I just downloaded The Stooges - Fun House, so I'll likely be digging that for the next little while.

[I]Shakti with John McLaughlin Live[/I]

British guitarist pretends he's Indian when he plays an energetic fusion of his jazz-rock background and Indian traditional music. He is joined in the trio by tabla player Zakir Hussain and violinist L. Shankar.

The Band
Bob Dylan
Adewale Ayuba (African music pioneer)

What kind of pisses me off about this, because I'm really anal retentive and lame, is that I listen to this group for 52 minutes, and it only records three tracks on my scrobbler. Da[COLOR=White]m[/COLOR]n you, 29 minute songs!

I'm picturing the guy in your avatar saying that. It is quite entertaining.

Snakefinger and other residents-related groups. Mostly snakefinger, though.

Oh, and the mountain goats. That's some great great stuff.

What about the Cheese Cheesers?

Anxious 10-12-2005 06:13 PM

I listend to the commerical album twice in the last few days, and now the residents are really high on my lastfm due to the short songs.

Zappa 10-12-2005 06:14 PM

Yeah. That album is basically the reason the Residents are so high on my list. I love that album a lot, though.

The NPC 10-12-2005 06:17 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Guided By Voices - [i]Bee Thousand[/i] (5/5)

still the only album that always makes me feel better whenever I put it on.[/QUOTE]

That's the album I've been rotating with [I]Blank Generation [/I] in the ol' CD player today.

Happymeal 10-12-2005 06:18 PM

[QUOTE=Anxious Mo-Fo]I've been diggin Liquid Liquid. Sorta no wave in nature though they missed the time frame by a few years, minimal dance beats that remind me slightly of the Talking Heads.[/QUOTE]

They're kind of cool, but I got over them fast.

New diggage for today:

Wrens
Interpol
[I]Mit Gas[/I]
[I]The Inflated Tear[/I]

The residents are #1 on my list, even though my brother and I both stopped listening to them for quite awhile. The problem is that they come up on random play so often, so it's impossible to avoid.

Sometimes I get the feeling you're making fun of me.

How so?

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Iron On - Oh The Romance

Iron On are a new band from Brisbane (where I live). This is their debut album, and I love it. It's indie pop/rock with alternating male and female vocals in a similar style to Death Cab for Cutie, I guess. Very catchy stuff. They have some songs on purevolume ([URL=http://www.purevolume.com/ironon]link[/URL]), listen to the song off this album for a start.

They also have a website: [url]http://www.ironon.live.com.au/[/url][/QUOTE]
Hey, thanks! These guys are really good.

Happymeal 10-12-2005 06:47 PM

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Hey, thanks! These guys are really good.[/QUOTE]

Your bro got to plug them before you so he has the whoring rights. Unless you kill him or something.

Little Man being Erased 10-12-2005 06:54 PM

Yeah I know, but since he's hardly ever here, I may as well plug them too.




I guess I could kill him though...

My brother has it and I never got around to ripping it to my computer. But at least I have the song Megalodon :cool:

Also, here's a band that has my attention after one song: Tub Ring!

br3ad_man 10-13-2005 12:25 AM

At The Drive In

I don't usually bother with them, but I'm having fun with them today.

Their [i]Fermi Paradox[/i] album is neeaat. Their other stuff doesn't impress me as much.

I've been diggin': Toby Driver - [i]In the L...L...Library Loft[/i]

Solo album from the Kayo Dot dude. It's a bit out there.... The good stuff is great, but some of it is a bit too ambient and such for me.

YDload 10-13-2005 12:50 PM

[QUOTE=Ornery Cephalopod]Their [i]Fermi Paradox[/i] album is neeaat. Their other stuff doesn't impress me as much.[/QUOTE]

Well the song I heard was "The Promise Keeper" from their most recent album. Still pretty good.

Yeah, that's still a good album, but [i]Fermi Paradox[/i] is the main reason I really dig them.

morrissey 10-13-2005 02:43 PM

Aztec Camera.

He (basically a solo act, Roddy Frame) reminds me of Orange Juice in many ways. If you like OJ, the Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen etc. you'll probably really dig this stuff. I'm just listening to it for the first time so I can't recommend specific tracks just yet but the album I picked up (combination of [I]Knife[/I] and[I]Aztec Camera[/i] LPs) is classy.
