The Shins -- Chute's Too Narrow

Orange Juice "The Heather is on Fire".

Built to Spill ~ Live

13 Songs ~ Fugazi

St Germain - Tourist - So Flute

Iron & Wine. So beautiful. So romantic.

Pretty Hate Machine ~ NIN

The Hives ~ Tyranasaurus Hives

Rock!!

Going through my folder of random MP3s that people have sent me. It's....interesting.

The Hives are still rocking me

the fiery furnaces -- blueberry boat

I picked up a compilation of all local bands last night ... 59 bands for 13 bucks, you just can't beat that and there are some AMAZING local artists around here. For anyone in Utah you *have* to pick up the death by salt compilation. I think I've had Debi Graham - Cravings on repeat for the last hour now.

Amazing local artists in Utah?

59 of them?

Ok, all 59 aren't amazing ... i'd say about 15 were superb, better than you'll ever here on MTV/corporate radio level ... about 20 more enjoyable although still needed some work and a better producer .. and the rest just weren't my kindof music ... though they still had plenty of talent.

So....whiny and craptastic all the way? :p

Currently diggin' some Peter Gabriel from 1982...
pretty much:)

pretty much:)

At least you've come to terms with it.

Vs ~ Pearl Jam

i like im so tired by fugazi
my stepdad got to met ian mckeye

Must be something in the air.

Currently staring at cube walls listening to Fugazi - 5.2.1997 NYU Loeb Center

Kiss:Kiss

Their 1974 self-titled debut album. 10 tracks. 2 are weak. The other 8 rock. Lots of adolescent sexuality, teen-aged rebellion, and that great cover photo. Man, this takes me back!

Well, I am impressed. I never would have thought there was any fun to be had in the land of Mormons, let alone some good music.

Been listening to the new one, Outernational which is pretty good.

dntel - life is full of possibilites

Been listening to the new one, Outernational which is pretty good.

I'll have to check that out.

The Chilling Effect ~ Pelican City. I still say Pelican City is better stuff than Danger Mouse. He should go back to instrumental triphop...

I'll be honest, I didn't like outernational that much. I've only listened to it twice in the month i've owned it :\ ....

Anyway, listening to some weekend players - jericho right now.

Foo Fighters ~ Foo Fighters

I was a little disappointed myself. It verges on something newagey in a way, like newage mixed with world music. But it does have some phat beats and nice grooves, which is what appeals most to me.

Meanwhile, really enjoying the two tracks I own by Rancid: "Black Lung" and "Bloodclot." "Black Lung" being what a f-ing great anthem!!!

Scissor Sisters S/T

Discoey...

The Sleepy Jackson -- Lovers

Earlier today it was Pulp -- Hits.

Ken Vandermark ~ Acoustic Machine

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot ~ Wilco

Yankee Hotel Foxtrot ~ Wilco

I love this one. Heard the new one?

Let's hear it for soundtracks:

Morvern Callar--great stuff by Can and others
Paris, Texas--Ry Cooder at his best
Dead Man--moody powerful stuff by Neil Young
Ghost Dog--thick h/h by the RZA
...and any other soundtrack to a Jim Jarmusch movie. The man has an ear.
Royal Tennenbaums--destined to be as overplayed as Pulp Fiction was a few years ago

And then there is The Lonesome Organist, a walking one-man soundtrack waiting for a movie...

Had to listen to "Just Say Ozzy" 3 times today to get Zakk Wylde's guitar noodling out of my head. (Stop that noodling in there, dammit!) Then while I read some work stuff I'll play some Spacetime Continuum, Vapourspace, and likely some of David T. Chastain's guitar noodling CDs. Perhaps BT or Psykosonik too? Choices, choices, choices...

I love this one. Heard the new one?

Not yet.

Happy Bivouac ~ The Pillows

I love this one. Heard the new one?

A ghost is born is decent. Much like YHF i'm finding myself having to listen to it a lot and getting into it more and more as i do. there's a slight chance jeff tweedy may be believing his own hype, but its a solid follow-up. IMHO, that is

Jen Wood -- Imperfect

Mars Volta - Random Stuff

Mars Volta - Random Stuff

mars volta rules, saw them last year with the amazing saul williams opening. A very high energy show.

The singer does a great cover of "I've Had It" on the album 24 Black Flag Songs to Benefit the West Memphis Three.

Currently listening to various Marry Me Jane tracks my friend Erica sent me. I think I'll follow it up with some Tracy Bonham.

Hüsker Dü's New Day Rising and getting nostaglic. It was the album that started me off in the world. Fitting...

Electro Shock Blues ~ The Eels

Always a good night-time album.

Dance of Death-Iron Maiden.

Core ~ STP

...and rockin' out.

The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
thank you skitbra...

I have The Beatles - Revolver in the CD player right now. Other favorites include Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, Fugazi, Nitzer Ebb, Enya, Depeche Mode, Led Zepplin, assorted Country, Bluegrass, Classical, Classic Rock, Big Band, I have a smorgasboard of musical tastes. I would have to say The Beatles is one of my all time favorites. I never get tired of my collection. I grew up on them, learned to play them on the piano by ear, now learning to play them on violin. Another day, another expensive hobby. You think bikes are expensive, try getting a decent violin!

Bruce Springstein - Atlantic City :o

Actually I changed my mind

Catherine Wheel - Happy Days

The Wrens - The Meadowlands
