Ohgr Undeveloped. Oh ya. Its amazing. I think its the best of both worlds in that its kinda poppy like the first two albums, but has some oddities like DIMD (no Bill Moseley thought :() BUT its really good.
recent aquisitions:
The Strokes -- Angles <vinyl> (really loving this album. so happy to hear them together again)
NIN -- The Slip <vinyl> ($7.99 new on amazon for this package on 180gram vinyl... cant beat it!)
Pixies -- Surfer Rosa <vinyl> (having listened to this album 5 million times over the past 2 decades, I figured I might as well finally pick it up on wax)
edit: Amazon has become really vinyl friendly over the past year. There are some fantastic deals to be had on there, especially for new releases.
Foo Fighters: Wasting Light
Not a fan of the Foos normally, but I like this album. Pitchfork don't like it as much as their other stuff, which continues my record of disagreeing with every review I've ever read there.
Also the latest Radiohead, some Buddy Guy and the first half of Joni Mitchell: Mingus (can't give an opinion yet) before my batteries died.
I've heard the new Foo single - whatever it's called - and it was okay. One By One is still my favorite release.
While I'm not as omg about the new ohgr as Aaron it's pretty good.. Also happy that there was a legitimate place to buy a digital copy that doesn't involve apple :)
For Shame Luna. FOR SHAME! I still think its amazing.
I'm totally with Aaron on this one. I think it's the best album he's put out under the ohgr moniker to date.
Today:
Iron Maiden - Dance of Death
HTDA - HTDA
Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue
King Crimson - Larks Tongue In Aspic
I didn't say I didn't like it, just not omg about it after one entire listen :P
Well then, I'm pretty sure there is something wrong here Luna. I'm also pretty sure it you. DUN DUN DUN! :P But naw, its cool. Even TPD isn't that hot for it. And we know how he feels about Puppy and co.
I also got the new Jesu album today. I haven't listened to it yet thought. SOONish.
And I got Neurosis-Enemy of the Sun. (I got it a long time ago with torrent dollars) I love the the album. I really think its one of my favorite by them...
Aaron, I never knew you were into Neurosis. Love them. Incredible live band, too.
My favourite is probably the last one they released, Given To The Rising. It's been a while now, that was 2007. We're almost in soon territory.

Ya, I played through them all once. And Enemy of the Sun really stuck with me. I really need to go and listen to the rest of their albums...
I'm def picking up the new ohgr, see without you fags I wouldn't know about this stuff.
My Dead Man's Bones record finally arrived!! I've waited so long and I'm intending to enjoy the hell out of it.
I actually already know all of the songs but having the whole record in my hand is kind of awesome in its own way.

I felt the same way when Year Zero finally showed up on my doorstep. There's just something more gratifying about having the physical copy of the album. I'm going to have to restrain myself from going on an Abney Park binge when I get paid for working with the Academic Decathlon this year, but I'm probably going to buy the new album with my first paycheck from subbing because I don't even have THAT electronically yet >.<
I finally got around changing my portable for the first time in several months:
Bang Camaro - I / II
Ohgr - Welt / Sunnypsyop
Ministry - Psalm 69
Oingo Boingo - Skeletons in the Closet
Liam Lynch - Fake Songs
All of those are cool, but I could survive just on the Bang Camaro albums. 3 guitarists and 20 singers? How much more awesome does that get?
Today was B-day:
Belphegor - Bondage Goat Zombie
Belphegor - Pestapokalypse VI
Bloodbath - Nightmares Made Flesh

I'll have to check them out
Clan of Xymox - Greatest Hits
Gary Numan - Pure
Nine Inch Nails - Stil
Spent yesterday listening to Bang Camaro I/II, thanks for that, amp, it was AMAZING.
Checking out Common now because he's created a huge stir in the ridiculous right since the First Lady invited him to come rock a White House poetry event. Pretty good so far, lined up Be, Electric Circus, and Can I Borrow a Dollar?.
Ohgr - Welt
Ohgr - Undeveloped
Clan of Xymox - Live
Ministry - Dark Side Of The Spoon
miserylab - Freedom is Work
really been listening to this one a lot tonight.
I'm not even joking about this:
I am listening to "Covered in Nails - A Tribute to Nine Inch Nails"
I was on a big Rosetta Stone kick, and they covered "Closer," on that album, plus I also wanted to hear Raymond Watts/Pig's cover of "Head Like a Hole,"(!) so I listened to this album.
I also didn't think that the Die Krupps cover of "The Perfect Drug" was half bad, nor the Sigue Sigue Sputnik cover of "Piggy," so, yeah. I own this album, and I listen to it occasionally. Suck it.

I'll give you one worse. I have The String Quartet Tribute to Nine Inch Nails and occasionally listen to it. It's an album that certainly has its moments (although the Closer cover tends to alternately be quite enjoyable and send me into a blind rage about the coda).
My tunes have taken a shift for the more electronic recently; Infected Mushroom, VNV Nation (yes, still, I apparently listen to them ALL THE DAMN TIME), Wumpscut, Apoptygma Berzerk, and the occasional stray track here or there.
Infected mushroom is pretty awesome at times :)
Qotsa - era vulgaris, lullabies to paralyze
Don't feel bad about VNV Nation, I count myself as a fan :p
edit: My sister has been really into VNV Nation and Apoptygma Berzerk for awhile, so I picked up "Of Faith, Power, and Glory" for $5 at my local record store and I was hooked. Still haven't checked out Apoptygma Berzerk.
I tentatively recommend Clan of Xymox to a VNV Nation fan; among my friends, they either love them or hate them. The band is weird in that it has 3 distinct eras which sound significantly different. Early era COX (Self-Titled, Medusa) is very "Sisters of Mercy"ish, and "mid-era" is when they were basically a dance band (Twist of Shadows [which is an EXCELLENT dance album], Phoenix), and then "late-era," where they really settled into the VNV Nation type of groove (Farewell, Breaking Point, In Love We Trust). And then there's the albums that don't fit, like "Hidden Faces" and "Creatures," both of which I would recommend to ANYONE (particularly "Hidden Faces").
2nd edit:
I agreed with the Amazon review of "Creatures" that said: "This is not Clan of Xymox's comeback album (that would be 1997's "Hidden Faces"). This is Clan of Xymox's "We are SERIOUS about coming back" album."
3rd edit:
I don't count "Headclouds." That album was turds on a stick.
Recently got The The's Dusk and David Sylvian's Everything and Nothing. I mean, in physical, non-pirated form... I've been listening to that and The Magnetic Fields a lot lately.
However...

Still haven't checked out Apoptygma Berzerk.
As usual, the biggest problem with me jumping in with musical recommendations is my penchant for not actually owning real, hard copy albums. Apop is one that I got into a little after my "I MUST DOWNLOAD EVERY ALBUM EVER WHEN I DISCOVER A NEW BAND" phase ended, so I only have a few neatly organized sets of songs. That being said, the first one I got, which I actually bought with real money in a store, was
7, which I ADORE.
Welcome to Earth and
Harmonizer are pretty amazing as well, but I think I would still recommend
7 as a starting point. Truth be told, the rest of the stuff I have by them is just randomly compiled files, so while I may have bits and pieces of their other albums, I can't give a fair evaluation of them as grouped musical units.

"i'll do anything to make you cum" is not the best thing to mouth or sing along in front of old ladies in the metro...
I had Otto Von Schirach's "Shake that motherfucking ass ho" stuck in my head and I would be mouthing it as I worked. No one noticed. Or if they did they didn't say anything...

Slow start to the album, picked up in the middle and ended strong. I probably like it more than the new KMFDM and not as much as the new ohgr.

I'M FUCKING SAMPLED ON THE FUCKING RECORD
please explain!
well, a year or two ago some litany fans uncovered a new ohgr website updated with weird cryptic shit. kinda like the yz arg but on a different level of wacked out. way more fan interaction.
for example, some of the fans uncovered a number on the site thru various puzzle solving and anagrams and clicking and stuff and hidden urls. when you called the number you got an equally creepy answering machine message. some people even texted it and got weird replies. a bunch of people on litany kept calling the number and left various messages.
at one point the message or site (i forget) said "welcome to collidoskope", to which several litany folk called up said number and repeated that phrase (myself included). I think the message may even have instructed people to repeat said phrase.
a while later, someone else uncovered another hidden phrase "the games plays itself in every devision of life"...
to which i had the bright idea of recalling the same number and repeating it.
Skip a few days later, more puzzles, and BAM brand new surprise ohgr track available to download.
i downloaded said track, and immediately shit a brick when i heard my own voice in the intro...
and then shat another one when i heard a tripped out funky beat with my voice looping "the game plays itself in every devision of life" over and over while Ogre was being Ogre.
Anyhoo, his new record came out a few weeks ago, and as a hidden bonus track they included that song.
So yeah, I kinda got to sing with Ogre.
And last time I ran into him at the Puppy show I totally forgot to mention that it was me.
Yup.
I fail and rule in equal amounts.
That is totally awesome.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this album. Its good. But when it comes to his music Amon=grovey music. This isn't like that. Its a lot mellower, and chiller. But I really don't know how I feel about it... Its just so different from his normal stuff...

~hydra
I've always preferred South of Heaven, but I get why RIB was a sensation. Always thought Slayer were a little over-rated too. TBH with the exception of Megadeth there are other thrash bands outside the big 4 that I prefer to the big 4.
I agree with you there Tim, SOH was always my album of choice Slayer wise. I have a very soft spot for Show No Mercy as well.
I never thought Slayer was overrated but I understand what you mean, it is difficult not to be overrated with their status. What I admire most about them is their reluctance to change and go soft (*cough-metallica-couch*).
I've always thought Megadeth to be underrated also, heavily underrated though I haven't listened much to their later stuff. If you want good thrash, listen to Kreator or Anthrax. ;)

Enslaved - Axioma Ethica Odini
Scarve - Irradiant

Quote from: Hydra on May 27, 2011, 12:40:19 PM

or early The Haunted, or Exodus, or Testament
Of their recent stuff, I think The System Has Failed is Megadeth's best. It's a nice balance between the early, driven, classic thrash and the catchy melodic stuff they did in the 90s before the success they got with Trust led them to completely lose their way. Plus it has some solos courtesy of a certain Chris Poland.
I saw Slayer for the first time about a year ago. They were ok, but I expected more.
I'll check that one out, thanks for the tip.
I have wanted to see Slayer live for years, decades even but have never had the chance. I don't think I will be disappointed but you never know.

I felt the same way when I saw them at Ozzfest, although I know the festival setting really isn't their venue; my friend saw them at a stand-alone show and thought they were amazing. As far as the albums go, I don't really listen to any of their studio stuff; one listen of
Decade of Aggression usually quenches my Slayer cravings.

I am digging Undeveloped. It feels like a return to the warped "pop" (for lack of a better word) stylings of Welt.
I have been so out of the current state of music it is not even funny. Just too much going on in my life right now (mostly work and the Thesis of Damocles) that I've fallen completely out of touch. I think Undeveloped is only the second third 2011 album I've gotten; Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light I was the first and Honeysuckle Æons were the others.
I didn't even know 'til today that the third Manorexia album came out last week. :(
*edit* Yeah, so I'm so out of it I don't even remember a three-month-old album from one of my favorite bands. *sigh*
damn, i didn't even know that was out!

Gets better after a third listen although nowhere near as good as V, IV or even VI. It has been conceived in a different way to different albums - less minimalist, uses linear development, etc. That threw me off at first, made me think it was less focussed (which it is, but tbf that's deliberate. Don't think it works as well for him, though.)

Holy shit, more awesome music news that I missed last month. Chris Connelly (http://www.chrisconnelly.com/news/news/2011/05/new-album-recorded/) just recorded a new album.
Quote[This] record is the best since "Shipwreck"–a LOT harder, even acknowledging Ministry in certain ways, many tracks very fast & very loud, a few slow, darker moments...
It seems that Connelly's recent work with The High Confessions and (we're-not-legally-allowed-to-call-ourselves-)RevCo has pushed him back towards harder music. While I adore his singer-songwriter work, I'm really psyched that he's getting back to his heavier roots.
did you see that footage on youtube of the revco reunion? fucking glorious epicness.
Anais Mitchell: Hadestown
This is stunning. Has anyone else heard it? If so, why didn't you tell me about it? She's like a cross between Ernie Payne, mid-period Tom Waits and late-period Scott Walker.

