Hey we should talk about music

[Tidal Kraken]

I basically listen to nothing but T. Rex, Nick Cave, and The Jesus and Mary Chain anymore. Not really sure why but there you have it.


What do you people usually listen to? Any new releases you're looking forward too? Have an affinity for anime soundtracks?

Go.

[Jenius]

I used to listen to a lot of anime related music, but I got tired of it at some point because it's basically 99% pop. I still occasionally turn it on for nostalgia though.

Nowadays I mostly listen to metal (pretty much any subgenre that doesn't involve excessive growling, that shit is stupid) and classical.

[Shadow]

Lots of Smashing Pumpkins, T.Rex, and the Clash.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

[notallama]

excessive growling
i used to not like that.
then i found out that a lot of it was completely awesome if i just payed attention to the instruments and not the growling.
then i started to enjoy the growling. (well, some of it.)

i have been listening to mostly the same old crap recently. need stuff to download.

[Jenius]

Whats wrong with pop?

Not much, it just gets repetitive after a while. The songs start to blend together. Hence why I got tired of it.

then i started to enjoy the growling. (well, some of it.)

See I can't not pay attention to it. It'le have an epic intro and I'm getting pumped for an awesome song then some growler comes on and shits all over everything.

It's like a cockblock except for music.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

You enjoy rock more?

[Jenius]

You enjoy rock more?

Where did I even say I liked rock? I mean I do, but it's not listed as one of the genres I frequently listen to.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

No, you didn't. But when thinking of the source, I think rock...

Amirite? :)

[SizzlingStapleCider]

The Killers, Bloc Party, Chemical Brothers, some other dance and alternative stuff.

[notallama]

The Killers
those assholes are horrible.

well, they're medeocre, and i hear them too much.

[Yurgs]

Cocteau Twins, I'm always falling in love with one of their songs. Other than that them, an assortment of Post Punk, Industrial, Noise Rock and Indie Pop.

[Zerg]

Mosty metal (mostly with female vocals), some industrial (mostly NIN), some 90s rock, and some odd stuff here and there.

Jesus Lizard: Goat, Liar May 2009
Oh hey thanks for reminding me that I need to dl this. I lost my physical copy a few months ago at work.


Children of God by Swans is really damn creepy album. Like a Drug in particular weirds me out for some reason.

[Shadow]

Speaking of music one of my friends is starting to like Hipster music and saying I'm elitist about music because I don't open my mind to hipster music and it makes me angry, discuss.

Oh, you know: Arctic Monkeys, Test Icicles, Kaiser Chiefs. :V

[Psion]

None of that is hipster music except for maybe Test Icicles.

I'm pretty sure I was mocking something, but one can never be so sure.

[Psion]

What defines hipster music by the way?

[Shadow]

It pisses me off cause he'll ask why I don't like a band and apparently "they are shitty" isn't a good enough answer.

[Tidal Kraken]

What defines hipster music by the way?

Whether or not their last.fm default picture is in color or black and white.

[Shadow]

Oh, and I'm listening to the Mahavishu Orchestra.

check them out, yo.

[Fluke Hawkins]

Depends on my interests at any given moment, but I will always listen to NIN. Lately, I've been listening to the new Prodigy album (can't wait for a non-transcoded version to come out, Run With the Wolves is one of the best tracks and sounds less than 128 k on my version) and some stuff by this Dutch group called Nobody Beats the Drum.

[Shadow]

I don't like NIN but I saw them live, which was cool.

[Yurgs]

Its also a really bad album. ÷÷÷÷ing hate Swans. So much better music came out of that scene.

But yea the Jesus Lizard albums are pretty alright.

I like Swans. Moreso for Gira's later folksy stuff, but the heavy rawness of of their early albums still pleases my ears.

I've lost most of my appreciation for NIN. Besides his instrumental tracks, I've outgrown my angst and just can't relate to the tunes anymore.

What are some good albums that came out last year? I've been delving too much in old music.

[Jenius]

Mosty metal (mostly with female vocals), some industrial (mostly NIN), some 90s rock, and some odd stuff here and there.



Re: anime pop: INITIAL D OWNZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Oh man Initial D music made that series awesome. The music was cheesy as hell but it fit.

