The single for it is really bad. I'm probably not going to buy it, there's stacks of Flaming Lips records I don't own yet and I lean more towards liking their older stuff better anyway.

I just hope they tour Australia.

No waiz you saw Iggy Pop this year.

Today I'm digging a good dose of Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, and Minor Threat. Furious hardcore punk ftw.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]and "Invocation"[/QUOTE]
Truth. Forgot about that. Such an awesome intro.


Billy Bragg - [I]Talking With the Taxman about Poetry[/I]

I can't get enough folk and country music at the moment.

pixiesfanyo 02-14-2006 04:13 PM

I think it's really funny that the singer of Kayo Dot loved Ween when he was little.

(in response to the ween talking)

Dog 02-14-2006 04:29 PM

I'm pretty bummed that I don't like the new 'Lips album.


Television - [I]Adventure[/I]
Calvin Johnson - [I]Before The Dream Faded[/I]
T. Rex - [I]Electric Warrior[/I]
and right now it's Destroyer - [I]Rubies[/I] (thanks asymm, this is good stuff)

[QUOTE=el doctor]Robert Pollard - From a Compound Eye

I've really been digging this since its release. Rather than trying to emulate the past or aim for radio play, Pollard just went and threw together a mix of some damn good songs.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, solid album.

Zappa 02-14-2006 04:36 PM

Mykill Miers (the Hitchcock of Hip-Hop) - [I]The Second Coming[/I]

This is a rap album I've had for a long time, but never heard anything about. It's got great beats. I'm digging it today.

Also on the playlist today was [I]Rembrant Pus[color=white]s[/color]yhorse[/I] by Butthole Surfers and Neu!'s self-titled.

In other weird musicians-who-like-other-musicians news: the lead singer of Dillinger Escape Plan hardly likes any heavy music at all. His favorite bands are My Bloody Valentine and The Dresden Dolls :amaze:

Also, what I'm diggin:

The Fall of Troy- [i]Doppleganger[/i]

This really isn't that bad, just because it's not as good as the S/T and has a few inferior remixes of songs from that first album. "Act One, Scene One" is a great song, especially the sudden appearance of some Justin Timberlake-style vocals for a verse. I dunno how to explain it, but it's really not that bad of an album.

Also: Dinosaur Jr.- "Thumb" This is still an amazing song, so hopeless yet beautiful, with a great outro solo.

Oh my gah last time they came here the show was so amazing.

They were supporting for some sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]tty band Greeley Estates. It was a great moment watching at least half of all the attendees leave before they even got onstage (I was one of them :) ).

Tangy zizzle 02-14-2006 07:01 PM

Silver Jews have been pumpin' on my stereo.

Little Man being Erased 02-14-2006 07:04 PM

Just finished digging ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - [I]Worlds Apart[/I]. It might not be quite as good as [I]Source Tags and Codes[/I], but it's still excellent.

About to start listening to some Bright Eyes.

Tangy zizzle 02-14-2006 07:32 PM

Listening to Strung Out right now, always good.

Chucked on Modey Lemon - [I]Thunder + Lightning[/I] couple hours ago, it's still fun to listen to. Like Whirlwind Heat, Stooges and G-funk Railroad all exploding together. wooooooooo

NineBitFable 02-14-2006 07:55 PM

Neutral Milk Hotel and Hum. And Swervedriver. QOTSA also. Joy Divison fits in there too.

bubbledeath 02-14-2006 08:01 PM

I'm really liking the new leaks (Flaming Lips, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grandaddy, ect ect.) and The Veronicas.

pixiesfanyo 02-14-2006 10:16 PM

Ry Cooder - Chavez Ravine
Thrice - The Illusion of Safety

Tangy zizzle 02-14-2006 10:21 PM

[I]Chavez Ravine[/I] is a great, great album. Seeing him live was so cool. Mad props pixiesfan

Little Man being Erased 02-14-2006 11:30 PM

Joy Division - [I]Closer[/I]
Wilco - [I]Yankee Hotel Foxtrot[/I]

I'm really starting to love Wilco.

Tangy zizzle 02-14-2006 11:43 PM

Yeah they really are a great band. I find YHF a tad overrated though, but then again [I]A Ghost is Born[/I] is my favourite.

