Thought I'd bring this thread over from the old boards. Whether home or at work, let us know what you're listening to. Me, public enemy Fear of a Black Planet. Their second best album after the classic Takes a Nation. When the drum track kicks in on "Brutha's Gonna Work it Out" it still makes me wanna get up and salute Professor Griff and the S1W's and receive my orders for the cause. Fuck PE are good.

No joke, over the last couple of days, I've been listening to Journey's box set, Time(3). I've been feeding my inner mullet.

acl

Five I'm listening to the most of right now:

Fleetwood Mac - The Chain (Disc Four)
Steve Miller Band - Greatest Hits
Shins - Chutes Too Narrow
A.J. Roach - Dogwood Winter
Cowboy Junkies - Open

 :twisted:

James Brown - James Brown's Funky Christmas
Nowhere Man - Considered To Tears
AC/DC - Flick Of The Switch and Powerage

That's in the last hour. I'm just taking a quick break from Lyrics Born and the video of The Cherry Valence I shot at their Tucson show last month. The Cherry Valence make me shiver with delight.

StellaStarr
 Rob Zombie's greatest hits
 The Smiths - Shabadoo compilation
 PLacebo

Here is what is making the rounds this week in the truck:

Andy Votel - Music to Watch Girls Cry
DJ Rupture - Gold Teeth Theif Mix
Federation 4 Mix

Today memorable things the iPod has served up

Marah- Lets Cut the Crap (Good call Ash)
Morphine - Cure For Pain
Curtis Mayfield -Superfly
Bottle Rockets - The Brooklyn Side

All great albums

I'm listening to Manu Chau's "Esperanza." I'm normally not a "world music" fan, but this is hands down one of the best, most original and inspiring records I have ever heard a hands down 10/10. Now I've got "me gusta la vecina, me gustas tu, me gusta marijuana, me gustas tu."

We've been cleaning house all day, here's the playlist so far:

- The Mummies "Death by Unga Bunga" (great Estrus band)

- Playwhatulike "The Best of Digital Underground"

- Hex County "The Deuce" (Hex County Rules)

- Donovan "Barabajagal" (I made my roommates listen to "My Shirt" and "Atlantis," poor bastards.)    

- Pink Floyd "Works" ((I think this was an early compilation rather than an album proper (A-Law?), but its my fav PF ever. I loves it.))

- Rentals "Seven More Minutes" (I love this record too.)

- Marah "Let's Cut the Crap (This still may be the best album ever.)

Great thread. Keep 'em comin folks.

Currently: Pixies Live At The BBC

On Deck: Fountains Of Wayne - Welcome Interstate Managers

Kill Bill Soundtrack  

Quentin Tarantino is a genuis.

Camper Van Beethoven - Telephone Free Landslide Victory

  Twilight Singers - Blackberry Belle

  and I am not sure who sings it but I can't stop listening to "Steve Mcqueen."


  DId anybody go to that show at Chop Suey?  Sure wish I could have.   I bet me and Dulli would have become best friends forever.

Here's what I've popped in over the past coupla days:

Marine Research - Sounds from the Gulf Stream

Heavenly - Le Jardin de Heavenly

M Ward - End of Amnesia

Minor Threat - Complete Discography

Tullycraft - Old Traditions, New Standards

Tom Waits - Small Change

- Donovan "Barabajagal" (I made my roommates listen to "My Shirt" and "Atlantis," poor bastards.)    



   "Hail Atlantis!"  I love this song

  Great.  Just by reading that sentence I have the dumb shirt stuck in my head.  "I love my shirt, I love my shirt."

  I know you made me listen to those songs on several occasions so I feel no pity for the current batch of suckers.

That would be the mighty Drive By Truckers, my vote for best album of 2003. it's not on that album, but you get the picture...

acl

It listens to

  The Warlocks - The Phoenix Album

  I have also been listening to some Drive By Truckers.  So far so good.

Nobody listens to new music anymore?  


  Matt introduced me to a song by the Drive By Truckers called Let There Be Rock.  It is totally cool and neat.  

  I also like the new Franz Ferdinand single  Take Me Out.

