What Are You Listening To?

[MadMan]

Yeah I'm starting it up again....I'm surprised someone else didn't already :cool:

[DSNT]

Speaking of replay value ..

Bitters & Absolut, The National

[Horbgorbler]

Blue Balloon - Ween

Yes! Now this is the Ween I love. I'm diggin' the new album. Not as good as Quebec, but better than White Pepper.

[dreamdead]

Beck - The New Pollution

Returned to Odelay for the first time since summer. Great album for reading/typing...

[D_Davis]

Spirit Walker - Ween

This track is amazing. Sounds like something that could have easily been on Quebec, it's totally spacey.

[Boner M]

Akron/Family - "Lake Song/New Ceremonial Music For Moms"

[chrisnu]

Underworld - "Cowgirl"

[dreamdead]

Nice, our first overlap...

Underworld - Banstyle/Sappys Curry

Akron-Family - "Ed is a Portal"

The Secret Meeting - Shooting Laser Beams

[Sycophant]

Suzanne Vega - "Tired of Sleeping"

[Cult]

"My Cool"--Adam Tensta

But unfortunately I can't find the mp3 anywhere, so I have to do this via youtube or myspace. (If anyone knows where to get it, tell me!)

[Rowland]

The Streets - Blinded by the Lights

[D_Davis]

Friends - Ween

I like the album version more than the EP version. It is a little less Pet Shop Boys sounding, and a little more Ween-like.

This is a great album.

[Rowland]

The Tear Garden - Romulus and Venus

[D_Davis]

The Tear Garden - Romulus and Venus

Awesome. Last Man to Fly is an incredible album. Totally amazing stuff from everyone involved.

[Gizmo]

Change (in the house of flies)- Deftones

[Rowland]

Awesome. Last Man to Fly is an incredible album. Totally amazing stuff from everyone involved.Yeah it is. The production is stunning and the musicianship endlessly creative.

[D_Davis]

Yeah it is. The production is stunning and the musicianship endlessly creative.


I wish the band would have continued on in this vein. While I still enjoy some Skinny Puppy, and I really like a lot of The Legendary Pink Dots stuff, some of their music sounds far too dated now to listen to without chuckling a bit. Last Man to Fly, however, is totally timeless. Hyperform and The Running Man are two of the best album openers of all time.

It looks like they have a new album coming out this year.

[D_Davis]

Rowland, do you have TG's album, To be an Angel...?

I've not heard this one before, but after sampling some of it on iTunes, it sounds really good. I'm dl'ing now. It sounds morel like part 2 to Last Man to Fly.

[Eleven]

"The drone of an industrial-sized printer/scanner/fax/copier combo while I type in a computer lab" - Hewlett-Packard LaserJet.

[Rowland]

Rowland, do you have TG's album, To be an Angel...?

I've not heard this one before, but after sampling some of it on iTunes, it sounds really good. I'm dl'ing now. It sounds morel like part 2 to Last Man to Fly.I like it, but it's more of a grower than The Last Man, probably because it's more subdued.

I assume that you have listened to their EP Sheila Liked the Rodeo?

[D_Davis]

I like it, but it's more of a grower than The Last Man, probably because it's more subdued.

I assume that you have listened to their EP Sheila Liked the Rodeo?

Yeah - Sheila Liked the Rodeo is awesome. Probably my second favorite thing of theirs.

[D_Davis]

Wow - Judgement Hour is an awesome song. I'm totally digging To be an Angel...

I can't believe I've never heard this, especially since it was the follow up to Last Man.

[Rowland]

Wow - Judgement Hour is an awesome song. I'm totally digging To be an Angel...

I can't believe I've never heard this, especially since it was the follow up to Last Man.I found their newest. Dling now...

[D_Davis]

I found their newest. Dling now...

Oh cool - where at?

PM ?

[Rowland]

Oh cool - where at?

PM ?I just found it on SoulSeek. I'm not sure where else it could be found.

[D_Davis]

I just found it on SoulSeek. I'm not sure where else it could be found.