I haven't heard of it, but going by that description, I think I should check it out.
You definitely should.
I've been listening to it all day and it only gets better.

Rx - Bedside Toxicology
Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always

it's about time I busted this out. It's always seemed like a "summer" album to me, and I think it came out in the summer, if I'm remembering correctly. The temperature hit over 90F today, so it's officially summer.
It's funny how when I listen to Lateralus now, all I can think is how much it needs a remaster. I remember when I thought it sounded so clean and crisp, but now that it has a decade behind it, the production sounds dated.
Still such an epic album.
Either that or The Fragile is probably my "epic album that came out when I was in high school" pick.
The Fragile in particular I have a soft spot for because I got it the day it came out, and part of my high school burnt down the day after and I got the next 2 days off from school to do nothing but listen to it :p
edit: Animositisomina was pretty amazing though...

i dunno, i think it sounds "dated" because ludwig (i think he mastered it) hates compression and loves dynamic range.
i think it sounds amazing.
just crank that fucker (like all good records) and it's just wow.
that album definitely sounds better on vinyl than CD, so maybe that's where the mixing style comes into play.
I'm listening to Smooth Criminal covered by Alien Ant Farm.
I like that cover. Another cover in the same vein (and timeframe) is the Ataris cover of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer."

Paul's recent solo album, is actually quite good:

Other then normal stuff (Tool, SP, Ohgr, Download, TMV which I have been on a kick as of late.)
I'm playing Tomahawk's God Hates a Coward over and over. Love this song. It also makes me want to get a respirator. (Cuz the gas mask I want is 300 bucks... And it would be a really expensive toy and nothing more...)
Underworld -- "8 Ball"
Now I think the new Morbid Angel album is pretty weak (and atrocious for legends like them), but it struck me people here might actually like it.
If you liked early Marilyn Manson, try the tenth track: "Radikult"; then maybe the second, then maybe the last, then maybe the whole album. (There's maybe stuff for Ministry fans there also?) Disappointing stuff.

I was hoping you meant
PoaAF-era Manson, which would've been totally fine with me. But you meant a ridiculous imitation of "The Beautiful People" a decade and a half too late. :(
I downloaded the following from iTunes last night:
Snoop Dogg - "Gin And Juice"
D12 - "Purple Pills"
Busta Rhymes - "Woo Hah! Got You All In Check"
Craig Mack - "Flava In Ya Ear"
Notorious B.I.G. - "Hypnotize"
Geto Boys - "Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta"
drone
I don't know what it means that Undeveloped made me dig out the other ohGr albums and now I've probably listened to Welt and SunnyPsyOp more in the last week than the new album.
I loved Welt from the start. SunnyPsyOp was underwhelming at first listen but within a few plays was absolute gold. DIMD, in retrospect, I never really got into. I like the back half of the album, especially "Witness," but I find myself cringing every time Mosley comes on. I appreciate that the music of Undeveloped is more akin to the first two albums than DIMD, but so far it's not grabbing me as much. I find that the extended intro tracks and "Typer" kill the momentum.

lately:
Boards of Canada - The Campfire headphase
Bon Iver - s/t

i actually prefer this to most of the "better" floyd releases.

Well, it was a comment by someone who doesn't really like any Marilyn Manson or the new Morbid Angel album. A ridiculous imitation (of a few things) a decade and a half too late is a pretty good description of the album, actually.

no, Frengers was released in 2003. (third release)
I just started getting into them actually. "Am I Wry? No" is such a good track.
I'm really liked Boards of Canada lately,
really good music to write to.
if you like them, you should check out BS/BD's NOIR album
really interesting stuff.
The Protomen: take a modern rock band, skew it out with various themes from grunge to southern rock to '80s hair metal, and put this over two albums and you get... an '80s style rock opera loosely based off the Megaman games? wat
Yeah, it sounds ridiculous, dorky, and not fun ... but they're probably the coolest and most refreshing group I've heard in a LONG time. Also, the frontman apparently has a voice with more range and power than a Navy railgun. The group is innovative and appealing because they have so many tracks with different sounds. There's a couple of spaghetti western tunes over both albums for heavens' sake!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l00yZtFrAM
have you heard "unrest in the house of light" yet? one of my favorites from them.
That's probably my favorite track off that album, maybe from them entirely, though "The State vs. Thomas Light" is a heart-wrenching tune too if you haven't heard it.
since I've been working so much, and there are no customers involved, I've been listening to audio books lately.

Then I think about lateralus since that's the other album full of show nostalgia...time to listen to some tool
I love that smiley face. It makes me giggle.
Np. "Hey man, Nice shot" Filter. (Kinda mean look at TPD. However, he also keeps me happy at work. So I can't be to mad. But he posted a line from the song, now I can't stop listening to it.)
I got that album for like, $2 at a used record store. I listened to it a few months ago and recall thinking "Wow, this... really isn't a very good album at all."
Depeche Mode - Playing The Angel
KMFDM vs. Skold
I just have the song... Not the album. There are a lot of bands like that thought. One hit wonders. Or at lest one song that was REALLY good, and the rest were pretty shitty at best...
Yeah, that's one of the better things the internet gave us: the ability to not waste money on a shitty album with one good song on it. This was before I was really buying music online, so I was stuck buying the album, although as I said I only paid $2 for it.
Ya. I hear ya. and 2 bucks isn't bad for the song. I would pay that much. I really don't know that I have heard any of their other stuff... Or I have, and didn't know it was them...

I think this is my favorite era of KMFDM, when they were just starting to get comfortable with their eventual signature sound, but were still new enough at it that it didn't sound like KMFDM-by-numbers. I'd love to get my hands on the Godlike, Naïve/The Days of Swine and Roses and Split singles to round out this era, but barring that I may eventually pick up the first volume of their singles collection.

edit: What I mean with COAK was that when I was a kid I basically listened to whatever was on the radio, and didn't really have much of a musical identity. Then I was listening to the radio in bed fairly late at night (for a kid) and the local college radio station played "Daisy Chain 4 Satan" and it completely changed the way I looked at music. I was probably about 10 years old at the time and if it wasn't for hearing THAT song at THAT time, I probably never would have gotten into Nine Inch Nails, which became an even larger gateway into other great music.

YEP. :lol:
When did new Sepultura stop sounding like Sepultura? Their latest, Kairos, is fairly meh, but the frustrating thing is the riffs are fairly solid (there is one moment where they blatantly steal from Dead Skin Mask, but if you're going to blatantly steal a classic riff, why not that one) and the final product could be amazing if it combined this level of consistency with classic Sepultura drumming.

The Cure - Faith
To be honest, I actually find Faith kind of boring. With the exception of the song "Primary," (which I consider to be amazing) I can take or leave that album. Never understood the hype for that album.
Been grooving to this song for awhile now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuqsTenJD78 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuqsTenJD78)
That reminds me of Human League somewhat!
Not that most of you would be interested in this guy, but my dear acquaintance Mr. G has been working with an English singer-songwriter named James Carrington who has a single out now:
http://jamescarrington.com/album/ache
...JG also provided keyboard programming for that track. It's been used on quite a few TV shows and his debut album is scheduled for release this summer, titled The Dreamer's Machine. It's classic acoustic-based pop, but nicely melodic, IMO.
To me, the dullness IS the point of Faith - the whole thing as far as I know is supposed to sound really gray, and it succeeds at that in my eyes.

I had forgotten for awhile, but I was recently reminded of an omen I received when I was 19 years old that the Violent Femmes' "Blister In The Sun" would be playing when I died.
I completely and totally believe this omen, and I avoid this song like the plague, which is a shame, because it's a decent song.

man overboard! http://www.spin.com/articles/exclusive-puscifer-debut-eerie-first-song
Wow. I really like that. Its some very good stuff.
I can't wait to hear the rest of the album thought.
"But even when he's deep into Puscifer mode, Maynard's other projects are never far from his mind. After their summer tour, A Perfect Circle "might put out a track or two," he says. "The energy is good, so there's always the potential for a future." And Tool? "We're writing," he says."
:D :D :D
They've been writing for years ::)
(honestly I will be surprised if we see another tool album anytime soon if at all :( )
i sort of expected 10,000 days to be their final release. I had my reasons for it, so to hear that they're writing at all is awesome.
Listening to whatever "Aavikko" tracks I can pull up on YouTube. I suddenly remembered this Finnish synth-pop band I heard at the local dive bar live close to a decade ago. Nearly empty bar, no one was giving a shit when their set started. Gradually the patrons started migrating towards the stage as they played. By the end of their set, there were only about 30-40 people left in the building, but they were all clustered around the stage and screaming for more. Aavikko played 3 encores and the only reason they didn't play a 4th was because it was past 2am and the bar management forcibly kicked everyone out so that they wouldn't lose their liquor license. I remember asking "Oh my god, who the fuck did we just see?" and before I could get an answer a surly bouncer shoved me roughly and yelled "GET. THE FUCK. OUT." It took some detective work to figure out the band later.
Honestly, not great in the studio, but unbelievable live.

If I was a betting man, I would say 2012.
I dunno if there was going to be an album within a year I think they'd have to already have it finished and be working on the decoy album
May 2012 is what was stated in their newsletter (http://www.toolband.com/news/letter/index.php?t=1&id=59) unless they are just fucking around again. Also my understanding is that it usually just comes down to when they can get Maynard to come in and lay down the vocals... the music is usually all already done. I'm not the biggest toolie so please correct me if I'm wrong about that.
Maybe someone can get Dr Pepper to sort something out.
I don't know if this has been posted before, but I thought this was fucking great, being as Megaman 2 is basically the undisputed king of video game sountracks:

Somehow, it has taken me three years to figure out that I never bought/ripped/downloaded/what-have-you 4:13. This saddens me. I'll have to do something about that next time I venture near a music-selling type place.
Mildly funny story involving the Cure: I was listening to Lovesong on YouTube, then listened to Just Like Heaven next. I was kinda on a kick, I guess, because I listened to Pictures of You before switching over to some Hendrix.
Not an hour later, I called MadCatz' tech support to troubleshoot for a PC peripheral I ordered from them, and the waiting music was The Cure... twice in a row: first, Lovesong, and then Just Like Heaven. I was kinda like"WTF?" (I've never had a waiting playlist play the SAME BAND TWICE, let alone the same two songs I'd just listened to) and was glad they answered because I was freaking out that they might play some Pictures of You into Purple Haze next.
And just imagine if they'd played the Cure cover of Purple Haze ???
I really expected the tech support line was going to have Pictures of You. I was rather put out when HP used it in a commercial some years back. That commercial and CSI are the reasons I'd really like to see media be forced to run a little banner detailing the music it uses WHILE THE SONG IS ON. Movies, it's easy enough to grab the soundtrack, or sit through the credits. It takes more searching than that for television, and it's annoying. *pout* /random

In spite of starring the vocalist from one of the most mediocre 'heavy' rock bands to come out of Finland (Lauri Ylonen of The Rasmus), it's actually not that bad. It's probably the heaviest song with just a high tenor vocalist, percussion and a string quartet I've ever heard.
Any of you on spotify?
This video is so ridiculously '80's, but this has to be one of my favorite albums of all time. Every time I listen to it I like it more. I even love the cheesy saxophone solo.

Very "Indiana Jones."
Am I old if I told you I remember dancing to that song in goth clubs? 8-p Still one of their best and that entire album is a true classic.
Yes you are, but that's not a bad thing. I've always maintained that I was born 1 generation too late; I turned 15 in 1999, which meant I got to be a teenager for Y2K, and I got to be in high school when The Fragile and Lateralus and Animositisomina came out, but I try to play Floodland for self-described "goths" of my generation, and they've never even HEARD OF it.
Yeah it's crazy how "goth" now means pink neon leopard print and screamo part deux.
Same goes for Bauhaus. They don't have a clue who they are either.

