yay!

I've been digging the same old crap. I have been listening to some French music thanks to last.fm, I'm only starting to get familiar with a couple artists (I really like Serge Gainsbourg from the little I've heard) but I think I'll enjoy this style.

edit: and Brigitte Fontaine

fIREHOSE all day.

fIREHOSE are pretty average.

I listened to Flipper all afternoon, it was kinda cool.

Other diggage today:

Sonny Rollins
The Dictators
Television
The Wipers
The Bronx (man, I love these guys)

You guys may like your fIREHOSE, but I'm currently diggin a different band with inverted capitalization: cLOUDDEAD. They're [i]WEIRD[/i], man. People call it hip hop, which it's definitely not, or at least not entirely. It's a lot more like The Books and Animal Collective and the more ambient Microphones tracks, but there is a little rapping in there, I guess. Anyway, they're cool. Give 'em a shot.

I've been listening to NoMeansNo - [i]Wrong[/i] all day. I just put on Lou Reed - [I]Transformer[/I] and I'm enjoying it too.

Listened to Danger Doom and a few Guided By Voices EPs during sculpture today.

Later I watched Ingmar Bergman's film, [i]Wild Strawberries[/i]. It was delicate, melancholy and put me into a distinct mood. So I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed Vashti Bunyan - [i]Lookaftering[/i] and The Clientele's [i]Strange Geometry[/i].

No way. Their SST releases are ace.

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

I definitely feel the same. It would be an easy one to make, though.

Nice avatar Alex.

Dredg - El Cielo. After so much hype, that's it?!

Also, Martin Grech - Unholy, Morphine - Cure For Pain, and a buttload of MSP. Oh yeah, and the new Darkness record.

[QUOTE=Iai]Dredg - El Cielo. After so much hype, that's it?![/QUOTE]
Hahah, yeah man.

I felt the same way first time I listened to Dredg. They're... ok.

I'm just glad I heard Catch Without Arms before the rest of their stuff.

It grows on you.

Alot.

Like any progressive rock record.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads

What a great album. Sadly, I only have it on tape.

[QUOTE=DogInTheSand]
Solomon Burke - [I]Don't Give Up On Me[/I][/QUOTE]

What do you think of it?

QOTSA - SFTD

A few mp3s by The Paper Chase and Les Savy Fav.

Kick butthole.

[QUOTE=asdf]Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Murder Ballads

Indeed it is. I might pop that one on a bit later.


So far today:

The Von Bondies - [I]Pawn Shoppe Heart[/I]
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - [I]Let Love In[/I]
The Cure - [I]Boys Don't Cry[/I]

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]It grows on you.

Alot.

Like any progressive rock record.[/QUOTE]Ugh... calling that album progressive rock is an insult to the genre. Sure, there's prog influences, but to me, it's just vapid alternative rock that tries to combine tons of styles and genres without ever really succeeding at any of them.

Roxy Music - [i]Avalon[/i]
Wilco - [i]Summerteeth[/i]

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - [I]Let Love In[/I]

Sweet album, that's what got me into him/them.

I'm listening to Kanye West's latest album. I finally got it like three months after it came out. I'm slow :(

That Death To False Screamo compilation is really good.
