namelessnumberheadman
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Ryan Adams
Bruce Springsteen

Zappa 05-12-2006 07:28 PM

So I got [I]St. Elsewhere[/I] and [I]Yes, Virginia[/I] (Dresden Dolls) today. The former is as good as I remembered when I listened to it once on mp3. The latter is realllllly inconsistent to my ears, but some of its high points match up well with the stuff on their first record.

NineBitFable 05-12-2006 08:57 PM

Talking Heads- Remain in Light
Maximo Park- Apply Some Pressure

I'm currently obsessed with these two cds.

Robert Crumb 05-12-2006 08:59 PM

The Pipettes - We Are the Pipettes

phil spector angry raarrrr!

Happymeal 05-12-2006 10:11 PM

Peanut Butter Wolf - [I]My Vinyl Weighs a Ton[/I]

It's my first time listening to this. Mr. Stones Throw does not disappoint.

Tangy zizzle 05-12-2006 10:15 PM

Hot Snakes - [I]Peel Sessions[/I]
Black Mountain - [I]Druganaut EP[/I]
Can - [I]Soon Over Babaluma[/I]
High on Fire - [I]Blessed Black Wings[/I]

I'm starting to dig heavy again, thus explaining the HoF.

Dog 05-12-2006 10:36 PM

All of my diggage for today and most of yesterday has been [I]Trompe Le Monde[/I] and a lot of Ween.

Zappa 05-12-2006 11:59 PM

Played [I]Pink Flag[/I] and [I]Chairs Missing[/I] by Wire basically back to back tonight. I'm not sure that everyone here knows how much I admire the music this band made.

I saw them live on some TV show a few days ago and they weren't very good. Is the album any better?

Anxious 05-13-2006 11:12 AM

I can't go a week without listening to [I]We're Only in it for the Money[/I].

Robert Crumb 05-13-2006 12:23 PM

[QUOTE=Bartender]I saw them live on some TV show a few days ago and they weren't very good. Is the album any better?[/QUOTE]

It's so sugary, it could make a hummingbird gag. But some songs are pretty catchy, even if they are disposable. Having never seen them on TV, I'd really think they'd be better live than on album really. Or at least nice to look at.

Bukowski 05-13-2006 12:51 PM

Slowdive - Souvlaki

I like this better than My Bloody Valentine i think

Only Machine Gun

Zappa 05-13-2006 01:09 PM

There is so much anti-Slowdiving on this forum. I don't get it.

[QUOTE=Bukowski]Slowdive - Souvlaki

Dagger, Machine Gun, When the Sun Hits, Some Velvet Morning, Souvlaki Space Station, and Allison are my favorite tracks. the rest are fillers.

i think if they had gotten rid of all those fillers and replaced them with songs of that quality, then this album could easily beat MBV.
but unfortunately that is not the case. and also, MBV did it first, so Slowdive owes them credit.

i still heart them though. very very very very much.

Bukowski 05-13-2006 02:50 PM

I agree that theres some filler. It's just that some of the best songs on this album are better than anything by MBV. In my opinion at least.

Right now, i'm listening to Bug by Dinosaur Jr. I'm seeing them wednesday, yay!

lucky! you seen them before?
i saw them in August. amazing show. they played a lot of stuff off Bug and You're Living All Over Me.

the only problem was that they seemed very disconnected from the audience. but it was no big deal.

and there are few things as good as hearing Freak Scene and In a Jar live.

Bukowski 05-13-2006 03:02 PM

yeah, i also saw them last August. It was a great show, and there was thankfully alot of songs from the early albums. I'm not the biggest fan of what they did after Green Mind.

It's a great way to end a day when I have a damn physics exam.

Glitterati 05-13-2006 03:40 PM

New York Dolls - [I]New York Dolls[/I]

Today is one of those days when I need some brainless campy glam rock.

They were, I suppose. They were in a club or something though, and the sound didn't seem very good.

Anyway, I've got enough stuff to check out that's actually from the 60s already.

Zebra 05-13-2006 04:12 PM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I gave this a spin this afternoon before returning to my steady diet of late-80s hip hop.[/QUOTE]

I hope that Erik B. and Rakim's [I]Paid in Full[/I] is part of that diet, because that's what I've been diggin' for the past few days.

myiaa 05-13-2006 05:17 PM

Why?

I can't decide if I like them or not. I don't think I will have an opinion either way. They are OK to listen to.

br3ad_man 05-13-2006 06:06 PM

I feel the same.

"If they got rid of the songs that suck, and put in good ones it'd be a great album"

Isn't that the case with every album ever made.

if At the Drive-In took out the sub-par songs from all of their albums, they would have about a seven song EP

oh wait they already did that! it was called "Vaya" and it's awesome :cool:

however, i was implying that those slowdive songs are better than the average band's songs, IMO.

so if every band took THEIR best songs on a CD and replaced all the fillers with songs of equal quality, it'd still leave the decision of which [i]band[/i] had better songs up to the listener.

Otherside 05-13-2006 07:29 PM

I've been really into Illinoise latley, much more than I was when I first got the cd. I can't really explain what I love about it, it's just a great album.

Scuba_Steve 05-13-2006 07:33 PM

I've been listening to Gnarls Barkley alot, and I like the album more everytime I listen to it.

I Was A Kaleidoscope 05-13-2006 07:44 PM

Trail of Dead - Source Tags & Codes
An Albatross - Blessphemy (of the Peace-Beast Feastgiver and the Bear-Warp Kumite)
Sebadoh - III

I feel another residents phase coming on. My friend wants me to loan her some good albums, and just so I know I'm loaning the right ones, I've been listening to some.

Wow. I had only listened to George and James once or twice before. Even though I don't listen to Gershwin or James Brown, the album is so great. The residents take on these two artists is very well done. It's a very strong album. I've listened to it twice today.

sr800bkBassist 05-13-2006 09:54 PM

anybody here dig The Willowz?
