Seefeel - Time to Find Me [AFX Fast Mix]
Iggy Pop- Nightclubbing (from The Idiot)
The fan in my computer, whirring too loudly.
I haven't heard the new one yet either, but Easter was a pretty good record. "Horse Girl" is an awesome song.
Easter is pretty rad, I haven't heard the latest, or anything about it really.
In Our Bedroom After the War by Stars.<_<
My absolute favorite band.
If you have not heard them yet, I recommend you go do so.

rise against - "appeal to reason"
better than i'd been led to believe, but seems a bit flat after having listened to "revolutions per minute" earlier today...
Bomb.Repeat.Bomb - Ted Leo
anti-war statement songs awwww yeah
Cassius 1999 remix (the 9 minute long version!) on repeat.
Fuck this song is so awesome.

I can't seem to make myself take Okkervil River - The Stand Ins out of my car CD player.
"Vicarious" by Tool
"Vicarious" by Tool
hell of a song, you ever tried playing it? the timings are crazy. the drummer from my old band pretty much doubled his skill level by continually trying until he could play vicarious all the way through.
Margot & the Nuclear So and So's- " A Sea Chanty of Sorts"
I have been obsessed with this song lately. It is so gorgeous.
Sparrows Swarm and Sing, motherfuckers.
It's so sad that they broke up.
What about bands who already have it like Jackie-O Motherfucker?
"Bookworm" is probably the prettiest song on the whole album, though.
Sculptured - EmbodimentDamn straight it is. Not many people would like it, though.
(amazing) side project of Agaloch's Don Anderson
I've recently discovered 65daysofstatic. YUSSS.
Bob Marley - "Buffalo Soldier" (among others.)
Sadly, Ive been trying to find the song about the two birds. You know the one off of I am Legend? For some reason I cannot remember the song title. In searching, Ive found numerous other great tracks, but this one eludes me.
That'd be the song "Three Little Birds", off Exodus.
De El...
I'll throw it up in the med!afire thread in the next couple of days. Sorry it can't be sooner, I'm just a little swamped right now.
I don't know what my co-worker is listening to, but it's making my toes curl. I think it's Hinder.
HHGRRMGGRRRR
I feel a headache coming on.
Vangelis - Love theme
sudden urge to learn to play saxophone
All the versions I have of Love Will Tear Us ApartAt once?!
There's also "not getting it".
Of all the things I've uploaded to the mediaf!re thread Stockhausen's Gruppen (orchestral, not electronic, that one) is one of the most downloaded, and Kontakte (electronic with added instruments) makes a good showing too.
and judging albums by how many people download it, is like saying all best-selling records are brilliant. kid rock sells millions of records, is he a musical genius?
Stuffs.
i've heard several pieces of music by Stockhausen and similarly, John Cage, and i've read about their approaches to composition and the theories and ideas they were using. i find it, for the most part, fascinating. i understand what they were trying to do.
however, for me, music is about enjoyment of the sound, and emotional impact. this is why i don't like Stockhausen's music (or at least what i've heard so far) - taken purely as a piece of music, i do not find it enjoyable to listen to,
the result of an experiment makes it seem a little clinical and thus not very emotionally affecting.
i just felt that what pwhodges said came off as kinda pretentious.
All worthwhile music in any period is an experiment - if the composer/performer is not pushing the boundaries somewhere then the result will ultimately be bland and uninteresting.
Peach, do you have anything better to do than post what you are listening to every five minutes? :|
dear keri,I don't spend much time on the computer at all, only late at night when I'm about to go to bed. I write in my journal everyday, and I don't want to re-read Twilight, again
go outside? write in your journal? re-read twilight?
or if you're going to post this often, at least make sure your posts have substance to them. worked for me when i was new.

Agalloch. Again. When there is no life left in the universe, Ashes Against the Grain will be playing.Damn straight. Maybe From Which Of This Oak will spin into existence once in a while too. I want the demonstration archive, does anyone have it yet? I would really like to have those songs completely legally.
Bon Iver, because my classmates are bitching about Will Sheff's voice and won't let me play Okkervil.

Do You Fear What I Fear? by Jennifer Taub and Josh Thoemke, from the album Khar uploaded for Christmas last year, A Very Scary Solstice.
Basically it is a Christmas album with traditional Christmas songs, except the lyrics have been changed to revolve around the H. P. Lovecraft universe: Cthulu, Yog-Sothoth and Shoggoths are all recurring themes.
It is the best thing ever. I think the link might be dead, if people want me to I can re-up it.

You Don't Know Jesus is one of the best songs Mogwai has written
(It was just a Venture Bros. reference, dude.)
And even so, where did you get such information that Station to Station is meant to be cheesy? Bowie admits that it's influenced by funk and soul and German electro and whatnot, but there's nothing to indicate it's "meant to be cheesy." It's also one of his very best albums. I'd say only behind Low. And just ahead of Ziggy.

