Fire in the disco! Fire in the disco! Fire in the Taco Bell!

Love that song! And yay! for Sigur Ros!

Debaser - I respect your QOTSA, Pixies and ATD-I listenings. Keep it up.

Today I went to sign on, and was accompanied on the way by 'Three EPs' by the Beta Band, which suited my mood and the pleasant weather perfectly.

Later, I went on a big single-buying flid, and bought (then listened to) the following:

Bent - 'Magic Love' - pleasant in a mellow UK Garage-y way.

Athlete - 'El Salvador' - fun and cheery and light and lovely!

Hot Hot Heat - 'Bandages' - even more fun. And with a Hammond. Word.

Mew - 'Comforting Sounds' - one of the most gorgeous songs I've heard in ages. A mix of Flaming Lips and a bit of Sigur Ros (not too much...), with an androgynous Scandinavian vocal that you can't help but fall in love with. BUY THIS SINGLE!!!

Dun ya wanna know how we keep startin fires? It's my desire, it's my desire. An me electric codpiece

"Danger! High Voltage!" were written fer me an Tara, I swear it

I'm gunna sift this thread an kick Piolet inta action lookin fer some o this stuff...

Oh, an I wuz listenin to tha "D" on the way home. I'm toyin wi stickin some Creaming Jesus on in a mo, I'm feelin a bit that way...

Finally caved in - jus listenin to Headrush EP now. Forgot how good this shiznit is

She's dead, wrapped in plastic...

An when I dream, I think of you,
An when I wake, I think of you,
An when I cry, I think of you,
An when I die, I think of you...

Another day of mix tapes and Radio 6...

I did, however, listen to Radio 3 late last night, and was greeted by all manner of great and odd tunes. The only ones I recognised were an Aphex Twin mix of David Bowie's 'Heroes' (it was chuffin' brilliant, and is apparantly on the new '26 Remixes For Cash' album) and one of the Untitleds from '()' by Sigur Ros (I couldn't remember which track it was - possibly Untitled 4).

Lovely lovely lovely, and the perfect soundtrack for a very strange conversation with my ex.

i was just listening to I'M an idiot and im your boyfriend song by jimmy fallon

it is beyond stupid

yay! respect! for some of it anyway...

that hot hot heat song is so damn catchy...

this week so far

rchp- by the way
nirvana- nevermind
the saw doctors
the smiths
korn
the clash
the sex pistols
bob marley and the wailers

quite a mix. thank whatever higher being there may be for a 6 cd changer on random!

I'd be intrigued to know what else you liked from that list, Debaser...

You're so right about the Hot Hot Heat tune - I had it on as I did the dishes earlier. Great Hammond intro - very Doors!

Got Radio 3 on now for mellow randomness. Lovely.

well, if you must know...

i do like that new athlete song, wasn't dead keen on the one before mind (beautiful). i've only heard the one mew song, she came home for christmas, thought it was amazing...as for the other two, way outta my league...

you into the polyphonic spree at all?

The singles before and after that ('Am I Wry? No' and the current one) are better, in my opinion, but 'She Came Home...' is excellent.

As for the Polyphonic Spree, I've only heard a couple of their tunes, but they've put a smile on my face. They also did an excellent remix of 'Scorpio Rising' (that Death In Vegas feat. Liam Gallagher tune), with french horns and everything.

So yeah, I like what I've herad.

heard their remix of the DiV song, interesting but not exactly their best work...the 3 singles they've released off it (hanging around, soldier girl and light & day) are probably their finest moments so far. and live, they're an experience...30-odd fully-grown adults running around the entire venue in white cassocks...

i want one now.

*L*

The outfits really are special, aren't they?

'Light & Day' is the single I have, and that's great. I've also heard 'It's The Sun', and thought it was pretty smart - a bit like a dayglo Pink Floyd from a certain angle...

there's definitely something about them. you should've seen they mayhem when they were throwing a couple into the crowd...

i've got the album somewhere. "it's the sun" is really good, and apart from a couple of misses (the last track...half an hour of "DOOOOOOOOOOOFFF! DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFFF! AAAAAAAAAAAH!"), it's pretty solid...

