You have to wait twenty-four hours.

[QUOTE=I Was A Kaleidoscope]Sarah Blasko - The Overture & The Underscore
The Grates - The Ouch. The Touch.[/QUOTE]

Just bought those two.


My friend gave me some music by this band called God is an Astronaut. It's ok. The start of the song he showed me is nearly identical to 'A Warm Place' by Nine Inch Nails.

Doctor D. 01-25-2006 07:06 AM

I've been loooooooooving The Flaming Lips asoflate. I can't stop listening to "In a Priest Driven Ambulence" and the new single "W.A.N.D". Such a great band.

Tomahawk 01-25-2006 09:50 AM

I can't find WAND anywhere, and it's upsetting me.

I've been listening to [I]The Mekons Rock n Roll[/I] today. That and Sleater-Kinney.

Interstate 01-25-2006 11:38 AM

Haven't listened to any music in the last two days or so, I listened to Anthony & The Johnsons - [I]I Am A Bird Now[/I] going to work on Friday and I'm convinced it's one of my favourites of 2005.

Bukowski 01-25-2006 01:53 PM

The Replacements - Tim
Bob Marley & the Wailers - Catch Fire
The Toasters - Ska Killers

The NPC 01-25-2006 02:04 PM

It's been a Yo La Tengo week.

Captain Beefheart & his Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica

Man, i love the drummer on this album so much. He's excellent. I'm debating what Beefheart album to get next, as i've only heard this + Ice Cream for Crow.

You can listen to it on their myspace, if you just want to hear it.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Panic! At the Disco, unfortunately. I'm reviewing their album for the school newspaper and I posted the review on Sputnik, just to get back in the swing of things.[/QUOTE]

If you, NPC, Zappa and Tangy wrote reviews for every band you hated, we'd need a new forum.

NPC's would all just say "this band sucks because they're crappy;" Mine would all be "this band sucks because they make passionless music for the sake of being weird;" Nacho's would all be "this band sucks because they're derivative and idiotic."

and Tangy's would be "this band sucks because I don't like them"?

Hey you, watch that mouth boy!

The Drones - [I]Wait Long by the River & the Bodies of Your Enemies Will Float By[/I]

This is such a badass album. It goes from hardcore revved up Crazy Horse type rockers, to slow burning blues jams, to Birthday Party craziness to weird, delicate and mournful ballads. Why are they not bigger I ask? Why?

pixiesfanyo 01-25-2006 07:42 PM

School of the Flower.

yum, i love this on vinyl.

if they were bigger then you wouldnt like them as much "meh, ive heard em enough times."

I was feeling cheeky :p

[quote]Why are they not bigger I ask? Why?[/QUOTE]

Because it's impossible to find their cds anywhere?

NPC would get mad at a band for not being post punk enough.

Speaking of post punk, actually, I've been digging Gang Of Four's [I]Entertainment![/I] lately. Wicked album, recommended for fans of The Clash and/or Joy Division.

pixiesfanyo 01-25-2006 08:25 PM

Does anyone else really really dislike The Clash?

YDload 01-25-2006 08:39 PM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Does anyone else really really dislike The Clash?[/QUOTE]

i could live without them. American punk > British punk

br3ad_man 01-25-2006 08:39 PM

Well, now I feel slightly more normal.

I've been listening to:

Tom Waits - [i]Rain Dogs[/i]
Sufjan - [i]Illinois[/i]
Trophy Scars - [i]Hospital Music[/i]

All I need is Rock The Casbah and I could be happy for a long time.

[QUOTE=YDload]if they were bigger then you wouldnt like them as much "meh, ive heard em enough times."[/QUOTE]

My favourite artists are as follows:

Queens of the Stone Age
Weezer
The Stooges
Black Sabbath
Sublime
Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals
Wilco
Hot Snakes
Nick cave & the Bad Seeds
Bob Dylan

With the exception of Hot Snakes, I'd say that my favourite bands (ie bands I love a whooole lot) are all pretty popular/well known. I've never snubbed a band because of their status or stopped liking them because of their popularity. So get f[I]u[/I]cked :)

Hm. So like everyone else I heard some mild comments about Sufjan in late '04 early '05. I checked out Illinois, and over the summer I liked it alot. But it sucks now, and I find Seven Swans to be his better album. It's shorter, it's more concise and it just seems like he cared more. Make sure you check it out bread.

oh man you're so scene. i didn't know anyone around here listened to these guys. they're great.

you like level-plane than?

Tangy zizzle 01-25-2006 08:47 PM

Huh?

I looked. I like Envy and Hot Cross, so I'll say... no, I don't really like Level plane.

i know you like a lot of popular bands, but there can be too much of a good thing. i thought SOAD's [i]Mezmerize[/i] was one of the strongest albums of their career, but I got sick of hearing BYOB on the radio all the time too.

maybe its just the annoying pauses for the radio editing though.

Tangy zizzle 01-25-2006 08:59 PM

If it's good, I don't really get sick of it.

JonM 01-25-2006 09:00 PM

Just wanted to get the 13,000th post in here ;)

I, uh, dig things. I dig reggae a lot.

Yeah, [I]Seven Swans[/I] is definitely better. I dig [i]Illinois[/i] more now because on iTunes I have two names for the album:

Illinois
Illinois (actual songs)

The second one has all of the annoying filler removed and makes a really solid album. If he had cut it down to 11 tracks, it would have been in the top 10 of the year.

I'm going to take a nap to [i]Laughing Stock[/i]

Daniel! 01-25-2006 11:02 PM

Erik Petersen/Robert Blake - [I]Bellingham & Philidelphia[/I]
Captain Chaos - [I]Captain Chaos[/I]

That Captain Chaos album is fun.

Dillinger Escape Plan- Calculating Infinity

I shouldn't have listened to this right before bed. My head's still ringing and I think that angry man is coming to get me :(

Zmev 01-26-2006 12:32 AM

Big Black - The Hammer Party

rbv 01-26-2006 12:55 AM

I really like The Microphones - Song Islands.

I'm really surpised though because I thought it was a post-unicorns side project but when I found out that it had nothing to do with them I was like wow. Phil Evrum sounds a lot like the Unicorns.
