I heart you.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Sunny Day Real Estate - How It Feels To Be Something On

Holy hell this album is awesome.[/QUOTE]

I like that loads more than [I]Diary[/I].


Dino Jr. - [I]Bug[/I]
Chin Up Chin Up - [I]We Should Have Never Lived Like We Were Skyscrapers[/I]

Chin Up Chin Up's vocalist tries to be Scott McCloud from Girls Against Boys, and it works out more often than not.

I'm digging Deerhoof's [i]Holdy Paws[/i] intensely. I love the production on the vocals. They treat that crazy woman's voice exactly the way they should. They double the tracks, so the voices are always slightly out of tune, which makes her sound more insane, and then they turn up the gain just enough so that it makes absolutely no difference what the lyrics are, which is good, because they're ridiculous. The band just ROCKS.

Hm I'll have to keep an eye out for that one. That sounds good.

My diggage:

People Under the Stairs - The Next Step
Gym Class Heros - For the Kids
Primus - Sailing the Seas of Cheese
Totally Radd - Shark Attack Day Camp
V/A - Radiodread
Sleep - Dopesmoker

[QUOTE=Bukowski]That's their first album right? I hear it's crazy noisy stuff, I could never find that one on soulseek though. The Cows reign supreme.[/QUOTE]
Yep. I found it on soulseek a few days ago, only one guy had it. I'm liking it more than [I]Cunning Stunts[/I, which is the only other one I have. If you want it my soulseek name is DanielN.

Today:

Eazy E - [I]Eternal E[/I]
Do Make Say Think - [I]Goodbye Enemy Airship, The Landlord Is Dead[/I]

Jens Lekman - Oh You're So Silent Jens
The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree

Last couple of days:

Ampere – [I]All Our Tomorrows End Today[/I]
Leonard Cohen – [I]Songs of Love and Hate[/I]
Bob Dylan – [I]Blood on the Tracks[/I]
Elliott Smith – [I]Elliott Smith[/I]
Elliott Smith – [I]Figure 8[/I]
Elliott Smith – [I]Roman Candle [/I]
The Decemberists – [I]5 Songs[/I]
Sole – [I]Bottle of Humans[/I]

Does Battle of Humans have Year of the Sex Symbol on it?

Yep.

It's "Bottle of Humans", I made a typo.

i used to not like Defiance, Ohio's new CD (The Great Depression) very much.
but now i'm really enjoying it. anybody else dig it?

[QUOTE=The Great Decay]Yep.

It's "Bottle of Humans", I made a typo.[/QUOTE]

Oh ok, cool. I really love that song.

I can't stop listening to Sunny Day Real Estate.

I just downloaded LP2 recently, but I haven't listened to it yet. I already love Diary and How it Feels..

I'm going to give a listen as soon as this Sole album is done.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars][I]LP2[/I] is sometimes even better than [I]Diary[/I]. It's so formless and awesome. The songs aren't really structured, it's just a big blob of different melodies.

[I]Endserenading[/I] to Diary's [I]Power of Failing[/I], if you will.[/QUOTE]
the only song off LP2 i've heard is Rodeo Jones, and i love it. are the other songs as good as that?

Smashing Pumpkins - [i]Siamese Dream[/i]

I was at summer program at Brown for a week and I was listening to this in the library. I put the finishing touches on my final assignment and just as I walked out the doors and into the open air and sunlight, the heavy part of "Soma" kicked in. Pure awesomeness.

Muse - [i]Black Holes and Revelations[/i]

I'm seeing them Thursday. I'm pretty mixed on the album, although "Knights of Cydonia" is a great song (Ennio Morricone meets Rush?).

Lou Reed - [i]Transformer[/i]

I had this with me today in the car, during lunch, and outside by the pool. It's just that good.

The Format - [i]Dog Problems[/i]

This one's been in constant rotation for a few weeks now. It could easily become my favorite of the year thanks to tracks like "Time Bomb" and "Dog Problems".

