Title: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: KharBevNor on 10 Jun 2006, 10:06
Personally, I didn't see any particular lack of discussion in the old thread. There was plenty of stuff going on there.

Anyway, I'm listening to John Otway - Really Free

And, to get discussion and debate rolling, I posit that this song is, in fact, certainly one of the ten best punk songs of all time.

If one of the other ten is not The UK Subs - Strangelhold, I will have to punch you.


Which I'm actually listening to.

Post by: KharBevNor on 10 Jun 2006, 10:22
If any UK Subs song, I would be thinking more along the lines of Party In Paris, but I guess Stranglehold is pretty awesome.

The 3rd and the Mortal - Sophisticated Vampires.

The 3rd and the Mortal are one of those bands which it's kinda funny that only metalheads really listen to. They're also pretty damn strange.

The 3rd and the Mortal are actually really good. I allways thought they were this band that only teenage goths and "scene" metalheads liked. I was pretty suprised when I listened to In This Room.

Anyway, I was going to PM est asking to bring back the old thread. A new one might be better.


Death in June - In Sacrilege
Title: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: KharBevNor on 10 Jun 2006, 12:33
The thing is, despite the fact they are in no way a metal band, 3rd and the Mortal are still mainly operating within the metal community and underground because all their connections and whatnot are in there. It's the same with most bands that switch from metal to something wierd, and a lot of metal bands side-projects. :Of the Wand and the Moon:, for example, are actually more widely known amongst metalheads than they are amongst neo-folk fans, and the same is far more true of groups like Deathstars and Alien Vampires.

Like a Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan


My favourite Bob Dylan song, and Zappa's favourite song too.

The hammond organ is just brilliant in this track.

Whatever, goddamn Hunter S. Thompson fanboy.

Yeah, it's my favourite Dylan track too.

I am listening to the Let It Be...Naked album.

Frankly, it's a massive improvement on the original. 'Dig A Pony' is masterful. It's still one of their weakest albums though. They should've released Abbey Road last.

I still prefer the string-drenched 'Long And Winding Road.'

I'm listening to "Wide Open Spaces" by the freakin' Dixie Chicks, after downloading not one, not two, but three of their songs last night. I think I'm getting soft in my old age (21), because I used to be all, "Ew, country". Now I find that I'm liking good songs regardless of genre, which is refreshing.

I think it's mostly Matt Bellamy's voice (although some parts in Absolution really remind me of Radiohead). Anyway, listenening to more Radiohead (in my oipinion, others surely disagree) is never a bad idea.

Muse - Exo-Politics

Very nice. Blackholes and Revelations is now probably my favourite Muse album.

Clinic-The Return of Evil Bill

I envision a spaghetti western with a cast of escaped mental patients. My favorite Clinic album & song.

I agree that Matt Bellamy's voice is similar to Thom's, though imo they sounded most like Radiohead on the first couple tracks of Showbiz (especially during the high notes on Muscle Museum).

Basically yeah, same thing. Basically saying "Es ist dunkel draußen" and "Es ist finster draußen" is the same thing. At least it is to the best of my knowledge.

Anywho, I am listening to:

ADD - Zoostation

Which is actually a cover of the U2 song. I am personally not a big fan of U2 at all, but I love ADD's U2 Cover CD.

i'm listening to a playlist of a bunch of random Hanoi Rocks songs. japanese neo-classic rock is pretty sick. ok i just spit that term out of my ass so if anyone knows a better classification for Hanoi Rocks, let me know. i've heard them called punk, rock & roll, soft rock, southern rock and all kinds of other stuff but i think neo-classic is a pretty fitting term.

Burzum - Ea, Lord of the Depths

I was wondering where you could buy Burzum records and not accidently  support some sick neo-nazi organisation? Or should I just download it instead?
Title: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: KharBevNor on 11 Jun 2006, 04:21
In this day and age, just download. It's possible to get Burzum merchandise without supporting Neo-Nazis, but my understanding is that most of the distribution of Burzum is now owned by Resistance Records. I'm not quite sure about Misanthropy though. Make sure you don't get anything via Cympophane or Unholy Records though.

Actually, just download.

oh yes, there is a difference. first, finsternis is quite a bit more intense than dunkelheit, as in "not only dark, but really dark" and finsternis is much more sinister a word than dunkelheit, which tends to be a more neutral and objective description of one's environment.
i hope i could help.

anyway, i'm listening to about one hour of sven väth's set at this years time warp.

Muse- super massive blackhole

This is exactly what the last Beck album should've sounded like. Good to see they're turning down the operatics before they turn into a parody of themselve. Fuck know what it's all about- looking at the title- maybe a soundgarden tribute?

The new Muse CD is indeed very sexy. Can't wait to hear a properly mastered version.

I love bands who're perpetually stuck in the 80s. And also bands who make gay synthpop. So this is a pretty good record in my books.

YES YES YES,
I am on edge waiting for Tweedles.

I've been really pysched for RoC as well, but I'm torchered by the fact that the special release with all the fancy bells and whisles is using that goofy "burn it yourself" method, because my audio engineering professor tells me burned albums only last year or two at most.. But I suppose I can just keep it on my hard drive and just keep on reburning it with new CDs.
But yes, when I finally get piad, that sucker is mine (as well as the Cube E boxset)

IMO, this is the EELS song that, if you love it, you are truly an EELS fan. I say this because nearly every person ever who casually listens to them has never heard this song, while it happens to be one of the best EELS songs ever at all.

PS Kai, if they come near you on this tour (No Strings Attached, heh), see them. It is epicly loud sonic ear rape. And they do a bomb ass cover of Jesus Gonna Be Here.

At the moment I am listening to Blut Aus Nord - My Prayer Beyond Ginnungagap. And a very lovely track it is.

Fort Minor's "Where'd You Go" is on TV right now.

I didn't anticipate this, but I like it a little. Maudlin and kinda melodramatic it may be, but it also has expresses a legitimate sentiment and has a decent hook. Basically it's mix CD fodder for someone you miss, guys.

EDIT: He just said "when you come back I won't be here" so maybe that won't work. Still a decent song though.

Khar: there was very little discussion in the old thread.  I mean, I saw one or two people talking about the music with each other, sure, but the majority of what I saw of the thread consisted of people listing what they were listening to and leaving.  When a thread looks like it could have been automatically posted to randomly by a Winamp/iTunes plugin I don't really see the point.

This time around, however, it's lookin' good.

Kai: I think I have one Freezepop album (Fancy Ultra-fresh), but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.  I previously heard the fansong they did for Achewood (Here comes a very special boy) and really liked it, so I was all kinds of puzzled as to why the album let me down.

I'm listening to Warning by Freestylers.  I've set up this cool "Surprise me" set in iTunes.  It gives me music that I haven't listened to in the last month, minus certain things like songs under a minute and over 10 mins, and minus certain keywords that are mostly comedy or spoken word artists.  I feed that source list into the "Party Shuffle" and as a result I get to listen to some stuff that I wouldn't normally choose.   I have a lot of stuff that I haven't listened to properly, so it is good to get it thrown at me randomly.

I really should give The Greatest and her backcatalog a listen, after some tries I ended up adoring You Are Free. There is no excuse really, since my little brother has it all on his pc. A perfect pirate he is, now if he'd just stop downloading all that hardcore/screamo/emo shite...

Amber - The More You Get Into It

Like Low without guitar and vocal harmonies, this is danish slowcore for you (http://www.myspace.com/amberbanddk) and it is quite good :)
Steve Albini produced their debut and John Parish is producing parts of the new one with Albini doing the mastering, so they keep pretty prominent company.

Alan Stivell - De' Ha' Bla'

Celtic folk ballad played mostly on a harp. Also sung entirely in Celtic, which gives it sort of an otherworldly atmosphere.

Early Cure for the win, Kai.

I'm listening to the new Peaches album Impeach My Bush. It's good, dirty fun. Sample lyric (from 'Tent in Your Pants'): "I see something in your pants that can't be real/ Don't hold back baby tell me what's the deal?/ I gotta move in closer and cop a feel/ Oh my you've got something with mass appeal".

Also "Hurts so good I got a soregasm".

Peaches is pretty filthy!

I should really get some Bauhaus one of these days. Hopefully the crappy stores near where I live stock it (I think I've seen some Bauhaus there, but I'm not positive).

Anyway, I don't listen to music when I'm on the computer most of the time, so I'll mostly use this for when I get back from listening to something if you guys don't mind.

So, I just finished listening to: Television's Little Johnny Jewel, and that bonus instrumental that comes with the Marquee Moon reissue (I believe the liner notes refer to it as "A Mi Amore"); Black Sabbath's first album; and the Stooges' Fun House, and I'll now comment on each of them (hopefully) briefly.

The Television songs are basically what I listen to when I don't want to hear Marquee Moon in its entirety. That's not to marginalize them or anything, because they both fucking rock. I particularly love the instrumental that takes up the middle portion of Little Johnny Jewel, and the other's just awesome all the way through.

The Black Sabbath album is actually my first encounter with them. I'd had the album for a while, but never actually listened to it until now. My first impression is mostly good; I'm a sucker for Black Sabbath's kind of lyrics, first of all, though since I tend to miss lyrics a lot, especially when hearing a song for the first time, I didn't hear all of them by a long shot. I really didn't like Ozzy's vocals at first, but I found myself liking them more later on. I'm not sure whether I just got used to them or whether I just didn't like his delivery on the title track. As for the music, I don't have much to say about it, but I liked it for the most part. I also suspect I may not have been playing it quite loud enough (though usually that's not a problem for me).

As for Fun House, I can't say much that hasn't been said before, but it's an incredible album. 1970 is also my favorite song by anyone currently. That live fragment of it from the same year is also great; I only wish the entire concert were available.

Jolie Holland: Catalpa.

Near where I live there's a bar called the Glitch Bar.  On Sunday afternoons at the Glitch they have a thing which has variously been called "My Top Five Songs", "Five of My Favourite Songs", and "Loungeroom Fancies."  This involves two to three local musicians, comedians, or other indie-scene luminaries playing five of their favourite songs and talking humourously about each one and its place in their life.  A couple of Sundays ago a fine local muso by the name of Martin Martini (http://www.martinmartini.com) played a song, "the Littlest Birds", by Jolie Holland, from her debut album.  Just about everybody who listened to it vowed to go out and buy the album, if they didn't already own it.  I was one of that group, and I bought that album, and I am quite loving it.  I note also that Ms. Holland will shortly be supporting Augie March on their tour.  An enticing proposition!

Currently listening to: Pawn Shoppe Heart.  I was pondering the irony of the Von Bondies' progression from Garage to Art/Noise between Lack of Communication and Pawn Shoppe Heart matching a similar progression in the White Stripes' sound, culminating in Get Behind Me Satan.

Indeed they are. I really haven't listened to the alternate versions that much, but when I did I either didn't hear much difference or I disliked the changes I did hear. I would've preferred to hear more unreleased tracks (if there are more) or live performances. Speaking of which, I got The Blow-Up a couple days ago, but haven't listened to it yet. That should happen pretty soon.

I'm listening to http://WOXY.com and I'm not sure whether or not this is old news, but if you haven't tried it before you really should 'cause it's awesome. It's an independent radio station out of the Cincinnati area that got sold and shut down for a while, and then was reborn with an internet-only broadcast. And they play good good stuff. You can also listen to it on iTunes radio, it's under alt/modern rock. I sound like a spammer, probably. Sorry.

At the moment they are playing Crosses by Zero 7. I have never heard it before. It's a pretty song.

Except I don't particularly agree with it.

Since the track Warsaw - Warsaw doesn't exist, and it's in the Joy Division style, I would call it a Joy Division song.

And because I'm back on the track

Ian Dury and the Blockheads - There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards

Noel Coward was a charmer.
As a writer he was drama.
Velvet, jackets and pyjamas,
The gay divorce and other dramas.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Van Gough did some eyeball pleasers.
He must have been a pencil squeezer.
He didn't do the Mona Lisa,
That was an Italian geezer.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Einstein can't be classed as witless.
He claimed atoms were the littlest.
When you did a bit of splittemness,
Frighten everybody shitless.

There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Probably got help from their mum
(who had help from her mum).
There ain't half been some clever bastards.
Now that we've had some,
let's hope that there's lots more to come.

There ain't half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
There ain't half been some clever bas-tards.

Okey-dokey!
Oh!
Segovia.
Da-laa la-laa da-daa da-lee
De dump di dump de dump-dump-diddle lum-lee.

There ain't half been some clever bastards

Strangely more so among rock fans than dance heads.  Spasticus Autisticus is one of those big Ibiza hits of yesteryear, back when that meant something that was a bit weird in a club setting...  On the first volume of the Disco Not Disco compilations.

Edit: I'm listening to the untitled closing track on the new Icy Demons album, Tears of A Clone.  A homemade keyboard plays the 'Chariots of Fire' theme before a single bass guitar note is plucked and a really leaden beat starts plodding away.  Then there's this weird chant "I can't find my pizza / Goddamn I'm heavy / I can't see my penis / Where the hell is Lisa? / Dreaming 'bout the cheese steaks / That they got in Philly / But I'm in Chicago / Goddamn I'm hungry" ... and on it goes... what the fuck is going on?  Makes me laugh out loud, so that's all good.

Skade - Ved det Sorte Kapel(At the Black Chapel)

This is my little hobby noise/ambient project. First thing I did was to think of a decent name and ended up with Skade which means a number of things. First it means injury but also more general, a car can have a skade for example as well as a certain species of birds. The ones that are attract to shiny things but whose english name temporarily escapes me. It is also the Danish name of a jætte(troll) in nordic mythology, who married Njord, god of the sea and stuff, but was unhappy. Because she prefered in the mountains where she came from, sort of like that babylonian queen. This particular "song"(soundscape is probably more apt) consists of a bell which is actually me hitting on a lamp with a screwdriver and then slowing it down muchly.
Then I have vocals in latin, saying "save me God" and machinegun fire from a tank as well as moaning courtesy of yours truly.
I am trying to convince myself that it could be worse ;)

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Static


I'm debating whether or not to see these guys when they come here in August. I really like them, but do they put on a good show? Has anybody seen them? Positive? negative? Yes? No? Avoid it like the plague? I don't know.

They would only be able to do, like, 3 songs a set.

And if one of them wasn't Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls, I'd shoot them.

They had better be careful if they come down the south of England.

Well, the fact that they'd only get through 3 songs doesn't discourage me. I'm more worried about whether they put on a good show or not. It doesn't matter much. I'll probably end up going anyways, since it's not often anybody comes through Kansas.

And Rockets Fall on Rocket Falls is ace.

Ace enough that I just started listening to it.



At what point did Pop Will Eat Itself become shit, exactly? I have two albums, although I haven't listened to them much ( I have This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This! and The Looks or the Lifestyle).

Proud Scum - "Suicide II", from a compilation of obscure late '70s NZ punk called Hate Your Neighbours.

It begins with a spoken word description of the birth of one John Atrocity, who apparently had "the biggest pair of ears anyone had ever seen". Apparently John grows up to join a band called Proud Scum, but then leaves it six months afterwards and hurls himself off Grafton Bridge. Any Aucklanders would know that this isn't a fall you'd be likely to walk away from.

Anyway, the lyrics sort of degenerate to basically "you've got big ears, hurry up and kill yourself, John". It's funny, in a mean sort of way.

I'm listening to "Stop If You Think You've Heard This One Before", from the Smiths' final album, Strangeways, Here We Come.

I came to the album expecting a disappointing, scattered effort, knowing the tensions within the band at the time. But I've been pleasantly surprised to find a cohesive, interesting piece of work, and based on what I've heard so far, I'd certainly call it equal in quality to the The Queen Is Dead, if not better. I can definitely see how "Death of a Disco Dancer" influenced Thom Yorke and co, for example.

Jim O'Rourke - I'm Happy, and I'm Singing, and a 1,2,3,4

Simply a fantastic album, anyone who likes IDM or ambient should be interested. Its calm and meditative/repetive even though there is hell of a lot going on. I didn't particularly like him in Sonic Youth(I guess I am stuck in the 80's regarding them) but damn is he wonderful on his own!
And I'm Singing is especially a great track, it is also the shortest here, I'm Happy is 11 min. and  and a 1,2,3,4 is some 20 min. long.
I have to go find more of his stuff really :)
Title: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: nuisance on 18 Jun 2006, 03:03
That's the only album he's done like that.  You could try the Fenn'O'Berg releases, I guess, but they're not quite the same.  They're collobations between him, (Christian) Fennesz and MEGO label boss Pita (Peter Rehberg).  Not too shabby.

Actually, have you heard Fennesz?  'I'm Happy and I'm Singing and 1, 2, 3, 4' came out the same year as his 'Endless Summer' and both are excellent examples of how people identified as guitarists can make fucking awesome electronic music.  Fennesz is quite big with indie/rock nerrrrds because his music has steadily incorporated more and more traditional ideas (like, you know, rhythm and harmony ;)).

I'm listening to Gramm's 'Personal Rock'.  One of my favourite albums and a real turning point for me when I heard it in 99.  Some kind of half-way point between the soft and packed-with-noises ambience of Eno's 'Ambient 4: On Land' and house.  Combined my interests in dance music and listening elecrtonica in a way I couldn't really imagine being this ... deep.  I've been following the producer pretty religiously ever since - his name's Jan Jelinek (http://www.discogs.com/artist/Jan+Jelinek).

Post by: Praeserpium Machinarum on 18 Jun 2006, 03:16
I've heard of Fennesz but haven't listened to him, should I just start with Endless Summer?

I am possibly going to a three-day electronica festival called Forma Nova, so I might as well familiarize myself with it. Ullrich Schnauss is coming, he's pretty big isn't he?

Yeah, Ulrich Schnauss is really big in the (tiny) world of "indietronica".  That's basically quiet electronic music that's mining similar moods / musical themes to 90s shoegazer stuff and wandering post-rock (Godspeed et al), but doing it with computers instead of a band.  It's kinda mopey and tries to pull on the heart strings, always gets called "cinematic" and shit. :)  Maybe this decade's version of what 4AD was doing in the 80s?

I did a wee search for the line-up of that festival, haven't heard of most of the artists.  I'd still probably check out all the links on the myspace page and go anyway, because by its nature this kind of music is pretty anonymous!  It's not like soft instrumental stuff gets massive airplay anywhere.

Plaid are very highly regarded, really distinctive, highly melodic stuff coming from a dance background.  They've been at it for yaers and still going strong, which is usually a good sign.  Their stuff is still "electronica", for sure (I mean DJs won't play it in a club or anything) but it's very beat-based and lively, as well as having all the interweaving melodies.  Very fiddly and baroque at times, it usually works out. ;)

.tape. is really nice, IMO.  Good nice, I mean. :)  He has an EP on Observatory Online that's free for download, so I won't bother describing what he's up to.

I think those are the only 3 names I've heard!

FWIW, some of my favourite music in this kind of vein is coming out of Copenhagen...  I like these guys in their various permutations: http://www.systemf3.com  I think they've all released records on the same label as Schnauss.  I'm in Japan, there's whole racks of this kind of thing available in even the big chain stores.  (= I'm in heaven ;))

Edit: Ulrich Schnauss has a track on this free compilation, Intelligent Toys 2 (http://www.sutemos.net/en/player;gid,8), which is a little more beat-y than most of his, but is pretty indicative.  Those synths are too clean and sparkly for me.

I know them and have enjoyed Dub Tractor's More or Less Mono, Opiate's Sometimes EP and System-System. We have a bunch of really talented electronica artists here in Denmark. Wäldchengarten, Manual and that excentric guy Goodiepal also comes to mind.
I really should get some Goodiepal because he seems like just the kind of guy I'd like. You know touring with a mechanical bird, working and performing for patients at asylums on the Faroe Islands etc.

Q magazine gave away a free Glasto CD, and it had a live version of At Least That's What You Said on it. This majestic, six minute version. That's four and half minutes of Jeff Tweedy soloing like crazy. After that, I immediately went and bought A Ghost Is Born, and haven't looked back since. They're now my favourite non-defunct band.

Very interesting that's for sure, does anyone know if this is modern composition?

It is. Reich is one of the best modern composers today.
I uploaded Different Trains some time ago to the forums.


Anyway, I'm sitting listening to Queens Of The Stone Age - Everybody Knows That You're Insane
Just waiting that a few more MGS3 days will pass and then could take out that pain in the ass The End.

I want to present to you internets, The Mermen, a progressive surf band. They are basically the only thing I have listened to today. They play 2 types of songs: Atmospheric-surf-jams with short bursts of guitar attacks and Rock-the-fuck-out noise-surf-jams with endless guitar attacks.


Atmospheric: "With No Definite Future And No Purpose Other Than To Prevail Somehow..." (http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=1C9860A43F740317)

Sabbat - Horned is the Hunter

Absolute fucking brilliance. From the atmospheric intro to the succession of crushing riffs and classic Walkyier verbiage, just perfection.

"Alone he sits -
a vanquished Lord upon an oaken throne,
presiding o'er this conflict
that chills him to the bone,
for each tarnished blade that festers
is a thorn thrust in his side,
and His pain alone bears witness
to the folly of mankind.

What hope for a king with no kingdom to rule?
now his children desert him -
regard him a fool,
and are bonded to progress -
the plough and the scythe -
that lay waste and leave barren
what beauty survives
though legends of power and glory suffice -
for these 'latter-day-heroes'
who live out their lives,
chained by conformity shackled by greed -
and told to believe they don't want to be freed."

Currently, I'm just finishing up an advance of Frontline Assembly's new album, Artificial Soldier.  It's amazing.  Best album they've made since Implode.  Super aggressive and really dense, after the disappointingly Delerium-esque Civilization.  And, And!  They've got guest vocals from Jean-Luc De Meyer of F242 and Eskil Simonsson from Covenant.

Okay, and on the switch now, the Modcom remix of VNV Nation's Chrome.  Excellent remix, maybe my favourite, though the Bolloxed mix is better than the LP version as well.

Bad Wizard - Wizard of Shackles

OK, so apparently "Bad Wizard" is so named because it's what "Budweiser" sounds like when you're hammered AND blazed out of your head.  But then they made a SONG with the word "Wizard" in the title, and it's pretty much the exact opposite of every other song on this album ("#1 Tonight!").  The others are all short (3:09 tops), fast, hard-rockin' bar anthems with names like "Turn It Up (Turn Me On)" and "Six to Mid-Nite Man" but then the album closes out with this long (7:18), heavy, swirly, repetitive instrumental behemoth that sounds more like Queens of the Stone Age on too much opium.  It's like going through an entire album sitting in the back of a beat-up red pickup throwing back cases of PBR, and then getting abducted by aliens at the end.

Emperor - Curse all you Men

Black metal and bad production are often associated, so is it ironic or not that Emperor's productions actually tend to be pretty clear and everything? I mean, sure, they're one of BM's biggest names, if not THE biggest, so it would make sense that they could afford it, but what unspoken tenets are they breaking? Anywway, with all of the random air-raid siren yells thrown in here, I guess this is what you would call "Black Power Metal". I have a dream of creating my own Black Power Metal band one day, and we will be called X-Malcom.

Rin' - 飛鳥 - 02 - 美貌の国

It's a Japanese trio I recently discovered when browsing my local music store's international music section.  They mix traditional Japanese instrumentation with electronica... a mixture of trance/club (I can never tell the difference between those two,) downtempo, and right now (03 - The Clash) it's a cool little jazz piece.

