Some old Trail of Dead stuff from [i]Madonna[/i] and their S/T. "A Perfect Teenhood" (or is it "Lonely?" I forget!) is a really good song.

Also, HORSE the band :)

Their keyboard player looks like Napolean Dynamite.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Radiohead - Towering Above the Rest

Really, really good. It's amazing that these are only b-sides.[/QUOTE]
What the heck is this and where the hell can I get my hands on it?


I just picked up [I]At Folsom Prison[/I] and [I]At San Quentin[/I] (the re-released versions) so I'm digging [I]Folsom[/I] at the moment. Go Johnny Cash.

Pulse Ultra - Headspace

Its alright, interesting to hear stephen richard's voice before he went to taproot.

Bruce Springsteen - [I]Nebraska[/I]

I just got this today as well. I don't like much of The Boss' stuff that sounds like "Born in the USA," but this is just plain awesome.

The Fall
Mission of Burma
Swans
Tindersticks
Squirrel Bait

That's my week.

Yeah, I kinda researched a little bit and found out that it is a massive huge thing that i can't possibly dowlonad on a modem connection. This makes me sad. Being the Radiohead fanboy that I am.



I believe that warrants a :(

The Dresden Dolls - [i]The Dresden Dolls[/i]

This is really an amazing album.

EDIT: ^It's alright.

I've been re-listening to Solomon Burke, since the episode of House I had last night finished with one of his best songs playing.

Also been listening to Coliseum - loud and fast and pointless, so that's all very excellent - and little bits (various songs) from what Blackalicious stuff I have ([i]A2G EP[/i], [i]Blazing Arrow[/i] and [i]The Craft[/i]).

De La Soul and Wolf Parade for most of today.

Minor Threat and Streetlight Manifesto

The mention of the Beastie Boys in alt/indie dance songs thread prompted to put on Licensed To Ill.

AFX - Chosen Lords [yay, it leaked.]
Beep Beep - Business Casual
Mum - Yesterday Was Dramatic, Today Is OK

[QUOTE=EightMilesHigh]The mention of the Beastie Boys in alt/indie dance songs thread prompted to put on Licensed To Ill.[/QUOTE]

I listened to that and [I]Check Your Head[/I]. Good stuff.

The Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics
I like it.

Final Fantasty (band not computer game) - Has A Good Home
Wolf Parade - I can;t remember the album but it's good
The Dead Science - Submariner
and some K'Maro who is a French poppy rapper

Someone recommended [I]Your Blues[/I] to me the other day. I might check it out. But I won't expect anything too good.

Sex Positions
Give Up the Ghost

And later I'm gonna listen to Calla's [I]Scavengers[/I] before I sleep to end a tiring and somewhat depressing day.

here is another bassline i will teach you how to play since i just figured it out :):(

The bass solo/ditty in HORSE the Band's song "Purple" :

D--0h5-0h7-0h8-0h7-0h10-0h8-0h7-

i'm not really sure if those are hammers-on or pulloffs but just keep that open D ringing or alternate in a pedal tone and it will be fairly accurate!

On my 5 hour coach journey up to Liverpool I listened to a few albums:

Joy Division - [I]Closer[/I]
The Brian Jonestown Massacre - [I]Take It From The Man![/I] (I need more of this band)
Mogwai - [I]Happy Songs For Happy People[/I]
Sigur Rós - [I]()[/I]
The Violent Femmes - [I]S/T[/I]

Plus a mixture of other stuff.

The Jolly Rogers - The Jolly Rogers Demo
Boris - Pink

[i]Pink[/i] is proving impossible to find for me. I've only seen it on eBay, and I stopped trying to get it once it went above £20.

Stupid band.

That's a shame, since it's a great album.
Probably the best album I've heard this year so far.
And Boris have taken the place of favourite Japanese band.

[/QUOTE]
their albums are all free on their website...

pia fraus
ash ra tempel
13 and god

...here comes the weekend!

Bobby D's Greatest hits

I'm digging lots of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (pre-Pearl Jam, of course), because Qawwali is the most awe-inspiring musical form in human history.

[QUOTE=I Was A Kaleidoscope]The Flaming Lips - At War With The Mystics
I like it.[/QUOTE]

I was uninformed about their European tour dates one week too long. I pray there are still tickets left when I'm going to get 'em tomorrow.

I wish their website would just update the dates dammit!

The Fiery Furnaces - [i]Bitter Tea[/i]
The National - [i]Alligator [Bonus Tracks][/i]
Clogs - [i]Lantern[/i]
Isolée - [i]Wearemonster[/i]

Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand
Gastr Del Sol - Camoufleur
Jesus Lizard - Goat

The Flaming Lips
Cap'n Jazz
Belle and Sebastian

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Radiohead - "Killer Cars"

if this song was on [I]The Bends[/I] instead of one of the crappier tracks, it would be amazing.[/QUOTE]

Instead of "Sulk" probably. It's one of their best songs.

Sonic Youth
Job for a Cowboy
Nine Inch Nails
Tool

what happen to not just posting obscure band names and acutally saying something?

I haven't posted since I gave myself a new avatar yesterday. What a wild thing.

I have been digging a lot of (the same three) dub (albums) this week, hence the Lee "Scratch" Perry avatar. Also on the menu has been Sergei Rachmaninoff's [I]Vespers, Op. 37[/I], which I've pimped about a thousand times in this thread, and you STILL haven't downloaded it from me. Also did a double-shot of X the other day, listening to both [I]Los Angeles[/I] and [I]Wild Gift[/I] one after the other. I like them more and more every time I listen.

Morphine - [I]Cure For Pain[/I]
The Slackers - [I]Redlight[/I]
The Slackers - [I]The Question[/I]

The Slackers are such an incredible band. I need to get their new album.

Elf Power - A Dream in Sound

This album used to bore me, its quite good, but hopefully doesnt have the one time appeal Of Montreal seem to have.

I'm listening to Refused today.

What an amazing band.

Vic Ruggiero - [I]Alive at the Lady Bug House[/I]

The Slackers singer/keyboard player's solo album. Just him and his acoustic guitar. No ska tracks at all. It's great music but the best part is by far his voice.

J Dilla - Donuts.
Pixies - Surfer Rosa

Go listen to J Dilla if you like Madlib's production.
