This whole thread is a great "to listen" list. Don't even know where to begin.
I'm currently discovering "The Doors" (dinosaurs? maybe, but I was less than an atom when The Lizard King was around). Plus some Stone Temple Pilots, some 60s oldies, PJ Harvey's first album and, humm, the Guitar Hero III compilation.
alias & _____ is headbobbing sleepy comfort. alias & ehren = really warm idm/hiphop/downtempo beats with woodwinds on top alias & tarsier = really warm idm/hiphop/downtempo beats with less spastic bjork-ish vocals
and, three cheers for Jesu. good call. perhaps that next.
I drove around Iowa City yesterday, giving The Mars Volta's Francis the Mute a good listen for the first time. Took me a while to get to it.
Aside from that, it's been Telepopmusik and Jimmy Eat World and this solo from Punch You in the Eye by Phish that won't stop going around and around in my head. Hardly need to actually listen to anything, when that's happening. I got my own soundtrack.
Also listening to Joanna Newsom's Ys at work, along with Beirut's Gulag Orkestar, Band of Horses' first album, and a mash-up of Penguin Cafe Orchestra tracks. No one else brought any music in, so they get to listen to my stuff. Lucky devils.
It's the night before my one hour college radio show so I have been fine tuning a list of music I like and doesn't include words like fuck and shit. Which is much harder then I anticipated when I started. It's finals week so it's quite light hearted. Here's my list The Adverts - One Chord Wonders Fugazi - Waiting Room The Ramones - Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue The Aquabats - Awesome Forces Groovie Ghoulies - Bye Bye Brain They Might Be Giants - Dead Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Ghostbusters The Vandals - Too Much Drama Nerf Herder - Pantera Fans in Love The Cramps - Creture from the Black Leather Lagoon Tiger Army - Hotprowl Dropkick Murphys - Finnegan's Wake The Buzzcocks - Why Can't I Touch It? Flogging Molly - If I Ever Leave This World Alive Against Me! - Pints of Guiness Make You Strong Social Distortion - Ring Of Fire Johnny Cash - Rusty Cage
A bit eclectic, but hell last week I played some William Shatner side by side with Rasputina and Iggy Pop.
Voltaire - The Devil's Bris The Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way Serj Tankian - Elect The Dead