I found it on a bunch of those Russian MP3 sites... :)

It's strange, it is done, and was supposed to be out last April, but it is not for sale any where or released yet.

[D_Davis]

I just found it on SoulSeek. I'm not sure where else it could be found.

So I just got it. So far, it's not doing much for me. Too much techno. It's okay. It sounds more like the Pink Dots than Tear Garden though.

[Boner M]

High on Fire - "Waste of Tiamat"

Have kinda gone off metal recently, but Death is the Communion one of my faves of the year.

[D_Davis]

Elephant Talk - King Crimson.

I really like Primus, but they should be ashamed. If you haven't heard Elephant Talk yet, after you do you'll hear what I mean.

[dreamdead]

Unexpect -- Desert Urbania

[Saya]

Black Star - RE: Definition

[origami_mustache]

I've been on a Mountain Goats binge all day.

[DSNT]

All My Friends (John Cale's Version), LCD Soundsystem

This is my favorite version.

[Rowland]

Assemblage 23 - Raw

[chrisnu]

UnkleJam - Love Ya

[Rowland]

Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out of This Country

[Marley]

Camera Obscura - Let's Get Out of This Country

They make some good pop music. Live they aren't that great though.

Within Temptation ~ Frozen

[Rowland]

They make some good pop music. Live they aren't that great though. Hmm, that's a shame.

[Rowland]

Garbage - The Trick is to Keep Breathing

[D_Davis]

So, Judgement Hour, by Tear Garden, is such an incredible song. It's one of those songs that has quickly become one of my favorites. The production is excellent, the beat is simply and groovy, and Edward Ka-Spel's vocals are brilliant.

Man Rowland, I'm really glad we talked about this band last night, it's nice to be listening to them again. Although, I am not thrilled with their newest album at all. It's really lacking in the melody department, something that Tear Garden usually excels at.

[Henry Gale]

"Painter In Your Pocket" by Destroyer

[Horbgorbler]

Södra Bergens Balalaikor - Det Regnar Ute

[Gizmo]

Sheep Go to Heaven - Cake

[dreamdead]

Faith no More - Jizzlobber

What a quality album Angel Dust was...

[Rowland]

Venetian Snares - hajnal

[Ivan Drago]

Dethharmonic - Dethklok

I am stoked for next week when they perform here.

[origami_mustache]

The Magnetic Fields - "Busby Berkeley Dreams"

[Boner M]

Autechre - "Drane2"

Oh man, I never realised how consistently amazing LP5 is until now. Ae's good stuff will never age.

[Boner M]

Hot Snakes - "Unlisted"

I miss them. :(

[Rowland]

Autechre - "Drane2"

Oh man, I never realised how consistently amazing LP5 is until now. Ae's good stuff will never age.Confield is their most ageless album, probably because it's the most alien. It's my favorite of theirs too.

[Boner M]

David Blue - "The Gasman Won't Buy Your Love"

I'm not a huge raving mad fan of Dylan, so I'm surprised that I'm enjoying this guy's blatant fascimile of his mid-60's electric period so much.

[Boner M]

Confield is their most ageless album, probably because it's the most alien. It's my favorite of theirs too.
Haven't gotten into that one yet. I d/l'ed it a few years ago, gave it a few listens but decided it'd never really click with me and then deleted it. I'll give it another go sometime, but for now I think LP5 and EP7 (for the most part) are where they find the perfect balance between avant-garde beats and their unique brand of wistful, fragile melodocism.

"Pir" from EP7 might be my favorite track of theirs.

[Rowland]

"Pir" from EP7 might be my favorite track of theirs.Yeah, there is hardly any overt melodicism in Confield. It's all about texture. EP7 is kinda crap, but it has a few good tracks. Pir... is that the last track?

[Sycophant]

On my way to work today, I listened to all of Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea." It's been too long since I've done that.

