Pram - Dark Island

Post-Rock that is kind of like the music you'd expect to happen during the stuff you'd see in a Lynch movie. Really good stuff.

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]After about two and a half years, I'm finally starting to dig [i]Surfer Rosa[/i]. Everything up to "Where Is My Mind??" is gold so far. I guess some records just eventually click. I think my favourite songs are the shorter ones, like "Broken Face" and "Something Against You".[/QUOTE]

Yes exactly. "Broken Face" and "Something Against You" are among my favorites as well, same with "Oh My Golly!" for similar reasons. I love to play "Broken Face" on bass because it's just a simple, fun bassline. Like most of them.

I've heard people say that they don't like the song 'Red Brick' of [I]Surfer Rosa[/I], I find that amazing. I really should listen to The Pixies again soon, it's been ages.

I used to think that a lot of the short tracks were really annoying, but I'm starting to see how they're great.

I even like Tony's Theme, although the vocal melody is pretty much identical to "Cactus" :):(

Bartender 05-17-2006 07:17 PM

I have a soft spot for Tony's Theme.

YDload 05-17-2006 07:22 PM

Hell yes, I finally have neighbors on last.fm. One of them is a guy who listens to "Pearl Bomb" by Melvins nonstop, and another is some guy who apparently listened to the new RHCP and Tool albums all week (number of listens for each artist is identical to the number of tracks on the new albums!).

Also I got a top songs list as well:

1 Drive Like Jehu - Golden Brown 7
2 Minus the Bear - Thanks for the Killer Game of Crisco Twister 6
2 NoMeansNo - Rags And Bones 6
2 Mastodon - Megalodon 6
5 Sublime - Same in the End 5
5 Minus the Bear - Spritz!! Spritz!!! 5
5 The Dillinger Escape Plan - Panasonic Youth 5
8 Dead Kennedys - Police Truck 4
8 Pixies - Broken Face 4
8 Queens of the Stone Age - Go With the Flow 4
8 Yes - Heart of the Sunrise 4
8 Melvins - Honey Bucket 4
8 At the Drive-In - Ticklish 4
8 Minus the Bear - We Are Not a Football Team 4
8 Iron Maiden - Killers 4
8 NoMeansNo - Big Dick 4
8 The Replacements - Bastards of Young 4
8 Bear vs. Shark - Buses/No Buses 4
8 Hüsker Dü - The Biggest Lie 4
8 Mastodon - Ísland 4
8 Minus the Bear - The Game Needed Me 4

I've been seriously digging bootlegs of Daft Punks Coachella performance on YouTube. Anyone who can make twiddling freaking knobs on a board look like the single greatest and exciting thing ever deserves my time. Not to mention that the robot masks are just awesome.

Little Man being Erased 05-17-2006 07:38 PM

"Rags and Bones" is my favourite NoMeansNo song.



Ben Folds Five - [I]Ben Folds Five[/I]
Queens of the Stone Age - [I]Lullabies to Paralyze[/I]

K-os - Exit

Man, I really dig this.

NOFX - [I]The Decline[/I]

Yay.

br3ad_man 05-17-2006 08:34 PM

Nay.

How can you not like the Decline?

Little Man being Erased 05-17-2006 08:36 PM

Gay.

Dang.

Zmev 05-17-2006 08:37 PM

Yay

ATM 05-17-2006 08:39 PM

I used to really like NOFX, Rancid, Guttermouth,etc when I was a freshman.

Glitterati 05-17-2006 09:12 PM

The Jesus And Mary Chain - [I]Psychocandy[/I]

Another amazing band I discovered thanks to MX. Possibly my favorite noise rock/shoegaze album ever, it's like Brian Wilson and Phil Spector meet Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.

Robert Crumb 05-17-2006 09:14 PM

Pere Ubu - Dub Housing

Jacaranda 05-17-2006 09:31 PM

I just listened to [I]10,000 Days[/I], it sucked but I kind of expected that since I don't like Tool.

Now I've got Velvet Underground - [I]VU & Nico[/I] playing much better.

Zorg 05-17-2006 09:34 PM

The Jesus Lizard - Goat

I felt like kicking *** today. But it rained. But I listened to it non-stop anyway.

Zmev 05-17-2006 09:44 PM

The Great Decay 05-17-2006 10:27 PM

NOFX is a bunch of guys in their 40's who still dye their hair, wear shorts, and sing about farts.
you have great taste, but this time i must say you've gone too far.

br3ad_man 05-17-2006 10:34 PM

[QUOTE=pixiesfanyo]How can you not like the Decline?[/QUOTE]

I can't say I've heard, but if everything else I've heard is anything to go on, NOFX are one of the lamest bands in the world.

The Good Life - [I]Album of the Year[/I]

I love everything on the album, but "Inmates" is by far my favorite.

That's my favourite song on the album, too.

br3ad_man 05-18-2006 01:15 AM

Soul-Junk - [i]1956[/i]

Probably my favourite modern hip-hop act. I've also been digging [i]The Queen Is Dead[/i].

I Was A Kaleidoscope 05-18-2006 04:09 AM

Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere

I now understand why so many people around here like this album.
