Ted Leo / Pharmacists - Who Do You Love?

The new CD might well be his best work. I wasn't convinced to start with, but it grows with every damn listen. It's as ludicrously catchy as the better bits of Shake The Sheets, with masterful songwriting on a par with Tyranny... and more variety than any of their albums to date (except that freaky first one). Fuckin' ace.

Dalek - Abandoned Language. I've been meaning to check this guy out for quite a while, ever since hearing his work on the Isis "Oceanin" remixes. I've since proceeded to download his whole back catalog, and will be buying this cd when it's properly released.

Jim Noir- "Turn Your Frown Into a Smile"

I threw it on shuffle, and this is what came up. Pretty much it's a fun song. It does make you smile.

Some songs just ooze cool. This is one of those songs.

Shostakovich - 5th Symphony

I want to make babies with whoever recommended this fella in the Classical thread. Quite epic.

Will · « **Reply #2609 on:** 27 Feb 2007, 09:17 »

I can't remember if I've listened to Shostakovich's 5th, but his 4th is one of the best pieces I've ever heard.

Currently listening to American Nightmare - Background Music. I LOVE Wes Eisold's lyrics.

amok · « **Reply #2610 on:** 27 Feb 2007, 09:26 »

Yeah, I downloaded a set of all 15 symphonies and started with the 4th. Mindblowing.

It's a quote from the show. The lead singer of the band summons a troll which destroys finland. He gets depressed and needs a drink. 100 drinks

the vocalist sounds like a cross between a death metal vocalist and an emo singer...in a bad way

he almost ruined a perfectly good album but his voice started growing on me and i'm hating myself for it

D?lek are actually a duo comprised of the rapper D?lek(which is a bit confusing) and the DJ Oktopus. I think Absence is a masterpiece of Avant Garde hiphop and one of the few albums involving rap that has made any lasting impression on me. I pre-ordered Abandoned Language of course. I got the impression from the tracks on their website that it is more subdued compared to Absence?

Emperor - Night of The Graveless Souls

The Riff in this track is so fucking classic and the way Faust just pounds the hell out of the drums is awesome, definately one of Emperors more under-rated songs. I love the way their Self Titled Ep sounds...

Damn that is a catchy chorus! Shame that the epic Soup that follows this one on Ege Bamyasi is something of a letdown.

Ege Bamyasi is a fun-tastic album.

Gerry Mulligan & Thelonious Monk - Sweet and Lovely

Just found this album (Mulligan Meets Monk) tonight before a Bartok piano concerto (played by Lang Lang) and dvoř?k 6th symphony concert by the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra. I love finding stuff like this.

have no idea what genre of music it falls into or if its an acceptable genre of music to forum majority, but at the moment i'm listening to a song called MIA by Avenged Sevenfold. A7X is one of my favorite bands right now, and the song has good lyrics in my opinion.
Judge me i'm curious to see wha tyou think of this song and/or band.

Asobi Seksu - "Thursday"

i love this song to no end.

I just saw them play last week. They were so extremely perfectly tight and explosive. They made the headliner (the ataris) look like amatuers. Best $15 bucks i've spent in a while. This song also just made it onto a mix i'm giving someone.

Jesu - Conqueror

It is not as heavy as I would have thought but it is quite good indeed. Perhaps it is because it is so shamelessly melodic at the same time.
The bleak artwork compliments the music perfectly.

A Natural Disaster is one of my favorite Anathem albums. Along with Eternity and The Silent Enigma.

Explosions in the Sky - Yasmin the Light

I never really like EitS, but I'm going over Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever for the second time (after not listening to it for about a year) and it's really good.

Scytale · « **Reply #2635 on:** 03 Mar 2007, 04:34 »

"Serenades" and "A Fine Day to Exit" are my favorite Anathema albums, I think they may have a new album comming out later this year. I noticed on there website that Lee Douglas is listed as an "official" member now too which is kind of cool, since I think she has a very nice voice.

LB: Funkadelic - Uncle Jam Wants You

Talk about contrasts. Uncle Jam Wants You is silly funky disco and Nattens Madrigal is evil spiritual black metal.
The latter is the best but there is some dynamite female singing on the former.

Write now I created a small playlist that has these bands/artists in it:

Voxtrot
hellogoodbye
The Zutons
The Honorary Title
The Strokes
Muse
Sufjan Stevens
Motion City Soundtrack
Harvey Danger
Wolf Parade
Snow Patrol
Third Eye Blind

Off that list, I'm on the All Of Your Love song by hellogoodbye. I chose these bands because the tone of their music, not so much the lyrics, kind of give a glimpse into the tone of my personality. Just like any great personality, it varies in subjects, just like the bands I listed. Which is why I made the particular playlist.

Barathrum nice, their stuff is so hard to get in Australia, I've been trying to track down a copy of "Hailstorm" for a while, the stuff of their's I've heard is heaps good, reminds me a bit of Necromantia.

Have I mentioned how good Buck 65's Secret House Against the World is around here before? It's a pretty lonely album; there isn't a song about another person on the album yet it doesn't feel self centred. It tells stories, sometimes explicitly and sometimes not so much. It also rocks out in places. Probably one of my favourite albums.
