Fun Stuff > BAND
HIT SHUFFLE SAY YEAH
Zaarin:
Sonic Youth - "Mildred Pierce" ("Mildred Pierce! Waaauuugghhh!" Song frightened the hell out of me when I first heard it. I was just nodding off to sleep when Thurston Moore started screaming. Damn you, Thurston, damn you.)
Moby - "Down Slow" (From Play. I bought the album last century, and probably haven't listened to it a great deal since. This track's pretty short and forgettable.)
TISM - "Drugs are Fuckin' Fun" (The title basically says it all. This is TISM doing what they do best: swearing and offending people.)
The Chicago Rhythm Kings - "There'll Be Some Changes Made" (From the Road to Perdition soundtrack, which is one of the greatest ever written. This is a cute but forgettable period jazz piece; the score composed especially for the film is vastly superior.)
Kraftwerk - "Radioactivity" ("Raaadioaktivität..." One of Kraftwerk's most haunting songs, and in my view, one of their best.)
The Durutti Column - "Sketch for Summer" (Ah, I love this song. Vini Reilly really is a great guitarist. Just another example of Factory Records glory in action.)
The Beatles - "Back in the USSR" (One of those Beatles songs you just have to sing along with. "Back in the US...back in the US...back in the USSR!")
amok:
Son Kite - On Air (Deerdrah Mix)
From a compilation I picked up called "Trance-Scandinavian Express". Awesome dance tune.
Backlash - Hiatus³
Kinda boring synthpop. Skipped.
Pavement - Fillmore Jive
Never really 'got' this band. It's kind of chilled out and there's some nice riffs I guess but their songs always make me think "I'd rather be listening to Neutral Milk Hotel". Hmm.
Liars - Drum And The Uncomfortable Can
Not sure what's going on here but I think I like it. :)
System.Syn - All That Now Has Left Your Reach
That's more like it... some nice danceable but emotional futurepop. I really dig this band's lyrics/vox.
Current 93 - Halo
Picked up this CD randomly after Khar's constant babbling about them in the Now Listening thread. Gotta say, it's some pretty impressive shit, although they have so many damn albums I wasn't sure which one to get... no idea if this is representative of their work as a whole or not. Repetitive but addictive.
Nodes of Ranvier - Predisposed
Woah. I only got this album because the band name was a running joke among my flatmates last year (don't ask) and never actually played it, but this is good shit. Nice angry metal. The riffs are kickass.
Skibas_clavicle:
Thrice - See You In The Shallows
Jawbox - The Big Shave
The Hives - The Hives Declair Guerre Nucleaire
The Dears - There Is No Such Thing As Love
Elliott Smith - Angeles
Le Tigre - My My Metrocard
Smashing Pumpkins - Beautiful
That's a pretty random list! Not fully representative, but still pretty awesome.
the whymy:
DARE - Gorillaz
Worlds Apart - ...Trail of Dead
Nothing Special - Local H
Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
Desensitized - Green Day
The Big Come Down - Nine Inch Nails.

I strike again!
Most of current 93's stuff is pretty representative: they do a lot of re-recording of different versions of songs and whatnot, as you'd expect a neo-folk outfit. All you want to make sure to avoid for representativeness is their very early industrial stuff, and their 'novelty' EPs (only Crowleymass and Lucifer Over London as far as I know). Everything after Swastikas for Noddy is much in a similiar vein. Oh, but also, avoid, unless you become a big fan, those goddamn bootlegs World Serpent kept re-releasing as official stuff, the sound quality is absolutely appaling, though it is somewhat worth it for Tibets crowd banter.
