The New York Ska Jazz Ensemble and BOTAR. I feel like getting into ska these days.



What's the best Rocket From the Crypt album by the way?

[QUOTE=thriftstoresweater]stars the girl band????[/QUOTE]
Well they have a girl and guy vocalist, but it's an indie-ish band from Montreal.

sweet avatar ^^ good movie

[QUOTE=Tapeworm]Sage frickin' Francis.[/QUOTE]

nice.

I've been digging on Tilly and the Wall lately.

It's Indie Pop with a tap-dancer instead of a drummer, in case somebody hasn't heard of them. Fun music.

[QUOTE=DonMancini]Stars - Set Yourself on Fire.

Amazing album.[/QUOTE]

i've been meaning to check this out. i shall do so now.

[QUOTE=The Ashtray Girl]I've been digging a lot of X Japan and M83, so thanks to bread and Iai. :)[/QUOTE]

yay! :thumb:

I'm loving The Arcade Fire today and every other day. It's such a nice album.

Dashboard confessionals baby-----just broke up and it eases the pain :)

Theres no "s" in on the end of Dashboard Confessional.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]I bought [I]Worlds Apart [/I] yesterday, pretty dissapointing.[/QUOTE]


Personally, I thought it was the best record of 2005 thus far. Until the new Mars Volta officially comes out, that is.

nothing else worthwhile (and worldwide) has come out yet, at all. so you may technically be right.

Yeah ok, I like [I]Worlds Apart [/I] a lot more now, but still dissapointing.

Glad to see X Japan appearing in this thread. :)

Today I dug M83 for a bit, then listened to a load of stuff I'm gonna put on a CD for the object of my affections. Then, I listened to The Man Machine by Kraftwerk 3 times through, and I now officially declare it one of the best albums ever made.

I've also been having random bursts of digging Shpongle's Tales Of The Inexpressible, which is probably the best thing Zappa's ever recommended to me. And that's saying something.

^ an awesome record indeedy.

I'm liking Black Mountain right now

I really haven't found M83 to be as good as people say. After Before the Dawn Heals Us was released, it just reinforced my disappointment. For my ambient-progressive-electronic-indie-pop-whatever-you-wanna-label-it needs, Air is good enough for me. :)

Every time I put on [I]Dust[/i] by Screaming Trees, I realize how incredibly great it is, and I wonder why I don't play it more often.

I downloaded the new Electric Six album the other day. It wasnt as good as [I]Fire[/I], but it still shakes these hipz.

And I think to myself... why does Zappa not listen to the Afghan Whigs/

[QUOTE=asymm]The Grateful Dead - "American Beauty"[/QUOTE]

Awesome :thumb:

/expected

i really like m83... but air is definitely better. talkie walkie is becoming one of my all time favorites. i just watched lost in translation for the first time too, so "alone in kyoto" is just that much better.

Deja Voodoo

Black Mountain are great.

I'm also diggin' Spoon and Brian Eno.

I've been having a Bjork day today. Mostly Medulla and Homogenic.

I've been listening to radiohead all day.

What a nice day.

Oh and I listened to De-loused earlier too.

I haven't listened to De-Loused in a long time... I think I'll listen to it now.

I'm listening to the song "Frances the Mute." It's a single that's only available on vinyl, but luckily some helpful internet people have brought it to the realm of mp3.

It's pretty cool, although it's bookended by a few minutes of random noise.

[QUOTE=pinkyeti]Black Mountain are great.

rock and roll, you're on target.

[QUOTE=Bandaid]Deja Voodoo[/QUOTE]

You win.

/close thread.

I've been listening to M83, X Japan, and Chromatics lately.

Morphine - [I]Yes[/I]
Lightning Bolt - [I]Lightning Bolt[/I]
Pitchfork - [I]Eucalyptus/Saturn Outhouse[/I]
Murder City Devils - Whole discography, except for [I]R.I.P[/I]
Korekyojin - [I]Arabesque[/I]
(obligatory) QOTSA - [I]Songs for the Deaf[/I]

Today was the first time in a long time where I put on [I]Odessey and the Oracle[/I] by The Zombies, and found myself not in the mood for it.

I've been digging [I]The Commercial Album[/I] by the Residents the most today.

Skinny was born in a bathtub
And he grew so incredibly thin
Even the end of an eyedropper
Sucked him in.

[QUOTE=Tangy zizzle]And I think to myself... why does Zappa not listen to the Afghan Whigs/[/QUOTE]
I often find myself thinking the exact same thing.

Seriously, I reckon you'd really dig Black Love and Congregation. Probably not Gentlemen though.

Among other things, Sondre Lerche. I'm trying to figure out who his voice sounds exactly like.

The Cure mp3s.

So not their music, just their MP3's?

hrmm... today has been full of Readymade's new album [i]All The Plans Resting[/i]

and a revisit to Madvillain's [i]Madvillainy[/i] <- I forgot how excellent this album is.

yup and no.

They only had their Best of in HMV the other day, and I didn't really want to buy it.

So I have just been listening to the mp3s I have of theirs, and no specific album, but the stuff off Disintergration seems to be far better than their other stuff.

to Tangy zizzle.

madvillainy is beyond excellent.