Dazed and Confused, by Led Zeppelin.
You've managed to win me the support of the Christian right and the Cheech and Chong fan club in the same day.
The Mr. Bungle self-titled.
Edit: Listened to a bunch more Mike Patton stuff and now I can't get fucking "Epic" out of my head.
speaking of Mike Patton, does anybody like the A Perfect Place soundtrack?
I'm listening to it right now and it's awesome :-D
"the love song" by Bill bailey
if you haven't heard it, well it manages to make deers falling into ravines and ducks being killed into something tragic, beautiful and utterly hilarious.
what's it like? y'know, in comparison to his other stuff?
This might be a bit cheeky but I actually am listening to Let It Be.
Chesney Hawks - I am the One and Only
Oxford Comma - Vampire Weekend
i really need more vamp weekend.
Just picked up:And a beat up and used copy of EA Vajagic's Stand in the Stillness of This Day for like, eight bucks. The cover is scuffed to shit, but the disc is perfect. It was a happy day....despite the um, content.
Burning Airlines- The Deluxe War Baby
One of my favorite songs of all time. Every time I hear it I play air drums along with the chorus.
Burning Airlines have nothing but good songs. Both Mission:Control! and Identikit are amazing. I can't believe they aren't more sorely missed.
Eno+Cluster - the bell dog
He Is Legend - "Stranger Danger"
the little chorus guitar lead towards the end is sweeeeeeeeeeet
Idlewild- Little Discourage
It amazes me how much the dude sounds like Michael Stipe on this song.
jawbox - "for your special sweetheart"
jawbox - "for your special sweetheart"
awww man...i bought this new when i was in high school and is still one of the only discs i've kept from that era as my listening habits have changed so drastically; mainly because it's just so awesome and as some of the weirdest song titles EVER. ff=66? what the hell? am i not getting a reference?
"Boy With a Coin" Iron & Wine
Sam Beam is so fucking fantastic that it makes my ears weep with joy.
The first Dresden Dolls album is pretty solid. I enjoy listening to it, even though it is a little rougher and more unfinished-sounding than their next two albums.
Definitely give it a listen, as it's a real gem compared to other artist/band debuts.
So, funny story.
"if it kills you" by drive like jehu.
surely i can't be the only one who prefers the self-titled album to "yank crime"?

Neko Case - Hold On, Hold OnWoot Woot, favorite song off of the album.
Hoover- Distant
I keep listening to this album and get interrupted to do something after the first three songs. This time I swear I am listening the whole way through.
*snip*
They were from the DC Post-Hardcore scene along with Fugazi, but suffice it to say it's a different flavor thereof. The guitar riffs are pretty angular, the quiet parts contemplative and ominous, their bassist became a member of the fucking awesome June of 44, etc etc etc. Give it a listen, it's pretty good.

Have you heard the cover done by the ebm/goth band Marian's Joy? It's utterly fantastic.
Now listening to:
Skinny Puppy - Remission (just got the six track vinyl; 1984 synths for yes!)
Bitcrush - Epilogue in Waves (I suggest this to anyone who likes mogwai or the like. Mike Cadoo used to front Gridlock but now does these beautiful, lush and dreamy albums)
Stendeck - Sonnambula
edawink
I'll put the bitcrush album into the mediaf!re thread later on this afternoon. it was on my top ten list for best albums of 2008....it's just amazing.

"Like An Ever Flowing Stream"
Heaviest music I've ever heard in my life.

"...And The Battle Begun" - Rx Bandits
You know, for a ska band, they don't sound much like the shitty crack-happy "WHOO AND NOW HERE'S SOME TROMBONES FOR YOU" ska like you'd hear on an Aquabats record.

If you haven't already, check out "The Answer is Never" by Howards Alias. they are (or were - split up now...) the UK's answer to Rx Bandits.

I listened to that album. Good tunes, but those guys could've used a better producer. Definitely a little weak compared to my beloved Bandits. Still, really good shit.
Shit, son. I'm listening to "Great Communicator" right now. He's playing about an hour from here in June and I REALLY want to go see that!

Isn't that the theme song to Mission Hill? It's great.
I'm listening to a bunch of Songs: Ohia albums. I'm on Ghost Tropic (probably my favorite) right now. Is it just me or does Jason Molina pretty much destroy Will Oldham?
Why does it have to be a competition?
Where is the best place to start if one were wanting to get into Mr. Oldham, i know there are a shit-ton of albums so narrowing it down to 2 or 3 would be great.
The only one I've heard is Joya.
ISIS - Wavering Radiant
Holy shit it's definitely just as good if not better than Panopticon. YES. Expect it on Mediaf!re soon.

I'd check out 'I see a Darkness' which, I believe, was his first album recorded as Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. It's pretty excellent, probably my favorite album of his. I haven't heard his newest album, 'Beware,' yet but 'Lie Down in the Light' left me pretty cold. Stick with the older stuff at first, is my advice.

