Just got:

They Might Be Giants , Dial-A-Song...Love them. Can't listen to them without getting too damn happy. Like Dr. Seuss gone haywire.

Missy Elliot- Yes...rap...but she's got class, actually

Norah Jones- Very dreamy voice, nice piano playing. I can safely bet I'll play this quite often this Summer.

Soundtrack from the Craft- really just got it for one song, but compilations are cool

Ravi Shankar- East Indian music. Helps me obsess just a bit more about India. Very good to meditate to as well.

Other things that may end up in the CD player could be any 80's glam or pop group, swing, celtic or maybe Right Said Fred if I feel the need for pure sugar pop. Remember "I'm too sexy" ? Abba, as well, if I want to royally tick off the Sweetie (it actually drives him from the room, hehe)

they rock, kinda soft for me, but i like them alot...

remember, capitalism stole my virginity...

I love music, tones, notes and rythems all coming together to release an emotion, story or soul. Music drives into our core and says "mmmm I like that!" Lately I've been listening to a CD a friend of burned for me, I couldn't for the life of me tell you who is on it, but the way the CD is set up is each song contrasts the next. Say the first song will be calming and full of rich melody, the next one will be techno that inspires you to try to lift buildings, then the next will be a rock song and on it goes, it's fantastic!

Also I can not get enough of Yann Tiersen, I worship the mans composing abilities, he could have my soul at the drop of a hat. "The Parade" has made me cry. becalming piano and a low female voice. mmmmm. The Lyrics... sometimes "I feel my skin, sometimes I hear a voice, please try to be friendly..." One of my favorites.

Also by Yann, "Les Jours Tristes" A real pick you up song. Never give up hope, the strength of the human will explored in the lyrics while rich chords are gently wound.

Yann also did the Amelie soundtrack, and I honestly think that if the world was set to the soundtrack everyday would be perfectly fantastic.

oooo Monochrome by Yann is also wonderful! ack, I think I'm going to stop now lol, Yann is my God

have you met mr sb? come this way....

this week, i have mostly been listening to...

weezer - rediscovered their first 2 albums. pure genius, even if rivers is kinda bonkers.

the flaming lips - it is impossible not to love their new album. as i heard somewhere, if they don't turn you on, baby, you ain't got no switches.

bloodhound gang - yes, it's juvenile, but it's still funny...

the first weezer cd is by far their best cd... and buddy holly is their best song ever, EVER

i dunno, i liked pinkerton a lot...

buddy holly? sorry, but nothing beats only in dreams...

i dont think so... your crazy... NO! your less crazy then me! ha! take that for an insult...

grrr.

insults are irrelevant anyway, the fact of the matter is that weezer have never equalled, let alone bettered, only in dreams.

weezer is great, but have been bettered... trust me...

....

....

....

BUDDY HOLLY!!!!

only

in

dreams...

bah, only in your dreams

...

dammit, silenced...

haha, its just an opinion debaser, i dont mind if yours is different... just thought it would be fun to argue every once in a while on a topic that probebly no one else cares about...

hehe, yeah...i'm still right.

Heh, except inky!!

The memory of his roastin at prezgfish still resonates. He got so annoyed!! Good job he not here, you pair would be fer the high jump!!

what? thats it... im gonna do something... so bad... so HORRABLE.... i cant think of it yet... but when i do think of it... you just sit there and eat your sandwich, and ill dance the jig...

fine.

*continues eating his sandwich, occasionally looking around to see if inky has come to kill him yet*

<jigs like freaking crazy>

back to music while im thinking right now...

im ADDICTED to Famous Monsters by the Misfits right now... such an awesome cd...

and as of right now, im listening to Rancid - Rancid [2000], another great cd

I so nearly bought that very Rancid album today, but at £17 it seemed a bit steep... plus I got totally fecked off that not only could I not find "Fallen" by Evanescence, I couldn't find ANY of their stuff. Nor any VNV Nation. Grrrr.... So I jus contented meself wi the new The Crow collectors DVD an Mags Manson's "Mechanical Animals" which I managed ta get fer a tenner!!

erm... Korn's album "Untouchables" in the car on me less than successful trip ta the Trafford Centre. I'm currently listenin ta Incubus' "Make Yourself" an then... who knows??

im listening to my mizix..... i got it from a friend. its good stuff. Its got ummm o geez. o well.

*smites Debaser*
*just for fun*

That's rotten, MAtt! Leave d-man alone!

Just listenin ta some Sigur Ros... nice an mellow... aahh!

I got loadsa VNV hahahahahahahahaha but am currently listenin to "Souls" by Project Pitchfork mmmmmlovely German voices mmmmmm

oi! no need!

*pulls out his rod of justice and attempts to slaughter MAtt with it*

on topic, listening to new white stripes album...

i like mixes better than just one band cds.
im going to burn one when i eat later

Me got new albums to fend off depression!

To those fo you who like a fusion of thrash and techno, I full-throatedly recommend the new Mad Capsule Markets album. It's like living inside Satan's C64...

With that album I got a FREE! HMV 'Playlist' CD of FREE! music for FREE! I've not bent a full ear to it yet, but I'ts got a Mew track on it, and that's excellent.