BillCosby 02-14-2006 11:48 PM

Ted Leo - [I]Tell Balgeary, Balgury is Dead[/I]

The alternate versions of songs released elsewhere are average, but I love the other songs.

Jamie Lidell - [I]Multiply[/I]

This was in the mailing list, I'm really diggin' it a lot.

And I'm diggin the new FLips more than some of you seem to be.

Little Man being Erased 02-15-2006 12:12 AM

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]Yeah they really are a great band. I find YHF a tad overrated though, but then again A Ghost is Born is my favourite.[/QUOTE]
[I]Yankee Hotel Foxtrot[/I] is currently the only Wilco album I own, so I have no basis for comparison, but I really enjoy it. Eventually I'll get into the others too.

Zmev 02-15-2006 01:01 AM

Royksopp - the understainding

Little Man being Erased 02-15-2006 01:25 AM

Radiohead - [I]OK Computer[/I]
Black Mountain - [I]Black Mountain[/I]

Haven't listened to Black Mountain in quite a while. Pretty good album though.

br3ad_man 02-15-2006 03:19 AM

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]ewww, gross.

Hmm, I like them, they're like a fun version of Kelly Clarkson. Maybe it's just that they pwn most of the stuff on the radio I have to listen to at work for hours on end.

This cool epic psych prog metalcore band added my on myspace. You guys might like them. I only listened to one song, but yeah, it was good.

[url]www.mysapce.com/clerickill[/url]

I'm listening to maudlin now. Birth Pains of Astral Projection is one of the best songs ever.

pixiesfanyo 02-15-2006 06:11 AM

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle][I]Chavez Ravine[/I] is a great, great album. Seeing him live was so cool. Mad props pixiesfan[/QUOTE]

It must've been. I've been casually digging Chavez for a few months now, after a recommendation. It seems like it is a slow grower in my case, because originally I thought it was just a good album, but now I'm understanding why alot of people I know said it was their favorite release of '05.

Today I'm digging Cyne's - Evolution Fight. I think I talked about it before, but it's some really solid rap. Great words, great production, and great messages. If you want a sample download Haze.

Jawaharal 02-15-2006 06:45 AM

I'm seeing wilco in march I think.

I've been digging envy and some kodan armada.

JonM 02-15-2006 10:29 AM

Yo, Wilco is coming to my SCHOOL!

asymm 02-15-2006 10:51 AM

Weird choices for me so far today...

Earth - [i]Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method[/i]
Sunn 0))) - [i]Black One[/i]

Bartender 02-15-2006 11:24 AM

MC5 - Kick Out the Jams
Sleater Kinney - The Woods

Both slightly disappointing, in their own ways.

I've also been listening, and re-listening, and re-listening, to [i]A Night on the Town With the Rat Pack[/i]. For a cheap, less than serious-looking release, it's so ridiculously good.

Jawaharal 02-15-2006 01:18 PM

[QUOTE=JonM]Yo, Wilco is coming to my SCHOOL![/QUOTE]
The only band that came to my school was some disney boy band in 4th grade. =(

[QUOTE=cheeto-t]The only band that came to my school was some disney boy band in 4th grade. =([/QUOTE]

Moffits?

JonM: :chug:

As for me, I've been digging:

The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
Egyptian Lover - On the Nile (funniest thing ever)

Tangy zizzle 02-15-2006 02:26 PM

I thought you were staunch anti-metal?

Little Man being Erased 02-15-2006 02:28 PM

Pulp again.

Tangy zizzle 02-15-2006 02:31 PM

Pulp, Black Mountain, Dylan, Radiohead, Wilco... such good stuff Little Man.

Today (well all 1 hour that I've been awake) has so far been dedicated to the Dean Martin collection I found on my floor. Good.

Little Man being Erased 02-15-2006 02:37 PM

Thanks Tangy, I do like good stuff don't I.

asymm 02-15-2006 03:35 PM

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]I thought you were staunch anti-metal?[/QUOTE]
Haha, no no no. I'm definitely not against metal. I don't listen to it very often so it might've seemed that way. This droning stuff is barely metal anyway.

I hate that drone crap, it's just not cricket. Get some good metal ie. Mastodon, Burnt by the Sun, High on Fire into ya'.
