Eh I listen to the same crap every week.[/QUOTE]

Hugh Laurie?


Monks - Black Monk Time

I've had this for about four months now, and I still don't know what to make of it. I know I like it quite a lot, but I can't decide whether it's a really excellent record, or just a good record and a nice little curio from the 60s. Listening to it over the past couple of days I think I've been leaning more towards the former, though.

Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party

A good album. As reviews seem to take pleasure in pointing out, the drums can get annoyingly repetitive. Also, I think even the most inexperienced listener could tell you it's an 80s record. I don't really see why the drums have to be a problem, when the focus is so very strongly on the vocals, lyrics and horns (and then other instruments), that you only really notice the almost constant boom-tish-boom-tish when you listen for it. But I like it anyway, maybe due to a strong affinity for Danny Elfman's songwriting/vocals/etc.

Last week I got back into AIC.

2 Sam Cooke 39

3 Guns N' Roses 27
5 The Magic Numbers 23
6 Billy Bragg 20
7 Therapy? 19

9 Manic Street Preachers 18
10 Mötley Crüe 17

This is a bizarrely even week for me. Usually I listen to one artist 575675765 more than the rest put together.[/QUOTE]

I think you're slowly turning into me, or perhaps I'm turning into you. I did steal liking the Manic Street Preachers from you, so...

[QUOTE=Wanker]I wanna get more of their stuff. I actually think it's borderline brilliant. However, I only have their album [i]Music For Egon Schiele[/i]. But it's incredible how they can use music as a form of Expressionism like Schiele did with his paintings.[/QUOTE]I was listening to [I]The Sea and the Bells[/I] on the ferry the other day. Amazing experience. They create the perfect soundscape of the voyage of a ship.

It was a light week, with my music mostly on shuffle:

1 The Minders 20
2 Bob Dylan 14
3 Deerhoof 13
4 Saturday Looks Good to Me 12
5 Serena Maneesh 11
6 Sun Kil Moon 10
6 The Polyphonic Spree 10

And, over the weekend I listened to some albums that I hadn't heard before:

Sleater-Kinney - [I]One Beat[/I]
The Decemberists - [I]Picaresque[/I]
Mark Lanegan - [I]Bubblegum[/I]
PJ Harvey - [I]Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea[/I]

and some others that I can't seem to recall at the moment. But I definitely love Sleater-Kinney.

albums:

Acid Bath - Paegen Terrorist Tactics
Elliot Smith - xo
Mastodon - Leviathan
Jesu - Heartache EP
Cult of Luna - The Beyond

songs:

Arlo Guthrie - Alice's Restaurant Massacre
Gil-Scott Heron - Whitey on the Moon

...and this song "four" by The Pink Mummies from myspace. They got the whole post-metal thing going. And it's going quite well. The production sucks, but hey, it's just a demo by an unknown band, so I can't complain about that too much.

Scott Walker. I finally found somwhere that had some of his stuff on import. What a fantastic voice.

Zappa/Beefheart - [I]Bongo Fury[/I]

Do you have [i]Music For Egon Schiele[/i]? [size=1]Perhaps we can make a trade? *wink wink*[/size]

[QUOTE=Wanker]Do you have [i]Music For Egon Schiele[/i]? [size=1]Perhaps we can make a trade? *wink wink*[/size][/QUOTE]Why yes, I do. My upload speed is so slow though that whenever I send something, I really don't deserve anything in return.

I'm into The Afghan Whigs right now.

And Tom Waits (always a staple in my musical diet).

[QUOTE=el doctor]Why yes, I do. My upload speed is so slow though that whenever I send something, I really don't deserve anything in return.[/QUOTE]

Ohhh, ok then. I'll find it elsewhere I guess. I've just been listening to that one album for the last 6 months or so and I wanted to hear more of their stuff because that one album is so promising.

Rachmaninoff - [I]Op.36, Sonata No.2 in B-flat minor[/I]

[QUOTE=Wanker]Ohhh, ok then. I'll find it elsewhere I guess. I've just been listening to that one album for the last 6 months or so and I wanted to hear more of their stuff because that one album is so promising.[/QUOTE]I could send it... I'm just warning it might take a while.

Bob Dylan- [i]Highway 61 Revisited[/i]

I'm very very patient.

I'd be in your debt if you do this for me. :D

Is that an MSN account?

Nah, its my email address. Transferring files on an instant messenger service doesn't work outside of my school network.

Oh, I didn't even realize yahoo actually has webspace now.

Ooops, I thought you were gonna YSI it.

Well that would make more sense. I'm glad one of us is actually thinking. :o

If you want something from there, ask for it.

Galaxie 500 - [I]On Fire[/I]
Solomon Burke - [I]Don't Give Up On Me[/I]
Spacemen 3 - [I]The Perfect Prescription[/I]

[QUOTE=DogInTheSand][B]Galaxie 500 - [I]On Fire[/I][/B]
Solomon Burke - [I]Don't Give Up On Me[/I]
Spacemen 3 - [I]The Perfect Prescription[/I][/QUOTE]

That album makes me happy for some reason.

My avatar says I'm digging Neu!, and who am I to argue?

Seriously, they're unbelievably good.

I only have their first s/t, but it sure is a doozy.

edit- to zappa

[QUOTE=DogInTheSand]I only like their first s/t, but that one album sure is a doozy.[/QUOTE]

So far, that is turning out to be my least favorite. [I]Neu! '75[/I] I am listening to now for the first time, and it's really incredible. Especially the first half is intensely moving stuff, and the rest is really energetic and excellent as well. I love all three of their albums, though.

I need some krautrock t-shirts. My pseudo-intellectual image would be complete if I could wear "Neu!" across my chest.

Dressy Bessy - [i]Pink Hearts Yellow Moons[/i]
John Cale - [i]Paris 1919[/i]

Today:

Explosions In The Sky
Joshua Fit For Battle
Saetia
QOTSA
Sufjan Stevens
Modern Life Is War

Not that different from recent days...

Today:

The Decemberists - [I]Picaresque[/I]
Antony and the Johnsons - [I]I Am a Bird Now[/I]
The Smiths - [I]The Smiths[/I]
The Smiths - [I]Meat is Murder[/I]
The Smiths - [I]The Queen is Dead[/I]

Uh oh, I think I'm turning into a Smiths fanboy. I need more.