unless i have them mixed up with someone else, it might be because they're signed to Korn's record label... it's more than likely that people would dismiss them when they heard about the Korn association. what sort of stuff do they play?
and on topic, i'm rocking out to some Night Marchers! anything involving John Reis is always gonna be good!
Kylesa's "Static Tensions" - where having two drummers stops being a gimmick and just fucking slays.
Hot Water Music - "The New What Next"
such an underrated album.
i'm gonna be sick of these by the time it comes to mixing and mastering them :x
The Bye Bye Blackbirds - Honeymoon.
You may have heard Patrick or Valley Parade talking about this. The talk is well deserved. Not only sweet album art but also a really great songs.
Listen to it too.
Rocking some Chopin
Rocking some Chopin
What Chopin? My piano teacher recorded the Op10 and Op25 Études three times (the third when he was 79); also the complete Mazurkas (included one extra one he reconstructed from the surviving sketches) and various miscellaneous pieces.
Just some CD of a 'best of' which always struck me as sort of odd to put out for a classical composer. Or, funnier yet, "BEETHOVEN'S GREATEST HITS" or something to that effect cracks me up. I wasn't aware Beethoven made the radio in his day.
Now playing: The Venture Bros.: The Music of JG Thirlwell. Best animated show on TV. Easily the best TV soundtrack, animated or otherwise.
I seem to remember hearing that he did the soundtrack somewhere else. I'm putting it on my list of music to look for, as I've heard a little of his stuff and really enjoyed it (especially his remix of Manson's "Beautiful People").

Well, that was easy (http://www.amazon.com/Stand-By-Me-LP-Version/dp/B00122C18E) (though not free). Maybe you can find the album it's on.
...fucking drum machine...Fight you, sir.
you're not honestly saying that real drums wouldn't have been better than the drum machine they used?! i'm not trashing drum machines in general, but for rock music, they rarely work well.
does a rock drummer NEED 600 kits?! and the whole "never misses a practice" etc. thing implies that ALL human band members would be better off replaced by programmed instruments!rock and roll is ever changing.
now i'm not trashing drum machines at all, but actually listen to "generation terrorists," the manic street preachers album that i mentioned - for that genre of music, it just sounds WRONG with a drum machine.
Also my drum machine also plays all my keyboard parts. While "pounding" the "skins."

CKY - "Suddenly Tragic"
this band seem to get so much shit for having been connected to jackass etc. but they're legitimately a great band. haven't listened to them in ages for some reason, forgot how awesome their stuff is.
Passport Radio - Broken Social Scene
It's pretty awesome how good their first album is; I guess I should expected such from them.
that CKY one i mentioned is from the last album "An Answer Can Be Found." Which I'm listening to again now!
the only song i've heard from the new one is "hellions on parade" which someone put a very low-quality rip of onto youtube. it was pretty cool, and had a random synth solo-ey bit!

No accounting for taste I guess, but I think they stack together well. It might have to do with the fact that in the spectrum of music I listen to (ie: heavy to soft, melodic to screaming) those 2 songs aren't really that far apart, least not to my ears.
another one i found odd yet appropriate, was when darkness falls-killswitch engage, followed by Remember -josh groban- live at the greek, and finally Coffee-Aesop Rock....
somehow... they all made since being together... to me. everyone else probably thinks I'm nuts!

dude is a LEGEND. me and a few mates (including a vocalist who looks very like mr. lynch) covered "kill a kitten" at a talent show back in high school; we upped the heaviness somewhat and had a MASSIVE comedy guitar solo thing where we had to physically restrain the guitarist from carrying on with it - it was funnier than that sounds... we won the shit right out of that talent show!

Yes, I actually enjoy their latest album without any shame!
I'm surprised they haven't just coopted the music they've written as the Foxboro Hot Tubs and just used that. Because that shit is pretty fucking excellent.

Been a while since I posted in this thread, so why not do it tonight!
Currently rocking a playlist in iTunes that I titled "ROAR!" - this list consists of only 3 albums; "Wake/Lift" by Rosetta, "Oceanic" by Isis, and "A Sun That Never Sets" by Neurosis. The more clever of you may divine the fact that this goes in reverse order of which band begat which other band.
All three of them are good!

Right now, Jesus Christ Superstar with Ian Gillan as Jesus.
Cannot get over his voice.
In 1940, Olivier Messiaen (1908-92) was interned in a German prison camp, where he discovered among his fellow prisoners a clarinettist, a violinist and a violoncellist. The success of a short trio which he wrote for them led him to add seven more movements to this Interlude, and a piano to the ensemble, to create the Quartet for the End of Time. Messiaen and his friends first performed it for their 5000 fellow prisoners on January 15, 1941.

Right now, Jesus Christ Superstar with Ian Gillan as Jesus.
Cannot get over his voice.

i can beat that, in a bad way...
I'm listening to Ecco the Dolphin: The Split stream of time by Viper.fox....
Are you beating Jesus Christ Superstar, or Zelda?
Just joking. That is good. Together we can form a video game music nerd trifecta and take over the world! Or at least annoy the hell out of Koji Kondo by continously sending him letters for his autograph!
Right now - Duck Hunt Theme
And by the time I finished typing that, it was over. Now:
Neil Young - Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black)
im currently listening to Crumb Duck, the Stereolab/Nurse With Wound collab. cant find many people who like it, but i love it for some reason.Wow, I'd love to hear that.
http://www.mediaf!re.com/?cmjmuym0cmbRadio Soulwax
I find that with a lot of Spencer Krug songs, the more I like the title, the more I'm going to like it. This time, it's "Apollo and the Buffalo and Anna Anna Anna Oh!"
"Two-Headed Boy" - Neutral Milk Hotel
I got this album because I know how much 4chan hates it and I decided to give it a shot. Kiiiiiiinda dig it.
Mos Def- Casa Bey
Some pretty great beats on the new Mos album.
Strung Out - "Blackhawks Over Los Angeles"
I have literally no explanation for why I slept on this record for so long; I LOVED Exile In Oblivion, then just...kinda forgot about them.
They have one of the strangest guitar sounds I've ever heard in any band. Dunno if the guitarist picks with a coin or something, but every time he picks a note, it sounds really, really strange when the pick hits the strings.

