Yeah, Jack Johnson is really big in Australia. It gets real boring real quick for me.

Tomahawk 09-10-2004 12:48 AM

Meh, Jack Johnson is ok. "Flake" is a good song. But yeah, "camp-fire songs" is a pretty accurate description.

The Ashtray Girl 09-11-2004 06:05 AM

I'm getting very into lots of acoustic people like Ryan Adams, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake - all very good stuff.

Tomahawk 09-11-2004 07:25 AM

I'm kinda trying to get into jazz right now. I'm really liking John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme".

Happymeal 09-11-2004 09:52 AM

^I've been wanting to get into jazz these days. I'll check Coltrane out. Jaco Pastorius/Weather Report as well.

Whoo.. I just finished my first album review(The Fall Of Troy's self titled).. took me long enough.:p

You = the best.

Luxor 09-11-2004 11:50 AM

Yeah, Jack Johnson was alright. I only like "Flake" "Cupid" and "Bubbletoes", the rest of the songs are extremely boring. I had never heard of the 2 opening bands; G-Love and Donovon Frankenreader (I think?). I dunno, I don't even care what their names were, they both sucked.

Basically it was the only concert I've ever been too where I was so bored I wanted to go home, but, I went for my girlfriend... And she had a good time, so it's all good. :thumb:

Tapeworm 09-11-2004 11:54 AM

Eh, I used to dig some of G-Love's stuff. My favourite JJ song is Bubbletoes. :thumb:

theicecreamman 09-11-2004 07:34 PM

I like Flake and Horizon has been defeated, but I don't like Bubbletoes.

Everyone should check out They Might Be Giants. Everything off of "Mink Car" is great. Esp. Cyclops Rock, I've Got a Fang, and She Thinks She's Edith Head.

I also really dig that new band Skindred. (I think it's pronounces like "kindred" with an S at the beginning). That song "Nobody" is quite good.

Tangy zizzle 09-11-2004 11:38 PM

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - [I]Murder Ballads[/I] Has been declared Tangy Zizzle's Official [B]Album of The Week[/B]

Liberi 09-12-2004 03:55 AM

Lately I've really been digging [i]Soweto String Quartet[/i], especially their work on the Zebra Crossing album.

Little Man being Erased 09-12-2004 06:59 AM

I've been getting heavily back into Ryan Adams' "Love is Hell". It's really bloody awesome stuff. I think I'm actually nearly liking it more than "Gold"... but maybe not.

Tapeworm 09-12-2004 07:15 AM

I think it is much better than "Gold". I love it.

I've been listening constantly to: Missy Higgins, Coheed and Cambria, and Something For Kate.

Well_Respected_Man 09-12-2004 12:28 PM

My favorite bands this week are:

Royal Trux
Apples In Sterow
The Fiery Furnaces

hollywood_bitch 09-12-2004 01:28 PM

[QUOTE=asymm]recently I've been looking back at some 80s classics. Joy Division, The Smiths, and the like...fantastic stuff[/QUOTE]

dude, are you trying to depress yourself enuff to kill yourself??!!!

Happymeal 09-12-2004 01:30 PM

I'm listening to my Jade Tree comp. again. Girls Against Boys + Denali(<3)

The Ashtray Girl 09-12-2004 01:32 PM

Getting majorly into Eve 6 - wahoo! I am also currently reviewing Horrorscope, expect it to be posted by the end of the evening. Gotta love self-advertising.

Luxor 09-12-2004 06:19 PM

I downloaded Elliot Smith - XO, [i]so[/i] good.

Muse last night was the best thing ever.

EVER.

Tomahawk 09-12-2004 10:43 PM

I was supposed to be going to see Muse a few days ago, but then the universe conspired against me.

Oh well.

Booyah!

CommieCanada 09-13-2004 10:49 PM

The Spill Canvas is a band that has been introduced to me by Jon (bleedthesky) and i must say it is some of the most enjoyable acoustic stuff i have listened to in a long while

Happymeal 09-14-2004 04:45 AM

^I discovered The Spill Canvas on smartpunk and they're ok. Haven't heard much stuff about them though.

I'm random-band browsing on epitonic, and Low and The Swans have caught my attention..

Happymeal 09-14-2004 05:33 AM

Now I'm liking Blonde Redhead-Misery Is A Butterfly, great song. I'll be researching about them the next few days. *delighted*

DavidBowieWasHere 09-14-2004 08:14 AM

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Ok so heres a semi-new idea for a thread. Basically, you just post what ever song,album or artist you have really been liking at the moment. If it's a new band you could put a little bit about them, good songs etc...

So if this works well enough, we could maybe get it sticky'd ( Nacho? ).

Well, a cool new(ish) band I've been listening to alot lately is [B]These Arms Are Snakes[/B] . They are a post-hardcore,art punky band who have one EP out called [I]This is Mean to Hurt You[/I].

Good songs to check out would be:

The Blue Rose
Drinking From the Necks of Loved Ones
Run it Through the Dog
Riding the Grape Dragon

[CENTER]---------------------------------------[/CENTER]

I have been listening to Neil Young's [I]Rust Never Sleeps[/I] alot lately and have come to the conclusion that it is my favourite Neil Young album. Definately check it out!

[CENTER]---------------------------------------[/CENTER]

Television - Friction is one incredible song. Ahead of it's time.


If you guys think this is a [I]s[/I]hitty idea for a thread just say so. If not, update with new stuff whenever you feel the need.[/QUOTE]
TELEVISION'S AWESOME! But no, haven't been listening to them! *LOL*

I've rediscovered a great band called Toad the Wet Sprocket. Listening to the album [i]Fear[/i]. Also, Carlos Santana and Mahavishnu John McLaughlin's [i]Love, Devotion, Surrender[/i]. Great stuff there, too.

Tomahawk 09-14-2004 09:15 AM

I'm loving Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds right now. Got their best of today, it's tasty.

Also digging Missy Higgins. I got her CD today, it's delicious.

Tapeworm 09-14-2004 09:39 AM

Woah man, those are the two artists I've been digging today.

I'm also currently spinning the "Lost in Translation" soundtrack. Best soundtrack ever.

Luxor 09-14-2004 03:22 PM

[QUOTE=BMM]why dont you listen to them again before u go dissing them. you only heard them at a show. donavon blows jack out of the water.[/QUOTE]

[i]Only[/i] heard them at a show? Yeah, he played for 45 minutes. I'm pretty sure I got a decent idea of what he's like... boring.

br3ad_man 09-14-2004 05:28 PM

I've been liking The Bends lately. I'm trying to listen to more guitar music, I'm getting over electronica a bit.

Happymeal 09-14-2004 05:36 PM

Low and Blonde Redhead!!<3 (even if I've only heard one song from both, haha)

Dark Hero 09-14-2004 06:05 PM

The Shins
The Modern Lovers

I'm really getting into The Shins lately, they rock. \m/

el doctor 09-14-2004 06:08 PM

Their music took me a surprising amount of time to get into. I found it a bit boring and repetetive at first, but after going back to some of their stuff, I really like it.

Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, and Bright Eyes.

fearlessvampirekiller 09-14-2004 10:46 PM

iv been really into bedouin soundclash. and fake cops.
