Record store:

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).

if you're into The Sword, you should check out Sleep, Pallbearer, and Witchcraft.

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!

New bowie is just so awesome.

Today listening to a lot of foetus and download and goblin.

New bowie is just so awesome.

Agreed!  I can only hope that I'm that cool when I'm old enough to be collecting Social Security. (Spoiler: I won't be.)

I'm digging the new Nick Cave, too. It's a total 180 from the last Bad Seeds and Grinderman, but I really like the spare, minimalist vibe of it.

[TPD]

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.

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)" is devastating.

Band Called Stoned Jesus. Stoner rock, reallllllllly good stuff.

Seven Thunders Roar. I'm The Mountain, and Stormy Monday are both really good.

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.
