I'm listening to a bunch of Howard Devoto solo stuff I managed to get my hands on, It's okay.

Happymeal, no worries, just listen to his music. If you can get past the whole african thing, then you'll probably dig it.

You're acting like Fela's music is from outerspace. It's got a universal groove, as far as I can tell.

I saw one of his records in the jazz section the other day. Is that an accurate classification?

He's is from Africa, so is there is a strong element of traditional African music to his material. However, it is also very jazzy and at times funky.

I've been digging the only two good Elvis songs I've ever heard:

"Crying in the Chapel"
"You Made Me A Mountain"

So good.

Modest Mouse - The Lonesome Crowded West.

Great, Great, Great, CD

I went shopping today, with a big list of stuff I'd been vaguely thinking about buying, and came back with 16 new CDs..but only one of them was on the list. Bloody sales. Anyway, I got;

The B-52's - The B-52's
Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind
Bjork - Homogenic
The Eagles - Hotel California
The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Interpol - Antics
Jimmy Nail - Growing Up In Public (the one on the list)
Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
Portishead - Dummy
The Rat Pack - A Night On The Town With..
The Roots - Phrenology
Weezer - The Blue Album
The Wildhearts - Fishing For Luckies
The Wildhearts - Riff After Riff
The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts Strike Back

All of which will undergo diggin' over the next few days. At the moment though, I'm digging the Naked Gun boxed set, which I also bought.

That's a rather fine list Mr Tender. It certainly gets my stamp of approval.

Never heard of The Wildhearts. Who can you compare them too?

Picked up The Beach Boys - [i]Pet Sounds[/i] on full-stereo vinyl yesterday... that's been spinning...

Le Tigre has been shakin my hips as of today.

:D

[QUOTE=A Goonie]Never heard of The Wildhearts. Who can you compare them too?[/QUOTE]

They're a rock and roll band, with few fans on MX. Most of the bands I could compare them to would be really unknown rock bands, so it wouldn't help. Since the band are very open with fans, influences are easier; Stiff Little Fingers, Cheap Trick, Husker Du, Big Black, The ****ed, The Beatles, The Replacements, The Clash, The Ramones, Blue Oyster Cult.

Isis
The Flaming Lips
Interpol

[B]Bold statement warning:[/B]

Tim Kasher is possibly(probably) the best songwriter in ze world.

Bold question: Who?

The dude from Cursive.

Actually, I'll retract. Nick Cave is better, but Kasher is rather goodly.

Kasher is the freakin goods.

The guy from the Goo Goo Dolls is one of the best songwriters ever

*gets shot by everyone on mx*

Johnny Rzeznzizkzzz (Rzeznik)? Yeah, I think he's good at making power ballads for the 90s generation.

rufus wainwright - the art teacher

now that i've found that song, i've been listening to it constantly. it's so **** wonderful. the haunting piano, the powerful vocals. the desperate lyrics. ahhhh

Just dl'ed 2 JR Ewing albums, so I've been digging those.

Tangy you should listen to The Good Life, it is like Cursive only neater.

(Tim is in it)

Bought Isis - [i]Panopticon[/i] and Brian Wilson - [i]Smile[/i] yesterday. So I've been rocking to those. And I've been digging the menu music on my new Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVDs. DVD menus don't get much better than that.

I also went on a Pink Floyd listening spree, as it'd been a while since I spun any. Atom Heart/Meddle/Dark Side/Wish You Were Here/Animals.

And now I'm jammin' the Beulah.

Brian Wilson is awesome :thumb:

I've been on a Pink Floyd spree too. I watched the Wall yesterday, and that got me in the mood.

Also I've been listening to Atmosphere.

I'm currently going on a Street Spirit rampage, I'm downloading every live, acoustic and cover version of it that I can find. It's fantastic!

The Walkmen
Bright Eyes
Idlewild
Interpol
