What Are You Listening To?

[Boner M]

Burial - "Archangel"
u like?

EDIT: n/m, I saw your review on RYM. I mostly agree even though I like the s/t more (one of my faves of the decade). The processed 'Cher-vocals', as some have derisively called them, have grown on me.

Sir Richard Bishop - "Zurvan"

Sir Richard Bishop - "Zurvan"

I really should give the s/t one another shot and Untrue seems like one that could grow on me over time. There's just something about dubstep (and I'm only going on the few albums I've heard) that I find a little offputting, but maybe it's just a matter of getting used to the style.

Arp - "St. Tropez"

[Boner M]

There's just something about dubstep (and I'm only going on the few albums I've heard) that I find a little offputting, but maybe it's just a matter of getting used to the style.
Hmm, for me it's a style that really appeals to me (most dub-inspired genres do), but outside of Burial and some of Kode9, I've yet to hear an artist that really blows me away. Nonetheless, I think it'll only get better, so I'll be constantly seeking out new stuff.

Sir Richard Bishop - "Mahavidya"

_______

Sir Richard Bishop - "Mahavidya"

I should definitely hear more from the sub-genre before writing it off as "not my thing". Which Kode9 album would you recommend starting with. Also, they're not dubstep (though are tagged as dub on RYM), but have you heard anything by Pole before? I've only heard Steingarten from this year, but it's magnificent.
_______________

Clockcleaner - "New in Town"

Good to see good old-fashioned, angry, noisy rock 'n' roll is still alive and kicking.

Memories of the Future is the one to get. There's a few weak spots, but the highlights are just endlessly addictive. "Backward" was featured in Children of Men (as was a lot of dubstep).

I'll check out Pole.

_______

Built to Spill - "Broken Chairs"

[D_Davis]

I've been listening to David Gilmour's latest solo album. It contains a handful of really great tracks. Of course it sounds very much like the Pink Floyd, and I wouldn't want it any other way. It is a good companion piece to The Division Bell.

Also been listening to David Lynch's new single, Ghost of Love, the song he sings in Inland Empire. There is also a very cool b-side called Imaginary Girl.

[Justin]

Goldfrapp - Lovely Head

[dreamdead]

Pink Floyd - Welcome to the Machine

[Henry Gale]

"Memory Gospel" - Moby

His closing piece of score to Southland Tales, and maybe one of the things that saved the film for me in that final section.

[Boner M]

The Magnetic Fields - "Smoke and Mirrors"

Lordy, the production on Get Lost sucks. And the tracklisting for the Australian CD version is out of order. The songs more than compensate, tho.

[EvilShoe]

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - Another Rather Lovely Thing

[Boner M]

Albert Ayler - "Ghosts: Second Variation"

[origami_mustache]

Daft Punk's Alive 2007 album is pretty awesome.

[EvilShoe]

Low - That's how you sing amazing grace

[MadMan]

Just re-reading the last page, and realising that'll be the last time I give a multi-post running commentary on epic mega-tracks. Promise.

___________

Joanna Newsom - "En Gallop"I liked it well enough. I've never thought to do a running commentary on songs. Huh.

[origami_mustache]

Jandek - "Slinky Parade"

[HerzogianRaftMonkey]

Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

[EvilShoe]

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

(Still my favourite song of the year.)

[DSNT]

Sleeping In, Radio Dept.

[HerzogianRaftMonkey]

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

(Still my favourite song of the year.)

Someone Great is my favorite off that album, and maybe my favorite of the year. Great album.

Mirah - After You Left

[Horbgorbler]

Add N to (X) - "Revenge Of The Black Regent"

Great song/album.

Opal - My Only Friend

[DSNT]

Pelican Narrows, Caribou

Miles Davis - "Lonely Fire"

[Justin]

Ghostface Killah - Supa GFK

[Kurosawa Fan]

The National - "Green Gloves"

[Acapelli]

Private - We've Got Some Breaking Up to Do

Private's album is probably te best pop album of the year.

[Yxklyx]

"Every Little Bit" - That Petrol Emotion

[Henry Gale]

"Hong Kong" - Gorillaz

[Derek]

Magik Markers - "Empty Bottles"

[Thirdy]

Tom Waits - 'Alice'.

[Lasse]

Listening to a lot of Danish rap lately.

[Justin]

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Over and Over Again (Lost and Found)

[Mal]

"Some People" by Goldfrapp

[Horbgorbler]

Ron Carter - Yes, Indeed

[Justin]

Burial - Untrue

Time to see what all the fuss is about.

