Consonant--Who Touches You Now

Clint Conley's side-project outside of Mission of Burma. It's him on lead vocals/guitar, Chris Brokaw on guitar, Matt Kadane on drums and Winston Braman on bass, with poet Holly Anderson providing lyrical input. Very MoBish sounding but there's a serious jangly edge that basically makes it a near-perfect collision of Mission of Burma and early REM.

I'm not gonna lie, but I think I'm preferring this a lot more than Mission of Burma, and I fucking love Mission of Burma.

Right now, this. Because of that post, too. One of my favorite songs ever.

Without End by Dommin...

its not much to write home about....

kinda like If Tiger Army thought they Were Poisonblack, if Poisonblack thought it was as good as Katatonia... and no one had the heart to tell them they weren't.

Gave the new Ted Leo a blast and wound up making an epic playlist of pretty much everything he's done. Currently ploughing my way through 'Biomusicology' - still a fuckin' classic.

"Bread of Bitterness" by Deathspell Omega

What the butt is up with this band's drummer, he is like an octopus that has some kind of genetic mutation where he has five extra arms, and all the other octopi make fun of him for it, but he doesn't care 'cause he's such a great fucking drummer.

I'll probably follow this with Crimes by The Blood Brothers if I'm still pissed.

I'm listening to The Pillows because it reminds me of being sixteen and all the emotions that that entailed.

Zingoleb · « **Reply #3419 on:** 08 Mar 2010, 17:37 »

My creepy* Japanophile roommate kind of ruined the Pillows for me.

*To expound on creepy: I have the room he used to live in. He painted large pictures of Harley Quinn in provocative poses everywhere. Thankfully, I have posters. Lots and lots of poster.

Oh and uh, I'm listening to Mellon Collie.

Also was it just me who thought the new Ted Leo record was really terrible?

really?! i honestly can't see how anyone who likes any of his other stuff wouldn't enjoy it... maybe you need to give it a few more listens? i dunno, all i know is i've heard it 3 times through and every single song is lodged firmly in my skull - i'm LOVING that shit.

Reed · « **Reply #3421 on:** 08 Mar 2010, 21:23 »

Yeah, I dunno, I've listened to it once and it seemed pretty decent. I need to give it a few more tries, but it's nowhere near as great as Tyranny of Distance.

Also, I was pretty god damn disappointed by Titus Andronicus' new album after the brilliant Airing of Grievances.

De_El · « **Reply #3422 on:** 08 Mar 2010, 22:23 »

The guitars on The Monitor are so muddy and indistinct, like who the fuck thought that was a good way to record that album? The songs are fine, but the mixing and production are terrible.

David_Dovey · « **Reply #3423 on:** 08 Mar 2010, 22:35 »

I have not heard The Airing of Grievances and based on what other people told me about TA I didn't think I'd like them one little bit, but I snagged The Monitor from the MF thread and really really liked it- it may well be the best record I've heard from 2010 so far-, although I can see what people would have against the mix. I've only listened to it once on my iPod, and I imagine it wouldn't sound too hot from speakers. On the other hand I think it kind of fits the band's approach. Does the first album sound significantly different in terms of the mix? I do kind of wonder if they might benefit from a slightly more hi-fi approach, a la The Hold Steady or summint'.

Anyway, I am listening to

"live another day" and "change of scene" by [spunge], several times each. sometimes all you need on a sunny morning are a coupla songs about drinking and lesbians, by a cheesy, lightweight-yet-fun uk ska-punk band.

Oh man I have not listened to Propagandhi in yeaaaars. Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes was a staple of my early teens. It just doesn't get much better than "Fuck the Border".

Screamo as fuck. And yet oddly upbeat if you ignore the lyrics!

I thought they were tongue-in-cheek. Or so the fact that the lead singer screams out "KAMEHAMEHA!" in the middle of one of their songs would have me believe.

you're referring to "this isn't the tenka-ichi-budokai" there right? because i wondered what the fuck he was yelling at that point (as it's not on the lyric sheet). i'm assuming that's gibberish and not an actual word that i've somehow never heard before...?

just given cheap trick's "surrender" a listen on youtube, and despite being slightly taken aback by how slow it is (compared to less than jake's cover, which i heard first), i thought it was REET good, and just ordered "authorised greatest hits" for 4 quid. WIN.

my wife fell down and busted something in her shoulder. She's trying to see if she can still bass effectively before we go to the ortho in some hours. So far she just picked out Ride of the Valkyriez (sp?) and is being taunted into doing Dixie. On the P bass. Yup. That's it honey.
