[QUOTE=YDload]OrbDragon is really good at this. I always feel like I'm missing out on something because I haven't heard what he has :([/QUOTE]
word, though he intrigues me to check them out so I won't feel inferior to his indiness.

NP ;) Please don't get upset and delete your review just cause I don't like it. You've clearly entertained a lot of people, or rather, everyone except me and pixiesfanyo.

Its coo, its coo

I bought Hangable Auto Bulb - Aphex Twin today, and I'm wondering exactly how many drugs he was on during the making of those two EP's. The first song has a kid saying mash potatoes over and over for 5 minutes :eek:

Ok, so for the past few weeks I've been caught up with The Make Up, I gave them a better listen since the vocals' girly yelling turned me off the first time. Having a great experience with Nation of Ulysses and Ian Svenonius' singing in Plays Pretty for Baby, plus liking Weird War/Scene Creamers(Ian's band right now) made me appreciate the grooviness of In Mass Mind more. I don't know how to describe them.. funk-inspired garage rock? I'll be hooked to them for a while, that's for sure.

And as for the album in my avatar.. I used to think Murder City Devils were just an OK band until I heard R.I.P.. I have In Name and Blood and heard a couple of songs from Empty Bottles, Broken Hearts but I wasn't really that impressed. Hearing them live made me a fan, the intensity of the band (not to mention their singer) on their last show is just unbelievable. If you haven't heard anything by them, I suggest this record since it's a good sum-up of their career, even though it doesn't really have much variety as far as the mood of the songs go. Pure rock 'n roll, that's what they are. Highlight tracks: "Midnight Service in the Mutter", "Boom Swagger Boom", "Waltz", "Cradle to the Grave"

There, good enough?

Tangy zizzle 01-04-2006 10:41 PM

That's more than enough dude. It's not really you I was pickin; out.

Great choices. Two of my favourite bands ever.

Show me where to sign up.

Freestyle Fellowship and everyone that descended from them, including Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, and Busdriver. I've been in to Busdriver for a long time, but I'm more into him now.

Zappa 01-05-2006 05:28 AM

Grecian Defense
Harmolo
Ambission

Like I've said before, Domestica is the best album of the decade so far. It's completely perfect for what it's going for and Kasher's vocal/guitar melodies are ace. If I could write just one song from this album I'd be estatic. That's what I've been digging.

moderaterock222 01-05-2006 09:48 AM

domestica reminds me of good times. i received it as a gift( :D ). took me ages to get into but when i finally did i felt cool:cool:

mentalstephanie 01-05-2006 04:52 PM

Yeah, that gift was from me. :angry:
I love Domestica. I find it has a little more edge than The Ugly Organ. It has this hard, raw sound/feel to it.

moderaterock222 01-05-2006 04:56 PM

calm down, i am very grateful. they're american too :eek:

Why'd you only give it a 4 on Sputnik if you consider it the best album of this decade?

br3ad_man 01-05-2006 05:56 PM

I've been listening to Mogwai mainly. I'm listening to some Dredg this morning. I don't think it's necessary to explain either of those bands because everyone has heard them already.

Anxious 01-05-2006 08:51 PM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]I'm really beginning to enjoy Danny Elfman. [/QUOTE]
Whats he have going for him besides the Simpsons theme?


I've been diggin Rites of Spring. Epic as epic can be.

Anxious 01-05-2006 09:02 PM

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]He's done the soundtracks for most of Tim Burton's stuff for the last fifteen or so years, from Pee-Wee to Edward Scissorhands to the Corpse Bride, aswell as the Desperate Housewives and Tales From The Crypt.[/QUOTE]
Whoa. Cool guy.

Not to mention a member in Oingo Boingo, who had their moments (few and far between, but there).

[QUOTE=Wanker]Why'd you only give it a 4 on Sputnik if you consider it the best album of this decade?[/QUOTE]

Because, I made that review awhile ago. And it's a grower.

I've been digging Bowie's Scary Monsters tonight. Fripp plays guitar. It's probably my favorite Bowie. Plus he doesn't **** around with all that faggoty dancewear labyrinth ****

br3ad_man 01-05-2006 11:31 PM

There were cheap Sonic Youth cds at JB today, so I bought [I]Confusion Is Sex[/I]. Maybe I'll dig it.

Jawaharal 01-06-2006 01:03 AM

I'm digging The Magnetic Fields - I.

Zappa 01-06-2006 05:28 AM

Aftersquawk
Gambling Art

Songs to check out:

pixiesfanyo 01-06-2006 03:43 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]anyway

Indian Summer - [I]Discography[/I] and [I]Live: Blue Universe[/I]

[I]Discography[/I] = top five emo albums of all time. It is imperative that everyone checks it out if you like early emo at all.[/QUOTE]

Meh. It's decent. But Angry Son is the only truly memorable song in my opinon.

Sundancekid 01-06-2006 03:57 PM

i predict big things for
mystery jets
editors
young knives
arctic monkeys (sorry but it's true)
plan b
and perhaps maximo park will get bigger
and definatly willy mason will hit the big time

Zappa 01-06-2006 05:55 PM

[QUOTE=NachoChez]You're just making up band names, aren't you?[/QUOTE]

No, you're obviously just not indie enough.

Bukowski 01-06-2006 06:10 PM

Angry Samoans
fIREHOSE

fIREHOSE don't get enough credit. They may forever live in Minutemen's shadow, but they're still pretty damn good. George Hurley really shines with them.

True.


I'm having a D.C. hardcore phase as of late.

This guy brought in an Oingo Boingo CD into work today for me to hear.

Catchy songs, but not really my bag.
