Art Blakey - [I]Moanin'[/I] (for like the 6th time in the last two days or so)
The Early November - [I]Room's Too Cold[/I]
The Reindeer Section

Battles, thanks to Slugbert.

They're a sweet math rock band, with some bluesy elements.

There, I'm helpful.

Yesterday I went back to school. It was a long drive so I listened to some music on the way:

Husker Du- [i]Zen Arcade[/i] If you don't know what this band is like, it's like punk but with more melodic vocals/songwriting. It's who Green Day owes an awful lot to.

Mastodon- [i]Leviathan[/i] Whale metal. It's an album about Moby Dick, and the music really fits the lyrics in invoking imagery of sailing the high seas and being consumed by madness. I've had the song "Aqua Dementia" stuck in my head all day, what with its crazy guitar intro and growling, raspy vocals.

Television- [i]Marquee Moon[/i] Most people know how much I've been digging this album lately, but if you still don't know then I'll tell you what it is. It's The Rolling Stones if they were a punk band, or The Strokes if the guitarist and bassist decided to play something worth a damn.

I know most of you already are somewhat familiar with these albums, but I'm trying to promote more words in this thread, per tangy's request.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Husker Du does not = Green Day. The Ramones, the Buzzcocks, etc. = Green Day.[/QUOTE]

Green Day was heavily influenced by them, they were even mentioned in GD's Behind the Music episode.

Björk - Vespertine
Calexico - Feast Of Wire
Mr Bungle - California
dEUS - Pocket Revolution
Ani DiFranco - So Much Shouting So Much Laughter

I think I got sentimental and started listening to the records I've been whoring the most the past 5 years as a MXican.

If I make it another 5 years, I should be considered as unlikely to be banned as Tim Duncan leaving The Spurs.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Well they certainly sound nothing alike, so don't get people all misled.

Cat Power - [I]The Greatest[/I]

I think I like this more than [I]You Are Free[/I]. The title track alone is worth the price of admission (which was $0 on soulseek).[/QUOTE]

I haven't heard that one yet. Isn't it a compilation?

I've been listening to Danse Macabre by The Faint. I stumbled upon them today at my friend's house and I am in love with them. I love Glass Danse and The Conductor.

Jaga Jazzist. Absolutley in love with this band right now.

I've been listening to The Drovers, which is an irish folk/rock band from the 90's. Mostly for nostalgia. Back when I was a little kid, in the early-mid 90's, my mom really loved this band. I used to sing the songs (weither music was playing or not), and I distictly remember being at an outdoor concert of theirs when I was 4. It reminds me of being carefree and happy for no reason. Plus, the music really isn't that bad.

One day they came to our town, and my mom had heard word of where they were going to a party a few blocks away from us. So her and her friend went there, and found no one but the drovers there. So they were invited to my house, where cases of beer were sent over (it was in their contract), and they played with my brother's action figures. Crazy stuff.

And this nostalgic music has caused me to listen to my dad's band's music, off their best CD. It's also irish/folk/rock sort of music that I've heard a million times. Every thursday I went to the drummer's house for my dad's band practice. We watched TV, but the sound was usually low or off. I remember listening to the music that was playing in the basement. I know every note of every song on this album.

So what I've been diggin' lately?
The Drovers
The Willeys

Melt Banana - Cell-Scape

and also a neat little somewhat-Sabbath-y throwback band called Witchcraft

Burton Wagner - In the Realms of the Unreal.

Fantabulous, Subtle Dagger is a gifted child.

Ha, I got that in the mail too.

It's a 3/5, not bad.

He's got skills.

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]I got in the mail b4 u.[/QUOTE]

That's because he likes you.

Alot.

Phish's new live album is pretty da[Size=2]m[/Size]n good.

Lightning Bolt's new Hypermagic Mountain, The Locust's new self titled album, Deerhoof, The Moog documentary....

and CAN..Dirty jesus I love can!

Buddy Rich - [i]Swingin' New Big Band[/i]
Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - [I]Moanin'[/I]

[QUOTE=cheeto-t]Phish's new live album is pretty da[Size=2]m[/Size]n good.[/QUOTE]

Phish is right up there with Creed for the most boring band with a kickass guitarist.

[QUOTE=no peros calentes]That's because he likes you.

I like black candy.

Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers - [I]Moanin'[/I][/QUOTE]

Excellent.

Autechre is pretty great.

I'm diggin' on Amber at the moment.

It's electronica, for those who didn't know.

Listening to some songs from Goblin ****.. stoner-ish metal band in which Rob Crow(Pinback, Heavy Vegetable, etc) sings in. It's kind of boring so far, since his singing mixed with the slow, repetitive riffing is NOT a good combination. lol @ album cover

Incunabla and Tri Repeate are the best.

ATDI - [I]In/Casino/Out[/I]
Converge - [I]Jane Doe[/I]
The Magic Numbers (Iai's front page RYM review made me give it a second chance)

[QUOTE=mentalstephanie]I've been listening to Danse Macabre by The Faint. I stumbled upon them today at my friend's house and I am in love with them. I love Glass Danse and The Conductor.[/QUOTE]

I enjoy the music of The Faint.

Matisyahu
Stars

Yet another odd combo.

Pulp - [I]Different Class[/I]
The Strokes - [I]First Impressions of Earth[/I]

Nice, Pulp.

Serge Gainsbourg

Fantomas - The Director's Cut

You know, it's like DEP if they were poppy and not insane. I enjoy it.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]So who else noticed this noise-snack kid who has three posts and great taste?[/QUOTE]
I did... nice to get some new blood. Hopefully he'll stick around.

Digging:
Strønen/Storløkken - [i]Humcrush[/i]
It's an improv electronic/jazz group with the drummer from Food (Strønen) and the keyboardist from Supersilent (Storløkken). They create very playful and seemingly choreographed work. The interplay between these two musicians is very impressive, recommended to fans of the genre.

I saw one of their videos through the magic of On Demand cable. It was neat. But I can see how it would get boring.

While on the subject of Rob Crow, one band I've been semi-diggin' lately is Team Sleep, which has Rob Crow doing some guest vocals on some songs.

Man Man - [I]Six Demon Bag[/I]
Carnival-like arrangements with sleazy vocals. It rules. I wish I could find their first album somewhere :(

The Gories - [I]I Know You Fine, But How You Doin'[/I]
Detroit-based garage rock. Recommended for fans of The Dirtbombs and the like.

My Morning Jacket - [I]Z[/I]
Completely different than anything else MMJ have done. They dropped their country sound and added a dream pop element.

Horrible Rob Crow project. Even worse than Pinback.

Modest Mouse
Don Cab
Battles

Paul McCartney - [I]Chaos and Creation in the Backyard[/I]
Depeche Mode - [I]Violator[/I]

Mogwai - Young Team
Minutemen - Double Nickels On the Dime
Modest Mouse - Lonesome Crowdest West

Against Me! - As the Eternal Cowboy
Against Me! - Acoustic EP
Against Me! - Reinventing of Axl Rose
Against Me! - Cavalier Eternel

I can see a pattern.

The Godfathers - This Da[Size=2]m[/Size]n Nation.

Broken Social Scene and Envy.

I looooove this band called Rogue Wave. The single, Nourishment Nation, is really fun. Anyone else listen to them?
