I just got You Enemies Friends - You Are Being Videotaped... getting into them

Zappa, that song seriously haunts my dreams.

Zappa, knowing of Schnappi makes you the arguably best-informed indie nerd ever in my eyes.
No joke. Now, may I ask where you heard from it?

I've been talking about my three X-mas albums for a while, but now that I've finally received them and listened to them all, I have to say that I am amazingly astounded with all of them. I went 3/3 in album enjoyment, so hooray for that.

Minutemen- Double Nickels on the Dime
Primus- Frizzle Fry
Iron Maiden- Iron Maiden

I still can't pick one album over the others; I need a few more listens. But now I have a lot of basslines to learn, because these three albums are chock full of the low end.

We listened to it 5 or 6 times in German class this week.

I don't know how that qualifies me for indieness, though. It's number 1 on the German charts.

On of my friends lent me some Belle and Sebastian and i'm hooked, they're too nice..... also been checking out the blood arm who are really good and dresden dolls....... :thumb:

Aw man... I just rediscovered Gish from the Smashing Pumpkins.

Where did it ever go?

Also been listening to random SY albums and Isnt anything by My Bloody Valentine.

Murder by Death are very lovely.

Aren't they just.

I've been mostly listening to OK Computer, Leviathan and The Silent Circus today. Can't say I have been digging The Silent Circus, though.

oooOOOOooo Bartender is listening to Radiohead! All three of those albums are great.

Yeah, OKC was on sale, so I picked it up. Trying to break my streak of disliking Radiohead. It's better than previous experience would have made me think, for now.

I really can't get in to The Silent Circus very much, though, and that's been getting the most play of the three by far over the past 36 hours or so (trying to see what all the fuss is about, and so on).

I love that album, I guess it just works for some people and not for others, maybe in the same way I cant understand the fuss with Tool.

Yeah, I know, I've been reading the review of it in real time :) I just can't stand the death metal parts of the album, which unfortunately is most of it. It's just awful :-/ Especially when combined with the lyrics, which don't flow at all, it's horrible. I'm going to spend longer listening to it before I make a real decision though. It's not all bad, there are a few moments which are really good, but that just kind of makes the fact that the rest of it is bad worse.

In better news, Leviathan I thoroughly enjoyed. I also got Loveless just the other day, but haven't had time to listen to it past the first track yet. Excellent first track, though.

Woah, Bartender picks up the goods! I like the death metal parts but it's not really on the standard of something like Cryptopsy.

I know. Nevertheless. It was Indie before.
Schnappi sold out. :angry:

I've been digging X. I got their album [I]Los Angeles[/I], and I'm loving it.

Also been digging Pete Rock & CL Smooth, William Shatner, and Talking Heads.

This morning I've listened to;

Blink 182 - Self-Titled
Circle Takes The Square - As The Roots Undo
Weezer - Pinkerton (Half of it, actually)

Damien Rice - O has been tickling my ears as of late.

Iris! You're back! I was worried sick...

To prevent this being a spam post, I've been listening to a lot of stuff like The Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim today.

Apocalyptica are amazing. That's what I've been listening too alot lately.

picked up a few LPs... so they have been playing around here.

Cream - [i]Disraeli Gears[/i]
Sly and the Family Stone - [i]Greatest Hits[/i]
Plus, I bought [i]Ege Bamyasi[/i] yesterday as well...

the olivia tremor control - dusk at cubist castle

its great so far..

I just got Young Marble Giant's [I]Colossal Youth[/I]. Interesting stuff. Also, Handsome Boy Modelling School and The Kinks.

I thought I'd get into the classics more so I picked up [I]Funhouse[/I] by The Stooges, for it's $6.99 at HMV. It's mighty fine so far.

I'm watching the Tsunami AId live concert thing on webcast. Most of it's kind of okay, but India Arie and Stevie Wonder just did a song, which was awesome. So I'm digging the memory of that, while John Mayer is playing something.

I heard a Frames song on the radio before and I loved it.

And Grandaddy and Love Outside Andromeda are being broadcast live on JJJ this afternoon ay 5, so I'm looking forward to that.

A lot.

I can't say I'm much of a fan of Razorlight's album, it gets boring. But "Stumble and Fall" is a really good song. I love M83 as well.

i've been "digging" razorlight lately, also got heavily into my old faith no more albums and metallica, quite a variation really

graaaaaaaa

Liquid Tension Experiment
Looptroop/Promoe
Dick Dale

Nice stuff right here.

Talking Heads and Kylie Minogue.

New review!

I just realized after a week that the strange song that The Faint played on sunday night was a cover of Talking Heads' [I]Psycho Killer[/I] so great.

i've been listening to The Decemberists' "Picaresque" nonstop.

to be released in march.

:D

I'm not sure why, but I am heavily into Radiohead at the moment.

Primus! "Groundhog's Day" is such a fun song. I command you all to listen to it! Please?

Thelonious Monk. I end up rediscovering him periodically. I don't know why I so often forget to listen to him.

Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit for Rotten Vegetables
Damien Rice - O (Thanks to Closer reinspiring me to listen to this album more)