[Philosophe_rouge]

Plus Rien- Les Cowboys Fringants

[Duncan]

Black Star - "Respiration"

[origami_mustache]

The Black Keys - "Set You Free"

[Ivan Drago]

Through The Fire And Flames - Dragonforce

[Horbgorbler]

Betty Carter - Sounds (Movin' On)

Hot damn.

[Russ]

The International Submarine Band - Blue Eyes

[Boner M]

Magical Power Mako - "Look up at the Sky"

The first half of this album (s/t) is meh, but halfway through it becomes nonstop awesome.

[Russ]

Stan Getz and Astrud Gilberto - Corcovado

[Rowland]

Susumu Yokota - The Colour of Pomegranates

[Derek]

James Blackshaw - "The Cloud of Unknowing"

Damn, this guy knows how to pluck some strings. Most of this is purely instrumental with nothing but a 12-string guitar, yet the sound is as rich and deep as an orchestra. Beautiful stuff.

[origami_mustache]

Bill Callahan - "Honeymoon Child"

[MadMan]

Stacked Actors-Foo Fighters. Hardcore, head banging good tune-age that is also my favorite track off their album There Is Nothing Left to Lose. The album is pretty solid, but I feel that the band is better at fast paced, hard rock/grunge than they are at softer power ballads although they have a few slower songs that are good. I really like the band as a whole though, and I want to get my hands on The Colour and the Shape especially.

[EvilShoe]

Tindersticks - Another Night in

[Duncan]

Chromatics - "I want you love"

[Derek]

Chromatics - "I want you love"

Heh, I just listened to this album for the first time earlier today. It's not bad, but no song is as good as "Hands in the Dark" or "In the City", both of which they for the After Dark compilation. If you like IV, be sure to check that one out. It's a similar style across the board, but more consistnent and it has Farah's "Law of Life" which will haunt your dreams.

[Saya]

Michael Jackson - P.Y.T.

[Scar]

Spinal Tap - Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight

[MadMan]

Strange Days-The Doors. More psychedelic brilliance from a great band. I like the guitar work more so than the organ parts on this piece. Especially the short solos that are inter-worked into the song.

[EvilShoe]

Low - Lift

[Boner M]

Jay Reatard - "Fading All Away"

[Duncan]

Yeah, I've heard IV. I can usually only listen to them for one or two songs, but when I want to hear a really slick track I'll give them a play.

Bowie - "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed"

[Boner M]

Tarentel - "All Things Vibrations"

[origami_mustache]

Dan Deacon - "It's My Fault" (Beavis and Butthead sample)

[Duncan]

Holy Fuck - "Super Inuit"

[EvilShoe]

Clint Mansell - Xibalba

[Derek]

Holy Fuck - "Super Inuit"

'Nother good choice and great band name. Just found out I'll be seeing these guys live in February when they open for Super Furry Animals. Should be a fun show even though I'm not the biggest SFA fan.
_____________________________

Shugo Tokumaru - "Parachute" (the overly-precious but fitting music video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbfLycuhhjI))

Uh, indeed. Only two songs in, but this album's already looking like a possible contender for pop album of the year if it keeps up.

[Rowland]

Sally Shapiro - I'll be by your side

[Derek]

I've never heard of this guy. He has a cool sound.

I hadn't heard of him until a couple days ago myself. His new album Exit is fantastic - definitely worth checking out if you liked "Parachute". Third time through it today and I'm liking it more every time.

[D_Davis]

Behold the Temple of Light - Pink Floyd, live in Amsterdam '69

Great stuff. Probably the basis for a lot of modern post-rock. It sounds so different than most of the other Floyd stuff.

[Raiders]

"Best of Luck," Nickel Creek

Technically speaking, this band is just about flawless.

[Horbgorbler]

Bill Withers - Harlem

Whoah. This album will be great.

Uh, now it just segued into "Ain't No Sunshine." Great, indeed.

[Yxklyx]

Some Tool song with the word Fuck in it.

[Boner M]

The National - "Start a War"

[Cult]

"Paralyzer" -- Finger Eleven

Total guilty pleasure. The chorus is just so much fun.

[Justin]

Ghostface - Walk Around

One of my favorites on the new album.

[krazed]

Big Black - Ergot

[origami_mustache]

Mos Def - "Pornographic"

[origami_mustache]

Why - "Dumb Hummer"

[MadMan]

"Paralyzer" -- Finger Eleven

Total guilty pleasure. The chorus is just so much fun.I dig that song quite a bit as well. The video for it is a tad on the strange side, with a few erotic undertones.

[Ezee E]

I'm at work, and in my office, the store music is very very low. I can tell that it's something Christmasy with soul. BB King?

Also, the venting for the heat. It's pretty damn loud.

