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

i love how so many of you are listening to really obscure music that hardly anybody has heard of.

You guys must be so cool...
wow, I haven't heard that arguement since high school.

It is of my upmost humble opinion that we should not listen to music just because its easy to swallow. I guess we all have a right to be 'asleep' as much as possible, but........damn. If your gonna listen to against me 'punk' do a little history review on who did it first and much much better.

Are you implying that they're not good because of this?
no.... he was speaking as though everyone was trying to be elitist, and I was pointing out that the bands weren't obscure if you have ever taken much time to discover new artists or go explore music on your own
and why would you assume that I judge music based on what label the artist is signed to
I was making a comment on obscurity, not quality


yeah, dude....totally. ****...i'm dead, the berzerker, the smile adventure, tribes of neurot, brighter death now, commit suicide, masakari, sword heaven, pile of maggot infested viscera...all on major labels. virgin, columbia....you know, the usual.

okay, so my non-metal/noise tastes are usually not extremely obscure, my tastes in obscure field recordings of folk music being an exception....but still, i'd like to point out the idiocy of this generalization.
none of those were on that page
I specifically was speaking of the artists posted on that page
which is why is said "on this page"
but thanks for getting super defensive to someone who was taking your own side

oy vey.

let's get back on track:

johnny cash - unchained
the clash - london calling
big bend grind band - random mp3's

how's that last one for obscure?

does this make me stupid?: Clinton Sparks And Kardinall Offishall - Do The Right Thing

i dont think so.

I don't listen to music while I ride. If I did, I'd listen to this.

Excuse me? Are you suggesting that listening to Against Me! means I listen to nothing else, or that I have no idea of "what punk is"?

Would you care to enlighten me, oh knowledgeable one, as to what I should listen to appear suitable 'punk' to your oh-so-wise eyes?

I'm serious, there's nothing I love more than an "I'm more punk than you" debate on the internet.

quicksand - slip
gorilla biscuits - 2006 tour 7"

okay, i've recanted somewhat. the new GB stuff doesn't outright suck. i've come to terms with the fact that civ grew up. it's not a bad ep. if it was a new band, i'd probably think they were oookaaay.

weerd science.

Actually, I watched the Fountain tonight. When I saw it in the theater I really liked the score, which is rare. Then I found out it was Mogwai with another band, so that made me excited.

Yea the score totally blows me away. I loved Pi and Requiem's score as well, and it is the same composer. Mogwai being involved totally put the cheery on top.

The movie was amazing to say the least.

Did his son play onstage with him? I'd def pay to see that.

New Les Savy Fav album September 18th!!!!!!


word.

Gwar tomorrow night. For some reason I'm not losing sleep about missing half of the sounds of the underground tomorrow. I guess as long as I see Darkest Hour and Gwar, my night will be set.

propagandhi - potemkin city limits

an album i thought sucked really bad until i kept hearing individual songs on shuffle. i kept thinking "man, this is g-...wait, this is new propagandhi!"


while propagandhi has always been my favorite punk rock band, i've decided that they're slowly claiming the spot in my mind labeled "best punk band ever". NOFX used to be there.

as strange as it sounds, i would also put shai hulud up there, too.

i really like propagandhi and wish i could see them, though when i saw the weakerthans (john samson's current band) they covered a propagandhi song.

i also ******** love shai hulud.

4hero and Towa Tei.

genghis tron

Super nice guys.

shai hulud is my all time favorite hardcore band.

you.may.die.in.the.desert

I like it a lot! Anybody have recommendations for anything similar.

cds i've been listening to a lot recently:

russian circles- ep
blue scholars- bayani
audrye sessions- braille
the band- everything they've ever done
buddy guy- buddy's blues

hows the russian circles?

Samples of the Deadwood soundtrack. Definitely gotta get my hands on this.

hows the russian circles?