WHOA, really? Even the 'too uncool to be cool since being uncool is now cool' goth kids in my high school knew about the Bauhaus. I shouldn't say much because some of them would quote bands like Sisters of Mercy and I'd go "who?", but I wasn't a goth and even I knew of the Bauhaus.
I blame today's hipsters.
I shunned Bauhaus for a long time because of what I thought they sounded like, and then when I actually heard them for the first time I thought "Wow, I wish I had listened to these guys earlier." And no one at my high school was capable of telling me otherwise, because Bauhaus was too mainstream for their hipster sensibilities. :lol:
HA. Those kids were probably all, "That's totally SO mainstream goth."
sin: "Wait, what the fuck is a...?"
I was, as far as I could tell, the first person at my high school to get into Skinny Puppy, and the first person to get into Ministry, and one of the first to get into KMFDM.
I'm proud of my Ministry "origin story:" I got into Ministry in rehab. I got arrested for possession of marijuana when I was a freshman in High School, and I made a deal with the district attorney that she wouldn't file charges against me if I successfully completed a drug rehabilitation program.
So I signed up for "MECCA" (Mid-Eastern Council for Chemical Abuse) and I got assigned a "counselor" named Brian, who was an asshole and a hardass, but was also incredibly lazy.
Due to the fact that he was incredibly lazy, whenever it was time for one of my drug tests, he would try to pull whoever was closest to him away from whatever they were doing to monitor my test for him. As such, he frequently conscripted "Rick" away from whatever job he was supposed to be doing in order to monitor my test.
Rick was badass. Rick was a former meth addict who had gotten clean and was so good as his job that there was NO WAY that MECCA was going to waste him counseling adolescent pot-"addicts." Rick was working with hardcore meth and crack and heroin addicts, and getting THEM clean, so that they wouldn't die.
Rick was covered in tattoos and had a general "grizzled" appearance about him. One day when he was monitoring my drug test, he saw me wearing a Tool shirt and mentioned "Yeah, I saw them live like, right after they put out 'Undertow'."
We got to talking about music, and he ended up recommending Ministry to me, and I checked them out and fucking LOVED them.
That's actually really fucking awesome. lol Nice!
Wow. My tendency to trip on good music (like stumble over, not like LSD trip) doesn't hold a candle to an "origin story" like that. That's epic. Most of the cool stuff I listen to came from here if I didn't just happen across it on my own.

Not even joking: The Beach Boys might be the greatest American rock band of all time.
That album owns. Check out Holland too if you haven't already.
turrrrrtle!!!
i've been spinning the tpd remix ep.
forgot how rad that disc is.
Sparks' "This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us" covered by Faith No More with Sparks. The whole performance is awesome, but the best part is the big dopey grin on Patton's face by the end. He and Russell are having such a fucking blast up there.

I went on a NIN binge tonight...WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! :))
Mostly watching vids from the '08 tour, that was an awesome band, IMO.
*edit*
OMG I love that cover of C-Numb!
dominique young unique's mixtapes have been a staple of my summer listening, the music is just awesome and she's a super talented rapper (only 19! ) . she's got yet another mixtape coming out next week, I think.
had a chance to hear an advance of the new lenny kravitz album. it's alright, I was hoping it'd be better..I like half of it,the other half is a bit too commercial in an almost too intentional way.
at the very moment, I'm listening to plateau's music for grassbars, which is really just awesome. haven't heard this one in years and I'm not sure I ever gave it the proper chance. loving it now though.

Scale The Summit are an instrumental prog-metal band, but unlike most prog (especially instrumental stuff) which ends up at some point turning into multiple musicians taking turns shredding like mofos, these guys have taken a very band-centric approach to their musical style. Solos are practically non-existent, and it makes for some very interesting compositions. Its also definitely not a speed-driven affair, unlike most others in the prog-metal genre (like Dream Theater or Symphony X). Really, really great stuff, and well worth your time to give them a listen.

Still not really into the new KMFDM, but kind of starting to get into the song "Rebels in Kontrol"

Totally. More ambience-based than Scale The Summit, but definitely in the same musical area. Nice stuff, I'll have to look into them further.
For another NP, if this track doesn't make you shake your groove thang, I would posit that your thang ain't got no groove.

Prominent industrial artist scores hot singer for a wife and immediately hands over vocal duties to her. I think I've heard this story a few times....
Like when BLeeb married Sarah McLachlan
it's totally cheezy and screams one hit wonder but i can't get enough of this song right now

Maybe I'll check out the album when I have a chance
the album itself didn't do too much for me, just those two songs. i might give it another listen sometime, but im not rushing to it.
just now listening to Peter Steels first band, Carnivore.
how am i just getting to this??
I am sure the folks in California are totally sick of "Pumped Up Kicks" by now, but yeah, I think it's pretty great as laid-back summer jam.
I heard it a bunch on the radio when I was in Sunnyvale earlier this year, so my brain's hardwired to associate it with cruising through Silicon Valley on a cool morning just as the sun's coming up. I couldn't have picked a more perfect memory for that song if I'd tried.
I love it when a song is associated with an awesome time, mine is dog days are over I heard it so many times a year ago driving around in l.a., every time I hear it now it's so ^-^
Yet another album to look forward to this fall http://officialskinnypuppy.blogspot.com/2011/08/skinny-puppy-sets-release-dates-for.html?m=1
OH FUCK YES! I saw the art work on Key's facebook. I really think they should have made one of the hands have 6 fingers... But I'm super happy!!!!
And new Garbage album coming soon! Six fucking years... :rock:
aaron, there's also samples up of the new sp album as well. sounds like a natural evolution from their past 2 albums, but better.
these past few days I've been really listening to alot of syd barrett stuff, mainly some of the old pf singles,their first album and his first solo album (couldn't find a link for his 2nd album) . I'm by no means a floyd fan, though there's something very intriguing about syd. been doing alot of reading up on him, and there's something that really draws the viewer in of the american bandstand performance the band did..the "gone" look in his eyes..
I think I'm gona shun the samples. I have been able to for the other albums, other then the singles. I will download them, since I don't have any real radio stations around that play them... But other wise, I stick to the albums on the day they come out... Really trying to stay away from them till then.
Wow, new Skinny Puppy? I had no idea. This will make 5 new albums I've bought this year. Insanity.

marilyn manson's looking more and more like a cross between pee-wee herman, bronson pinchot, and a tired johnny depp character.
it's soooo sad.
the song sounds like a bad remix of "cake and sodomy".
horrible lyrics.
and i paraphrase:
"THE RAPE OF PERSEPHONE WAS A MARKETING SCHEME
(RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE PERSEPHONE)"
and spliced in the song are even worse spoken word bits and bad acting and gratuitous violence.
oh, and an eyeball in a vagina. which is funny.
i'll give him props for the eyeball in the vagina.
but wow.
lamesville.
still trying too hard I see.
The sheepdogs - learn and burn is totally rocking my world right now ^-^
I saw they won that Rolling Stone cover contest and keep meaning to check them out.
Do it!
listened to "Learn and Burn." Good stuff. Definitely in the vein of The Allman Brothers (or at least this track). I just hear a lot of classic influences I enjoy. I'll be looking for this one on vinyl for sure. Thanks!
it would have been more shocking to hear a good song from marilyn manson rather than try that hard with that video. i haven't liked anything of his since...mechanical animals i think.
I have to disagree with teeps about the interstitial scenes in the Manson vid. They are easily the best thing in the video. The tossed-together sets and terrible acting give those scenes a trashy John Waters (or maybe early David Lynch?) vibe that's fairly effective. The rest of the video is Manson stuck in the same rut he's been in for the last dozen years: trying too hard to be transgressive and ending up trite and ridiculous.
Manson's MO is presenting the everyday banalities as horror (which is pretty fertile ground). To make that idea work, it's crucially important to keep everything a little shoddy, a little familiar, to really drive home the horror. I think that's why POAFF is the best thing Manson put out. Much as he wants to set himself up as a superstar/god/devil/whatever, he's much more disturbing as the weirdo obsessively splicing tapes of Willy Wonka and Charlie Manson in a bedroom down the street.
As far as the song goes you hit the nail on the head. It's the sound of someone rewriting "Cake and Sodomy" and doing a real shit job of it.
At this point I'm almost willing to believe that he's doing this on purpose: purposefully parodying himself. I disagree that there are ANY decent parts to this smeared abortion. It's really, really sad.
Kinda makes me wish he would have OD after Holywood. Shit, even Golden age is leaps and bounds better then this...But ya... this is horrible...
On the plus side, he seems to have lost some weight, so I had to change my profile pic.
This over and over.

Manorexia - Dinoflagellate Blooms
More awesomeness from JG Thirlwell. In some ways I think this is superior to even the latest Foetus album. JGT retains the creepy cinematic quality of the earlier Manorexia albums, but the experimental aspect of the project is now tempered with the compositional structure of Steriod Maximus (and even the Venture Bros work). It's pretty freakin' sweet.
rynne- you totally hit the nail on the head re: Marilyn Manson
Also, it's too soon for me to comment on the Jack White/ICP atrocity.
MM has never been good. He was able to ride on his own hype temporarily when people mistook his shtick as being zeitgeisty, and some of you here are tempted to pass off your nostalgia for an era that gave him that much as meaning he was once half-decent, but that's as much as I'm willing to give him.
And even that's too much.
Manson was never original, I'll give you that. Manson backed by Berkowitz' and Gein's music was legitimately good.
Yeah man. I think his first 3 albums were terrific. It has nothing to do with my perceptions of his cultural impact. It has to do with me liking certain types of music, and Marilyn Manson's music fulfilling the criteria of those types.
I can certainly understand why others might not; even among my friends I like Marilyn Manson more than anyone else. But I just can't abide the idea that he never did anything worthwhile.

Well said. I agree entirely. In my own case, I do have to grant a certain degree of nostalgia for a time when I was of a mind that it meant something, but now I just listen to his old stuff because I like how it sounds.
Right now though, I cannot get enough of Cu Dubh. I picked up their debut album, Order of the Owl, at King Richard's Faire this past weekend and have NOT stopped listening to it. They're a (mostly) three man pipe and drum outfit and they are INCREDIBLE. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! Website here (http://cudubh.com/Cu_Dubh/Cu_Dubh.html). I just wish they had out more than one album!!!
converge - no heroes
cursive - mama, im swollen
porcupine tree - deadwing
radiohead - ok computer

Call me a hater, but I share a similar view on MM to tim. Even in his prime, he was contrived. Reznor did a fantastic production job on ACS that I can respect, and it makes the album enjoyable, but everything else to me reminds me of a world in which Dane Cook is actually funny and Kiss are true musicians.
the one thing about marilyn manson that i do appreciate, it that at least for a certain realm of people, it made rock n roll taboo again. it made parents hate him, and their children love him. he shook shit up. where as dane cook was trying to be funny and didn't, and kiss sold out continuously, marilyn manson seemed to accomplish what he set out to do, at least to some extent.
Its like someone took everything awesome about classic Deep Purple and wrapped it in bacon.