Roofle!

I've got entire albums of stuff like that! Sounds great!

They really do sound like a good live act. I'll have to check 'em out if they do Manchester or Liverpool or similar.

they are...it sounds weird, but it's more like some kind of religious experience than a common-or-garden gig.

be careful though, they influence people there. they made me buy one of their hats, and i don't even like it.

There is a cult-ish vibe about them, fer sure.

*L* What's the hat like?

it's all black and furry, and it has a kinda sticker-thing on the front that says their name on it...

it makes my head look like an asteroid.

Sounds fantastic! Take a picture and post it in this thread - if you can find a webhost that lets you link pics, mind.

k, might take me a while though (my camera's batteries are going, and it's gonna take me years to find a proper webhost...)

Hmph... tell me about it... I can't find one that's

a ) free, and

b ) allows hotlinking.

Am I asking too much? Will I eventually have to resort to paying for webhosting that works? Will I spend all my days listening to 6 Music, and my late nights listening to Radio 3?

Seems likely...

aah, screw it. if you wanna see it, click here

Well, the pic didn't work, so I right-clicked, got the url from properties, copy/pasted it into the address bar, and voila! Big fuzzy hat!

That's a quality head garment, sah!

indeed...

although my eyes disappear when i wear it...

ok, now the link has stopped working...

urgh...

Works OK for me...

Just typical bloody Geocities...

I've heard that if you change the file extention of your pics from .jpg (or whatever) to .txt on your website, then you can link them.

Never tried it meself...

i managed to figure something out, phew...thank god for me and my extremely basic html...

ok, now you click here.

woohoo, my 100th post...

christ, i've been here too long. as soon as my dad sees how long i've spent on here he'll come down with a pair of scissors to cut the line...

It'll get worse. Especially when you come within 100 posts of a custom title. That's a real incentive...

hey dont worry debaser... i have no idea how many posts i have and i dont think i really wanna know either.... i am so addicted to the internet that my family got cable! it rules!!!!!! the internet is used by other peopel occasionally though....

i can barely go for a night without using it for 4-5 hours, the phone bill's gonna be huge...

i need help...

Fortunately, at home my parents have an Any Time contract, so it's all paid for up front. Woot!

On topic, I'm now listening to The Ramones (the 'Anthology') as a result of a chat I had with crazi last night.

I'd forgotten how good some of these tunes are. Cheers crazi!

Hey Ho, Let's Go!

my mum has something like that, but my dad reckons we don't need it...

He'll learn soon enough...

oompa loompa doopity dang umpta bee yo mama elie oopa loopa doggity *bleurgh*


(oompa loompa having too much to drink)

Wow. I can see at least fifty point of reference in that post that shows it to be entirely relevant to this thread...

...

That was a bit over-wrought for sarcasm, wasn't it?

...

I'm still on the Ramones, but my latest Song Chainer post has made me decide to change to Scheer imminently.

Seriously, d/l some Scheer tracks. If you don't like 'em, you've not really lost out. If you do, you'll love me forever for introducing you to them.

really i could only find 47


ya jackass

Please, if you're going to fling insults at me, use a more striking colour.

You syphilitic knobgoblin

the colour was chosen to be subtle the size and the boldness were not

and i wouldn't consider magenta a striking colour unless its sanfrancisco fashion week

Take it outside, goober.

And shut the door after you...

Seriously, spam your own threads if you want. I'm trying to keep mine at least vaguely on topic.





BTW, magenta not striking? It has the visual impact of a Ferrari in the forehead! Plebian.

handbags at dawn it is, then

on an almost unrelated tangent, i wish my mum would stop singing along to linkin park on mtv2. it's disturbing.

oh, white zombie in my player today, anyway, i left a shedload of cdds at my dads by accident and i know hell have to listen to them in his car coz he has no spare cds in his car and hes 2 lazy to change em..anyway, i will make him listen to good music, if only for a week!

Don't you start...

Watched a Leigh Bowery documentary earlier, and was treated to footage of him performing Minty's 'Useless Man' - perhaps the most vulgar song in the world ever.

