What Are You Listening To Right Now? II

An excellent live performance of the best psychedelic rock song of the 90's.

I honestly do not get the disdain for The Incident. Honestly, I've liked every song so far, which is more than I can say for all of their previous material. This is worlds more consistent than In Absentia in my opinion.

That was the first Porcupine Tree record that I listened to, and I definitely agree. I like In Absentia quite a bit, but I like that one better. It's a great album all the way through while In Absentia drops off a bit in the middle.

Also, has anyone else ever noticed the similarities between Pink Floyd's "Dogs" and Porcupine Tree's "Time Flies"? I heard it from the first listen on, but you be the judge:

Spoiler for Dogs vs. Time Flies:

Might as well add what I'm listening to, and this album has had me by the balls lately.

I remember talking with someone about that on another thread (I think the In Absentia review thread). Personally I don't hear it, but meh.

It's in the song structure and chord progressions/phrasings mainly. It could very well be an homage to Pink Floyd like how Dream Theater's Octavarium is an homage to Shine on You Crazy Diamond by Floyd. Either way, Dogs is a fantastic song to begin with, so a song that sounds quite a lot like it is good in my book.

The perfect, gummy, guilty pleasure. An utter fixation.

Holidays in Europe - KUKL

An early version of the Sugarcubes(different guitar and bass players) with a more goth\post punk sound which really suits Bjorks vocals.

An all Japanese girl band who plays a combination of early black metal, crust punk, and doom metal. Sounds like some novelty hipster fad band, but the ass they kick is not.