I use everything I can fucking find for a pick. Paperclips, toothpicks, quarters, beef jerky...
Does the jerky give you a tough, meaty sound? LOLOLOL

Dancing int Dark by Bruce Springsteen.
Heeeeey Baby!
Dancing int Dark by Bruce Springsteen.
Heeeeey Baby!
All right.
Bruce Springsteen - Thunder Road
Nekromantix... gargoyles over copenhagen...
...
well, I like it.. and thats all that matters!
Monteverdi - L'Orfeo
In some respects the first opera, this sits on the cusp of the renaissance and the baroque. Even the way it is written and the instruments are notated are unclear to us, so there are still major disagreements about how it was meant be performed - but with drama is always good in opera, and the Italian recording I am listening to has that in spades, and quite eclipses Gardiner's recording as a result. I may upload it for you, in a few days.
"Biscuits with Jesus" - Toxic Chicken.
Between the title track and "The Depression Song" this is pure brilliance.
(you should check it out on dramacore.com)
I used to love everything Alexisonfire did. "Young Cardinals" didn't impress me though.
"And I've Seen a Bloody Shadow" by of Montreal.
Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division
Going to Pasalacqua -- Green Day
I don't care if their latest albums have been shitty, I just love their old material.
The Dresden Dolls - Lonesome Organist Rapes Page Turner
I find Amanda Palmer's voice very catchy. Or sexy...
For You - Killswitch Engage
Excellent song. Also, is anyone else disappointed with their new album? It's too slow in my opinion.
What... really... someone else that listens to codeseven? I got that cd for free during some sort of fair at my old university and it sat on my desk for about a month. Little did I realize just how amazing it really is.
I have been listening to a lot of post rock lately! I thank you all for this because it really makes me happy. Happy!
I was listening to the Mogwai/Sigur Rós song "Luvstory" and found it remarkably boring. What did you do to Mogwai, Sigur Rós. What did you do!
Anyways, I've got Mr. Beast going now.
(Also, I'm faintly remembering someone posting like a year ago something along the lines of, "I like that one Mogwai song with no vocals")
Edit: Agh, goddammit. I keep trying to listen to Slint's Spiderland but whenever he starts singing I just can't listen anymore. Fuck that.

KATZENJAMMER - A BAR IN AMSTERDAM
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aswXKmV0wDo
I have so much good music on my computer that I have just not listened to or gave a cursory listen to and never bothered with again.
Recently, I have discovered that I really like Mogwai's "Young Team," that I change my mind and actually like Sigur Rós.
Now I'm listening to Neon Bible and whoa why did I not listen to this more sooner?

Awesome! I like friends. They are friendly.
Been listening to The Books' Lemon of Pink...I heard someone around here saw them in concert and I am trying to imagine how they pull it off.
I'm going to see The Books (whom I adore) on August 14th, so I will report back on how they pull it off.
Tom Waits - The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)
Goddammit EVERYONE should own this record
Have you listened to any of their earlier stuff? Hidden World is a solid record too.
Well, I would suggest you grab their Epics In Minutes comp, which puts together a lot of their early singles and 7"s...then grab the Year Of The Dog/Year Of The Pig singles. At that point, you'll pretty much be good to go as far as Fucked Up is concerned.
Hidden World is on my to-download list. Knowing how huge their discography is, I wouldn't know where to go after that really.

