nifty avy and custom title man :cool:.

Im also enjoying

Franz Ferdinand
Pulp

I've been in Pulp obsession mode for about a month. How these guys aren't universally recognised as the greatest band ever in the history of anything I'll never know. They released 3 solid albums which I wouldn't hesitate giving a biased 7/5, then a final one which was still 4/5 territory. I love most of the britpop bands and groups to come out of this era/style, but man oh man these guys kill them all.

Yeah but you're wrong about everything.

Yeah yeah. I know no one feels the same way but if I can convert just one person into a massive Pulp fan my life will be complete.
