am i the only one who feels that this thread deserves to be stickied?

just a thought.

I think it's bumped enough that it doesn't need to be. Sometimes stickied threads get ignored because they're static.

Sorry to make a big post that's only a list. A lot hasn't been listened to yet or much. Binging on the Jello Biafra and Henry Rollins spoken word stuff a lot this week, it was great to pass the time with at work. I'm pretty excited about the new HEALTH remix albumm and the Chinese Stars album I haven't heard. Evillive II was pretty bad. I'm a fan of both the Danzig and Graves era Misfits but Graves is pretty lousy live and really butchered Danzig's songs.

Good album that - I think I prefer Strange Times though. Have you heard anything of theirs before?



I downloaded this after seeing Alien Sex Fiend mentioned in Janszoon's thread... keen to give it a listen when I have a spare moment.

Nothing yet. A song from this album came up when listening to Fad Gadget radio on last.fm and it caught my attention.

Love that band and that album. They are so much fun, I'm also a sucker for male-female vocals.

Anathema-We're Here Because We're Here

Loved the Anathema. First listen to them ever, downloaded somewhat on a whim. Amazing atmospheric rock. Mixed by Steven Wilson from Porcupine Tree and it's definitely audible. So good, will definitely be working my way back through their discography now.

Just listened to the "critically acclaimed" Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective.

Meh, it's alright and some of the melodies/production is pretty cool but what gives? Have of the songs barely have discernable beat, words, or even melody. Atmospherically a bit pleasing but I can't see this being considered the best album of 2009 by any stretch. Then again I'm not the biggest indie fan ever... I tend to prefer music with a steady rhythm, bassline, big chorus, etc.

Overall I appreciate them doing something different but for me it's like C to C+ album

How to Destroy Angels - How to Destroy Angels

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg

Since it's free and all. Otherwise wasn't too interested in hearing it due to the chicky vocals.

It gets better with each listen. I couldn't stand it at first.. then I got into it and then got into some of their older stuff as well. Give it time and it should be a B+ at least. (Although I don't really get the A B C way of grading, I use numbers.)

The Melvins - The Bride Screamed Murder (2010)

Not the biggest Melvins fan in the world but I figured it should be an entertaining CD none the less.

Finally...

^ Love that SDRE, and need to get that Melvins soon. PNW represent!


Omar Rodriguez Lopez Quartet - Sepulcros De Miel

http://bandcamp.com/files/35/97/3597274521-1.jpg

It is available for free (or rather, name your price) here. I haven't heard his last few, as he puts out too much stuff and it's hard to keep up, plus they can be pretty wanky.

One reviewer on RYM says, "Very reminiscent of early The Mars Volta albums. Highly recommended for fans of De-Loused in the Comatorium, Frances the Mute, or psychedelic music in general." That's enough for me.

Nice, I'm only familiar with his very early solo stuff tbh. I quite like Cyborg from 1973 but it is undoubtedly a challenging listen with its 100 mins of minimalist, eerie, cold and unforgiving dronescapes.

it gets a lot less experimental as the years go on. his newer stuff is really quite good judging from the little i've been able to check out since yesterday. more melodic, more modern...

so far though, my favorite has to be Body Love, an ambient porno soundtrack from 1977. now if i could only track down the actual video... :D

More melodic and modern is what came to mind when I watched that Mephisto video. And I had no idea he wrote a soundtrack for a porno - that's hilarious :laughing:

LISA HANNIGAN - SEA SEW (2008)
Vocalist from Damien Rice's records first full length debut album.

http://www.island50.com/assets/image...JohnMartyn.jpg
JOHN MARTYN - SOLID AIR (1973)
Because its about time i listened to more than just his first two records.

http://www.heavyharmonies.com/cdcove...AXON_TVBOS.JPG
SAXON - THE VERY BEST OF SAXON 1979 - 1988 (2007)
Because they are playing Download and im not quite sure if i want to watch them yet. I know some Saxon stuff but when it came to starting to grab certain albums I didn't have a clue so went for this for starters.

http://hangout.altsounds.com/geek/ga...-low-rehhs.jpg
DEFTONES - DIAMOND EYES (2010)
I wanted to hear this one anyway but they are also playing Download so wanted to give it a spin beforehand.

It's interesting that you didn't start out with Solid Air. It's a wonderful album and definitely my favourite ever folk release. I love this verse from Don't Want to Know:

Yes, it's getting hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
'Cause all around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotised


As for Saxon, they're a bit dated and cheesy but if you don't mind that and you like NWOBHM then Wheels of Steel will be right up your alley. I still need to hear the new Deftones.

Yeah im pretty sure i know what to expect from Saxon. Maybe nothing id fall in love with but they could be fun live. I dont think i would pay to go a gig of theirs so if theres no other band on at the same time that i really wanna see then ill probably use that opportunity to check them out. I would like to have heard a little more before i do that. If i like the compilation, i might well check out that album.

And as far as John Martyn goes, i started at the beginning. I usually do. I never got past the first two albums.

Such a great album. The Colbert bump really does work.

I just gave it a listen. I dont like to judge albums upon their first spin but I enjoyed it. Presumably it can be classed, above all else, as a folk record but it was quite poppy in places too. It was a pleasant enough album to listen to for sure.

Hahaha that's the American in me

Awesome!

The last album I downloaded was "Sitting Army" by Cobra Skulls.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2302/...36fee7b6ba.jpg
Physically bought.

Have you heard Pride? If so, how does that one compare to it?

I belive the last album I bought was Led Zeppelin I on CD. I have it on LP, but I dont have a record-player in my car, so this was strictly necessary.

Swirlies - Blonder Tongue Audio Baton
This band were staring at me for ages in my last.fm recommendations so i finally gave into them and downloaded this for free off their website. I'm certainly enjoying this, with their highly textured-sound comprised of Sonic Youth-esque guitars, complex rhythms and boy-girl vocals, and also an added sense of humour. Great stuff. I'll try and get around to their other albums and EPs in the not so distant future.

So you started with this album? It's great, to be sure...but I can't recommend "They Spent Their Wild Youthful Days in the Glittering World of the Salons" enough...sooooooo good. I know I've mentioned it a ton around here as well.

More people need to listen to the Swirlies.
