Wounded Cougar - Drop Your Panties
Kitsch-rock at it's finest.
Well, speaking of 90's music, for those who still care, Third Eye Blind has an EP coming out on Tuesday with two really great songs on it.
Wounded Cougar - Drop Your Panties
Kitsch-rock at it's finest.
The Wrong Side by Abney Park
Listening to them for the first time. Somewhat slightly silly Steampunk/industrial band with a bit of a gothic element and airship pirates
... airship pirates?
Metallica - Suicide & Redemption K.H (off of Death Magnetic). Listened to the entire album really, All Nightmare Long is great too. The whole album is really solid. If you don't like metallica you probably won't care that much for the album, but its really pretty accessible.
I've not been a big fan of Metallica for a while, and I must say it feels good to like them again. They've gotten a lot of shit, but Master of Puppets and And justice for all are classics.
I've since moved on to much heavier types of metal (and lots of other kinds of music), but I still have a special place in my heart for Metallica.
Abney Park have a really incredible visual aesthetic (and Magdalene Veen is really hot), but they sound too much like the music in the various clubs in VtM: Bloodlines for me.
Last song listened to: LCD Soundsystem - 'Watch the Tapes' in the car on the way home from work
Of couse, when you enter Parliament, you will all also be ripped to the teats on fine cocaine...
The Toadies - Possum Kingdom.
Great music, but really creepy lyrics.
Sigur Rós - Hoppípolla
Simply put: it's beautiful. And that's enough, really.
I have to agree with BEAR on this one. The new Metallica is fucking ace. I can't believe it's taken them this long to be listenable again.
Having discovered Crystal Castles the other day I've been looping their self-titled album.
I've been really enjoying Blur lately. No one I know seems to know them, although that's probably just a combination of me living in America and Blur being from the 90's. Although they're reuniting!
I'm liking the Arctic Monkeys too, but it might be because I love The Fratellis and Franz Ferdinand and Arctic Monkeys feels like a combination of the two.
Thanks for making me Google them, and getting their song "Crimewave" stuck in my head. It plays over and over and over.
I enjoy the mellower songs on there. Can't say much for Alice Practice I like "Magic Spells" and "Black Panther" a lot. This music reminds me of old skool gaming. Their synth sounds are reminiscent of an Atari 5200 or something. I'd recommend this album a looksie for people who enjoy a bit of Electronica. This shit is right up Sypha's alley, but I don't want to scare you others off.
I'm a particular fan of "Love and Caring" and "Untrust Us". But yeah this is pretty much raw bitpop. I only discovered it because a friend with questionable taste in music thought it was great.
The new Animal Collective just got 9.6 on Pitchfork, which is a good indication that the album will be at least worth picking up. And I loved Person Pitch (by Panda Bear, one of the members of Animal Collective) last year, though I heard it too late to put on my list. It would've easily made top five.
Yeah crystal castles are good, but don't say it too loudly or the electronica nazi's on the forum will get upset.
you're upsetting the grammar nazis too
Oh well, you pick your battles, I guess.
Pick yer own battle's!
I've just been listening to battles actually. Good band.
Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
ttlg might like it -- i suppose the closest tag would be down-tempo, but in this case with more of an edge... say, downtempo for active-listener? Maybe?
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus- False Pretense
Not even sure what to call these guys, though it's catchy.
Manhunt soundtrack, nougat.