[Boner M]

Yeah, there is hardly any overt melodicism in Confield. It's all about texture. EP7 is kinda crap, but it has a few good tracks. Pir... is that the last track?
Yeah, it's the last one. I should've amended what I said in my previous post: EP7 would be crappy did it not have several astounding tracks that elevate it to 'pretty good' ("Maphive 7.0" and "Rpeg" are the other two).

[Rowland]

I don't know if it's their best, but I've probably listened to Vietrmx21 more than any other song of theirs.

[Boner M]

I don't know if it's their best, but I've probably listened to Vietrmx21 more than any other song of theirs.
Rep 4 u! That's a goregously dark piece of music.

[Rowland]

Rep 4 u! That's a goregously dark piece of music.Hmm, so you've never heard it before. As a former hardcore fan of the duo, I wonder which albums of theirs you've listened to?

[Boner M]

Hmm, so you've never heard it before.
Zuh?

[Rowland]

Zuh?
Oh, for some reason I read that as a response to hearing the song for the first time. I didn't realize the rep was just for my liking the song. :)

Do you like Chiastic Slide?

[Boner M]

Do you like Chiastic Slide?
Yeah, that one's great too, especially "Cichli". Everything from their mid-period is gold in my eyes.

[Hugh_Grant]

Edwyn Collins -- "You'll Never Know"

[MadMan]

Baby Its You-Smith. The Death Proof soundtrack rocks hardcore. I think its one of the best soundtracks QT has assembled actually out of all of his films. I haven't listened to the soundtracks for the Kill Bill films yet though.

[MadMan]

Low-Coldplay. One of the best tracks off of an album that failed to live up to the greatness that was A Rush of Blood to the Head.

[DSNT]

Now Now, St. Vincent

I didn't like her at first, but she has really grown on me over the past few months.

[Saya]

Lupe Fiasco - Superstar

[Henry Gale]

Low-Coldplay. One of the best tracks off of an album that failed to live up to the greatness that was A Rush of Blood to the Head.

When I first listened to the album two years ago, this was actually one of my least favourite tracks. But more recently I've found myself going to listen to this every once in a while (maybe because my play-count for it is that much lower than some of the others). I still find X&Y to be a ridiculously re-playable album as it has so many amazing hooks in every song and more polished in its production than AROBTTH, but I'd still say Rush Of Blood is their best.


Lupe Fiasco - Superstar

Great song. Hopefully this is the track for him to finally hit it big and be recognized in the mainstream because as much as it's one of the best hip-hop songs of the year, it's easily one of the best pop ones there will be by year's end too.

But anyway, listening to:
"Rise" and "No Ceiling" by Eddie Vedder

[dreamdead]

Black Sabbath -- Spiral Architect

:cool:

[Boner M]

Link Wray - "Big City After Dark"

[Rowland]

Mahogany - Chance

[DSNT]

Citizens, Josef K

[Duncan]

Levon Helm - "The Mountain"

Pretty awesome to hear his voice again. I haven't heard anything of his since The Band.

[Ivan Drago]

Bulls On Parade - Rage Against The Machine

[Ivan Drago]

Bulls On Parade - Rage Against The Machine

Tom Morello is a damn genius.

[dreamdead]

Anaal Nathrakh - The Final Absolution

Oh, hellz yeah.

[KK2.0]

Hotel Costes vol. 8

[Sycophant]

Peggy Lee - "Is That All There Is?"

This may well be just about my favorite recording ever.

[Rowland]

Jon Hassell - Chemistry

[D_Davis]

Jon Hassell - Chemistry

I haven't heard this, but I do have Maarifa Street, and I like it quite a bit. Kind of a mix between Bill Laswell and Miles Davis.

[Rowland]

I haven't heard this, but I do have Maarifa Street, and I like it quite a bit. Kind of a mix between Bill Laswell and Miles Davis.It's from the album Fourth World, Vol. 1: Possible Musics, a collaboration with Brian Eno. It's an interesting work, I recommend it.