Cool. I always appreciate more reference points for navigating Laswell's ridiculously extensive discography.
Right now I am currently liking the new Battles album. It boasts the most percussion-centric production I've heard from any honest-to-goodness live band whose name doesn't start with "T" and end with "ool." Stanier sounds like an absolute beast on this. It's a worthy follow-up to
Mirrored that doesn't really suffer much for the loss of Tyondai Braxton.
I'm also digging
Black Up from Shabazz Palaces, which contrasts of-the-moment dub-by-way-of-dubstep production weirdness with Ishmael Butler's ultra-smooth throwback lyrical flow. Fuckin' sweet.
made the mistake of getting the ministry track pack 02 for rock band.
i figured, "hey, i don't like ministry now, but the chance to drum along to Rieflinesque greatness on Stigmata, Thieves, and Jesus Built My Hotrod... why the fuck not!"
Except i didn't bother to preview the tracks and assumed the corresponding album artwork was indicative of getting the original classics... and no.
These are those horrible re-hashed "covers" that al did himself in an effort to not pay paul barker or anyone else more than the basic writing credit. yes, folks, he wiped out the paul barker's bass tracks, and probably the drums tracks too, and completely remade those songs... and they're not good. not at all.
the vox is just horrible. and phoned in. the whole thing sounds like a cover band... but it's not... but it so is.
i'm begining to think he made them purposefully shitty so his newer stuff sounds better by comparison.
such revisionist history. a lot of people don't even know they're not the lp (or even single) versions.
there's no indication of this other than my own ears.
it's sad.
i ended up giving al money to rape my ears.
i should have expected it... but i kinda didn't.
i felt like i should have moved the drum kit to shower so i could play in a foetal position crying.
:(
al jourgensen is the george lucas of industrial music... great a long time ago... but now just into making money and shitting on his legacy.
i need a hug. :(
I was saying about a month ago to my friends: "It's clear now that Paul was the brains behind Ministry, and Al was the face... and now's Ministry is a face without a brain. It's Lindsey Fucking Lohan."
I need to learn a new language so I have enough superlatives to describe the new Tori Amos album. Trent would never have had all that problem with Pretty Hate Machine if he'd put it out on DG.

From what I understand, Al's gift was being an facilitator. He was able to assemble a lot of really talented musicians and get them to work together to produce something great. Without Al, there's no way you would've had Paul, Bill, Chris, Ogre, Jello, Ian Mc-fuckin-Kaye, etc. in one place making a fuckload of awesome music. That's no mean feat.
Al's mistake was getting it in his head that he was the one responsible for the music itself and that the other guys were disposable. So he treated them like shit, they all left, and now Al's legacy is a joke.

It's just the old fogey in me, but while I think Watch The Throne is interesting, Kayne just annoys me. But I've always liked Jay-Z. Vocally, I mean. Production-wise I think he's interesting, but I wish he wouldn't rap.
I have been on a Ministry kick as of late.
Mostly just listening to Stigmata on loop. Fucking love this song. My favorite weapon is the look in your eyes.

This rap thing the kids are doing these days - it's just words, isn't it. No skill to it, it's just speaking. Why can't they sing nice tunes?
:p
Isn't it time for your meat-with-meat pie and meat? :p
Kanye singing is worse than Kanye rapping, IMO. I think Kanye is an interesting producer/arranger/songwriter (and a trainwreck for everything else) but Jay-Z really shows him up in the flow on that record. But even so there's nothing as interesting as "Monster" from KW's last record, except maybe "No Church in the Wild."
Zola Jesus-Night. While I'm not her hugest fan. I really like this song.
Tool-Flood. I think Zola should cover this song. While she may have to slow it down a bit. I think it she could do it.

I love Ascension. John Coltrane's greatest work.
I've been listening to the new Tori Amos almost to the exclusion of everything else. The orchestrations are so lush.
Also the new Kittie and Anthrax albums, which are suprisingly similar in that they are varied in style to the extent they don't really have any coherence. Good moments in both, though.
Also, the new Alice Cooper - Welcome to my nightmare 2 - which is pretty much the definition of milking your legacy, to the extent where the last track is a four minute romp through his greatest hits. There's also a disco track with lyrics that are cringeingly immature, even for Alice Cooper.

She may be a bit wacky, but you can't deny the mass of talented songwriting she has. Now that it's been a while since the Tori stuff for me, I find myself going back and listening to her a bit more. Phenomenal tunesmith.

Not the same, but if you like ISIS they are worth checking into. Their first album is AMAZING!!!!) ANYHOO I just got Cleansing Undertones of WAKE/LIFT its pretty much all the "sounds" used on the WAKE/LIFT album. Like samples, odd uh... Sounds in the background of the song... I guess you could call it ambient... I haven't played it all yet. But am listening now.

Lou Reed & Metallica - "The View" (http://soundcloud.com/loureedmetallica/the-view) (via Soundcloud)
Holy shit. This SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS.
What with Metallica having effected a partial return to their thrash roots and Lou Reed being occasionally still interesting, I honestly thought this collaboration had the potential to be worthwhile. Instead, we get Lou Reed reciting trite nonsense backed by what sounds like a band of middle-schoolers bashing out a single braindead riff for four minutes straight, until Hammett decides to wrap up the proceedings with a wanky, out-of-place solo. This is the sound of five guys getting in a studio and going, "Eh, fuck it. Why bother?"
It's not just bad, it's downright fucking embarassing for everyone involved.
You know, I can understand what they were trying to do, but that's definitely not what came out. Metallica's been fucking pathetic for the last decade, and now they're sucking other people down with them into their shit vortex. Ugh. I feel like I need to bleach my ears now.
This makes me sad. I had hope for it as well. Too bad the only part of Lou Reed that rubbed off on Metallica were his dead, heroin-addled brain cells and not his talent. 8(

The Metallica thing sounds as if they're trying (and failing) to be mid-90s Cathedral.
Don't really understand why Hetfield and Ulrich don't respond to Dave Mustaine's offer to do a supergroup album. They've soiled their legacy so frequently at this stage that it wouldn't really matter if it was terrible, it'd sell in huge quantities (and let's face it, that's all they care about), and having failed to make a good thrash album when they tried with Death Magnetic, it might be the only way they'll ever make a good album again.

I finally listened to the new tori album- it's the best one in at least 10 years hands down.

Earlier I was listening to "Wild Man" - I was right in my premonition that Kate's album is, literally, about snow.
Okay now I'm laughing at "The Rapture"...when is MayJay not pissed at somebody?
animals as leaders - weightless
SO GOOD OMG
The new Puscifer album was good. Not really amazing, but I haven't ever thought they were... (Good stuff, just not mind blowingly good.)
I've been listening to Doug Stanhope non stop. He is amazing. Funny as hell, and also says some really good stuff. I think I may like him more then Bill Hicks. (Only cuz Stanhope is still alive, and Hicks is dead... If Hicks was still alive, I'm sure he would still be rocking it. And funny.) I just ordered all his CD's and the newest CD/DVD combo pack thing.
Also been listening to SP lately as well. New album in 10 days!!!!!! So super happy about that! I haven't listened to anything from it. (Well I was gona read an interview with SP and they had background music playing on the site, and while I can't say for sure it was puppy, I can't say it wasn't. So I closed it. Like 2 seconds into the music playing...) EITHER way, can't wait!

Primus returns!!
http://youtu.be/HR5VZ332stI
puscifer scares me.
primus' "jilly's on smack" is a new favorite of mines off their new album. it also sounds really cool live.
That is another choice cut from that album. So great to hear Les and Larry back to groovin' off each other, and to hear Jay Lane's influence actually on a solid recording. I'd always heard how he played was a big part of how the band found their sound, but he left before their first major-label debut.
In other news, I don't think its possible to cover this song and not have it be heart-wrenching. Quite an unexpected source for a song like this.
http://youtu.be/uyVetNaEWqM
Also, if you've seen Away From Her, you know this song is going to put your heart through the food processor all over again.
on Green Naugahyde, I still hear reminisce of "Here Come the Bastards" on Last Salmon Man and The Last Superpower somewhere else. I don't mind it, but it's in there. Moron TV is another favorite of mine.
Seriously, seeing them live isn't fair. They can take an hour and a half set and make it feel like 20 minutes. I didn't understand when the show was over, it felt like they just got started.
After a couple listens, I think the entire album is solid, cover to cover. Every track showcases their different stylistic techniques in one way or another. In this case, they really can all be zingers. :P
i need to give it another few listens, i've only made it through once and didn't dislike it but nothing really stood out
I downloaded the new Puscifer album...
I haven't listened to it enough to know how I feel. But after the listen from the website and now today's. Its kinda meh... I mean, its not terrible. But at the same time, it isn't amazing, or ground breaking. Just something to listen to. I'll know for sure soon. I will say, I'm glade I didn't buy it... :(
I was completely intending to buy it but it's not available to buy a digital copy through puscifer.com...will give it a listen tomorrow

Whoa. Proggy. So they're from DC, huh? Maybe I'll see if they have any dates 'round here, it looks like it'd be a fun show.
For Puscifer, I don't know, MayJay's inscrutability is becoming more and more perplexing to me. The songs are pretty good. Good enough, in fact, to make me wonder why APC or Tool weren't given a stab at them. But then there's that cover art, which seems calculated to undermine the whole mood. I know that MayJay's all about that kind of screwing with expectations, yet my gut's telling me that he'd get super pissed if anyone actually asks him, "What's the deal with your ridiculous cover art?"

That was indeed progtastic. Me likey! Reminded me a lot, stylistically speaking, of what I discovered recently in Scale The Summit. These guys get a little more shreddy that STS does, but the groove is similar. Their two albums just made my wish list.
I have listened to Tool's cover of No Quarter all day today. Nothing else has been played... I also think it blows the og out of the water...
Ok the new apc er puscifer album is ok, not great

Really gona have to get that Bjork. I only have Post...
Got some CDs at the store:
Ladytron - Gravity the Seducer
Marilyn Manson - Portrait of an American Family
For all my advocating of PoaAF as the only MM album that matters, I still only had the album on 17-year-old-cassette. Now that I've finally got rid of my last cassette player (it was standard equipment in my old Volkswagen) it was time to get one of those new-fangled compact disks everyone's been talking about.
I like the Ladytron album. It often feels like it's more concerned with ambiance than melody, but that's cool with me. I really the dig the "Moon Palace"/"Altitude Blues"/"Ambulances"/"Melting Ice" sequence. Disappointed that work obligations kept me from seeing them in DC last week.
hahaha I love that you updated to an almost outdated format... (I don't want CD's to die, but they are... :( )
I will always love physical music products.* I suppose that means I should start getting vinyl if I have enough money in the future. But at very least and for now, having a CD means that I always will have a lossless hardcopy of my mp3s.
*A hard drive or portable mp3 player/smartphone, no matter how well stocked, is simply orders of magnitude less impressive than a wall full of albums.

Hell yes. This statement is endorsed by me 100% and exactly why 75% of any new album I get is on vinyl. (then I just download the wallet friendly mp3's for the portability factor.)
Same. I love having a CD to hold and look at while playing an album. I do however, use my mp3 player a lot. But I love my cd's

The New Skinny Puppy. It's amazing. I don't want to ruin anything for anyone. But it starts really slow and mellow. And it stays that way for a few songs. Then it goes crazy and picks up the pace. I really like it. Granted. Im a huge fan boy. But still. Kick ass. I don't see my self listening to much else for awhile...
I was underwhelmed by the new Mastodon. They have said they wanted more songs that were easy to play live, and compared to the last album it sounds almost garage rock. There are some killer tracks (especially the opener) but a lot of plodding filler too. Disappointing, but as Mastodon's second album was brilliant, third awful, fourth amazing and fifth not great, I am still hoping for great things to come.
Megadeth's new album has leaked. Sounds from stuff I've read as if it will be very mixed, with old riffs and tracks that never quite made it from different eras used for different songs. Sudden Death (which has been out there for a while) sounds like something off Peace Sells in parts, but other tracks sound weaker. Still, new Megadeth is always a good thing.