Finally, I picked up Led Zeppelin 'Remasters' for a tenner, and have spent much of yesterday and today in the thrall of 'Kashmir'. The best song ever? Definitely top ten...

I have been listening to a fantastic techno/industrial band called Soundisciples, you can download stuff from them on http://www.webcore.freeserve.co.uk/junctio...on/junction.htm All the other bands are the Soundisciples under different names and they are all fab!!!

Kicked some more Mad Capsule Markets this afternoon - watched the free DVD that came with the new album.

Now got some Bill Hicks on, because modern polotical comedy is too wishy-washy for me. Bill is the King!

It's a little odd listening to him ranting about the Gulf War (the first one that is - a war he dubbed The Persian Gulf Distraction). I wonder what he'd make of the current war. Doubtless Dubya would find himself with a new torn orifice or two...

listened to AFI - All Hallows and Tiger Army - Early Years, just now... i LOVE them... gotta love the misfits covers done by great bands for an awesome band...

I've been listening to Modest Mouse, Sneaker Pimps, Esthero, Radio Free Vestibule (I don't want to go to Toronto!) , International Noise Conspiracy, Elliot Smith, Dire Straits, Deep Blue Something, O Brother Where Art Thou sound track, Green Day, Tom Petty, simon and Garfunkel, sound track to Royal Tenenbaums, White Stripes, Weezer, Beck, Tragically Hip and the Barenaked LAdies.

Oh gee. That's quite a bit.

Good soundtrack!

'I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow' is obscenely catchy...

That's a good one! Also Down to the River to Pray and Didn't Leave Nobody But the Baby. It's so nifty keen.

Very so, sir.

Bloody good film, too.

True dat. Although I like anything by the Coen Bros. Most of my friends just don't appreciate pure randomness. I think my favourite Coen Bro film is the Big Lebowski, follwed closely by Raising Arizona and The Hudsucker Proxy.

another movie i refuse to see.
i will never see o brother where art thou.
i have this t hing about movies i am never going to see and books i am never going to read even though i would probably love them. i mentioned on the LOTR poll, i will never read or see LOTR

That's kind of like me. Even though I love to read, if I see a movie before I read the book, I won't want to read the book. It's just a thing with me. I can't read LoTR book because I've already seen the movie. Just seems like a waste of time if I already know what's going to happen and the movie has already told me how to picture the characters and the settings. The only exception to this rule was One Flew over the Cuckoos Nest. I watched the movie then read the book and I found the book much more surreal, and thus cooler.

I've been listening to Nirvana.

Sun Tsu

I've never listened to Nirvana. Well, I've probably listened to Nirvana on occassion, but "I wanna listen exclusively to Nirvana today" has never crossed my thoughts.

Listenin ta Ultraviolence "Life of Destructor"... it's the only thing that's gunna help me get past that damn gerbil

Now I'm listenin ta Body Count "Born Dead". Heh, been a long time since I heard this last...

I bought the Yeah Yeah Yeahs EP today. Very good - filthy garage with good lady screaming.

Followed that with PJ Harvey ('To Bring You My Love') and my old standby, 'DSOTM' by Pink Floyd.

Music you say? That'll be what I've been doing all weekend at All Tomorrow's Parties then. My, what a fantastically wonderfull weekend of electro madness, bleepy goodness and limb-thrashing tomfoolery.

Topping the list of performers I shaked various bits of my body too were: Venetian Snares (who's even more mental live than you can possible imagine. I kid you not, bits of his set peaked over 500 bpm), Aphex Twin (who's always good for some gabba jungle mash-up), Team Doyobi, Gescom, LFO, Mark Broom, Sritctly Kev, Bola, and the magical Wevie Stonder (who had a bloke who looked like a fat Noel Edmonds, and a freak in make-up jumping around like a latter-day Bez). Oh, and The Fall, while uncharacteristically punk, were a right good laugh.

All round a top weekend. Forget your glastonburies, homelands and whatever else, with their overflowing portaloos, sleeping in tents and so on. ATP's where it's at, I tells ya - a cosy chalet, indoor toilets, indoor dancefloors. It's the future of festivals.

But the one thing that got my goat? Bloody indie kids standing around WATCHING the artists play, unforgivable considering (a) that most of the artists consist of a scowling bloke or two in hoodies hunched over laptops or decks, and ( the sheer undeniable quality of the music on offer. Non-dancing kids at gigs are my new pet hate.

Jonman dewd! LTNS!

Wish I could've been at that gig. Sounds feckin amazing.

Still, should be getting a signed Mew album tomorrow or day after, so me = happy.

I listened to whatever they played on the radio on my way to school and back... but I didn't really wanna talk about music... LOL Just came to say welcome back, Jonman

yes jonman i posted fer ya on the missing persons thread!!!!! but you are back YAY!

Back indeed. Totally exhausted, somewhat jetlagged, and with lots of dirty clothes, but back - been on a 3 week extended multi-holiday (lucky me).

*lurks*

Bile
Abney Park
Tom Petty
Genitorturers
White Zombie
Jimmy Eat World
NIN

I love me mixes!!

The Lifehouse still...then at night I listen to Celtic music, but it's not night right now, so technically I'm not listening to that...

celtic... brr