[Derek]

Grizzly Bear - "Shift" (Alt. version from the Friend EP)

[Hugh_Grant]

Kitchens of Distinction - "The 3rd Time We Opened the Capsule"

[Philosophe_rouge]

Jack U Off- Robyn

[Cult]

Jack U Off- Robyn

Nice.

Fiery Furnaces -- "Ex-Guru." I haven't listened to the entire new CD yet, but I like this.

[D_Davis]

Kitchens of Distinction - "The 3rd Time We Opened the Capsule"

Nice - this band is awesome. What album is this from?

[Philosophe_rouge]

The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down-The Band

[Derek]

Joy Division - "Atmosphere"

[DSNT]

Nice - this band is awesome. What album is this from?
Yes, they are awesome. That song is from Love Is Hell.

[D_Davis]

Yes, they are awesome. That song is from Love Is Hell.

I've forgotten the names of their albums and songs, but I use to listen to them all the time.

Does Love is Hell have Drive That Fast on it? That song is awesome.

[DSNT]

I've forgotten the names of their albums and songs, but I use to listen to them all the time.

Does Love is Hell have Drive That Fast on it? That song is awesome.
Nope. That's on the next album, Strange Free World, which doesn't do much for me save for that song.

My favorite of theirs is The Death of Cool. You might know "On Tooting Broadway Station" and "4 Men" from that one (or maybe the songs, not the names).

[Saya]

Great song. Hopefully this is the track for him to finally hit it big and be recognized in the mainstream because as much as it's one of the best hip-hop songs of the year, it's easily one of the best pop ones there will be by year's end too.


Yep, definitely. I can't wait for his second album The Cool.

Dead Prez - Hip Hop

[D_Davis]

My favorite of theirs is The Death of Cool. You might know "On Tooting Broadway Station" and "4 Men" from that one (or maybe the songs, not the names).

Yes - this is my favorite album as well. 4 Men is a stunning song.

[Thirdmango]

Brazilian Girls -- Jique

[eternity]

Jimmy Eat World- Over

[chrisnu]

Foreigner - Urgent

Pop music needs more saxophone.

[Sycophant]

Pop music needs more saxophone.More horn in general. Word.

Faye Wong - (some song I don't know the title to, but was totally that song that played over those awesome red credits at the end of Chungking Express)

[Justin]

More horn in general. Word.

Faye Wong - (some song I don't know the title to, but was totally that song that played over those awesome red credits at the end of Chungking Express)

It was the cover of The Cranberries - Dreams.

[MadMan]

Y Control-Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The song is fun and playful, but the video for it is disturbing in a crazy "Lord of the Flies" sort of way. The band clearly has a twisted sense of humor.

[Boner M]

Burial - "Untrue"

:eek: at the new album.

[Duncan]

Iron & Wine - "Boy With a Coin"

I think I like this album more than Our Endless Numbered Days.

[DSNT]

Roll River Roll, Richard Hawley

[Kurosawa Fan]

"Dynamite!" - The Roots

[Hugh_Grant]

"For the Enemy" -- Okkervil River

[Llopin]

The Ecstasy Of Saint Theresa - Perfect Needle

[MadMan]

When I first listened to the album two years ago, this was actually one of my least favourite tracks.

I still find X&Y to be a ridiculously re-playable album as it has so many amazing hooks in every song and more polished in its production than AROBTTH, but I'd still say Rush Of Blood is their best.Yeah I agree that X&Y is their most polished work, and that ARoBTTH is their best work so far. I actually look forward to their next album, which will hopefully mark a different and interesting direction for the group.

Smile Like You Mean It-The Killers. I love this song. Its got the great techno vibe that made their first album good despite some of the tracks on it that were less than stellar. Plus the second half of the song about "Someone is calling my name from the back of the restaurant" and "Someone will drive her down the same streets that I did" really gets to me.

[MadMan]

L'estasi Dell'oro (The Ecstasy Of Gold)-Ennio Morricone. Hands down my favorite piece from the man. Pure and utter bless, and is present for one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema. A scene that leads up to one of the greatest scenes in cinema.

