Cold, Year of the Spider. It's a good album to curl up with when you're depressed.

DJ Shadow- The Number Song


Don't really listen to electronic music but DJ Shadow is pretty cool.

The Darkness - Street Spirit



...you think dayan would object?

Naaah. He put that damn song on the copy of the album he did for me. Hilarious stuffs.

Personally, it's been Bright Eyes all day. 'Lifted...', to be precise. Marvellous album, full of beautifully layered musical flourishes and heart-breaking vocals. Perfect for a day when you could happily crawl up your own arse and die.

Along with Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed, there's been Blue Oyster Cult - Tyranny and Mutation, Cake - Fashion Nugget, Simon and Garfunkel - Best of, a few snippets of AFI - Sing the Sorrow, and I think that's all. Oh, some of Nirvana - In Utero.

The Yard Birds- For Your Love

From the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas sound track...



Afterwards I'm going to get reaquainted with Tago Mago by Can.

today ive been listenin to "goodbye" by Gina hates me

I was forced to go outside today. Rather than go with the family to the park, I opted to walk the neighborhood with my dog. Why is this relevant? Because I was experimental enough to play the rest of my recently borrowed Baroque classical cd, instead of just replaying pachelbel's kanon in d. Some vivaldi was added to the mix as well as others. Rather pleasant really.

Lately I've been listnening to Boston, the Beatles, and the Scorpions

Parliament- Mothership Connection

A varied day for me. Been compiling, so plenty good music has been churning through my ears, including the tune that inspired my recent change of sig. Ahh, Primal Scream...

Love that intro - 'this is Gorgeous, does anyone read me?'

Swan Lake: The Enchanted Lake by Tchaikovsky

War of 1812 Overture

Green Day's first album 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. It helped get me through middle school and now years later, I can find more ways to relate to it.

Music that gets you through stuff is always strange listening to later on.

Today I've been listening to The Black Mages, Nobuo Uematsu's hard rock band that just does arrangements of Final Fantasy track Nobuo wrote. RPG Heaven.

Got very deeply into Give Out But Don't Give Up, but only for its resemblance to The Rolling Stones Exile On Main St.

I'll have to look up their other stuff.


Anyway right now is Neil Young- After The Goldrush

They can get a bit Stones-y can the Scream, bless 'em. It's that blues-tinged rock 'n' roll thing - always going to draw comparisons to Mick's motley crew.

Personally, I enjoy their more experimental electronic works, such as 'Vanishing Point' or 'Xtrmntr'. If you fancy checking more, though, the best of ('Dirty Hits') is a worthy primer. All the classics...

Meself, it's been a Boards Of Canada day ('Music Has The Right...'), followed by two new purchases - an EP collection from Refused (thanks again, Dayan) and a greatest hits compilation from one of my guilty loves, satanic metallists Deicide.

An interesting combo, I'm sure you'll agree...

Karl King - Barnum and Bailey's Favorite March

The Ramones- California Sun just finished...


The Fall- Classical


It's off Hex Enduction Hour I believe...



I've suddenly found myself with a massive collection of Ramones songs on my computer... Which is strange because apart from It's Alive I don't usually bother with the Ramones unless I'm feeling especially punky and not even a good dose of Raw Power will do the trick.

A lot of Blue Oyster Cult again. I'm being a fanatic now. Especially a lot of "Subhuman". Very awkward parts in life and very calming yet serious yet through provoking music.

Television - See No Evil

The Beatles have been interesting me lately, especially "Little Help from my Friends"

Yes, I'm clinging to the Cult...don't want to be depressed, thing is, major sh*t overhaul in my life and I want to be happy again, but it's not happening yet. So, I'm clinging to the Cult with the Secret Treaties album, and I might take my Simon and Garfunkel Best Of (the 20-track one) for a spin. I want music that complements my mood without getting me more depressed. There's been a lot of "Subhuman" listening off of Secret Treaties, and strangely enough, "ME 262" is helping.

Country Joe and the Fish- I Feel Like I'm Fixin' To Die Rag (live at Woodstock)

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Hallelujah

Gawd bless yew!