I'd reccomend this to anyone who likes electronica, but the album is a tad expensive to buy new... 2950円 on the back... about $27 IIRC plus shipping.  I bought mine for $15 used, and suprisingly, it's on iTunes US for $9.99.

Edit... oops, for those who can't read Japanese, that track is:

Post by: KharBevNor on 29 Jun 2006, 02:21
When I first listened to it I was quite impressed by Devils Steed, but the more  I listen to it, the more I think it may be their best album ever. It's certainly the best album of 2005. I suppose it is, basically, a fusion of two of my favourite Sol Invictus albums (I see it as Death of the West meets In A Garden Green) with both the folky rawness, and the ethereal intensity.

And because I had to listen to it talking about it.

Sol Invictus - There Did Three Knights Come From the West

"Oh I wish I was on yonder stile...
There I would sit and bleed a while..."

The Devil Steed is my second favorite Sol Invictus album, right after The Hill Of Crosses.
THOC is one of those albums that just grabs you after the first 30 seconds of Chime The Day. Brilliant.

Thom Yorke - Cymbal Rush

After a few listens, I have to say that I really like this album. Totally going to pick it up the minute its out.
Still looking forward to the new Radiohead album though.

I Don't Mind - The Decemberists. Off their 5 Songs [EP].

Not only does it have one of my favorite lyrics in any song ("And you don't know why you got all dolled up for a suicide.") but it also has that amazing, possibly a flute, duet after every chorus.

(Just for reference, one of my other favorite lyrics is from the same CD. My Mother Was a Chinese Trapeze Artist - The Decemberists. "...Who deserted his rank, to follow his dreams, and start up a punk rock band in South Carolina./ I get letters sometimes, they bought a plantation. She weeds the tobacco, he offends the nation.")

Since none of the Skyclad fans ever took me seriously on my search for the truth, I went to I-Tunes to see for myself and downloaded and listened to "Think Back and Lie of England" which... is such an awesome song title and play on words I had to try it out.

Is this metal? If so, I may have been wrong about not liking metal. The lyrics are awesome, and the music never really comes even close to noise. The driving beat is just so catchy. I must admit this song without the lyrics sounds like boss music for a videogame in some parts, but that's actually kinda cool. The guitar work is fantastic. Consider me sold.

Think Back and Lie of England is more metal than your mum. Fact. Skyclad were never really constrained by the boundaries of metal though, and in their later works they pay more heed to influences like Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and Blue Oyster Cult

And yes, that song is something nearing the peak of Martin Walkyier wordplay:

"Cruel Brittania ruled the waves,
Empire oiled by toiling slaves,
White flag stains St. George Cross red,
and blues sung for the countless dead!
God save brave Johnny Company
Stiff upper-lipped he sipped his tea
Atop a mound of babes he'd killed
to keep our nations coffers filled!"

The fact is, Walkyier is just an incredible lyricist. It's not just the allusions, and the wordplay, though it is that, it's that he uses every device of lyrical poetry available when most people are content with simple rhymes or half-rhymes. Martin breaks out the alliteration, the meter, the internal rhymes, everything. Brilliant stuff. And I mean...the mans flow. The only way I can describe it. It's like Swinbourne reciting Crowley dosed on speed, especially on the earlier albums. I cannot express how much I love Skyclad. I mean, it's not just the wordplay either, as you've noticed. They have brilliant guitar and fiddle work as well. And you're right...it is actually very catchy at times.

And now, because you've got me onto 'em again you git...

Skyclad - Polkageist!

"One day whilst out exploring,
In some far-flung foreign corner,
I took respite from journey,
To admire the local fauna
When from the twilight distance,
A peal of bells and laughter,
Sent my heart strings fluttering,
Like bats through chapel rafters!
On entering a clearing
I did sense impending peril,
Beheld a gypsy wench,
With flashing eyes bright, sharp and feral
She smiled at me so sweetly
(Bit a lip that smacked of danger)
And gave a look fit to disarm
This poor unwilling stranger!"

Built To Spill - 'Goin' Against Your Mind'

This is the first track on the new BTS album and it's one of the best on the disc. It's a real slow builder, but it has a fairly quick tempo and still packs a lot of punch all the way through. There's a couple of gnarly spiralling solos, and the vocal melody is very simple but striking. I love it.

See it's super dissapointing because supposedly, after C2B3, his next project was going to be getting the original Primus back together for at least 2 more albums and a world tour, but that didn't happened. Instead he made an album that sounds like the worst of his shitty childish side. It is just bass wankery and "whacky" instruments. He is trying to be avant garde. This is not a thing you do.

Speaking of which, who's excited about the upcoming Estradasphere album?

DID I DO IT RIGHT GUYS? HUH?


I don't "get" Merzbow, by which I mean I can't listen to Merzbow without my brain informing me through exponentially increasing waves of pain that it really can't take much more of this shit. If I wanted to listen to horrible feedback I'd smash my guitar amp with a hammer and poke its innards with a fork.

Angtoria - God has a plan for us all.

This is Sarah Jezebel Deva's band (you know ... that BIG lady that sings behind Cradle Of Filth (and a whole host of other bands)). Since I'm a CoF junky, let's face the ugly truth, I had to have this too. And I like it. Nothing like CoF, far more Gothicky. I'd recommend it to you if you like goticky things with a bunch of keyboards and some orchestral stuff thrown in. It works.

Plus, I was sort afraid that if I didn't buy it the frontlady of the band would come and beat me up.


She also shared lead soprano with Martina Hornbacher on Therion's Vovin, which is one of my favorite albums, she has a great voice.

About heroin, apparently. I don't do heroin. But I like the song, because it masks heroin dependency as a relationship dependency, and I dig that. Also, Trainspotting is an awesome film, and Lou Reed was hot for someone who's a bit of a transvestite. A bit like Billy Joe Armstrong, except an artist.

Wowsome song, especially the bit where he just repeats 'child stars' over and over and over again. And over.

Cradle of Filth - All Hope in Eclipse

The only band I turn my audioscrobbler plugin off for, because every couple of months I just have to binge.

Gods this band is so fun! I still know the words to every single song they ever did before Damnation and a Day, which is when they got boring. I totally wish they were obscure so I could enjoy them as guilt-free pseudo-bm cheese, like I enjoy Cryptic Wintermoon and Illnath.

I just love Dani's approach to lyrics writing.

"A thousand nights once succoured Me
In the shadow of Miss Anne Thropy
Sat gargoyle-limbed amid My licking flame

A cruel tongue at work in Her secret vaults
Sent Rebellion's embers into revolt
The comming of extinction
Synched to whimpers of my name...

Legion I arose, a flood of inhumanity
An acid reign to purify the world
The Asp at Pharaoh's breast
The Atom split under duress
A sniper at the gates of spattered pearl

My heart, torn apart, left a rifled grave...
Save for an unfurled flag of hate
To enthral a mindless zombie race!"

Letting this kind of shit loose on impressionable young teens is the lyrical equivalent of killing an ant with a Bren gun.

Cradle of Filth - Death Magick For Adepts

Yeah, Mis, the way I look at it is, there's nothing actually wrong with (old) Cradle of Filth, it's just that everyone comes at it from the wrong angle. Their crappy fans put a damnable light on them. They're not meant to be serious. I like to use a horror movie analogy. If something like Judas Iscariot or Xasthur or Horna is Suspiria or Last House on the Left or Zombi or Evil Dead or something, then Cradle of Filth is like, Hammer Horror, or maybe even Troma. It's just fun! Of course it's not black metal, it's camp, it's a joke, it's a lark.

I just turn the plug-in off because I've already got plenty of other embarrasing shit on my last.fm profile. Hell, Cradle themselves are at about  200.

Yeah. I totally agree, CoF should be taken as a joke. It makes listening to them so much better. The problam is their fans that take CoF and Themselfs way too seriously. And thus making me feel guilty every time I listen to CoF and crack a smile.
But to tell you the truth? I miss the old-school 17-18 year old goths that writes shitty poetry, likes CoF and claim that they're Wicca (you know, back when there were much less of them, and that most of them realised that goth should be taken more lightly). It was so much better then today's Emo.

You mean me three years ago?

Yeah, I know what you mean. I know exactly what you fucking mean. It struck me whilst I was on my binge earlier that hardly anyone actually likes Cradle of Filth any more. Like, their fanbase actually evaporated over a year. All the younger kids are into immeasurably worse shit, even compared to Cradles newer, blander efforts. I remember when I was looking up the ridiculous long words from Cradle in a dictionary, and writing my own risible imitations of Cradle lyrics, and spending most of my time improving my make-up and reading anything with vampires in it. Yeah, people make fun of teenygoths, but they are so, so, so much better than emos. Besides which, sometimes they turn into real goths, like, well, me I suppose. I don't claim to be a goth, but you get caught in the old bind from Life of Brian*: real goths are never supposed to call themselves goth. I'm certainly the gothest person I know in meatspace under the age of 25.

Anyway, I'm currently drinking strong black coffee to the tune of:

Nah, Nymphetamine is the biggest heap of commercialised whatsit ever. And yes, it is possible for them to get more commercial. Nymphetamine plays to every trend that was current in metal at the time: radio friendly symphonic metal single, two guitarists, toned down lyrics, even some very metalcorey riffs in places. I found it dissapointing and unamusing.

Sol Invictus - The Silver Swan

"The Silver Swan, who living had no note,
When death approached, unlocked her silent throat.
She leant her breast, against the leeward shore,
She sung her first and last, and then she sang no more."

German prog from 1975, and boy, does it show. This record has basically everything you'd expect it to: analogue synths, extended instrumental passages and an almost disco feel to it at points. Not that a little retro is necessarily a bad thing, hehe.

Overall, I'm quite liking the album, on the whole.

It's just sad when you go to a concert and see loads of idiot emo kids. The only concert I was at this year that had a relatively low number of emos and other retards was Opeth's concert in April. There were only a few dozens, out of the 1000+ people that showed up.

Opeth skipped Morningrise when I saw them earlier this year, they mostly ran through half the new album and resurrected some lesser-played tracks from earlier albums; one off of their debut I'd never heard, a couple from still life, a couple from Damnation, etc.  Incredible show (no Opeth is bad Opeth), but my favorites were noticably absent.  I dunno how much their set has changed, though.

Ween are insane. In a good way, but they're completely batshit loco. And Chocolate & Cheese is probably one of the best albums to prove this theory.
Oh, and they're also excellent songwriters.

Sufjan Stevens - Pittsfield

Just got "The Avalance: Outtakes and Extras from the Illinois Album" today.
This song is absolutely AMAZING. I love this album. It's got three different versions of "Chicago" and each one is somehow masterfully different and distinct from the next. Great album. Buy it when you can.

Elliott Smith- Pretty (Ugly Before)

Such a pretty song, that's the easiest way to put it. From a basement... was easily his best orchestrated album (even though it had alot of not-so memorable songs for me) it's just an album I can listen to and get goosebumps, and this is one of my favorite songs from it.

The Smashing Pumpkins- Stand inside your love.

It's that little song for the sappy little romantic inside you.  I knew this girl once, I think she's gone now, but sometime's you never really know.  This song has this habit of making me think about her.  It's kind of sad really but in a way it could have been worse.  I mean, I knew her and that has to count for something.  I really need to start sleeping more, not sleeping isn't doing me any favors in the department of emotional control.  

On a higher note, their planning another album.  They haven't set a release date yet, but it seems that they decided to start recording this summer.  So I'll be looking forward to it.

Songs I've played the most according to iTunes:

**All of the bands mentioned here can be found in Wikipedia, if you want more information.  You just have to tag (band) onto the end of Bauhaus and Sol Invictus.  I'm not a music reviewer, so I just ask that, if you want, download the songs below (there's a link at the bottom), and keep an open mind.**

Of the Wand and the Moon: In a Robe of Fire
In a robe of fire - so arcane
Fierce and beautiful - in solstice reign
Lost in winters weave - in woods so cold
This world have lost its soul - don't you know, don't you know
Unleash the winds - and bought in awe
When the twilight falls - upon us all
In a robe of fire - so arcane
My black flamed sun - my six fold flame


Of the wand is a danish neo-folk artist who works with several others to create his music.  In a Robe of Fire is off their fourth album.  It's very mellow, with the sound of flames crackling in the back.  Heavy on the stringed instruments.  Kim Larsen has a very deep, calming voice.

Bahaus:  Who Killed Mr. Moonlight
Consider the green lakes
And the idiocy of clocks.
Someone shot nostalgia in the back
Someone shot our innocence
And all our colours have run.


Peter Murphy is a god.  Pure and simple.  His voice, the music they put together with the lyrics.  The song starts out with very simple piano, and then adds a lone sax.  Very minor in tone, but lovely nonetheless.

Sol Invictus: In Days to Come
And in the days, oh, to come
The sound of iron and the sound of drums
And in the days, oh, to come
The earth shall see, and the clouds will bleed
And in the days, oh, to come
Will we drown in a sea of scum?
And in the days, oh, to come
A man spews out a bastard sun.


Sol Invictus is a militant neofolk band from England.  It is fronted by Tony Wakeford, who broke off from a different neofolk band, Death in June (also on my playlist) to study, and then he got back into music and formed this band.  The story of the name can be found in Wikipedia.

The song is, as should be expected from a militant band, very measured.  It holds the same background througout the verse, a steady beat of drums with quitar.  The chorus is accompanied by a lighter string and guitar.  His voice isn't all that wonderful, but the song is nice enough.


Obviously, I'm stuck on a neofolk/neo classical phase with a little bit of gothic rock thrown in there.  What can I say?  I'm under a lot of stress, and it relaxes me.

So I was going to upload these songs for you, but the Bauhaus one won't upload, so instead you get the other two, and my favorite Death in June song.

The only Current 93 song i have is Sadness song....and his voice and mannerism in that just reminds me of storytime at the local library.  Just the random ephasis on words and the sugary-sweet tone that he uses rubs me wrong.

This album really does sound like it could be the soundtrack to the musical Brecht and Kurt Weil would write if Weil was reincarnated as an lesbian folksinger from Estonia who recently emigrated to Marin County, and Brecht as a vicious show-tune queen from New York who’s just been dumped by his lover of 40 years who ran away to Sedona with a 19-year old Italian model named Carlo.

I'm currently heavily getting into Blood Axis. Also, Ostara, Die Natalis, Darkwood, Forseti, The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath a Cloud, Fire+Ice, Hekate and Argine, all to lesser or greater extents. I need more Gae Bolg and Changes, but the shit is hard to get.

In a Robe of Fire is my favourite :Of The Wand And The Moon: song as well, followed closely by Here's to Misery off the same album. Have you heard the alternate version from the I Crave For You EP? It's quite different, but quite nice, with a more standard DI6 style guitar backing. Am I the only person who thinks that :Of The Wand And The Moon: is pretty blatant Rose Clouds of Holocaust-era DI6 worship btw?

And thanks for reminding me I still need to get hold of In The Rain.

Yeah, you've wandered into a nest of half-crazed neo-folk enthusiasts here son. Stay, we have crumpets.

Blood Axis - Reign I Forever (Gospel of Inhumanity version)

This is a fucking powerful track. I love the hopeless imagery of eternal war:

"Force rules the world still
Has ruled it, shall rule it;
Meekness is weakness
Strength is triumphant
Over the whole earth

Still is it Thor's-Day!

I am the God Thor
I am the War God
Here in my Northlands
My fastness and fortress

Reign I forever!
Reign I forever!
Reign I forever!
Forlorn forever..."

I've been feverishly drawing something off this for the past couple of days. Would be finished now but I'm out of yellow and black ink, and nearly out of red.

Gives you some idea what I'm cooking up, lol.

Also, it's fucking killing me, what's the name of the piece of music that Reign I forever samples? I know I have it on vinyl somewhere, but I can't remember what it's fucking called...I thought it might be Mars from the Planets but I'm pretty sure it's not.

Also, asked friend who got me into the genre your question.  His answer:  Reign I Forever is based on the 'Montagues and Capulets' theme from Act 1 of Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.

Area - With Louise

This is not the 70's Italian progressive rock/fusion/avant-garde band of the same name that we all know and love, but an 90's Illinois band who I guess I would classify as dream pop, at least from this song. Sounds strongly influenced by the Cocteau Twins, but less overtly trippy, and with a guitar chord progression straight out of a 50's ballad for a chorus.

Well that's where the pseudo-musical part comes in.
I don't play an instrument(yeah I know I am going about it all wrong...), so I just bang on everything within reach. My equipment consists of my computer and a shoddy headset. Right now I manipulate all sorts of sounds in Audacity, which is a rather simplistic program.
It is quite rough and amateurish for now but everything has to start somewhere. I figure if I want anything worthwhile I should move on to more advanced programs like Fruity Loops or something.

I'd suggest you try AudioMulch (http://www.audiomulch.com/). I think its probably one of the best electronic music software out there. It has pretty much all you need, but working with other softwares together with it would probably be best.
Audacity is a great sofware too. Combining to two would probably be awsome.

There is no such thing as under-diluted lemonade.  Poorly proportioned, perhaps, but more lemon flavor is almost invariably better.

On the electronic music software note, I find Rebirth (http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/) to be tremendously entertaining.  The sequencer blows (I much prefer the FruityLoops one, which is bumpin'), but the sound will make any acid fan wet his pants.

Add N to {x} - The Sound of Accelerating Concrete

Just picked up the album "On The Wires Of Our Nerves" for dirt cheap (yaay used at Rasputin) and I'm damn impressed.  Add N to
  • sounds a lot cooler when they're rocking out and doing awesome experimental Moog-dickery instead of electroclash-with-vocoders.  Not that the latter would *necessarily* be a bad idea.  But nontheless.  Twisted and atmospheric electronic seen through the sepia-tone of vintage synthesizers.
Sounds like this may be worth checking out. I own "avant hard" & "loud like nature"-i like them, but would much prefer the vintage synth dickery lol. I'm listening to


Xiu Xiu-I luv the valley, oh


I have to admit I wasn't fond of xiu xiu at first listen, but after hearing this, I was sold.....probably one of the darkest songs of the human condition, in which jamie stewart reveals he will only rest when he is dead, yet knows he could never bring himself to commit suicide. the vocals are so visceral, as is his declaration of love for misery & depression as means of escape from dealing with tragedy. Not exactly easy listening, but sometimes we need to be reminded that life doesn't always work itself out to a perfect resolution.

The Top Hat Carriers -  Live in Beit Shemesh
One of my favorite Israeli rock bands. Realesed one album and a "collection" CD with bootlags and different versions of songs. Too bad nobody knows them, I used to listen to them all the time last year, and me and two good friends of mine would allways make references to them and nobody would get us. We have a sad highschool.
Actually, this is'nt a live song. Its just called Live in Beit Shemesh. It had the most insane video clip ever.

Yep I have cut, given it a lot of reverb/echo and extented the wail at the end. It sounds kind of cool if you ask me, probably immensely illegal.

Uh, I'm listening to "The Art of a Soft Landing" by Antimatter.

This song is like a blanket of Zen tranquility wrapped around an emocore hand grenade.  It starts out so innocuously, massaging your earballs with rose-scented baby oil, and then right at the end -- poof -- drops you off a cliff into a pit of gothy, distorted power chords.  Top it off with a bit of primal screaming, and you have yourself a genuwhine angsty testament to -- whoops, wait ... the power chords are gone, and now we fade out with a NIN-style piano arpeggio ...

It sounds like I don't like this song.  That's just my mood talking -- the fact is, I LOVE this song, and almost everything else on their Lights Out album.  But it's like 3:36 in the morning, and I'm cranky from insomnia.

Wait till I talk about Assemblage 23 or Android Lust.  I love those guys, but they REALLY piss me off sometimes.  Ah, the love-hate relationship between artist and know-it-all fanboy.

I have difficulty making my mind up about Pink.  While she has a great voice and has the ability to jump between genres and deliver a wide variety of music, I tend to feel that she specifically writes music to be popular.  Especially in the new album, all of the choruses are predictably catchy and cookie-cutter pop.  However, there are some great moments, such as the beginnings of Fingers and U & Ur Hand, which could almost be compared to Peaches

Ah! Thanks for that, i hadnt heard it and i'm glad i have now. Now im not sure where to organise it to ... Neither Maiden nor Dream theatre .. I guess it goes in the big 'mixed artists' folder that i tend not to listen to due to its invariance lol.
..I dont know why (maybe hannelore does >_< ) But i HAVE to have a very nicely organised folder system ... It stems from becoming too used to aligning my C++ code...Its such a messy language that i dont dare to think how long i spend cleaning and judging the cleanliness of code. But i just have to do it .. And now i have to do it with everything *aligns pieces of paper parallel to walls*.


Listening to Megadeth - Mechanix (2002 version).
...I've a friend who insists Megadeth are better than Metallica because the great (early) years of Metallica were the growth of Mustains influence while in the band ,using The four Horseman from their first album (a down-tempo'd version of Mechanix with a soft bit added in the middle and the words changed) as his example lol.

Vintersorg sings in Borknagar - not Arcturus, the new Arcturus Vocalist is Simen Hestanes, from Dimmu Borgir.

Garm left after the Sham Mirrors (my favorite Arcturus album). He does guest vocals on Ishahn's album "The Advesary" which came out about 2 months ago,  I'm trying to track down a copy at the moment. From all accounts I've heard its an excellent cd.

Yeah ICS Vortex is a psedonynm, it's a play on the name Garm used to use "Fiery G Maelstrom"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simen_Hestn%C3%A6s

Most of the big Norwegian "Prog" bands are fairly incestous, Ulver, Arcturus, Borknagar, Vintersorg and Spiral Architect have all had members swapping around at some stage, though each of the bands sounds are pretty distinct now.

If I had to pick a favorite it would be hard but at the moment I'd say Vintersorg, as much as I love Ulver, "Visions From The Spiral Generator" and "The Focusing Blur" are damn amazing albums.

Limbonic Art - Deathtrip to A Mirage Asylum.

In Abhorrence Dimentia is a really great album, maybe not quite as good as Moon in the Scorpio but damn close.

Yes, quite good.

Angra - Carolina IV: Prog metal in the power vein, which I generally avoid. I haven't heard a song off of any other album by these guys that I can stand, but this album seems pretty cool, and this song is great.

This sat at the bottom of my pile of CD's on my desk. Now i am kinda sad i waited this long. This is actually some good stuff but i dont think alot of it is making "Main" on my iPod...

There are some nice sounds though, the start of this song sounds kind of like the Theme for James Bond: The World is Not Enough

This album is just so fun. Balkin style gypsy music backing a singer that could easily be crooning in Vegas.

While the album gets a little repetitive it is still well worth a couple of listens.

Aside from being just a kickass song, and having that quintessential 80s bass synth dundun-dundun rhythm that gets me oh so hot, it has a really good bridge figure that the first time you hear the song just blasts out of nowhere and makes you go "ooer" or something similarly endowed with vowels.

Try to pick up a couple of samplers. You can find easily find some great comilations.
A couple of names that I can think of right now; Muddy Waters, Lightning Hopkins, John Lee Hooker (early recordings), Ronnie Earl (great too), Jimi Hendrix (controversial yes but...), The Black Keys ( their label 'Fat Possum records' has an impeccable reputation by the way) and of course Robert Johnson.

OT

John Hiatt.

He's not cool or hip but I've got a soft spot for him. He's just a great songwriter, a great singer and a fantastic guitar player.

Though I remember you laughing at it toward the beginning of the Forced Listening Thread, you should probably try out Ancient Rites if you're really getting in to Hammerheart. I suggest Dim Carcosa, maybe my number one album of all time.