This week, of course, is dedicated to Petrus. And I have learned:
-my relationship to this music is largely unchanged, even though it's sad to think that someone who possessed such unassailable character within the music itself is no longer alive
-the 45-second intro to "Stay Out of My Dreams" (which comes back around mid-song) is one of the best things they ever did, and yet it's so incredibly simple, but they made it into an expression of what made their sound so compelling
-Dead Again is a well-made album but even a year later the only song I can really embrace is "Hail and Farewell to Britain," although eventually more may grow on me; that's how it was with World Coming Down.

the assassination of jesse james OST - nick cave/warren ellis
Handover impressions after one listen.
The most overwhelming impression is that this doesn't sound like a Skinny Puppy record. Or at least most of it doesn't. "Vyrisus" and "Village" sound like what I'd expect from SP. And I guess "Wavy," since it sounds like it's re-purposed the guitar track from "Jaher."
Ever since SP reformed, a small group of fans have claimed that post-Dwayne SP was indistinguishable from ohGr. I understood what they were getting at. Until Handover I never was inclined to agree. But I'll be damned if the first four slow tracks don't sound like they could be slotted into an ohGr record and no one would know the difference. The same could perhaps be said of "Gambette," except that it inexplicably sounds poppier than anything ohGr would typically produce.
cEvin asserts himself more over the rest of the album, though in unexpected ways. "Icktums" sounds like a fractured take on trance. "Point," "Brownstone" and "Noisex" push beats of varying degrees of abstraction well to the forefront. I think "Brownstone" is the most successful musically, being rhythmically reminiscent of late-period Autechre, though I'm not enamored of the vocals. "Noisex" is kinda disappointing; I couldn't identify any unique twist to justify a resurrection of drill-n-bass long past the genre's high point, let alone let it run far longer than any other track on the album.
None of this is to say that I think this is a bad record. I'm sure that repeated listens will reveal more to appreciate. But I can't deny that I didn't have the same level of response to Handover as I did on initial listens of TGWotR and Mythmaker.

:p
Talking Heads -- Sand In the Vaseline
Aphex Twin -- "Alberto Balsalm"
always loved the drum samples in this one.
Chris Connelly – Artificial Madness
With The High Confessions last year and this latest solo offering, it seems like Chris is embracing his aggressive side again, which is always a great thing. Artificial Madness is post-punk (think early Killing Joke) with some hardcore tinges, thanks to a backing band assembled from current metal session musicians. While Chris isn't quite returning to the form of his Ministry/RevCo days, this album is most similar to his early solo albums like Whiplash Boychild and Phenobarb Bambalam. Not surprisingly, I like it, particularly "Classically Wounded" and "The Paraffin Hearts."
NIN -- The Slip <vinyl>
New Justice is pretty cool. Not as awesome as cross but still kinda epic at times.
it falls short... :(
that 17 min bonus track was pretty sweet. and i like the self-titled track, but yeah could have been better. esp since it took so long for a followup to the first one.

Bootsy Collins - Christmas Is 4 Ever
I've decided that I'm sick and tired of hearing the same two-dozen Christmas songs every fucking year. So if I can't join 'em, I'll beat 'em. There's no doubt and album of Bootsy's holiday music will be silly, but it's not exactly a joke. Bootsy's too damn funky to produce something that's not a hell of a good time, especially when he calls in favors from fellow P-Funkers like Bernie Worrell and Blackbyrd McKnight (or, for that matter, Snoop Dogg and Charlie Daniels(?!!??!!?)).
Am I going to listen to this at any point between Christmas and Thanksgiving? Probably not. But for that one terrible month when the whole country goes into a frothing Christmas fury, this is a hundred times better than being subjected once again to the pile of shit that is "Wonderful Christmastime."

So r00tle was in the office being fascinated by the turntables, so I set a chair up for her and put on a grubby 99-cent Led Zeppelin IV vinyl and let her go to work. She was scratching, working the crossfader, and pitch adjusting like crazy. It was hilarious!
im really happy i was able to grab my mom an original US pressing of The White Album on vinyl for Christmas. It came with all the album artwork, and original photographs. it has a stamp that is below the 3 million mark, and was being sold for 30 dollars. It said it had some scratches on it and was in B-/C condition, and I decided to ask one of the owners of the record store if that scratched affected play on the vinyls or if they are just surface marks. he opened them up, cleaned them and played the needle over the spots in the store, and the records played completely fine. he seemed somewhat surprised and admitted that had he known that the scratches were so minor, stating that there are so many trade-ins around Christmas, he had to go off of the physical appearance of the record and not the audible condition (though one of them runs about half the record down) it would have been sold for at least $150, and not the $30 that I payed. Luckily he didn't jack up the price at all, and my mom was ecstatic to say the least. :D

I've played it three a lot of times now. I really dig it. Also any one else notice how blood shot his eyes are?
So for new years eve, one of the bars had a live band that was good (I was impressed how good they were) They did a cover a Black Keys song, and I don't remember the song, but the live band did a really good job with it. I'm kinda pissed I don't know the song thought. But I have been watching their youtube vids to see if I can't find it. Only issue I have is, the live band was four people. So they had a lot more sound then two guys could make. However one of my friends knows the guy in the band (whole reason we went there) so I may just see if he can't ask him what song it was...
Was it when the lights go out? If not you should pick up attack and release and brothers because it's probably from one of those....actually you should just get them either way because they rock so much
I don't think it was. It was more rock n roll then that or up beat however you want to call it.. And I swear it had "the black keys" as part of the chorus. I was also a bit drunk at the time, So I could be wrong... I'm reading lyrics now, and I still can't find anything.
Not necessarily NP-related, but hopefully it'll make you lol like I did...
me: Ew. The new Seether single is just as bad as the rest of their crap.

That's awesome r00
OMG SO CUTE! :wub:
So Tim has been saying he likes Skrillex - I guess one of his friends has Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites - and I became briefly cool again when I told him that threat (who he met once) was a long-time friend of Sonny's. :D And then we argued about which song is best. I'm voting for "First of the Year" but he likes "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites."
Public Enemy - Fear of a Black Planet
I have come to the conclusion that this is, most likely, the greatest hip-hop record ever cut. This is my opinion, and I stand by it.
God bless the golden age of rap. <3 Musically, I like It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back better, but FoaBP still owns and has amazing production value, especially for that time.
NIN - a-with-a (the) teeth-a
This album has gotten better with age.
I've been listening to a lot of Basement Jaxx- especially Zephyr

The new mars volta album is finally being released in march! ^-^
In honor of this momentous day tomorrow's listening will likely consist of some amputecture
I was actually really surprised to see that, after the reformation of at the drive-in. I wonder if atdi is just going to do a couple festivals, or if they're actually going into the studio and maybe touring more extensively. Cedric and Omar have been some pretty busy dudes lately, Omar is also the bassist in studio for the band le butcherettes too, who are awesome and insane. Either way, I'm totally looking forward to some new material from the mars volta.
Seeing Saul Williams next month so I've basically just been listening to his stuff and trying to get used to his newest release.
They never even properly toured for octahedron so I'm kind of expecting the same again...haven't played a show here since may 2008 :(
Metallica -- Garage Inc. <vinyl>
I came home from work today and found mail in front of my door. At first I thought it was my cube but that shipped yesterday so it isn't it, then my new stickers for my cubes? Then I picked it up and It wasn't stickers.
It was my 3 cd Girl with The Dragoon Tattoo thing. It's thick (dur) and awesome. (Also I was shocked since I had forgotten it was even mailing soon...)
Cypress Hill -- Cypress Hill
Crosses - I & II

Jesus. I think that is more impressive then the OG. At first I wanted to lol at how many people were around that one guitar but damn... After they started playing, I didn't want to laugh...
i feel that after about song 5 that album just falls flat. it starts so strong though!
But "state of the art" is both hilarious and awesome! and my current fav track is "don't worry we'll be watching you"
It took a few listens for me to get into it though

State of the art actually came in shuffle this morning, and I was totally digging it. There's just a couple tracks on the album where I felt the vibe was lost.

TGWTDT OST - tratticus
new m.i.a. is pretty frickin' catchy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uYs0gJD-LE
guess she'll be getting even more attention considering she just flipped the bird on national tv.
which i really didn't think was a big deal in 2012... but apparently it is?
I am guessing M.I.A. performed yesterday at the superbowl? I didn't watch the superbowl but the morning meatheads on the radio here were complaining about someone named "Meeya" that wasted her only shot at fame by flipping off the camera. According to them she was some "trailer trash" rap artist. ::) They also thought she was black... you know how all brown people look the same, amirite?
Honestly that is half the reason I listen to that morning show. It's a classic rock station and they are such total morons when it comes to any music or artists post 1990.

missed this when I made the above post. So true. I love all the massive press about how she tarnished the American Superbowl tradition. They are acting like she dropped her pants and took a dump on Sesame Street.
hahaha. wow.
too bad she wasted her one shot at fame. nevermind the fact she's already played the grammys and actually achieved a top-selling single in the dying music industry, or had time magazine list her as one of the most influential people, or was even nominated for an oscar.
the uninformed hackness and out-of-touchness is the exact reason the radio industry is dying as well.
edit:
keep editing this entry because I keep forgetting/learning the shit she's accomplished... see, i'll admit to not having all the facts...
but i'm not going to pretend i do either.

So true. If this is one of the top 2 (non-news) rated morning radio shows in a metro area of 2 million people, what does that say about American terrestrial radio? Seriously? This is the best we can get?
On the bright side, they do get some killer comedians in studio with them a lot due to the big comedy club here. Those times are always golden radio.

I've been listening to a lot of Amon Tobin- specifically, ISAM.
After hearing a Dead song on the radio on the way home I needed some Phish.
Billy Breathes, Farmhouse and some assorted songs.
I was looking at the new DJ Food album 'cause JG Thirlwell does guest vocals on one track, and I was excited to see that they'd also wrangled in Matt Johnson for a cover of "GIANT." The original "GIANT" is a masterpiece of The The's career, a nine-minute opus that starts with a skeletal drum machine pulse and fat analog bass, which are are then progressively draped with overlapping synth and guitar lines before everything is stripped away for a punishing tribal percussion breakdown*. It a song that could really lend itself to a great update by a technologically innovative set of producers, and the fact that Matt Johnson was on board made it that much more likely to be good.
I was sorely disappointed.
The new version follows the original pretty damn closely except for changing the sounds, so it's not a very innovative take. And the new sounds are all wrong. In the orignal, all the sounds are very sharp; aside from the bass, there's only one synth that has any real sustain. The melodic lines double as rhythmic elements, allowing that gorgeous analog bass to anchor the song. DJ Food's version uses more organic-sounding elements with a less distinct mix, which absolutely saps the intensity from the song. Even the pure percussion section, which should be a DJ's dream, feels lifeless.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIkw4E7WdiU (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIkw4E7WdiU)
*Which I loved even before I knew that JG Thirlwell was responsible for it.
We all know I'm a dinosaur. Having made that clear, I had been attempting disinterest in VH MachWhatever because Ed broke my heart too many times, but goddamn it A Different Kind of Truth pretty much rawks across the board. I think a couple of the songs should have been cut, and the mastering is squashed like a cockroach under a steamroller, but...the last minute-and-a-half of "As Is" is exactly why I loved Ed's playing in the first place. If he breaks my heart again, I'm gonna be so pissed.
I haven't heard the new album yet, but have read too many things about Eddie not being able to write anything new due to mental hang-ups. I had hoped this album would prove that he could, but it sounds like it is all from 70's demos and outtakes. Is that true?
As I understand it, a lot of the tracks are based on older ideas, but they've been fleshed out/reworked rather than just recording as is. I won't lie, it's very sort of "classic" sounding BUT I will say that it proves Ed can still truly play and has the fire in his belly, rather than the dumbed-down stuff he was doing in the 80s and the drugged-out rambling on III.
Ok, so I've been slapping Share buttons on various things, but haven't gotten around to properly posting them here for a while. This gets fixed now with a whack of awesome tunes from my new albums:
Great groove on this song that really explodes when it takes off.
Basia Bulat - "Gold Rush" (Heart Of My Own) (http://youtu.be/Tj-JJ7TS54I)
I really can't get enough of these guys, I really dig their fairly unique style. Ignore the actual video, just throw this on in a background tab and enjoy the song.
3 - "High Times" (The Ghost You Gave To Me) (http://youtu.be/9xMGnTPy3hU)
Mastodon's new album cuts a really good balance between sludgy grooves and prog embellishments. Awesome album, here's the first single.
Mastodon - "Curl of the Burl" (The Hunter) (http://youtu.be/lAihDAJX8Ow)
From what I've heard of Yes, Fly From Here is most reminiscent of their stuff from the 70s. This album could fit in right alongside Fragile and The Yes Album. Absolutely gorgeous work. I just hope it doesn't take another 11 damn years for the next album to come around.
Yes - "Hour of Need" (Fly From Here) (http://youtu.be/dgYDM12Zm_Q)
I'm really liking Animals As Leaders. Instrumental prog-metal trio, with both non-drummers playing 8-string guitars. They can switch off between rhythm and lead at will, and have technical chops that could rival Dream Theater.