[bac0n]

I'm listening to a radio station I created on www.jango.com (http://www.jango.com). You create your own radio stations by choosing some artists you like, and jango streams music from them, along with similar artists.

You musicheads should really check this site out. It's way cool!

[Henry Gale]

Yeah I agree that X&Y is their most polished work, and that ARoBTTH is their best work so far. I actually look forward to their next album, which will hopefully mark a different and interesting direction for the group.

I'm definately excited because no matter what they make, the album will definately be something I love. I even find most of their B-Sides to have endless replay value. The new album is also the first work they've done with Brian Eno so that should be interesting right there (well, he played the organ in White Shadows, but aside from that). Hopefully it still comes out next summer because recently there have been rumours of a delay and such.

Fantastic song, easily my favourite from Hot Fuss and almost makes up for stuff like "Everything Will Be Alright".

Right now though, the reason I came into the thread was to say I'm listening to "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town" by them from their new Sawdust compilation album. It's pretty great for the type of CD it is even if some of the re-recordings of tracks I loved in the past like "Under The Gun" and "Move Away" aren't quite up to par with the original versions in my opinion. It also has "Leave The Bourbon On The Shelf" which completes the trilogy of the "Midnight Show" and "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine" story.

[origami_mustache]

And isn't the trilogy of "Midnight Show" and "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" basically the murder trilogy? "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf" sounds like a cool song title. If anything else that sounds like an interesting concept album.

[Henry Gale]

Yeah I'm pretty sure those three are as far as the murder story goes, the Sawdust B-Sides CD that has "Leave The Bourbon..." is out tomorrow though.

[Torgo]

Hey! First post!

The Cult's latest album ("Born Into This.") So far, it's pretty standard Cult; not spectacular, but not bad, either. "Dirty Little Rocks" is my favorite track so far.

[D_Davis]

I thought you might be listening to the Torgo theme.

[Rowland]

Michigan - Valley of Death

[Torgo]

I thought you might be listening to the Torgo theme.

Are your knees freakishly huge?

[Torgo]

Are your knees freakishly huge?

Not really, but I've been to the doctor many times for knee problems, if that counts. Also, I consider myself a good housekeeper, but my voice does not sound like Katherine Hepburn's. Perhaps the real Torgo and I are not quite the same. Maybe someday, that will change. :lol:

So long as the master approves.

[SpaceOddity]

'You've got to Pick a Pocket or Two'.

In my head.

And only cos I've donned fingerless gloves due to the cold and consequentially feel I'm a Dickensian street urchin.

[MadMan]

Yeah I'm pretty sure those three are as far as the murder story goes, the Sawdust B-Sides CD that has "Leave The Bourbon..." is out tomorrow though.Awesome.

Pressed in a Book-The Shins. Part of their usual brand of music that sounds cheerful on the outside by is actually depressing on the inside. O Inverted World is really good in some aspects and weak in other ways. It pales in comparrison to their last two albums.

[Derek]

CunninLynguists - "The Gates"

[Cult]

Hirasawa Susumu - Lounge (Paprika OST)
I've listened to "Parade" an unhealthy amount of times.

Kylie Minogue -- "2 Hearts"

[Rowland]

Grandaddy - He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's the Pilot

[Llopin]

Honeybus - I Remember Caroline

[DSNT]

Magic vs. Midas, Sunset Rubdown

[Acapelli]

Arthur Russell - All-Boy All-Girl

The Seeds - "Evil Hoodoo"

[Saya]

Lauryn Hill - Doo Wop

[dreamdead]

Hans Zimmer - Journey to the Line

[Rowland]

Circa Survive - Kicking Your Crosses Down

[Henry Gale]

"Minor Thing" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Easily one of their most underrated songs and quite possibly my favourite.

[soitgoes...]

Mushaboom - Feist

[Morris Schæffer]

Lots of James Blunt. I seem to require it to get over some stuff. "Shine on" and 'Carry you Home" are especially hard to sit through, but I can't help it. :cry:

[DSNT]

Sad Eyes, Bat For Lashes

[monolith94]

Klaus Nomi - "Nomi Song"

And, god help me, I can't stop listening to it.