I'm currently on a little nostalgia trip, so it's

Marilyn Manson - Cake and Sodomy

"Red-neck-burn-out-mid-west-mind, "who said date rape isn't kind?"
Porno-nation, evaluation
What's this, "time for segregation"?
Libido, libido fascination, too much oral defecation...
White trash get down on your knees, time for cake and sodomy!"

Right now, I'm listening to Destroyer's Your Blues. The only misstep on the album is the ugly trumpety synth at the end of Notorious Lightning ("...until someone goes free"), but the rest of the song, as well as the entire album is so breathtaking that I'm just going to forget about it.

I used to hate synths. I feel stupid now.

Orbital, live at Glastonbury, doing the Doctor Who Techno Theme.

amazing. I saw this once, and the fact that the tune is so closely linked with my childhood just made it even more amazing. chills down my spine and dancing like a loon. linking being terrified as a child behind the sofa to being so happy and uplifted dancing with my friends.

it uses some cool dialogue samples from the classic series too:

"These? Instruments. These are for controlling our flight."
"Flight?"
"Yes, you see we travel around in here through time and space!"
"Ha ha!"
"Oh no no no! Don't laugh, it's true."

I am listening to "Sing a Song of Song" by the C-Sus Jazz Singers.

http://s11.quicksharing.com/v/2997305/01_Sing_a_Song_of_Song.mp3.html

It is, IMO, what modern Jazz is MADE of. This version was re-composed from an old instrumental jazz bit by Kerry Marsh for a 6+ part vocal group. What makes the song so amazing for any jazz musician (vocal or instrumental) isn't the "chorus," (which is pretty simple and repeats just enough to be effective instead of annoying), but that is gives a musician so much room to just take the song and run with it. The song is as complex, basic, bright, moody, etc. etc. as the artist wants. You can always recognize the song when you hear it played/sung by different musicians, but it will never sounds the same.

This version just happens to be ridiculously complex as far as vocal jazz goes...There's just so much depth to it. Note : Listen particularly intently at the 4:00 minute mark and/or turn it up. If you can't at least appreciate it, you don't know what music is.
No, seriously.

I'm not really sure how I should feel about this album.  While it is undoubtedly beautiful, the lyrics are a bit cheesy and emo.  However, apparently they are autobiographical, so it's not like it's depressing for the sake of being depressing.

Aren't they krautrockworshippers? I have heard good things about Electrelane. Even Saint Etienne namedrops them on Finisterre, the lines goes: "I believe that music in the long run can straighten out most things. There are too many bands that act lame, sound tame.

GG Allin - Dead Flowers (The Rolling Stones cover)

I have to discussion this, right? It's from his Troubled Troubador EP, which was originally all acoustic stuff, but was rereleased with some of his phone conversations from prison, as well as this live cover. This is probably the only GG Allin album you could sort-of enjoy without buying into the gimmick.

Slint - Good Morning, Captain



so sad.

This is my favourite song right now.

Also, Zaarin, the Able Tasmans were a pretty awesome band, but I think you'll find that the name of the song in question is 'Hold Me 1' not 'Home Me 1'. Even so, great song!
Title: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: Zaarin on 07 Aug 2006, 20:35
Ah, yes, I often thought that calling it "Home Me 1" made no sense. iTunes imported it from the Flying Nun compilation as that, hence my confusion. There's another song of theirs on the CD, "What Was That Thing?", which is also spectacular.

As for what I'm listening to now, it's "Cut Your Hair" by Pavement. I just picked up luxuriant double CD plus booklet Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain: LA's Desert Origins from JB Hi Fi. Not at all bad for $30. I actually also picked up Wire's Pink Flag, Chairs Missing and 154 all in a box together for the same price at the same place. Delicious.

Anyway, I've never really listened to great deal of Pavement before, and I'm enjoying it so far. I'm glad I picked it up, and I'm going to go for that deluxe Slanted and Enchanted next time I'm at the mall.

Queensrÿche - Anarchy X.

Great beginning for one of the best concept albums ever. If you turn it up load enough you can catch fragments of Dr X's speach, which is pretty cool.

A friend of mine used to have a Operation Mindcrime cartoon thing on video, not sure if it was done by the band or somebody else but it was damn cool.

I really couldn't blame you. FLA is, moreso than most bands, not for everyone. In fact, I've really yet to find someone who likes their entire catalogue. Everyone seems to have a favorite era for them - their earlier stuff is better, in my opinion.

That said, remixes and covers of their stuff seem to generally be more acessable, to most people.

From what little I've heard, Murderdolls > Wednesday 13, depite my roommate's protests to it being the other way around.

As for current music, I'm switching to the second CD I bought today, now that I've listened to Artificial Soldier a few times and decided that it's not really for me. This is another industrial selection; Cannibal Anthems by :Wumpscut:. And, from what the opening track and the stuff from the EP before this sound like, I'm thrilled with it so far. It seems like he's going back to his previous, more energetic sound - and given the mixed reactions that the last CD got, I think I can see why.

His solo shit has a lot of weak songs, but there's some good stuff. He's better when he sticks to the formula he's long established, with tracks like God is a Lie, Bad Things and Look What The Bats Dragged In. There's also a feeling that he's got a bit more serious on Transylvania 90210, which doesn't fit his musical style or image at all. All of the stuff Wednesday 13's done might as well be the same band though. I personally prefer the Frankenstein Drag Queens From Planet 13: half of the Murderdolls songs actually are just redone FDGFP13 songs. All of it's fun music though.

Talking about it, I'm on a W13 megamix now. The Murderdolls - Dressed to Depress.

Magma - Malawelekaahm

I've heard that this album is also considered a Christian Vander solo album, but it had most of the Magma crew from that period. The album, Wurdah Itah, is the soundtrack to a movie called Tristan et Iseult...if only this were the soundtrack to the more recent version that was made... Anyway, Magma is the founding band of a genre known as Zeuhl, which is a pretty idiosyncratic subgenre of prog-rock, and includes some Magma spinoff bands as well as more recent bands such as Ruins and The Flying Luttenbachers. Of course, the more recent bands have a much more stripped down timbral pallette and are much more concerned with overall violence/wackiness, whereas the original sound is much more heavily orchestrated. Trademarks of the genre include minimalist-derived developmental repetition, compound time signatures, a strong jazz influence (sometimes bordering on free jazz), a strong operatic classical influence (less present in instrumental examples of the genre) and a strong emphasis on bass/drum interplay, sometimes utilizing two bassists.

Post by: Praeserpium Machinarum on 12 Aug 2006, 15:19
I always felt that the song was more sweet and sour, it has humour and he is really more hopeless and sad than angry. For example he asks God to do it because he can't. He is powerless to act, to intervene and he chooses to fantasize instead. I realise that this is not "cool" but what Shellac I have heard is not purely about anger, it is nuanced and that's what makes it great. The way I see it anyway.

I got the re-release of Sebadoh - III. I think it'll be a "grower" since it's not much like their later albums (Harmacy and the like). The bonus disc includes a 11 minute track that's nothing but show introductions.
The album was originally released in the same month as Pavement - Slanted and Enchanted, as well as Nirvana - Nevermind.

So. Fucking. Awesome.

"You are slaves
Underground fashion-victims
Worship your Satan-TV-thing

We don't care about the scene

Each time I humiliate you

Bunch of weaks, prepare for fight
Pray your Satan, need some help

Grendel - "Soilbleed". Live bootleg.

Until now, I didn't realize that, live and without the gasmask on for voice distortion, he really sounds like he's about fifteen years old. Which, as you might imagine, kind of takes the edge of the music. Actually, it kind of adds some much needed humor.

autechre were never meant to be fucked up. if you want some more challenging stuff you could check out their drone collab with the hafler trio, or they have a sideproject called gescom, but they haven't had any releases for a few years. also, i never really liked tri repetae that much, but i guess that's besides the point.

Three cds have been dominating my changer lately.  

Unter Null's The Failure Epiphany - just freaking insane how good this is.  It's rare that harsh ebm or anything that resembles terror ebm has a point or is inventive, but this is.

Psyclon Nine's INRI - for my mad-on moments.  Really intense album and a lot of fun.  They're new one, from what I've heard, called Crwn the Frnicatr, looks to be excellent as well.

Angelspit's Krankhaus - I really didn't care much for their first EP, but this release is excellent.  Angry and funny and really balls out.

To Khar:
If you want to get into FLA, people will tell you to start with Tactical Neural Implant, which many consider to be their classic album(and it is a great one).  I personally think they're doing more diverse things now, more challenging things.  The synth on anything post Millenium is just so dense and layered, often with so many different things going on at once.  They've also incorporated a lot of the sounds found in the side-projects like Delerium, Noise Unit and Conjur One into the mix with these later releases.  The latest is no exception.  Artificial Soldier is very, very good.  Also, if you like your FLA angry, check out Decree.  Another side project, but with more of a harsh, metal-ish bent to it.
Title: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: KharBevNor on 14 Aug 2006, 22:38
I'll take that into mind. Thanks for reminding me I still have to buy Krankhaus btw. I really like Angelspit because they sent me a free copy of their first EP and some badges because I drew them fan art. The flipside was I had to work on promoting them to people I knew, moderately tough as almost none of my friends are the kind of people who would appreciate them.

You know, I'm the only one in my local group of friends who actually thinks Unter Null's any good. That said, I found the album to be quite possibly one of the most rewarding purchases I've made in the past month (the other being Cannibal Anthem).

Current music? Life Cried's "Drawn + Quartered" album. Friend burned me a copy, and I think I need to go out and buy the damn thing now. I am impressed. Then again, most every band on United vol. 1's been great, so far.

In other news, I finally registered. Whee!

Pink Floyd - The Gunner's Dream.
The Final Cut is really a love-it-or-hate-it album. I can see why some would hate it. It is NOT a Pink Floyd album, really. It even said on the original packaging: "The Final Cut, by Roger Waters, performed by Pink Floyd." It uses orchestral music a bit too much, it focuses far more on lyrics than music, and if you don't focus on it the lyrics won't make any sense.
And I love it.

Absolutely beautiful song, The lyrics are amazing:

Beyond this beautiful horizon
Lies a dream for you and I
This tranquil scene is still unbroken by the rumors in the sky
But there's a storm closing in
Voices crying on the wind
This serenade is growing colder breaks my soul that tries to sing
And there's so many, many thoughts
When I try to go to sleep
But with you I start to feel a sort of temporary peace...

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.

Yeah, not sure about this album.  I bought it on the strength of 'Apologies' and the fact I obsessed over both the Dntel and Postal Service albums for at least a year a piece.  But really his singing is a bit awful from time to time, lyrically it can be quite annoying (particularly that opening song about phone texting), and his points of inspiration (Kompakt records style German techno) are a lot more fun than most of this.  IMO.

'Apologies' does rule though.. I love how the rrow rrow bass sound has been growling away through different genres for years and is somehow still not played out... and the simplicity of it compared to some of the other tracks is a real virtue.  In fact I have to listen to it right now!

Kristeen Young - Goddamn You, You Scenesters

I saw her open for Morrisey a couple months ago, and thought she was really interesting to listen to. Anyway, I got home, googled her, misspelt her name "Christine" and found, well... you google Christine Young if you really want to know. Anyway, I was browsing through a.b.sounds.mp3.indie the other day, saw her album "X" for download, guessed it was the same person, and downloaded it. She's not quite as I thought she was going to be, and is slightly more generic punk-band-with-female-lead-singer than I'd excepected, but she's still a frightfully good listen. Plus, her drummer is outrageously gae, which is always a plus.

edit: plus she's 50% Apache, 50% German, 100% hawt.

In the hour when the night falls
Voices from the dark side are calling my name
Slowly fading to the world where I belong
Ebony rising, I close my eyes
Flashing pictures of an old remembrance passing by
On obsidian wings I fly, leave the gates behind
Through the colonnades of eternity
This is the end for me, I'm DYYYYIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGGGGG!"

Post by: KharBevNor on 30 Aug 2006, 23:28
I'd probably listen to them in chronological order. 'The Age of Cataclysm' first, then 'A Coming Storm', then 'Of Shadows...and the Dark Things You Fear'. There's not really much between them overall, but each one has quite a different overall feel to it, despite the fact that they have a very definite style, and quite a narrow lyrical focus (Apocalypse, Medieval Satanism, Death, Mechanised Warfare and combinations thereof). I do enjoy a good bit of the old melodic BM myself, but no-one on quite the same level as these guys. The strange thing about them is that they sound somewhat generic, but not really like anyone else: they have a dash of old-school MDM to them, and an almost impeccable restraint as far as the use of keyboards go (overuse of keyboards and Dani Filth vocals are the two things that most often sink Melodic BM bands). They're also pretty admirable for having a female member and not making her sing.

Actually, speaking of overuse of keyboards and Dani Filth vocals, have you ever heard Illnath?

Illnath - Cast Into Fields of Evil Pleasure

The best description of these guys was provided by a friend of mine "Hey, it's kind of like Cradle of Filth, but it's more guitar driven and doesn't suck balls"

Is there any logical reason why the video for this song is all clips from the pacific theatre of World War Two?

You like the Dulli? Mis, I love you.

I listened to that album this afternoon. That is absolutely the best album I've heard all year.

As for what I'm listening to:
Bob Dylan - Workingman's Blues #2

Wonderful song. Probably the best on the new album. One of the few Dylan songs where the music is as important as the words.

Actually, the only reason I wanted to go to that concert was because Mark Lanegan was going to go on stage with them (he did about 5 songs with the singers last night), so I thought I should listen to the singers before I decide. I got Powder Burns and after I listened to it there was no question about going.

Dulli is a pretty nice guy, I heard that he hung out with some people and even sang the pixis' Wave of Mutiliation with some girl. Lanegan looked like he was going to kill himself after the show.

Wäldchengarten - Distractions

Maybe I am not as hardcore as I thought. I start singing when I am listening to this. I am not as much bored as I am utterly creeped out by their barren soundscapes of electricity, it sounds so alien and inhuman.

Just downloaded the free stuff on their site, cos this sounded up my alley.  Listening to their live set, pretty devastating.  Surprised it's all electronic - I mean, there's very little harmonic action to speak of, but I had the image of guitars being shaken and amps rattling and stuff...

As far I know one of them is a guitarist and they do use manipulated squeals and wails from guitars. Once in an interview one of them explained that the best use a guitar he had owned for 8 years ever served was when he drilled a hole in it and recorded the sounds.

Sounds like fun, I was into doing that kind of thing for a while - a friend and I had a kind of bedroom noise project going when we were teens.  Well, project sounds too organised, we were just kids making noises - classic noise cliches like tapes of ranting preachers, Eastern European singing, mixed up with making noises by doing stuff like pointing remote controls at guitar pick ups, sticking rulers between the strings and slapping them, etc.

Actually, I do agree here, but I would suggest starting with Bringing It All Back Home. Not only is it one of his finest works, but it's split in half between his acoustic music and his electric music, so you get to see both sides of him and decide which side (or maybe both) are for you.

Nico - Das Lied Der Deutschen

Nicos solo stuff is great, and highly respected in certain circles. I've got an issue of Zero Tolerance, for example, which has a three page spread on her lifes work. The same issue had a quickfire interview with Geezer Butler someone had done in a pub, a huge article on Der Bluthsarch, a report on one of their correspondents who'd pursuaded Sepultura to go to a Soulfly gig with him, and an interview with the director of Legalize Murder. Awesome mag.

I'm currently listening to Earl Haggard - Okie From Muskogee, because I'm trying to write a parody of it, though I am not convinced it isn't already at least half in jest itself, especially given one of the other tracks on the album appears to be about doing rails of coke.

No. I mean, 'Black Sabbath' by 'Black Sabbath' is pretty much an intro track for the entire genre, as in it's the first song on the first truly metal album and musically and thematically, it fits the bill. The opening riff has been described as the sound of the gates of hell opening.

I mean, other genres have theme songs, but not like this, and not genres this big.

Portishead - Mysterons

I was pretty much musically ignorant in the 90's so I never listened to triphop when it was fashionable to do so.
That means that I am still enarmoured with Beth Gibbons and Martina Topley-Bird.

I have a slight case of musical ADD today, so I've been bouncing back and forth between Gnarls Barkley's "St. Elsewhere," Refused's "Shape Of Punk To Come" and Slayer's "Christ Illusion."

This combination may or may not require immediate medical attention tonight, I haven't been able to tell.

Lawrence Arms - "The Greatest Story Ever Told".

It's a sort of concept album with a circus theme. I picked it up last week and I've pretty much been listening to it since. One of the few albums that I can listen to all the way through without wanting to skip a song. I will say that "The Revisionist" is my favorite song off the album.

Listening to dEUS - Via

Got into this band when I was staying in a hostel in Belgium - someone suggested some local music and I gave this band a go.  I don't love all of it, but some songs have stuck through the years.  This song seemed somehow better for, rather than diminished by, the blatant referencing of REM's Low.

Oops, now listening to Atom™'s fucking excellent remix of Emiliana Torrini's Sunny Road.  Classic indie "folk" dullness made awesome by making it sound like an audio stream suffering from drop outs and buffering artefacts in perfect time with the song.  The mix of explicitly digital madness with the acoustic guitar and beatless arrangement is just awesome.

Oops, sorry, I forgot we're not supposed to discuss things... ;)

A new song by Cradle Of Filth. I still love this band. Musically they're very appealing and I find Dani's lyrics and their whole tongue-cheek attitude very refreshing compared to all those bands that take their music sooooo seriously and in their pretention actually forget to write a decent song.

I am listening to the Ditty Bops self-titled. This is some of the funnest music I have ever heard. It is kind of like Jodie Phillis found a treasure chest full of fun, cloned herself and decided to kick out the jams

There are a few generically bland folk-pop songs in there, but there is certainly nothing I would describe as "mediocre", and they are easily outweighed by superp pieces of music like "Ooh La La". The opening guitar riff for that song is freaking SUPERB. Plus, all the vocal lines, even in the one or two songs I am not overly impressed by, are so insanely beautiful sounding that it is hard to stay mad at them. Wait, I wasn't even mad! I was grinning and tapping my feet!

The name does not betray the sheer level of ditty bopping I am doing while listening to their music.

If you are a country western fan of any stripe, you owe it to yourself to listen to Don Walser.  He played and sang in the tradition of old-fashioned shitkickin', dirt raisin', 80 proof ear scorching steel guitar cowboy music.  HHe yodels.  He opened for Buddy Holly before Buddy Holly left Texas.  He didn't release his first album until 1994 when he retired from the national guard at age 60.  He was from Austin, which gave him an unusual following of country music fans, alternative music fans, and punk fans.  He was a funny guy too.

He passed away at the age of 72 last week, from complications of diabetes.

Next I'm gonna listen too Lyle Lovett's If I Had a Boat which is a bit of an anthem to me.

fun lyrics too:
" We'll have to hide 'til no one is around
'cause there ain't no room in the city today
For explanations that you just can't say

John Lennon - Working Class Hero

I love this song so much.

...did Alan Jackson do a cover of that song? 'Cause if it's the same song, I have the Alan Jackson version of it. Speaking of which:

"Midnight in Montgomery" - Alan Jackson

Same album, the song haunts the shit out of me. And one time when he was playing it live in Montgomery (I think it was Montgomery, anyway) the lights all went out. Creepy as all hell.

Moby - Go (Trentemoller Mix)

Original track was released in 1991, making it 15 years old.  Heard in a variety of places over the years.  It always reminds me of the good old days of Trance, back before Guidos killed the scene here in Toronto.  Back when I was young, and I could party till 11am, no problems.  Ah, youth.  *wistful sigh*

Current 93 – Thunder Perfect Mind

C93 is one of those bands who I’ve been aware of for years, but just recently “clicked” for me.  I got TPM a few weeks ago, after being totally blown away by Black Ships Ate the Sky earlier this year.  I’m really digging the whole thing.

Yes, I do like Ben Folds, now shut up about it.
I won't shut up about it, because I also heart Ben Folds.

I am about to sound horrifically out of place.  Due to its mainstream subject matter, what I am about to say will likely get me lynched, if what I've read so far is sufficiently indicative of the local tastes here:

I'm listening to the new BNL album, Barenaked Ladies Are Me.  I'm very fond of it, I even liked it on the first listen, and I rarely like anything the first time I hear it.  It's a very melodic album, much more so than previous collections, and while nothing on the disc strikes me as especially catchy (the disappointing Everything to Everyone had several extremely catchy songs, despite being an overall below average BNL album), something about it just makes it stick to me like moist stuffing.  One thing that I really love about this album is the fact that there isn't a single song on it that I genuinely don't like.  Even Stunt, which is supposed to be their best album, has one or two songs that I usually skip.

Commence lynching.

Burial's self-titled debut. I love, love, love the sounds and where he's coming from with this recording. I'm hoping the next album released by Hyperdub, Kode 9 + Spaceace's "Memories of the Future" at least matches it in the quality department.

This interview (http://blackdownsoundboy.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_blackdownsoundboy_archive.html#114298266029581805) with Burial and Martin Clark (aka Blackdown) is very enlightening about the artist, for those who tried listening to this album before due to Pitchfork's high rating and guses of love, but didn't understand what was going on.

I think I'm gonna listen to some dub mixes next, then go to bed.

Now I'm listening to Rhythm & Sound - With The Artists.

Rhythm & Sound are a German duo who started with making some of the best techno ever as Basic Channel (they even get a mention in LCD Soundsystem's Losing My Edge). Over the years though, their sound got so minimal and spaced out that what they essentially had were dub riddims. On this album they invited deejays (vocalists of the reggae/dub styles) to sing. the collection is excellent.

Killing Joke – “Majestic”

In a total 180 from the conspiratorial paranoia of KJ’s last album, Hosannas from the Basements of Hell is largely uplifting anthems.  On top of a pounding rhythm section and guitar distortion that fills every available frequency range, Jaz exhorts how the secret to happiness is hidden in plain sight:

You cannot tell the people / Though some of us have guessed it
Every day’s a blessing / I feel the best yet…
Majestic!

The first Gorillaz with Dan The Automator, or the second Gorillaz with Danger Mouse?

Tonight, I'm listening to the No New York compilation. My particular copy is a Russian import, as it was reissued by Universal Music Russia. This seems odd to me since most sites are claiming that the only reissue you can currently find is from Japan. It also sucks that the linear notes are completely in Russian, with no English translation. In the meantime though, the music is ridiculously awesome.

Did you download this?  I'm wondering if it's The Breeders' version miss-tagged.

To be honest, I've been listening to me recently!  Soppy shit (http://www.orbitfiles.com/download/id937561137) with a friend singing & playing acoustic.  Vox-wise I hear a bit of Mark Hollis, for my part I guess soppy electronica and a couple of arrangement ideas nicked from the Eternal Sunshine soundtrack.
Title: Re: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: Ernest on 09 Oct 2006, 21:05
It may be the Breeders mistagged.  My friend just burned me a CD with 24 Pixies songs on it, but he may have put a Breeders song on there.  And yeah, he did download them.

And to the other dude who said something to me, I know there are better drummers than Jon Theodore (not many, but there are), but I just love his style.  I wonder if the band will continue with that style now that he's gone.  I listened to their early stuff with Blake Flemming, and the drumming is more straightforward.  That's not necessarily a bad thing, but the style Theodore brought to the band made them unique.  I mean, who could have thought of the beat for Cicatriz ESP?  Seriously.