Anoushka Shankar - Sinister Grains
While My Guitar Gently Weeps -- The Beatles
This is a really geat song. Pretty much one of my favourite Beatles songs.
Here's how my foolish attempt to listen to the pillows during lunch on the work computer went:
Kid attending camp: Will you turn that crap off?
Me: What, you don't like J-Rock?
Kid: No way its, like, Chinese and shit.
My Boss along with every single other teacher in the room laughed at that kid for a good twenty minutes.
frank turner's new song - "the road"
on his myspace site - http://www.myspace.com/frankturner
I kind of like the Pillows. Nothing really stands out about them, to me, though.
Travis Morrison's much maligned solo albums.
I'm still in mourning over his announcement a couple weeks back that he's quitting music for good.
The Half-Life of Kissing.
care to enlighten me on what this is? i don't even know if that's the album or the artist name!
care to enlighten me on what this is? i don't even know if that's the album or the artist name!
Before Million Dead Frank Turner and Ben (I think? The dude that was also in Palehorse) the drummer were in a band called Kneejerk when they were teenagers. They did two albums and a split with Abjure if I remember right. The first album is really wonky, they were daftly young when they made it and it shows. The Half-Life Of Kissing was their 2000 swansong, I'm not even sure they were still together when it came out. It's emo metallic hardcore but they'd obviously been listening to a lot of Refused and Canvas and decided to include electronic bits and generally get very odd with lots of long songs and samples. It's very teenage and hasn't always aged well, particularly when Frank tries singing instead of screaming, but there's still some great moments and it remains my favourite Frank Turner record. It's his time in this band that he's singing about in Back In The Day from Sleep Is For The Weak.
sounds pretty goddamned awesome!!! i'd heard OF kneejerk, but not actually heard their stuff. any chance you'd be up for uploading that in the hardcore thread? i'll try and find something similarly badass to up in return.
I have recently decided that I am substantially lacking in metal of any sort and have decided to erode my ignorance by getting Master of Puppets, ...And Justice for All, and Ride the Lightning.
Master of Puppets
Minor Threat's complete discography. So good.
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody is on the radio.
Dr. Seuss is Dead by Acid Bath
Joker, I agree, it is a good album. Don't know why so many people on here dislike them.
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody is on the radio.
This is in my opinion the Greatest Song In The History Of Music Ever.
"Over It" - Dinosaur Jr.
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart - The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
It's pleasant and immediately familiar and has no discernible personality of its own.
Dredg- Sang Real
damn, this is good. :-D
Dredg- Sang Real
damn, this is good. :-D
If you haven't heard it yet, their new album is infinitely better than Catch Without Arms was...and Catch was a brilliant record!
"Over It" - Dinosaur Jr.
Fuck yeah, me too. Thank the gods that be they didn't give up their guitar solos. I lament their disappearance.
I consider "Weird Science" a cinematic milestone. I still listen to Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. I own three Trapper Keepers. So...I've very possibly never left the eighties.
Whatever, bring on the fuckin' solos, lads!
Cocaine - Eric ClaptonThat is a very good song.
"Little Animals" - The Raveonettes
Forgot how awesome Chain Gang of Love is
"Little Animals" - The Raveonettes
Forgot how awesome Chain Gang of Love is
Hmm, I should probably listen to more stuff by them. I only have Whip it on which is pretty amazing.
Now listening to Today's Active Lifestyles by Polvo for the first time. Impressed so far.
Kompakt has released some great stuff over the years, hard to go wrong there. Weird that Deerhunter lists their sound as an influence though.Yeah, Deerhunter has some weird influences (according to Wikipedia anyways), like The Flying Lizards. I cannot hear that band in them for the life of me, but it's believeable as an influence.
Now listening to Superpitcher's Today (one of the best Kompakt albums ever imo)
Smashing Pumpkin's "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" all the way through for the first time in quite a few years.
Beard Lust-Natalie Portman's Shaved Head
Apparently I have a huuuuuge addiction to electro. So, that new Valerie & Friends that got posted in MediaF!re Thread is gettin' hella play.
two eggs any style, as a matter of fact.Wow! Thanks. Mrs doombilly is downstairs practicing scales. I'm upstairs blushing. And listening to Tampa Red and Georgia Tom.
EARTH.
"High Command," to be exact.

I can't listen to that song without smiling.
Grace by Jeff Buckley. I was impressed by it.
Grimbo, I have utmost confidence that you will enjoy the Defeater record. It's very solid.
I have actually just now gotten a listen to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, and I have to say, this is some of the best music I've ever heard. It's a bit harsh and sharp, which is something I don't usually go for, but the sheer quality in a song like "To Here Knows When" is just astounding. Also I would like to take Bilinda Butcher's voice out on a series of romantic, but charmingly simple dates, meet its family, marry it, and then sire several ethereal disembodied voices by rapid and non-stop consumation of said marriage.
I just listened to Loveless tonight after hearing SO MANY RAVE REVIEWS OF IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN and expected to find myself an album that I would fall in love with.
It was so boring that I could not stand it. I really run into this a lot.
Mo Nighean Dubh - The Barra McNeils
Bryan Adams - Run To You
I always found this to be a much better song than Summer of '69, but far more people have heard of the latter.
Thoughts?
Okkervil River - Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe

I fix'd your link
That will be 20 internet dollars
That's... that's the entire point. The over-the-top theatrics of the whole thing are intentional. And the tunes are fucking great. Saying their live show is too theatrical sounds like somebody went in to a deli and complained that their turkey sandwich tasted too much like turkey.
The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny is the fucking best. I will probably mediaf!re this tomorrow.
Come on Eileen by Dexy's Midnight Runners. Such an incredibly fun song.check out "Until I Believe In My Soul" from that very same album.
Octopus' Garden by The Beatles
One of their best songs. IMO. It's just so marvelous and child-like. I love it.
Eww, nu metalIt's not that bad when you accept that it's pop.

there is a lot of nu-metal I fucking love. that is really brilliant shit... that just plain kicks it out...
By 'Death' I think you mean 'Nu'.
new Muse is big meh for me
Settler by Balmorhea. So gorgeous.
So ... I loved green day since I was like 12 ... Don't give a rats ass if you're one of those "GAWD THEY SUCK" kind of people, you can't really help what appeals to you (though you can help what you expose yourself to)...
BUT I just listened to their last album...and I don't ever want to hear it again.
Now listening to
MC Paul Barman - "Excuse you."
Pure awesome silliness.
Lifelover - Herrens Handdo
I love this band, their lyrics are so wrong and the music is just as sick.
I've been looking for translations of their lyrics for a while now, you have any idea where to find them?
Nope, I don't know any sites. I speak swedish so that's why I understand their lyrics :PI'll remember that, thanks.
If you want a translation of a song you can always PM me without problems! :-)

Fleet Foxes - s/t
Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture
Guided By Voices - Bee Thousand
Liars - s/t
this is going to be a good night.
Brainiac - Hissing Prigs in Static Couture
Talking Heads' Remain In Light.Check out his biography (On Some Far Away Beach)
How does Eno always make artists better? Coldplay, I am looking straight at you.
That's why I said ''a good band''.
Nick Drake - "River Man"
this song is beauty
Stravinsky - The Rite Of Spring
Some good classical music... I'm looking at a scene from the Disney masterpiece "Fantasia". Good old times.

