Yeah, they ripped off Oomph, and Laibach, and KMFDM

Hah, you sound kinda like a mix of my stepbrother and my friend Doug.

Personally I think Laibach's cover of the Beatles' album "Let It Be" is a bucket of shit, but whatev. I liked a lot of their other stuff though, it was good fun.

Pogues - rum sodomy & the lash
Pogues - If I should Fall from grace with God
Fisher Z - very best of
Captain Beefheart - Trout mask replica
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders from mars (had that only on tape and it was cheap)
Pink Floyd - Animals
Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel - very best of
Herman Brood - My Way, The Hits

On Rammstein. In my opinion their earlier work was far better than the stuff they release these days. A song like Engel or Sonne is much more fun than mein teil or keine lust. (America was a positive exception though) I don't care that they took very much from Laibach (dunno the other bands mentioned apart from Kraftwerk who clearly had an influence but not as much as Laibach obviously) cause they're usually nice to listen to and that's all that matters to me. They're not as special as many 16 year old would like me to think but they're ok. (Germany has bands like the beatsteaks and Wir sind helden who are far more fun. And wasn't Atari Teenage Riot German too?)

Atmosphere - Seven's Travels
Simply one of the best hip-hop albums yet created. Slug's emo-hop is unmatched, both in verbal acuity and emotional intensity. And Ant's production is none too shabby either.

Mobb Deep - Murda Muzik
(Hey, it was used and dirt cheap)

LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
Cheese. Cheesy McCheese Cheese.

Basement Jaxx - Remedy
Jaxx does it again...amazingly, while it's still upbeat dance music, the character of the album is completely different from Kish Kash. Which is, to wit, a sign of an awesome musical duo.

All Tomorrow's Parties 3.0 (Curated by Autechre)
An amazing collection of hip-hop, IDM, electro, techno, house, and various combinations of the above. Opening with Public Enemy's "Gotta Give the Peeps What They Need," it's all very oldskool IDM/dance from there on out, which is awesome. The inclusion of a Dr. Doooom remix was a nice touch too.

Frank Zappa - Strictly Commercial

That's some Zappa that I like. Thanks to StormRider for getting me into him.

Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life EP

Although I like all the songs, I'm disappointed because it's only 15 minutesish. Oh well, I wanted When the President Talks to God/True Blue on CD form, and it was only 5 bucks.

El Opium · « **Reply #1055 on:** 10 Dec 2005, 14:49 »

Just got these:
Monoshock-Walk to the Fire 2LP
Orange Goblin-Frequencies from Planet Ten

Only problem is my CD player crapped out on me and my record player needs a new needle. I'm listening to the OG on my laptop but it just doesn't go loud enough.

You like Strictly Commercial, huh? You'd probably really enjoy the whole Joe's Garage series, Overnite Sensation, and One Size Fits All, maybe?

Ayreon - Into the Electric Castle

Imagine my surprise when I found this in the local Borders on my lunch break. I mean, I was barely able to find these guys on LimeWire.

SpacemanSpiff · « **Reply #1058 on:** 11 Dec 2005, 12:35 »

I went nuts.

At a show on friday, I bought:
Disco Drive - What's Wrong With You, People?
Rainer Maria - Long Knives Drawn

Then, today, I ordered for me:
Slint - Spiderland
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
xbxrx - Sixth In Senses
Horse The Band - Themechanicalhand
Pitchfork - Eucalyptus
June of 44 - Tropics And Meridians
Botch - Anthology Of Dead Ends
Rainer Maria - Look Now, Look Again

And I also ordered (somewhere else and as a gift for me for christmas, since my parents have no idea where to get it):
31 Knots - Talk Like Blood
Lightning Bolt - Hypermagic Mountain

So ... let me see, what do we have here? Prog, math, all sorts of hardcore, spastic noise, post-hardcore, post-rock and what I assume is emo-pop. Seems like a good combination to me. :p

I seriously really fucking hate to admit it, but Borders has a pretty good cd collection; I mean, I found Crotchduster there. effing Crotchduster. and a bunch of Patton stuff, and whatnot.

Actually, this is pretty true. In fact, I also found:

Alex Skolnick Trio - Transformation

Essentially, the ex-Testament guitarist Alex Skolnick (who happens to be a Satriani-taught thrash wankmaster) formed a jazz group that covers Pink Floyd, Judas Priest, Dio, and Iron Maiden, among others. I had to fucking buy this, even though I hadn't heard anything off of it.

Kai · « **Reply #1064 on:** 13 Dec 2005, 17:11 »

That sounds pretty bitchin, actually. Any good? Because I might try to pick it up.

Storm Rider · « **Reply #1065 on:** 13 Dec 2005, 17:19 »

I actually haven't gotten a chance to listen to it yet, but I'll make sure to put some up in the Forced Listening thread as soon as I rip it.

Lifter Puller, Fiestas + Fiascos (actually bought it last week but it arrived in the mail today)
and
Beck, Guerolito 2xLP
The vinyl came with bonus tracks, which I didn't even notice until I had already bought it. I also have the CD coming in the mail-- the LPs don't come with this "remixed artwork."

noirony · « **Reply #1067 on:** 13 Dec 2005, 18:54 »

Just got Maxi Geil! & Playcolt in the mail yesterday. It's amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing...I can't stop listening to it and falling in love every single time. <3 <3 <3

The last two albums I've bought were, Modest Mouse - This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about, and Metric - Live it out. I like them both, and Modest Mouse has really grown on me. Alot.

Quote from: Leonidas

I've recently bought two albums by Jack Johnson. On And On and In Between Dreams.

I had never heard of him before untill I heard the album playing in the store and asked about it. Very much impressed.

He is amazing live. I've been listening to him for four or five years now and no matter how mainstream he gets his music still manages to be completely unique. I love it. Brushfire Fairytales is basically epic, you should get it next (if you like the ones you have)

yelley · « **Reply #1074 on:** 19 Dec 2005, 02:09 »

went to the cd store today...

porno graffitti - best blue's
porno graffitti - best red's
fiona apple - extraordinary machine. at first listen it sounds like a few of the songs are different than the version that leaked a while back. and the japan version has some bonus live tracks on it. ^_^

100 Yen is somewhere in the neighbourhood of $.85 USD, or $1 CAN. So $60USD.

If there's one thing I've learned in all my C.D.-buying years, it's that when you see an awesome but rarely stocked C.D. in a shop you've got to buy it straight away. Doesn't matter if money's tight, doesn't matter if you should be spending money on other people (hello, Christmas!). To that end, last week I impulse-bought:

- The Mountain Goats: Bitter Melon Farm; and
- The Mountain Goats: Ghana.

Kai · « **Reply #1080 on:** 20 Dec 2005, 05:33 »

I just bought Children of Bodom's "Are You Dead Yet?" yesterday. Fucking ace album.

Got the Xasthur/Leviathan split on CD last night, but I was in a very unkriegly mood and haven't gotten around to putting it on yet.

Also, a Skyclad CD I bought someone for Christmas just came in, barely in time. This is good.

Chutes too Narrow by The Shins
The Velvet Underground and Nico s/t

I was sorely tempted to also get A Certain Trigger by Maximo Park, Isn't Anything by My Bloody Valentine, Closer by Joy Division, and Sea Change by Beck, but I decided I needed to draw the limit somewhere.

I think I subconsciously took this advice to heart today and splurged on:

I really shouldn't have, but oh, I'm so glad I did.
