Yeah, I was the one who made the post about them in the HxC/Emo forum.

My newest record is the Strokes - First Impressions of Earth. It's good, very Strokes-ish.

Bob Dylan & The Band - The Basement Tapes

The only album of the Bands that I have is Music From Big Pink and I've never been able to get into it very much, but this album is fantastic and I will definately give Big Pink another try.

Edit: As seen by new avatar, I'm digging Music From Big Pink.

I can't get into the band at all. The Basement Tapes aren't bad but they just sound like a group of talented musicians getting drunk and stoned. Any Band stuff I've heard that isn't Dylan related I don't like, the songs have no focus or drive. They're just too sloppy.

Dresden Dolls > The White Stripes


The Dolls' are one of the fost fun interesting bands out there right now. Give me that over any of them generic overhyped indie outfits pimped by NME. I wouldn't call the Stripes all that bad though, they are way better than NME's latest head-receiver, Babyshambles.

I'm actually growing to like the White Stripes quite a lot, though I have foolishly distanced myself from all my newest purchases for the next week, and so can't listen to them. I don't like the Dresden Dolls much, perhaps because a former flatmate of mine was so insistent on my listening to them, but they're not bad. Girl Anachronism and that one about a jeep are good, for example.

I don't really see the grounds for comparison anyway, though.

1 The Beatles 65
2 Winnebago Deal 39
3 Minutemen 37
4 Blur 28
5 Brainiac 16
6 William Shatner 11
6 Wire 11
8 Baby Huey 10
9 The Meads Of Asphodel 8
10 The Knack 7

Another disjointed list from me, since I was away from my computer for several days this week. And I'm quite sure I listened to an entire Meads album or two, anyway.

I'm glad to see someone else has found a love for the Nightmare Before Christmas.

1 NoMeansNo 65
2 Mischief Brew 61
3 New York Dolls 54

5 The World/Inferno Friendship Society 33
6 The Slackers 30
7 Morphine 26
8 Nas 25
9 Dr. Octagon 24
10 Funkadelic 19

I listened to Wipers - [i]Is This Real?[/i] yesterday and i've not loved an album on first listen as much as this for a long long time. I can see myself listening to nothing but Wipers for a while.

BillCosby 01-16-2006 12:32 PM

Roots Manuva - [I]Awfully Deep[/I]

reeeally good

Mmhmm. Very much so.

But the Stripes get more hate than they deserve.

I don't typically have "fun" listening to Dresden Dolls. Maybe I'm the only one who finds the lead singer's narratives incredibly gripping.

sketchyjoe 01-16-2006 02:01 PM

They're a very good band but fun isn't the first word I'd use to describe them.

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Get [I]Over the Edge[/I] and [I]Youth of America[/I] too. They're amazing albums.[/QUOTE]

I'll be sure to do that, thanks.

Os Mutantes - [I]A Divina Comedia Ou Ando Meio Desligado[/I]

Pretty sweet Brazilian psychadelic rock. I have had 4 of their albums for years now, and only ever listened to the self-titled. The one above is just as good.

I've heard they are similar to the Mars Volta.

I wouldn't say that at all.

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros - Streetcore

TheMook 01-16-2006 07:09 PM

Lately I've been listening to alot of shoegaze (My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive), post-rock (Mogwai -- Mr. Beast ftw!, Godspeed You! Black Emperor), indie pop (Belle & Sebastian, Rogue Wave), noise rock (Boris, Lighting Bolt, Deerhoof, Sonic Youth), and old Brazillian music (Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes, Jorge Ben, Gilberto Gil). Stuff like that.

pixiesfanyo 01-16-2006 07:20 PM

Endtroducing today. Probably the perfect pitchblack record. It's such a organic monster and your brain can just drift to all sorts of conculsions.

damn son, thats a lot of music. is there even enough time in one day to listen to that much post-rock?

[QUOTE=YDload]damn son, thats a lot of music. is there even enough time in one day to listen to that much post-rock?[/QUOTE]

Oh ****, it's only for music we've listened to today?
Well, that's the music I've been listening to (plus many many more artists) the past few weeks.

Well, most of us post in here so much that it does typically represent a day's listening pleasure. However, "lately" extends at least a month, I'd say.
