Cursive - [i]Happy Hollow[/i]
Wires on Fire - [i]Homewrecker[/i]
Beulah - [i]When Your Heartstrings Break[/i]

Zappa 06-18-2006 04:40 PM

[QUOTE=asymm]The final track is reaching its conclusion right now - and it's wonderful. The combination and varieties here are so liberating. It's beautiful, free, and open. An extremely inspiring listen. Unfortunately I have to go to work now, which is going to be quite the buzz-kill.[/QUOTE]

Do you come to this album with no background in free jazz?

Zappa 06-18-2006 05:09 PM

Lilys' [I]Eccsame the Photon Band[/I] is painfully mediocre. It's like Slowdive with a drier delivery and a slicker sound. Blech.

sketchyjoe 06-18-2006 05:25 PM

[b]Screeching Weasel - [i]Boogadaboogadaboogada[/i]
Screeching Weasel - [i]Television City Dream[/i]
Screeching Weasel - [i]How Make Enemies and Irritate People[/i][/b]
Classic pop-punk.

[b]Even in Blackouts - [i]Zeitgeists in Echo[/i]
Even in Blackouts - [i]Myths and Imaginary Musicians[/i][/b]
Classy acoustic pop-punk with the Screeching Weasel lead guitarist.

Zappa 06-18-2006 05:34 PM

[I]Discography[/I] by Indian Summer is some of the best emo I've ever heard. Am I allowed to call it emo?

Whoa, Zappa likes Indian Summer

Zappa 06-18-2006 05:50 PM

[QUOTE=Luxor]Whoa, Zappa likes Indian Summer[/QUOTE]

Except "Angry Son" has the most trite, cliche'd guitar part ever. And the Slint vocals on top just make it a laughable recording all around. Other than that, I dig the bluesy samples and the emo explosions throughout.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]I just heard Kirsty MacColl covering "A New England" and it's about a thousand times better than Billy Bragg's version.[/QUOTE]
Surely that's not possible.


[I]Lost in Translation[/I] Soundtrack
The Smiths - [I]The Smiths[/I]
Queens of the Stone Age - [I]Queens of the Stone Age[/I]
...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead - [I]Worlds Apart[/I]
AFI - [I]Sing the Sorrow[/I]
Air - [I]Talkie Walkie[/I]

For some reason I've never really given QOTSA's self-titled a proper listen until now after having had a copy of it for a couple of years at least. It's good but not as good as any of their other albums.

Is it all studio material? I only have their bootlegs.

What other emo do you like?

Zappa 06-18-2006 07:29 PM

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]Is it all studio material? I only have their bootlegs.

I do believe it to all be studio material. I got it from dei on slsk.

I like Rites of Spring and Embrace, and some screamo bands like Gospel, Hot Cross, Saetia, pg. 99, and Off Minor.

br3ad_man 06-18-2006 07:36 PM

Sweet. I didn't know you liked emo/screamo at all.

I listened to [i]In On The Kill Taker[/i] five times in a row last night. Fugazi are awesome. I need to bust out my copy of [i]Red Medicine[/i] now. Right now I'm listening to the new Underoath album. I actually quite like it. I liked some songs from their last album too, which I guess means I'm lame.

Zebra 06-18-2006 08:13 PM

The Casualties - [I]On the Front Line[/I]

I feel like such a punk rawker.

Tangy zizzle 06-18-2006 08:18 PM

400 Blows
The Buzzcocks
Luke Buda
Pavement - [I]Wowee Zowee[/I] (my favourite I think)

Zappa 06-18-2006 08:36 PM

I am listening to "Crazy" for the first time under my new Bose headphones, and I noticed wooshing sounds that I never heard before. I thought a car was passing by outside.

[QUOTE=Zappa][I]Discography[/I] by Indian Summer is some of the best emo I've ever heard. Am I allowed to call it emo?[/QUOTE]
My favorite emo band of all time. They are extremely bi-polar-- with all the silence then explotion and the screaming and the wahahahad.

[QUOTE=Bukowski]bIG fLAME - Rigour

Chaotic as hell post punk! I am going to fall in love with this album, it's so abrasive and disjointed. The way things should be.[/QUOTE]
Great band!

Zappa 06-18-2006 09:05 PM

Alex Drosen - [I]Sit and Melt[/I]
:rolleyes:
Under these Bose headphones my record sounds so much fuller and colorful! I listened to this the other day for the first time in a couple months, in my mom's car, and it sounded thin and basically like poop. But now I'm really captivated by it in this more dynamic presentation.

Tangy zizzle 06-18-2006 09:14 PM

Go you!

I assembled another group last week. We have an organ player (with an actual organ) now. There'll be some crappy MD recordings made soon, I'll post 'em.

Glitterati 06-18-2006 09:40 PM

Frank Zappa - [I]Freak Out![/I]

Forgot just how ****ing good this album is. Haven't listened to it in like a year.

Good times.

masada 06-18-2006 11:40 PM

Slint - [i]Spiderland[/i]
Blonde Redhead [i]Melody of Certain Damaged Lemons[/i]
and some regina spektor

asymm 06-19-2006 12:05 AM

[QUOTE=Zappa]Do you come to this album with no background in free jazz?[/QUOTE]
No, but it is a minimal background.

Zappa 06-19-2006 12:27 AM

I would highly recommend [I]Eternal Rhythm[/I] by Don Cherry.

Whaaaaaaat?!

That's awesome

asymm 06-19-2006 01:21 AM

[QUOTE=Zappa]I would highly recommend [I]Eternal Rhythm[/I] by Don Cherry.[/QUOTE]
Thank you, I'll listen to it soon.

I Was A Kaleidoscope 06-19-2006 01:31 AM

The Olivia Tremor Control - Dusk At Cubist Castle

About time I checked them outtt.
I like it. I still need time to let it sink in, I might even love it.

xstraightxedge777x 06-19-2006 02:34 AM

here's a little list of some bands i've been listening to a lot lately:

August Burns Red (good band despite the terrible name)
Melee
Underoath
Blesk
Terminal
Sufjan Stevens (simply amazing songwriter)

those are just a few

br3ad_man 06-19-2006 02:53 AM

I just finished reviewing New Order's [i]Substance[/i]. I've been listening to this record a lot to try to review it. The problem is, "Ceremony" and "Temptation" pwn everything else on it, so I only ever listen to those songs, even though the rest of it is really good.

Against Miik! 06-19-2006 02:59 AM

Anything AFI
God Is An Astronaut
Juelz Santana(wtf?)

I feel like such a punk rawker.[/QUOTE]The Casualties are such an incredibly awful band.

Interstate 06-19-2006 04:34 AM

Slint - [I]Spiderland[/I] (I want to get [I]Tweez[/I] but I'm afraid it will pale in comparison.)
Death Cab - [I]Forbidden Love EP[/I]