[KaleiÐoscøpe]

This reminds me some bands have awful names

[good news]

mmmm the music tapes are really good too. and they're coming to my town in a week or two

[Tidal Kraken]

Yo if someone can send me Jacula's In Cavda Semper Stat Venenum or just the song Trimphatus Sad I'll be your best friend. who am i kidding?

[Jenius]

Man you people listen to a bunch of shit I've never heard of. Is any of it actually good or you just listen often enough to be able to legitimately say you listen to them?

[good news]

Oh lol, I can't tell the difference between you and Shadow. I'm a rere.

Aren't The Music Tapes Elephant Six (thus bad) related?

Yes- former neutral milk hotel, not bad.

[Shadow]

[Fluke Hawkins]

As an aside: Anybody have a what.cd account?

[Tidal Kraken]

Guys, I need to listen to some iconic rap.

[Shadow]

I want to listen to them gansta beats.

[Tidal Kraken]

Try their Wu-Tang Style.

also just google golden age of hip-hop, click the wiki link and listen to the albums mentioned

I feel like I need to expand my collection. :V

[Hallways of Always]

Playing the everloving piss out of the new Animal Collective. It's great, incredibly catchy music, but it's not the Animal Collective I love most. I'm pretty sure this is just me, though; I'm the kind of person that thought Spirit They've Gone Spirit They've Vanished was brilliant.

The last three things on your list make me want to vomit.

And +t, I actually love Thom Yorke's vocals and lyrics, but it's definitely a matter of opinion. Of their work, In Rainbows is definitely my favorite, but Hail to the Thief comes in at a VERY close second, even if it gains a ton of points conceptually.

I honestly have no clue how I feel about The Killers! On the one hand, they're whiney, melodramatic, Coldplay-esque alt rock. On the other hand, I love them.

Anyone listen to Citizen Cope?

Maybe because you don't know good music? I know it's cool to hate Coldplay but Chris Martin is a great song writer and Death Cab and Kings are both great bands. You should broaden your horizons a little more.

Coldplay, along with Death Cab and Kings are uninspired, plastic Radiohead pretenders. Whenever I hear their songs, I feel like they were shat out of a computer. Also, Grammy-winning Viva la Vida? Stolen for Joe Satriani.

So I just got really sad because after this round of touring, NIN is going on haitus. D:

First of all, I'm sick of the Coldplay comparisons to Radiohead. They have similar music styles the same way that Boston and Journey do, but that doesn't make Journey plastic pretenders. Chris Martin writes great emotional songs that sometimes Thom Yorke can't compete with. The Scientist? Violet Hill? Very few songwriters can give a song as much emotion as Chris Martin does with Coldplay.

Saying that Death Cab is a Radiohead pretender is retarded, the bands are nothing alike. And it's very obvious that you have never heard the Kings of Leon if you think they were even inspired by Radiohead, they're much more like The Strokes than anything. Still they are incredibly unique and can't really be compared to any other band, certainly not Radiohead. Perhaps you should listen to music before you make baseless criticisms.

[jok3r]

Elliott Smith
Islands
Band of Horses
The Decemberists
Denali (some of their stuff, not all)
Hmm... not sure what other indie-ish ones I like.

The Radiohead thing was aimed at Coldplay. Kings of Leon and Death Cab are still pretty uninspired.

lol @ pretty boy getting worked up over me criticizing his alt rock circle-jerk

bigger lol @ at me not liking mainstream shitty alt rock = narrow-mind

[Lt_Pinkerton]

Yes it does. Journey is largely considered a studio band.

Being a studio band doesn't make you a pretender, so what if they sucked live? They wrote good music.


If you like emotion prepackaged, sure.

I'm not sure I know what this means.

