Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - OT: What music is everyone listening to?

Understatement of the day.

i haven't ever really been able to get into them, which i liken to my inability to get into sonic youth. michele digs em both though so i've developed an appreciation, but still just dont really feel it.

Third floor window guy: Hey **** you, I don't need you telling me that you are cooler than me, I saw the Ramones in '83!...**** you, your not cooler than me, I saw Fugazi's first show, I saw Minor Threat. What is your ****ing claim to fame, seeing the White Stripes?

--Rivington & Stanton

one of the best live bands i've ever seen...who i just found on myspace...

the devil makes three.

I didn't get and then got and then didn't get Sonic Youth again since Goo came out.

Not getting Blonde Redhead isn't a defect though. Some bands, yes, but they're not one of them. If you want to try hard to get a band that does't do anything for you, you should put in that kind of time on, say, if you don't like metal, Pig Destroyer. Practice for a few months. Then turn into a metalhead and wonder why you cared about getting some college rock band.

Rocking right now: Butthole Surfers Sweet Loaf just came on after the new Buried Inside. Sometimes alphabetical order is more random than random.

Minutemen - Double Nickels on the Dime

Hell yes. Nuff said.

Well that and this HCE focker is aight by me.

awww...thanks. though that might change with what you're about to read....

i'm nowhere near ready to send you a mix cd. still in the "concept and development" stage.

Black Sabbath and James Brown.

S/F,
cEyA!

haha man, i have no trouble getting bands like pig destroyer... that's probably why i dont get bands like sonic youth and blonde redhead

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy

it's played at least half a dozen times today.

Pedro The Lion - Invention.

Nice. I think that's the case for me too, but I pretended that college rock was important and "experimental" for about 15 years, so I'm eager to share my own personal revelation as if everyone is bound to have it, and I can save them some time :D

Top 5 metal songs that came on my box on random on the way to work today:

Mortician - Rabid
Malefaction - No Sympathy
Napalm Death - Silence is Deafening
California Love - (some numbered track)

Whoops, that's all of it (short commute), the last tune was actually:

The Detroit Cobras - Breakaway

Since there's only like a half a dozen people who reply to this thread and half of them are metalheads, who wants to recommend their favorite underappreciated or not well known metal band to broaden my horizons? Assume that I've heard every metal record from say Venom until about 1992 (with a taste for grind and death), and then picked back up about 4 years ago and have basically caught up with every "big" band from the last few years (Anaal Nathrakh, PD, AnB, Nasum, etc). And school me! Doesn't have to be obscure, my brother put me on to Behemoth around my birthday last year, and I was like whoa.

It's good for riding your fixed bike to work with.

Okkervil River - Black Sheep Boy

Did this band come out of nowhere this year and miraculously have a back catalog, or do I just not get out much? My favorite band I heard last year for the first time.

that's pretty much the way it happened, I believe- their album before this one, Down The River of Broken Dreams- was the one that brought them some shine.

I saw them a couple of months ago and they're great live. Will Shepp is a drunken mess, in a good way.

Yeah, that's actually what I heard on a popular um discussion site, leading me to see them a couple months later and gobble up their whole discog.

I was really impressed as how tight the band was, and how totally into it the singer was, especially given that he was drunk enough to be teetering and rocking on the stage. Excellent live band, esp that they seemed pretty young, but not at all amateurish. Good use of trumpet too, totally thoughtful, not just thrown in.

okkervil river is really good...i really need to listen to it more.

Grey Album / Danger Mouse

Mainstream? That, and the sound of approaching didgeridoos. Cripes!

Still:

Makes me feel like I'm 'on the edge' even though bootlegs went out about 3 years ago, apparently.


Usually it's BBC 6Music, great stuff overnight (when it's daytime here). e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music/

On the bike it's a mix of RZA on a good day and Melvins / Stoner Witch on a bad day.

one of my friends from detroit is in this killer death metal band named Saprogenic. i've never heard anyone mention them but i think they are pretty rad.

I've been listening since they got on Jagjaguwar. Jagjaguwar is awesome.

as far as metal....ummm...nothing really to add. well, backstabbers inc isn't metal and you probably know them, but they're ****ing brutal. i really like my old band (actually think they're better now that i'm gone, not because of that, but, you know...), art of colonoscopy. they really have nothing new, though i keep telling them to record to document the current lineup, which is pretty, like...sounds burly, fast, tech, sort of melodic...like pg 99 and employer/employee type stuff being played by, say...anal ****.

I'm piss drunk and listening to Judge, Good Clean Fun, and Ten Yard Fight. Guess I'm going to have positive dreams tonight.

I'm not a metalhead (anymore), but I might be able to come up with a couple.
Death Angel
Excel
All The Pretty Horses
Zebulon Pike
You've probably heard them before, no?

Lets see, what was I listening to earlier.....
Skinny Puppy- Vivi Sect VI
I Am Spoonbender
Mogwai- They have a new one coming out March 27, same day as Stereolab's new one
A Silver Mt. Zion
Do Make Say Think (wow, imagine that)

*cough* I "heard" the new Mogwai - Mr Beast album and its ****ing fantastic

i heard the new unmastered and unreleased saviours album and it owns the number one planet.

i also cannot listen to yes enough lately.

as far as metal....ummm...nothing really to add. well, backstabbers inc isn't metal and you probably know them, but they're ****ing brutal. i really like my old band (actually think they're better now that i'm gone, not because of that, but, you know...), art of colonoscopy. they really have nothing new, though i keep telling them to record to document the current lineup, which is pretty, like...sounds burly, fast, tech, sort of melodic...like pg 99 and employer/employee type stuff being played by, say...anal ****.

an addendum...this band is from idaho, too, and just put stuff up. i have to say it's pretty good. http://www.myspace.com/hughdownsinc

*cough* I "heard" the new Mogwai - Mr Beast album and its ****ing fantastic

I'm saving that up for my listening-to-a-new-record-by-one-of-my-favorite-bands ritual, though it's kind of killing me.

Except the package from G7 Welcoming Committee came in the mail today, so it's been an all Winnipeg bender thus far:

Swallowing (the s-word)
Malefaction
now the Weakerthans

(phew)

Just gotta keep an envelope of records coming every until the Mogwai comes out.

swallowing **** is the ****ing ****.

oh, and so's sewn shut, who i thought you were referring to at first. whoops.

but yes, they're both the "****ing ****".

as far as metal....ummm...nothing really to add. well, backstabbers inc isn't metal and you probably know them, but they're ****ing brutal.

I didn't know them - I'd lumped them in with the bands With Really Long And Complicated Names That I Don't Like, but I'm listening to their site's samples right now.

I'm going to call it metal. I like it. Thanks!

sweet...they're fun live. and it's funny whenever you talk to guys in a band that sounds so....seething with rage, and they're really nice dudes. i mean, it's not unexpected, but still...

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

zebulon pike is terrific. sort of like what mastadon wants to be like, but way better.

The Shins

back to bouncing souls. i feel like i'm 15 again.

I've been waking up to kate is great for a week. Unabashed fan going on a decade now. Too bad everything from hopeless romantic onwards hopelessly sucked.

Bad Brains
Four Tet - Everything Ecstatic
Prefuse73 - Security Screenings
Swans - Filth
Year Future - The Hidden Hand
Battles - EP B + C

Just got finished listening to Siamese Dream for like the 1,000,000th time... does it get any better?

and next on the list seems to be Fishbone..

Tom Waits
Johnny Cash

On random all day, while working. Ipod in one ear, radio in the other. Amazing I don't get hit by more cars.
