Books, Movies, Music & Entertainment - music

while it has nothing to do with fixedgears, i am just curious- which type(s) of music do you enjoy listening to?


in my cd player: pat metheny, bill stewart, the mahavishnu orchestra, chick corea, brad mehldau, medeski martin and wood, bill evans, john scofield, brand x, keith jarret, joshua redman, herbie hancock, dave brubeck... the list goes on forever.

just recently for me: pharcyde, arthur russell, ennio morricone, john fahey, smog, bedhead, jim o'rourke.

karate, the standard, kind of like spitting, old 97's, secret stars, pedro the lion, fugazi, death cab for cutie, nofx, nirvana, bad religion, hot snakes, cursive, trans am, at the drive in

Just what I have been listening to in the last couple days:
Talking Heads, Medeski Martin and Wood, Pat Metheny/Jaco Pastorius, The Faint, The Who, Morcheeba, Jamiroquai, Lee Perry, RJD2, Soul Coughing, The Orb, Hieroglyphics
Been trying to stick to good studying music.
There was a thread about this in the FG/SS forum before, but I think this is pretty interesting to do, good to get new ideas too.

crust & crumb - which Herbie Hancock?

pedro came to my school like 2 weeks ago, good stuff.

Gravy Train!!!!, Fanny Pack, Wu Tang Clan, Man-o-war, (old) Metallica, the anniversary, Soophie Nun Squad, This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, and Fifteen, oh and patsy cline

gotta be careful, adamkell...you might be inspired to do something apocalyptic, like the ballerina skid.

yeah, you gotta dip into the old hardcore.

Wu-tang Clan, Vivaldi, Shelter, Rolling Stones, Minor Threat, Total Chaos, Descendents, Flogging Molly and Agnostic Front.

I think I see a pattern.

yeah, godspeed at 3am on a fixedgear... i'd equate that to dropping a hit of mescaline while peaking on DMT.

yeah, you gotta dip into the old hardcore.

oh, and i saw the pixies monday night. they've still got it.

i am glad to hear that people are still listening to botch.

habitus: takaru? i saw them a year or two ago in detroit with city of caterpillar. i spoke with them after their performance- way cool, down to earth guys. after that night i could never seem to find anything on them. good stuff though, reminiscent
of converge, if my memory serves me. btw: what does everyone think of you fail me

polka polka polka!

to all the Old hXc in here:
nostalgic...it was like ready an old flyer.
Cro mags, Big Black, Blitz, AOF, SSD, DYS, Slapshot, Effigies, SLF, Clash, Pogues, Bad Brains, Buzzcocks, Husker Du, dammit...I don't have time to list them all. But Underdog (The Vanishing Point stayed on my turntable for over 4 months)...hell, one of the best things to ever rock Dreamerz (along with Fugazi). Richie one a rare, cool person. And Treece...
too much music to list for me as hXc is just one portion. I'll leave it here for now

Uh, I knew this dude that knew the dudes in Tristeza...

For this, this week (my first riding fixed; I'm hurting):
Deerhoof, Fat Day, Food for Animals, Mtn. Goats, Randy Newman.

I did see more fixie paraphernalia at Monday's BlackCat Isis show (dude w/ OldSkoolTrack T-shirt, friend of friend w/ Chainring tatooed under neck) than fixies outside (1).

Is it just me or are there a lot of Bad Brains fans in this forum?

takaru are super nice guys. i love when bands have a book distro! they just put out a new full length that is stellar!! they also have a split 12" with light in the attic, which is austin barber of yaphet kotto's other band. great great split.

they just put out a new full length that is stellar!!

yeah, it rips.

Crust & Crumb: You're from Bay City? I'm in Waterford. Our ****** bands play your area all the time. I feel sorry for you.

As far as Takaru goes, they've got a split LP with A Light in the Attic and an LP on Alone records called There Can Only Be None. Brutal, brutal stuff.

Anyway, mostly '80s & early-90s Hardcore/Punk/Crust/etc stuff. But that only covers about half of what I listen to, if that.

Chemicals Made from Dirt, The Saints, Cardiacs, The Mummies, Buzzcocks, Big Boys...

The Saints
one, if not the only (?), great punk band from Australia. "(I'm) Stranded" LP is one of my all time favs.

311, Ben Harper, Dave Matthews Band, 2 Skinnee J's, Less Than Jake, Unwritten Law, G love, Jurassic 5, and Social Distortion has in rotation most of the week. I'm broke so I haven't bought any new cds in a while.

Yes!! Listening to "Demolition Girl" while I'm riding makes me feel like I'm invincible...hell..even when I'm not riding!!
I prefer the cover of "River Deep, Mountain High."
that album is for sure one of a kind.

']..... And Treece...


Funny, 2 years ago i saw McRad play here in SF. It was pretty cool to hear all the songs for Absence of Sanity. There was like 30 people there, which was kinda sad, but the rocked it. Treece went off.

zounds

awesome.

awesome.

yeah, and whats cooler is they're playing together again.

great band.

It's cool to see old Anarcho/Peace-Punk bands reforming. First Lost Cherress, now Zounds. Now, all we need is an Apostles reunion...
