I realized today I hadn't listened to Sum 41 since I was like eleven, so I'm digging old Sum 41 today.

Also, I'm getting into Mission Of Burma.

Miles Davis at the Isle of Wight in 1970. The DVD [I]Miles Davis Electric: A Different Kind Blue[/I] presents the full 30 minute non-stop performance. It's really amazing.

Good job.

Iai 02-26-2006 08:16 PM

I checked out Butthole Surfers and wasn't particularly impressed.

I also dug out Devin Davis' album for another spin and realised it maybe be 2005's most overlooked gem.

Yeah, I've heard this too. Didn't really offer anything new or do anything better than anyone else. Pretty mediocre in my opinion.

Belladonna was better.

[QUOTE=Zmev]Belladonna was better.[/QUOTE]
Only during Persistence of Time, which still remains one of my favorite albums ever even though I hardly ever listen to metal nowadays.

Other than that, I'd take Bush.

Kurtz 02-26-2006 10:53 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Band of Horses - [I]Everything All the Time[/I][/QUOTE]
This too.

I only have First Song right now, but it's pretty good.

YDload 02-27-2006 12:26 AM

And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead- [i]Worlds Apart[/i]

I still don't think its as good as STAC, but it's certainly not to say that it's not enjoyable. "A Classic Arts Showcase" is magnificent, as is the first real song on the album. Too bad some of the songs, like the title track and "The Rest Will Follow" seem to try and sound too much like Flogging Molly or Dropkick Murphys. What's the deal, guys?

Matt? 02-27-2006 12:36 AM

one am radio

catchy and simple

br3ad_man 02-27-2006 02:45 AM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]I think here they are more underrated because they're a popular nu-metal band, so lots of people are like.. it's lame! But the drummer is insanely tight and Chino is one of the best vocalists (not lyricists) in heavy music right now.[/QUOTE]

They're a great band. They're almost singlehandedly responsible for getting me into good metal.

Today I dug Pavement, Broken Social Scene and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Right now I'm digging Elvis Costello.

awesome band

i have been getting into pedro the lion recently. i think the singer from the stills sounds very similar to the singer from this band.

does anyone here listen to Anathema? they are such an underrated band that i have been getting back into recently

YDload 02-27-2006 02:45 PM

"A Classic Arts Showcase" by Trail of Dead is definitely the best song off of [i]Worlds Apart[/i]. The lyrics are kinda dumb, but the music and singing is too great to pass up. It has those sparse, distorted notes for a melody that made their songs "Another Morning Stoner" and "Source Tags and Codes" stick out for me, so it's no wonder I like it.

You know what I'm talking about? That kind of guitar melody? I guess the best example would be "Answering Machine" by The Replacements.

Jawaharal 02-27-2006 03:09 PM

I bought Source Tags And Codes on disc yesterday because I'm a nice guy.

I dig the make up as of right now.

Matt? 02-27-2006 03:10 PM

good album

Do you mean the metal band? Because I've heard a few songs and I wasn't all that impressed.

Robert Crumb 02-27-2006 04:43 PM

I was listening to the new Neko Case album [I]Fox Confessor Brings the Flood[/I] this morning. Pretty nice and all that. I haven't been inside a music store for two weeks and quite frankly, I'm a bit perturbed by that fact.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Do you mean the metal band? Because I've heard a few songs and I wasn't all that impressed.[/QUOTE]
i hear their earlier albums are doom metal or something. their more recent albums however are definitely not metal.

NineBitFable 02-27-2006 05:35 PM

Hum, QotSA, Daft Punk.

Little Man being Erased 02-27-2006 06:00 PM

Johnny Cash - [I]At Folsom Prison[/I]
Bruce Springsteen - [I]Nebraska[/I]
Tom Petty - [I]Full Moon Fever[/I]
You Am I - [I]#4 Record[/I]

The latter two albums are ones that I've recently rediscovered. Both very good albums. You Am I, for the uninformed, are an Aussie rock band that started in the early 90's. Very enjoyable.

Glitterati 02-27-2006 06:21 PM

Little Man, I've probably said this before, but I think you and I have very similar tastes in music.

Today I'm digging old U2 and Pixies - [I]Surfer Rosa[/I].

Yeah, I'd say that's probably true. Except for [I][B]that[/B][/I], of course.

pixiesfanyo 02-27-2006 07:42 PM

L - Holy Letters

Really bizzare japanese noise/folk. Hard to explain, probably one of the best records of the '90s though.

ATM 02-27-2006 09:53 PM

Who's that by again?

What is it?

Robert Crumb 02-27-2006 10:23 PM

The only thing I can remember about "Only Wanna Be With You" is the chorus which really isn't much of an achievement. Onlywennabewidoooo.

Listening to GZA right now.

Kurtz 02-27-2006 10:31 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Jay Dee's a hip-hop producer that died of kidney failure right around the time this album was finished; he did it from his hospital bed. It's a big collection of soul/R&B stuff that he sampled/looped/messed around with. So far it's my second-favorite of 2006.[/QUOTE]
Nonononono, I know who Jay Dee is; he did a bunch of stuff with A Tribe Called Quest. I meant what'd you mean when you said it was like nothing you've ever heard before.

So I'm guessing it's like [I]Entroducing[/I]?