[Boner M]

Slowdive - "Rutti"

Pygmalion after midnight = bliss

[EvilShoe]

My Morning Jacket - Olde September Blues

[Horbgorbler]

Dog Faced Hermans - Calley

It's so weird hearing them reference my hometown. I'd say it was cool, but the fact that the song is about a Vietnam war criminal who owned a jewelry store here dampens that. :|

[Justin]

M.I.A. - Sunshowers

[Russ]

Angelo Badalamenti - Blue Frank

[Derek]

Silver Apples - "Seagreen Serenades"

[jesse]

This Lamb Sells Condos (Live) - Owen Pallett

[MadMan]

Tennessee Stud-Johnny Cash. I think I like his version better than Hawk Williams Jr.'s although both versions of the song rock. I think its interesting that this song is featured in the Jackie Brown soundtrack as its completely out of place amongst all of the 70s music and that one rap track featured.

[Saya]

Bruce Springsteen - The River

[dreamdead]

Orbital - Halcyon + On + On

[eternity]

Voxtrot- Firecracker

[jesse]

I held off 17 days longer than usual, but it's that time again!

Sleigh Ride - The Ronettes

[origami_mustache]

Marnie Stern - "Absorb Those Numbers"

[D_Davis]

Kpngurey (Where Has My Country Gone?) - Kongar-ol Ondar & Paul Pena

[Boner M]

Art Ensemble of Chicago - "Ja"

[MadMan]

We Looked Like Giants-Death Cab For Cutie. Depressingly powerful and beautiful song. While I like the last two albums from the band I think that some of the songs could have been cut from both, and that if you put the best of the two discs together you'd have a truly great album. Still I want to check out their earlier work. Any recommandations would be welcomed.

[Sycophant]

Electric Light Orchestra - "Sweet Is the Night"

[bac0n]

Branford Marsalis : Gymnopedie No 3

What a gorgeous song.

[Sycophant]

Branford Marsalis : Gymnopedie No 3

What a gorgeous song.
Um... am I to understand this is a jazz saxophone rendition of Erik Satie's Gymnopedies? :eek:

I need to hear this.

[Henry Gale]

3's and 7's - Queens of the Stone Age

This is a song that could have easily been a hit if the record company didn't screw up its release as bad as they have. It's such a great rock song/single that if it were the first single and they actually gave it time to breathe and not made it the second one so long after and then moved on to Make It Wit Chu so fast, more people could have appreciated its awesomeness. It was released as the first single in the UK and actually made it into the #1 spot on the Rock charts and into the top 20 overall. Oh well, at least it's in Guitar Hero III.


Flashing Lights (feat. Dwele) - Kanye West

Still my favourite off of Graduation and maybe my favourite song of the whole year. The production is absolutely flawless and in my opinion it has some of West's better lines from the album .

[bac0n]

Um... am I to understand this is a jazz saxophone rendition of Erik Satie's Gymnopedies? :eek:

I need to hear this.

Um, sure? I'm not familiar with Erik Satie's version of the song, but either way, you need to hear it. It's a gorgeous song, and at times it's hard to tell if what I'm listening to is a soprano sax or a clarinet.

[Rowland]

Mogwai - Auto Rock

I had Miami Vice on the mind.

[jenniferofthejungle]

Alan Parsons Project - Don't Answer Me

[Boner M]

fIREHOSE = "Brave Captain"

Um, sure? I'm not familiar with Erik Satie's version of the song, but either way, you need to hear it. It's a gorgeous song, and at times it's hard to tell if what I'm listening to is a soprano sax or a clarinet.


Yusef Lateef's version on flute is absolutely gorgeous, as well.

[Kurosawa Fan]

"Hymn From a Village" - James

[Ivan Drago]

Cult of Personality - Living Colour

Fucking awesome song.

