Coldplay is good revision music, I don't really listen to them under normal circumstances. Mastodon was for when I got sick of listening to Coldplay, didn't get a lot of revision done to it though.

You're paranoid.


Ambitious Sixty and the Straight Murder - Monger Bunny
The steel-drum/grindcore/jazz fusion 18 piece's 35th studio album full of singalong classics like Rectal Happiness, Smacked Up On Gnat, Thanks for the Ebola Ectoplasm and a cover of Southern Expansion and the Homo Area's Ballsed Up in Curved Optimism that has to be heard to be believed.

Glorified Kitchen and the Hopeless Sunflower - Detached Nicotine of the Securely Insecurity
Anti-folk classics from everyone's favourite paraplegic, if Pebble of the Lost Degenerate does not bring tears to your eyes, then you have no soul.

Basement Jaxx - [I]Rooty[/I]
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - [I]Clap Your Hands Say Yeah[/I] - I've tried but there's nothing I can like about this album. I can put up with 'unique' vocals, but not this guy.
Bear Vs Shark - [I]Right Now You're In The Best Of Hands[/I]

NineBitFable 06-12-2006 01:25 PM

Pluto- Dance Stamina + Long White Cross

These are the only two songs I can find from them. . . but they are badass.

BillCosby 06-12-2006 03:25 PM

My next week's last.fm is going to be insanely Cursive-heavy.

pixiesfanyo 06-12-2006 03:38 PM

Happy Hollow is alot good.

If by "a lot" you mean "the opposite of."

And other ****. Listening to The Pop Group for the first time right now. Sounded horrible on speakers, not bad on headphones.

Just listen to it an imagine it's not a Cursive record.
You'll like it alot more.

Scott Walker - [i]The Drift[/i]
Sonic Youth - [i]Rather Ripped[/i]
My first time through the record is right now. "Do You Believe in Rapture?" is a great song - but I'm getting nervous about the entirety's quality. I'll have to just let it play out and see what happens.

Glitterati 06-12-2006 06:56 PM

Television - [I]Marquee Moon[/I]

I don't see why Television were compared to The Ramones. They blew them out of the water. Or maybe I'm just saying that because I hate The Ramones.

Television >>>>>>>> The Ramones. i see no similarity.
Television was smart, cool, and ahead of their time.
The Ramones were bland pop-rock.

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist]i know it leaked, but is it really out now? i thought it came out tuesday...[/QUOTE]Yeah, it comes out tomorrow - but the local store here puts out the albums once they arrive on Monday. So I typically take advantage of that.

[QUOTE=cb240]But in his defense, Ben Gibbard is a fa[g.[/QUOTE]

Still he bashes 10 bands for every 3 that he actually starts a constructive discussion on. And frankly, insults in alt/indie should at least be entertaining to read.

i always thought they sounded like a combination of The Rolling Stones and Talking Heads. Either way, that album is perfect and the title track is really fun to jam along to on bass :cool:

lucky!

so far i had downloaded Sleepin' Around, Incinerate, Reena, and Pink Steam. i love a of it, except Reena is kinda lame. i miss how intense and aggressive Kim used to be in her punk-fu[size=2]c[/size]king-rock days in the early 80's.
Making the Nature Scene and their cover of I Wanna be your Dog were great. now she's just kind of annoying and dry.

You know you like it you sick ****.


Today:

The Free Design - [I]The Now Sound Redesigned[/I]

It's a tribute album in which hip-hop artists revamp songs from that band. I was surprised to hear Murs and Dudley Perkins in this one.

Cryptopsy - [I]None so Vile[/I]
Make Up - [I]Untouchable Sound[/I]

Make Up were sex.

i have Save Yourself by Make Up.
great CD, but i found myself skipping between the same 4 or 5 songs a lot, since that CD had a lot of bland tracks. is that CD better?

Kurtz 06-12-2006 07:20 PM

Hey, I like Television and Ramones.

They were compared because they were both part of the New York punk scene.

cb240 06-12-2006 07:22 PM

And they both put CBGB on the map.

Little Man being Erased 06-12-2006 07:47 PM

Interpol - [I]Antics[/I]
Death Cab for Cutie - [I]Transatlanticism[/I]
Gomez - [I]Bring It On[/I]

Sleater-Kinney - [I]One Beat[/I]

cb240 06-12-2006 07:55 PM

NMH - Aeroplane (Secret Mix)

Much more ambient feel... pretty good I guess

Zebra 06-12-2006 08:28 PM

Jurassic 5 - Power in Numbers

This album is so cool and bad-***. I love it.

JonM 06-12-2006 08:40 PM

[quote=Dimes Make Dollars]J Dilla - [I]Donuts[/I]

I listened to this a lot, then I stopped, and now I'm reviving it because it's great.[/quote]I wasn't too thrilled by it. I don't think I listened closely enough, though. Or maybe I listened [i]too[/i] closely. I'll give it another whirl.

Kurtz 06-12-2006 08:41 PM

The Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed

Oh my god, now officially one of my favorite albums ever.

Happymeal 06-12-2006 08:42 PM

[QUOTE=sr800bkBassist]i have Save Yourself by Make Up.

The one I'm digging is a live album, and it consists mostly of songs from Save Yourself. I'd recommend [I]I Want Some[/I] for that raw and dirty feel, and/or [I]In Mass Mind[/I] (my favorite Make Up album) which is a pretty accessible but still very substantial release.

YDload 06-12-2006 08:48 PM

Minus The Bear- [i]They Make Beer Commercials Like This[/i]

Just an EP but all the songs are great, especially "Let's Play Clowns" and "I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien." Ugh but those song titles :(

Robert Crumb 06-12-2006 08:54 PM

New Daedelus. Fantastic album.

[QUOTE=Robert Crumb]New Daedelus. Fantastic album.[/QUOTE]
I love it, man.

It's jockeying for a spot on the top 10.
