What are you listening to?

TheGamer · Post by **TheGamer** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 11:41 pm

when I'm tired of listening to all the negativity of the Chicago Sports scene on The Score or ESPN 1000 sportstalk radio, I've been listening to Dr. Dre "The Chronic", Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" and Ice T's "Original Gangster"

Queen - The Platinum Collection
Green Day - American Idiot, still...started listening to Kerplunk again too.

Will shortly be adding the debut album by obscure, very peculiar Brit band Do Me Bad Things to that list. Eagerly awaiting the new Oasis album, although I'm certain I already know what it'll sound like. In truth, I guess that's why I'm eagerly awaiting it...also going back and listening to old Britpop, being an indie kid at heart - Suede, Supergrass and all that.

Dave, given that I only know one Half Man Half Biscuit song (Bob Wilson Anchorman), is their back catalogue worth me exploring?

Cheers,
Adam

*Edit - now with added Dave.

Are you Tim Lovejoy in disguise? Or is it just an English thing?

Simo

If song titles like

The Referee's A-Z
("The N is for the numbskull who during the Boxing Day game asks me what else I got for Xmas besides my whistle. 'An afternoon with your wife, mate'")

Gubba Look-alikes
Len Ganley Stance
Trumpton Riots
Dickie Davies Eyes
San Antonio Foam Party
He Who Would Valium Take

don't whet your appetite, then nothing will.

PM me, and I'll sort you out. How can you not love a band who refused to appear on the Tube because it clashed with a Tranmere Rovers home game ?

Metal
Angra - Temple of Shadows
Tad Morose - Modus Vivendi
Into Eternity - Buried In Oblivion

Non-Metal
Tim McGraw - personal mix of songs
Duran Duran - Astronaut
Dan Reed Network - mix of everything

Having a 20gig MP3 player has been wonderful. Instead of sitting in front of a giant cabinet full of CDs wondering what to bring in the car or to work, I can always just run genres (or the whole player) on random and see what comes up

No, it's one of his comedy albums but I've been listening to it so I included it.

His latest standup on HBO was freakin' hillarious. I've always been a fan of his.

Post by **ScoopBrady** » Tue Mar 22, 2005 2:15 pm

Yeah, I watched that one too. IMO Jeni is very underrated in comedy.

Just picked up the CD a couple weeks ago and have been listening to it a lot. It is the perfect mix of Prog\power\Death Metal.

I read about them on Century Media's website. Checked out some tracks at Amazon and was hooked. Great stuff - Dream Theater, Opeth, and Nevermore all rolled into one

Sounds like something I should check out then as I like all 3 of those bands.

Tell me I don't share my taste in music with that little git...not totally certain why I don't like the smug little smarmbucket, but there we are.

Airdog · Post by **Airdog** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 2:08 am

Iron and Wine - Woman King EP
Spoon - Many random MP3s
Arcade Fire - Funeral (for like six months now)
The Unicorns - Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?
Bright Eyes - Lifted (Or The Story In The Soil), I'm Wide Awake - It's Morning, Digital Ash In a Digital Urn
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
K-os - Joyful Rebellion
Elliott Smith - Entire discography, pretty much
Nick Drake - discography
The Decemberists - Picaresque
The Shins - Oh Inverted World!, Chutes Too Narrow

many others... I listen to a lot of music. Too much, probably.

No such thing, my man! It's impossible to OD on music, in my opinion.

Rock on!

Take care,

Badger_Fan · Post by **Badger_Fan** » Wed Mar 23, 2005 3:03 pm

These are about the only threads that pull me out of lurker status...

Bright Eyes - Lifted, Wide Awake, and Digital Ash are all wonderful.

Josh Rouse - Nashville. His newest is as good as his other stuff. If there was a music god, Rouse would be huge. Great singer/songwriter.

The Soundtrack Of Our Lives - Origin. Good stuff. Pop music. In the Beatles sense. Love it.

Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion - Exploration. Woody's graddaughter (Arlo's daughter) and her husband make good folk/rock that brings Graham Parsons back to life with wonderful harmonies and good songwriting.

Man, I love these threads. I bought a Dream Theater album ("Images and Words") after reading some very positive impressions. I really like it. I was intending to buy the new Kings of Leon CD but about every other review at Amazon was knocking the copy protection so I skipped it. I did "find" it elsewhere and it is pretty good. I just got a couple Interpol CDs from the library that I'm eager to check out.

JackB1 · Post by **JackB1** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 12:23 pm

the new Collective Soul album....."Youth". Love it! Going to see them next month in Atlanta where they are recording a live dvd. can't wait.
been a cs fan for 15 years.

Airdog · Post by **Airdog** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 2:58 pm

I know that I already mentioned that I was listening to it, but you guys really need to check out Iron and Wine's "Woman King" EP. Damn fine. It's a little tiny bit heavier than previous Iron and Wine releases but it's really fantastic.

It's very good. What should I buy/"find" next? Are they still around?

davet010 · Post by **davet010** » Wed Mar 30, 2005 4:40 pm

Seeing as post-punk is now being recycled (Interpol, Killers etc), I just dig out the originals

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures
Wire - Pink Flag
Public Image Ltd - Metal Box
Ultravox - Three Into One

all still good.

Oh yeah, they're still around. They have about 8 studio albums total now. If you're looking for more DT, here's the general consensus of their work (From best to worst):

1. I&W
2. Scenes From a Memory (concept album, but very coolthe way it's presented and the story is strong)
3. Train of Thought (newest work)
4. Awake
5. Seasons (5 songs, 1 of which is 26 minutes long, the rest are covers)
6. 6 degrees of Inner Turbulence (2 discs, all new studio material)
7. Falling Into Infinity
8. When Day & Dream Unite (1st album, different singer)

Not sure what your tastes really are. Are you into a lot of metal, or just selectivly? For non-metal I cannot reccommend Del Amitri enough.

azmark · Post by **azmark** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 7:40 am

Badger,
I am the same way. Lurker who has to jump in sometimes..lol. Nice to see Joy Division , Psychedlic Furs, The Jam and Dream Theater all mentioned here. As far as U2 goes, I read a review of their first concert in San Diego and it said that after their first song they played four songs from their first album Boy. I can only hope that they do the same thing here in Phoenix. Just thinking about that brings chills. Back to the topic, I picked up Ramones DVD End of The Century and have been playing most of the time when at home. Another great DVD is Dream Theater's DVD . I have been in a retro mood lately so have Rockpile,Talking Heads,Joe Jackson, Pretenders playing also. Hmm...think it is time to bring out my favorite album of all time right now...from the only band that matters...London Calling by The Clash

BTW..great thread...have downloaded and bought CD's from artist I have never heard of before in previous threads like this on this forum. Have not regretted it one bit. Thanks all for the suggestions.

I never thought they'd play An Cat Dubh and Into the Heart live! I hope Electric Co and Zoo Station make it to Philadelphia. I've heard enough of Bullet the Blue Sky and wouldn't mind seeing them replace it with Please or another old song, but other than that the set list looked great.