This is one of those albums that remind me why I love music...the actual songs in and of themselves are already good, but then when you take the whole album, with the story underneath it all, it's just incredible.  I doubt this would be considered literally a "concept album," but I love the fact that the band takes the time to make a cohesive work of art, and not just a random collection of 10-12 songs....

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - The Goat

"There is an old goat at my window-pane,
standing upright in a frock-coat,
somewhat earth-coloured and plain.
He is starring down at me ...
and the place where i have chosen to hide ...
in the futile attempt to dissolve ...
I discovered this cell as a child.

There is a medicine-case, he calls "being",
which the goat carries under his arm.
He says, if i only allow him to enter -
I shall never come come to any harm.
He is giving quite an importance to
his frrightning and urgent concern, he says:
"I have come to be your transformer...
I'm your doctor, half goat and half man."

He says that this house will soon crumble,
and that I am going to suffer as it falls.
He says: "Let me in now and I'll be your savior...
I'm your healer ... whith hooves and horns!" "

Those comps were so exciting at the time, really inspiring shit.  I went back and listened to the first one recently, still got some really good moments.  Kinda looks at dub as a virus / meme rather than as a sound...?  The Bedouin Ascent track is amazing, I reckon.  He was a weird one - writing UK techno stuff in polyrhythmic patterns and non-standard time signatures...  Something fairly confounding about making that kind of music with analogue synths and drum machines.  And that Tricky track is cool - hilarious approch to a remix, must've taken him all of 10 minutes.. that's Alison Goldfrapp on vox, by the way... I was so shocked when she went all electro-clash after doing these beautiful semi-ambient tracks with people like Tricky, Orbital and Plaid.

I've been listening a lot to a free EP by (Nick) Zammuto from The Books, remixed by randoms I've never heard of. I like it, but it's really different from The Books.  Shows off some drum'n'bass influences, even!  Free download from http://www.notype.com

"The Twenty-Five Pounder" - Runrig

Take early Rush but send them to a Highland wedding to learn how to play that style of music on each of their respective instruments. Then add a set of bagpipes and a mandolin on top of that. Pretty soon, you are going to get this song.

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - The Curse Of Millhaven.

You must have heard about the curse of Millhaven,
How last Christmas, Bill Blakey's little boy didn't come home:
They found him the next week up in One Mile Creek,
With his head bashed in and his pockets full of stones,


From the Murder Ballads album, the song is sung from the point of view of a fourteen-year old girl named Loretta (but she prefers Lottie), who lives in Millhaven, a town plagued by a rash of murders and butchery. If you ever wanted a concrete example of the sheer macabre brilliance of Nick Cave's lyricism, this is it. A straightforward chord line that is tweaked maniacally back and forth and an eerie moaning organ underly an increasingly horrifying torrent of verses. Strongly, strongly recommended.

Its based on a Peter Straub short story. Every time i see a Peter Straub book I look for the story, but I can't find it. Perhaps the info I have is wrong.
I love that song. Its the first Nick Cave song i ever heard and its why I'm into him. Never saw him do it live though.

Found this by typing "curse millhaven straub" into google:

Heaps of info about use of specific stories in several songs, Straub and Cave's comments, etc.



And I'm listening to The Soft Pink Truth's 'Gender Studies'.  This particular track is a bit lame, I think.. chops up male R&B and hip-hop vocalists to make them say / sing things like "Take me, rape me, young girl" and "I wish I was a lady"

Faithless - One Step Too Far (feat. Dido)

The song begins slowly, with an airy synth line throbbing underneath Dido's ethereal and oh-so-slightly vocoded vocals. She crescendos, and suddenly the synth drops away into a pumping bass-line. The song vibrates and pulsates along, pulling us with it. Maxi-Jazz joins in for a verse and contributes to the chorus, and the song slowly dies away over the course of minutes. Very chilled out, very pleasant. Highly recommended if you like smooth, ambient electronica.

If the Sun or the Moon should give way to doubt,
They would immediately go out,
One swallow don't make a summer,
But tomorrow has to start somewhere...

Faithless were actually one of the bands that got me addicted to music. I went to see them last year and they kicked so much ass. I think I danced more then the people who were on Acid in that concert, somthing like 90% of the people there I believe.

"Mass Destruction" by Faithless is what turned me on to electronic-type music. It's really a stretch to relate the two, but it's got me listening to Kool Keith and his various partners and pseudonyms. I haven't got very far into any synth'd and sampled genres other than hip-hop, but I'm working on getting Geogaddi by Boards of Canada as we speak. <3 BitTorrent.

"Hole In The World" - The Eagles

Into Eternity - Out

I got their new album a few days ago from Amazon. It's very good, but I think I like Buried in Oblivion a bit better. The leads are a little less wanky, but the riffing isn't as strong. As far as the new lineup goes: the drumming is better, and their new vocalist still does the alternating clean/death vocal style as the last one, but he does the melodic clean singing a little better so it seems like they took the songwriting more in that direction. The guy has better range too; he hits almost Halford-level notes sometimes.

But overall, definitely worth picking up.

Those comps were so exciting at the time, really inspiring shit.? I went back and listened to the first one recently, still got some really good moments.? Kinda looks at dub as a virus / meme rather than as a sound...?? The Bedouin Ascent track is amazing, I reckon.? He was a weird one - writing UK techno stuff in polyrhythmic patterns and non-standard time signatures...? Something fairly confounding about making that kind of music with analogue synths and drum machines.? And that Tricky track is cool - hilarious approch to a remix, must've taken him all of 10 minutes.. that's Alison Goldfrapp on vox, by the way... I was so shocked when she went all electro-clash after doing these beautiful semi-ambient tracks with people like Tricky, Orbital and Plaid.
I love Vol. 2 of that series, too.? As far as Goldfrapp goes, I enjoyed her first, trip-hoppier album more than the subsequent dancier stuff.

Now playing: NEU! "Hallogallo." In which our heros, Michael and Klaus, play post-punk, forgetting that the invention of punk should be a prerequisite thereof.

Yeah, the Batman soundtrack is pretty awful, but I think the opener, The Future is pretty decent.

Listening to Mapstation again.  There's an MP3 here (http://www.mapstation.de/specials.php) that is pretty indicative.  So quiet and static.  Sounds quite bizarre when you mix this beatless arpeggiating with reggae vocalists, as he's done from time to time.  The best tracks have a little more going on, often some thumb piano or a bit of Schneider high (and therefore melodic sounding) bass guitar lines.

Boyd Rice & Giddle Partridge - Bonnie and Clyde

I am literally addicted to this song.

http://www.myspace.com/riceandpartridge

Brilliant. 
It's not bad, but the thing I find weird about this was that they've clearly just sampled and looped the bits of the original music they needed and then re-done the vocal on top.  I think on Warm Leatherette they've remade the music, but it's reeeeeeeeeeeeeally faithful.

It is interesting to find out what the hell Bonnie and Clyde's lyrics mean in English... although I wonder how faithful the lyrics are to the French?  Do you know if any eager World Serpent afficionados have looked into it?

The first time I heard the Bonnie and Clyde music was as sampled by MC Solaar.  Then there was a really faithful (you could say, redundant) cover with Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab doing the Brigitte's part... from memory it's on their second album, but it was a "hidden track" (meh).  Anyway, I heard the Luna cover before I heard the Gainsbourg & Bardot version, so I originally thought Luna and Stereolab had decided to make a French pop song from a French hip-hop track.  :oops:  Very confused.  Fascinating, I know.   :-P

I've never heard the original (Actually, I had no idea it was a cover), but I presume they were quite faithful to the french, as it's basically a poem by Bonnie Parker that's been translated into French and they have then translated back into English, and probably edited a bit along the way:

The Trails End, by Bonnie Parker

You've read the story of Jesse James
of how he lived and died.
If you're still in need;
of something to read,
here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde.

Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang
I'm sure you all have read.
how they rob and steal;
and those who squeal,
are usually found dying or dead.

There's lots of untruths to these write-ups;
they're not as ruthless as that.
their nature is raw;
they hate all the law,
the stool pidgeons, spotters and rats.

They call them cold-blooded killers
they say they are heartless and mean.
But I say this with pride
that I once knew Clyde,
when he was honest and upright and clean.

But the law fooled around;
kept taking him down,
and locking him up in a cell.
Till he said to me;
"I'll never be free,
so I'll meet a few of them in hell"

The road was so dimly lighted
there were no highway signs to guide.
But they made up their minds;
if all roads were blind,
they wouldn't give up till they died.

The road gets dimmer and dimmer
sometimes you can hardly see.
But it's fight man to man
and do all you can,
for they know they can never be free.

From heart-break some people have suffered
from weariness some people have died.
But take it all in all;
our troubles are small,
till we get like Bonnie and Clyde.

If a policeman is killed in Dallas
and they have no clue or guide.
If they can't find a fiend,
they just wipe their slate clean
and hang it on Bonnie and Clyde.

There's two crimes committed in America
not accredited to the Barrow mob.
They had no hand;
in the kidnap demand,
nor the Kansas City Depot job.

A newsboy once said to his buddy;
"I wish old Clyde would get jumped.
In these awfull hard times;
we'd make a few dimes,
if five or six cops would get bumped"

The police haven't got the report yet
but Clyde called me up today.
He said,"Don't start any fights;
we aren't working nights,
we're joining the NRA."

From Irving to West Dallas viaduct
is known as the Great Divide.
Where the women are kin;
and the men are men,
and they won't "stool" on Bonnie and Clyde.

If they try to act like citizens
and rent them a nice little flat.
About the third night;
they're invited to fight,
by a sub-gun's rat-tat-tat.

They don't think they're too smart or desperate
they know that the law always wins.
They've been shot at before;
but they do not ignore,
that death is the wages of sin.

Some day they'll go down together
they'll bury them side by side.
To few it'll be grief,
to the law a relief
but it's death for Bonnie and Clyde.

The Mars Volta "Day of the Baphomets". "Amputechture" has really grown on me. At first, I didn't get it but after listening a couple of times... you know the story. I seem to be the only one who thinks it is their best work yet.

I love the drum solo in that track.

It's a good record, Just doesn't have the same flow to it that Deloused does. I think the last track really lets it down. 

Tetragrammaton is a kick arse song. One of the best they've done

I haven't heard anything by The Mars Volta either. Ever.


Now, I'm listening to The Psychedelic Furs - President Gas. I love the Furs and I love the song. It's scary to think that the song is still applicable today.

Orthrelm - Ov

just incredible freaky, awesome fast intense repetition of guitar riffs

live video here: http://www.millionraces.com/orthrelm.htm

some review says: nothing can prepare the listener for the all-out minimalistic assault that is OV. Over the course of its single 45-minute track, tiny riffs are repeated over and over for minutes at a time, everything moving at hyperspeed, with no rest and no break from the intensity. The first major change in theme doesn't happen until eighteen minutes into the composition, and that change is actually a ramping up of intensity rather than a break in it! Not until twenty-two minutes in do things slow down, but only for a minute or two before picking up again. In the second half, themes change with more frequency, building inexorably to what one might expect to be a spectacular conclusion, but which instead is just an abrupt stop. In the end, though, this inconclusiveness is compelling ? consistent with the circular, repetitive aesthetic of the piece

ATDI is ok, I used to enjoy them when I was in high school but there stuff hasn't aged well for me at all. I used to love Realtionship of Command, I can't stand it these days.

Mars Volta are so much better though, I don't know where to start.

The thing that struck me when I heard them was the huge 70's prog influence it had running through the sound. It was like someone had taken King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Yes and modernized them. Cedric's vocal delivery is much more restained and about 10* more enjoyable. ?They are really awesome live as well one of the best bands I've seen, if not the best.

Destroyer - Rubies (from Destroyer's Rubies)

I've got plenty of time to write about this one before iTunes changes to the next track; about eight minutes, in fact. Probably won't use it all though. :wink:

I listened to this album for a while without really being able to make any sense of it, and then all of a sudden in the course of one listen it was like every hook on the album (and there are a lot of them) finally penetrated my consciousness. So basically I just convulsed like a gangster being riddled with bullets from a tommy gun for fifty or so minutes.

That was a few weeks ago, but Destroyer's Rubies has proven to have impressive staying power; I still want to listen to it pretty much every day and I have to force myself to try new stuff instead. It's a great, great album.

The song that got me into Explosions in the Sky.  I can't really understand why so many people are in love with Your Hand in Mine, because all the other songs on The Earth is Not A Cold Dead Place are so much better.  Also: new EITS album in February!  And they will tour the Midwest finally, so that means I will be attending their Minnesota concert!

Joy Division - Transmission

Well, let me clarify. Compared to most of the stuff I listen to, BDM are fucked up and brutal. It's probably the heaviest band I listen to, even though they sound like child's play compared to, say Cattle Decapitation or something.

So, no they're not fucked up and brutal to someone who listens to a lot of extremely extreme metal, but to me, they are.

Also, I'm not exactly an expert on BM of any kind, and I've seen them described as alot of things but not BM, but that being said, to me, they are.

Blast beats? Check
Heaps of Tremolo guitar riffing? Check
Raspy higher pitched screams? Check

According to Wikipedia, they're Melodic Death Metal or Metalcore, but to mine ears they exhibit none or barely any of the marks of those genres, and are basically just labeled as such because they're a metal band who has emerged from Massachusetts in the past 5 years.

Ok here's a section from the BM FAQ http://www.blackmetal.co.uk/ForumsPro/viewtopic/t=3967.html (sorry its in a forum post, I read the intial thing years ago, probably the best written explanation of what BM is I've ever read, original website seems to be down now) maybe that will help explain things too you.)

Quote
Why is it called "black" metal?

All musical art is ideally the sum of its parts--inspiration, writing, and instrumentation--which all clearly reflect a certain intent (mindset, ideology, worldview, vision, whatever you'd like to call it) of the artist at work. With that in mind, black metal is designed with a single artistic purpose, a purpose that can flesh itself out in a fairly wide variety of ways: the opposition of Judeo-Christian ideology and its influences on society. Therefore, the "black" in "black metal" refers to the blasphemous, offensive, profane, or extreme ideological and musical tools that the bands utilize to make their points known. It refers to the negativity of the artform: black metal is negative art because it displays the innate tragedies of reality, the inevitability of death, or the perceived ugliness of the Christian world in a way so that the listener gains some catharsis from the music. Additionally, black metal doesn't simply blaspheme; to succeed, it must simultaneously append its own solution (i.e. black metal doesn't just attack Judeo-Christianity... it overthrows it.) Some prominent themes that can be found in black metal are: nihilism (the replacement of Christian morals,) bloody warfare and victory over Christianity, the apocalypse or Ragnarok, the rise of demonic or Satanic forces, anti-Christian paganism and heathenism, Nazism, and the occult.


Black metal is about the ideology it has nothing to do with aesthetics, which is why a huge number of bands from Burzum to Summoning to Darkthrone, despite the fact that they all sound different  are all grouped under the BM genre.

Wearing corpse paint and playing tremlo riffs does not make you a black metal band. Neither does being "Fucked up and Brutal". In general I would say that most Black metal bands are more melodic then DM bands.

The more I listen to the new cd, the less I like it compared to the self-titled one.  Maybe it's just me, but something about "Yes, Virginia" just seems...I don't know, I almost want to say lazy.  I hate being the guy that yells "Sellout!" as soon as a group moves to a bigger label, or gets better distribution, but it just seems like all of Amanda's fangs went away.  The songs, other than "Modern Moonlight" seem to be lacking something, there's just not the sense of urgency or intensity than made me fall in love with this band in the beginning.  Don't get me wrong, I still like the new cd, but it's a little disappointing compared to what I thought it would be.  Oh well, who am I to judge...

Anyway, back on topic, I am currently listening to The Shape Of Punk To Come by freakin' Refused...one of my top 10 albums, most likely...I can't think of anything I don't like about it.

Just to hop in on this topic of discussion. I really enjoyed the self titled cd but I have to agree that "Yes Virginia" does seem to be lacking something. I have been racking my brain as to what it was since I bought it, but I think you have hit the nail on the head with the lack of the sense of urgency.  The cd is still ok but I think it has several more skipable tracks then the self titled.  Example at least for me is the song "Sing". It just feels like it was put together halfassedly and is actually quite boring.

And as for what I am listening to: Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer "Crazy=Cute", sometimes a 2 minute poppy song makes the work day go faster.

Seriously, I'm not a huge fan of Worship Him or Blood Ritual, they sound boring and unispired to me, listenable but not top tier stuff. Lyrics don't even bare mentioning. Ceremony of Opposites is good probably their third best album I'd say.

When I first heard Passage I was absolutely blown away, it's fucking amazing, the atmosphere, the sound, the lyrics the band just went to a completely different level. People can bitch about the programmed drums all they like but I think they fit the sound perfectly.

Eternal is basically the next step along, has some amazing songs,

the wind of spring blows in heaven
in the land of gold in the land of god
manipulate the holiness
maculate our loneliness
shining between two worlds
learning to win and hold
fraction of monopoly
tension of opposite's pole
give or take what has to move
for I will fight for my country
Eldest to the one and I
harvest of love and light
armless - amnesty

North south east and west the cross is sent over the lands
keep draining what was and will be in our time in our life
pilot soul takes you on the ride, no rise no fall for Humankind

Among the best survive or leave
paranoid night so hard to relieve
would you betray innovation
in the name of tradition
hopeless - amnesia

North south east and west the cross is sent over the lands
keep draining what was and will be in our time in our life
pilot soul takes you on the ride, no rise no fall for Humankind

Helvetia gloria still smile behind the shade of shame
cross your faith, join your hands tomorrow holds another day
Eldest to the one and I
harvest of love and light
dictated by war and hate
supported by those who hide
it lives in your mind
whatever you may say
whoever you may pray
Christianity worldwide


Look at those lyrics, there amazing, Vorphs writing is about 100* better then Blood ritual. The whole package, the atmosphere everything it just all came together incredibly well on this album. I seriously can't wrap my head around why people can't get into there newer stuff.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Didn't notice this, but I quite agree. I've always considered one of the main differences to be the emphasis of the music: Black Metal tends to concentrate on the 'atmospheric' sections of the band: the vocals, the lead guitar work, building often quite simple but aesthetically profound riff patterns, and in some cases the keys/folk instruments/acoustic guitar/whatever. Death metal, I find, is more grounded in the rhythm section. Wicked-ass bass grooves and machine-gun tight drum patterns are what really bring me to death metal. Not to say that BM bands can't have amazing rhythm sections, but still, listen to the drumming in, say, Decapitated or Behemoth to see what I mean.

Stevie Ray Vaughan.  Namely, Pride and Joy, and his covers of Little Wing and Voodoo Child.

The man died much too young.  He will be missed... and to think, it was almost Eric Clapton in the helicopter instead of him.
The music is some seriously good stuff.  Excellent lead guitar by Mr Vaughan himself, and his band supplies some pretty good rhythm-type stuff.  Definitely worth a listen.

This a serious slight on Dungen. I mean, I really like Wolfmother, but Dungen are so much more than what Wolfmother are doing. True, they are both very retro rock acts with heavy Purple and Sabbath influence, but Dungen has so many more interesting elements to their sound, Swedish folk, jazz fusion, symphonic prog.

This is another musical artist that I just kind of ignored for a good couple of years 'til I heard it accidentally on my friend's iPod. It was love at first listen.

Modern Giant - The Band's Broken Up. Local Sydney band sings/talks about going to shows ('Midnight Oil, The Hummingbirds, The Clash'), local venues, trying to get laid, and 'Buzzcocks shirts and bourbon', and though i'm younger then the band i like both those things

its one of those silly little songs you hear late at night and really connect to... and it inspired me to get into the Hummingbirds, who are worth it

Eels - Not Ready Yet


wee Eels
I was in the record store with my friend today and made him buy Beautiful Freak. It was 12 dollars and had a wad of cash on him. It made me quite content.

Weakerthans - Aside (my all time, number one favourite Weakerthans song. It's really poppy and oddly optimistic and makes me smile tonnes.)  My three favourite lyrics from that line, in no particular order:

I'm unconsoled, I'm lonely.
I am so much better than I used to be.


Rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony.
Get clobbered on by courtesy, in love with love, and lousy poetry.


And I'm leaning on this broken fence between Past and Present tense.
And I'm losing all those stupid games that I swore I'd never play.
But it almost feels okay.


SUCH a great song :)

Acid Bath - New Corpse

Currently on a little Acid Bath binge. The fact that it played this right after Dead Girl is why I have so much trouble explaining to people what Acid Bath sound like. This is fucking industrial metal, complete with samples and processed vocals, that was a full-acoustic bluesy ballad. And now it's switched to the Sabbath-esque brilliance of Paegan Love Song. Perhaps the best description, given their sum of influences and styles, might be 'everything nu-metal could have been had anyone with an ounce of talent or originality been involved at any stage whatsoever'.

But they are not nu-metal whatsoever.

Oh no.

BUT FUCK ARE THEY SO GOOD.

The Bronx - ST.  I think this was a rather underrated album this year.  I still prefer their "White Drugs" debut for its rawness, and for just having a higher level of energy, but this one is great as well.  They remind me quite a bit of what I loved about Every Time I Die when "Hot Damn!" came out; just a thick layer of sneering, pissed off, sarcastic punk rock styled hardcore.

I disagree...kind of.  I was never all that impressed with their early stuff, but there's something about Shape Of Punk To Come that just blew me away when I first heard it, and I still consider it one of my top albums.  I've listened to the rereleases of their earlier material and my general reaction has been "meh" but that Shape Of Punk.. release was, in my opinion, amazing.

As for my listening habits, it's back to the standards; I've been listening to "Jane Doe" a lot lately.  Still my favorite album period.

Skyclad - Postcard From Planet Earth

"Now with hindsight I admit,
I don't admire the humans lot,
Frail bodies, fragile, ill-equipped.
Their lives are hard, but they are not.


Planet Earth: It's great to visit
It's great to visit,
But you wouldn't want to live there

And when you know the ways of men,
Then you can only pity them,
Every day a raging storm,
Cast away in a carbon-based life form.

Planet Earth: It's great to visit
It's great to visit,
But you wouldn't want to live there"

Written from the perspective of an alien marooned hopelessly on earth. Just a great concept, and a damn powerful song.

I dunno I've sort of heard Shape of Punk To Come that many times it's lost its charm. Seriously all through year 11 and 12 this was pretty much the only album I heard when I rode in my friends car (which was quite often). It was either this album of Bad Religon's "Generator". I swear he only had two cd's or something   :roll: It's still a good album for all the memories it gives me, especially track 4, 'Summer holidays vs Punk routine'.  It has that insanely catchy riff running through it.

I dunno.  I read your blog, and I still think they're pushing a racist agenda.  You mentioned that nobody would use the term "bigot" as a positive moniker, but I disagree.  I saw a Klan rally once and the leader got up and went "I hate spics, Jews, Asians, and any other kind of foreigner!  I don't have a to have a reason; I just hate 'em 'cause they're there!"  People like that know they're being unreasonable, but they don't care.  Plus, the album title "Incorrigible Bigotry" is certainly an attention grabber.

Listener - Ozark Empire.  It's a hip-hop style concept album by this (http://www.forthelistener.com) guy, about a corporate whore who loses his job, becomes a traveling knife salesman to make money, ends up cheating on his wife, and in the end gets killed by one of his own knives (irony?)  As far as storyline goes, it's very similar to Pedro The Lion's "Control" album, but not quite as cynical.  Musically, it's pretty lo-fi, very underground as far as production goes.  It's not really straight hip-hop, more free verse spoken word set to beats, but very interesting.