Ah you picked my favorite song (I also like "Into The Storm")! I think it was well-done but there's still something sort of "quaint" about it even so. But Benoit is now out and Jon Davison of Glass Hammer is replacing him, so...we'll see if this Jon can withstand a tour with the geezers.
came across this track the other day and it's been owning me.

(3:19:32 PM) thiefofalways: Wow. This song sucks.
(3:19:46 PM) individualzero: It's basically everything I hate about and is wrong with modern rock radio. Kindergarten lyrics, riffs that I could play in my sleep, a drummer who's never heard of any drum piece but the double bass, raspy singing from the throat voices and Chad Kroeger.

And on the cd and the slip case there are paper cranes. I didn't think anything of it till I took the booklet out and there is a sheet of paper to make a crane, and instructions how to make said crane. Hella BA. Granted I'm sure the fact the band is from Japan helps, but I still think its a really cool idea.

Uh. I'm playing it now. I haven't listened to it all yet. I dig the art work.
It's SO MUCH BETTER than I thought it would be. It feels fresh and some new sound for them, but still familiar. I need more time with it, but i like it a lot.
I wasn't sure what to think when I heard the word "classical" bandied around for Tori Amos' new album. Then I heard the opening track, it all made sense, and its damn good.

it's nothing bad. i'm all right. i guess. just in a weird state of mind. but i think i'll be back for a while. i did miss this place and the people. and stuff...
as for the new tmv... i dunno, it hasn't really grabbed me as much as the other releases have. it's got some moments but nothing's really spoken to me like frances, ampu, or even that last one.

I like it. It has taken some plays to really grow on me. I do kinda miss the more up beat songs. However it is really good... And hearing him sing in a lower key is awesome...
I have basically been mixing things for hours every day. My gear count is increasing and it's basically just for fun, but I enjoy it so much. I should really record a mix and post it up here at some point.

Its a small band like the White Stripes in that there is two people, only the guy drums (and pianos) and the chick sings and guitars and other instruments. I really think that it could be in Donnie Darko. The art work having creepy as fuck rabbits helps a lot. But I realllllly like them. Granted I haven't had time to play their albums a ton. But they are good stuff.

I just got around to listening to this, and I have to say it's pretty rad. Pretty disappointed in what else I've heard from that band, however.
The Heads - No Talking, Just Head
Pretty stoked when I found this on Amazon for $0.43. Gotta love tracking down shit from when you were 13 years old and watching MTV at 1am when you weren't supposed to. Ahh, those were the days. :(
drone
new manson album ain't so bad
Edwin (I Mother Earth's first vocalist), Mike Turner (Our Lady Peace's first guitarist), Jeff Burrows (Tea Party's drummer), and some bassist they found in the dumpster behind the studio, all together in one band. Its like all of Canada in the '90s is compressed into one album. Its an awesome sound, but I'm sure a touch of nostalgia is skewing my perspective.
Crash Karma - "Awake" (Crash Karma ) (http://youtu.be/B4B04vho_6U)
ill always love the tea party, ill have to check these guys out
lots and lots of zappa and beefheart
opeth + porcupine tree = Storm Corrosion
more laid back stuff, but i still really like it
Yeah, that first single for Storm Corrosion really piqued my interest. Looking forward to hearing the rest of the album. I'm not much of an Opeth fan, but Steven Wilson has yet to turn me wrong.
For my next album, I'm glad Symphony X pushed the keyboards up a little bit in the mix, compared to "Paradise Lost". Gives things a much fuller sound, which this epicness of this scale really deserves. This is a gorgeous overture to an amazing 85 minutes of music. If you're a fan of anything remotely heavy (especially proggy stuff like Dream Theater), Symphony X deserves your ears.
Symphony X - "Iconoclast" (Iconoclast) (http://youtu.be/39frVu8gijg)
you can really hear where their styles meet on the album.
i love both bands, so as soon as i saw this, i got excited.
the video for drag ropes is really cool, too.
(im sure you've seen it, but just in case)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=manW5v-AR7U
Noctourniquet = I think it's got great production values; but the direction has to grow on me a bit yet. However, Cedric's voice is gorgeous as always; if anything the new style really compliments his full range.
And not that anyone but Goose might be interested, but here's my review of Trevor's new album (out on Tuesday), which is instrumental jazz fusion:
http://rabinesque.blogspot.com/2012/04/jacaranda-review.html
*cough cough* I really liked the track yous sent me. Sludge. It's amazering!
I bought some Rollins Band cds. And I've become impatient waiting for them to get here. So I've downloaded Liar, and Low Self Opinion. Really can't wait for them to get here.
Also have been playing some Zappa, lots of ISIS and Rosetta as well.
Ah that's right! I think you would like "Through The Tunnel" as it's that same kind of thing.
I also wanted to say re: TMV that my favorite albums will always be Frances and Bedlam but I think I always appreciate whatever they try even if I don't always fall in love with it.
i listened to it again recently and it was better than i remembered... but still hasn't blown me away like frances, ampu, or even octa.
also, i think the El Grupo Nuevo album felt more like a TMV record than Nocturni did.
and i don't know how new this direction is considering omar made the music like 3 or 4 years ago or something? ah well, maybe the next one.
i will say the tracks that kick ass DO kick ass.
Well okay, new direction for that time. :P
And I really do like the El Grupo Nuevo album as well, it's just so out there.
see I find every new volta album somehow ends up right where I am at the time so it totally clicks with me
I guess that means right now in my life I am: mellower with occasional hints at the way I was 9 years ago, more optimistic/happier, still kinda crazy :lol:
picked up the biophillia remixes that have been released on bjork.com in sets of 2 or 3 songs...for the most part pretty good!
against me! has always been one of my favorite local bands, and their constant rise of success has always been awesome to experience for the number of years i've been listening to them.
there is new news in the community of against me, with its singer Tom Gabel openly becoming transgender.
I honestly welcome this transformation, because its been hinted in the lyrics for years now,
and I want nothing but happiness for him, now her.
I've met Tom Gabel a handful of times, and it's taken a moment to adjust to the news,
but I openly support it entirely. I wore my against me t-shirt today in recognition.
http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1684798/against-me-tom-gabel-transgender.jhtml
so, needless to say, i'm listening to Against Me!

Killer Mike's new album wasn't even on my radar 'til this week, but holy shit the samples (http://soundcloud.com/wmstrecs) are fucking incredibly good. El-P produces the whole damn album, and the collision of Mike's dirty ATL lyrics with El-P's dirty NYC beats is amazing to behold.
The fact that Cartoon Network is footing the bill for the whole thing is the icing on the cake.

Gona have to get his albums when I buy the new El p album from amazon.
No one would happen to have the Trent Reznor/Peter Murphy 99x recording of Sanity Assassin, would they? I seem to have misplaced my file when I switched computers, and the only downloads I can find are torrents, which I've really never really fully understood, and I don't particularly like using...
find a good quality version of it on youtube and then use one of the many youtube-to-mp3 sites to rip the audio out of it.
The new El p album is awesome. I was kinda worried that it may not be as good as I'll sleep when you're dead. However it is.
On litany they have a music section (like non Skinny Puppy and non side projects section.) And they had a thread about the group Death Grips. They have two albums out I have gotten one (Exmilitary free to download from their site. http://thirdworlds.net/exmilitary.php) GREAT album. And while I don't want to sound like a hipster douche, these guys are fucking amazing. And they aren't the mainstream rap out there. Also they aren't just a guy rapping and then beats. But the music really plays a part, and the guy sings more then just raps. Very cool stuff.
Remember when pearl jam was good?

Damn that is sexy. However I'm trying to save. So I won't be getting one. :(
Anyone know if the group/person dude face AWOLNATION is any good/has any good albums to look into? I had some friends who say they put out some good shit and I liked a couple of their singles okay-ishly, but I'm not sure if I want to invest further. They kind of remind me of a less broody NIN for some reason.

WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS AWESOME. The covers of the cure and the smiths alone are fantastic. its like a mix of nin, garbage, and portishead.
how have i never heard of this album before now?
I had some mixed feelings on that SNC album. I got sort of into it back in 2004-2005 (I think? when did it come out?) but it faded pretty quickly for me. I still listen to it occasionally, but for some reason it never really "clicked" for me.

Agreed. As it is, the only song from that album that made the iTunes cut was "Vulcan".

Omg I didn't realize I lost this album in our last hard drive crash I missed it so much ^-^
Also discovered they have a new album from earlier this year, haven't listened yet
tv on the radio - nine types of light
omg yes this is awesome everyone should listen
so a while ago I discovered a relatively new radio station that plays an awesome mix of great 90's stuff and good new stuff, I haven't listened to the radio on a regular basis for a very long time because it sucked so much. anyway on Fridays at work I put on the good radio station because the owner rarely comes in that day and I have discovered so much awesome music.
The last few fridays I heard this song a few times and it totally is the shit
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUbYdjO7tE4
went looking for the album and it turns out it's being released in a few weeks but picked up their first two albums (which can be bought directly from their website which is very luna approved)
so far have listened to "the house that dirt built" and it is just fucking awesome :rock:

I picked up a used CD of that album, and I am sorry to say that the mastering job absolutely ruined it for me. Now, I'm no hard-and-fast audiophile---I'm not happy about the "loudness wars" and their effects on dynamics, but a crappy mastering job in its own right is usually not enough turn me off completely.
That being said,
The House That Dirt Built was the first time I'd personally felt that bad mastering was a real and perceivable detriment to a record. The music itself is really well done and the style practically begs for wide dynamic range; I want the rhythm section to cut through on the low end and enough space in the mix that the brass really kicks the songs into high gear. Instead, it's all uniformly loud. It's a damn shame, 'cause the music really deserves better.
I dunno either the mp3 is better quality or I'm way less picky than rynne...maybe a little of both :lol:
perhaps we should rename this thread "what luna is listening to"
anyway just picked up ORL - Octopus Kool Aid to hold me over until the new Heavy album next week and new Sheepdogs at the beginning of september :)
just got Godspeed You Black Emperor's Yanqui U.X.O. on vinyl, and its really awesome to hear in that format, so full and epic.
The new Black Light Burns album is also growing on me, "The Moment You Realize You're Going to Fall"
It feels like Wes Borland is toying with sounds of his own, while you can feel the influence from Reznor and Manson, etc.
Joy Wants Eternity - You Who Pretend to Sleep
Something I was totally disappointed in recently was the new Baroness double album.
What do you think of Black Light Burns in general, doom? I've heard mixed reviews about their first album and I thought it was alrightish, but it was probably something I'd listen to tracks from on YouTube on occasion. Not sure if they have any other albums besides the new one, but would you say they're (the new album especially) worth looking into?
I think Wes Borland has a lot of talent, and while a lot of what he writes is very mainstream sounding most of the time, i like his albums. Black Light Burns has 3 albums at the moment, one of them being a cover album, and the new one. I think the better songs are the ones with a little more instrumental time in them like: the moment you realize you're going to fall (song), cruel melody (song), and drowning together, dying alone (personal favorite song)
heres a cool video for the new album, using the song "the moment..."

