I need a new album or band/artist to obsess over. I never know what to listen to lately.

I've been listening to alot of hip hop almost constantly the past week or so. A few of the artists/groups I've been lovin':

Dead Prez
Das EFX
South Central Cartel
Roots Manuva
KRS One
Big L

Among others

Yo La Tengo
MU330

The Roots
Dizzee Rascal
Portishead
Daft Punk

I downloaded the Peeping Tom leak yesterday, so far it's pretty sweet. "Your Neighborhood Spaceman" especially. It reminds me so much of Mr. Bungle's "Retrovertigo".

The Drones.

You would like them. If I can still keep up with what you dig.

I must check this out

Six Organs of Admittance - [I]School of the Flower[/I]

I'm halfway through this album, and I'm still not sure what I think of it exactly. It is defintely not what I had expected.

Idaho - [i]Three Sheets to the Wind[/i]
Pere Ubu - [i]The Modern Dance[/i]

Mogwai - Happy Songs For Happy People
Mineral - The Power of Failing

I f'ucking love mineral.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Idaho rules. I didn't know anyone here liked them.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I've had [i]Hearts of Palm[/i] for a couple years, and only just recently purchased [i]Three Sheets to the Wind[/i]. How would you compare their other albums to these?

Oh okay, I'm thinking of looking into their debut just because it's supposed to be so different. Supposedly a record that's significantly more harsh, but still maintains his melancholic style. Seems like it could be pretty interesting.

Really cool list this week.

1 Bob Marley & The Wailers 28
1 Matisyahu 28
3 So Called 24
4 Devendra Banhart 18
5 Madvillain 15
6 The Beatles 11
6 Calexico 11
6 Shpongle 11
10 Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers 8

Heh, stoner.

Charles Mingus

Camera Obscura - Underachievers Please Try Harder (very Belle & Sebastian-esque, but I'm sure they're tired of hearing that. it's still good anyway. "I should be suspended from class, I don't know my elbow from my ***".)
The Stooges - Fun House
Regurgitate - Hatefilled Vengeance (haha, this is rediculous. gurgle gurgle)
The Notwist - Neon Golden

I'm listening to the new Streets. Has anyone else heard it yet? It's up on myspace. On first listen it's nowhere near as good as the last two. Seems pretty good though.

yeah I've listened. It's got some gems.

Brian Eno & David Byrne - My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts

Flaming Lips - Yoshimi and Soft Bulletin.

I've got a question. Can Nacho (or anyone else) tell me a good starting point for The Fall? They have the most overwhelming discography of any band, ever.

Thanks man.

I have the Peel sessions and it is dope.

What genre of music is Botch, because I have been digging them.

[quote=Tangy zizzle]Heh, stoner.[/quote]Touché.

I'm working on cutting down on that, but you certainly caught me red handed with that list.

I am right there with you Jon haha

Wailers, Madvillain, and [i]SHPONGLE!?[/i] I'm ridiculous.

Last night I listened to some At The Drive-In before going to bed. I hadn't listened to them in a loooooong while.

[QUOTE=The Great Decay]Last night I listened to some At The Drive-In before going to bed. I hadn't listened to them in a loooooong while.[/QUOTE]Oh, good stuff. I listened to Relationship of Command the other day and was easilly satisfied, Invalid Litter Dept. is one of my favorite songs of all time.

I got sent some Absolute Kosher album that I'm listening to right now. Band is the Court and Spark. Kinda dreamy indie pop without being dream pop. A bit Enoish, in a way, a bit country in another. There are some interesting things here, but the singer's voice doesn't really strike me.

Also, I heard what I'm assuming is the new Tool single. It kinda started boring but got cool and then kinda ended. But that's the way all these "song" things work, huh?