[Tidal Kraken]

Radiohead- "experimental" music for pussies
Coldplay- Radiohead for pussies

They used to play my college every year in the spring at our house party, which is basically 96 hours of blackouts for anyone who's ever participated in one. I may have told this story before, but one year I was completely wrecked from from the night before and we started hitting the beer bongs at something like 10 AM the next morning. These guys were always super cool when they played there, often stopping to banter and pass bottles of booze out into the crowd and whatnot. Anyhow, this year at one point, they stop playing and started passing a bowl around on stage, when Jimmy Haha looked out in the audience and was like, "Hey you guys want some?", and one of the other guys said, "Nah man, these kids are all into their X and shit", at which point I felt the need to yell "÷÷÷÷ ECTASY! ACIIIIIIIIDDDD!!!!"

There was a slight pause, and Jimmy Haha said, "I bet that's the first time anybody's seen that dude all semester."

I just want you all to know that there is a song called "Freak Gasoline Fight Accident"

Here are the lyrics:all hail the unseen one he who dances in the shadows
bathing in the darkness exuding from the very bowels
of mankind, with such longanimity had he tolerated
this anomie, but now with unimagined malice he prays
for an end to the atrocity known as man

(chorus)
and when the world finally comes to an end,
he'll simply laugh and smile, for he would take such
comfort in knowing there would be no tomorrow, he'd
take such comfort in knowing we will never see another day

Sweet irony has reared itself again, in that the
one who is disgusted with the way mankind has
degenerated wishes for all that is living to suffer

Understand that he is hopeless, he is bitter, and
he is filled with great spite, from witnessing first
hand man's decline, he is simply hopeless, he is
bitter and is filled with great spite

(chorus)

Bidding Farewell to a loathesome world...



It's actually pretty good by bad metal standards :V

I've decided that hip-hop artists like Pharoahe Monch are my favotire in case anyone cares.

[Yurgs]

really digging Black Kids.

considering branching more into rap and hip hop for my listening. Rap is the best thing to listen to while driving, and since I don't own a car, perhaps I should just stick to my white boy music.

Apparently Sufjan Stevens.

[Fluke Hawkins]

Thinking about banning this moron.

On topic: I've never heard Ironman. I really like Supreme Clientele and Fishscale. The thing about those two ghostface albums is that they just don't sound that wu tang to me. They don't have enough RZA production.

RZA did the Afro Samurai soundtracks. I liked them, and I'm not a big fan of hiphop/rap (to the point of I don't know the difference between the two).

[Lt_Pinkerton]

Menos el Oso by Minus the Bear is another really good one.

I'm digging El-P currently.

Because I am whiter then hell.

El-P's cool. He has some far-out shit.

THREAD NECRO

So I saw this dude named Robert Francis on Carson Daly's late-night abortion of a TV show last night. Anybody ever heard of this guy? He put on a pretty amazing performance and I was inspired to look him up today now that I'm more conscious than I was last night at 2:30AM. After listening to his stuff from various websites, I'm appalled that I enjoyed someone so wishy-washy and folksy.

Here's a link to the video (song starts about 2:07 in):

Compare with shitty studio version:

Seems like he suffers from "much-better-live" syndrome.

[Shadow]

oh huh. Not many people are better live than studio work. Well, actually, that's wrong. I think lots of bands and artists play differently than they would in a studio. I wouldn't say if it is better or not cause when you go to a show it's supposed to be engaging and interesting and fun. Like the band is supposed to suck you in and you have to play differently than you would in a studio to get that so sometimes the music just isn't as good. And if they don't have a good sound guy. :V

and why did you have to be so mean to me fonzy? :(

Well the thing is that if I could buy an album of songs like the one on the Carson Daly show, I would do it. The actual recorded songs I'm hearing? Yeah, bland and boring and I'm not interested.

What do you mean, faggot?

Too bad Carson Daily is a faggot.

This was a reference to the albums I recently purchased. :(

Oh yeah, that. Well the thing is that I was a teenager during the years that douchey 90s alt-rock hipsterism was going on. I listened to the Pixies, Pavement, Dinosaur, Jr., Sonic Youth, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Mudhoney, etc., etc., for a good couple years and pretended to like them because I was impressionable teenager trying to fit in with the hip crowd, but now that I look back, it seems to me like most of it was never that good to begin with. I was also stoned a lot back then, so...

[Shadow]

But I actually like them. I'm really not a hipster at all I just happen to like some music that hipsters like.

