The Forced Listening Thread
La Creme:
Not to Khar: While Django may be a tad discordant in his playing, you gotsta consider the fact that he did all that semi-virtuoso gypsy guitaring with two usable fingers on his left hand. That's why you hear so little chord work.
Ride On - Cruachan
Cute little flute intro. Makes me think of hobbits. I like hobbits. Singer sounds like a country singer. I don't like country singers. Evokes images of ugly Texan bitches in cowboy hats stabbing Bilbo. Guy singer starts singing. Sounds like even sexier version of the singer from the Pogues. Hobbits are saved from country singer by sexy Brittish knight. Ups and downs continue through the distorted guitar coming ine, which rocked like fuck, to downs like the sexy Pogues man bellowing very poorly (can one who is not Waits or Beefheart bellow correctly?).
Ups and downs, and every which ways. Decent stuff, but lacking in a consistant pattern of ass kickery.
7/10.
My song:
Saddam A Go Go - GWAR

Ha ha, great. That, in fact, IS the singer of the Pogues itself, mighty Shane MacGowan. He produced the great Cruachan-album "Folk-Lore" and sings on two of the tracks; the other one is a fantastic version of the old classic "Spancil Hill". The bellowing is done by their usual singer, though.
Gwar - Saddam A Go Go
OMG, the horn-section sounds brilliant! The rest of the song is okay, but I think I know why they are more known for their live-shows than for their recordings. On stage they rock heavily, but listening to them on my stereo doesnīt make much sense, I think. Maybe itīs too groovy for me, donīt know. 6/10
Turbostaat - Peterantjesiensoehn

Turbostaat - Peterantjesiensoehn
It's hard to think of anything to say about this song. It's staggeringly unremarkable. The music is pedestrian, but not woeful. The singing is competent, but not engaging at all. It just plods along, finishes and that's it. It's just yet another dull rock song in a world full of them.
2/10
Bilge Pump - Fags of Spain
banev:
No, no, itīs not a dull rock song. Itīs as emotional as hell. Unfortunately the sound quality of the file on their website is very bad, so that may cause the "just pods along"-effect. And Turbostaat-songs are definitely growers.
Well, enough whining.
Bilge Pump - Fags Of Spain
I listened to it three times, but nothing happened to me. I like the weirdness of this, but it definitely lacks something, a melody, a catchy riff, something like that. Sorry. 3/10
Amanda Woodward - La decadence de la decadence
a pack of wolves:
No, I have no problem with bad production. I'm sorry but the song was just incredibly uninteresting, and it won't be growing on me.
Amanda Woodward - La decadence de la decadence
Seriously, what's up with the French and screamo/emo? Anomie, Daitro and these guys... they've been regularly hitting us with some of the best bands in this style for a while now. Perhaps the French language just lends itself particularly well to that kind of desperation, or maybe you just get fucked over a lot living in France. Who knows. Anyway, Amanda Woodward do everything you'd want a band with that mid-90s influence to do, and unlike a lot of others they sound like they fucking mean it dammit.
8/10