I saw this guy perfom last December, and was pretty impressed.  I'd say he's worth checking out.

Yeah it has me perpelexed as well. Sometimes I almost think they are pushing an anti-racist agenda like when they sing

"The European taste for sugar cane
Tobacco in thick
Precious leafy fronds
Amenities not found in colder climates
Are sought

Above the steaming jungle
Lies snowy heights of horror
Foundations of empire are laid
On sweating backs of nigger slaves"

It's almost as if they are protesting the explotation of slaves

and then in the same song they sing

"Rampant prognathism
Reduced cranial girth
Dark children led away
Evidence of the rape
In chains"

Plus they share drummers with Grand Belial's Key and I'm pretty sure GBK are neo nationalists or whatever the word for white supremacists are.

Atmosphere - "Bird Songs Why The Caged I Know"

Quote
It's the bird, it must have been the bird
Disgusting critter, it must
We should have known better then to trust
This disease infested ball of lust and carnage
Piece of garbage with wings and she has the guts to sing
Get the bird, catch her shoot her, I dont care
Get the bird, bring her down to the ground from out the air
Gotta tear her apart, let me at her first
Sink her to the level of the rest of us that inherit the earth

What's she thinking? does she really believe
That shes above the creatures that work the dirt and the streets
See her up in the tree, looking down at you and me
Like she's chosen over those who walk around on two feet
The bird, the melodys she play
The music she make, rubbing our faces in the feces of the daybreak
Trying to remind us, its time to awake
Antaganizing and instigating my hate
The chirps, I turn them into screams
My feathered friends end will justity the means
Disturbed, I'll grab her by her beak
And swing her in circles untill she's too dizzy to speak

Well I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she's a snake that can fly) she's just food for the fleas
She thinks she's better then me just because she's free?
I'll shake her from her branch, tear apart her nest
Break her skinny legs and fry her eggs up for breakfast
(she's a snake that can fly) she's just food for the fleas
She thinks she's better then me just because she's free?

My beautiful bird has gone away

Echo & the Bunnymen - New Direction

Their self titled album somehow gives me really strong memories of this summer hanging out at Deer Lake park. It's all flighty and cheestacular and expansive like a nice big crisp lake with lilypads all over with the most fucking bizarre semi-claustrophobic park layout (one day me and my friends got lost in the cramp wooden mountanous area for at least three hours).

Good times.

Darkthrone - Unholy Black Metal

I love the short and fast solo, sounds like an air raid siren and then it cuts to the lyrics, Nocturno Culto sounds absolutely fantastic and the echo effect on he's voice is absolutely unreal, the production on Under a Funeral Moon is amazing, one of the most evil sounding records I've heard.


"When the gates have all been opened
When the funerals never end
When satans power paints out hearts
And sadness our souls

When witches burn the priests
When the ancient ones return
When the demons ride the numb
With their hordes of dark desires"

Someone took a razor to her mask.

The balance tipped by the weight of gold.
When will it end?
When will it ever end?

The judgment man holds my fate,
As I beg forgiveness with the
Plastic smile of a candidate.

"Don, Aman" off Spiderland by Slint. Y'know, I don't really see what all the fuss is about this... It's good and all, but it is not the MUSICAL REVOLUTION that everyone makes it out to be...

Consider this; look at pretty much every post-rock act in the last 10 years.  They've probably been influenced by either Slint (in the case of bands like Mogwai, or Godspeed You! Black Emperor) or Tortoise (in the case of bands like Do Make Say Think).  It may not seem like a musical revolution now, but that's because they've had such a huge impact on so many artists.

That said, I think Slint are ten times better than many of the artists they inspired.  For me, its the emotion that is enfused in their music that sets them apart from the other bands.

i've never gotten round to ensiferum so i can't really say i can say the riffage is great, the best way to describe them is a CoB clone who can actually play decently

The Red Chord - Clients

The idea behind this album is brilliant. The singer I guess worked for a while one summer for a clinic or something, dispensing pills to some of the homeless folk around Boston.  He developed all these characters, based on the people he encountered, and wrote the songs on the album about or inspired by them.  Also, the fact that one of the songs on the album contains the line "the penis was from heaven and it went to hell" makes it a winner in my book.

That album is ace.  Although I'm pretty sure that that song title should be "Conceptual Separation of Self".  (My OCD-ish music side is kicking in.)

Yeah, I have no money to buy albums.  I've been listening to any Faraquet I can find on the internet, and I found that song on Myspace, and since Myspace has to shorten song names to fit in those spaces. . .

The $10 + Shipping from Dischord is totally worth it for that album. >>edit - The Faraquet one.<<

Tortoise - Crest

I've been listening to a lot of Tortoise today.  I finished Standards, and will probably make my way through the rest of It's All Around You this week, as well as TNT and Millions Now Living Will Never Die.  Before this I listened to The Mercury Program's From the Vapor of Gasoline and A Data Learn The Language.  I guess I am on a post-rock binge.

NANANANANANANANANANA NANANA NA NA NA NA NA!

I NEED THIS SONG SO HARD.

Am listening to The Gossip - Jealous Girls

I really didn't expect to like them, as I don't like funk, albeit dancey or otherwise, I really don't like gspel style soul singers, and every scenester in my hometown thinks that The Gossip are so cool that they're all trying to become chubby lesbians to be like Beth Ditto. WELL I BEAT THEM TO THAT ANYWAY.

But the point - I got the album for my job and realised that it's absolutely brilliant and haven't heard anything to rival its brilliance in months.

I just bought the new Deftones album, Saturday Night Wrist, tonight...I'm going to go ahead and say it, this album is fucking GORGEOUS.  I was kind of disappointed in the self-titled album; it just felt like they went into it rather lazily and didn't write songs that were as good as their potential indicates.  I am really super happy to hear the new one with all the layers and sonic textures that White Pony had...

I still maintain that Masters of War is far angrier and more profound than almost any Grindcore track ever. The only one that definitely surpasses it is 'You Suffer' by Napalm Death, which is about half a second long and is the only micro-song I can think of that really deserves to be taken seriously, because its lyric cuts absolutely to the core of everything.

"You suffer, but why?"

I;m currently listening to:

X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage! Up Yours!

Whenever i saw the album my first thought was about wanking sparks and then Graham look coldly at me.? So i finally popped open the case with a struggle against the plastic restraining it.? I hit the play button on my computer and surprisingly i liked it pretty well.? I guess it goes to show you that just because a man looking coldy at you doesnt mean he isnt half bad.

"Drinking For 11" - Mad Caddies

How much do I love the Mad Caddies? Lots. They're kindof pop-rock-whatever? They're not afraid to go into a classic Dixieland-style and then switch to 20s ragtime and go hang out with Bob Marley and get stoned within 20 minutes, and then go into late-30s sleazy club showgirl music just to piss on your expectations even more.

Trumpets and trombones aren't just for ska, guys!

I'm listening to III, the most heralded Sebadoh album, and I must say I'm rather disappointed. It lacks depth of Pavement and GBV, and despite the feud that ended Dinosaur Jr., J Mascis clearly emerges here as a more talented member of the band.

Of course, "Gimme Indie Rock" is one of the greatest kissoffs to a musical movement of all time, but this album feels pretty flat.

Mogwai - Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait OST.  I guess they scored this as a soundtrack for a movie about soccer or something?  I listened to the first few tracks before falling asleep.  I don't know, it's pretty good by just general music standards, but compared to everything else of theirs that I've heard, it's just a little underwhelming.

Boyd Rice - Total War

Although I love the guy, I really can't help but think of his entire artistic output as being something like one vast dead baby joke. It always does well to remember that, apart from the fact that Rice's music is far, far less poppy, there's really very little seperating his methods from those of Marilyn Manson. I mean, they're both oh so spooky serial killer afficionados and reverends in the church of Satan who piss around with nazi imagery and make statements about how they want to destroy Christianity.

Rice is just more of an elitist cock about it.

Metallica does about half  of "A National Accrobat" on Garrage inc, it's sandwiched between the start and end of Sabbra Cadabbra though, arrangement actually works pretty well imo.

I don't think this counts but I'm totally listening to myself play an acoustified version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by the Beatles. It's still kindof rough but I think once I'm done working on it I'll be happy with it and will proceed to post on a file storage place for great justice.

I gotta say I do a hell of a live show, even if the audience is just me. After all, if your audience is happy...

At the moment I'm listening to the Matador At Fifteen compilation. The track currently going is "The Laws Have Changed" by The New Pornographers.

It's a thoroughly satisyfing comp, guys. With the exception of an 11-minute long dirge courtesy of Bardo Pond, it's almost like a superbly-flowing singles comp on the first disc (which, by the way, it is) and a well-compiled mixtape of brilliant b-sides on the second disc (which it is). The accompanying DVD has the video for the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's "She Said," making it automatically worth it, and the little booklet of in-house correspondence is an entertaining read (see the correspondence between Gerard Colsoy and Pitchfork Records near the beginning for an example).

EDIT: Now playing is "My Kind Of Soldier" by Guided By Voices, which is one of my favourite GBV songs. Damn do I love this comp.

The persecution of Douglas Pearce alone has turned me completely against the Anti-Fascist Association (The happy folks who apparently decided at one point that Death in June was ambiguous enough that they would 'allow' them to perform live. Fucking bastards! I would fucking kill to see Deathi in june live shut up!).

Fucking twats!

OH MY GOD THERE'S SCREAMING FUCKING PEOPLE IN THE BACKGROUND WHILST PEARCE SINGS "SO THIS IS YOUR LIFE, THIS IS YOUR WORLD, A LULLABYE TO A GHETTO, WHERE YOU MURDER BOYS AND GIRLS" HOW THE FUCK IS THIS PRO-NAZI YOU FUCKING IDIOTS?

Death in June - Rose Clouds of Holocaust.

...my people are idiots.

Sorry, i'm reading some really annoying articles written by some prissy fucking socialist about how evil death in june and whitehouse are. It all boils down to claiming death in junes entire aesthetic is an act to sell more records and a load of bullshit sectarianism and marxist fuckwittery. Man, I am getting to seriously fucking dislike marxists. I mean, lets be fair, its more a religion than a political standpoint (you believe in a socialist utopia and revolution despite the overwhelming evidence), and it's also fucking anti-freedom and just GRRR.

Fuck, this article is so obsessed with left/right politics! There is nothing like people who bleat on about class struggle every nine fucking seconds and then get involved in elitist sectarian pissing matches. Who cares who was a member of what when and what fucking rumours you heard from your reliable sources you idiot. Douglas Pearce is a gay ex-socialist. This wanker basically cannot distinguish any sort of individualistic philosophy from fascism. HOW THE FUCK IS ANARCHISM IN ANY FORM RELATED TO FASCISM GRR.

Haven't been here in a few days, so I'll post a few of the albums I've been listening to while enjoying my "vacation":

Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist
.  It's not quite White Pony, but I think this may be the second most beautiful thing that Chino & Co. have been responsible for.  It's like the perfect refinement of what the Deftones have always been, plus what Chino did with Team Sleep (JohnnyC, I'd like to hear your opinion on this album, by the way)

ISIS - Panopticon.  Watched the DVD and got in the mood to listen to this band.  I've listened to Oceanic a lot more than I have Panopticon, so I went with the one that hasn't gotten as much love.  I still think I like Oceanic the best out of everything they've done.

Orchid - Gatefold LP.  It's actually the cd version 'cause I'm not cool enough to have gotten into vinyl yet, but whatever.   This is some really good, really gritty and raw punk/hardcore a la Pg. 99 or City Of Caterpillar, but a little less atmospheric.  I busted it out in order to drown out the sounds of my neighbors shitty hip-hop sex soundtrack.

Sage Francis - A Healthy Distrust.  I've been listening to a lot of his older stuff recently, so I figured I'd go back to listening to the cd that got me into his music in the first place.  There are a lot of really good tracks on this one, even for someone who generally doesn't really like hip hop and rap.

and at this very moment, I am indulging my love for all things associated with Level Plane Records (http://www.level-plane.com) by listening to A Day In Black And White - My Heroes Have Always Killed Cowboys.  I guess if you had to genre-fy it, you'd call it post-hardcore - or even more ghastly, "Screamo" - but I also think that fans of Godspeed might enjoy this as well.  The singer has a vocal delivery similar to that of the guy from Ten Grand, and some of the guitar parts remind me a good bit of F#A# (infinity).

Hooray!  Long music post FTW!!!

Iron Maiden - The Longest Day

A Matter of Life and Death might not be their strongest album musically, but damn if it doesn't have some of the best lyrics they've ever written. When I heard it was a concept album, I assumed it would be a unified story like Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, rather than being a bunch of unconnected songs on a specific subject.

In the gloom, the gathering storm abates
In the ships, gimlet eyes await
The call to arms, to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide, throw evil to its fate

All summers long, the drills to build the machine
To turn man from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to Armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master not your god
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud
These wretched souls, puking shaking fear
To take a bullet for those who sent them here

The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame
No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains
Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's fate
A choking death
ENTER HELL'S GATE


So good.

Sage is awesome.  He's one of the few rappers out there that I am really into.  I can't wait for his new cd next year.
"Specialist/Hopeless" off the Personal Journals is probably my favorite part of that album...

"Hoppipolla" - Sigur Ros

Still an all-time favourite. I cry every time I watch the video because it reminds me so much of my grandpa who died last summer, and also of the grandpa who is here at my dad and stepmom's house who I might not ever see alive again after I go back to Albania.

Don't regard this as attention whoring, I'm just saying this song is awesome 'cause it reminds me of stuff and it's not even in a language I fully understand.

Dillenger Escape Plan - Miss MAchine.  This gets a lot of hate for some reason, mostly because of the more industrial-sounding elements they incorporated in the mix, but I really like it.  I hate the cover art a lot though.

I liked that one too, a few years ago. Also hate the cover art.

i recently aquiered recordings of 5 do make say think concerts and holly hell! dmst has always been one of my favorite bands. i love 'em. but live, even though i just heard fairly high quality recordings, they blew me completly out of the water. i never knew they were this good. everything, especially the drums, the saxaphone, and the horn are far more pronounced live and there's some definite improvisation going on as well. the music takes on a whole new level of intensity. there's now incredibly dramatic and intense crescendos and peaks, much more so than on any of their albums. much like when i saw the wrens live and was stunned by how they were far better live than on an album (even though i love their work), dmst floored me. i am now extremly excited to actually see them live in march and listening to these recordings have propelled them to a high spot on my list of favorite bands. for anyone who's a fan of the genre and has not heard these guys live, do yourself a favor and download some of their concerts.

Yet stoke the sulphurous pyres of war.
Pray kiss this seal and glove,
that stroke drug-money, gun and whore.
Pious liars have all deceived us;
Bled the beggars - fed the choosers.
Our prayers shall have been heeded,
whence ye sinners swing like Judas!

SWING!"

Converge - "Grim Heart/Black Rose" from the new cd.  I'm just a few listens away from saying this is the best song they've ever written.  It's a bit of a departure from usual form for them, as it features actual sung vocals (sung by Jonah Jenkins of Only Living Witness/Milltown, who has one of the best voices I've heard in a while) but it's just So. Damn. Good.  I really think they might have topped, or at least equalled, Jane Doe.

The Sword smell a bit like an ironic metal cash-in to me, but I haven't heard enough of their music to be sure. That stuff can either be blatantly awesome (3 Inches of Blood) or not (Goblin Cock).

Currently listening to:

Forefather - Ours is the Kingdom

"Our hearts are not in heaven,
Nor eastern desert sands,
With eyes closed to your saviour,
Our fate is in our hands!"

I always have meant to check out Atheist, because people have been telling me for years about them, that they are basically jazz musicians playing metal, but I never really believed them! I always thought they must be overhyped or something! Fuck! Great music. I'm going to have to amend my list of favorite bands now.

I would put forth Don Caballero over Medications if you want math-rock drumming.  Damon Che is an octupus.

Today I went to 3 record stores.  I bought 5 CDs and 3 cassettes (because they were there and were cheap).  I purchased:


I got these at the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis.  Pretty good deal, seeing as I had a coupon for 15% off for each item, but in the future I think I will go to Treehouse Records, one of the other record stores I went to today (but didn't buy anything at because I had coupons for Electric Fetus).

I got the following cassettes at Half Price books/records in St. Paul:


The cassettes were super cheap.

At the moment, I am listening to Do Make Say Think.

Quote from: Flaming Ostrich
I would have to say no.  Damon Che doesn't impress me as much as Andrew Becker.  At least not yet.  I would be glad for you to give me examples.

While I will admit that Andrew Becker is a skilled and tasteful drummer, I just don't think he can compare to Damon Che.  Becker does a great job of keeping the beat and adding tasteful fills and frills to the music of Medications, but I see him as using the drums the same way most rock bands utilize drums: to create a rhythmic foundation for all the other instruments, which are more featured.  While there are some very interesting drum parts in Medication's music (the really really fast high-hat part in Safe and Sorry comes to mind), the focus is on the guitar and vocals.  Damon Che takes the drums from a background piece to one of the main pieces of the band, while still providing a rhythmic foundation.  He also facilitates the turn-on-a dime tempo changes and off kilter rhythmic patterns that set Don Caballero apart from many other math-rock bands.  The other thing is, the styles of Don Cab and Medications are different, and so call for different drumming styles.  I think that Medications calls for a pretty standard rock drumming style, with perhaps a little more technical and interesting stuff thrown in occasionally.  Don Cab calls for intense, complex, absurd drumming, which is what Damon Che provides.

I think Don Caballero 2 and What Burns Never Returns are the best Don Cab albums, and really showcase not only Damon Che but all the members of the band.  I have not heard the newest album (World Class Listening Problem), but I have heard that it does not compare favorably to the earlier albums (with the true Don Cab lineup), and it probably does not reflect the best of Don Cab.  If you haven't heard Don Caballero 2 or What Burns Never Returns, you need to give them a listen.

@greenMonkey- I understand that technical prowess isn't necessarily what makes a good drummer.  However, I have to disagree with you that Andrew Becker utilizes the drums soley as a backround instrument.  Listening to I am the Harvest should make my point.  The drums lead everything else and stand out for most of the song (admittedly, the guitar takes charge during most of the verse).

Kingston Wall are fantastic. Pink-Floyd-esque psych rock band from Finland who released 3 untitled albums over as many years, then the singer jumped off a church and that was the end of that. The first one has an 8-track concept piece about shrooms which is just fantastic. Anyone who likes music and also music that has guitars in should hear this.

Stavesacre - How To Live With A Curse. 

I used to be really into this band 5 or 6 years ago, but after their somewhat disappointing release "(stavz'a'ker)" I sort of stopped paying attention to them.  SOmehow, it came to my attention that they have a new album that came out this past summer, so I checked it out, and DAMN!  Mark Soloman has returned with some of the most powerful vocals I've heard in some time...he's got a style similar to that of Jonah Jenkis from Only Living Witness/Miltown only less 90's-alternative.  His voice just soars across the melodies, and the music that accompanies him plays to that strength very well.  My only disappointment is that I now want to go back and listen to their older material, which is rather hard to come by...

Ewigkeit - Far Away From Heaven

I've heard a lot about Ewigkeit, mainly from this forum I think, I saw this cd (Conspiritus) and picked it up today, second listen through I guess my reaction is "woah" Sounds like  later Limbonic Art mixed with Ulver. It's like "Ultimate Death Worship" meets "Perdition City". It has the really mechanical artificial drum machine sound and that  guitar 'crunch' of the last two Limbonic Art albums and then it has all the sampling and synth sounds and vocal stylings somewhat reminiscent of mid Ulver stuff, yet at the same time it sounds very unique. I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this up, but I have to say I'm glad I did. It'll probably take me a few more listens to get into the album, but I'm impressed.
Title: Re: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: KharBevNor on 07 Jan 2007, 17:58
You've almost certainly only heard about Ewigkeit from me. They're a personal obsession of mine. I firmly believe Mr. Fog to be one of the most under-rated artists in the world: back when last.fm calculated unique listeners Ewigkeit was consistently languishing at under 400, which is pretty crazy. I personally discovered them totally by accident from an Earache sampler disc...By the way, if you think Conspiritus is good, then A) watch the video for It's Not Reality (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0Ju9VO36vM) B) watch Mr. Fogs mini documentary about the albums concept (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fkti0L1BiA), C) go buy Radio Ixtlan, the album before Conspiritus. It will blow your mind.

Also, there is a free re-release EP (Return to the Land of Fog) available from his website (http://www.ewigkeit.co.uk/). Hurray! He has also gone from awesome to more awesome recently by burning all his record contracts and starting his own web distro.

Also, just an aside, but man is his website proffessional now. I remember when it was one step above an Angelfire page and in his merch section he was selling original album art and the sound-card he made Radio Ixtlan on to raise funds. Man, I wish I'd had more money.

i recently started listening to okay, and i gotta say i'm really enjoying it. musically it's sorta typical indie rock, maybe a little more inspired in some ways than many more traditional indie rock bands. at least i find the music a bit more interesting. and the lyricist, Marty Anderson, of howard hello, lazarus, and dilute, is terrific. his voice, nasaly and a bit rasping, is very original. it reminds me a bit of a male coco rosie, or, at times, joanna newsom for some odd reason. either way he's great. lyrically nothing stunning but very nice nonetheless. any fans of indie rock with a little spin should check this out b/c it's realy quite good.

Right now I'm listening to Eels' Blinking Lights And Other Revelations. The vocals aren't really my favorite, but I just love the feel to the music. The tinkly piano and the string section in most of the songs on this album give it a lullabye feel, though it would have to be an extrememly depressing lullabye.

If you see this album in a record store, see if you can listen to Railroad Man. I really like that one.

Snow Blind by This Empty Flow. Freaking awesome band. THe guys who where in it also used to be in Thergothon, one of the first (and still best, IMO) funeral bands around. But This Empty Flow doesn't sound like that at all. It's kind of Poppy Shoegaze, with a massive Cure influence, and there's still some pretty epic moments here and there. I would seriously recommend you all get Magneta Skycode by them, as it's an amazing album.

Post by: Scytale on 14 Jan 2007, 15:27
I've been meaning to check out more Grave Digger, only thing I've heard is "Rhinegold", which wins because of the shear awesomeness of adapting Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen

I'm currently playing:
Hollenthon - Premonition, Lex Talionis

Hollenthon are fucking awesome, I guess you'd describe it as Symphonic Death Metal. Doesn't really sum up their sound though, maybe like a folkier verison of Therion's Lepaca Kliffoth.

 I guess it's like old school death metal meets world music influences, lots of Classical\European, Celtic and even Oriental and African sounds mixed in with the music. One of the tracks on "With Vilest Worms to Dwell" is an adaption of one of Prokofiev's Ballets

Hugely reccomended, I wish Martin Schirenc would put out another album.

Post by: KharBevNor on 14 Jan 2007, 16:11
That Prokofiev thing sounds interesting, I've been wanting more of that in music ever since I heard Blood Axis' 'Reign I Forever', which samples Romeo and Juliet.

As for Grave Digger, yes. That said, 'Heart of Darkness' and 'Knights of the Cross' come well recommended. Grave Digger are my second favourite of the big 80's German 'real' power metal bands, behind Running Wild. If you haven't heard Running Wild, by the way, then you are seriously behind. Get the Branded and Exiled/Under Jolly Roger/Port Royal trilogy NOW!

