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

ellen fullman - body music
william basinski- disintegration loops, melancholia
jan jelinek - various
beat happening - you turn me on
earth - phase 2 thrones and dominions
pelt - a show i taped in philly recently
gbv - bee thousand

that pretty much summarizes the week...

big black, janes addiction,
I'm on a bit of an 80's kick, and it's an escape from X-mas music

lastfm rules.

cinematic orchestra
boards of canada
fugazi (the band, not dave)
coltrane
notwist

what i've listened to today:

mastodon's "leviathan"
http://www.absolutmetal.com/mastodonlevcover.jpg

and lightning bolt's "hypermagic mountain"
http://www.loadrecords.com/images/LOAD078_lightningbolt_web.jpg

aside from mastodon and lightning bolt, still emo garbage..


another board i post on does a friday mixtape where people post tracks.. anyone down? say post 3-5 mp3s of your weekly jams that we can rock out to. although the other site has a installed player...

i keep wanting to comment on everyone's good taste in music, but there are too many things for me to keep them all straight...

and where did that bjork/p. diddy thing come from? that stuff is hilarious.

EDIT: MLPROJECT, how would we go about that? that's a fairly cool idea.

basically everyone on teh other site has their own site and sticks it on there and remote links it... mostly designers with their portfolios online and such

remixes of tracks of Isis'(s -- depending on your personal grammatical preference) Oceananic album. Some interesting interpretations.

has isis done anything lately? mosquito control still owns

i've been listening to that a bit ever since i saw walk the line the wednesday before thanksgiving. heh.

was that good?
i'm a cash fan but i'm not normally a fan of those overdramatized biographical movies

Battles - EP B
Black Dice - Creature Comforts and Miles of Smiles
lots of Steely Dan

ahhh...i see. i guess i'd have to get my own site, then, to do that. which i should do anyway, for band purposes. myspace is pretty lame and i don't know of anything else except starting my own website.

Panopticon came out last year. It rips. And that band freaking kills it live.

you might like it then. i thought it was underdramatic. i mean, it showed his years in the 60s with the pills and all, but you know that stuff was intense...if you've read his biographies, you know coming off the amphetamines was an awful experience. there's only a couple scenes there where you get the full effect of what he must have been like when he was high, how much he scared everyone else like that. it's sort of underdramatized, in my opinion.

though it is very accurate, and really brings to life some things that just seem like words on paper when you read them. especially interesting to me was realizing just how long he stayed married to his first wife while he was chasing after june.

myspace is pretty lame and i don't know of anything else except starting my own website.

rock band:myspace page::"business calls":payphone

ha ha ha...yeah, kind of.

Lightning Bolt rulez, emo droolz.

Also: Neu!

we could all just make a fake myspace band website that everyone could go to... it'll host the tracks (ie no strain on your site's bandwith) and it has a standalone player thats nice

well, yeah...you can only put 4 songs up there, though.

oh, wait, i get it. i thought you meant one for everyone, not one for each person. durrrrr.

http://www.loadrecords.com/images/LOAD078_lightningbolt_web.jpg
the absolute greatest part of leviathan is the full album art. let me just say holy ****. i don't know if the cd contains the whole thing, but i think the vinyl does.

edit: oh god photobucket and their resizing... gross. google it, maybe you can find it larger

as for that new lightning bolt... how is it? i've been craving some new **** like that lately and happened to see that in plan 9 the other day... didn't even know they had a new one.

as for me... currently the power of the dragonflame by rhapsody. these guys are unbelievable, if you have any appreciation for metal (what some may call "true" metal), do yourselves a favor and check them out.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y44/jacob_thm/power.jpg

i haven't heard rhapsody, but it looks like if you like that sort of thing, you'd like dragonforce.

i think of them as kansas doing an epic thrash soundtrack to a video game, and all of them are likely huge d&d fans.

what are you, some sort of skexie?

Skarp - Requiem
A Wilhelm Scream - Ruiner
These Arms Are Snakes - This Is Meant To Hurt You

what about dragon force? fantasy metal totally blows, but its entertaining how virgin those dudes are

dragonforce somehow always comes up in conversation when people talk about rhapsody. and god do they ever ****ing rule. i have to see them live. seriously.

for those that don't know them, you can hear a sweet clip from the song 'fury of the storm' on the ytmnd http://takeshikaga.ytmnd.com/ (ps that is my favorite ytmnd ever) (pps this is more evidence that i am a big internets nerd)

i think seeing them live needs to accompany some epic play about hobbits and fantasy land

iawtc; that is why they are so awesome
you have to learn to be stoked on the cheese factor of it all

yeah, totally. i have a friend who calles them "life metal--as opposed to death metal". the cheese factor makes it fun, the speed makes it exhiliarating. i love life when i listen to dragon force. gonna do that now...it's been a crappy day.

somafm->groove salad

dragon force!? my god. i wish i could play double-bass sixteenths for 8 minutes straight like that.

Clash - I'm So Bored With the USA -- and i really am.

The ANTiSEEN is currently making my very happy!

sugar- file under easy listening

bob mould from husker du's power pop band circa mid-90's. suhweet. like sugar, even.

Right now I'm pretty regulary listening to some Doc Watson, Sufjan, B. Dylan, Rancid, Murs, Ladysmith B.M., and lots of random underground.

Doc Watson is my homeboy.

venetian snares - rossz csillag alatt szuletett

i wish i had the attention span to listen to this while riding. though i'd probably go nuts and run into something.

doc watson is one of my favorites. ever. one of the most talented people to ever pick up an instrument.

lately i have been listening to neurosis, cut the ****, chumbawamba (feel free to make fun), neil young, and bruce springsteen.

The Faint, The Decemberists, The Dresden Dolls, The Good Life, lots of "the's"...

Im stoked that people are finally figuring out Dragonforce. I found them through a friend right after their 1st demo came out and have been pushin it ever since.

cut the **** is amazing! annihilation time is as well

MOTO, neil young, songs: ohia, why?, swell maps, heartless bastards, deadly snakes, bo diddley is a gunslinger.

Today is a Kool Keith day.

the pogues and the dubliners--"the irish rover"
bruce springsteen "thunder road"
tegan and sara-"living room" (hey, i think she has a cute voice)
bjork "oceania"
the dillards "tom dooley"
janette carter "meet me in heaven" (carter as in the carter family)
hank thompson and kitty wells "the wild side of life"
kitty wells "it wasn't god who made ***** tonk angels"

shuffler's getting stuck on some classic country. yes yes yes.

oh...liz phair "hot white ***". done with the classic country, into dirty lyrics, mediocre adult alternative pop.

i'm glad i got the chance to see cut the **** live. i haven't gotten around to hearing annihilation time, but i've heard good things.

venetian snares - rossz csillag alatt szuletett

this album is amazing.

although i have been listening to the rentals in honor of them getting back together

as fixed gearers, I know yall listen to music

what's on/in your record player/tape deck/cd player right now?

I am off the bike for a week - maybe more due to a bit of permanent birth control intervention at my local hospital on Thursday. So i did my "emasculation mix" on the morning of the op and have been listening to it since. I went for a bit a variety to cover any expected and unexpected mood swings:

> Bloc Party :: silent alarm
> Spoon :: gimme fiction
> The Decemberists :: picaresque
> James Blood Ulmer :: Birthright (this album is just off the chart)
> Robert Belfour :: Pushin my Luck
> Medeski Martin & Wood :: Notes from the Underground
> Mothers of Invention :: Weasels Ripped My Flesh
> Fugazi :: Repeater (always guaranteed to lift the mood)


cheers


Marty