The last scene (where the virgin dances herself to death) is so ridiculous.
Are you talking about the movie? Because I don't remember something like that in the movie.
ahhhhhhhh the new Owen cd!!!
Clutch-Burning Beard
Oh god so good
"God is Good" by OM. It's in the mediaf!re thread. Holy fucking shit is it good.
the dresden dolls - "yes, virginia"
i think i'm getting an amanda palmer obsession lately. damn, even her VOICE is hot!
And for good reason amirite
Now playing: the Pains of Being Pure at Heart EP from the mediaf!re thread.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) by The Beatles.
It's better than their s/t LP.
A friend of mine has that song set as the ringtone for his wife. He's really classy.
April Wine - Drop Your Guns
I love these guys.
These people listening to the band Helter Skelter made me really want to listen to the song. So I am.
Helter Skelter - Thrice
love. so much love.
Rammstein ~ Pussy
:3
I'm not usually into the whole "kvlt" thing, but the terrible production of Xasthur actually seems to be an important part of the atmosphere.
Assemblage 23 - Spark single
Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxigene
This stuff... is brilliant.
i'm listening to lots of old Jimmy Eat World. anyone know why Tom stopped singing on their albums? "rockstar" and "blister" are amazing songs, and his vocals were great on those!!!
YACHT. This is really difficult music. I am about to give up.Not so much 'difficult' as 'annoying'. Or maybe that's just me.
Rammstein ~ Pussy

yay!
they are so much fun.

Yup. "Zwitter" got a hell of a lot better once I read the lyrics.
Currently switching between "Rammstein" and "Rammlied" to compare the maturation in sound.
mmm...people say they're stagnant, but there's acually quite a progression within the formula.
Spencer & Hill - Cool (Afrojack remix) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTS8o7gt_mk)

Apparently this is what happens when you 'strip back' electro house but I don't care cause it's dirty & also kind of uptight
mmm...people say they're stagnant, but there's acually quite a progression within the formula.
I fail to see how could anyone think that Rammstein don't progress with their music. The debut has a very raw and mechanical/hipnotic feeling along with Sehnsucht. Those atmospheres don't show up too many times in the following albums. The production got a lot cleaner [and less good imho] and so on...
Ayreon - Love (Day Eleven)
Fever Sleeves - Q and Not U
This album is incredible. I just got it, as well as a Bluetip album, and I've been listening to them non-stop.

The Join Us LP. I'm enjoying it, and it was definitely a good purchase along with the Q and Not U, they seem to compliment each other well.
Editors - In This Light And On This Evening [album]
Wow, really took me by surprise. There's nary a guitar on the record, so they've turned even more towards the 80s new wave...but thankfully, it's a brilliant album. So much better than And End Has A Start, which was the definition of "underwhelming" for me, especially coming after The Back Room.
Brad Mehldau Trio – Everything in Its Right Place (Alternate Version)
(tks Inglorious bass basterd for posting this guy, great for work when I forget my headphones)
Fake Problems - "It's Great to Be Alive"Great band, I saw them open for Murder By Death earlier this year. I haven't heard anything from them but that album, but I dig it alot.
i think it's gonna need a few more listens to really grow on me, but it's immediately better than "how far our bodies go," which i found pretty disappointing after having seen them slay the fest last year.
guys i downloaded a brand new album.Which one? They're a great band, though I'm iffy on two of their albums (first and most recent). But even with that, Deja Entendu and The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me are damn-near masterpieces.
im actually digging the first song whoa.

I've never been able to get into Cynic. Sean Malone always seemed like he was just trying too hard to be Jaco and I just couldn't deal with that. He does a pretty good Jaco impersonation, but it lacks the spark that made Jaco a great musician.

I still don't know why this album was eliminated so early in the Greatest Album of the Decade Competition.[\i]
I'm glad.
Up to the Replacements chapter so I'll probably spin Let It Be and Tim today.
That's dedication.
Absolutely loving the new Raveonettes album, so mostly that.
At the Gates' "Slaughter of the Soul." It's amazing how well it holds up after more than a decade of people so liberally borrowing from their sound.
Khoma - The Second Wave
First time lsitening to this band. Seems like a good album. Some members are from Cult Of Luna so that's why this stuff is also good.
The vocals are remains me to the ones in Radiohead and Muse... It's nice stuff.
It has been uploaded in the mf thread not so long ago, actually. I might give it a listen one of these days.
The new Baroness record.
It's kinda hard to tell just how good it is, since I am at work, but it's pretty dang cool so far.
I am super grateful to Touch Me I'm Sick for upping that Rough Trade comp to the Mfire thread, if for nothing else than Delta 5's "Mind Your Own Business."

