I've been listening to a lot of Murder by Death lately, mostly [i]Who Will Survive..[/i], which is a change since previously I always listened to their first one a lot more. "Devil in Mexico" is fast becoming one of my favourite songs, by MBD or anyone else, as I can't get enough of the "dealing insults with his free hand" line. I'll have to get their new one sometime soon. I know a lot of people have said it isn't really very good, but I don't really care.

J. J. Jackson - But It's Alright is a really good (and surprisingly seemingly quite unknown) soul record, though more soul for partying, than southern soul. I think everyone'd do well to hear the title track, at least.

Bill Withers - Just As I Am is another album that looks like it isn't going to do well in the 65-74 list, but probably should. Most people are probably familiar with "Ain't No Sunshine", but it's far from the only great song on there. At least half the record's up to its standard, and the other half are good enough in themselves.

I'm also finding that I tend to enjoy songs I wouldn't normally think much of at all (e.g. Dashboard Confessional - Vindicated, Chad Kroeger - Hero, Switchfoot - Meant to Live) when they're on a Spiderman soundtrack.

Arrogant Sons of Bitches, Kultiration, Hello Saferide.

Hüsker Dü - [i]New Day Rising[/i]
Svarte Greiner - [i]Knive[/i]

Trying to write my artist's statement for my BFA review next week. It's not particularly easy to synopsize yourself and what you do in 1/2 a page.

i was just listening to new day rising last night

Red House Painter's - [I]Songs For A Blue Guitar[/I]
The Vidablue - [I]This is The Way To Rule[/I]

Magical Myster Tour - The Beatles

Their most underrated album. I actually like it more then Sgt. Peppers. All You Need is Love is a masterpiece.

I pretty much decided that Gospel and Slint are my favorite bands.

been listening to some [I]Songs About F[size=2]u[/size]cking[/I] too, and I feel some Sonic Youth coming on.

Which Big Black CD should I get Electrocution? Songs... or Rich Man's 8 Track, which I believe had Atomizer (I think that's what it was called) on it. Or could you possibly upload Songs About ****ing into the Album Trading thread? I've been meaning to get into them forever.

listening to evol right now

could someone hook me up with a gospel album

both you guys should get slsk if you don't have it and hit me up. my name is I Am Electrocution.

Jesus titty christ, you're the biggest Sonic Youth hating sonic youth fan of all time!

[QUOTE=Electrocution;13779979]both you guys should get slsk if you don't have it and hit me up. my name is I Am Electrocution.[/QUOTE]

i have soulseek, but it doesn't work for me anymore

and Electrocution, I have dial-up, so I just let the albums download when I go to bed. It's convienent for me to use the Album Trading thread, but it's defidently chill with me if you don't want to do it.

Raekwon the Chef - Only Built 4 Cuban Linx
I'm addicted to the Clan as of late

Two one album bands(I doubt you're counting Tweez). Those two albums are 6/5 no doubt.

[/QUOTE]

Can't find it anywhere. Me thinks it's out of print. It's not on Amazon either.

It is. Get the copulation one then.

K thanx.

i'm listening to destroyer's rubies right now

i don't likw the dude's voice

okay the first song on this album totally blows chunks

it's a little better now

as in, almost decent

I love Destroyer's Rubies, it's really euphoric.

maybe if the singer wasn't so ****ing annoying and they were a little less bland

and knew when to end songs

i need to buy christmas gifts (aka CDs) soon what should i get???

myself: i need two albums and i'm not sure what they should be. welp, you guys know my taste so tell me what i need to buy (not merely download but OWN)

brother 1: metalcore and real emo/screamo, but maybe also some of that dismemberment plan/minus the bear dancey indie rock.

brother 2: r&m technical metal/ prog-loving dork

HALP

Never heard this, but I'll try to. I've got a best of but I've never really investigated Withers properly.

I'm currently compiling a collection of 2006 deadest musicians. So I've been listening to some Buck Ownes, Syd Barrett and Ali Farka Toure in attempts to decide which songs to throw on for them. And for somenoe reason I wanted to hear "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" right now, so I just played that.

I've come to the conclusion that "The Manifold Curiosity" is one of the most badass songs ever.

You've got some pretty good opinions on the other page there, E.

What do you mean, sir Robert Crumb?

Rubies sucks, Son is sweet.

Yessuh.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars;13781465]also guys what do you think of my new thing [url]www.myspace.com/softadvertisement[/url]

I played it all on keyboard, and I don't know how to play keyboard, but it turned out ok anyway I guess[/QUOTE]

the good thing about keyboard is as long as you have other instruments going on around it, you don't have to be good at it at all to add to the music in a good way. It's a percussion instrument :)

overall, some interesting melodies going on, but the rhythm is pretty off (i'm assuming you played all the drums on the key board too, if not, invest in a metronome or a sense of timing). another thing is the songs don't really go anywhere, but they're not finished complete songs so it's good for what it is.

i'm getting a 16 track for christmas, and im currently working on what i think will end up being the best song i've made in a while. It's full of maps-esque tapping (chill like the ongoing horrible), interesting chord progressions that remind me of mew and a crescendo that gives radiohead a run for their money.

i can't wait to record it.

thanks alot dimes make dollars it's good to see someone here who likes to make music as i've never seen you around before

been listening to

afghan whigs