Before seeing Saul, I played through his albums. And now after I haven't wanted to listen to much else...
The amount of energy he poured out on stage was crazy. He read the first part of "Dead Emcee Scrolls." He also talked and held a bit of an "open mic" at the start. Two people were brave enough to get up there and tell a poem. The first was a chick, who did a really short one, then a dude did a lot longer one. His was really good. (Not saying her's wasn't, just hard to judge 4/5 lines compared to a 4ish minute thing.) He kinda reminded me of Buddy Wakefield (look into him, he is really good) in his actions and the poem in general but in a good way (not saying he stole anything, just close to how Buddy did it.) Then Saul also said that we could just shout out questions to him. And some people did. Either way, it was an amazing night. I'm super glade I went.
Also the book (you could just buy a ticket, or get a ticket and book for 10 bucks more. The books came pre signed. Which was a cool surprise.)
Not sure which is weirder: that Michael Jackson demoed a bizarre anti-abortion song for possible inclusion on Bad, or that the first four bars make it sound like it's gonna be a Twitch outtake.

does anyone recommend an album or two?
I'm seeing Death Grips on the 29th (WOOOHOOO) and I bought the mp3 of their album "The Money Store" then I found out they put out another lp this year called "No Love Deep Web" That one is NSFW for the album art is a cock with that written on it. I kinda loled, but now I have said album art on my ipod... EH.
Their first album/mixtape is called "Exmilitary" it's really good, very loud rap, the beats are very crazy and a mix of stuff. Like punkish noiseish and a few other kinda of music all in one. Really awesome stuff. Also free from their site.
new crystal castles is sick.
right now soundtrack to the ballad of genesis and lady jaye. can't believe i never really listened to psychic tv before now.
I've been on a huge TMV kick as of late... I can say their newest album while still not blowing me away, is growing on me. I liked it from the get go, just wasn't dumb struck by it. Also been listening to all their albums... Not really in any order though. And still listening to Death Grips.

Constantines are an oddball in my music collection. I don't have anything else that really employs a writing style or lyrical delivery like these guys, and normally it doesn't really attract me (I'm not a huge fan of Leonard Cohen or Tom Waits, which I think are comparable in those respects). These guys, though, something just resonates, and I don't know what. Here's a great song of theirs, attached to a pretty crappy lyric video.

me too! I tried to get into their older stuff but it was just too pop-ey for me, I'm really loving this one though :)
O my heart and eureka are amazing, and this is just as good! instant favorite of the year
So David Bowie's all like, "Oh, BTW, new song."
Coincidentally I was just playing Scary Monsters last weekend as I took down the Christmas tree.
Why have I not known about the awesomeness of King Crimson until now? Epic fail. :(

np: "Starless" - King Crimson
I tried to get into King Crimson after we saw them open for Tool in um 2001? (they opened at the Lateralus small venue pre-tour) and just couldn't...maybe I should give it another go
Oh also was listening to Lateralus yesterday...12 years later this album is still one of my favorites of all time ^-^
Drone shame! But everyone has to start some time... I came into Puppy late...
Court of the Crimson King. Luna get that one first. Up to Larks Tongue. Those are the first 5 albums. I really like all of them... But Lark's and Court are amazing.
Will do :)
Court is a lot more uh normal rock album then Larks. They are all good albums very different. As I think no one was on all them but Fripp. And the amount of LSD they were talking had to be insane...
Theo/TPD posted this. Well a live version of it. This made me buy that cd and then the other four. (I have bought most their discog.)

Scott Walker – Bish Bosch
Swans – The Seer
Scott Walker is 70. Micheal Gira is 58. Both of them are at the age where most musicans would be comfortably costing on their past highlights (if they were even active at all). Instead, they're making epic albums that are more daring than musicians half their age.
Not to mention going 1–2 on the 2012 Brainwashed Readers Poll (http://brainwashed.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9534:2012-readers-poll-the-results).
Due to financial constraints, I have not purchased new music in awhile. But with both gift cards from Christmas and reception of my post Christmas/New Years paycheck (buttloads of holiday pay and overtime) I bought a few albums recently.
Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle
The Mission - Dum-Dum Bullet
New Order - Lost Sirens
DJ Shadow -- "I Gotta Rock"
The video is as good as the song, especially for any child or fan of the 80's. 8-)

Listening to With Teeth on vinyl right now. Goddamn it's been a long time!
(got some new powered studio monitors for christmas thanks to my awesome mother in law. They sound awesome.)
I had an urge to listen to with_teeth the other day...listened to The Slip and The Downward Spiral instead (which led to a day of reminiscing about our wave goodbye California trip :lol:
I'm sure it's not nearly as bad as I remember it
Coincidentally, I was listening to The Downward Spiral and The Slip on my drives to work this week. I think it must've been at least a year since I last heard either. The Downward Spiral reconfirmed its place as my favorite album of all time. I remain ambivalent about The Slip.
In fact, as the years go on I find that Trent's post-Year Zero output seems less and less important to me. Even the stuff I liked upon first listen, like Ghosts I–IV and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I find less interesting when I put it on now (and HTDA hasn't really interested me at all). Meanwhile, I still think With_Teeth is a fun and worthwhile, if not spectacular, album. I wish I could identify that certain special component that makes some of Trent's work supremely enjoyable to me, while his other work lacks appeal.
I'm not making an indictment of Trent being lazy or losing some "spark" of creativity. Unlike, say, Al Jorgensen, I think Trent is still making efforts to push his own boundaries. But wherever he's going, I only seem to be intermittently along for the ride. Oh well, here's to hoping the next NIN album has it, even though I can't articulate what it is.
I agree. I think the only reason I enjoy listening to The Slip at all is because it reminds me of that last show. TDS on the other hand is still one of my favorite albums of all time ^-^
I was telling someone the other day how I actually remember the night I bought it! I was 14 (and yes I still have my original copy) :lol:
Ha, I also remember the night I bought it at age 14. It was the day after it came out (OMG I'm so old). I have my original copy, too, but I can't play it 'cause I don't have a cassette player anymore. :lol:
That's awesome! Mine is on cd and I bought it in '95
remember when we would get people showing up at PI telling us that if you used paint thinner to remove the design on the TDS disc, you could then flip it over and play the hidden track?
I think that was before my time :lol:
Been listening to Tomahawk. Their new album drops Tuesday.
Also a lot of El-p. Then the normal mash of SP TOOL and a sprinkling of other stuffs...
OK I'm apparently having a reminiscing kind of week
Tool - Lateralus ^-^
It's amazing how this album is still so significant in my life after all this time
I have had the song Lateralus on loop today. Fucking love that song.
also been playing some TMV since they died. :( :'(

I'm even more hostile to The Slip than you are, and I still think of the TDS - Still period as the "classic" period of NIN, if such thing exists. But Ghosts, and to a lesser extent the TGWTDT soundtrack, remain two of my favourite things TR has put out. Conversely, I liked YZ at first but am almost bored by it now. I can't think of any NIN album that has lost its appeal more quickly to me than YZ. (HTDA so far as been a mildly interesting diversion but ultimately disposable.
My favourite post YZ release Trent has done is The Social Network score hands-down. I have listened to that thing a thousand times over and it never gets old.
I listened to a bunch of TMV after I heard too, not that I found the news shocking...kind of expecting to hear the same about tool soon too :(
Cedric's comment about being the housewife while omar goes out and fucks other bands was pretty hilarious though :lol:
Moonface - Heartbreaking Bravery
this came out last year, and its totally blowing my mind how good and atmospheric it is.
joy division feel.
totally recommend it.
The only thing about TMV (which I guess shows how hopeful I am) is that since there is two of them, it shouldnt be hard to get back together... (I hope)
I read that tool's new album is almost done just need the Nard to do vocals... Not sure how true that is or not. I hope they put out one more and tour. Lot's of tour so I can see them again.
NEW TOMAHAWK DROPS TODAY! It should be here when I get home from work!!! WOOO Also my friend bough a ticket to go to the show, so I will have someone to see them with (someone that I know...)

Well just to shake it up a bit. I want new tool then new APC and a tour to boot. That would be sweet. I would however want Paz to play bass on the APC tour. Cuz she is hot and can rock my socks. All at once.
The new Tomahawk is really good. I haven't listened to anything else since I got it. It has a bit of diversity in that it isn't all the same song. Which shouldn't be surprising. The music is really good (and with as big a fanboi as I am of Mike Patton the singing is also awesome.) I see these guys the 12th of this month. Can't fucking wait.

Hey radiohead people I like in rainbows and the king of limbs but am pretty meh about their old stuff, what other albums should I pick up?
Amnesiac and Kid A should be your next stops then, followed by Hail To The Theif. You probably don't want to go any farther back than OK Computer, but Kid A was a pretty big transition point for them. More than likely you'll only like stuff after that point.
I second the motion for Kid A and Amnesiac, but would put much more emphasis on OK Computer. That album is still their best cover to cover album IMO.
I think I have ok computer on cd, haven't listened to it in ages but wasn't really into it in the first place.....then again that was back in high school I think? Picking up kid A and amnesiac now. Thanks :)
I may be one of the only people I know that is a big fan of Hail to The Thief.
I've been listening to these Rockabye Baby! Renditions for a while
Nine Inch Nails, Tool, The Pixies, Queens of The Stone Age, Bjork, The Cure, they're all so good.
Hail To The Thief ended up being the first one I picked up, I really like it!
Ministry - In Case You Didn't Feel Like Showing Up. For my money, this is the high point of Ministry's career---the best versions of the best songs from the best albums.
p.s. Why couldn't Fleetwood Mac have made more songs like "Tusk"?
So I was lurking on Prongs and found this cover of Ministry's "Every Day Is Halloween":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBD57oT3RVA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBD57oT3RVA)
The singer is a winner of RuPaul's Drag Race, apparently (I don't know, we lost Logo when we switched to FiOS). The music is nice, actually---the guy (girl?) responsible has worked with Current 93 and Marc Almond. The shocking moment came when I realized that the vocals sound like a less wigged-out* version of Marilyn Manson.
*Does not indicate that MM is more be-wigged than a drag queen.
on Radiohead, the live album I Might Be Wrong is worth picking up. Covers some of the best material from Kid A and Amnesiac. Better versions, too.
Listening to Howard Stern right now (like I usually do in the mornings at work). He is running his "Whole Lotta Love" rerun week and they are playing the Gary Dell'Abate (Bababooey) apology tape episode right now. :lol: It is just as fucking unbelievably hilarious now as it was when I heard it originally back in '99. SO GOOD.
For anyone that loves Stern's show and has never heard this episode, look it up on youtube and enjoy.
So what's Mike Portnoy been up to since leaving Dream Theater? Well, a few things. One of them is a "straight-forward" metal band, Adrenaline Mob, which is boring as all hell. Avoid it. Then there's the significantly more interesting Flying Colors, a supergroup consisting of Portnoy, Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs bassist), Neal Morse (Transatlantic & Spock's Beard vocalist/keyboardist), Steve Morse (Dixie Dregs/Deep Purple guitarist) and Casey McPherson (Endochine/Alpha Rev vocalist). The resulting album is diverse and extremely well-executed, and its a beautiful thing to hear when some extremely talented people really mesh.
Flying Colors - "Forever in a Daze" (Flying Colors) (http://youtu.be/rQ1EttkXFDQ)
Just yesterday it was announced they're heading into the studio to have their second album out by the end of the year.

Antony & the Johnsons – I Am a Bird Now
Fiona Apple – The Idler Wheel Is Wiser...
Grouper – Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill

I also got one of the guys at work to give me some metal albums, mostly as a way to hear something I wouldn't tend to seek out on my own. Of the bands he gave me, I'm digging Exivious, The Faceless, Ensiferum, and The Sword (who I know are about as throw-back trendy as you can get in metal, but fuck it, they're fun).
I don't know whether to laugh or cry :huh:

also, the bassist from The Faceless has a solo album where he plays two bass at once, in a style similar to Animals as Leaders

KMFDM - Kunst
I think it's their best album since at LEAST WWIII.
First thing's first: this album is the worst offender in KMFDM's discography at recycling lyrics (and that's saying something). However, it's not like I listen to KMFDM to hear groundbreaking, thought-provoking lyrics in the first place, so I'm okay with that. Musically, it sounds like a mix of modern KMFDM with Money era KMFDM and Xtort era KMFDM, which I absolutely adore.
Elbow - Asleep In The Back, The Seldom Seen Kid, Leaders Of The Free World
Been listening to these three albums on repeat lately. I really can't get enough of Guy Garvey's voice. I want to live in it forever. Must buy all the Elbow things!