Very, very funny.

goober

spamming threads

its the choons thread isn't it an i was singing an oompa loompa choon.


and oh so sorry if it was a little of your desired topic oh Mondo Akimbo A-Go-Go but as you will notice every damn topic goes off topic, sometimes quite bizzarly, which is usually always fun, i don't like it when in happens in my topics either but it happens and i don't take it out on someone, you were overly annoying sarcastic to the point of ... well there's a point and you reached it buddy... and NO i'm not sure what my origional point was.

oh i'm very against the plebian remark

and i personally don't find magenta at all striking, i find it bland and useless.

and i haven't insulted you this time, nor have i felt that i have insulted you yet but if i did sorry, if i didn't quit being a baby and have fun on the forum and watch the new LGG and enjoy

after all it's Mata the choice of the true Generation

In absolute seriousness now:

This is not the choons thread - that would be Choons of Choice. This is the What Have You Been Listening To thread - subtle but important difference.

There is also a difference between threads going off at a tangent and out-and-out spamming. My conversation with Debaser about Polyphonic Spree and webhosting was a tangent - each post followed on from something that was ontopic. Yours was irrelevant spam - unrelated to anything that went before, and not particularly funny.

Finally, whenever I've insulted you before, it was in the spirit of fun, just like I do with everyone else on the forums. And the 'plebian' remark was there to highlight the pretentiousness of my own post, coz I like a dig at myself from time to time.

If you want right to reply, PM me. This thread doesn't need any more of the saga of me vs you.

ONTOPIC

Hot Hot Heat and Ramones day today - sun is out, and I'm feeling punky.

Also rediscovered an old gem, and second rudest song I own - 'F@ck Off' by Mindless Drug Hoover, the story of one man's quest to piss off everybody he encounters. Hilarious.

oh kay

on topic

today the music from the neww lgg

and tool parabol/parabola

k....

Bit o NIN in the car, an now I got the Weddoes spinnin on the ole turntable...

Was listening to soundtrack to The Royal Tennebaums this morning and a conglomeration of songs on a playlist on my computer just now...some of the artists Modest Mouse, The White Stripes, Dire Straits, Tragically Hip (Keen Canadian band) and Deep Blue Something. Oh, and (International) Noise Conspiracy

lit sevendust bikini kill garbage smashing pumpkins the offspring
thats all so far today....

i've been listening to nirvana and lotsa random schway techno and rock songs my bro got me.......... *this has been a pointless post. to make viewing this post more bearable, here is a random fact. crab racing (in florida) is advertises as 'the stupidest thing you've ever seen' but it's really popular. END OF RANDOM FACT*

Reet, so I's been on a downloadin spree an grabbed some o the choons mentioned in other posts. An today I been listenin ta them... Wanna know what I got an what I think? No?? Tough, yer gettin it anyways!!

In no particular order...

Sevendust - kinda like Linkin Park but wi'out the rap. Which is no bad thing! Quite liked 'em.

Rancid - After listenin ta California Sun an Time Bomb I realised I knew em after all (d'oh!!) Need ta listen to a few more but seems good so far.

Ultraviolence - After a coupla tracks I remembered I'd heard these before too... usta know a goth chick an she played these in her car fer me a few times but I clearly forgot the name. I can see me listenin ta this again, but I'd need ta be in the right mood. Like the one I wus in this mornin

Evanescence - Oddly never listened to em before. Most of the tracks I got (off Fallen) were wrecked but what I heard sounded pretty damn good. I see meself partin wi some money here!

Zeromancer - Good stuff. Neo Geisha reminded me a bit of Curve, only wi'out the female lead. Ya see how I relate music ta other music? Lame pidgeonholin...

VNV Nation - I always thought Front 242 would sound better if they had more punch. I feel vindicated! Then I noticed that these guys covered Circling Overland, so mebbe they thought the same as me... Me wonders if they did Headhunter as well... Woulda bought an album today but HMV had sold out

I feel much happier bein told about these. I have new reasons ta buy records again. Thanks you guys!