I've taken to being a massive Fall fanboy of late. Just love Mark E Smith's voice. My collection is pitiful - a mere three albums - but I'm still just a beginner. 'Bend Sinister' is pure album greatness, as is 'Country On The Click'...

Need... more...

Today, I've been jamming some interesting remix stuff down my earhole with a view to writing a article/review piece (should be in your region in the next few days, Juice) - Calexico's 'Black Heart' EP and SFA's 'Phantom Phorce' featuring heavily.

Interesting stuff, say I... Must listen more tomorrow...

Otherwise, it's been Deicide, Venetian Snares, and the hilariously foul Goldie Lookin' Chain single, 'Half Man Half Machine'. The last one had everyone in fits of giggles both before and after we opened the shop. Result.

Loreena McKinnitt's "The Mummer's Dance". On repeat. For pretty much 24 hours straight, minus class and sleep time. Pardon me while I feel a bit obsessive... It's linked for the poor souls who have never heard said song. Go and listen.

Slipknot - Wait and Bleed.

Its been so long since I've fancied a bit o' cheesy 'nu-metal'

The Yard Birds- Heart Full of Soul

Akercocke - Leviathan

That has to be the sleaziest guitar i've ever heard.

Steppenwolf - Born to be wild

I've also been listening to..
Lighthouse Family - high
Nina Simone - Feelin' good
Tom Jones - Help yourself
Barry White - Dunno what its called.

Country Joe and the Fish- Don't Bogart That Joint

Manic Street Preachers - Mausoleum

I was just listening to "Tapping the Vein's" album "The Dammage"... and I've had "Cruxshadows" song "Leave me Alone" in my head all day.... I'm gonna go listen to it now!

The Stooges- Dirt

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart

Ryczace Dwudziestki - Wielorybnicy Grenlandzcy

Pixies - monkey gone to heaven

I don't know what it is about this song. But it makes me want to giggle. I think it's cuz it's cute. Oh so cute. And it reminds me of fight club just because of that "space monkey" scene. Eep, that scene is also cute. Gawd, I love cute things!

*smack* Spacemonkey!

William S. Burroughs- Words of Advice for the Young People

Aaah, so good to be back in what is becoming the only thread I ever post in...

Simple instructions for tha kids this week - buy the new Beta Band album, or I'll cut off your feet.

Anyone who doesn't like this album doesn't deserve ears. It's been sat in my Discman since I acquired it from work, and each listen brings new wonders.

Other tuneage has included The Wildhearts (F@CKING LIVE, BABY!), a new Pixies best of (as good as you'd expect) and an EP from 50 Foot Wave (jury's out after one listen, but the mood is fairly positive...)

I love my job sometimes. Music music music. Music!

I've been really into Metallica's Master of Puppets album. "Disposable Heroes" is still my favorite song.

The Yardbirds- Dazed and Confused


This song wasn't very familiar to me when I first got it. I just realized that I've heard it in hundreds of film soundtracks... I've got a very dirty sounding live version so I couldn't tell until now.

The Cure -- Fascination Street.

Mushroomhead's self-titled.

'Nuff said.

The Red Army Choir- The Partisan Song...


Man, those communists may have killed alot of people, but damn it they made some cool music (actually everything else I've found done by the red army choir wasn't that great...)

Really? I have a recording of theirs of the Soviet National Anthem, and I love it.

Right now though? I'm listening to the music from level 3 of Zany Golf, by Will Harvey. Great Genesis game.

I had that too for a while, but it didn't really do it for me as much as Partisan Song...

Al Green- Love and Happiness

Just brought Him - Love Metal...

'Tis very good.

Was listening to 'Live on Release - I'm afraid of Britney Spears' just a second ago...half an hour ago they actually played good songs at Loughborough Student Union:

Undertones - Teenage Kicks (and not the busted version )

New Radicals - Get What You Give

Bran Van 3000 - Drinking in LA

Whoo! First time I've been out in months and it was actually a good night and they actually played some decent songs

The Bloodhound Gang, One Fierce Beer Coaster