Modest Mouse's newest, "Good News For People Who Love Bad News", constantly.

Hey can you indie hipsters answer a question for me? I got a copy of some white labels yesterday and they must be from europe because they are a bunch of mash-ups (e.g., 50 Cent vs. NIN, Cameo vs. Ludacris, The Darkness vs. Basment Jaxx, shit like that). One of them however is a female singer or singers who I believe are singing a Pink Floyd song, but with what sounds like a sample of Bowies Sound and Vision as the music.  I'm curious if some one sampled this and this is the original version or who these women are and what the song sounds like for real (the records had no markings).

Thanks to anyone who can help!

I have been listening to Imperial Teen - Seasick today


  I had forgotten how good the tracks  Luxury and Copafeelia were.  Listen to them now.  Thank me later.  


  also it turns out New Poronographers - Slow Descent into Alcoholism still totally rules.  


  Recently I purchased British Sea Power.  Good stuff.

this week I have been listening to the Cd's I got at the Nada show on Saturday.

  The PLains  -  on earth as it is in heaven

  First off, thanks for the free cd Mr. Semer (The Plains).  Was a pleasure meeting you.  That's why I am glad I can write this...
  Wow!  This is quickly becoming one of my favorite albums after five or so listens.  There are at least four songs on this album I havelistened to over and over again.  Review to come.  

  At the Spine - The Curriculum is Never Neutral

   I'll also thank you guys indirectly for the music as I ganked Matt's copy.  curriculum is a weird word to spell out.  Haven't absorbed as much of this album yet but I do know I love the 4th track Sand in Your Teeth very very much.  After their live set I can't imagine the album won't be the goods.  Review to come.

This week the truck has seen two CD's of outstanding quality. I fucked Tower Records out of a really great Art Blakley import CD and I have also been enjoying the Rewind 3 sampler from Ubiquity, a very nice series for all those who have ever wondered.

I must say however, even after I spent my CD settlement all in one place, and Tower has put up signs every where about how they are closing or whatever . . . why in the fuck does every major music chain that goes out of business have these mark down sales to get rid of inventory, but jack up the prices of the CD's so that when you think about buying the shit, you really aren't getting a deal.  Fuckers.  Maybe they should think about why they are going out of business, shit weren't CD's cheaper back in 1987 when they were 15.99, I thought shit was supposed to get less expensive the longer the technology was out.  Sorry about the rant.

Maybe all these big fuckers will go out of business and good old fashioned neigborhood record stores can start popping back up.  I never really minded paying a little more at these place because they were always more likely to have more of the cds I was looking for.  

  Good point about prices.  I think I bought The Pixies Surfer Rosa/Come on Pilgrim  for $14 back in 1989.  No way can I get it for that now.  Shit's crazy.

I broke out L7 - Bricks are Heavy


  I'll be darned if that isn't a fine rock album.   Everglade and Shitlist just plain kick ass.  

  Oasis - Familiar to Millions
 Ilove this live album

New Snow Patrol is fantastic.    One of my favorite albums this year so far.  

  How to be Dead is some kind of song.

Maybe I'm really behind on all this, but a couple weeks ago I heard Supersuckers covering Oukast's "Hey Ya" on KEXP.

I liked it.

What do ya'll think?

It loves the new Hives single Walk Idiot Walk.  It also reminded how fucking good Barely Legal was.  Rock, Rock, Rock!

  New Beasties is great and since I saw the show on Tuesday at Neumo's I have been listening to The Streets new album repeatedly.  All good things.  

  also bought The Killers. Can't decide if I like it though.  


 I'm sure most of you know this, but Best Buy is a great place to buy new albums.  New releases $9.99.  I got the Killers for $6.99.  Prices even the unemployed can afford.

I've been listening to Journey-Greatest Hits a lot. I'm weird.

 :twisted:

mine:

The Hold Steady - my second fav album of the year. these guys rule and you should check them out or you are totally dumb.

Invisible Eyes - great garage rock demo i got from local band.

Shins - Chutes too Narrow - like it's predecessor, it took almost a year for this album to become the thing i listen to most. one of the most incredible bands of the past five years. i keep playing song 5 over and over and over and over.  

Mouse - Good News - still best album this year so far.

Global Seepej sampler - Solyoni's "Gold Mine Robbers" is my current fav. great comp by Mikey T and the boys.

I recently got into this new band, Single File. They have a really unique sound and I don't think many people know about them yet. Some of the best rock i've heard in the past 5 years. You can even download their songs for free at singlefilerock.com (course you can also buy their cd there, ha!).

currently-- Dance Hall by Modest Mouse.
really looking forward to the next track because every day seems to be a little more like bukowski and yeah I know he's a pretty good read. . .

I hate Bukowski.

Sonja,

  certain circles consider Journey's greatest hits to be the ultimate ally in gaining entrance into a women's pants.

  Steve Perry's silky voice, of course you can't stop listening.

Well, as I like to sometimes say, I'm not easy....but I can be had :)

The Journey phase is over. Now I'm back to listening to fun stuff in anticipation of Bumbershoot....Pixies and Long Winters baby! I love being in a good mood.

 :twisted:

Things it listens to

  Bumblebeez 81 - The Printz  

  The Delays - nearer than heaven  (heavenly brit pop)
 
  ZZ Top

now I'm listening to Neko Case's Blacklisted disc.

I'm listening to The Faint's newest, 'Wet From Birth', for the first time.
It sounds good.

The iTunes mp3 player is great. It gives you a rundown of your most listened to music. Here are my top 5 listened to albums (since getting iTunes in May)
1. McLusky - The Difference Between You and Me Is That I'm Not On Fire
2. The Streets - A Grand Don't Come For Free
3. Ornette Coleman - The Shape of Jazz to Come
4. Savath & Savalas - Apropa't
5. Arovane - Lilies (tie)
5. Mirah - C'mon Miracle (tie)
5. M83 - Dead Cities, Red Seas and Lost Ghosts (tie)
5. Mouse on Mars - Radical Connector (tie)

here's the correct things to be listening to:


Bumblebeez 81 - The Printz

Bobby Bare Jr - From the End of Your Leash (Album of the year nominee....)

Fear of Little Men - A Good Deed in a Weary World

The Hold Steady (still)

New Beastie Boys (Graham, Seattle Weekly both dumb)

ha!

currently playing on I-tunes is Hum's "Why I Like the Robins" because it's a rainy day in Bellingham, and nothing says rain like Hum.

Earlier I listened to all of "In the Aeroplane over the Sea," Neutral Milk Hotel.

In an Aeroplane over the Sea is one of my fav albums ever. 10/10

I'm also listening a lot to the forthcoming album by The Western States, who are fucking amazing. Very Pedro-the-Lion-esque, circa Control. They play the next Neumos show 7/29 and anyone who knows anything will be there.

- Ash out

Hey, that's my birthday! And, I took the next day off on account of my bday being one of the most important days of the year. Maybe I can make it through a See It First all the way instead of leaving at 10:30 every time. Ha.

 :twisted:

right now I am listening to Helmet.

and I'm glad to hear that Western States got a Neumos gig. They deserve it.

Helmet! Yeah.  I love that album that has Unsung on it.  


  I have been listening to

  Nappy Roots - Sick and Tired

  Neil Young - Rocking in the Free World.  Farenheit 9/11 reminded me that songs rules my butt.

  Ash has new cuts that are pretty decent.  Of course the album is not yet available in the states.  

 Back into Drive By Truckers.  Women Without Whiskey is so good lyrically I could poop.  

  Peanut Butter Wolf and Charizma - Red Light, Green Light
  great old skool hip hop.  Album was made in 1992 just released in 2003 I think.  

  Secret Machines - Sad and Lonely.
  Not so high on the album overall though.  

  Oh yeah ZZ Top -Tush is always in my rotation.  No fooling.  

  Bumblebeez 81 - Going Out Tonight is better than you.

that will be swell if you can make it through to the end of your birthday see it first. we'll even give you some free tickets to celebrate. now tell the nice people how old you'll be.

good picks snizz. you should do another "on the dowload" column where you tell us the hit singles to get.

my current fav single is "99 Problems" by Jaz-Z. fuck that song rules.

Hail Hail Spit and Drool!

  Long Live The Hives!

Listening to Interpol's new album Antics loudly and constantly.

i really dig the first two Interpol songs but the rest hasn't grabbed me yet. last one took awhile to grow on me too, however.

might be awhile before i find out, however, as i think i'm gonna be listening to this new McLusky record incessently for quite awhile. they are fucking amazing.

if anyone has advance copies of the Drive by Truckers or picked up the new Marah let a cracka' know. those are two top albums on my list of shit to acquire.

- Ash out

The Faint's newest, Wet From Birth, is so good that it is starting to take my attention away from Interpol.

also great is the new McLusky album. tops my playlist right now.

right now I'm listening to In Flames' "Food For the Gods."

My current playlist has included:

Beehive and the Barracudas: In Dark Love

Caustic Resin: keep on truckin

The jesus lizard: Bang

Souls She Said: EP

that caustic resin album rules - i listened to it mucho last year. should dig it out again. Beehive and the Barracudas? Souls she Said?

here's my playlist so far today. its fun getting paid to sit a computer all day and listen to music.

- The Thermals - Fuckin A (great album, much the same as their last)
http://www.thethermals.com/

- The Girls - The Girls (not as good as their awesome live show, but still pretty cool)
http://www.thegirlsseattle.com

- The Break-Up - She Went Black EP (Pretty cool promo from NYC scenester type band.)
http://www.thebreak-upmusic.com/

- American Analog Set - Know by Heart (Adore this band, slow, patient songs with lots of cool rythms and melodies)
http://www.amanset.com/

- Drive Like Jehu - Drive Like Jehu (if you don't already love this band you are a dumbhead)

here's the rest of today's at-work selections.


Calmer Than You Are
Local instrumental band that plays music akin to Godspeed You Black Emperor and Do Make Say Think. Some of the guys from Solyoni and The Plains are in this. The two-song live recording they gave me is really good. Play Hangover Helper 8/22 at Sunset.          
 

Bobbyteens
Female-fronted garage rock band from San Fran. Record is out on Estrus and is pretty cool.
www.bobbyteens.com

Bonobo Project - Bonobo Project
Metal band on Global Seepej. Makes me wanna smash stuff.
www.globalseepej.org/bonoboproject

Fey Ray - I Wanna Be New and Perfect
These guys played New Music Monday at Rendezvous for me and were fantastic, one of the best bands in town. Very, very good musicians who use art and prog-rock influences tastefully inside of their indie-emo-rock-britpop style songs. Very pretty stuff. Recommended for fans of Shins and Built to Spill.
www.feyray.com.

The Mummies - Death By Unga Bunga
Incredible garage-rock band from California and the "Kings of Budget Rock." Estrus just release this, which was probably recorded in the early 80s I think. "Danger Man" one of my fav songs I heard last year.
www.themummies.com.

Touchdown Eagle - Who Wants Cake?      
Have heard good things whispered about them and it seems well-deserved. Jangly lo-fi indie pop/rock that sounds like it could’ve come out on K Records in the early 90s. Guy and girl both sing and it seems like they really, really like Yo La Tengo.
www.touchdowneagle.com.

Beehive and the Barracudas is the one of the best damn party bands ever! its an offspin of hot snakes, and RFTC. It you have never heard this I highly recommend buying it as quick as you can.  Start with "plasticsoul/whiteapes"  this album is truely amazing. It has been in heavy rotation for me for over a year and i'm still not sick of it.

Souls She Said is a side project of the Icarus Line. its a little more listener friendly and was overlooked by everyone in my opinion.

Matt you are right, if you have never heard Drive like Jeru, you are a dumbhead!!!!

i just woke up so forgive my grammer and spelling.....I'm still sweating out last nights beer.........

holy fuck does the new Old 97s album suck balls. i'm 6 tracks through on the headphones and am about to barf. totally bland and uninspired. its like Fight Songs outtakes. i can't even finish it. this makes me incredibly sad.

it also, by comparison, makes the new marah album not seem like such a disapointment.

Finally found the new Drive-By Truckers.... giving it the first spin... I'm on track 4 ("putting people on the moon") and loving it. The first three sounded radio-friendly... too early to judge whether or not that is a good or bad thing, but they did not catch me first time off.

songs I really like at the moment are


  The Star Spangles  -  I don't wanna be crazy anymore

  Yung Wun - Tear it up

  Ben Kweller - The Rules


  I am suprised to hear that comment about DBT's new album.  The interview they had did in Blender made it sound like a really dark album.

I saw Beehive and the Barricudas open for Hot Snakes and HATED them.

Right now I'm listening to Olivia Tremor Control and their song "NYC 25"

Love the new Drive By Truckers!  It's yummy.

yeah, no crap. I saw them open for enon and it almost made me cry.

currently listening to:
Quiet Countries

Like anyone gives a shit but here is what I've had my ears on for the last week:

Har Mar Superstar's song DUI, alot like a Ron Jeramy Prince clone, but he has lost the mustache and I think this song is funny as shit (only because I new a guy like that).

The instrumental of the new Destiny Child song, the vocals suck and make me want to die, but Rodney Jerkins or who ever produced this used a sick drum loop.

Von Iva, I don't know who the are but these women make a nice groove, sort of a rock elecronica sort of thing (I think they are a bunch of women from other bands).

The new DJ shadow produced song for the new Blues Explosion album, a bunch of crunchy guitars with a deep bass.

Both of the new songs the Neptunes have put out, the Snoop one (the dirty not the radio version) and the song they did with Slim Thug.

And last but not least if you haven't heard the new Chromeo album (from the cats that used to do the hip hop reviews for Vice Magazine) . . . you suck!

I've been pumping the faint album. It's even better than danse macabre.

I just picked up a turntable, so I am rediscovering tons of old music. I hit up half price books yesterday and scored a 12" single of rick james' "sweet and sexy thing"(thang)

I also got this hilarious steve martin stand up album. Oh man, recorded in 1978 and everything is still funny!! The best part about steve martin is that he doesn't rely on ethnic humor to get laughs. one of the things he talks about is cat handcuffs. for their little front paws. He doesn't trust his cat. ohh goddd. I wish I could stream this stuff for all of you. It is GOLDEN!!

Finnaly got around to picking up Eagles of Death Metal.   I loves it.  Josh Homme is known as Carlo Von Sexron in this group.  I wish my name was Carlo Von Sexron or Dan "The Big Stick" Hefty.  Either way.  


  They are playing in Seattle soon.  The SHowbox I think.  I saw them open for PLacebo.  They were fucking great.  So was PLacebo.  One of my favorite concerts.

In my CD changer in the car I believe I have:

The Presidents of the United States : Love Everybody
Radiohead : The Bends
Wayne Shorter : Speak No Evil
The Beta Band : The Three EPs
Keith Jarrett : Trio at the Blue Note
Michael Jackson : Thriller (special edition)

I'm diggin the new Presidents album.

Been listening to.....


  Ian Brown - Solarized
  New solo efoort form former Stones front.  Like his other other stuff has a real cool electro rock stoner rock feel.  I just feel cool when I listen to him.  He has one of the most distinct voices.  

  Interpol - Antics    Finally got around to soaking this in.  There are some great cuts on this album.   Most notably the first two.  I guess I aman eigth grade girl.  I don't get this analogy?  Oh well.

I inherited the record collection of my boss. It has some pretty sweet stuff, all from the 80's, but good. I am finding out that in the 80's they built entire albums off of one good track. There was a lot of filler material back then, or people were just really shitty song writers, I haven't figured out which. but it is pretty consistent. On almost every record I have listened to, there are only one or two good songs.

I got two more rick james albums, thompson twins, stray cats, madonna's first album, duran duran, the cure, robert palmer(that dude is crazy), 2 david bowie albums, and so much other stuff I have never heard of.

oh yeah.

supertramp= shittiest band I have ever heard

correct mothrock. supertramp are one of the worst bands of all time. "The Illogical Song" is also perhaps the worst single ever recorded.

I been listening to:

The Glasses - The Glasses
Sure I'm biased but the guys really did it. This is a solid album top to bottom and I luvs it.

Drive By Truckers - The Dirty South
Still the best rock band in the world.

Martian Memo to God
This band's two song single is great. They are one of my fav local bands right now.

Matthew Shaw
Can't remember what the album is called, but he's a local guy and his debut album is fantastic, just like John Richards says. John Richards is so smart and cool and knowledgable. I wish I were John Richards.

Hives - Tyrannasaurus Hives
So what is these guys were picked by a Svengali after tryouts just like a boy band, they kick ass. Tracks 4 and 5 rock my ass.

Touchdown Eagle - Let's Eat Cake
These guys rule still. Best K band never signed to K.

this week is all about golden oldies of my early to middle twenties that remind me of girls that have broken my heart. Today's selection is Unbelievable truth's album "almost here"(unbelievable truth is thom yorke's brother's band), god the tears were welling up when I put this one on this morning.

not a good way to start your morning.

Drive By Truckers is on right now.

Earlier it was the new Hot Snakes, and the old Stooges.

Trunk federation.

New Social D!   Woooooo!     Woooooooo!   Wooooooo!


  Silvertide.   Cheesy butt rock.  Good times.

el radiohead

(radiohead sung in spanish, it's great!!!)

Ash's new album Meltdown is pretty good.  

   A few rap songs I came across that are yummy

  Skillz - Take it back
  K-os - B Boy Stance
  Murs - Bad Man
  Erik Sermon - Feel It
  Eminem - Just Lose it
  Northern State - The Party

Husker Du-- I don't care what you're drinking.

IN my current rotation

  Razorlight  -  i think this album just came out in the US.  It is good stuff.  

  22-20s  

  Kasabian   - kind've remind me of an updated Manchester sound.  

  Social D

The new Le Tigre album <<it's great after track 5!

and

Travistan (travis morrison)

I saw Travis Morrison live recently and it was seriously fucking terrible.

I don't get how you can say that Travis Morrison was terrible. I went to the show at the crocodile and I thought it was good.

what makes you think it was terrible?

his new band has only been together about a month, I would like to hear you and and the music project you assemble in a month sound that good.

I'll admit they are no dismemberment plan, but it's still travis's music and I'll defend it because I think he has a valid quirkiness to his music. He refuses to be genrefied, which I connect with.

I didn't say "his band was sloppy and poorly organized."
I said the music that they chose to make was simply bad.  It took the elements of Dismemberment Plan's music that were least compelling and pushed them to the forefront, and Morrison's lyrics this time out cross the line from "creative and ristky-- but it works" to fucking dumb as shit.
"Song For the Orca?"


eggghh.

I think the thing that confuses most people about travis is that he is not a serious guy. I think that is where some of the problems with dismemberment plan came about, it's such a serious type of band name, but when ever travis performs he has the biggest silliest grin on his face.  And if you listen to "change", a lot of the songs are autobiographical, and I think he just continued that trend. I don't have a problem with that, I think it's great. He's not out to change the world, he is singing about what he knows.

now for the album... yeah there is some irritating crap on there. Like the 4 different parts of "get me off of this coin" where he sings about the penny, the nickel, the dime and the quarter. He sings the song from the point of view of the president that is on each coin. I think he does this only because he lives in DC and stuff like this is actually funny there.

I beg to differ on the music being crap. There is so much worse stuff out there. I don't know where your standards are, but I think what he is doing is not crap. It is on a label, people are buying it. And he is touring.

so... let me ask you this. If travis morrison is crap, what do you think is good? what do you hold in such high esteem and is so lyrically superior? what amazing, phenomenol song writer do you think blows travis morrison out of the water?

i keep switching between pixies and pink floyd.... i like the letter 'p'...

Steve Reich.. and i know he's apparently a sellout but his music is cool.

I listen to cuts from

  22-20s

  Futureheads


 bought Dogs Die in Hot Cars.  terrible name, good album

Wow... a D-Plan argument on Nada. I ought to dig out the Morrison interview from the archive and give it another run.

you definitely should do that Carlo.

In other news, yeah!

The New Pornographers recording album

Tucked away in a studio in Vancouver BC's Downtown Eastside, the procreators of perfect pop are toiling away on their next epic masterpiece,
due out sometime in the fall.

The Bravery

I went and saw BOC in Tacoma on Sat.  

  Kick ass.

are you kidding me? Blue Oyster Cult? really?

where were you when you called me? i fell asleep watching TV on the couch. because i'm old and lame.

You saw the BOC?!?!  Did legendary guitarist/vocalist Buck Darma break it down in the middle of "Don't Fear the Reaper?"  How was "Burnin' For You?"  "Godzilla?"

Matthew I was on I-5 by Tully's when I called.  No I am not kidding.  I went to Blue Oyster Cult at The Emerald Queen Showroom w/ Wiggins and The Wife.  I have the tour shirt to prove it. It rocked ass.  


 Reaper, Godzilla and Burnin for You all were fantastic live Hosef.  There was about a four minute bass and drum solo during Godzilla.  O'Ded on Life itself was quite good as well.  And the people at the show.....precious.  


p.s.  That casino, not the boat, is ginormous.

I wore my SNIZZ shirt to the show.  Ran into a big agitated man from Wyoming who decidely wanted to kick my ass.  "What does that shirt mean," he asked me several times.  I told him it was just a nickname but he wasn't buying it.  The big fella was close talker. About 2 inches from face. That was really freaking me out.  Personal bubble! He said where he was from, snizz meant a liar and a cheater.  I laughed and mentioned that it also means poontang and shuffled away from the large man quickly.  

 I am a cheating, lying pussy.

Bobby Bare Jr.

  Mudhoney - Superfuzz Bigmuff

  New Order -  Waiting for the Sirens' Call

  Krokus

you like that Bobby Bare Jr album Snizz? its the goods.

what is "the siren's call" by new order?

--------------------------------------------------

i mostly have been listening to "At Dawn" by My Morning Jacket.

I mostly just keep listening toTerrible Sunrise.  great great lyrics.  


 Sirens' is the new New Order.  The record has not been released in US yet.  I got it off Rhapsody.

write a review of Sirens dumbass. or at least let us know here if its totally totally or el terible.

yes, Terrible Sunrise best song of 2004.

Yes, Arthur Snizzerelli, how is the New Order?

Also, do you have any of the new Oasis.  I heard "Lyla."  It was OK.

I didn't care for the Kaiser Cheifs song I heard.

I have listened to the New Order several times but mostly it has been in the background while I was doing something else.  So, I really don't know if it is good or not yet.  I like the single "Krafty."

  Have not heard Oasis.  They are touring the states w/ Kasabian and Jet.  So far no Seattle dates.  

  Heard a new Weezer single.  At first listen it sounded really cheesy.  

  Kaiser Chiefs album is asi asi.  I love "I Predict a Riot" though.

If you stop shaving your back whilst listening to music it will provide less distraction.

What's the poop on Bloc Party?  I keep reading about them and I think I heard a song on Time Warner cable's version of On Demand, but I can't remember it.

Don't know much about Bloc Party.  


  Just bought Ash - Meltdown

  I likes it.  I likes Ash.

Bloc Party are one of those groups that you really want to hate because every rock journalist alive is sucking their collective dick, but you can't because they totally rule. That song on in Demand is great, the album is great. I actually think these guys will be right in your wheelhouse Shabadoo. Check 'em out.

waylon jennings - honky tonk heroes
the gits - frenching the bully
laura viers  - the triumphs and the travalis...

I picked this up last weekend because I've been listening to more Waylon Jennings these days and figured his kid might be a little more up my alley. Man, was this terrible. I should have known since he was touring with Montgomery Gentry and Toby Keith. Again, just horrid.

acl

it definitely sounds like shooter owes more to garth brooks and tim mgraw than to his poppa. there are a few cool songs on it though.

I finally picked up Bloc Party.  It's one of the better discs I've heard recently.  "Banquet" is my early favorite for single of the year.  I be lovin' it.

i knew you would love that shit. they are so good.

Bloc Party is good.  I finally digested it.  


  Things that are bad

  Gorillaz - Demon Days

Post Stardom Depression is good rock and or roll

I've been listening to an advance copy of the new record by the Small Change... It kicks serious booty!

They just got it back from duplication, so it should be out soon. Keep your ears open.

Cheers,
Chris

I can't stop listening to these songs


  Magnolia Electric CO.  "The Dark Don't Hide It"

  Rock N Roll Soldiers  "Funny Little Feeling"

  A Band of Bees "Chicken Payback"  terrible or good?  I dunno.   Just can't stop...

  David Banner "Ain't Got Nothing"

  Tennis Pro  "Mixtape Song"

Has anyone else heard the album from Black Mountain? Over the last couple of weeks I have heard nothing but good things about them and incredulous reports of them opening for Coldplay at White River. I was at Best Buy tonight to get the new New Pornos, but I wasn't satisfied just giving them $9.99 so I grabbed the Black Mountain CD as well. So far:

Track 1 - Stupid, kinda Polyphonic Spree-ish
Track 2 - Awesome, very Black Sabbath (at least in the drum sound)
Track 3 - Okay

That's as far as I've gotten, but I definitely turned it way up when that second track came on.

acl

  As of today it listens to...

  The new Nada Surf and Dandy Warhols albums.  

 Rock N Roll Soldiers  - The Two EP's  I love this album.

I dug out my starlight mints cds.  ooooh sooo goood.

Other stuff I have been listening to via Rhapsody and have been enjoying

  Buffalo Tom - Birdbrain
  Throwing Muses
  Frausdots
  Greg Dulli's Amber Headlights
 New Idlewild
  Magnolia Electric Co.
  Mantronix
  Reverend Run's new single

The Go Team.  Album always puts me in a good mood.  Kind've of reminds me of The Avalanches a wee bit.  

  Bloc Party remixed.  Normally I hate remix albums but this has some good cuts on it.  

  David Banner's new album.  David Banner is cool.

Paul Anka's Rock Swings - Hally turned me on to this.  His version of Jump is priceless and it just sounds right.

I just bought the following:

Metric - Live it out
the evens
cut copy- bright like neon love

all pretty decent in my opinion.

still listenting a lot to both hold steady albums, as well as:

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
My Morning Jacket - Z
The Moriartys (www.myspace.com/moriartys)
Roger Alan Wade
The Old Haunts
Arcade Fire - Funeral
McLusky Do Dallas
Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs
New Kanye West

BTW Snizz -

a co-worker put me on to the Paul Anka CD. he made me a copy of it with the originals back to back with the covers. great stuff.

After a few listens I think I really like the new Strokes album.  


 Then again, most of youse bastards didn't like the second one so wtf do you know.

I didn't mind the last album, and I think this new one is pretty good musically. The jury's still out on the lyrics, though.

Sometimes I think  Blizzard of 77 and Blonde on Blonde by Nada Surf are some of the best songs I have ever heard.

A friend of mine sent me this link on My Space.  There supposed to be 75 bands depicted.   I couldn't find them all.  Kinda fun.  

http://www.heavy.com/heavy.php?channel=virginGame

Morningwood's album is kind've fun. They are in Seattle on the 24th at
 El Corazon.  Apparently singer Chantal Claret "molests"  a fan during take off your clothes. So...if you haven't had a date in awhile this might be the show for you.  

 Haven't heard the whole album yet, but the new Darkness video "One Way Ticket" is more fantastic stuff from them.

Apparently either everbody is ashamed to say what they are currently listening to or nobody enjoys talking about new music.  Whatever it is, I hate your all of ass faces.

I am listening to the Moriartys (www.myspace.com/themoriartys) and Art Brut and also Hart & the Hurricane and also Kanye West still.

"Blonde" and "77" are both achingly beautiful stuff. The new Nada Surf hasn't generated any of those moments for me yet, but it may be a creeper.

Hate to admit it but Erasure (old catalogue)
They are playing at Showbox in May, so I am gearing up...

im listening to nelly...well, i gotta say nelly simply rocks my world! couldnt last a day without listening to his music..

 Just listened to The Plains new album.  It is great stuff.  Hope to catch it live soon.

the plains are good i like them

all good things come to an end by Nelly Furtado. Cool song!