[Justin]

Band of Horses - Is There a Ghost

[origami_mustache]

Justice - "New Jack"

[Melville]

Nina Simone's Sinner Man.

Possibly the greatest thing in the history of things.

[D_Davis]

Why - "Dumb Hummer"

Why rules.

[Acapelli]

Belle & Sebastian - The Life Pursuit

Belle & Sebastian do disco. Nice.

[Henry Gale]

"The Coolest" - Lupe Fiasco

[Justin]

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - The World's Greatest

[D_Davis]

Brain Eno and John Cale - Spinning Away.

Holy crap, this is a good song.

[transmogrifier]

Blueberry Boat, The Fiery Furnaces

[Derek]

w00t!!! Let the trans/horb battles begin!

[transmogrifier]

w00t!!! Let the trans/horb battles begin!


Eh, I think he actually likes that album. Though he probably saw a YouTube video where Eleanor mispronounces an Old Gaelic slang word and now deems Blueberry Boat the work of the devil.

[origami_mustache]

Beirut - "Nantes"

[Derek]

I was referring to the fact that you had disappeared since the move.

[Boner M]

Lula Côrtes E Zé Ramalho - "Trilha De Sumé"

[origami_mustache]

Sufjan Stevens - "Come On! Let's Boogey to the Elf Dance!"

[EvilShoe]

British Sea Power - All In It

[DSNT]

If You Want It, Take It - Boo Radleys

[MadMan]

Love, Reign O'er Me-The Who. One of the most beautiful and powerful pieces of music I've ever listened to. Easily one of the best songs from the band, and an example of the heights they reached in the 1970s.

[EvilShoe]

M. Ward - Magic Trick

[Derek]

Bear in Heaven - "Fraternal Noon"

[D_Davis]

If You Want It, Take It - Boo Radleys

Ma-ma-ma-ma-mega Rep!

[transmogrifier]

I know it's not the done thing around here, but Tool.

Aenima is an awesome, awesome album.

[EvilShoe]

A Place To Bury Strangers - The Falling Sun

[MadMan]

Wonderwall-I love this song. Awesome lyrics, great guitar and vocal work, the whole 9 yards. Its also my favorite Oasis tune although granted I haven't heard much from the band. What's The Story Morning Glory? is truly a fantastic album.

[D_Davis]

I know it's not the done thing around here, but Tool.

Aenima is an awesome, awesome album.

I still prefer Opiate and Undertow. I need to listen to Aenima more.

[Horbgorbler]

The Moon Lay Hidden Beneath A Cloud - XIII

[Henry Gale]

"Verses From The Abstract" - A Tribe Called Quest

[transmogrifier]

I still prefer Opiate and Undertow. I need to listen to Aenima more.

I can't really split Undertow, Aenima or Lateralus. I listen to Opiate and 10,000 Days the least.

[Boner M]

Kemialliset Ystävät - "Tulinen Kiihdytys"

I don't like the s/t as much as their earlier albums, but maybe it'll grow on me. Seems a little self-conscious for now, in the Zorn/Patton way. Not a good thing.

Bah. Bah, I say! I think what I love about the album is how the chaotic musical arrangements are brought together, which I guess is the same thing that could make it seem self-conscious if only it weren't so layered and emotionally gratifying. It may not be as "free" as Alkuharka (the only other album I've heard from them), but I think the increased reliance on found sounds gives it a texture that was lacking before. For my money, it's one of the wildest, most fascinating albums of the year. A good thing. ;)

If I have to be honest, my merely whelmed reaction might have something to do with the fact that the production isn't as murky here, which I fear may have 'lifted the veil' from their appeal to some degree, at least for me.

That said, a second and third repeat are revealing some more layers and highlights for me (love the appropriation of Chinese traditional music on "Himmelimenetelmä"), so I should hold my words for now. It's definitely another progression for them.

[origami_mustache]

RJD2 & Jay-Z - "Moment of Clarity (Soul Position - Inhale)"

[D_Davis]

Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

Such a great track on an awesome album. I sometimes find it impossible to distinguish between Eno and the Heads. It's almost as if Eno was using this band as a way to deliver his own sound. I don't mean this to be unfair to the Head's amazing abilities, but only to say that Eno is such a hands on producer/collaborator.

[origami_mustache]

The Magnetic Fields - "I'll Dream Alone"

[Derek]

Ned Collette - "Lost and Found"

[DSNT]

Til I Am Myself Again, Blue Rodeo

[Henry Gale]

"Oh My God" - Mark Ronson (feat. Lily Allen)

I actually like this more than the original Kaiser Chiefs version.

