Listening Pleasure and Recommendations

[Bob]

What you guys listening to then, or think everyone should be listening to?

I'd say, try these;

Martin Grech 'Open Heart Zoo'
Seafood 'As The Cry Flows'
Interpol 'Turn Down the Bright Lights'

I also think that Prince's new set, 'Musicology' is pretty good, but I need to listen to it some more :)

Old stuff in the car mostly: Buzzcocks "Singles Going Steady" and a Hank Williams compilation (!).

Also downloading more old stuff. I am old. Official.

But there are only so many variations on the guitar fretboard, so I think the old stuff kicks ass. :D :D :D

Hey Bill! Squeeze kicks ass! I haven't listened to them in a long, long time. Now I need to locate my "Black Coffee in Bed" CD.

Quick check shows that last 10 artists I played were :

Gene Clark
Faust
David Bowie
Chris Bell
Galaxie 500
Josef K
Mazzy Star
Brian Eno
Broadcast
Kinski

Which kind of suggests I'm in a backward looking mood.

Stereolab! One of my favorites, too. It was a very sad day for me last December.

[DeeCrowSeer]

Music I'll admit to having listened to today:

Ben Folds Five - Naked Baby Photos
Nirvana - In Utero
Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill (sing-a-long fun!)

And later I'll probably watch my free Kerrang! DVD with a Distillers video on it and stare at Brody Dalle's navel over and over and over and over again.

All-time favourite band of all-time: L7

Our Lady Peace - Spiritual Machines
Our Lady Peace - Gravity
Garbage - Version 2.0
Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting
Blue أ–yster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin
Various Artists - Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits

Outstanding.

With the exception of BOC (not that they are bad, just never got into them much), that is a killer list. OLP is excellent (Clumsy and Gravity are my personal favorites), Version 2.0 is way underrated next to the debut album, and Concrete Blonde can do no wrong as far as I am concerned (love Free).

And if you subsisted on cartoons as a kid, you simply cannot beat Tripping Daisy's cover of the Sigmund and the Seamonsters theme or the Ramones doing "Spider-Man" from the Saturday Morning's Greatest Hits CD.

[Theocrat]

Well then:

Exodus - Tempo of The Damned
Overkill - Killbox 13
Tankard - Beast of Bourbon
Sepultura - Beneath The Remains
Sepultura - Arise
WASP - Neon God

I like "Open Up Your Heart And Let the Sunshine In" too, but it's hard to pick a favourite. That is a great CD! Go Speed Racer, go!!! (I don't even really know who Speed Racer is, but whoever he is, I'm pretty sure he should "go")

D...

[PsychicWarVeteran]

I don't even really know who Speed Racer is...

8O D, he only had the coolest freaking race-car ever!
I give you... The Mach 5!



Speed Racer was a cheesy anime cartoon from when I was really young (original release was in 1966, the year I was born). The animation was crappy, the dialog poorly translated, but I loved it more than anything else on TV. I actually have a 1/18 scale replica of the Mach 5. It's one of my most cherished toys!

[ThomasL]

Veteran-

Got to see BOC and Motorhead on the same bill at an outdoor show in '93. Awesome! So close, I could feel the amp waves over and around me! 8)

Like the Concrete Blonde. Got Bloodletting and Walking in London. Good Stuff! As well as Saturday Morning Cartoons. There is a story regarding that cd and a New Year's Eve party.
I won't repeat it here. :lol:

Forgot to mention; I will always commend Bjork, too. Her last two albums, 'Homogenic' and 'Vespertine', were works of art. She's so damn cute, too.