That part from Romeo and Juliet Blood Axis sampled is probably the best thing Prokofiev wrote. Other than that, stay away.
I mean seriously, his first symphony, what the hell?

Also, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum are amazing.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to listen to Elton John as long as it's  60s/70s Bernie Taupin Elton.  Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Honky Chateau, Captain Fantastic,  Caribou, etc, were fucking incredible albums.  The later stuff where it was sometimes with Bernie, sometimes not, starts to suck a bit/a lot.

They remind me a lot of Emperor actually the way they layer their sound.

Red Lorry Yellow Lorry - This is Energy

I got hooked on this band after grabbing two of their records for $5 each in the discount bin of a music store. I'd read mentions of them before that, but hadn't heard any of their songs. I found them to be awesome.

Queen - Crazy little thing called love...

having a little queen period right now (have lasted for a half hour and will probably last for another half hour ;) )

Their voices really go well together, and neither of them drowns out the other. Fantastic partnership.

You managed to get hold of the new one? It's well worth the effort.
Well. I was a little disappointed... but after all there is 3 years between the records =)

I'm going through some cds I haven't heard for ages, and I'm loving this 70s songs cd. Especially this song "I hate the music" by John Paul Young. It's a nice concept for a song, (that he used to love music but wasn't good at it, then she helped him with it... then they broke up and now he hates music because it just reminds him of her) and I always *always* love a catchy, enthusiastic, piano backing. It just makes me want to dance...

Botch - We Are The Romans.  This is pretty much a definitive release as far as "mathcore" is concerned; I'd say as important for the genre as what Dillinger Escape Plan's "Calculating Infinity" was, and this actually has some song structure to it.  The "hidden" electronica/techno track at the end is a nice bonus too.

Trivia time:  There is a song on this album titled "Man The Ramparts."  The band, in the commentary track to the dvd released last year, acknowledges that they often referred to the song by its 'joke title,' "Ram The Man-Parts."  A subtle, yet oh-so-effective change that will help explain why if I ever get around to making a mix cd for Tyler, this song will be included. (It's not just a song, it's an invitation)

I like this song, it has a good beat to it, nice and always moving. Not something I'd play on a party though.

I'm reasonably sure that song was only written so that Cradle of Filth could get a record for the most times anyone says 'cunt' in a song. It's quite fun live, when the whole crowd chants it. Newer CoF albums tend to be pretty boring though. Its almost like they've fallen into the same trap as their fans and critics, ie, taking themselves too seriously. They've somewhat lost that mischeivous, decadent edge which was really the only thing going for them.

Dammit now I have cravings.

Cradle of Filth - Born in a Burial Gown

(watching it on youtube, because I have no Cradle on this PC)

I still think some of their lyrics are brilliant. The line 'Now she moves with a predators guile/beyond the fire lit circle of life' is awesome.

Sorcerers of madness
Selling me their time
Child of God sitting in the sun
Giving peace of mind
Fictional seduction
On a black snow sky
Sadness kills the superman
Even fathers cry

Superstitious century
Didn't time go slow
Separating sanity
Watching children grow
Synchronated undertaker
Spiral skies
Silver ships on plasmic oceans
In disquise

Watching eyes of celluloid
Tell you how to live
Metaphoric motor-replay
Give, give, give!
Laughter kissing love
Is showing me the way
Spiral city architect
I build, you pay

Yeah, I know it was used in The Craft and as the title music for Charmed or whatever, but I still like this version. Mainly because it's sung by the guy from the Psychedelic Furs and I've got a huge musical hard-on for the Furs.

How odd. I was just talking about this cover in the thread about bands that shouldn't be covered.  I like this version too.

Don't mind me, I get fixated on cover versions.

Now it's

Bauhaus - Ziggy Stardust

The best of both worlds, Bauhaus covering a Bowie song. My favourite cover version Of All Time, no matter what anyone else says.

Talking of covers

Sopor Aeternus & The Ensemble of Shadows - Dio N'arap (Black Sabbath's Paranoid)

This is just fucking bizarre, but unbelievably brilliant.

"Finished with the dark side
If no longer helps me with my mind,
Still Saturn's rites connect us
Black-dressed I am falling back from time to time...
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy,
I cannot bear the dead stand-still,
The blind search, unable to find my own life...
Can you help me?
Who will set me free?
I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find,
I can't see the things that make true happiness
I must be blind.
Make a joke and I will sigh
You might laugh but I will cry,
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal.
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now all of my state,
I tell you to enjoy life,
I wish I could,
Soon it might be too late...!!!"

And now I'm on to Tabor C'alan O'itana (A National Acrobat). Anna-Varney needs to release a whole disc of this shit.

Telegram Sam is also an awesome cover, as is Third Uncle, the Eno cover. Hell, Bauhaus just ROCK at doing covers (not that I'm biased as a Bauhaus fanboy or anything).

I really liked the Placebo cover of 20th Century Boy, but I'm also a Placebo fanboy too.

Sorry for the constant digressions, I've been overindulging with the public holiday in these parts.

Ok, back on topic:

PIG - Hello Hooray (regular)

I just love the way Raymond Watts hams it up (pun intended).


Hokay, new post alert thing.

Modified paranoid lyrics


Those are great, what other Sabbath songs has she done.

1349 - The Blade

Love this track, the Harmonium is so creepy and those whispers, give me the shivers. Lyrics are well done too, really add to the disturbing aspect of the song.


Caress me, gently
I feel your bite
The slithering motion
so serpentine
Cold
The river
Crimson
Pain floats away

The kiss of steel

The streams of life
Scarifaction art
Conceive the skin
Draining mortality
Drain all life
Enchanting the blade
to an exhorting play.

Just Paranoid and a National Acrobat. They're tucked away on the 'Like a Corpse Standing in Desperation' boxed set, which has a lot of cool unreleased stuff, and loads of demo and instrumental versions of her songs. As far as I know they're the only covers she's done.

Best cover of Across the Universe is Laibach's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzTGwIwwguo)

As we've mentioned The Smiths and Placebo, can I put in a good word for Placebos cover of Bigmouth Strikes Again? It's like an endless vortex of pouting camp, but it's awesome.

I'm pretty sure I picked up the Bauhaus cover at random from a folder on some guys DC. It also had loads of great live covers by the Sisters of Mercy, stuff like Comfortably Numb and Silver Machine.

@Scy: Early 1349 shit is AWESOME. Do you have the track 'Riders of the Apocalypse'?

Yeah 1349 are pretty good, I own all their albums (not their first ep though...) Riders of the Apocalypse is off "Liberation" not there best album imo... My favorite song of theres is the title track from "Hellfire", I just love the build up and the long sustained riff (incidently or perhaps not, the track goes for 13 mins 49 secconds...), reminds me a lot of Nargaroth, which is a good thing...

No.  Lo-fi generally means poor recording or production quality.  Pink is very well produced.  It just happens that it is well produced and noisy.  The two are not mutually exclusive (see: Sonic Youth's Goo).

Early Sebadoh or Pavement are lo-fi.  Pink is not.

I disagree. To me, "lo-fi" and "well prodced" are not mutually exclusive terms. To me, lo-fi is something that is under-produced, raw, and generally lacking any sort of "sheen" to it... Pink is this.

I generally have to get used to these things because I generally don't listen to much music that is produced this way, and it takes me awhile to get past the production and appreciate the songs on their merits.

Right.  And Pink is not "under-produced".  It is very deliberately produced.  It is deliberately produced to sound messy and noisy, it's true, but it's not under-produced.  Pink was crafted very deliberately.  It may at times sound "sloppy", but it sounds that way on purpose.  That is the difference betweeb "lo-fi" and "not lo-fi".

Here's a quote I always liked from an interview (http://www.furious.com/perfect/deadc.html) with Bruce Russell, one of the New Zealand "noise" guys from the band the Dead C and other stuff.  Thought it was pretty appropriate.

Quote from: Bruce Russell
There's an enormous amount you can do with a 4-track. My personal obsession is live stereo or even mono, god forbid. There's no reason it shouldn't sound good. The first Handful of Dust single was called 'A Little Aesthetic Discourse' because I imagined it as a lesson. There was nothing lo-tech about the recording. It was me in a bona fide studio recording with two Neumann microphones, a couple of grand each, on a Studer 2-track. But it was direct, and a recording was of what was in the room.

The fact that it sounds 'lo-fi,' as people love to call it, is simply because my equipment is lo fi. My amp makes a storm of noise even at rest. People mistake that for a hissy recording. No, it's a very clear recording of a very hissy sound and that's something people have trouble grasping. Theres no reason why the kind of strategy I'm talking about needs to be lo-fi, it's not about trying to record badly, on the contrary, I'm very interested in recording sounds faithfully, it's just the strategy you adopt and the sound that you are recording. In my case it's a sound in a room that you are recording faithfully

It's nice to see the "(and discuss it)" part of this thread's title in action.

Listening to:

Nine Horses - Seratonin (Burnt Friedman Mix)

I always feel a bit guilty listening to David Sylvian, but I still love him to bits.  There's something strange about listening to a guy in his 40s doing a song which I can only imagine is about pilling... "Thoroughly wasted / My mind's hallucinating lucidity" Gah, he's so fucking earnest.

Sideshow Symphonies is probably their weakest album. I'm assuming that this is your first taste of Arcturus? Check out The Sham Mirrors. For one thing it has Garm singing on it.

Zerodrone, you're right. My usage of the term "under-produced" was misleading, I think we are more or less in agreement, but we're coming at the issue from different angles, and are basically arguing about semantics. I think we should just both agree that Pink is rad and it sounds exactly like it should sound. Like I said, to me the term "lo-fi" does not mean badly produced. It is a deliberate and legitimate decision made by an artist or producer in the making of an album, a decision made to produce a certain aesthetic. I just thought that point was worth clarifying.

Oh, once again, I kneel before this altar
Out in the moist chilly forest I proclaim

"Conqueror" is quite good - not as pretty as the Silver EP, but still excellent of its own right - but ight now my Album of the Year is very solidly looking to be the upcoming "Blessed Are The Bonds" by the Pax Cecilia.  The full album isn't out just yet, but you can check out two of the songs; "The Progress" and "The Tragedy" are available on Myspace. (http://www.myspace.com/thepaxcecilia)  I'd suggest to everyone here that you at least give them a listen and see what you think.
Title: Re: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: Valdemar on 31 Jan 2007, 09:28
It is not my cup of tea. "The Tragedy" meanders while "The Progress" is too metalcoreisque for my taste. The vocals bug me, they have this generic feel. For this sort of thing I prefer Kayo Dot. That is my initial impression anyway.

Amon Tobin - The Foley Room

It is a tough nut to crack. I think my verdict is veering on the following: It has some good songs but it is also uneven because he frequently neglects the compositions in his hunt for strange noises. But when everything comes together, he is quite something.

For the hundred millionth time I'm listening to a mix called ?Blogaritmos! 11: ?Another Crunk Genealogy? (http://wayneandwax.com/?p=52), part of the absolutely mindblowing Blogariddims podcast.  I basically never come across DJ mixes anywhere near as adventurous and informed as this, especially not ones that sound good.  :roll:

One that might be more to the taste of bods here is this monster mix of avant garde, industrial, Kraut rock, jazz and ambient  (http://www.weareie.com/2006/09/blogariddims-6-collidecoalesce.html) action.  Often the blends happen over the course of several minutes, so tracks I knew still have all these gorgeous surprises spring up when I least expect them.

FUCK.  SO EXCITED.

Angel Dust - Bleed

It must be German Metal night tonight on my pc...

This is some of the best power metal I've heard, pretty unknown band too, lyrics remind me a lot of the Slayer song "Jesus Saves", all bout the influence of money on religon.


Gotta meet the priest
and ask for his help
Will the collection
heal my soul
Can money clear the temple
of prejudice and lies
Can I reach heaven and enter paradise

Hopesfall - The Satellite Years.  This is one of the few albums that fall under the metalcore umbrella that I can use the adjective "beautiful" to describe.  Granted, they dropped a ferocious study in utter mediocrity with "A-Types" a few years later, but for a while, this band was gold.

"Transport Is Arranged" - Pavement

Just BT'd their discography. One of my friends told me I would absolutely hate Pavement just because they're not classic rock. This is a dude who needs to grow up past the "You can only like one genre EVER" mentality. I'm absolutely loving this stuff. I like them about as much as I like Ted Leo & the Pharmacists, and I *really fucking like* Ted Leo & the Pharmacists.

The city lies sleeping;

May dawn on it weeping:   
  Sullenly, slowly,   
The black plague flew o?er it,?          
  Thousands lie lowly;   
Tens of thousands shall perish?   
  The living shall fly from   
The sick they should cherish:   
  But nothing can vanquish!

Deftones - "Anniversary Of An Uninteresting Event."  Such a criminally underrated song.  I don't understand why the self-titled album got panned so hard by everyone, some of the songs were great.  This is one of the most gorgeous things Chino has done vocally, on par with if not better than the Team Sleep material.

I cant really choose my favorite Deftones album. Although they're all different, I like White Poney, Adrenaline and the self-titled all the same. Still, that is a great album.
Have you heard the new one? I enjoyed the single but I cant seem to find it anywhere.

And I'm still waiting for a new Team Sleep album.

Went on their website recently. They have a SHIT-TON of free MP3s on there by their major artists. It's great. I've got some move Pavement stuff which is fantastic, and some Malkmus solo stuff which I'm yet to listen to.

I've actually never made it more than 2 songs into this album without falling asleep.

Iron Maiden - Sign of the Cross

The best Maiden song of the 90's...

Feel the anxiety hold off the fear
Some of the doubt in the things you believe
Now that your faith will be put to the test
Nothing to do but await that is coming

Why then is god still protecting me
Even when I don't deserve it
Thought I am blessed with an inner strength
Some they would call it a penance

Why am I meant to face this alone
Asking the question time and again
Praying to god won't keep me alive
Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...

They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes
There'll be penace to pay when it's judgement day
And the guilty'll be bleed when that moment comes
They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away

Slayer- Raining Blood

Trapped in purgatory
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal
Death will be their acquisition

The sky is turning red
Return to power draws near
Fall into me, the sky's crimson tears
Abolish the rules made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now ornaments dripping above

Awaiting the hour of reprisal
Your time slips away

Raining blood
From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror
Creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood!

Weezer - Perfect Situation

Make Believe does not suck balls; taken as an ironic pop-rock album, it's actually quite good. And I like Pinkerton as much as the next guy. They're just different. Really, I think Make Believe got tossed out much too quickly. Perhaps I'm in a minority, but I think there's something there under the polished guitars and pop hooks worth listening to, perhaps not in spite of the album's mainstream appeal as somewhere within the appeal itself, if that makes any sense. I dunno. Perhaps I'm just thinking too much about it.

Cold War Kids - "Hospital Beds"

This is probably the best song on their album.  I don't know if I care for them that much; the singer seems to have one setting, and there isn't as much variety in the songs as I'd like.

Quite possibly the wussiest song they've ever, (which is saying something) but it's still so damn beautiful.

:Wumpscut: - The Beast Sleeps Within

Unlike the Syrian album above, I pretty much expect this to be another 10 tracks that sound like any of the tracks on his 2-3 previous albums. But it's always worth giving :Wumpscut: a quick download in case Rudi stopped eating pies and wrote an actual song.

Malente - Killer Applikation (The Aston Shuffle Remix)

Down-tempo electro-house. Malente is a German DJ/producer, but The Aston Shuffle is a duo from my very own Canberra (Vance Musgrove and someone else, I believe). This track is doing the rounds at the moment - I've heard it on Triple J a couple of times, and it got slammed at Good Vibrations on the weekend. Lots of bleepy fun.

Caribou - Up in Flames

I really want to love this album and I keep giving it chances, but it never quite delivers. It's got all the things I think I like, but it just isn't so awesome. It doesn't seem to go anywhere, and not in the cool static-music kinda way. In the 'I have these 10 cool sounds for tracks and they're kinda similar but  I'm gonna try and stretch them across 40 minutes anyway' kinda way.

Pity, The Milk of Human Kindness was great.

Yeah Manitoba / Caribou is so like that.  He has great production, but doesn't write very good tracks IMO.  Pretty fun live set when he's got the double-drummer onslaught going.

Arvo Part - Tabula Rasa

Really fascinating stuff. Seems sort of like a King Crimson of classical (it was written in 1984, so it's not unreasonable to say the influence might be there).
Really?  What are you thinking of?  Fripp's Frippertonic solos?  One of my best friends is a fairly obsessive Part fan, also likes Crimson, and he never mentioned Part being interested in any pop stuff of any kind... I know you don't know me, nor my friend, but just thought I'd say that I'd be very surprised if one of the leaders of Holy Minimalism or whatever it's called was secretly rocking out on his off-days.

There's a crazy earlier Part piece where he has a whole section / movement / whatevs played on toys.  Not exactly in the same spirit as his super sombre later stuff!  :)

Where'd that come from?

Some boring rock on the radio. I hear guitars, and drums and some guy singing. It started a little slow and then went fast and loud and kinda heavy but not so much that it warrants the term. The singing goes more toward screaming but also not quite so much that you'd call it that. It does that maybe 3 times and then they do the loud bit twice in a row and end on some chord on the guitar being left to dwindle on it's own.

Pig Destroyer - "Starbelly" from Prowler In The Yard.  This is one of the saddest songs lyrically that I've ever heard:

Quote
Dear everything.
Today I witnessed a crucifixion in pink and lavender and gold.
I've heard people say that beauty is in details,
but I don't think they have ever seen you.
There were mortal wounds inflicted on the sky
and incrminating blue stains on my shirt.
The shirt you bought for me.
Christ it hurts.
Like stars in my belly going supernova.
I feel like a zombie that refuses to live.
Haunting the junkyards and cutting myself on scraps of you.
The other day I masturbated to pictures of you at your birthday party.
They were the only ones I still had.
It felt so wrong, just like my life.
I hope I'm dead by the time you read this. I love you.

Rach's 3rd again. Obsessed? Maybe.

btw amok, what does your "I hate finland i need 100 beers" mean? I couldn't find anything pointing to finland from there...

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 music is better

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Therion - In Remembrance

This is the live version from 2004 on the Celebrators of Becoming boxset, during the introduction Cristoffer mentions they haven't played this song since it was recorded for A'arab Zaraq Lucid Dreaming in 1997, I have a feeling its  because he never had a tallented enough band with him to pull it off, I'm glad he waited, this version seriously kicks arse and Kristian Niemann absolutely nails it...


Draconian age, Typhonic dream
Nuit lead the qliphotic stream
The depths in mind where visions dwell
Projections of an open shell

Into aeons of the dark supreme
A ride on the qliphotic stream
Demonic queen, the whore of Babylon
The one who rides To Mega Therion

Into remembrance we transcend...

Quote from: The Seattle Stranger
Lungfish are unlike anything you'll soon witness again. A barrel-chested, heavily bearded, full-grown man deep in the throes of a shamanistic reverie, Higgs conducts himself more like a crazed prophet/poet from another dimension than a rock performer. Ferocious and otherworldly on stage, he's covered in tattoos from earlobes to ankles, and often labors in at least two pairs of pants, three or four shirts, a sweater, suit jacket, and work boots. Part Old Testament harbinger of the Apocalypse, and part physician's encyclopedia, he'll shed light on everything that's ever intrigued and terrified you. The band barely moves behind Higgs as his eyes roll back in his head and oceans of sweat froth from his beard, as he alternately shadowboxes or attempts to pull his own tongue out. I've observed him break a mic stand in half while screeching, "I beseech your long locust leg/Lust against a cloak of organs!... I beseech your secret number and name/the power of a single dollar/the power of the pinky finger!... wages of sin!... wages of sin!!!" And during a show at Brownies in NYC, two friends swear they saw him stab himself in the forehead with a safety pin and then eat a pen.

Cheers for the tip. I just picked up Unanimous Hour and got Space Orgy on, this is... interesting. His voice is strangely addictive.

If you like them check out the newer stuff from Graveland, from "Fire of Awakening" onwards (if you haven't allready) a bit similar in style and just as good imo.

Yeah, Rogue is brilliant live. He wears a cordless mic/headset thing and roams around the crowd + the venue while he sings, he just can't stay still. Pretty cool to be dancin' along to a song in the middle of the crowd only to have the singer pop up outta nowhere and sing a couple of lines right in your face. He also climbs things, he'll go right up to the roof (singing all the time) if there's suitable lighting rigs or whatever to be monkey'd up. Love it.

I listened to 'In The Glare Of Burning Churches' a couple of times (just 'cos of the name, hah) and it struck me as a bit poor, my housemate also informs me that the newer stuff is classy though so I'll give 'em a bash again, cheers.

Title: Re: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: Scytale on 08 Mar 2007, 04:48
Year Glare of Burning Churches is their old old stuff, very raw, I think "Thousands Swords" or "Following the Voice of Blood" are their best albums they're from there middle period, the newer couple of albums are very folk/pagan influenced, quite Mellow compared with their early stuff.

As for Origin, hmm I quite like it actually a few of my friends can't stand it, I'll agree with them that it has a few weakish moments but overall I don't think it's all that bad.

Motion City Soundtrack - Commit This To Memory

Downloaded on the recommendation of a friend - admittedly I should have been wary seeing as he likes Fallout Boy, but... So far, seems like little more than generic pop-punk nemo whininess. I'm sure I would have liked this if it was around when I was 16, but no more.

All the hits of yesteryear as played by whichever unimaginative idiot they've got manning the stereo. So we've got the Spice Girls, Steps, Aqua and other really really painful crap they can find.  Although now they're playing greenday's time of your life for the third time in a row after two other greenday songs so it looks like we've got another crappy theme going here. The worst thing is that the sound is at the same volume in my room (through a closed window/curtains and a brick wall or three) that I normally have music at. IT'S 2:36 IN THE GOD DAMN MORNING YOU FUCKERS, TURN THAT CRAP THE HELL DOWN. I am so gonna mow the lawn at 6:30 sunday morning.

Drudkh - When The Flame Turns To Ashes

Ukrainian prog metal band, they remind me a bit of a heavier Opeth with fuzzier production. Epic.

Freaking awesome band, far better then Opeth. Autumn Aurora is an amazing album.

RIght now I'm listening to Jesu- Sun DOwn. It's amazing, one of the best JEsu songs ever (which is saying something, because every Jesu song owns.) It's a bonus track on the Japanese edition of Conqueror, and damn, it's so good. Get this song, and every other Jesu song if you haven't already done that.

Still pissed over the whole Ticketmaster situation. I called in to GI Joes, since they have a ticketmaster kiosk there, they say they have tickets for the Bloc Party concert. Drive all the way out to the store, they say 'oh, yeah, well, we're not even allowed to tell you if tickets are available or not over the phone. Looks like the concert is sold out'.

Dodheimsgard - The Vile Delinquents

This is from their new, unreleased album Supervillain Outcast, which I've been listening to a lot for the past couple of days; it's fucking awesome. Retains the adventurousness of 666 International but tightens up the song structures incredibly both in terms of length, construction, and transition. The strange thing is that it's quite avant-garde sounding but it's so fundamentally well-constructed that it doesn't strike me as being weird in the same way that bands like DEP and Unexpect just try to make your head spin for no real reason; there's a subtlety to the inscrutability and strangeness of it that, given time to percolate, only causes the music to appear stranger.

I am actually looking forward to this one, though I don't have any prior experience with them. They have moved the release date haven't they?