when i was a kid and i'd go round my next door neighbours' house, their parents had that song on a 7" vinyl and for some reason we'd all listen to it on repeat and dance like twats. fun times!!!
I just downloaded the Laserdance discography.
That is all I'm listening to.
Forever.
A Wilhelm Scream's new self-titled EP, streaming here (http://www.hurley.com/live/).
Pretty awesome, although I wish I could find a UK distro that does Paper+Plastick releases so I don't have to pay a metric fuckload for shipping from the US...
(I have tried so hard to be open-minded but this is terrible, even by my incredibly low standards)
nope
You are wrong and you have not tried hard and it is not terrible, what are you saying, listen to Friend Opportunity you silly person.
i won the whole flipper discography in a competition a few months ago, and literally, out of the whole lot, there's about three listenable songs. maybe it's just not my thing, i dunno, but i couldn't get into it...
i'm currently listening to "american rubicon" by the cobra skulls.

I'll take it if you don't want it! I love Flipper but I don't actually own any of their stuff in a physical format.
relentless assaults of screaming electronic madness and maddening static explosions done in the tradition of the finest Japanese noise. Voltage Monster's absence of the rigid structure present in Hull's other projects allows for an altogether more dense, more suffocating exploration of white noise as an aesthetic. One of the most punishing, harsh electronics records to surface in quite some time, Voltage Monster is nothing short of devastating
"Murder The Government" - NOFX
Dü-scography
Somebody's never listened to The Locust. It's called "noise" for a reason.
"i want it that way" by the backstreet boys. i signed up to sing it at karaoke with some mates last night, but they closed the pub before we got the chance. so we've all agreed to do it next friday. and it's going to be epic.What will you do if I agree with you?
it's also a genuinely good pop song, and if you disagree, i will fucking fight you.
There Are Listed Buildings by Los Campesinos!Waiting eagerly

The Field - From Here We Go Sublime
EVEN BETTER WHILE STONED. Wow.
Maybe your standards are just too high?
I'm on a "long time no listen" trip.
Yeasayer - Odd Blood
Ambling Alp is a fantastic single release but as a whole the album is distinctly disappointing. Some kind of attempt to be a quasi-AC band seems to be happening and it needs to stop.
"Hospital" - The Modern Lovers
Classic.
"Hospital" - The Modern Lovers
Classic.
I was playing that album last year when a friend asked me what it was. I told him it was the Modern Lovers, recorded in 1971. He went, "Wow, this could've been made yesterday." *That* is when you know you've got a timeless classic.

Iggy Pop - The PassengerBecause the asshats that used Lust for Life to sell insurance increased their profit margins.
Can anyone tell me why this song is absofuckinglutely everywhere lately?
The Doobie Brothers - Long Train Runnin'

Music arguably peaked right here.
Big Black - Kasamir S. Pulaski Day
Man,I wish Big Black's first album was available on CD.
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Lookin' Out My Back Door
It is. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rich_Man%27s_Eight_Track_Tape)
I don't think the version I downloaded is a vinyl rip, but it does include that "Strange Things" track. Weird.
"Needle in the Camel's Eye" - Brian Eno
I don't really like to buy stuff that isn't an original studio album.
I should probably try and get over that.
Flare Gun by Owen Pallett.Jesca Hoop will beat his ass.
Damn, I know I am repeating myself, but I am still amazed by Heartland. I think it's gonna be my favourite record of 2010.

Spectrum of the Sky by Break of Reality.
Pretty top notch. Stringed instruments combined with rock music makes me happy.
I thought stringed instruments were a pre-requisite to rock music.. :P

Boris: Japanese Heavy Rock Hits! Volumes 1-3 I've got and one song from Vol. 4, but for some reason the download only came with one and it seems like there ought to be a B-side. Hrm! "Seasons" is really good though, might be my favorite of the singles.
The b-side to volume 4 is just an etching on the vinyl. Should just be "Seasons".
Listening to the new Efterklang right now. Only a couple songs in but I actually like it a lot despite some negative reactions I've seen floating around

I'm also listening to this (^) now. It upsets me when bands release special tracks for only certain editions of albums/eps/whatevers. (I understand why they do it, but it still bothers me). Cause now I already have this EP, but I really want this bonus track cover. I love A Wilhelm Scream, but I don't want to rebuy the whole EP. It was just like this on Career Suicide with those two bonus Australian tracks--I ended up getting a myspace rip of one, and a shitty quality of the other.
Listening to The Instrument Soundtrack by Fugazi. I really love this album, it's so bizarrely beautiful. It seems to be a further extension of the experimental, dub-y direction they took with Red Medicine and End Hits.

The past two weeks or so I've fallen back in love with Pictureplane, and right now I can't stop listening to Old Dreamer (http://hypem.com/track/954279/Future+Islands+-+Old+Dreamer+Pictureplane+Remix+), Travis Egedy's remix of two songs by Future Islands. So, so good.I don't know how I haven't met the guy yet, he comes out to the radio station every once in awhile and he seems pretty attached to Denver. Seeing as I'll be the RPM director next semester I'll probably be running into him a bit.