Have to check that out!
I don't lnow how this awesome landed in my lap, but I was spinning in traktor and saw a track that is the Castlevania theme by Cradle of Filth. :rock:

Daft Punk's Random Access Memories is owning me.
Band Called Stoned Jesus. Stoner rock, reallllllllly good stuff.
Seven Thunders Roar. I'm The Mountain, and Stormy Monday are both really good.
The Knife - Shaking the Habitual
Don't know if I'm alone here, but I think the more the Knife blurs the lines between pop and experimentalism, beauty and grotesquery, the more they make me feel like they're the spiritual successors to Throbbing Gristle.
Also: El-P - "How to Serve Man (The Meanest Things I'd Never Say)" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzQS_IPrvoc) is devastating.

So I have both their albums now. They have two LP's and then a few ep's (singles mostly) It's really impressive to see the growth one album made. Their first album is a good solid rock album. (Very Black Sabbathy in that it's pretty slow paced, like just rock not speed metal or anything. And dirty guitar parts, like the riffs and stuff...) While it's Stoner Rock to a T, its also different, they have their own sound (Granted, I don't know that many stoner rock bands other then Kyuss, Sleep, and a few others.) BUT they don't really sound like them.
Their second album shows a lot more growth, and some of the songs are more mellow. Either way, I really like both the albums, and haven't really been playing/listening to much else. (I have been on a Lateralus (song) Kick as of late though...)
I love the new AIC. And the new Sabbath. And the new Bowie. And can't stand the new Nick Cave. If the new AIC is honey nut cornflakes with whiskey, the new Sabbath an egg and bacon bap and the new Bowie scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on a lightly toasted bagel, the new Nick Cave is soggy semolina.

I see this as the sci-fi remake of "The Overly Dramatic Truth."
https://www.facebook.com/bellsintomachines
"Paul Barker, Chris Connelly, Lee Popa, Toby Wright, and Brian Diemar. Featuring Janne Jarvis, Chris Rose, and some other very special guests "
sounds very oldskool!

If anyone is interested in reading my review of Incitare:
http://www.amazon.com/Incitare-Volto/product-reviews/B00CTCI3JC/ref=sr_1_1_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
I remember I had a bet with somebody - maybe it was Blair - that it would never be made, but I underestimated Ziegler's careerist determination.
JG Thirlwell and Zola Jesus may just be the greatest thing ever:
https://soundcloud.com/sacredbones/zola-jesus-fall-back
the cd and and dvd of the guggenheim show came in today and it's sooo friggin' awesome beyond words.
I don't have the DVD. Just the CD. However it's realllllllllllllllly good. And while I liked Zola Jesus before this. She was never really my cup of tea. (Like I really liked her voice, however I couldn't listen to it all the time, I had to be in the mood for it...) And now, that there is a lot more happening with the music, it makes it easier to listen to. (Not that she was harsh before. Just it was way more focused on her vocals then anything else. Now there also the music to really listen to as well.)
Yeezus
Part of me wants to believe that Kanye is the most blatantly-trolling provocateur since Throbbing Gristle. How else to explain something like "I'm In It," the Bon Iver-assisted rauch-fest with Year Zero-esque production, which features not one but two rhymes conflating the civil rights movement with degrading, misogynistic sex (viz: "Your titties, let 'em out, free at last / Thank God almighty, they free at last" and "Black girl sippin' white wine / Put my fist in her like a civil rights sign")?
But when he's on it, he's on it. "On Sight" is more thrilling than any of the new NIN songs I've heard. And Tren likes it, too (http://www.spin.com/articles/trent-reznor-nine-inch-nails-kanye-west-implode/).
I couldn't really get into Yeezus. the lyrics were just headshaking bad and it sounded unfinished... and by all accounts it was unfinished and rushed.
interesting moments but man this could have been a much better ep than an album if he just fucking focused.
NEW FOETUS ALBUM IN OCTOBER... FEATURING THIS:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4__mYA_wd2I
Just got the last two manorexia and foetus releases (LIMB and HIDE). Mindblowing stuff.
Fucking awesome!
yeah, i've been on an insane jg kick as of late. i thank you a kajillion times for getting me into that guy.
So how do we feel about Rieflin throwing in his lot with Fripp? Though I don't know that I'd want to see a KC lineup without Adrian.
Well, Bill can do no wrong. I wonder if KC obligations is why he isn't involved in Barker/Connelly's new band?
I wonder if Bill will be *only* on drums for this one?
Whoa. Rieflin in crimson but no belew? So many mixed feels.
The Barker & Bells collab mentioned busting out some old REVCO tracks on the tour. \m/
Like this one they did in sep: http://youtu.be/3R6Xn-tDC9c
IKR? I haven't been this conflicted since Bozzio joined KoRn for five minutes.
Remember when you said:
QuoteWHY HASN'T EVERY PUSCIFER TRACK BEEN AS COOL AS THE ONE ON THE UNDERWORLD SOUNDTRACK?
I'm scared to consider that Lohner might have been responsible for the awesomeness of "The Undertaker;" as I don't consider him as much of an achiever.

Hey Teeps, you've seen that it's up for order now? There's a new film soundtrack available too!
Also, I'm super-excited for the new Swans fundraiser live album. .......... Which, now that I check at this very moment, has already sold out. Well, glad I got my order in.

ahk, that makes sense, actually.
nothing mayjay has done since 10k days has moved me. i'm kind of sad about that. here's hoping he doesn't fuck up the new tool.
ah, well. here's looking to that live overpriced edition of those apc albums...

Yup. :) Ordered that as soon as i got back from Toronto (hanging with Dust).
I also ordered the soundtrack, and Damp, which i only have a shitty mp3 copy of.
Holy fuck. So I was saying the Swans fundraiser album sold out? Turns out it was my fault: I got album #2000/2000. :rock:
I also somehow got an additional copy, which I didn't pay for and can't in good conscience keep. I emailed Young God Records and hopefully they'll be able to take it back and send it to another fan.
Bitchin!
Now on to the antithesis of Bitchin...
Anyone here the latest limp bizkit (remember them) cover of theives?
It is beyond laughably bad... I remEmBer hearing a live boot of that track like a decade ago but it was never... THAT bad. Was pretty horrible then but it reached a whole new level of poop.

I'm struggling to come up with language to describe how truly, egregiously awful that diarrhetic puddle of shit is.
I think the most amazing part is how the song actually gets more and more repellant as it goes. The indistinct, mushy guitar sludge sets the tone right from the beginning. Now here comes Durst sounding like a petulant 8-year-old having a tantrum (well, of course, when doesn't he?). But that ain't the worst of it by far: a little while later, "Woooooooo! C'mon!" Oh my god, kill me. The drummer isn't on-beat during the bridge---how you you manage to fuck that up, man? Then Durst's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad rant at the breakdown reaches whole new levels of abysmalness: if I had spent my entire existence searching for the most grating, uninspired possible way to exhort people to "Get up, get up!" I feel like I could now die with my life's goal fulfilled.
And... uh... I guess we never figured out how to end the song? Let's pound on the sampler keys like an epileptic chimp for a bit then throw in a minute of half-assed ambiance with what sounds like Sloth from
The Goonies and call it a day, huh? Perfect!
*edit*
On the other hand, I've been recently enthralled by Jay Munly, particularly this track:
Munly & the Lee Lewis Harlots - "Big Black Bull Comes Like a Caesar" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cW93ocCO-sM)
I think someone smarter than me needs to tell me how to unpack everything in that song. I get the general themes (loss of innocence, taboo, fraternity, animal husbandry) but I'm at a loss to explain what it actually means. It's beautiful and terrifying.
It goes all the way back to the murder ballads and fairy tales, the stories in all forms about the danger inherent in gaining maturity, the cautionary tales which were purposely meant to terrify. The Gothic tradition, if you consider the roots of Appalachia, for example. But it's also got that Greco-Roman tragedy and mythology vibe. I think it's supposed to simultaneously exist at several levels of reference.
What's better than getting a JG Thirlwell cd in the mail? getting 3 of them.
Soak, Damp, and The Blue Eyes OST arrived in my mailbox.
I've only heard a shitty mp3 copy (probably of a stream) of DAMP before and I'm soooo fucking glad I got a proper sounding tangible version of that comp.
And SOAK sounds fucking amazing so far.

FUCK YES!
and yet another chris connelly side project... and it feels like linger fickin good era revco:

NSFW LYRICS
Totally agreed on Soak. I am loving the operatic pieces, especially "Spat." Wouldn't surprise me if JGT ends up writng a full-fledged opera one of these days.
It might be because their eclecticism allows for more surprises on initial listen, but I feel like Soak follows Damp in being more immediately enjoyable than their corresponding "official" albums. Now all Jim has to do is get this long-rumored rare/vinyl-only compilation off the ground and convince Adult Swim to put out another V Bros soundtrack or three...
The Blue Eyes OST seems like a pretty logical extension of Manorexia; I like it but Soak is clearly the prize here.
Finally, I love that Connelly's returning to the industrial teat after all these years. Just wish he'd get Bells into Machines and Cocksure released in an actual format instead of streams.
I have decided Mikey really does need to go in a new direction because I have never felt so ancient as when headbanging to "Last."
:P
I have been listening to a lot of STP. And I watched the MTV unplugged thing they did. Then more videos. And Scott's weight loss is amazing. And not really in a good way. But a weird kinda way. Like it's shocking to see the pre heroin Scott sing, and then now (err before he got kicked out) Super Skinny Heroin dude up there and then he sings in the same voice... It really blows my mind...
PS I can't stop listening to Plush, Sex Type Thing, Creep, Crackerman, Wicked Garden and Interstate love Song.
Dude you need you some deep cuts:
"No Memory/Sin"
"Meatplow"
"Kitchenware & Candybars"
"Adhesive"
"Down" (which is the cheesy single, but it's the kind of cheese STP can do without irony)
"No Way Out" (well, this was a single, allegedly)
Although I would really say listen to all of Shangri-La Dee Da:
"Regeneration"
"Transmissions from a Lonely Room"
"Long Way Home"
Still can't stand the comeback album; incredibly conflicted about the EP, it's like, "Why didn't you just bring Dave Coutts back, FFS?!"
I have "Core" and I also have "Purple" Both are good. However I find my self repeating the same song over and over. I will be checking those songs out though. Thanks Chim.
Purple is a good album, it was my favorite until Shangri-La was released.
ahhh I love old stp. Core and Purple are just ^-^
bowie. bowie. bowie. bowie.
quelle surprise.
"Core" also doesn't swear which means I can listen to it in the back room with out any issues. (both APC albums swear as do most tool albums and SP is well SP....) But ya, I'm digging their newer stuff.
Re: the discussion about Trent's Beats playlist...why is anyone surprised he listens to hip-hop and R&B? We've known for this for years now.

Tusk at the same time but never previously admitted to the latter. :p
i miss you, chim <3
listening to gary numan this month. a lot. (show's tomorrow)
might switch to kraftwerk soon because that show's on sunday.
also listening to some potential collabs... because i haven't done that in ages due to being caught up in my own bs and misery train.
OMFG Omar and Cedric couldn't even stay divorced a year? Now that's true love, baby. ;)
Doesn't this sort of remind people of Tremulant? Or is it just me...
I haven't had s chance to listen to much of it....still annoyed they couldn't pull a mars volts tour together :/
I was thinking maybe it's easier for them to work independently under a new identity; maybe using the name has too many legal hassles attached. Their engineer guy or whomever that posts at the Comatorium, he was saying it's a whole new thing; although because it is Omar and Cedric it's going to automatically evoke everything else they've ever done.
that vid of them in the studio is sooooo friggin' adorbs...

Probably late to the game on this, but I'm interested to see that one (of the dozen or so) co-producers from Yeezus also makes some damn fine neo-EBM.
