Brian Wilson's "smile"

"Heroes and Villains" is one of the best songs EVER.

Foxy Shazam! - The Flamingo Trigger.

Think System of a Down on acid at a sideshow.

Outkast - Call The Law

Idlewild seems pretty good so far, though nothing on Stankonia or Aquamini.

How Near How Far - ...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

Source Tags and Codes is such a good album.

Oxbow - ...The Stick

Man, Oxbow are pretty good. Kind of like taking The Jesus Lizard's Liar with Mogwai's Young Team.
I need to try and find where to buy this album (An Evil Heat).

Heard it all day. It is relaxing and strange and it is just what I need right now. It is my little brother's cd but he never listens to it and so I liberate it once in a while. Curiously it is also one of the only cds either of us own which does not have vocals.

Yay, yay for Mission of Burma.

Beautiful and heartbreaking if you keep his past drug abuse in mind. Shadows Collide With People is one of my favourite albums.

I kind of avoided his music for now, I'm not sure why. I need to fix that.
Any good albums I should listen to?

Well, Shadows Collide With People is only one I have heard of his but it is damned good. If you want something more avantgarde and dark, I'm told the double album Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt is good. Though he later admitted that those and Smile From the Streets You Hold was pretty much made to get drug money. When he cleaned up he became a workaholic and released a flurry of albums where To Record Only Water for Ten Days is for the lo-fi people. SCWP is more produced but still raw and has these off-beat "synth noise" tracks that goes with the otherworldly feel his music has. It is miles from RHCP territory and much better in my opinion. Also John is a surprisingly good vocalist, his voice cracks and strains and he alternates to a falsetto frequently. It hasn't been destroyed by his rough life but rather it has been shaped or "refined" by it. Not unlike Tom Waits in a way but without any resemblance of course.

Still listening to Shadows Collide With People, it is quite long.

Ulver - Theme's From William Blake's the Marriage of Heaven and Hell

I've heard several bands attempt to put "the Marriage of Heaven and Hell" to music (including an eerie syntheziser peice by Judas Iscariot) but this album is the most concentrated and complete effort I've heard. Really amazing. I love listening to this cd at low volume while I'm studying...

Count_Zero · « **Reply #870 on:** 20 Aug 2006, 08:32 »

Currently, Maybelline by Datarock. Unsure as to what to make of the album as a whole yet, it's def. got that whole 'disco-electro-punk-funk-core' thing that's so hip at the moment going on, but ehh. Think it's going to take a few more listens.

amok · « **Reply #871 on:** 21 Aug 2006, 07:27 »

Datarock are really good as long as you don't think about them too hard. I love that CD.

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - Little Dawn

Having owned "Tyranny of Distance" for months and loved it, but not really known/investigated anything further about the band, it came as a pleasant surprise to learn that they actually have quite a few more albums... which I am munching through with great pleasure. Quality disc, this.

KharBevNor · « **Reply #872 on:** 21 Aug 2006, 09:18 »

Blood Axis - The Hangman and the Papist

One of my favourite covers. Really gloomy and dirge-like, perfect for the song. Not that Strawbs' version was a barrel of laughs.

Pink Floyd - Astronomy Domine

The opening riff of this is so wonderfull malevolent and dark, I love it, and i don't get how he could have only played it twice in the song and then never again on the rest of it.

Edge of Sanity - Sacrificed

Now, you see, this is why Dan Swano is an awesome fucking dude. Here he is, with his band, making a revolutionary melodeath record, and one week during the songwriting, he just spins Floodland one too many times, pootles off into his studio and makes a fucking awesome dark as hell goth rock song, and then manages to get his fucking band-mates and label to put it on a record alongside songs like Jesus Cries. Fuck.

Oooh, and now it's changed to the first melodeath song in history:

Edge of Sanity - Enigma

If I was rocking out any harder bits of me would fall off.

ChaosTriangle · « **Reply #883 on:** 21 Aug 2006, 17:33 »

Robert Randolph and the Family Band - Squeeze. These guys are so incredibly fucking cool live, and this is just an awesome song in general. Soul/funk music for the win.

Ryan Adams - Demolition
Because of the thread Dynamitekid started, I still rate it as my least favorite album of his.. which means I still love it but wouldn't have it's babies. It is a really good album and You will always be the same is a really strong song.. ....

Yarr. It's growing on me. The second half seems more interesting than the overly clicky and beepy first half.

Currently listening: The Raconteurs cover of Gnarl's Barklay's 'Crazy'. It's well good. I was more than a bit disapointed with the Raconteurs album, but they seem funner live...