Synth Pop was awesome
The National's new album is basically incredible.
The first released track by How to Destroy Angels, aka Trent Reznor's new musical project with his new musical wife. The song is called "A Drowning."
I can't say I'm particularly impressed or anything, but I get an implacable but definitely positive feeling from listening to this song. It's just so Trent! Does anyone layer sounds together quite the same way Reznor does? Does anyone produce guitars or throw in dramatic quiet piano at the end of songs quite the way Reznor does? I haven't listened to Nine Inch Nails in a while, and I'm not really liable to start again for sometime, but it kind of just makes me happy to know that Trent Reznor is still out there making the music he really wants to make.
The first released track by How to Destroy Angels, aka Trent Reznor's new musical project with his new musical wife. The song is called "A Drowning."
Still, I'll give it a bit of time, as I do all things Trent. His "Pretty Hate Machine" through "Downward Spiral" era was a gateway drug for me. It led to other bands, who managed to stay vital, working, and interesting throughout the last fifteen years. As far as Trent goes? I pull out that older stuff once or twice a year and dust it off; pangs of nostalgia and all that.
Hauss-on-Fah by...uh, Foetus. Don't do that.
"Crystal Rope" - Gayngs
This track took me completely by surprise. You know that feeling when you know you're gonna cry in a minute, but you don't - in stead you can't help make an anguished grimace because it's so fucking moving? Yeah that's how this feels.

have you heard the demos for this album? the demos were recorded by the ALL lineup of the time (i.e. chad on vocals) and feature a few extra songs, some of which made it onto the two ALL albums since, and some which have never resurfaced. i can upload it if you like?
it's up in the m!f thread now mate. as far as ALL goes, i've only heard the recent stuff, but it sounds very like the Descendents, but with slightly less straightforward melodies and slightly more intricate musicianship. still very energetic and catchy though. i'd heartily recommend "mass nerder" and "problematic" as albums to check out.

The bonus disc from the We Are The Romans deluxe edition that just arrived for me. The band's intros to the demo songs are amusing :-)
Just picked up an album by a producer called Jaytech, entitled Everything Is Okay. It's a bit trancey, which isn't normally my thing, but it's also very house-y, just low on big hooks and vocals. I'm getting pretty into it, and it occurs to me that an album with such a propulsive beat that flows so fluidly from track to track will be great homework music come fall.
It's so fucked how the dude in Last Lights died. I can't imagine how scary it must have been for other frontmen at the time, as well, since so many people pulled stunts like that, but never thought about what could happen.
i'll probably get shit for this, but the newest Four Year Strong and A Day to Remember albums. i wouldn't call them guilty pleasures exactly (as i think the concept of a GUILTY pleasure in music is ridiculous), but it doesn't quite make sense that i'd like these bands, as they play the most saccharine, cheesy pop-punk (with none of the gruffness that makes pop-punk great), combined with the most generic of metalcore breakdowns, and some almost sickening overproduction... and yet i can't seem to get enough lately!
that said, i've heard older material by both bands and it both sucks and blows.

You should check out Made Flesh by Extra Life. The frontman/composer used to be in Zs. I think it's one of the best albums of 2010. It draws equally from modern composition, medieval chant, and Swans.

Man, I was blasting Portrait of an American Family this morning. I don't care what anyone says, I think that's a great album. It's just so gloriously brash and trashy. Too bad Manson got full of himself and fired the two dudes who were responsible for all the best parts of that album (i.e., Berkowitz and Gein). If not, maybe the rest of his career wouldn't have devolved into lifeless self-parody so quickly.

do you mean to imply the nineties weren't an amazing time for music?!
The 90's were like the 70's but Punk never happened. Definitely the worst decade for mainstream music, and even for many slightly more off-beat genres. We're talking about the decade that hit metal with the one-two slam of radio-friendly grunge and nu-metal, basically killed goth rock and turned the label 'industrial' into a PVC clad joke. That said, I'd take the lamest 90's industrial rock bands over the dreck the kids these days listen to, so maybe it wasn't so bad.

I actually had that same reaction to that album over the summer. If it makes you feel better, I think everybody has that reaction. I didn't listen to that album for years after I first heard of it, 'cause somebody around these parts had made a wisecrack about them. So I assumed "Meh, don't bother." 3 years of my life, wasted.
Kanye's My Beautiful Dick Twisted Fantasy. FUCKING DOPE.This is what I initially read. I'm disappointed this is not the title of the album.

Examination of What Digable Planets
During the early 1970s, the band switched to a grittier funk sound, which was as influential on the music industry as their earlier work.[4] The band began to fall apart during this period because of drug abuse and ego clashes; consequently, the fortunes and reliability of the band deteriorated, leading to its dissolution in 1975.

She's talking. Rapping, poetry. Singing. Just too fucking amazing.
the punknews.org weekly podcast - new song on it by a band i'm unfamiliar with called Elway is totally awesome! apparently they used to be called 10-4 Eleanor or something.
Yeah, they up and changed their name randomly, and then signed to Red Scare.Man, it's always weird when the internet talks about local bands. I'm not big into the punk scene but Elway's from around here and I run in their circle, though I'm not really on a name basis with any of them (this is also the case with Dovekins / Candy Claws / Pictureplane, in descending order of familiarity). Went to one of their CD self-release shows in town before they got signed to their current label. I used to have it but I ended up losing the disc and using the package materials for a mix.
If you google/mf search, you should find their two albums under 10-4 Eleanor. Good stuff.
