Random WHAT ARE YE' LISTENING 2

[Akala]

I think I like Best Coast.

[TakingBackSunday]

I enjoy several tracks on that album for sure.  It's incredibly shallow, but fun all the same.

[BlueTsunami]

ok well if you like Kayo, check out Extra Life and Charlie Looker in general.

http://www.myspace.com/extralifetheband

Hell yes, I'll definitely check 'em out

Also I've been reminded in the GAF Modern 80's thread about how much I love Glass Candy's Digital Versicolor...

[Himu]

that thread owns

80's sound owns

[Eric P]

anyone mention gordon voidwell?  he's probably too outre' for gaf

i'm going through and listening to a lot of dance stuff recently

the move away from dubstep back to 2 step is a great thing for garage fans

[Groogrux]

DL'ed the Gorillaz discography today! 

[Phoenix Dark]

Grew on me a lot over the last couple weeks

[archie4208]

Someone hand me a scarf.

[TakingBackSunday]

Arcade Fire fans don't wear scarves

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Just listening to "older" stuff.

Still beautiful 2 years later.  Love the lyrics too.

Like a moth she moves to the red light
Her blood warms and boils there
She skims the sweat like a new milk
And pops the buttons off her wet blouse

Oh Queen of the Night!
(All of her soft parts call to me)
Well she is deep inside!
(She could be mine)
She is haunting me!

She digs her nails into her naked chest
Miles of veins fan out like a road map
She pulls back the skin to show her ribs
That twinkle like shooting stars.

Oh Queen of the Night!
(All of her soft parts call to me)
Well she is deep inside!
(She could be mine)
She is haunting me!

[pilonv1]

new Weezer song

Free for a day.

If you're into choral music definitely give this a listen...



Rachmaninoff <3

Also for those of you who have watched Akira and know the music...

[youtube=560,345]mdRAQWp73S4[/youtube]

...very, very good. There's an ominous sort of discord sound throughout the whole track and eeriness. I've yet to get the album the track resides in but I need it.

[BlueTsunami]

Hahahah, my sister was using my cousins iPod and she was blasting Maxi Priest





Blast from the friggin' past

[Eric P]

the Pregnant LP is pretty awesome.

i am trying to write up a review but work is being rather painful this week

[Eric P]

tragically mis-titled as nothing else really came along like that album

[TEEEPO]

yeah  :'(

[Saint Cornelius]

Just downloaded the new Autolux from eMusic... looking forward to listening to it on the commute home.

i love the piano part that starts at about 1:25. too bad it's so short. and the drums kinda ruin it.

does anyone know of songs that sound similar to that part? post it.

Janelle Monae and Arcade Fire doing a show in Toronto tomorrow. Wish I lived in Canada

well actually I don't wish I lived in Canada. But I wish I was there tomorrow

[BlueTsunami]

I love Kruder and Dorfmeister's K&D sessions so I'm happy I found this (apparently a side project from Richard Dorfmeister)...







...definitely a fantastic flow. I absolutely adore the low-fi faded sound that artists in this genre like to utilize.

[BlueTsunami]

The 80s were so awesome for music

No doubt, I've been listening to Cocteau Twins for a while and recently heard this track off of "Stars and Topsoil" just now...



I love Shoegaze but I don't think any band in this genre has really nailed the nice balance of dreamy and menacing as Cocteau Twins has.

[Saint Cornelius]

High Chair is an awesome track.

Indeed it is! I'm thinking Supertoys and Audience Pt. 2 are my favorites. Carla's singing on the chorus of Supertoys gives me goosebumps!

All in all it's a good album but not near the brilliance that was Future Perfect. I miss the little interludes between songs!

[drohne]

at the drive in, the make up, pigeonhed, white stripes

also lots of fucking elliot smith, but that almost goes without saying

[Eric P]

lots of Defektors, Moonhearts and Pregnant

[T-Short]

I love Kruder and Dorfmeister's K&D sessions so I'm happy I found this (apparently a side project from Richard Dorfmeister)...

hehe. so I guess you checked out Peace Orchestra? which is Kruder's old thing. was pretty nice back in the day. cool cd with a bandaid on the cover with the logo printed on it.

[youtube=560,345]8OOYz--ChVk[/youtube]

also you should check out Xploding Plastix. especially the first album.

Good looking out, Hyoushi! Its funny, a couple of hours ago a song played on the main radio stream I listen too and when I looked up at the track it was Peace Orchestra. I Google the band/artist name and track and Google tells me its Kruder's side thing. Hahahaha. I guess both Kruder and Dorfmeister as individual artists resonate with me.

I'll definitely check out Xploding Plastix stuff too.

[Raban]

Just got this and it's blowing my mind. Super disjointed and lacking in any flow or groove, but for some reason it's hooked me. So fucking good.

(Image removed from quote.)

i've been asked to review this so that's what i'll be doing for the next howeverlong

[Howard Alan Treesong]

[Robo]

new Screaming Females

[drew]

i cant listen to bls without thinking of sons of anarchy anymore, i used to be a fan when i played guitar, back when the blessed hellride came out, i still have the live dvd

[Powerslave]

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

The Final Frontier has some awesome songs on it. 

the intro Satellite 15

[BlueTsunami]

 

Also I've been digging this site for finding similar artists...

http://www.tastekid.com

[BlueTsunami]

The drum solo around 7 minutes? Is fucking ridiculous. The whole track is ridiculously good and apparently its very hard to find (physical copies and legit digital copies) so if anyone likes what they hear, let me know, I can re-upload the album to send space and you can grab it.

[Brehvolution]

Sometimes I forget that it's not Ozzy singing. They sound a lot alike imo.

[tiesto]

Finally heard this, lol. Justin Bieber slowed down so much it turns into an ambient song.

[TakingBackSunday]

[Groogrux]

That Cee-lo song is just awesome.

[tehjaybo]

Listening to The Rough Customers, local ska band.  Their first album released last night, and I grabbed a copy.  It's friggin awesome. 

[duckman2000]

ska

[TEEEPO]

lately i've been making mix tapes of what i've been listening to and passing them on to friends, or mainly a particular friend. if anyone's interested i'll upload them as they come.

anyhow, i just discovered this awesome post-hardcore band from the 80s, honor role.

[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

so eric, anything else out there that sounds like this?

[tiesto]

Currently listening to this:



gusgus is awesome, even though I can't say I'm too appreciative of the name "Lady Shave" 

SO MANY MEMORIES!

[youtube=560,345]EzPQq8F5N3E[/youtube]

This one is also great:

not that i can think of off hand.  i know it exists because that sounds a lot like some uk stuff and mid west stuff that i have only a passing familiarity with. 

maybe airfix kits?

but that's a bit too jumped up and hyper

let me do some digging round
