Is This It? does suck though. The new single (Juice Box? I think that's it) is a lot more interesting than anything I've heard from them before.

[QUOTE=queenbeerocks]anyone heard of third eye blind?? they do stuff for the smallville soundtrack and it has a sumwhat cheesy vibe to it, but i'm hooked![/QUOTE]

Everyone's heard of Third Eye Blind. Don't you remember the 90s?

I can't stop listening to [i]Why do they call me Mr Happy[/i] by Nomeansno. Their bassist > most other bassists.

Very much digging Jeff Lang right now. Great aussie blues/roots type stuff. I'm not normally very into that stuff, but Lang's got soul, man. Beats the hell outta John Butler, too.

Both Alexisonfire's "Watch Out!" and self-titled. [b]Nonstop.[/b]

Hell yeah. "Big Dick" is a favorite of mine in that regard. I'm not even sure there's a guitar at all in it.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]Tom Waits - [I]Closing Time[/I]
Ryan Adams and the Cardinals - [I]Jacksonville City Nights[/I][/QUOTE]
Same here, kind of. I love [I]Jacksonville City Nights[/i] right now.

I put a few more albums on my Ipod, let it charge overnight and then forgot to take it with me to work so I couldn't listen to the new albums I'd downloaded the night before. Had to wait till when I got home to listen to them which was annoying.

Anyway, today I've been digging:

Tortoise - [I]Millions Now Living Will Never Die[/I] - I've had this for absolutely ages on my pc but only just got around to listening to it today. It's a good album but I personally prefer their self titled, [I]Millions...[/I] doesn't quite have the haunting songs that makes their self titled so enjoyable.

Lee Morgan - [I]Lee-way[/I] - I've been on a bit of a Lee Morgan downloading craze at the moment. I've had [I]The Sidewinder[/I] (considered his best and one of my favourite ever jazz albums) for ages but recently since I got my net working again I decided to try and get some more of his stuff. It's a very enjoyable pre-[I]Sidewinder[/I] album but nowhere near the classic status of his masterpiece.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]The Chills - [I]Kaleidoscope World[/I][/QUOTE]

I've just read a few reviews about that album and it sounds pretty damn good. Would you consider it their best or one to start out on? (If I can find any of their material that is)

Yeah damm right Nacho. New Zealand put out some seriously good records between 80 - 90.

I think lately I've been listening to a little too much Eno and derivative music. It's causing the music I create to be a little too one sided.

Back to lots of jazz I go, I think.

Richard Hell & The Voidiods and Saetia

[QUOTE=NachoChez]It's an odds-and-ends compilation I think, but it plays like a best-of. It's really, really good.[/QUOTE]

It'll be hard to find but I'll have a go at hunting it down on ebay or getting some songs from limewire/soulseek or somewhere. Thanks.

Go there, trust me.

[QUOTE=Doctor D.]You mean [I]The Man With a Blue TUrban with a Face[/I] or somthing to that effect? I got it, it's amazing, when I get home I'll try to get it to you.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that's the one. Thanks, man. :cool:

[QUOTE=Ornery Cephalopod]Gasp. But Pinback's his best project![/QUOTE]
Eh, nothing else he's done compares to Heavy Vegetable in my opinion.

Diggage:
Nujabes - [I]Metaphorical Music 2: Modal Soul[/I]
Nujabes is a Japanese producer who uses American rappers in his records. It's great Jazz-driven Hip-hop. This album was my favorite of '05.

Thanks man, I think I've already added you, I'll find out later. My username is Skienzy, I don't think I'm sharing any files yet, I've only just got slsk a few days ago.

Although what I have been digging a lot recently has been a lot of Tom Waits, and some Portishead, what I'm going to spend a lot of time listening to is Ralph Records related things.

Right now:
Snakefinger - Manual of Errors (album)

Recently, I got contacted by someone via myspace that used to work at ralph, and was close friends with Snakefinger. I was fascinated by the stuff he told me, and really glad that he'd share it with me. He was suprised that a 16 year old listened to stuff like the residents, renaldo and the loaf, and snakefinger.

So now it's time for me to take a trip down memory lane. Snakefinger, Renaldo and the Loaf, The Residents (of course), Negativland, Tuxedomoon, and any other smaller bands I can find related to Ralph Records.

I really forgot how good this Snakefinger album is.

While i'm in a giving mood is there anything that anyone would like me to share on soulseek?

Lee Morgan is awesome. I've only just gotten [I]The Sidewinder[/I] but it's great. I think I've listened to it every day since I got it.

Right now, though, I'm on some Mike Ladd. He makes some fantastically pretentious music a lot of the time, but sometimes the groove just wins out. At different times in his career, he's been, among other things: a nerd rapper, a mainstream faker, jazz auteur, beat poet, funk rocker, electronic musician. He's done all fairly well. The last thing he did was [I]Father Divine[/I], which has him working with some TV on the Radio contributors and Antipop Consortium folk. It could have been horribly annoying but it's pretty quality, might be worth looking into if you like Beck, TV on the Radio or are already familiar with Mike Ladd.

I also bought some crappy Modern Lovers leftovers compilation album today. Production usually doesn't offend me, but this is kinda sad. Whaddya gonna do, I guess.

Quick question for you, Crumb:

What's it mean when somebody is referred to as a backpacker in hip hop?

They usually call someone a backpacker if they're into underground stuff. Used to be the kids would wear backpacks to shows and stuff, with who knows what in 'em. Notebooks and french novels, I think.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks guys.

When you think about it, it really sounds like it ought to be some dergatory suggesting homosexuality. Ew, you backpacker.