[MadMan]

Easy Target-blink 182. *Headbangs to song* I love to blast this when I'm driving as its a fast paced, rockin' pop punk tune that has some fun lyrics. Their last album was really damn good, and I think they were heading for greatness when they broke up. Such a bloody shame as blink 182 (to me anyways) was rather underrated.

Nina Simone - "I Want A Little Sugar In My Bowl"

[MadMan]

The Battle Of Evermore-Led Zeppelin. The band's homage to LOTR's is awesome indeed, a quiet yet beautiful piece that's one of the best tracks off a masterpiece of an album. 'Tis a damn shame this song never gets played on the radio, which is why I'm glad I own IV.

Seriously the best single out right now. Can't wait for Lupe's new album next month.

Heh, that's the only song I really like off either album as well. :)

Bjork - "Hunter"

Nice. I was really surprised by it after being pretty much nothing but annoyed by all the other stuff I heard by her. It was nice actually hearing something resembling a pleasing melody and flow with lyrics that I not only could understand, but appreciate. The production is also a lot less cluttered.

And to mirror the other half of your post, I'm coincidentally listening to "All Is Full Of Love" by Björk (the video/single version).

The Goslings - "Blood A Necklace"

The Goslings - "Blood A Necklace"
Great band. I prefer Grandeur of Hair to Between the Dead, though. They have such a compellingly sleazy sound. Sleaze-gaze, perhaps? Let's hope that catches on.

The Somethings - "Le Monde Infernal"

The Somethings - "Le Monde Infernal"

I like both albums about the same, with a slight preference for Between which I thought was a bit more consistent, sans "Seed" which drags down the middle of the album. I don't what kinda music it - part noise, part shoegaze, part metal and part I don't know what the hell it is, but I agree it's compelling stuff.

[MadMan]

Lodi-CCR. One of the best songs about the trials and tribulations of being a musician. And also a reflection on how things probably went before CCR got big as well. I like the song's simplicity-something that is beautifully and profoundly part of their music as a whole.

Om - "Unitive Knowledge of the Godhead"

The Shins - Red Rabbits

"O Holy Night" - The Supremes

The first time I've really heard Mary Wilson's vocals front and center--and as much as I like Diana I now understand why it's so tragic Mary got the short end of the stick.

[MadMan]

Jumpers-Sleater-Kinney. Man those chicks can wail and rock hardcore. The album The Woods is a fantastic display of rock 'n' and cool pop sensibilities. I really want to hear more from the band, especially since they can really craft a good fast paced rock piece. I like how in this song they tackle the issue of suicide in a very interesting way, which is only indictive of some of the other topics covered in the album itself.

Fushitsusha - "I Saw It! That Which Before I Could Only Sense"

Haino and co. are the probably the only people that can make an 85 minute guitar blowout worth listening to. I am only 16 minutes into it. Let's see if they can keep it up for another 69.

[Boner M]

Fushitsusha - "I Saw It! That Which Before I Could Only Sense"

OMG, part 2 (aka 30 minutes in) is some of the most amazing, otherworldy, beautiful-ugly guitar sounds I've heard. How do they do this and make it not sound like showboating wankery? Stunning.

More to come soon. Watch this space.

[Boner M]

Eh, halfway through and he's kinda losing me a bit. "I Saw It!" before, but now I'm 'only sensing' it at the moment. There's still hope, tho.

[Boner M]

At the hour mark, and it's awesome again. Kinda futile to draw a distinction between the tedium and the great, since the entire piece is constantly deconstructing and rebuilding itself, albeit it's never certain as to which sounds constitute either part. Everything improvised music should be, really.

[Boner M]

Listening to this kinda reminds me of when I was young and would put my face right up close to an ant's nest and watch the ants 'communicate'. There's the same kind of insidious logic at work here.

Was that a riff I heard?! Well, it's gone now...

Deep onion. Deep onion.

8 minutes to go. I think I'll put on some Pet Shop Boys next.

[Boner M]

1 minute left, you can really hear the band collapsing... like some big unwieldy machine malfunctioning... very... very... slowly....