[Acapelli]

Brian Eno - Needle in the Camel's Eye

[origami_mustache]

Ugh, this Rilo Kiley album is garbage.

Ugh, this Rilo Kiley album is garbage.

Indeed. They've been going downhill since The Execution of All Things.
________________________

New Buffalo - "You've Gone My Friend"

[Duncan]

Deerhoof - "The Perfect Me"

[Derek]

Ned Collette - "Race"

This is definitely one of the best produced album of the year. I wish I loved the rest of it as much as this song and "Lost and Found", b/c it sounds so good it melts my earwax.

[Sycophant]

YMCK - "Yellow Magenta Cyan Black"

[origami_mustache]

Fiery Furnaces - "My Egyptian Grammar"

[Yxklyx]

Under Stars - Brian Eno

[Russ]

Opal - Fell from the Sun

[Kurosawa Fan]

Editors - "An End Has a Start"

[MadMan]

Sleeping Lessons-The Shins. I love how dreamy this song really is, and the guitar solo that kicks in later on is pretty sweet. I'm really glad I bought Wincing the Night Away as its a damn good, near great, concept album.

[EvilShoe]

Editors - "An End Has a Start"
:|

Anyway, this makes me feel less embarrassed to admit I'm listening to:

The Killers - Read My Mind.

The entire album is so over the top, even terrible, yet I listen to it frequently.

It's like the Commando of 2007 CD releases.

[EvilShoe]

Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - What Must Be Done

[EvilShoe]

Nick Drake - Pink Moon
:cry:

[Duncan]

Bowerbirds - "Dark Horse"

Really, really good.

[DSNT]

Winged/Wicked Things, Sunset Rubdown

[Kurosawa Fan]

I listened to the album twice now. It's not bad. Nothing special, but not bad. I have no idea why that smilie is used, because I'm completely out of touch with what people like/dislike when it comes to music, but I imagine they aren't terribly popular? Or are, and that's the problem? Either way, "The Weight of the World" is a pretty great song.

I don't really know how other people feel about them, they've just always been "Lame Interpol" to me. (I can't even begin to imagine how people who dislike Interpol might feel about them!)

I saw them at a festival three years ago with a friend. We both looked at each other and said "wait... this sounds like interpol...". We then left.

"Sweetest Girl (Dollar Bill)" - Wyclef Jean (feat. Akon, Lil Wayne & Niia)

[Kurosawa Fan]

I'm not much of a fan of The Killers either. They are way overhyped. There are a few good tracks on that disc, but overall it's not worth listening to.

Me too, but replace Rock Band with Guitar Hero 3.

The rest of the album is pretty much Meh-owolf.

[origami_mustache]

Straight Outta Compton, NWA

With most rap/hip-hop, I find it tough to sit down and listen to a whole album (mainly because most albums are samey and relentless in their approach), but when a great song comes up on a playlist, it's a charge like no else.

[DSNT]

Ballad of a Thin Man, Stephen Malkmus & The Million Dollar Bashers

[Boner M]

Bass Tone Trap - "Sanctified"

Solid slab of Trout Mask Replica-influenced UK post-punk from 1983. Almost no info available for them on the net; I picked up their sole album Trapping on a whim because the package description made it sound intriguing and I was bored with catching up on new stuff. Love making discoveries like this.

The other song that I've been listening to a lot these past few days. This time though, it is a cover of the Eno song.

(Zach Condon at age 15 doing Magnetic Fields inspired lo-fi electronic songs)

[Philosophe_rouge]

On repeat for the last few hours Reach Out (I'll be There)- the Four Tops. So addictive.

I knew Walk Hard was going to be an awesome movie after I first heard this.

Alcoholiday is one of my all time favorite songs. I think Bandwagonesque is a genius album.

[Llopin]

Best album of the '90s if ye ask me (not really, but it's there at the top).

The Zebras - You Look Ready

[DSNT]

Best album of the '90s if ye ask me (not really, but it's there at the top).
Not sure about that, but definitely some of the best power pop of the 90s. Agreed with DD on Alcoholiday. Brilliant song.

[D_Davis]

It is a beautiful album. By far TFC's best. 13 has some okay tracks, but after they cleaned up and cut their hair, they just went down hill.

I saw them open for Radiohead and I wouldn't let them get off the stage without doing Alchoholiday. They did it, and it was awesome.

[Henry Gale]

"Good Woman" - Cat Power

[Acapelli]

Alcoholiday is one of my all time favorite songs. I think Bandwagonesque is a genius album.
I think I might slightly prefer Grand Prix. Don't Look Back is my favorite of theirs.

I don't like much of anything after Band..., except for a few tracks from 13. They cut their hair, cleaned up, and started to bore me.
