I don't really even like the Datsuns, but live in a sweaty club they were great.

I just ordered 'Oceanic' by Isis at the HMV down the road. I was going to get a godspeed LP too but I couldn't decide between the first and '...skinny fists...'. Any Ideas? I already have Yanqui UXO.

Tapeworm 08-19-2004 09:08 AM

i had the same question recently. I have been advised that they are equally good, but buying "F#A#" first is the way, as it is their first.

Nick Cave - The Boatman's Call

Are 90% of the songs really about PJ Harvey? The album is great nonetheless.

I'm also digging my Joni Mitchell collection...I listened to Hejira, Court & Spark, Blue and Ladies Of The Canyon in a row today. Amazing lyrics.

Got my Muse tickets this morning. It'll be my first real show. Anyone got any tips?

If you want to get to the front get there super early, but be prepared to have a large horizontal bruise across your chest from the barrier. I think it's more fun to stand slightly further back and jump around. Don't be afraid to use your elbows to get people out of your way, it's all kosher. Go for a crap before the gig, have something to do during the support acts.

Practice standing up for prolonged periods to get your back used to it.

OK :thumb:

Just enjoy yourself, don't get violent and if someone falls down help 'em up.

I'd advise you to brace yourself, because Muse will rock your face off.

You'll love it. Just have a good time and don't be stupid, and the rock will flow like wine.

I just downloaded some Big Black songs. I'm not a big Alt/Indie guy. I'm just trying to get into it. :p

Tomahawk and Tangy had some really good tips. Apart from that, don't be too concerned about getting right to the front, unless you really feel you have to. Wear comfortable shoes, and pants that wont fall down :p . If you are going with friends, organize a place to meet at the end and don't worry about losing them in the crowd during the concert. Support the support bands, especially if they are unknown and aren't getting too much of a positive response from the people that don't give a crap about them. Have lots of fun man!!!

After hearing the new Jeff Buckley song "Forget Her" and seeing the clip I am beginning a massive Jeff binge. I'm listening to Grace at the moment. The whole next week shall hereby be dedicated to Jeff Buckley.

Tapeworm 08-19-2004 10:54 PM

That's like the exact same thing posted when I heard it. Cool as.

Tomahawk 08-19-2004 11:06 PM

"Forget Her" is pretty good, especially for an unreleased track.

And right now I am loving the Pogues. Yay for Ireland!

Tangy zizzle 08-20-2004 03:14 AM

The Walkmen are very good. especially [I]Bows + Arrows[/I], it is a top release.

hybridofsound 08-20-2004 04:05 AM

I picked up Brand New's first album [I]Your Favorite Weapon[/I]. Fantastic stuff. I highly suggest:
The No Seatbelt Song
Seventy Times Seven
Failure By Design
Jude Law And The Semester Abroad
Soco Amaretto Lime

Infact buy the album.

br3ad_man 08-20-2004 06:19 AM

I downloaded that cd last night and I really like it.

Thanks for all the tips everyone.

OrbDragon 08-20-2004 07:32 AM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Orb, give Mercury Rev a try if you haven't heard them yet. I believe you'll enjoy them.[/QUOTE]


I heard Deserter Songs...which is pretty decent. Their new stuff, "All Is Dream" etc. is pretty disappointing. When Jonathan Donahue starts to sing...it usually makes me cringe. "The Tides Of The Moon" is a good song though.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Got my Muse tickets this morning. It'll be my first real show. Anyone got any tips?[/QUOTE]

muse will get pretty rough right around the middle and throughout the entire crowd, just be prepared to stand your ground, just sorta let everything flow around you and keep your eyes on the stage...

br3ad_man 08-20-2004 05:20 PM

Can somone reccomend me some Gyroscope songs?

Little Man being Erased 08-20-2004 09:30 PM

^^^^ You need to talk to Tapeworm about them. He should be able to help.

Master Arkam Kannon 08-21-2004 09:28 AM

Daniel Johnston
and finally focusing on non live Elliot Smith songs, wonderful...

Tapeworm 08-21-2004 11:31 AM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Can somone reccomend me some Gyroscope songs?[/QUOTE]

Just go for the biggest songs. They are what got me into them.

Confidence in Confiedentiality
Safe Forever
Doctor Doctor

Amazing band.

Happymeal 08-21-2004 08:17 PM

^Sorry for being ignorant, but I haven't heard of Gyroscope before.:p

/me needs some education:upset:

Yesterday I bought Endtroducing.. and Diary!! Both are fantastic..:D +I got my first Opeth album(Deliverance, I heard it's not their best, but I can't find Morningrise or Blackwater Park anywhere!). I'm also digging Head Automatica right now..Dance/punk(or whatever it's called)is cool.:cool:

Tapeworm 08-21-2004 09:00 PM

^ ^ ^ Doesn't mean you're ignorant, especially if you don't live in Australia. Download those songs if you feel like checking them out.

Doctor D. 08-21-2004 09:07 PM

I just bought the new "Preisdents of the United States Of America" a;bum , "Love Everyone". It is quite amazing.

Tomahawk 08-21-2004 11:12 PM

[QUOTE=Doctor D.]I just bought the new "Preisdents of the United States Of America" a;bum , "Love Everyone". It is quite amazing.[/QUOTE]

I just downloaded that, and I'm listening to it now. I thought it would suck, but it's actually really good! The Presidents were the first band I liked, and it's pretty simple stuff, but it's really catchy.

Clone 08-22-2004 12:46 AM

Ive been really digging on Radiohead: Com Lag, Fugazi: The Argument and Tool, Lateralus.

br3ad_man 08-22-2004 12:48 AM

I like you

still_ur_heart 08-22-2004 01:29 AM

I have listened to Switchfoot an awful lot and I really like "Twenty Four", "Let That Be Enough" and "The Beautiful Letdown" and of course "Meant To Live" but since i've fallen asleep to them every night for the past 2 weeks, I'd really like my Orange Co. soundtrack back and my Alt. Nation burned CD back....both of which my dad totally stole from me. My Alt. Nation CD is AWESOME cause it has wicked a** songs on it. I just named it that after my Sirius station cause I couldnt think of any other names...:(

...Really?

Ennio Morricone has been pleasing my ears. He's a genius.

I've also been getting back into Elliot Smith after hearing [I]Angeles[/I] while watching [I]The Girl Next Door[/I]. He was really something wasn't he!

Tangy zizzle 08-22-2004 01:40 AM

Hot Snakes - [I]Suicide Invoice[/I] has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official [B]Album of The Week[/B]