The Psyke Project - Apnea

Easily the best band on the Danish metal/hardcore scene. Everything apart from the lyrics is masterful, they handle ambiance as well as full-throttle aggression and it is often mesmerizing and awe-inspiring.
This is their new album and I am hoping it will be their best album yet. The single I Get Paralyzed is a great slab of dark metallic hardcore but light-years from naff stuff like Norma Jean and the like.

Some live bootleg of Godspeed You! Black Emperor that I found online a few days ago. I only managed to make it through "Storm" before I got to work, but that's good enough to make me happy, since it's probably my favorite Godspeed song anyway. The recording quality is actually really good, so it ALMOST makes up for the fact that I've never seen them myself.

I was listening to that today too! I only got about 40 minutes into it though. Dopesmoker isn't really different, just produced a bit weird, and it's 63 as opposed to 52 minutes, so it's a fair bit slower. Both are great though. Oh, Dopesmoker comes with a bonus track at the end too.

hungbunny (http://www.hungbunny.libsyn.com) podcasts. They touch on a heap of different styles of noise. Sometimes with rythmn, sometimes without. Sometimes static, other times fast. Sometimes really harsh, but the vast majority of the time stomachable.

I just found out Limbonic Art are re-united and are putting out a new album this year, I cannot describe how happy this makes me, they are a seriously, seriously under appreciated band.

 Oooh and I also bought tickets to see Arcturus in Sydney on the 30th of March, I found out Astriaal are opening for them, which kicks arse because I really enjoy their "Renascent Misanthropy" album quite a lot. I've not really got into the last Arcturus album but it's worth paying the $45 just for Astriaal IMO.

Windir's 1184 is the best Viking album I've heard but Twilight of the Gods is quite awesome.

Currently playing:
Limbonic Art - Towards The Oblivion Of Dreams

I just found out Limbonic Art are re-united and are putting out a new album this year, I cannot describe how happy this makes me, they are a seriously, seriously under appreciated band.

 Oooh and I also bought tickets to see Arcturus in Sydney on the 30th of March, I found out Astriaal are opening for them, which kicks arse because I really enjoy their "Renascent Misanthropy" album quite a lot. I've not really got into the last Arcturus album but it's worth paying the $45 just for Astriaal IMO.

All in all it's been a pretty sweet day for me...

I might buy that Windir album then. Which Limbonic Art album is a musthave?

LN: well, actually, I am humming Placebo while contemplating how shrill Brian Molko's voice really is. Found two great bands today though. German heavy hc combo Zann and the odd Japanese ethno-sludge band Birushanah. The latter is releasing an album on the aussie Missing Link label in the near future.

Coroner - I Want You(She's So Heavy)

Genius cover. Odd swiss thrash metal is clearly what this song needs :-D
Shame the rest of the album is kind of dull.
I disagree. I like the album. "Divine Step" is definitely one of my favorite songs ever.

Which Limbonic Art album is a musthave?

Hmm I like different things about each of their albums but "Moon in the Scorpio" is what most people regard as their 'best' album. It's definately their most symphonic album, it's strange the way Limbonic Art evolved, rather then starting out BM and becomming more and more symphonic, they sort of proceeded in the opposite direction,  by their last album they were basically playing blackened thrash, with a few keyboard florishes every now and then..

I'm listening to some Spoon right now. I just got tickets for a show of their's in April so I figured I'd give some of thier stuff a spin since it's been a while. Spoon is one of the best indie popish/whateverthehellgenretheyare out thier in my opinion. Daniel's has an awesome voice and good lyrics and genuinely good instrumentals (I love spurts of distortion and such and Gimme Fiction especially has lots of that) and...well yeah. Long story short I like 'em a lot.

Post by: McTaggart on 20 Mar 2007, 08:36
Yeah, you've got to go over metal with really coarse paper to get a good noise out of a sander. Unless it's one of those massive bench ones and you can get a bit of plastic or something to wobble about the horizontal just above it and catch on the belt, spring back up and drop down and catch again.

That was a memory from year 10 plastics, I totally didn't realise back then that noise was one of those things you could be into.

Currently I'm listening to a preview of an upcoming release by a band (guy?) called drawing voices (http://www.hydrahead.org/hh/dvsite/). That link goes to the preview, that's really all I know about the band/album. So far it seems like interesting yet accessible noise that doesn't do too much (hardly any actually) of that one loud texture for a short while, abrupt cut to another, suddenly into another etc. If I run into this on a shelf somewhere it's a very likely impulse buy.

Destroyer 666 - Black City,  Black Fire


When I see all that's been
Forgiveness was my greatest sin
So I took a knife to my pity
To the people in black city

Truth chooses the strangest words
Not the tongue of the common herd
So take a blade let it bleed
Fuck the people in black city!

I was a brazen prince and cold
Now a king on an oaken throne
These dark ages mean nothing to me
For I have forsaken black city

Better to die on your feet than to live on your knees

So never bow to any gods
Tame wolves are nothing but dogs
So take a blade let it bleed
To the people in black city


These guys need to hurry up and put out a new album

Right in time every time
Synchronized all along

Some track by Macromantics and the Ground Components, called Coming in From All Angles or something similar. One of the few tracks I've heard on the radio recently and just gone "damn, I wish this thing had a repeat button." It's up beat, dancable, has harmonies (ooh, oooohooohooohaah, aaahaahaah aaaaaah), has a really cool baseline and before now I honestly don't think I've heard anything similar.

I've been doing some thinking and I've come to the conclusion that "As Jerusalem Burns...Al?Intisar" is the best Melechesh album don't get me wrong I love their others albums (especially Sphynx and Djinn) but there's just something off about them, I think it's the production the sound is almost too polished for the music, As Jerusalem Burns gets it right, it's raw, but it's the good sort of raw and the riffs good god theres some great riffs on this album.

She dresses in black everyday
She keeps her hair simple and plain

But no one would care if she did anyway

Faces seem twisted and strange
But she always wakes up
Only to find she'd been miles away

I flinch and smile at the same time everytime I see Finntroll mentioned. I mean, a finnish band singing in swedish? Wikipedia has the explanation why though.
"Finntroll's lyrics are in Swedish, because Swedish just sounds "damn trollish", according to the band's first vocalist, Katla (whose native tongue is Swedish)"
=P, yea right...

I dunno it seemed to take about 3 or 4 songs for ICS Vortex to get he's voice warmed up after that it was sweet.

My highlight was when they played "Master of Disguise"

and Hellhammer fuck he's an amazing drummer to watch, he just makes it look so fucking easy. Looked like he was playing blast beats in he's sleep.

My friends tells me this song sounds a lot like Radiohead, which makes me think maybe I should be listening to them.

The two latest Anathema albums are quite Radiohead-y in places. Not that I'm saying if you like one you'll like the other for sure, but I love both and the influence is there to be heard from time to time. That's also probably my favourite Anathema song of all time... starts off simple then builds up and up in a crescendo of awesome, and the vocals are second-to-none.

Great song! almost Einsturzende Neubauten'ish at the end.

Borbetomagus - Barbed Wire Maggots

It is not as punishing as I thought it would be, which may or may not have something to do with me setting it to a low volume.
The sax work reminds me of John Zorn's playing in Naked City, although not as frantic and even more atonal.
The guitar is mostly confined to making (more) weird noises in the background. Basically it is noise with a tinge of jazz.

Limbonic Art - The Ultimate Death Worship

I was curious as to where the samples  that they use in this track came from, I thought it was from a movie and I was trying to find it's title.

 so I googled "His fists are still clenched, but there is no movement from the condemned."  which is the phrase that's sampled over and over right at the end. And well:

Kayo Dot-Choirs of the Eye. Especially enjoying 'A Pitcher of Summer.'

The whole album is an amazing mix of all sorts of interesting things. Punkish then at times prog folk rock (or whatever Jeff Buckley is), then some metal too...All fixed as a pattern for some very artfully woven poetic lyrics.

Man this is some serious Celtic Frost worship, I absolutely love the vocals on this track, combining the vocals with the main riff and the lyrics is just such an amazing effect, so fucking metal, impossible not to headbang and the production damn the guitars sound so awesome, almost all treble, such a good effect. This song reminds me why Panzerfaust is such a good album.

Varg wrote the lyrics, I think they're pretty interesting, combines Odin with Satan...


Eight miles deep the well forgotten by mortals
Oh, I drank it empty in one single sip
Eight miles wide the valley beyond all hope
Oh, I filled the hole with one single fist

Five million christians on a ride towards us
Oh, I slaughtered the bunch with one single hit (with my spear)
Five million women so alone in the night
Oh, I had them all satisfied profusely (every night by myself)

Ten thousand trolls hard as rock cold as ice
Oh, they ran when I rose to face them
Ten hungry waves they swallowed my ship
Oh, I steadily walked home (and I only got wet on my feet)

No single book was beholden to me
Oh, there is no question I cannot answer
Only one single lamp does show me the way
And that is the eye of Satan

Not as monumental as I had hoped but nonetheless a solid album. The funny thing is that I'd be hardpressed to explain why it is not as good as my expectations. They were maybe too high? I don't know, it should be ideal for me because I have nothing against drones and noise but it just doesn't click.  I would have made it heavier though.

I am at a loss of words, this is one of my most favouritest songs ever, and this remix makes it even better. It is dancier, longer, with more layers. The outro drags a bit, as it is just some beats, but seeing as this probably belongs in a dj set, it does give an easy way to mix in another song (I'm thinking of using a soulwax track)

It is basically weird riffs made up of discordant chord progressions, in weird timing, with weird programmed drumming behind it, with weird chanting over it. It also has the same atmosphere throughout the entire album, but is kinda hypnotic. I suppose I'll put the album away to be rediscovered later.

Yeah, the title of the song tells about everything. Viking-style singing, flutes, accordion, violins... and heavy electric guitars, base and fast drums with double-bassdrums. Turisas is a finnish folk-metal band, which has gotten some fame from its individual style using so much accordion and violin in metal music. Album "Battle Metal" released in 2004, new album "The Varangian Way" will be released in June 2007.

I just damn love this song, can't really wait for the new album.

A Pagan Place by the Waterboys.

Fuck I love the Waterboys. Mike Scott's never been afraid of running the risk that his reach might exceed his grasp - if he wants to write a big song then by god, he's gonna write a big song. Everything he writes is epic and intimate at the same time - his songs are absolutely unique in my experience, which must be the ultimate goal of any artist. The "classic four" Waterboys albums (the Waterboys, A Pagan Place, This Is the Sea, and Fisherman's Blues) are all unmistakably products of the 1980s, but they're all completely timeless too. The Waterboys' new album just got a five-star review last week in the Guardian (which usually has pretty good taste where music is concerned) and I can't wait until it gets released here.

Basically I'm saying I want everyone to go out and listen to the Waterboys.

EDIT: Kim, doood, for the longest time when somebody asked me what I listened to, I told them "Jazz, punk, and country."

On the way home from dinner I was listening to a tape in my car's tape deck that was unable to decide whether it was at the start or the end of the side, so it kept playing forwards, stopping, playing the other way, stopping, playing forwards and so on. One direction had loud squeaks from slightly dodgy drive mechanism. Each time it switched directions there was this mechanical sound of things moving and different gears engaging. As it played each direction briefly there was a short burst of that static that only a tape that's been sitting in a hot car for at least two months, often with a mobile phone sitting next to it with calls incoming can provide. All of this over the disjointed hum and buzz of a slightly sick cheap japanese 4 cylinder engine was just great.

These are sounds that I'll never be able to reproduce, let alone record, and even if I could it wouldn't have the same impact. I find these things are best when the are live, accidental and found. I'm gonna end up as one of those people who wonder about in crowded city streets or stand in peak hour traffic on the freeway doing field recordings of everything one day.

[edit]The tape was Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid's The Exchange Sessions (volumes one and two, side a and b) no less. I think that only makes the moment more incredible.

The Protomen - "Hope Rides Alone", "Unrest in the House of Light", and "Will of One".

The three tracks from the Protomen's site, which I found earlier today via Nuklearpower (thanks again, Brian!). I have to say, they're quite addictive. The straightforward RAWK licks aren't mind-boggling, although the Johnny Cash-style "Unrest in the House of Light" is surprisingly stylish. The spoken word narrative on Hope Rides Alone is a tad grating, but oddly compelling... actually, that describes all three tracks well. What is it about a neo-Orwellian rock opera about Megaman that speaks to me so much? Gads, I dunno, but I'm yeeeeaaaaaa close to picking this album up.

I just finished listening to the Hansome Furs' album, Plague Parks.  It is really excellent, similar to Wolf Parade's slower songs, but not completely the same.  It is a contender for one of my favourite albums so far of the year, we'll just see how it stands up to the test of time.

It is interesting Danish drone ambient. You can listen to some of it here (http://www.myspace.com/exquisiterussianbrides). In general Denmark has a small but good drone/noise "scene".

They're actually a Sonic Youth tribute band. At least in their first albums. I started litening to them from Melody Of Certain Damaged Lemons, that took me a few listens to start liking and a few more to love it. I'm now litening to Kazuality from Fake Can Be Just as Good.

I went for a walk and sat formore than half an hour in the little suburban park down the road from me just listening to whatever there was to hear. Initially it was just standing still for a second trying to tell if that wierd little bouncy sound was a duck or not but then I ended up just sitting and listening.

The frequent but not overpowering sound of cars on the big road behind me and when that was silent the dull drone of cars that counts for silence in cities. The sounds of the ducks and other birds on the water of the little pond; that bouncy sound and it's echoes, small splashes and paddling sounds. Rustling of foliage in the wind (a pretty constant wind and so a pretty constant texture from the reeds and things). Crickets and frogs that seem to make a similar highish rapid clicking texture that pulses in and out in unison but changes just enough that it doesn't feel like it adds a beat to the scenery. And every now and then there was a sharper, sparser rustle from the canopy of the small stand of trees I was sitting under followed by the light and sparse sound of whatever bits that fell off in the breeze hitting the ground.

I walked about fifteen metres and the sound of the place changed completely. All the elements were still there, but now in different proportions and with emphasis on different parts. I walked around listening in different spots. Here the cars seem louder, here theres the hollow hum of an electrical transformer box with the other sounds just an accent to it, here is similar to there except the echoes are more pronounced.

I want to record these things over the same period of time from different spots around there. I think it'd be interesting to see how different the same sounds would sound.

"On day zero my mother was expecting the worst
And out of my father?s ass I was born, feet first

Oh, no.

To be disposed of is what I was created for

Oh, no...[I?m sorry that I was born!]...so wrong!"

Cool idea.  I love doing this kind of thing.  One thing I've noticed is how good your ears / brain are at focusing on particular sounds, particularly when they pop up against a fairly consistent background of loud stuff.  I'll often be recording something, thinking how awesome one particular sound is, and it's only when I go home and try to isolate that moment that I realise that it's as good as lost under all the other noise that was happening at the time.

Destroyer 666 - Witch Hunter

I'm hooked on these guys at the moment, second album of their's for the night. I love the way  this last verse is sang, so catchy:


The first to cry and the first to fall
The first to come to the witch hunter's call
The first to curse whatever is free
The first to fight and the first to flee
The first to do whatever is done
The first to sing the witch hunter's song...

huh. Today just seems like a metal day. Unfortunately, I have no metal. In fact, the closest thing I have besides a live Iron Maiden song is a Slipknot CD.

So that's what I'm listening to. Effing Slipknot. Not that it's a bad thing, I just feel heavier than that.

God I need some Amon Amarth or something.

I love these guys so very very much. This song is one of the things that makes me want to get a 12-string, too, since the riff he's playing and the effect he uses makes it sound kindof like he's using one, even if it's not really the case. 12-strings make for some beautiful guitar runs.

Immortal - Moonrise Fields of Sorrow

I love this song so much, just the shear overblown "Immortalness" of it all, the drums are mixed so high, you struggle to hear any of the other instruments and they're just pounding away as fast as possible, it would seem absolutely ridiculous if anyone else tried it. Then you strain your ears and in the background Demonaz is just shredding it up playing insanely fast, and with Abbath snarling over the top it just works.

After playing it a couple of times it might well be my favourite already. New CD-age inspired me to bust out Eternal for old time's sake and this one just blows it clean outta the water. 'Promised Land' is a beast of a song. Awesome vocals too. They've finally hit the perfect balance of keyboard hits and chunky riffs, it's one hell of a CD.

Listening through again, I'm on 'Western Ground' at the mo.

Heroes.

Way before my time (like a lot of my stuff), but still, ever since I heard it, I can't help but think of it every time I hear anything remotely reminiscent of the phrase "we could be heroes."  At least this time it's a good song - I can't bear to hear the word "beautiful" anymore.

Also, greatest conservative rock songs?  "Won't Get Fooled Again" makes sense, as much as The Who would like to deny it, since it's basically a rock version of Reflections on the French Revolution (great, now I can't help but wonder what a rock song so entitled would sound like).  So does anything by Rush or Lynyrd Skynyrd, and maybe even "Taxman," but Heroes?  Really?

Be is by far my favorite POS album, as it represents an extreme departure from their previous sound, one that sets them apart from any other band I've ever heard. It's actually the album that sold me on the band. As soon as I heard the opening strains of Imago, there was no hope left for me.

I could have gone, easily, but I just couldn't be bothered. I still can't believe Grant McLennan's dead.  48! He should've had at least another twenty years in him. Life just isn't fair sometimes.

Anyway, this is a beautiful album. Go listen to it.

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

It's a solid album, but there's nothing really outstanding about it, IMHO. It's not something I'm really adverse to, but at the same time it doesn't leap out at me.

Freaking amazing band! Admittedly Million Year Summer hasn't impressed as much as the songs off Coma Waering, but I'll wait until I've got the record in my stereo, playing at a really loud volume before I pass Judgement.

If you haven't got any Angelic Process records, you're in for a great surprise. Crippled Healing in particular is an excellent song, but everything on the album is really solid. They have great song titles too.

True, but I think Million Year Summer is as good as Crippling Healing. I like that ethereal somewhat gothy vibe I get from it. I think the My Bloody Valentine comparison is quite apt. On related note, The coverart for Weighing Souls With Sand is absolutely gorgeous. I preordered it from The End Records.

Title: Re: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: Scytale on 18 May 2007, 05:43
"1184" or "Arntor Ein Windir" are both very good, Windir were one of the best Viking bands around.

edit: Actual now that I think about it the double cd "Valfar Ein Windir" is probably the best spot to begin, it was released after Valfar died as kind of a tribute, The first disc has the unfinished songs Valfar was working on when he died as well as a few live tracks and some pretty big bands like Enslaved, Fintroll, Emperor etc playing tribute with some cover songs and stuff. It's the more collectors sort of disc, the second disc is a pretty good "best off" has about three or four songs from each album on. That way you can work out which era you prefer.

Fushitsusha - Pathétique

Odd. Japanese rock noise with a deliberately tame rhythm section and Keiji Haino doing ungodly(but not very interesting) things to his guitar. One long noisy solo basically. I am no stranger to noise, or feedback for that matter, but the first part of this album just seems to lack ideas. Reminds me of the dull title track on Acid Mothers Temple's "Starless and Bible Black Sabbath". This last feedback barrage, all 44 min. of it, seems more worthwhile though.

It's easily becoming one of my favourite ones. It feels a lot more adventurous than Deadwing, good mix of influences while keeping their classic sound. Not quite up there with 'Stupid Dream' but top 3 material. "Anesthetize" (the 17 minute beast) gets a whole lot better with every listen.

I'm listening to the new Ozzy album this very moment. I got ahold of it last night, but kept getting sidetracked by Ninja Rap (Yes, I know, I have a fucking problem, what of it?!), somehow. Only a couple songs into it. It's not bad, but it's by no means anything inspired. So far, it seems like "Hey, it's Ozzy and Zakk Wylde...again..." It's essentially the same album he's put out three or four times since 1991. If I hadn't heard No More Tears, Ozzmosis, Down to Earth or pretty much any of the last four BLS albums, I'd probably appreciate it more. Some of it is pretty catchy, but I'll take Diary of a Madman or Mafia any day. Uh oh, gotta go, a solo just led into a chugging riff with that little guitar squeal that happens every seven or eight seconds.

At The Gates - The Architects


Ornaments in silent darkness,
The image of man now torn from its structure

The smell of need,
the dwarfed soul of man,
attuned only to flesh
suffering from frustration

Alien to our own spirits
We're naked even in death
The dawn is yet to come
To fill us with knowledge

Pulsating waves of colour,
bleeding off into the black
A whisper of red screams through the night
The architects and the flesh


Killer song from an awesome album.

No probs, the New Singer (I think she's from Greece) Is really good, they've certainly come along way fom when it was Protector's Sister singing in Silenius' basement...

If you are interested Protector's third band Ice Ages is pretty good as well, though I've only heard one album. It's a weird sort of EBM pretty interesting.

SynSun - Laser Show

Ukrainian psychedelic trance act. The first disc of this album is just fairly standard, albeit flawlessly-executed psy... the second cd is where it all gets interesting, shitloads of different influences all mashed up, it's got guitar solos and everything. This song sounds like Porcupine Tree flying through space. And they're robots. Or maybe some kind of aliens.

Misery Business- Paramore

I really REALLY didn't like it at first, but I listened to it a lot so I could get used to it and not feel miserable when they played it at the show.  I still think it's kind of stupid (sort of a less poppy version of Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend") and the video doesn't help, but it's a lot of fun to sing along to, and I think the singer has an amazing voice.

Entombed - Evilyn

I think those sound clips from horror movies(and The Wicker Man?) work really well. It's a step up from Left Hand Path but I am not sure why. Maybe because they are less frantic, nearer hard rock and thereby closer to Wolverine Blues. Maybe the songs are just better, the playing is certainly spectacular.

Hollenthon - Reprisal - Malis Avibus

These lyrics are amazing taken from Percy Shelley apparently


The ticking hour of Father Time releases memories locked in mind
A wandering beggar digging holes in all unspoken deeds of old
A yellow death lay on his face, a smile so fixed not of this race
Indeed he'd known where he would go, to where he feared it clearly showed

The devil I can safely tell
Has neither hoof, nor tail, nor sting
Nor is he, as some sages swear,
A spirit, neither here nor there
In nothing-yet in everything
He is what we are-a gentleman
A statesman spinning his web of crimes,
A swindler, living as he can

The ticking hour of Father Time released the memories locked in mind
The clock's monotonous tick obscured to most this man's so lonely cry
He'd said that with his clenched teeth, he'd seize the earth from underneath
He'd seize the earth from underneath, and drag it with him down to hell

Erik Truffaz - Les Nuits De Monsieur Naj

'k guys, this is a rather weird request, but I need some help. I'm trying to find a jazz CD prominently featuring a french horn, because french horns are just badass. Now I was told to get this CD, but it turns out it's just a French guy playing the horn (trumpet). Anyone know any good French hornists perchance?  :?
Title: Re: What are you listening to (and discuss it).
Post by: Misereatur on 28 May 2007, 10:24
Truffaz! I love that guy.

Sadly, he is one of the only french Jazz musicians that are rather well known. I'm sure there are a lot of great french Jazz players but they'll be hard to find. There is one I've seen a video of who plays a fusion/avant grade thing. Kind of like a modern Bitches Brew only in quintet form. It was pretty good but I forgot his name.

Just try to watch  a lot of Mezzo.

This is probably my favourite song off one of my favouritest records.

Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick / Leading the Rats


Will is yours? So, creator
No intent could shadow
My disease... Ever lusting pain

World of sickness
Blessed are we to taste
This life of Sin

Haha. I really have no idea about what genre this is or anything, I was just bored and reading that fourfa page that gets linked to in every damn internet spitting match about 'emo'... wound up downloading a couple of albums.

I really dig the CD and the vocals do kind of fit, so maybe I just need to get used to it. I'm not going to find anything with a vocalist easier on the ears then? :D

Morphine: Cure for Pain.

My god, I'd almost forgotten about this band until I was watching an old episode of Homicide: Life on the Street last night. That show always had such great music. I've realised recently that I have enough money now to buy all the music I loved back when I was a kid lying on my bedroom floor late on school-nights listening to the radio. Sometimes the music doesn't sound so good twelve years later - but Morphine were always pure sex and they always will be. In some ways the death of Mark Sandman still shocks and saddens me more than that of Kurt Cobain.

Anata - "The Conductor's Departure".

Totally unique technical Death Metal from sweden. What they bring, is a sense of melody and harmony you don't normally see in this genre. To me, they are masters of contrasting "pretty" and semi-jazzy melodies with the standard DM ugly tonalities, just listen to "Entropy Within" off their Myspace. The music ridiculously catchy as well, such as the downright beautiful outro riff of "Renunciation". Holy shit!

Yes - "Close To The Edge"

Fucking. Masterpiece.
I love love love love this record!

Atheist - "Unquestionable Presence"

Not much to say here, really. Some of the earliest true technical Metal put out, and still some of absolute best.
The heaviness also makes me wonder why I ever bothered detuning my guitars. These dudes play in E, and stuff like the intro to "Enthralled In Essence" is heavy as life.

Tool - Eulogy

I don't really like tool that much, but all my friends in high school were like "ZOMG!!! Tool" *orgasm* So I ended up buying quite a few of their cd's. I had the pleasure of seeing them live once and they were pretty good in that setting but on the whole I have a lot of trouble getting into their music, there's just something about it I'm missing, it's decent enough for the occasional listen but I'm rarely able to sit through a whole album without getting bored by it.

Saw them live on their most recent UK tour and they were pretty amazing. I went through a fanboy stage back in school but nowadays they're just a band I bust out every few months for nostalgia value :)

QOTSA - 3s and 7s

New album sounds promising so far, it's probably the closest thing to S/T they've done since that record, while still being new and interesting. Hell of a relief, I thought they'd totally lost the plot on Lullabies but Queens are back.

I really should get that album. I've got one of ALcest's demos, however, and it seems to be straight up raw BM. Oh well.

Speaking of Metal-Shoegaze, I'm listening to The Angelic Process's The Promise of Snakes. Their album Weighing Souls of Sand is definitely the best album of the year so far. Imagine Jesu, Sigur Ros, Neurosis and thousands of distortion pedals and you're quite close to the sound of this band.

Judas Iscariot - Writhing Upon The Wind At Mystic Philosophy And Dreams

I'm completely serious actually. Death,  Morbid Angel, Megadeth,  Dark Angel are all metal bands I love (from America), but none of those bands have anything on Judas Iscariot. something about the music I just really relate too. Especially on the first three JI albums for me it's almost Black Metal done almost perfectly.

The style he uses, with the simple minimal drums and the long drawn out and repetitive riffs it's just so minimal and expressive something just clicks. Black Metal's not about technically ability and playing 200 bpm, it's it's a form of expression and this is what he get's perfect.

The first 4 songs are marvellous. I still have Million Year Summer as song of the year so far. I like how they have become more melodic. Coma Waering only has shades of it and thus becomes a bit boring(to me at least). Sometimes their approach is bit preditable and bothers me a little. I'll listen some more shall I?

His pal(if kvlt bm musicians have those) Leviathan is just (as) ridiculous. He has an album called Tentacles of Whorror and a song entitled Fucking Your Ghost in Chains of Ice.
Despite this he has still made one of the greatest bm songs I have heard, Unfailing Fall Into Naught.

Leviathan are a pretty decent band actually. I haven't really heard much Xasthur, I have a copy of the album "Nocturnal Poisoning" but I'm not a huge fan, sounds like a lousy Burzum knockoff to me.

If you do like those bands I suggest checking out Abyssic Hate

Yes you shall. Dying in A-Minor and The title track are both amazing. I always thought The Promise of Snakes was better then Million Year Summer, but perhaps that's just me. I'm loving this album so much right now. It is a predictable, true, but it's still a fresh and unique sound and I don't mind if I music is a bit predictable.

Anyway, right now I'm listening to Nightmare Heaven by Arcturus. I love the trip-hop break in the middle.

Ten thousand trolls, hard as rock, cold as ice
Oh, they ran when I rose to face them
Ten hungry waves they swallowed my ship
Oh, I steadily walked home (and I only got wet on my feet)

Oh no, no single question I cannot answer

And that is the eye of Satan

Kylesa - Shatter the Clock

Some of the best sludge metal I have heard. A bit on the arty side, somewhat similar to Baroness. The three vocalists approach works quite well. Its a mix of hardcore shouting and gruff doom vocals plus a pinch of growling. And one of them is female too. They interspace their relentless attack with some ethereal interludes and it gives a really evocative vibe.

Between the trees we are imprisoned
In this God's glade It burns it scorches
When the light licks our flesh

Tormented by God's goodness
No flame no hate
They were right we have come to Hell

Take my hand and please walk with me.

Birushanah - Akai Yama(excerpt)

I have just ordered their new album "Akai Yama" from Australia. They are a Japanese six-piece who play sludge metal with metal percussion and take inspiration from traditional music, complete with manic japanese vocals. In other words it is incredible.

Charlie Parker: volume 2 of the east coast Dial sessions, featuring J.J. Johnson.

What can I say? It's just perfect music. This volume contains an unusually high number of ballads: everyone knows Charlie Parker was wonderful, but his ballad playing is too overlooked, I think. Just as with the rest of his music, he completely re-defined the approach to playing a jazz ballad, and came out with something new and beautiful and incredibly moving.

Oh man this is so good. I haven't listened to this properly for so long. So fucking good. One single 40 minute long song. Melodic Death Metal meets prog rock with a seasoning dash of goth. Opeths entire career outdone just as they were releasing their second album. I might just upload this, because anyone with even a passing interest in metal needs to hear this.

Emperor - Beyond the Great Vast Forest

Masterful my favorite Emperor song, it's really interesting listening to the demo version and comparing it to the final version that ended up on In the Nightside Eclipse, the keys just propel the song into unparalled heights of awesomeness, the transformation is masterful, the whole riff that underpins the song, with the synth strings and the choir comming in over the top it's just majestic I don't know a better word to describe it. It really pisses me off when I hear people sneering at the use of keyboards in Black Metal, this album is proof of the wonders they can achieve.

Everytime I try and think of it, I come up with more examples of how, tastefully integrated, keyboards can make for awesome Black Metal than I do examples of how keyboards can ruin BM. It could of course have something to do with my tastes (I like Theatres Des Vampires, though I don't exactly consider them true norsk arysk black metal). 'In The Nightside Eclipse' and Sigh's 'Scorn Defeat' are always the first examples I bring up to the haters.

Deströyer 666 - Phoenix Rising

Destroyer 666 mix equal parts Black Metal Thrash and Nietzsche to produce some truly excellent metal. These guys are one of the greatest bands i have ever seen live the intensity of their show is just amazing, I just wish they would hurry up and release something new it's been 5 years since "Cold Steel for an Iron Age" was released


Oh to see our death as majesty
To look beyond our mortal tragedy
Set adrift on seas of infinity
Oh to see the terror of eternity...
before our eyes

Oh to be reborn in fire
Oh to reap the reward of power
Oh to be a sacrifice, a sacrifice...
To a god who sees through our eyes
to a higher self

"Let us chase the sky obscurers,
world blackeners, cloud procurers,
Let us clear the realm of heaven,
Let us roar with free spirits, who are beast,
Roars my bliss, as if storm driven" (Nietzsche)

Through the seas of bitter tears
Unto our death without fear
Sink in to the glowing flames
Knowing I will live again

I can feel the burning fire
Burning all I have been
As the flames take me higher
Rising on the burning wings...

RISING!

I'm listening to the (relatively) new Cradle of Filth album Thornography. I am incredibly impressed. More than anything it reminds me of Principle of Evil Made Flesh or Vempire mixed with 80s Thrash/Electro Goth. I can't for the life of me understand why nobody likes this album (though I accept that people don't). I have made it my study album for Statistics.

Holy crap, I just realised I still haven't listened to that album. I bought it six months ago.

They're a laff.

I listen to a lot of BM and I'm not a  fan of COF at all. Probably doesn't help that they absolutely butchered one of my favorite songs (Hallowed be Thy Name). Cruelty and the Beast, the album about Elizabeth Bathory had some ok moments but not enough to really sell me on the band.

Post by: KharBevNor on 18 Jun 2007, 08:30
I can never hold that cover against them, because its the song that got me in to Iron Maiden in the first place. My early explorations into music were conducted in an extremely illogical and haphazard manner. Cradles covers actually helped me discover quite a few good bands: The Misfits, The Sisters of Mercy, Anathema, Sodom, Sabbat and Venom as well as Maiden. Not to mention the fact that Cradle of Filth were at least partly responsible for BOTH resurrections of Sabbat (The fact that Martin Walkyier recorded a song with them abrogates some of my guilt in liking them.) I'm not an obsessive fan of Cradle, but I will defend them to a good extent, especially to the extent to which their music has been critically misread. People on both sides of the fence often treat them as if they were trying to be members of the 'inner circle'. Never the case.

I get your point about the vocals.

Methinks you're missing the point of Black Metal...

Failing that, perhaps you're just missing the point of CoF. I don't know but I've always absolutely loved the vocals and Dani Filth is probably one of the biggest musical influences for my role as a BM vocalist. I might just have a soft spot for the band in general as they were the first band I ever heard that wasn't the shit that they play on the radio stations my mum would make me listen to as a kid (Read Christian Radio). The Forest Whispers My Name was the song that got me into Metal when I was about 10. The only real criticism I have for Thornography is that they have the dude from HIM on it. And I hate that band. Hate hate hate.

I also just bought Year Zero (the new NIN album) and it's quite good. I'd say it's on par with With Teeth which I enjoyed but it's not their best album. It's not bad, but they've done much better.

ahh I can't stand he's voice at all sorry :(

BM vocalists I really like are Nocturno Culto from Darkthrone and Tom G Warrior from Hellhammer/ Celtic Frost for the raspy style and  Ihsahn from Emperor for the more "shrieked" style.

For the sheer intensity of he's vocals my favorite has to be Varg from Burzum. The guy puts everything into he's vocals, listen to tracks like "Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament"  that track gives me the shivers...

Samael - Total Consecration

Nice bit of piano ambiance, with rather creepy\cheesy lyrics chanted over the top

"From the north, from the south
From the west, from the east
I summon you, god of the pit
Come to us, infernal legions

Satan, father of men, god of gods
Take a look at your children
Tonight, they give you their souls"

Fair enough, I'd definitely agree with that :P I like the instrumentals on some of the tracks (Amor E Morte has some decent guitar work) but I just can't get past Dani's yelping. I can deal with the more growly style on most BM but it's just that high-pitched screeching that gets to me. Not my thing :)

Fuckin' love this album, really heavy and energetic. Not really worth starting a standalone recommendation thread but could anyone suggest any metal in a similar vein? Great stuff.

Neurosis - Origin

Given to the Rising is probably one of the best albums of 2007. Steve Albini has done some pretty good work with them, but it still got that Neurosis sound.

In short: this is a good record! Go buy it, guys.

Man, I thought All Pigs Must Die was pretty weak. I'm not as vitriolically opposed to it as some reviews I've read, but I definitely wouldn't have it up there with my favourite Di6 tunes (Rose Clouds of Holocaust, Little Black Angel, He's Disabled, Of Runes & Men, C'est Un Reve, She Said Destroy, Christine The Lizard, Symbols of the Sun, Heaven Street). The music lacks a certain bite, and the lyrics a certain depth, to my mind.

For probably the same reason as Kai, I am also listening to Death in June atm.

Have you heard Starless & Bible Black Sabbath? is it a representative album of their work? because I thought it was rather weak. Well with the exception of Woman From A Hell. The title track was as boring a psych-freakout as I have ever heard. Probably not the best album to start with I suppose.

From Vespertine.

I don't know if I'm just in the wrong mood, or something, but the beginning of this song was almost annoying to me. Probably just me. At any rate, it gets more involved in the middle and sort of peaks, then levels off quite nicely.

I am currently listening to HelloGoodbye - Touchdown Turnaround.

I know what your thinking, don't think that.

Generally, I think this band is gonna have some bad press, just because "trendwh0res" are gonna catch onto their vast popularity bandwagon type thing. Mostly emo/scene kids.

But at the same time, in my school, they are hugely popular.

But the album is too cute and makes me happy. =]]

Fucked Up- Hidden World

Toronto Hardcore Band, and one of the most mysterious bands you will ever hear. Not mysterious like GWAR "Are they serious?" mysterious, or ? and the Mysterians- I mean intricate, complex layerings, punk songs that routinely exceed 5 minutes, and make reference to Biblical verses as well as the works of Henry Darger.

From a German interview-"Fucked Up sounds like the guy who stood in front of that tank in Tiennamen square, or we sound like the last breath taken by a fallen soldier after she's been shot with a Jewish-bought Kalishnikov. We sound like an eagle flying through the air at 200mp to make a kill only to fly right into a skyscraper of death and thump on the sidewalk. Our sound is like when your criminal father gets rejected for a bank loan to invest in conflict diamonds in Sierra Leon. Fucked up sounds like the sound it makes when a Black man beats a Chinese prostitute. Our sound has been described as what it must have sounded like to hear Alexander the Great call his soldiers "pussies" or Napolean call the Russian army "a bunch of faggots". An old woman once told me that to her Fucked Up sounded like the sounds her stomach made after she accidentally ate rat poison because she was senile and didn't know any better and there was no one to take care of her anyway because the rest of her family abandoned her because she is really racist and homophobic and once threw a loaf at her grandsons boyfriend at a christmas dinner because she just doesn't understand that society is changing."- 10,000 Marbles (Guitar)

I've seen the album compared, in terms of symbolism and general intent, favorably to "In an Aeroplane Over the Sea".

Teddy Wilson trio with Jo Jones: Complete Recordings, disc 1.

Copyright expiration has hit the late 50s, and we're seeing masses and masses of great jazz get reissued by specialist labels that pick up recordings that have otherwise been neglected for years. Teddy Wilson is possibly my favourite pianist, and it's hard for me to imagine anything more pleasurable than three discs of him backed by the legendary drummer Jo Jones. Sure, there's nothing revolutionary in these recordings (well, unless you count Jones's ground-breaking use of the hi-hat to keep the beat, but by the time these recordings were made he'd been doing that for over twenty years), just consistently excellent small-group swing. Sometimes elegance and taste is all you need.

I really like this band, but I think it would sound cooler with super distorted guitars instead of synths. Perhaps that's just me, though.

Also guys, don't forget about the "and discuss it" part of this thread. I know I'd like to know a little bit more about the artists you dudes mention.

Jawbreaker - Sluttering


I've never been a huge fan of Dear You, but it does have some excelllent tunes. Sluttering is probably one of the most vicious songs i know and although it is a horrible feeling it is a feeling most people will feel at least once.

History Song - The Good, the Bad, and the Queen

Because I just rediscovered the album under a pile of stuff. And I love it, more than I realised. I sort of gave it a listen through a few times, wrote it off as something I wouldn't actively often listen to, as it was good, but nothing stood out. I don't know what was up with me at that point, I reaaaally love this album now.

Sunspot - "Neanderthal".  Their latest album, *no* relation to the Geico commercials.  Don't let Pintsize listen to the title track!  I follow these guys (two guys and a gal, actually) around when I can...

Sunspot (http://www.sunspotmusic.blogspot.com (http://www.sunspotmusic.blogspot.com))  is a Madison-WI based power trio that describe themselves as "arena rock for geeks".  Other songs include "Prozac Girl", "Scott Backula", and "Summer Day".  I think their logo would look great on Martin's next t-shirt... :wink:

To my mind Mixmag always do great front CDs, and keep them quite varied. This is certainly the best one since the Claude Von Stroke one a few months back. It's quite funky and heavy but still oh so danceable. My favourite track so far? Walk Through by Trash Talk

Diplo's BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix, 16/09/07. Rather good, although occasionally patchy. It has a choral version of The Knife's Heartbeats, which is the song that got me into music, and thus I squealed with delight. Also, M.I.A.'s Boyz and Battles' Atlas (I think, definitely a Battles song, but it's not on the tracklist) works together very nicely.

I think I've got something to do between 2 and 4 am of a Sunday morning now.

A mix I made entitled "Country That Does Not Make Me Want to Jam Sharp Pointy Objects Into My Ears."

At least two songs each by Son Volt, Old 97's (my favorite alt-country band--there are four songs by them on the CD), Neko Case, Drive-By Truckers, The Avett Brothers, Wilco, Johnny Cash, and Ryan Adams.

It was only after I burned it that I realized I completely forgot about Uncle Tupelo and The Jayhawks, but there wouldn't have been enough room on the CD anyway.

This lot are pure cheese, really dodgy synthpop, but just short enough of embarrassing to be really enjoyable. This one (brand new release) sounds a lot more coherent and consistent than their previous effort, which was already great.

Manfred Mann's Earth Band [and Manfred Mann Chapter 3] -> Odds and Sods: Mis-takes and Out-takes -> Turn you away from my door

Chapter 3 was not a very successful group; they made two albums before folding; this is one piece from an unreleased album. It is an incredibly awesome and rollicking song. If all of their songs had this air to them (there's even a guitar solo in here, which I thought they swore off) they could have gone somewhere, just like the other two Mann/Hugg groups (the ones that respectively had Do Wah Diddy Diddy and Just Like a Woman).

My little sisters well into Muse. The only song of there's I've heard I thought was any good is 'Knights of Cydonia', probably because it's such a big Ennio Morricone rip-off.

I dunno though, I can have pauline moments with bands like this. I used to think Placebo were complete shit, and now I have all their singles.

Currently listening to Suicide Commando - Mordfabrik

and, wait, it's switched

Inkubus Sukkubus - Midnight Queen

God, this band is so good. But I can't really work out why! They should be so laughable, but they're not. I think it's probably the religious thing. Once a teenage wiccan, always a teenage wiccan.

Yasushi Ishii - Musical Play Smiling Rebellious Flower

I cannot understand why Yashushi Ishii seems literally to have just written one soundtrack, and then done almost nothing else, apart from a few appearances on compilations and whatnot.

KT Tunstall- If Only

That's some good folk pop. I personally can't listen to stand her more popular singles ("Black Horse and the Cherry Tree", "Suddenly I See", etc) as they've been overplayed, but I found myself humming along to this one. I agree with Entertainment Weekly, she's the "lass to know."

PS: She gets bonus points for admitting that she looks like a "cat's arse" when she poses (or purses) for pictures, babbling about beer, cussing in interviews, and overall just being Scottish.

Currently listening to a dark ambient artist called Deaf Center, and the albums I'm spinning are "Pale Ravine" and the "Neon City" ep.

Here's a description of the band....

Quote
After the critical acclaim of their Neon City EP, Pale Ravine is the long awaited full-length realization of Erik Skodvin and Otto Totlands musical ideals. Taking up where Neon City left off with its epic sound collages and textural soundscapes, Pale Ravine manages to provide a sound altogether more Lynchian and grimly cinematic. Using influences from further back in their lives, the two Norwegian musicians have looked deep into their own family histories to piece together a dusty and nostalgic epic.

Inspired by old silent 8mm film reels, the historical architecture around them and the call of the alluring Norwegian landscape, the duo set out armed with microphones to record whatever they could to capture these feelings. Sounds from battered old records, cash registers, broken machines and a half-dead piano were all blended into the mix to add a warm, homely depth to the recordings. These sounds are most evident in the track Loft, where knocks and wooden creaks give an almost claustrophobic feel to the music. Again on The Clearing a subtle field recording gives the track a rich and involving background and helps build up the mysterious aura before launching a skewed 1930s circus-waltz.

One of the most stand-out influences on Pale Ravine is theatre, or at least the romance of all things theatrical. Not so much theatre in all its pretentious excesses, but the childhood apprehensiveness and the sinister undercurrents. From the muffled ticket booth ambience of Lobby to the solemn dance of White Lake it all appears draped in thick billowing velvet. The dense narrative technique the duo employs is almost like a reverse to a silent film the soundtrack is provided to be accompanied by the imaginative visuals of the listener.

Pale Ravine is an album which again manages to blend elements of classical music with electronic music, yet there is something decidedly different which sets it apart from the competition. While there are elements that can be compared with contemporaries such as Max Richter, Marsen Jules or Ryan Teague Deaf Center is altogether more other-worldly, darker and ultimately very rewarding.

Seriously?

Would you believe, "American Pie"?

Haha, this is a beautiful song with such great melody.

That song is part of my childhood, my dad always played when i was kid.

I'm listening to to Surf City Eastern Block, sad but summery.

I've been listening to Ratatat's 'Classics' album...
No vocals, just music to dance to when the need strikes. And listening to this album does make the need strike often....

I've also recently been obsessing over Stars' 'In our bedroom after the war' album after going to their show at Seattle's Showbox at the Market the day after my anniversary....

My auditory needs are fickle....

If you know of Ratatat, try some Kenna... but he has more of a hip-hop feel and lyrics to boot...

He was at Live Earth, he was pretty cool.

You Don't Have to Let Go- Jessica Simpson

Yes she's an airhead, and no I don't believe she had much to do with writing this song even though she has songwriting credit, but it's a beautiful song in which she actually uses that amazing voice of hers.

The Dillinger Escape Plan - Jim Fear

I'm never going to understand what went wrong with DEP after Irony Is a Dead Scene. How can a band descend into self parody after 2 EPs and an LP? Sighhh...

Dungen's "Tio Bitar"

I like everything about Dungen.  The drums make me happy.  I wish I knew Swedish, but it really doesn't matter.

Jay Chou - 牛仔很忙 (pretty much "A Cowboy's Very Busy," I think)


Perhaps the only Chinese country/western tune in existence. (I speak preemptively, though.)

If there was any possible way for me to share this, I would.

I like that song!

A friend of mine got mad at another friend of mine for saying that song had a country sound.  Denial.

The "Casiotone for the Painfully Alone" album Twinkle Echo. As terrible as this one mans band's name is, Owen Ashworth creates really pretty/sad electro pop songs with pretty great lyrics. He also puts on a cool live show. This is a darn good album.

Of Montreal - "The Past Is a Grotesque Animal"

Seriously, Of Montreal should make more long songs like this one. A lot more. It's awesome.

Holy shit. For some reason I've always been of the opinion that Of Montreal weren't 'my thing' and just kinda ignored them, for years. I got the latest one from the Sendspace thread on a whim, just finished listening to this song and it's epic. Absolutely blinding.

Strangely, I've had a very similar experience lately. I never thought I liked Of Montreal even though I never really listened to them. I got most of their albums from a friend of mine and, just a few minutes in, I was kicking myself for not listening to them sooner. Truly great stuff. They're definitely one of the more interesting and better "indie-pop/rock" bands that have found popularity in the genre.
On topic: I'm listening to a mix of Mountain Goats, Mount Eerie, Iron and Wine, Songs: Ohia and a few others. At the moment the rather irritating song "Dance Music" by The Mountain Goats is on.