1 The Knife 47
2 Phonophani 25
3 Taylor Deupree 18
4 The Kinks 15
5 Mission of Burma 14
6 The Police 13

Nice musical week. Now this week I can invest all my time into the amazing things I bought at the festival.

It was a nice haul, for sure. The best part was when I had time to browse through the record crates. Those were the best deals.

CDs
Codeine - [i]Barely Real[/i] EP
The National - [i]The National[/i]
The Sea and Cake - [i]Oui[/i]
Various Artists - [i]Ghostly International - Idol Tryouts Two[/i]

Vinyl
New Order - [i]Substance[/i] (2xLP $10)
Magazine - [i]The Correct Use of Soap[/i] (LP $5)
Talk Talk - [i]It's My Life[/i] (12" $4)
The National - [i]Cherry Tree[/i] (10" Red Vinyl $10)
Siouxsie and the Banshees - [i]Hyaena[/i] (LP $5)
Talk Talk - [i]The Colour of Spring[/i] (LP $3)

I would've liked to pick up a few shirts, but I couldn't buy a $15 shirt when I could pick up three full length albums for the same price. Just couldn't pass up the records.

Nice on all the National asymm. Definitely one of my favorite bands, though their s/t is a little weak.

I've been listening a lot of Califone, Boredoms, and Parts and Labor in addition to the listed stuff.

1 Supersilent 25
2 Spacemen 3 19
3 The Durutti Column 15
4 Phonophani 13
4 Bonnie 'Prince' Billy 13
6 Broadcast 11

Future listening: Tom Waits live in Asheville this Wednesday. Can I get a hell yeah?

First nacho gets a name change, and now a postcount reset? Jeez why dont you just get a new join date so you can hide from your vet status :rolleyes:

Arthur Russell and Young Marble Giants. I played the latter on the radio today. \m/

So true. I absolutely adore them. So much so that I ordered their DVD and it should be arriving soon!

Damn, you're in for a treat. [i]7[/i] is unbelievable. I waited so long for it to be put out in the NTSC version instead of the original PAL. One of the best music DVDs I've seen.

I Hate Myself – [I]2 Songs[/I]
Radiohead – [I]OK Computer[/I]
At The Drive-In – [I]Vaya[/I]

Word, he played a show at the music store I work at. It was really funny, all the bass players were knocking on the door before we even opened. And every single one of them had their bass with them :lol:

Anyway, I've listened to [i]How It Feels To Be Something On[/i] by Sunny Day Real Estate at least 5 times in the past 2 days.

I actually decided that I don't really like Marcus Miller's music. I'm impressed enough by his playing to keep listening to it, but I don't think it's [i]good[/i] music, per se. Amazing, but not enjoyable.

Hi, I played with Miles Davis.

[quote=Zappa]Hi, I played with Miles Davis.[/quote]What?

[QUOTE=JonM]What?[/QUOTE]

he said "Hi, I played with Miles Davis."

Oh, okay. I understand now.

We are playing $25,000 Pyramid, and the category was "things Marcus Miller might say." You lose.

[quote=Zappa]We are playing $25,000 Pyramid, and the category was "things Marcus Miller might say." You lose.[/quote]Oh. Good thing I knew that beforehand.

Everything I heard of Marcus with Miles SUCKED. I'm beginning to agree with you on the lead bassist thing.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]ok even better diggage

The National - [I]Alligator[/I]

This album is so good. I really wish they could have pulled it off live, but they didn't do it for me. Maybe it was the festival setting.

edit: "Lit Up" and "All the Wine" are like the two best songs of 2005.[/QUOTE]

Best album of 2005 what? And probably 2004 too. And you've really gotta hear the b-sides, they're as good as anything on the album.

(It's my natural reaction to respond as quickly as I can to any post mentioning The National in any way.)

Is the non-faded copy of YLT's new one available yet? I'm dying to hear that in full, I really like the messed up copy.

Failure - Fantastic Planet

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Failure - Fantastic Planet[/QUOTE]I havn't listened to Failure in a good while, might check them out again later.

Been diggin' David Bowie today. With emphasis on the Aladdin Sane era.

Fantastic Planet is an amazing album, try and find it.
