the Free Design - Kites Are Fun

I want to put a Free Design song on a mix and I want it to make someone really happy.

Elliott Smith - Roman Candle

[QUOTE=br3ad_man]I'm making that tape for my friend, so I've been listening to Blackalicious, The Smiths, Fugazi and the Beastie Boys. I'm wondering if I should throw a Locust song on there. Probably not.[/QUOTE]
it certainly wouldn't make for a "good" mix.

"Star Sign" by Teenage Fanclub is a pretty good song, I suppose.

Definitely check out [I]Peggy Suicide[/I] and [I]World Shut Your Mouth[/I] if you haven't.

Mew- Frengers

Anyone want to reccommend another great Mew album?

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

Really fun album.

That was pretty meh worthy. I actually usually like the Killers because they are fun and catchy and that song was neither, really.

Yeah, it's not bad. It's a solid pop song, but it's not a giant revelation beyond their debut. At the same time though, it is obvious they attempted to change and hone their sound which is refreshing for a band with such fame.

Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor

This needs to come out proper like in a hurry. Was skeptical/needlessly critical at first, but this is so good, a perfect summer hip-hop album. Leak is at least as good, if not better than Fishscale.

ok you guys have to tell me what you think of the new song, because I like it way too much for it to be the Killers.[/QUOTE]
wow. i must admit, it's a huge improvement. unfortunately the singer still can't hit more than 3 notes in one song though.

and what in the world?? they have beards and long hair now!

Mike Oldfield - [I]Tubular Bells[/I]

This is the only Oldfield album that I still listen to, but it's excellent.

The Mars Volta - [I]Amputechture[/I]
The Lawrence Arms - [I]Oh! Calcutta![/I]
Off Minor - [I]The Heat Death Of The Universe[/I]

Tom Waits - Mule Variations and Alice

My two new Waits album (I bought Blue Valentine as well, but haven't listened to it as much. I now find it easier to get into the albums, where he sings like a demon). Mule Variations is obviously the superior album, but they're both great.

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]I'm pumped to see the Mountain Goats this summer. Great songwriter.[/QUOTE]

What would be a good album to get into these guys?

[QUOTE=Dimes Make Dollars]Check out [I]Tallahassee[/I] or [I]Protein Source of the Future Now![/I]

Prince - [I]Purple Rain[/I]

Prince is the ultimate wackjob in the mainstream. Nobody's ever been as popular as him and still as weird as him. No one I can think of at least.[/QUOTE]
the Beatles got really weird once they started taking LSD

John Lennon got a handjob from their gay manager because he wanted to see what being gay was like.

that > as[size=2]s[/size]less pants

Wacko Jacko.

Although, he's not exactly all that popular anymore.


Television - [I]Marquee Moon[/I]
Death Cab for Cutie - [I]Transatlanticism[/I]
Sons and Daughters - [I]The Repulsion Box[/I]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs - [I]Fever to Tell[/I]
Tom Waits - [I]Rain Dogs[/I]

Death Cab and YYY's because I'm seeing them at Splendour in the Grass this weekend and the rest because they're awesome as fu[size=2]ck.[/size]

Santana - Abraxas

I hate Santana so much. Its probably groundless and I can probably trace it back to my troubled childhood, but I perfer not too if you don't mind.

I saw Prince live for free once. :cool:

I got [I]Witness[/I] today on cd. I dig.

Spirit Caravan - Elusive Truth
Cut Chemist - The Audience's Listening
Nekromantix - Curse Of the Coffin
Sleep - Volume 2 EP
Cramps - The Smell of Female

The first CD I ever owned was given to me by someone I don't even know, and it was Sly and the Family Stone. I don't think I've listened to it since then.

Autechre makes nice cold ambeint grooves. It reminds of the First Outer Limits episode where the guy is using his radio station tower to KONTAKT aliens and his wife doesn't like the cold vibe of the place he's been giving off with endless adapters, wavelengths and drones etc.

Gary Numan - [I]Pleasure Principle[/I]
Sebadoh - [I]III[/I]
Weezer - [I]Blue[/I], [I]Pinkerton[/I]
Bill Evans - [I]Conversations with Myself[/I]
Opium Jukebox - [I]Music to Download Po[COLOR="White"]r[/COLOR]nography By[/I]

Third Eye Blind - [I]Blue[/I]
When ever I listen to this I feel that I shouldn't be enjoying it as much as I do, which is quiet abit. Oh well.
Television - [I]Marquee Moon[/I]

Bruce Springsteen - [i]Nebraska[/i]
Xiu Xiu - [i]Fabulous Muscles[/i]
Watashi Wa - [i]Eager Seas[/i]

Wu Tang Clan - [I]Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers)[/I]
Method Man - [I]Tical[/I]
Killah Priest - [I]Heavy Mental[/I]
Bruce Springsteen - [I]Born To Run[/I]

Been listening to alot of Wu Tang affiliated stuff the last couple of days. The last album on that list looks very out of place.

The Mountain Goats

So addictive.

Merzbow - Frog
Mastodon - Leviathan
Dosh - Dosh
Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath
