Random WHAT ARE YE' LISTENING 2

Queensryche < *

yeah, pretty much anything is better than queensryche

[Fresh Prince]

What you'll find is that a lot of times, if a trend is pushed too far, and a backlash occurs, the thing to fill it is generally a stylistic opposite of what was popular before... Hence, 80's hair metal excess -> grunge -> boybands, etc.

So an acoustic revolution would be next....

RIP my Sony headphones

Left ear piece is dying out and I gotta replace em. Thousands of songs, we've been thick and thin. I had this pair for a fucking year. That's the longest ever. I usually go through headphones every 1-2 months. These are durable as fuck, compact, comfortable, and just all about great headphones.

Hopefully best buy still sells em because I'm gonna have to get new ones.




Seriously, those were the best headphones I ever had.  :'(

I got em because they were advertised as sports headphones and I wanted to listen to music while jogging without the band bobbing on my head repeatedly, or slipping out of my ear and shit. These did the job. They stood still during work outs, never fell out, had solid sound, and ere compact and durable.

Best headphones ever.

Cults EP is now on this website, available to download.  I don't know if this is new or not, but I know that people were desperate to try and find as much from them as possible and were angry that Go Outside was the only thing they could find.  So, there you go.

[Eric P]

speaking of Cults, someone in my neighborhood is blasting dreampop at obnoxious levels.

i am about to counteract with some black metal.

[TakingBackSunday]

just blare Slayer Goes to Church

...and Sleigh Bells.

[TakingBackSunday]

I enjoy Stars, 'specially that song.

Sleigh Bells is a baffle to me.  I like some songs alright, but it's way to drone for me.  Rill Rill is my favorite.

[Robo]

I love that Sleigh Bells album.  I think I blew out my car speakers listening to it over the weekend.

[Phoenix Dark]

audio quality sounds fucking horrible in the song I heard from that album. 

[Eric P]

today i heard the noisest punk ever

it was like black metal meets punk but w/o the blast beats

[TakingBackSunday]

audio quality sounds fucking horrible in the song I heard from that album. 

I guess it's part of the charm, and I usually enjoy something like that, but this album is a little too much noise for me.

The thing I keep thinking to myself while listening to it is "this track would be a pretty good backer to some Childish Gambino rapping."

Such a great cover.  I'm tempted to call "Brothers" one of the Black Keys very best albums.

[TakingBackSunday]

I think it is their best.  Certainly the best sounding.

[Robo]

Looks like we'll finally get to hear some new BATTLES this year... on the Twilight Eclipse soundtrack. 

Last two tracks on the deluxe edition:

16. Battles – “The Line”
17. Bombay Bicycle Club – “How Can You Swallow So Much Sleep”

[chronovore]

Enjoying the hell out of A Fine Frenzy after someone kind posted so many AFF videos in the outside link thread. Redhead plus piano equals win.

Been listening to We Are The Fallen today. My cousin got it. Sounds a lot like Evanescence (and it should considering 3 of its members were also originally in that band)

So shit?

  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(

I actually liked the first Evanescence album.

Yeah, me too. Good stuff, solidly in the nu-metal vein but Amy's vocals were always a bit borderline. I'll look into "We Are The Fallen."

Edit: emusic has the single. it is bonerrific.

[TakingBackSunday]

Jesus, this new LCD Soundsytem is not good.  Chalk another one of their albums to the shitty but still universally praised list.

[Robo]

I like it a lot, but I feel like he's too blatantly and too liberally lifting from other artists.  Nearly every song on the album sounds like it should have a co-writer credit.  On a few of them he should probably credit himself twice for rehashing shit from his last two albums.

Still, disingenuity (and Drunk Girls) aside, there's some pretty kickin' jams on there.

[Eric P]

been listening to a lot of Ty Segall recently.

[Beezy]

Gonna leave for this Janelle Monae show in a few minutes. I wish the rain would stop.

[Eric P]

thank god for the rain.  i'm hoping it will keep people away so it's not overpacked like a lot of other giant step events

[Eric P]

look for me, i'll be the hipster.  should be totally easy to spot

[Beezy]

look for me, i'll be the hipster.  should be totally easy to spot

No you won't, this is NYC.

I'll try though.

[Phoenix Dark]

Did you get to see her on stage?

[Eric P]

look for me, i'll be the hipster.  should be totally easy to spot

No you won't, this is NYC.

I'll try though.

ok i'll look for you.  you're black, right?  should be easy to see the black guy in a random NYC crowd.

[Positive Touch]

Gonna leave for this Janelle Monae show in a few minutes. I wish the rain would stop.

lucky

i was all psyched cuz she's opening for erykah badu here, but now the show's been postponed :'(

[Phoenix Dark]

why don't i live in NY reason #230522

[Beezy]

Did you get to see her on stage?

Yeah, highline ballroom is a small place. You have a decent view even at the back of the room.

[Beezy]

look for me, i'll be the hipster.  should be totally easy to spot

No you won't, this is NYC.

I'll try though.

[Beezy]

I'm on line right now. It's kinda long.

[Eric P]

I think I see you. 

[TakingBackSunday]

 

[Beezy]

I have no idea what you're wearing. Ur gonna have to find me

[Eric P]

Pm'd you my phone nunber. 

[Eric P]

BEEZY IS BLACK 

i kid, but that show was pretty damn cool.  probably the best i'd seen her.  she certainly learned from her time spent touring w/ Of Montreal.

[Beezy]

You do not look like a hipster!

And that was fucking amazing. I've been a fan of hers for a while now, but I fell in love when she sang Smile. I have to buy her album. After that performance I feel like I'm required to.

[Robo]

I kinda wish Green Shinboi were still here so I could see him try to defend the new Muse song.

Maybe the worse thing they've ever done.  Consider that for a moment.

It's impossible not to read into the lyrics even though you know it's bullshit.

[chronovore]

I've been enjoying two recent bands which make New Wave with a dark edge to it, almost '80s revival stuff: ThouShaltNot's The White Beyond and The Presets' Apocalypso.

[G The Resurrected]

Got myself a early present thanks to Pendulum

I got my collectors edition LP in the mail today

sadly the album is all over the place, not my favorite but its got potential to be remixed with some great live stuff.

[Kestastrophe]

Did anyone check out Distant Relatives yet?

[Reb]

No matter what happens, Nas won cause Kelis is fucking ugly.

[TakingBackSunday]

Rap-Bore, anybody listen to this Guilty Simpson album?  It's a Madlib production.  It's pretty sweet.

[Phoenix Dark]

Lots of skits/interludes 

[TakingBackSunday]

I noticed that too.  Oh well.
