[QUOTE=robot]:thumb: Have you seen Palindromes?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I rented it last week actually. It was very interesting, I enjoyed it. All four Todd Solondz movies I saw were great, he's a very adventurous filmmaker.

Big Youth - Screaming Target
Elvis Costello - My Aim is True
Yo La Tengo - Prisoners of Love

Big Youth is really good.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Unwed Sailor is really, really good. Especially if you like post-rock of any variety.[/QUOTE]
Thats what I've been saying for agessssss. :)
I saw/met them over the summer and they were amazing live. Especially because they replaced the two guitars with pianos. Soooo good.

br3ad, I would recommend [i]Firecracker EP[/i] or [i]The Faithful Anchor[/i]. [i]The Marionette in the Music Box[/i] comes with a picture booklet and it more story oriented, which is sweet, but isnt necessarily as good.

I've been listening to alot of Broken Social Scene's s/t and Sigur Ros. I want to be totally Sigur Ros-ified when i see them in around 2,400 hours.

Richard Hell & The Voidoids - Blank Generation
Hot Snakes - Automatic Midnight
Ani DiFranco - Educated Guess

3 great albums. [i]Automatic Midnight[/i] is my favorite Snakes album at the moment. I love the energy this band has.

I'm gonna be listening to The Fall for the first time soon, once i get the rest of [i]Hex Enduction Hour[/i] from Anxious Mo-Fo on soulseek. I've heard alot of good things about them, so i'm anticipating this greatly.

I don't like that Fall album, but I love the Voidoids and Hot Snakes.

Yesterday was Prince and Outkast. Right now on some Julian Cope.

I'm digging the same stuff I have been all week.

Gustav Mahler's first symphony is something you should all hear right now, because it's unbelievable.

[QUOTE=Daniel!]Black Flag - The First Four Years

The different singers are very interesting. Keith Morris sounds like Iggy Pop and Chavo is pretty cool too.[/QUOTE]

Chavo's era is the only one that matters.

Wintersleep - Untitled (2005)

Acid Bath - Paegen Terrorist Tactics

The Congos - Heart of the Congos
Dennis Alcapone - Forever Version

DCFC - [I]We Have The Facts And We're Voting Yes[/I]
Herbie Hancock - [I]Cantaloupe Island[/I]
Bear VS Shark - [I]Right Now You're In The Best Of Hands[/I]
...Trail Of Dead - [I]Sources, Tags & Codes[/I]

Thelonious Monk/Sonny Rollins - [I]Thelonious Monk With Sonny Rollins[/I] (1953) Prestige LP 7075

Blackalicious - [I]The Craft[/I]
The Strokes - [I]Is This It[/I]

And some excellent local bands I saw on a boat cruise yesterday afternoon:
Iron On
The Rational Academy
Turnpike
The Zebras

I saw a performance of "Epistrophe" by Thelonius Monk.

Arranged for solo trombone.

Two trombone soloists.

:eek:

Dream Theater - [I]Octavarium[/I]
Social Distortion - [I]Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll[/I]
Default - [I]One Thing Remains[/I]
Foo Fighters - [I]In Your Honor[/I]

Crazy eight balls, when was this?

My dad is a bass trombonist.

/contributes

I'm diggin some Ted Leo.

[QUOTE=no peros calentes]Crazy eight balls, when was this?[/QUOTE]

Last night. Performance by the Trinity Jazz Orchestra, but these guys were special guests.

One of them has played on hundreds of recordings as a session musician for people like Sinatra and even toured with Steely Dan in the 70s.

The other guy was supposedly the best trombone player in Japan.

Now I know trombones aren't meant for playing fast staccato notes very well, but these guys were tearing the place up.

A good trombone solo is usually really impressive.

Aceyalone is becoming one of my favorite MCs.

This morning I have dug the few songs I have from each of the follwing artists. Albums will need to be purchased.

Bear vs. Shark
Ted Leo and The Pharmacists
Unwed Sailor
Sleater-Kinney
Okkervil River

I've not listened to much recently, mainly because my time has been taken up by essays and games, rather than sitting with music. On my way to and from places though, I've been listening to;

Amateur Transplants - Fitness to Practice
boyhitscar - boyhitscar
Klaus Badelt - He's a Pirate (just the track)
and some other individual songs. Nothing new.

A couple of days ago I heard a Tuvan throat singer's version of (Joy Division's) Love Will Tear Us Apart. It was..interesting.

Husker Du - New Day Rising
Aspects of Physics - Some Gay Electronica Name

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Blackalicious - [I]The Craft[/I]