[Fonzy]

More power to you then, I don't think it's that good. All I'm saying is that for me it was more a "scene", so to speak, than actual good music to listen to.

[Shadow]

I definitely see how people would like them just because it's a social thing. This is most of the main reasons I hate pitchfork.

[Fonzy]

Actually, I lied about Robert Francis, this song is amazing:

And the more I listen to the studio version of the other song, the less I hate it. I will probably buy this album.

[Fonzy]

Bumpin' dis thread.

CD purchases:

Robert Francis
Couldn't resist the impulse to buy this. It's oooook; has it's moments, but it's definitely not a CD I could listen to a thousand times over like other ones I own.

Eminem - Relapse
I was really let down by this record. It's got its moments, but overall it seems like the dude's losing his edge.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - It's Blitz!
WTF techno album. I want to like it...but I just can't.

...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes
Resisted them for a long time because I heard they were hipster art-rock, but this album is pretty good and gets lots of listens from me.

Them Crooked Vultures
Amazing.

Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris
Not their best, but still pretty good. I've become a huge Josh Homme groupie.

Black Francis - Bluefinger
I think Teenager of the Year is better all-around, but I like some individual songs on this album better than anything on TotY. I should probably get more of his solo stuff, as those are the only two albums of his I have.

Velvet Revolver - Libertad
I've only listened to this once so far and now I'm not exactly sure why I bought it. Most of the songs seem standard and yawn-inducing.

Lacuna Coil - Shallow Life
Probably the last Lacuna Coil album I'll ever buy. Boring.

[Cara]

...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead - Source Tags and Codes

I like Worlds Apart more, maybe check that one out.

Source Tags and Codes never clicked for me.

[Shadow]

Fonzy, I liked It's Blitz! I don't know why though.

and I think Them Crooked Vultures is boring and fuck super groups.

[notallama]

i just discovered that ram-zet has a new album. this pleases me, but i only listened to one song so far.

also, i got 'chromeo - fancy footwork' as a gift. it's pretty alright.
this song off the next album is good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppNC0uAaCv0

[Purple_Shrimp]

The Zombies are pretty good

[Shadow]

The Zombies are pretty good

Oh god, is that the only band you listen to?

[Purple_Shrimp]

no

[Fonzy]

Fonzy, I liked It's Blitz! I don't know why though.

I can appreciate it for what it is, but I have too much testosterone to authentically enjoy it, for the most part.

I super like JPJ but yeah, it just isn't that interesting.

[Fonzy]

I think you might need to listen to it again. The break in No One Likes Me and Neither Do I? The overall awesomeness of Mind Eraser, No Chaser? The keyboards in Scumbag Blues? Caligulove? Gunman? Dead End Friends? Bandoliers? etc,. etc. Not interesting? You're joking, right?

[Shadow]

For you I'll listen again but in general I find that super groups can't focus well on writing music. Usually in a band one or two members are the driving force in the creative process with small contributions from the other members. In super groups everybody is really talented or main song writer from their respective groups which leads to a mix of alright ideas but so unfocused that it's just not good.

[Shadow]

why am I not seeing pete yorn and scarlett johansson on any top of 2009 lists? :V

[Fonzy]

I assume you really like Kyuss, right? I mean, I like Sleep a whole lot more, but Blues for a Red Sun is pretty essential listening.

I actually haven't gotten that far yet.

[Cara]

why am I not seeing pete yorn and scarlett johansson on any top of 2009 lists? :V

Because the best album of the year is Entertainment by Fischerspooner, obviously.

[good news]

Albums I want from 2010: xiu xiu- dear god i hate myself

Albums I like from 2009:
bitte orca
the xx
fever ray
THE FAME MONSTER

[good news]

hahaha. they're coming out with a new album? i like knife play and a promise so i may have to check this out.
Yeah, though Women As Lovers didn't really do it for me so I hope this one is better. the title sounds promising and hilarious.

[Cara]

Serious question: Am I the only person on this earth who adores Animal Rights by Moby?

[Fonzy]

Probably. I mean I've never heard it, but my general impression of Moby is that he's a tool and therefore I wouldn't like his music.

[Cara]

It's like a Punk or NIN album or something.

[Cara]

Same album.
